She had to deal with the water pump and the toxic water filling the water tank. She needed to pump out all the water and remove it from the water tank. With the water sitting in there for so long and the water pump working to pull the water from the ground to the tank, the water was destined to turn toxic. She couldn’t use that water. First, they needed to remove the water pump before dealing with the water.
"What are you thinking, Boss Bai?" Xiao Wu saw Bai Meiyue standing in the garden while looking at the water tank, and turned to look at her with a hint of confusion in his eyes. What was Bai Meiyue doing, looking at the water tank in the middle of the garden?
"I am thinking of filling the water tank," replied Bai Meiyue. She turned to look at the man with her hands behind her back and said to him, "The number of people in our team has increased. We can no longer continue the old vat-to-vat transfer. If we do that, it will waste not only mine but their time as well. It is better to fill that big water tank, and then connect it with a new pump. That will connect to the main pipeline of this town."
"But where will we get a water pump that will be powerful enough to turn the water around in the water tank and then to the pipelines?" Xiao Wu was genuinely confused.
"I have it," Bai Meiyue thought of her barter system and lied through her teeth. Anyway, it couldn’t be said that she was lying, after all; with the barter system, did she really need to worry about anything?
When Xiao Wu heard Bai Meiyue’s response, he instinctively believed her because he had never seen Bai Meiyue promise something and then fail to do it.
He pursed his lips and then said to Bai Meiyue, "Then I will take you there, Boss. Let me just ask Master Lei—"
"I will be fine," said Bai Meiyue with an eyeroll. "If you tell Lei Qian, we will only waste our time. By the time I finish quarrelling with him, I will finish filling up the water tank and return home," she wasn’t even exaggerating. Lei Qian treated her as if she were made of porcelain; if not for the fact that she would hang him upside down, he would have tried to lock her up in a room.
That man knew that she would kill him if he tried to pull a stunt like that; that was the only reason why he didn’t bother to do it.
Xiao Wu went to retort, but then he calmed down and realised that what Bai Meiyue said was indeed the truth. Lei Qian was quite harsh on the rest of the team, but with Bai Meiyue, he was incapable of winning any arguments. In the end, after going to and fro, he would have to concede to whatever Bai Meiyue was saying.
At most, he would follow Bai Meiyue.
