My dad, reviewing the design plans, pointed out the layout for the bathroom and wiring.
I emphasized to the foreman, "Don't flatten this area. Let's convert it into a biogas system."
I immediately understood that biogas can generate electricity.
So I quickly had the construction company dig out the corner of the first floor to build an enormous underground bunker to ensure ample storage space.
My dad hurriedly called the person in charge of the renovation company and transferred hundreds of thousands more.
He explained the new requirements and asked them to double the number of workers to speed up the completion.
With my dad's support, everything went twice as smoothly. By giving them enough money, we became their top client.
The more workers they sent, the faster the progress. They constructed the bunker, built greenhouses, and installed reinforced steel doors, missing nothing.
In a short time, the once dilapidated factory had undergone major changes.
The most notable was the bunker; all rooms could connect to the underground. Although we had already implemented three layers of external protection.
We still wanted to have more fallback options in case of emergencies.
One day, the foreman couldn't hold back anymore and asked us.
"Boss, this underground space could fit several buildings. Why does it need to be so big?"
My dad, quick on his feet, responded, "We're businesspeople. We're planning to expand in the future, so we're securing the space early."
The worker nodded, still a bit confused, and continued his work.
The construction was progressing smoothly.
So I showed my mom the procurement list. She frowned and crossed off my list, writing a new one.
The staples were changed to vacuum-packed rice and over a hundred pounds of flour. Compressed biscuits, canned goods, penicillin, medicine, and daily necessities were all purchased in bulk. She also added a lot of frozen chicken and pork and hundreds of freezers for cold storage.
"No, this isn't right. If there's no water and electricity later, we need to be fully prepared. Let's also buy some chicks and feed. Since it's a factory, there's plenty of space. We'll raise our own livestock!"
"Dad, Mom, thank you for trusting me! I'll be heading back soon, and don't tip off Jagger."
"Silly girl! Stay safe. Your mom and I will always have your back. Don't worry about the factory; we'll stay in touch."
After returning to the new home.
