Chapter 410: Town Factory Wastewater
Pei Jiaojiao held an umbrella and quickly slipped under the eaves.
Since her human identity was revealed, she no longer wears a veil or a raincoat.
It's just that the rain today is quite heavy.
Pei Jiaojiao felt a little itchy where she was wet by the rain, but she didn't pay much attention to it. She closed her umbrella and ran into the office.
The itching became worse and worse, so she lifted her sleeves and found that her hands were covered with dense and horrible red rashes.
Pei Jiaojiao took a breath of cool air.
She immediately took a photo and sent it to the group.
[Pei Jiaojiao: Manman, Qingqing! Look, what's going on? I was just caught in the rain, and so many things have grown on my body!]
At that time, Xiao Qing was preparing lessons.
In half a year, she had become the school's principal.
When she saw the message from Pei Jiaojiao, she suddenly stopped what she was doing.
She remembered that a few days ago, a student asked her for leave and had the same thing on his hand!
If there was anything different about that student from others, it was probably that his raincoat was accidentally scratched with a small hole.
Xiao Qing's breathing stagnated, and in a flash, she understood many things.
[Xiao Qing: I finally understand why everyone in this town wears raincoats and veils!]
[Li Juan: ? Isn’t it because paper figures are afraid of water? ]
[Xiao Qing: I thought so at first, but later I realized that when it first rained, they didn’t wear raincoats or veils, they just held an umbrella.]
[Xiao Qing: A few months later, a large number of people in the town died because of the rain, and then everyone started to go out fully armed.]
【Lin Man: Qingqing, do you mean that there is something wrong with the rain?】
[Xiao Qing: Yes, and as time goes by, the harm becomes greater. Haven't you noticed? The number of house collapses in the town has gone from once every two months to once every month.]
Pei Jiaojiao looked solemn.
It seems to be the case.
She was about to type a reply when there was a knock on the door.
She pulled her sleeves down, put her phone in her pocket, and stood up to open the door.
The person outside was actually Zhu Hao.
Zhu Hao smiled, "Jiao Jiao, later, you have to supervise with me."
“Let’s start preparing now.”
Pei Jiaojiao didn't say anything, just hummed.
Zhu Hao didn't leave either, but just sat down in her office, waiting for her to take action.
Pei Jiaojiao quickly packed up the materials and set off with Zhu Hao.
The driver drove more than ten kilometers to the suburbs.
It was the first time that Pei Jiaojiao saw such a large lake in a town without any water source.
The lake was pitch black and there was no end in sight.
The wind blew over, and a stench mixed with the smell of mud went straight into people's noses.
Pei Jiaojiao felt a sour taste in her stomach and found the smell nauseating.
Zhu Hao looked normal, seemingly unaffected by the smell.
He handed a mask to Pei Jiaojiao and said, "Put it on."
Pei Jiaojiao took it but didn't put it on immediately.
The smell of this lake water is somewhat familiar.
She seemed to have smelled it somewhere...
Where have you smelled it?
Something seemed to be about to break out of her mind, but at the critical moment her thoughts were in a mess, clues flashed through her mind quickly, and she had no time to catch them.
"Why don't you wear a mask? Didn't you just feel so uncomfortable?"
Zhu Hao's eyes fell on Pei Jiaojiao.
Pei Jiaojiao let out a breath, "It's so uncomfortable. I just wanted to take a break."
After saying that, she put on the mask.
Zhu Hao didn't say anything else, but brought up the project.
Zhu Hao owns several factories.
Pei Jiaojiao frowned, and finally remembered where she had smelled this familiar scent.
This is the smell of the rain that falls every day in the town.
When she first came into this world, the town would have a muddy smell after it rained.
But at that time, she didn't take it seriously.
But now, the rain not only smells of mud, but also has a faint stench of decay!
Seeing Zhu Hao's reaction, Pei Jiaojiao subconsciously tried to probe him a few times.
"If we are going to do construction, we have to avoid this lake. Otherwise, if we start construction nearby, the air here is like this, and there is no water source. It is easy for the workers to have health problems, and it will be very troublesome later."
Zhu Hao didn't even frown when he heard her say that.
"No, your worries are unnecessary."
Pei Jiaojiao remembered that everyone outside was calling Zhu Hao "the great philanthropist".
According to the townspeople, this man is a philanthropist who is indifferent to fame and fortune!
She smiled and said, "Are you going to fill up the lake? But the lake is so big that you can't see the end of it. It will take a lot of manpower and money to fill it up."
"The most important thing is that paper figurines are afraid of water. I'm afraid not many people are willing to take on this job."
Zhu Hao's eyes were a little helpless, Jiaojiao was really naive.
But it's true, she's a girl, so I can understand it.
He patted Pei Jiaojiao's shoulder and smiled dotingly, "Jiaojiao, you are so cute."
"This lake doesn't need to be filled. Normally, sewage from factories is discharged here. It's in the wilderness, so there's no need to worry about affecting the town's residents."
Pei Jiaojiao's mouth was twitching stiffly under the mask.
Help, why is he so oily!
This made her feel sick.
However, this lake is actually used to discharge sewage?
No wonder it was black. When the water was swirling in the wind, she felt like she could hear the cry of nature.
This rotten smell is really disgusting!
However——
Pei Jiaojiao rubbed her eyes. How could she see animal carcasses floating on the lake?
I don’t know how long it took, but the corpses all looked like giants!
She wanted to take another look, but Zhu Hao had already pulled her aside to talk about another project.
Pei Jiaojiao had no choice but to give up, as a subtle thought quickly flashed through her mind.
Zhu Hao told her something else.
For example, he often invested in schools, and he also founded a school for the elderly. He also built a zoo to shelter some wild animals.
Pei Jiaojiao didn't want to listen. She clapped her hands perfunctorily and said emotionlessly, "You're so awesome."
A faint smile appeared on Zhu Hao's lips.
“Since I have come to this world, I want to do something meaningful for this world.”
"It's just a pity that I don't have a female companion at the moment. Sometimes I feel lonely and there's no one to talk to."
"If there was someone by my side, I would definitely spoil her and make her the happiest woman in the world."
As he spoke, his eyes revealed an envious and sad look.
At first glance, it does seem a bit fragile, which makes people feel distressed.
Pei Jiaojiao: “…”
If you want a girlfriend, go find one.
What's the point of telling her?
She is not Nuwa, she can't create a girlfriend for him!
But since the other party was a leader after all, Pei Jiaojiao still comforted him with a few words.
"Mr. Zhu, it's okay. You're just not used to it yet. Once you get used to being alone, you'll find that there's nothing wrong with being alone."
Zhu Hao: “…”
This was not the answer he wanted to hear.
Pei Jiaojiao didn't care about all this. After she went back, she told Lin Man and the others what happened today.
The group was quiet for a long time.
[Xiao Qing: So, the places where several of us work are actually all companies under Zhu Hao?]
【Lin Man: That Zhu Hao is not a simple person, Jiaojiao, you better be careful.】
Pei Jiaojiao took these words to heart.
But what she didn't expect was that a few days later, Zhu Hao actually confessed his love to her.
