The shadow of heavy rain enveloped the entire village, and the air was filled with tension.

Shen Qiqi was extremely anxious and trotted all the way to the water conservancy project site.

At the construction site, some villagers were reinforcing the embankment, while others were clearing the drainage ditches. It was a busy scene.

"Qiqi, you're here!" Lu Qing saw Shen Qiqi and hurriedly came forward, "The rain came suddenly, we have to get ready quickly."

Shen Qiqi nodded, her brow furrowed as she scanned the entire construction site.

She keenly discovered that although everyone was busy, the defense measures in many places were not perfect enough. Once heavy rain hit, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"Captain Wang, we have to quickly reinforce the embankment here. I think the soil is a bit soft and I'm afraid it can't withstand the erosion of heavy rain." Shen Qiqi pointed to a section of the embankment and said anxiously.

Captain Wang walked over slowly and waved his hand dismissively, "Ah, Qiqi, you're just too nervous. Can this little rain really destroy the dam? Our project was built according to standards, it's very solid!"

When Shen Qiqi heard this, she became even more anxious: "Captain Wang, this is no joke. The weather station has predicted that this rainstorm will be very serious. We have to be prepared!"

Captain Wang was a little impatient: "Alright, alright, I got it. I'll arrange for someone to take a look. What do you, a woman, know about water conservancy projects? Stop worrying about it!"

Shen Qiqi took a deep breath and tried hard to suppress the anger in her heart.

She knew that arguing with Captain Wang would be futile, so she could only find a solution on her own.

"Lu Qing, go find some people to reinforce the embankment here. I'll go check on the drainage ditch." Shen Qiqi ordered decisively.

Without saying a word, Lu Qing immediately gathered some villagers and began to reinforce the dam.

Shen Qiqi patrolled along the drainage ditch, carefully checking every detail.

Suddenly, she discovered that a section of the drainage ditch was blocked. If heavy rain came, water would definitely accumulate here, and it might even cause the dam to collapse.

"Not good!" Shen Qiqi exclaimed, and quickly called out to the nearby villagers, "Come and help, this place is blocked!"

The villagers began to work together to clear the blockage. As time passed, the sky became increasingly gloomy, and a rainstorm was about to come.

At this moment, Captain Wang walked over slowly and saw Shen Qiqi directing the villagers to clean the drainage ditch. There was a hint of sarcasm in his tone: "Hey, Qiqi, do you really think you are the chief engineer? This drainage ditch is fine, why are you cleaning it?"

Shen Qiqi ignored Captain Wang's sarcasm.

"Lu Qing, hurry up! The rain is coming!" Shen Qiqi shouted.

Lu Qing and the villagers quickened their pace, their clothes soaked with sweat, but they did not slack off at all, because they knew that this rainstorm was related to the safety of the entire village.

In the sky, a flash of lightning streaked across the night sky, and then, raindrops as big as beans poured down...

“Qiqi…” Lu Qing grabbed Shen Qiqi’s arm, his tone solemn.

Heavy rain poured down, and the raindrops hit the construction site densely, instantly covering everything in a mist.

Shen Qiqi's heart suddenly tightened. The rain was even heavier than expected!

If the project was destroyed, all previous efforts would be in vain. She clenched her fists so tightly that her nails almost dug into her flesh.

Lu Qing stood beside her, feeling her tense emotions, and covered her cold hand with his big hand, firmly holding it back, "Don't be afraid, Qiqi, we will definitely get through this!" Lu Qing's eyes were like a magic needle that stabilized the sea, giving Shen Qiqi great strength.

Captain Wang was also panicked. He didn't expect the rain to be so fierce. His previous indifference turned into deep worry, and the expression on his face was uglier than eating bitter melon.

He paced back and forth anxiously on the construction site, muttering to himself, "What should I do? What should I do?"

Technician Zhao hid in the corner and trembled. The fact that he had stolen Shen Qiqi's plan before was like a huge rock pressing on his heart, making him breathless.

If anything goes wrong with the project, he will be in big trouble!

Accountant Li hid in the shed, holding the box containing the project funds tightly, for fear that it would get wet in the rain.

His stingy look made the surrounding villagers roll their eyes. It was such a time, and he was still thinking about money!

Grandpa Sun stood on a high place with the help of a cane, watching all this with worry.

Although he didn't quite believe Shen Qiqi, he was silently praying at this moment that the project could survive this rainstorm safely.

Widow Zhang hid at home, thinking with glee that if the project was ruined, Shen Qiqi would have no face to stay in the village!

The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and the construction site had become a swamp.

Shen Qiqi took a deep breath and tried to keep herself calm.

She knew that now was not the time to panic and she had to come up with a solution as soon as possible!

She looked around and her eyes fell on a pile of sandbags not far away...

"Lu Qing!" Shen Qiqi turned around abruptly, her tone hurried and firm.

"Lu Qing! Quick, take people to move sandbags over to block the weak links of the dam!" Shen Qiqi pointed at several dangerous places and shouted in a loud voice.

Lu Qing took action immediately, leading several strong villagers to carry sandbags to the designated location in the pouring rain.

"This way! This side needs reinforcement too!" Shen Qiqi rushed back and forth in the rain, giving orders with confidence.

Her calm mind and decisive decision-making gave the originally panicked villagers a backbone and made them full of energy.

Captain Wang was stunned watching from the side. He didn't expect that this seemingly weak woman could be so courageous!
