Please make money.

It wasn't until she became an adult and had her own abilities that she caused such a big commotion...

The elevator door opened. Uncle San pursed his lips and patted Alia on the shoulder: "Actually - it's not a big deal. Just adjust some machinery back."

Ailia looked at her uncle in confusion. Why did you suddenly change your mind just when taking the elevator?

What's going on? You didn't wear helmets when you went to the headquarters for meetings before, but now you are afraid in the elevator?

I am not some elevator god...

The confused Alia didn't get an explanation in the end, but that didn't matter. What she cared about was how much wealth she had.

“How many usable construction machines can be brought back?”

"According to your previous request, the equipment we are bringing back this time is mainly self-propelled earth-moving machinery, a total of 300 loaders and excavators. In addition, there are some special vehicles, such as aerial loading platforms, but there are too few of them, only about ten."

"Why is there only so much?" Alia was about to take a bite of the noodles, but the noodles lost their flavor after hearing this: "Shouldn't our annual production be around 3,000 units a year?"

"That's the annual output, and it's all sold overseas. How much of it can we use ourselves? The ones transferred this time are all for mining."

Ai Rulin works in the mechanical and chemical industry, which is manufacturing, not mining, and what Ailia wants is self-propelled engineering machinery that can wade through water.

If it weren't for the fact that he still had a few mines with a batch of large-scale construction machinery in use, Ai Rulin would not have been able to gather such a large quantity.

What can three hundred excavators do?

If Ai Rulin were equipped with a mature earthmoving team, he would be able to demolish the eight-lane overpass in the center of Tianhai City in one night!

The next day when I went out, the ground was completely white, with nothing left.

If this kind of project were to be completed using ordinary construction procedures, it would take at least a month - that's how powerful it is if there are enough construction machinery.

But the problem is that there is no order to dismantle the overpass. The shipping cost alone for transferring more than 300 pieces of construction machinery back would be a huge sum of money.

Usually, excavators ask how much cargo a train carriage can carry, but now they ask how many excavators a train can carry. Is this reasonable?

Even on his way here, Ai Rulin received calls from several ports in Tianhai City, asking whether there were large orders for construction machinery that needed to be exported.

This must be a big order from someone who needs the goods urgently, right? I know, I know. Come to our port! Our service is very good!

Ai Rulin didn't know how to tell them. Should he tell them that the disaster happened because of an eighteen-year-old girl who built high walls and stored up grain?

Alia scratched her face and said, "Okay, time is really too tight..."

Uncle San wanted to say something, but in the end he just sighed and picked up the vinegar bottle on the table: "What do you want?"

"Need not."

The two of them then sat down to eat noodles. An Lele and the driver sat at the same table next to them. The former ate without restraint, leaving the latter stunned.

The third uncle took a look at An Lele's eating manner and said meaningfully: "Your Aunt An is a very powerful person. An Lele... don't treat her as an ordinary driver or bodyguard. Treat her well."

Alia looked up in confusion: "Huh?"

An Lele's ears twitched, and he came closer alertly, squinting at his uncle.

Did you say something sensitive just now? I heard it! Be nice to me—ah, not that—Auntie An! My master!

Uncle San wiped his mouth and looked at An Lele: "Do you have a driver's license?"

"No."

"Go ahead and learn. Once you've learned it, I'll give your eldest daughter a bulletproof sedan. Second brother's car is not suitable for daily use."

Alia was only 18 years old, and that car was the first commercially available limousine to roll off the production line in the country. It was only appropriate for Alia's father to sit in it at the time.

An Lele didn't comment, stole a chicken leg from Alia's bowl, and went back to continue eating.

Is it possible that it is not me who wants to ride a shared bike, but that I am just being willful?

This is just my personal experience, not speculation, and it may not be correct.

Uncle San looked at his watch and asked, "Is Xiaoyu asleep at this time?"

"Of course not. I'm playing games at home."

"At home, she should be asleep at this time."

"Guess whether your daughter is sleeping quietly in bed or reading a novel with a flashlight?"

"...Xiaoyu is very well behaved." Uncle San was a little uncertain: "She always keeps a regular schedule."

Alia looked at him sideways and laughed her to death. The old father who only comes home once a month knows his daughter so well!

If another ten or eight years passes, his memory may still remain at the time when his children were in elementary and junior high school, while the children have already graduated from college.

That’s not right. It seems that many fathers are like this - but Uncle San is definitely the worst among many fathers.

Seeing how hard he had worked these past two days, Alia didn't question him. She just lowered her head and ate her noodles. "Go visit her at home and bring some snacks back. She likes to eat jelly recently. You can buy two kilograms of jelly at the supermarket downstairs. Remember to pay for it. Don't buy those weird gifts with fancy packaging all the time. They are just for show."

The way the third uncle expresses his fatherly love is simple, rough and direct. He prepares "little princess style" gifts for his daughter on time.

Sister Yu lives in Alia's house, and one day she even received a whole luxury series of 28 new dresses in a total of 84 colors.

With all the accessories, there was so much that ten wardrobes couldn't fit them all. And the deliveries were not made by couriers but by unloading trucks.

But the problem was that she didn't like that style of clothes, so in the end she had to send all the ten wardrobes to the villa.

In the end, Sister Yu wore the loose-fitting home-style clothes that Alia liked. She looked like Alia inside and out. How sad...

Uncle San looked at his watch again: "Isn't this time inappropriate? It's late at night."

"You think your daughter needs to be divided into day and night? Why? Business visit?"

"……I did not mean that."

"You'd better hurry up, it might be too late tomorrow."

Uncle San was horrified: "What do you mean?!"

"It will rain heavily tomorrow. Tianhai City will definitely be flooded. And it's not just ordinary flooding. You may be able to get through with a mining truck, but a Maybach definitely can't."

Even the Maybach, which was started in the northeastern dialect, had no wading hose longer than two meters.

Uncle San's shock suddenly turned into speechlessness: "How could it be that bad..."

Alia snorted, too lazy to explain anything, and continued to eat noodles to replenish her energy.

Uncle San looked at his watch for the third time, but still couldn't help wanting to go see his daughter, so he got up and left.

There was no need to explain anything. He wanted to persuade Alia that it would be okay even if they didn't have to fight, but Alia only asked him to pack more emergency supplies.

"Isn't the trunk quite big? It can be used to decorate it with life jackets, inflatable boats, water and self-heating food. Do you think a Maybach is suitable for going to a construction site?"

Uncle San nodded helplessly: "Okay, okay, I understand..."

An Lele looked at the other person's back as he left, and moved closer to Alia with the bowl in hand.

"Miss, no one believes you - I am different. It's not that I don't trust your intuition, I just want to see what Tianhai is."

"You'd better not see it. It's not a good thing." Alia put the last mouthful of noodles into her mouth and said vaguely: "Let's take the subway tomorrow. Do you want to go?"

"……Why?"

"I received an unknown message on my phone. Is this an acceptable excuse?"

"You might as well say that the gentleman and the lady came to you in a dream, or some unknown message or something like that. It sounds like someone is behind this."

"Who knows, this rain, why did it come at such a bad time..."

245-Faced with Disaster

It's a new day, the sky is just getting light, and for a moment it seems that the rain has stopped and the sun is about to come out, but immediately it becomes gray again.

The rain is getting heavier, and Tianhai City is almost going to continue the misery of the past few days.

But what everyone doesn’t know is that at 11 o’clock last night, the Tianhai Meteorological Bureau had already issued seven red warning signals for heavy rain.

Even this morning, the head of the Meteorological Bureau sent out three more copies with trembling hands, and saw the rainfall records for the four hours in the morning.

"The rainfall in the whole province is increasing. There are more than 400 stations with more than 300 mm of rainfall, 154 stations with more than 200 mm of rainfall, 467 stations with more than 100 mm of rainfall, and at least stations with more than mm of rainfall, and the number is still increasing..."

“How much rainfall was there at the highest point?”

"It's already past five hundred at seven in the morning!"

"No, this is not a rainstorm anymore - contact all public transportation departments immediately! Subways! Stop the subways first!"

……

……

"Miss, what's the big deal about us getting up so early in the morning and taking the subway?"

An Lele, holding an umbrella, looked at the Water Curtain Cave in front of her and wondered if this thing could still be opened.

"You ask me, who should I ask?" Alia opened the waterproof bag on her back and checked the things inside: "Let's go."

"If we ride a bike to the company, it only takes 20 minutes, but if we take the subway, it will take us half an hour to go around the whole way."

"What nonsense are you talking about? The company is closed for the day today. Didn't I inform everyone last night?"

"We have been notified - then we are not going to the company, where are we going?"

"Not going anywhere... Can you swim?"

"..." An Lele looked at the Water Curtain Cave - crossed out - the subway station entrance, then looked at Alia: "Miss, are you kidding me?"

Aaliyah just looked at her, saying nothing, pretending to be an expert.

An Lele's throat rolled: "Although I can swim, I have never tried swimming in the subway... No, is that what we should do?"

"Of course the fire department will come, and all rescue will come, but at this time, we need time."

"Miss, do you have any superpowers? Can you predict the future?"

"Look at this rain, do you need me to have super powers?"

An Lele looked at the heavy rain - and the people who were still busy walking in the heavy rain, and for no reason she had the illusion that the world was vast and life was insignificant.

"Why... doesn't everyone stay at home?"

"I need to eat." Alia went into the subway station and lifted the hood of her raincoat. "Besides, who would have thought it would rain so hard?"

"..."

Really no one thought of this?

An Lele looked at Alia's back, a little dazed, then she reacted and quickly put away her umbrella: "Wait for me!"

……

……

At 7:10 in the morning, Sunika was about to go to the company in a daze.

Her mother had gone back to her hometown to be with her father because she already had a job and was an adult and could no longer be a baby.

Although Sunika was a little reluctant, she gritted her teeth and agreed when she thought about the ten-yuan meal in the company cafeteria which was much more expensive than takeout.

My mom’s food tastes good, but I still want to try all eight major cuisines first…

Although the company issued a notice last night requiring all employees to take the day off at home, it even distributed emergency supplies for the typhoon season in advance.

But Sunika left her computer at the company. If she stayed at home for the next few days, she would be unable to do anything except play with her phone. For the sake of her part-time job in self-media, she had to grit her teeth and prepare to go back to the company in the heavy rain to bring back all her equipment.

Oh, if I had known yesterday, I would have gritted my teeth and carried it one more time. Really...

With such complaints, Sunika, who was half wet even with a large umbrella, was still thinking about something.

For example, should I wrap my laptop in a plastic bag to prevent it from getting wet in the heavy rain when I come back?

But just five minutes later, the train stopped and Sunika's thoughts were interrupted.

"what happened?"

"What happened?"

"Eh? Why did it stop? It hasn't reached its stop yet!"

During the morning rush hour, which was not very crowded, there were still many workers working in the rain. Everyone exchanged puzzled glances, not knowing what was going on.

The train broadcast sounded at this time, probably meaning that the train had a problem and had to stop temporarily.

Oh... a glitch...

Everyone has trust in this type of public transportation that runs on the ground and is reliable, and they don't feel much fear about it.
