Chapter 269: Some Daily Life: Earthquake 02

Chapter 269

To everyone's surprise, it was a man. The staff member was taken aback, as they had been informed that the blogger was supposed to be a woman. They wondered if this could be a behind-the-scenes staff member, as they had heard that some accounts were actually operated by teams.

However, after further inquiry, the staff member's worldview was completely shaken. As they handed the phone to Mayor Cui, they stammered, "It's... the Chairman of Chi Corporation on the line..."

Mayor Cui nodded, then asked in surprise, "Who did you say?"

The staff member replied, "Chi Yan, the Chairman of Chi Corporation."

Mayor Cui's eyes widened noticeably, but he quickly regained his composure, being a seasoned public figure. "Hello, Chairman Chi. This is Cui Ming, Mayor of Yuanqiu City."

"Hello, Mayor Cui."

Mayor Cui was familiar with the Chi Corporation Chairman, although they had never met in person. The Chi Corporation's branch in Yuanqiu City was a major taxpayer, and he had met with the branch's general manager before.

Mayor Cui quickly explained the situation, "I never expected Chairman Chi to be the owner of this account. I'd like to know if that particular prediction is true."

Chi Yan responded gravely, "I can assure you it's true. This account actually belongs to one of my associates, not me personally. I can say that she has never made an incorrect prediction. If you don't believe me, you can investigate everything this account has stated."

"Alright, we will investigate. Thank you."

"No need for thanks. It's all for the people."

"On behalf of the people of Yuanqiu City, I thank you."

...

After hanging up, Mayor Cui ordered, "Contact the Seismological Bureau immediately. Send someone to investigate the 'Prophecy Little Witch' account."

"Yes, sir."

The news that Yuanqiu City was about to experience an earthquake quickly spread throughout the nation. Among the residents of Yuanqiu City, some believed it, while others didn't. Those who believed began preparing to stay with relatives elsewhere or stocking up on supplies.

Those who didn't believe continued their daily lives as usual.

The investigation results came back quickly.

"Mayor, the Seismological Bureau says there is indeed a possibility of an earthquake."

"Can they predict the magnitude?"

"7.9 magnitude! It's reached 7.9!"

"Everyone, protect yourselves!"

"Self-preservation is the priority!"

...

The earthquake lasted only moments, but to everyone, it felt like an eternity. Aftershocks followed... However, the silver lining was that everyone had been prepared.

During the earthquake, #YuanqiuCityEarthquake and #ProphecyLittleWitch instantly became trending topics, exploding across social media.

After what seemed like an eternity, people held their breath, no longer feeling the earth move beneath them. They realized it had finally stopped, though aftershocks were still possible. But the worst seemed to be over.

Many people burst into tears.

Some cried with relief that their families were safe, while others wept over the loss of their homes...

Nearby, Old Man Chen's face was ashen.

Chu Yang and Chi Yan had been following the situation closely. The moment the earthquake hit, Chi Yan began issuing orders: "Activate the Yuanqiu City disaster relief plan immediately."

"Yes, sir!"

Even little Jiujiu and Huohuo brought out their piggy banks, saying, "Mom, Dad, can we donate too?"

Chu Yang stroked their little faces. "Of course. Let Dad help you make the donation."

"Okay!"

The Prophecy Little Witch account didn't just go viral; its follower count skyrocketed to over 10 million in just two days—a genuine figure without any bought followers. People began digging through the account's past posts, with every investigator exclaiming, "This blogger is truly incredible."

The earthquake's damage was extensive, but people's lives had been saved, which made it all worthwhile.

A month after the incident, someone approached Chu Yang. "Mrs. Chi, would you be interested in taking up a position in a government department?"

Chu Yang: ...

After several days of discussion with Chi Yan, Chu Yang eventually accepted a position in public service.
