"Comrade Yang, Comrade Huo, it's great to see you again." Rong Shanjian greeted Yang Qiaoqiao with a smile as he walked into Beiqiao Construction Company.

Yang Qiaoqiao and Huo Beixiao were pleasantly surprised to see the newcomer. They stepped forward to shake hands with Rong Shanjian and said, "Mr. Rong, hello."

Rong Shanjian is the current head of the Rong family.

The Rong family is one of the few families in China that can be called a prestigious family.

Before the founding of the People's Republic of China, the Rong family was so wealthy that they could rival the wealth of a nation.

During the years when the country was in peril, the Rong family gave away all their wealth to help resist foreign enemies and support the revolution.

They were known as "red capitalists" during that period.

During the turmoil in the country a few years ago, the Rong family split into two branches: one branch remained in the country, while the other branch went abroad to avoid trouble.

The branch to which the Rongshan ship belongs is the branch of the Rong family that remained in China.

They were among the first to start doing business after the country opened up the market.

Under Rong Shanjian's leadership, the Rong family is now thriving and shows signs of restoring its former glory.

In her previous life, Yang Qiaoqiao also tried to establish a connection with the Rong family and seek cooperation.

However, they were consistently turned away by the Rong family.

She didn't understand why in her previous life, but after meeting Rong Shanjian at a trade fair and exchanging ideas with him, she understood.

Her business in her previous life was intricately connected with the Jiang and He families. Although the Jiang and He families appeared clean on the surface, they were involved in all sorts of dirty and filthy dealings behind the scenes.

The Rong family naturally wouldn't be interested in such a family or such a business.

Rong Shanjian glanced at the company's interior decoration, a look of satisfaction in his eyes.

"Comrade Huo, the decoration of your construction company is very stylish and high-quality, and looks very classy. Did you do the decoration yourself?" Rong Shanjian asked Huo Beixiao.

“Yes,” Huo Beixiao replied, and immediately gave Rong Shanjian a detailed introduction to their company’s design concept, decoration style and materials.

After listening, Rong Shan nodded in satisfaction.

"Comrade Huo, I also have a renovation job here, would you like to do it?"

A look of surprise flashed in Huo Beixiao's eyes, and he calmly replied, "Mr. Rong, please tell me what kind of project it is."

The Rong family has just invested in and built a five-star hotel in Haicheng.

We are now preparing to enter the renovation stage.

However, there is still a severe shortage of design talent in China, and Rong Shanjian always feels that the designs created by foreign designers lack the soul of China.

He wanted to incorporate some traditional Chinese cultural elements into the hotel's interior design to make the hotel more distinctively Chinese.

He believes this will also better promote Chinese culture to the world, allowing people to see the cultural treasures of China's five thousand years of history and showcase the grandeur of a great nation.

He noticed Yiren Clothing at a previous foreign trade fair because he discovered that Yiren Clothing incorporated many Chinese national characteristics and culture into its clothing.

After listening, Huo Beixiao replied, "Mr. Rong, we are confident that we can achieve satisfactory results in this business deal."

We can provide you with a design draft first. Once you've reviewed it and are satisfied, we can then sign a formal contract. What do you think?

Huo Beixiao's plan completely eliminated Rongshan's worries, so Rongshan naturally had no reason to refuse.

After agreeing, Huo Beixiao and Yang Qiaoqiao immediately went with Rong Shanjian to the newly built five-star hotel building of the Rong family.

The building is located on the banks of the Huangpu River.

Yang Qiaoqiao roughly estimated that the location of this five-star hotel, in a few years, would be right across the river from the Oriental Pearl Tower, Haicheng's future landmark building.

If this location is developed for a few more years, it will become incredibly valuable.

When Huo Beixiao first conceived the idea of ​​entering the real estate industry, he had already begun to study architectural design on his own.

Drawing an architectural design is no big deal for him.

While the two carefully examined the architectural design of the entire hotel, Huo Beixiao had already drawn up the architectural design drawings.

After promising to produce the blueprints for the Rongshan ship within three days, the two returned to the company.

Huo Beixiao will definitely be in charge of the overall design of the interior, while Yang Qiaoqiao will offer some suggestions on the details.

On their way back to the company, the two had a general discussion about the design style of the entire hotel.

As the two returned to the company while discussing their conversation, they were surprised to find that another person had arrived.

The newly hired receptionist is greeting the customer.

"Brother Yan, what brings you here?" Yang Qiaoqiao was also very surprised to see Yan Heqing.

Because Yan Heqing had already sent a flower basket and a banner to congratulate the opening. In addition to congratulating him, the person who sent the flower basket also apologized, saying that he had something else to do and could not come.

When Yan Heqing saw Huo Beixiao and Yang Qiaoqiao return, he asked impatiently, "Has Tong Xuejiao been here?"

Yang Qiaoqiao frowned slightly. "She hasn't been here. Is Sister Xuejiao missing?"

In the few months since they arrived in Haicheng, apart from the first month when they had more contact with Tong Xuejiao, they have been busy and have basically not contacted her at all.

When Yan Heqing asked this question, Yang Qiaoqiao calculated the time and realized that Tong Xuejiao was almost at her due date.

When Yan Heqing heard Yang Qiaoqiao say that Tong Xuejiao hadn't come, his brows furrowed tightly, and he slumped back onto the sofa as if deflated.

Yang Qiaoqiao looked at him and exchanged a glance with Huo Beixiao.

It seems that Tong Xuejiao has really run away again.

She's about to give birth, where could she go?

"Brother Yan, have you looked in various hospitals? Sister Xuejiao is due to give birth in the next couple of days, and it won't do for her to be without someone by her side right now," Yang Qiaoqiao said anxiously.

Yan Heqing rubbed his temples and said, "I have sent people to check all the major hospitals in Haicheng. I have now sent people to inquire at hospitals in the counties and towns under Haicheng."

"Have you checked the train station, airport, and bus station? And has her own car left Haicheng?" Huo Beixiao asked. "Did she go back to Sichuan Province?"

Yan Heqing shook his head. "None of them."

Yang Qiaoqiao had already dialed Tong Xuejiao's cell phone, and the call went through, but no one answered.

It's unclear whether Tong Xuejiao deliberately didn't answer, or if she was simply unable to answer the phone at that moment.

After confirming that no one would answer the phone, Yang Qiaoqiao felt increasingly uneasy.

Although Tong Xuejiao acts somewhat impulsively, she is not without sense of propriety.

How could she risk her life by running around like that when she was about to give birth?

"Brother Yan, tell me the truth, why did Sister Xuejiao choose to leave at this time?" Yang Qiaoqiao asked Yan Heqing.
