Being a Lady of an Influential Family

At the end of June, the weather in Yongcheng is still hot.

After a sudden night of heavy rain, the temperature seems to have dropped a few points, but it is still sweltering as before. Leng Sa sat in front of the window of the study and looked at the rain curtain under the eaves outside. The mist brought up by the strong wind faintly fell on his face, making him a little more awake in the sweltering heat.

It has been raining heavily for a day and a night, and it has no intention of stopping. On the couch in the center of the room behind her, Little Stone was babbling and talking to himself.

Shui Lian sat beside her and looked at the little guy who was enjoying herself, and then looked at Leng Sa who was sitting by the window and said with concern, Young Madam, don't get caught in the rain.

The wind and the rain are a bit evil, the heavy rain is mixed with the strong wind, and the walls of the corridor under the eaves outside are all wet, and the young lady sitting by the window will also be sprayed with water mist.

Leng Sa turned back and pulled down the beaded curtain of the window, and said with a smile, It's still raining heavily, it seems that you won't be able to go back today.

Shui Lian didn't care, and said with a smile, Anyway, I can't go out to work these two days, I don't go anywhere, I just stay here to eat and drink, and I can still see the young master. She came here before it rained at noon yesterday Reporting to the Young Madam, he originally thought that the summer rain would come and go quickly, but who knew it would get heavier and heavier, so he had to stay at Fu's house for one night.

Shui Lian looked at Leng Sa, Young Madam, are you worried about something?

Leng Sa sighed softly, stood up and walked towards the center of the room, I don't know what's going on in Jiazhou. I don't know if it's the sweltering weather or some other reason, it always makes her feel Some impetuous.

Shui Lian breathed a sigh of relief, It turns out that Young Madam is worried about Young Master.

Leng Sa smiled and didn't say much, sat down and clapped her hands towards Xiaoshi.

Xiao Shitou was immediately attracted by his mother, he yelled and stretched out his little hand towards Leng Sa.

Leng Sa laughed and picked him up, the weather was too hot for a child to bear, so he could only wear thin clothes, with his white and tender limbs exposed.

As soon as he held it in his hands, the baby's smooth and tender touch made people involuntarily lower his strength, as if he was afraid that a little strength would hurt him.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. Xiao Shitou happily shouted to his mother.

Leng Sa chuckled and said, Call me Mom.

Yeah. Leng Sa pinched his little face helplessly, when there was a sudden light outside, Leng Sa immediately reached out and covered the little guy's ears.

The next moment, there was rumbling thunder in the sky. Little Shitou was not at all courageous. Last night, he slept soundly during the whole night of lightning and thunder. Even when he woke up, he was not frightened and cried.

After a while, the rumbling thunder disappeared.

Shui Lian's face turned pale and said authentically, Young master is so calm at such a young age. Every time I am frightened by lightning and thunder.

Leng Sa smiled and said, He's still young, so he doesn't know what it means to be afraid. But it is indeed quite stable.

Young madam, the warlord is here. Yuan Ying came to report outside the door.

Leng Sa was a little surprised, What is the warlord doing here at this time? He quickly stood up holding the small stone, and said to the outside: Please go to the study next to the warlord.

Fu Fengcheng's study room is separated from here by a wall, and Leng Sa directly carried the child and passed through the connected doorway. Shui Lian was also worried that she overheard the secrets discussed by the warlord and the young lady, so she simply went out to find Lan Jing and Yuan Ying to play with.

The rain was too heavy to hold an umbrella, and Governor Fu came here wearing a raincoat.

Standing at the door, he took off his raincoat and dusted off the water stains on his body before entering the study.

Why is the warlord here at this time? If there is something to ask, just let someone come over and talk about it. Leng Sa said.

Dujun Fu waved his hand, and saw that the tense face of Xiao Shitou, who was awake in Leng Sa's arms, eased a little, and he stretched out his hand to hug Xiao Shitou.

Leng Sa didn't refuse and handed it to him directly. Although Governor Fu looked like a rough man, he was already very skilled in holding the child. Little Shitou didn't look uncomfortable being held by him, and he happily patted Governor Fu's face with his little hand.

Governor Fu was not angry either, he just smiled and said, This kid is much stronger now.

Leng Sa smiled and said, That's right, sometimes it's hard to break free when he grabs you. It's no wonder you don't slap your face red in a few months.

The two sat down, and Leng Sa poured a cup of tea for Governor Fu before asking, What's the matter with the Governor? Such a heavy rain came here just to hug my grandson.

Governor Fu immediately remembered the purpose of his visit, and said in a deep voice, I have something to do.

Leng Sa had an intuition that what Governor Fu was about to say would not be very good, and said solemnly, Yes... what happened to Young Master?

Governor Fu said in a deep voice, I also just got the news that the rain on Jiazhou's side was earlier than ours, causing the Qishui in Jiazhou to surge and divert. Yesterday, the upper reaches of the Qishui broke the embankment and directly flooded Songcheng .”

Leng Sa's hand holding the teacup trembled slightly, and the water in the teacup splashed onto the table.

After a moment of silence, Leng Sa put the teacup back on the table, Then... how are Fu Fengcheng and the others doing?

Governor Fu shook his head and said, I don't know. Zhang Tong sent news that the communication with the boss was cut off. Now he is sending people to Songcheng to check the situation.

Leng Sa said, Father, I'm going to Jiazhou.

Nonsense! Fu Dujun said in a deep voice, I'm here to tell you about this, just to let you know in advance, so as not to panic when you suddenly know the situation. This news will not be announced to the public for the time being, and you should not tell anyone Say.

Leng Sa frowned, Then what about Fu Fengcheng?

Governor Fu looked at her and said, You don't believe him? I believe in my son, unless he really recites... otherwise he won't let himself have trouble. What we have to do is to stabilize Nanliu Province, as long as Nanliu The province is fine, no matter what happens in Jiazhou, it will be easy to deal with. Do you understand?

Leng Sa remained silent.

Governor Fu sighed softly, patted the little stone in his arms who was looking at him with wide eyes, and said softly, Even if you don't think about yourself, think about little stone. No matter what is going on in Jiazhou right now, It must be a mess. You have never seen what it looks like when there is a real catastrophe. You don’t understand the situation, so you ran over rashly. What if something happens, what will Xiaoshi do?”

Leng Sa looked up at Governor Fu and said, But Dad, you were going to send someone to Jiazhou to help, right?

Governor Fu said, I sent people to guard against that shameless Ren Nanyan. The old man will not care about floods or not when he is about to die. It is impossible to guarantee that he will not take advantage of the fire! Do you know how to fight?

Leng Sa is silent, she won't.

Governor Fu said, Be at ease. If you can't get in touch with the boss right now, most of the communicators are broken. Those new gadgets are unreliable in the first place. If you don't drop them, don't get hot, don't get cold, don't move around, they will break. Wait until things are repaired. , he will naturally contact the family.

Leng Sa nodded and said, I understand, Dad, don't worry.

Only then was Governor Fu satisfied, nodded and said, That's all. No matter what messed up news spreads outside, as long as it's not confirmed by us, you can treat it as nonsense. You have to be steady at this time.

Leng Sa nodded again, and Governor Fu returned the small stone to her, got up and left in a hurry.

Obviously, even though it was pouring rain, Governor Fu was still very busy. If it wasn't for the fear that Leng Sa would be confused when he heard the news because he was too young, he probably wouldn't have come here in person.

Watching Governor Fu's figure quickly disappear outside the door, Leng Sa held Xiao Shitou in her arms and gently pressed her face against his tender face, Don't be afraid, it's fine.

Ahhh. Xiaoshi yelled while clutching one of her fingers.

Leng Sa smiled and said, You also think Dad will be fine, don't you?

what.

Well, I knew that Xiao Shitou and his mother had a good heart. How can a little thing be difficult for our father Shitou?

The heavy rain in Yongcheng finally stopped that night. Although it only rained for more than a day, the total rainfall has exceeded the sum of the past few months. Even the Governor's Mansion has an excellent drainage system, and the rainwater that accumulates for a while can't be drained cleanly. The servants reported that many houses were flooded directly, let alone the outside of the Fu family.

What worries Leng Sa even more is that there is still no news from Jiazhou.

Not only Jiazhou, but the range of the heavy rain this time is quite wide, and almost all parts of the south are within this range. Communications and transportation in many places have come to a standstill, but the situation in Yongcheng is not bad in comparison.

When the site was selected for the factory, the problems that might occur near the branch of the Lingjiang River in Yongcheng were considered. The higher terrain did not cause any major problems. Moreover, almost all the houses there were newly built in the past two years, and there were no water leaks. How about the rain. In the study, Zhang Jingzhi was sitting across from Leng Sa and reporting things to her, and Shui Lian and Wei Ran were sitting not far away with a notebook and a pen to make some notes from time to time.

It's just that this time the heavy rain has washed away many roads outside the city. The roads outside the city are not very good in themselves, and it is even more so now... Large vehicles are almost impassable now. Daily necessities outside the city can only be sent by small vehicles and manpower. Delivery. Zhang Jingzhi stopped here and looked at Leng Sa with some doubts, he could clearly feel Leng Sa's absent-mindedness.

Leng Sa noticed that Zhang Jingzhi's voice had stopped, and then she blinked slightly and said, Well, I understand. Let's organize people to repair the problematic section as soon as possible.

Zhang Jingzhi lowered his eyes and said, This is already being done, but it can only last for a while after all. There are more and more factories outside the city, and water circuits will become a big problem sooner or later. The most important thing at present is the road. The few small roads outside the city , now it is almost more congested than the city center every day, if it is not resolved, the industrial area may be directly affected.”

Leng Sa nodded and said, We originally planned to repair the road first and send it to the Department of Transportation and Construction for a report. You need to be urged.

Zhang Jingzhi said with a smile, It's not that they deliberately procrastinate because they want to build a road, but I'm afraid they have more energy than they want. I've been there twice, and just sat down there and complained to me that they don't have money.

Leng Sa said, We can't really rely entirely on ourselves. They don't want to pull anything out, right? Whose is it that Lu Xiu came out in the end? I'll go talk to the warlord later.

Zhang Jingzhi nodded and said, It's best to do it as soon as possible. Not only is road construction imminent, but in a few days, there may be many homeless refugees from other places in Yongcheng. If these people are not controlled, there will be big problems.

Leng Sa sighed, raised her hand and rubbed her brows, and said, I see, the Overseer must know it too.

The disaster in the six southern provinces this time is not serious, but it can be expected that people affected by disasters from other places will flood into the six southern provinces soon. If these people don't care, they will definitely cause big trouble.

Zhang Jingzhi nodded silently, Although the weather in the six southern provinces has been good in the past two years, the relief of refugees can only be managed for a while. After a long time, the six southern provinces will not be able to support them no matter how rich they are. We really need to make plans early.

What's Jingzhi thinking? Leng Sa asked.

Zhang Jingzhi smiled and said, Young Madam, I am a businessman now.

Leng Sa didn't take it seriously, Businessmen can also have ideas, and they won't lose a piece of meat if they talk about it. Let's brainstorm and solve problems faster.

Zhang Jingzhi sighed lightly, I need time to think about it.

Leng Sa smiled and said, Thanks for your hard work, Zhang Shao, I am always here for advice.

Zhang Jingzhi pinched the center of her brows helplessly, put the glasses back on again, and sighed, I have nothing to do, I'll go back first.

Go slowly. Leng Sa nodded, Zhang Jingzhi stood up to look at her but did not leave, Leng Sa raised her head in confusion and asked, Is there something else, Young Master Zhang?

Zhang Jingzhi asked, Is Young Madam unwell? I think you have been distracted just now.

Leng Sa shook her head, apologetic, No, it's probably because there are too many things to do in the past two days and I haven't had a rest.

Zhang Jingzhi quickly accepted the reason, It's important for the young lady to rest well, so I'll take my leave first.

Leng Sa didn't speak any more, and watched Zhang Jingzhi go out with a calm expression.
