Le Wu put down her phone, feeling very heavy-hearted.
To distract herself, Yuewu thought of the cars on the overpass; their fuel tanks were full of fuel.
Because the villa complex was initially enclosed within its own boundaries, all water and electricity were supplied via tunnels.
However, there is a main switch inside the tunnel, which can be controlled by the music and dance.
There's been no sun these days, so we've been using generators the whole time, which is consuming a lot of fuel.
Previously, Yue Wu would fill up about ten barrels of gas for the car and then pump it out. Feng Xuanlang saw this when they came back, so it makes sense that they have electricity now.
But the torrential rain continued, and according to Xiao Le's memory, there were at least ten more days left. So the music and dance could not be provided in unlimited quantities; they needed to know that the oil was running out.
So, Yue Wu went to find Feng Xuanlang again.
At this moment, Feng Xuanlang still hadn't figured out whether Yue Wu's question of "do you like it or not" when she delivered the gift in the morning had any deeper meaning. The fact that she came to see him again in the afternoon must mean what he was thinking.
Feng Xuanlang suddenly became confident in himself, and couldn't help but smile.
When Yue Wu saw this, she felt that Feng Xuanlang had taken the wrong medicine and in her heart she was calling for him to return to the steady, thoughtful, and resolute young man she knew.
Before Feng Xuanlang could spout nonsense, Yue Wu clarified her purpose for coming here: to say, "We're almost out of fuel."
Feng Xuanlang: "..."
He couldn't quite describe the feeling. Feng Xuanlang had been so conflicted these past few days that he was almost obsessed. Just now, Le Wu's serious words had brought him back to reality; he had been overthinking things.
Realizing he had misunderstood, Feng Xuanlang quickly composed himself and got down to business.
Yuewu: "Judging from the weather, the heavy rain won't stop anytime soon, but the diesel I collected last time is almost gone, so we have to stock up on some more."
Feng Xuanlang turned into a room and brought out two buckets. Judging from the music and dance, it was clear that Feng Xuanlang had prepared them in advance.
He then brought out another ten or so buckets, which surprised Yue Wu. She was really surprised that Feng Xuanlang would prepare so many.
Feng Xuanlang: "I'll move these over for you in a bit. Use them for now. I'll discuss with my older brother and the others about getting some more. It's better to have more on hand than nothing."
Hearing this, Yuewu was relieved to know that he was able to plan ahead.
Then Yuewu told him her plan: to collect oil from the overpass. There were so many cars stuck there, and she had an oil pump, so collecting ten or so barrels wouldn't be a problem.
The two quickly reached an agreement. Feng Xuanlang called his older brother and the others, and they set off with oil drums, ropes, and a drone.
They didn't have the music and dance performances; in their words, that's a man's job, and young ladies shouldn't always get caught in the rain, as it's bad for their health.
Let them do the music and dance; hopefully, the drone can solve the problem of securing the ropes.
On the other side, Ji Ye and Wu Xunrui had a conflict.
The reason is that Wu Xunrui has been diagnosing many people through video in the past few days. Some people have very simple symptoms, but because they don't have the medicine, they can't get timely treatment, and their condition eventually worsens or they even die.
This was unacceptable to Wu Xunrui, a doctor. He couldn't just stand by and watch these people struggle in pain, so he wanted to help them through his own efforts.
Ji Ye did not agree with Wu Xunrui's idea. He felt that it was playing with fire. If they wanted to help, they could donate the medicine to the government and have it distributed by the government, which would be more reliable.
Wu Xunrui retorted, "They have been waiting for too long. The authorities are currently focused on disaster relief and cannot attend to their needs, which is why I wanted to do it myself."
Ji Ye still objected, and Wu Xunrui was at a loss for what to do.
When he saw his university professor, Wu Xunrui decided to take action after seeing the professor's pale face and desperate pleas.
He may not be able to help as many people, but at least he can help his mentor through this difficult time.
In the end, he managed to deliver the medicine by operating a drone.
The teacher was very grateful to Wu Xunrui, and Wu Xunrui also felt that he had done something very meaningful.
He even smugly boasted to Ji Ye that he could also save people in this way.
Not long after, a video went viral online: "A drone delivers medicine to save lives, long live Wu's Pharmaceutical!"
People online tagged Wu's Pharmaceutical Company seeking medicine, and some who knew Wu Xunrui directly tagged him and left messages. In no time, everyone knew that Wu Xunrui was a doctor and that Wu's Pharmaceutical Company belonged to his family.
Every comment was incredibly pitiful, as if they were saying, "If you don't give it to me, I'll die."
Seeing that the situation was getting out of control, Wu Xunrui's expression changed completely.
He never expected that his momentary leniency would have such a huge impact.
Later, the teacher sent him a message to apologize, saying that the younger generation wanted to thank him after learning that he was the one who gave them the medicine, and also wanted to help promote Wu's Pharmaceutical. Unexpectedly, this pushed Wu's Pharmaceutical into the eye of the storm.
Wu Xunrui did not reply to the teacher; he didn't know how to reply.
However, things were getting even more chaotic. Someone vandalized Wu's Pharmacy, a subsidiary of Wu's Pharmaceutical, claiming that they were worried Mr. Wu was too busy and that they would take what they wanted, thanking Mr. Wu for his generosity!
At this moment, none of the Wu family members could come out to refute the claims, so the public relations department could only propose several solutions and await Wu Xunrui's decision.
Looking at Wu Xunrui's worried face, Ji Ye analyzed, "You said you didn't intend to donate the medicine, but that ruins the reputation that the Wu family has built up over the years. People will say that you are only interested in profit and do not have the responsibility of a large enterprise. It also insults the original intention of the word 'pharmaceutical'."
If you remain silent, it will embolden more and more people to act recklessly. What might start as an emergency measure could later become driven by novelty and venting. Don't overestimate human nature during difficult times.
