Super-rich: Spending money is just a job!

"So, the building behind your stall yesterday was your family's dye shop?" Xiaomeng chatted with the shop owner while eating braised pork rice noodles.

"Calling it a dyeing workshop isn't quite right. I'm the only one doing the dyeing work now, and most of the rooms in the courtyard are no longer needed. So a couple of years ago, my family converted those empty rooms into a dyeing-themed guesthouse."

"But because of sewage treatment issues, our guesthouse has been closed for several months." The owner's smile narrowed as she spoke about it.

"Because of sewage treatment? What's the reason? Isn't sewage transported to the sewage treatment plant by municipal pipelines? What does this have to do with you?" Xiaomeng was very puzzled.

The shop owner looked a little confused. "Municipal pipelines? Sewage treatment plant? We've never heard of these around here."

Xiaomeng thought that she might lack common sense, or that she might have been misled.

"We were only notified that our guesthouse had to close for rectification. Those people said we should spend money to build a sewage treatment system." The young woman who owned the guesthouse tried hard to recall what the people who came to shut it down said.

"You want me to build an independent sewage treatment system? That stuff isn't cheap, is it?" Xiaomeng recalled that there was a swimming pool circulation system in her backyard, which seemed to have cost over a million.

"Yes, it's very expensive. It costs a lot of money. I heard it's at least several hundred thousand," the shop manager said dejectedly.

"So, your family hasn't been able to open your guesthouse because you haven't been able to raise enough money?"

The shop owner nodded.

Xiaomeng still didn't quite understand why there wasn't a city sewage treatment system here. After all, it was a fairly well-known tourist destination.

She opened her phone and searched online for local sewage treatment plants, and found a high-tech submerged sewage treatment plant nearby.

Xiao Meng dialed the number for the sewage treatment plant found online, feeling a bit suspicious. She'd grown bolder lately and was now willing to call any contact number she found online.

Xiaomeng confirmed that the phone number was indeed connected to a sewage treatment plant near the ancient city, and that their factory was already in operation.

Xiaomeng asked directly why the sewage pipes for the guesthouses in the area where the shop owner lived were not connected.

The other party replied that it was probably because the renovation work on the municipal pipelines had not yet progressed to that area.

Xiaomeng then inquired about when the pipeline renovation work could be extended to the area where the shop owner lived.

The staff at the sewage treatment plant were unaware of this.

Xiaomeng ended the call and told the shop owner, "Your area will soon undergo a comprehensive municipal pipeline renovation, which will connect the sewage directly to the sewage treatment plant via a large pipeline."

After the pipeline renovation, you will only need to pay a monthly sewage treatment fee. You won't need to invest heavily in a separate sewage treatment system.

Although Xiaomeng didn't offer any specific help, the shop owner looked at her with eyes full of admiration, "Miss Lin, you're really amazing, how did you know to make this call?"

We don't know who to ask.

"Only equipment manufacturers have contacted us so far; no one has told us about any future municipal pipeline renovations."

Xiao Meng was quite happy to have helped the shop owner. Since she had gotten along so well with the shop owner, she decided to go all the way and do a good deed.

“The guesthouse we’re staying at isn’t far from here. It looks like it’s doing quite well. How about I go ask the owner how they’ve connected to the sewage treatment plant?”

The shop owner's eyes lit up even more, and she nodded repeatedly.
