Double evil in the business district

The biting cold wind blew up dust and raged across the construction site. Xiao Yue wrapped his coat tightly around him, his brows furrowed.

Looking around, the huge construction site is like a sleeping giant, with a few excavators operating sporadically, lifeless.

Four months, only four months to complete this environmental protection project, which now seems like a fantasy.

The heavy pressure pressed on her chest like a huge rock, making it almost impossible for her to breathe.

"Engineer Zhao, what technical difficulties have we encountered?" Xiao Yue found Engineer Zhao, the technical backbone of the project, and spoke anxiously.

Engineer Zhao pushed his glasses up on his nose, a look of worry on his face. "Mr. Xiao, it's not that we're not working hard, but it's really hard to meet environmental standards with our current level of technology. Pollutant emissions remain stubbornly high. We've tried everything, but with little success." He pointed to the chimney belching black smoke in the distance, his tone filled with frustration. "It's like a stubborn patient. We can't find the right treatment."

Xiao Yue's heart sank.

The technical bottleneck was more difficult than she had imagined.

The confrontation between humans and technology has always been a difficult game.

Xiao Yue was not intimidated by the difficulties.

If there are technical difficulties, then we will face them head-on.

She returned to the office and immediately called together all the technical staff, including the young technician Chen, and asked them to sort out all the relevant technical information without missing any details.

For several days and nights, the office lights were on all night long, and the air was filled with the strong smell of coffee.

Xiao Yue took the lead and led the team members to sort out, analyze and compare one by one.

Fatigue came like a tide, but she dared not slack off at all.

The future of the Xiao family and the success or failure of this project all rest on her shoulders.

Finally, when flipping through a pile of old materials that were almost forgotten, Technician Chen exclaimed in surprise: "Mr. Xiao, look at this!" It was an experimental report from a few years ago, recording a new method of pollutant treatment that had been shelved due to high costs.

Xiao Yue took the report, read it carefully, and his eyes became brighter and brighter.

"The cost is high, we can find a way to reduce it! Technician Chen, immediately organize personnel to conduct a feasibility analysis on this plan!" The flame of hope rekindled in Xiao Yue's heart.

Late at night, Xiao Yue dragged his tired body back home.

In the empty room, only the moonlight shines through the curtains, casting a cool glow.

The enormous pressure made her feel suffocated.

Just then, the door opened and Shen Ting walked in.

He walked behind Xiao Yue without saying a word, hugged her gently, and stroked her hair gently with his warm big hands.

"I know you are tired." Shen Ting's voice was low and magnetic, sounding in her ears, like a warm current, slowly flowing into her heart.

"Don't worry, I will face it with you." The familiar masculine scent surrounded her. Xiao Yue leaned in his arms, smelling the reassuring scent on him, and her tense nerves finally relaxed.

She closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and felt the rare tranquility and warmth.

After a long time, Xiao Yue raised his head, with a determined light flashing in his eyes.

"Tomorrow, I'm going to see President Sun..."

With a glimmer of hope and rekindled fighting spirit, Xiao Yue went to the bank early the next morning to meet President Sun.

She carefully prepared a new plan, hoping to persuade President Sun to provide additional loans.

"President Sun, I know there were some problems with the previous plan, but we have found a new technological breakthrough that can effectively reduce pollutant emissions, and the cost has also been controlled." Xiao Yue handed the plan to President Sun with a firm and confident tone.

President Sun looked through the plan, his expression still solemn.

"Mr. Xiao, you know how risky environmental projects are these days. Our bank is also responsible for our depositors' funds." He placed the proposal on the table, his tone hinting at rejection. "I'm sorry, but I have difficulty approving an additional loan."

Xiao Yue was not discouraged. She had long expected that President Sun would not give in easily.

"President Sun, you might want to take another closer look at this plan. It's not just an environmental protection project, but also a business opportunity with huge potential. Once the project is successful, the economic benefits it will bring will be immeasurable, and your bank will be one of the biggest beneficiaries." She analyzed the project's advantages and future development prospects in a clear and orderly manner, her tone full of confidence and passion, as if she was not describing a risky environmental protection project, but a gold mine that was about to take off.

As President Sun listened to Xiao Yue's statement, his expression gradually relaxed.

He picked up the plan and read it carefully again, with a hint of hesitation in his eyes.

"Mr. Xiao, your proposal is indeed very attractive, but I still need time to consider it."

Although this was not a direct agreement, it was already a small victory for Xiao Yue.

She stood up and politely said goodbye to President Sun, her heart full of hope.

However, before the good news could be digested, new challenges arose.

As soon as Xiao Yue returned to the project site, he saw Environmentalist Li walking towards him with a serious expression.

"Boss Xiao, we just received a notice from our superiors that environmental standards need to be adjusted," said Environmentalist Li, handing Xiao Yue a document. "Here's the new list of requirements..."
