Chapter 95 Engineering Project Job Fair

The two walked to the backyard of the machinery factory, went to the tractor, opened the door and got on. Li Yuzhu sat on the back bunk, and Dong Qing started the tractor and drove out of the machinery factory.

Upon reaching the intersection of Su Village Road, Li Yuzhu jumped off the tractor and said, "You go first; the car is fast and will catch up with you soon."

Dong Qing said okay, started the tractor, and drove towards the town.

Li Yuzhu walked into Su Village, went to her home to call Su Wei, and together they walked out of the house toward the bean product factory.

They walked into the bean product factory, went to the car, opened the door, got in, and Su Wei started the car and drove out of the factory.

Tractors and cars are really incomparable. Dong Qing hadn't gone halfway when Li Yuzhu's car caught up with him. Su Wei didn't overtake, but followed behind the tractor.

After driving to the town, Li Yuzhu and Su Wei drove to the porcelain factory to load goods, while Dong Qing, carrying two orders, drove a tractor to another porcelain factory to load goods. These two orders were from the nearest county or city, and they unloaded the goods from the trailer first upon arrival.

The two trucks were loaded until evening. Dongqing found two people at the porcelain factory to help him attach the trailer to the back of the truck, connect the brake air pipes, and turn on the power to the taillights of the trailer.

The truck is designed with sockets at the rear for easy connection; simply plug the plug and socket together to connect. The brake system also has interfaces, and this feature is included when ordering the truck.

Su Wei got into the car and stepped on the brake to test it. The taillights, brakes, turn signals, and hazard lights were all working properly.

Afterwards, Dongqing drove the tractor into the porcelain factory and parked the vehicle there. Whenever a trailer was needed, he would use the tractor to tow the trailer and load it with cargo. After loading, the cargo would be attached to the back of the truck, which was very convenient. Loading the truck and trailer at the same time also saved a lot of time.

After delivering the tractor, Dong Qing returned to the truck, got in, and asked, "Yu Zhu, do you need to go visit your parents? If so, we'll wait for you here."

"I'm not going. Every time I go home, my mother pressures me to get engaged to Sun Hao. It's so annoying!" Li Yuzhu paused for a moment and said, "We've been divorced for months and you haven't seen your son. Do you miss him?"

Dong Qing said, "How could I not miss my own son? But what can I do if your mother won't let me visit? Oh well, maybe I'll see him sometime in the future?"

The son lives with his maternal grandmother, and after the divorce, Dongqing finds it difficult to even see her son.

“Our son can walk and call me ‘Mama’ now, but it’s not possible today. I’ll take him back to the city to stay with you for a few days. I’m really worried that if he stays too long, he won’t recognize you as his father. Let’s go, let’s go back to the city for dinner.”

For the first time in months since the divorce, Li Yuzhu used the word "we" in front of Dong Qing. However, what she said was not wrong. Dong Yusheng is their biological son, and this has nothing to do with whether they are divorced or not.

Of course, two people would only say this if they still have feelings for each other; otherwise, it would be a different story. She even wouldn't let her ex-husband see their son. Isn't that how many couples are after divorce? They act like sworn enemies every day, never speaking to each other again.

After listening, Dong Qing nodded, and Su Wei started the engine, shifted gears, and drove towards the county town.

They returned to the county town and had dinner together at a restaurant.

After finishing their meal and leaving the restaurant, Li Yuzhu and Su Wei got into the car. Dong Qing stood outside and said, "Be careful on the road. After unloading, remember to bring back a truckload of soybeans, and load a trailer of soybean cakes in the back. The pig farm doesn't have many soybean cakes left."

The soybean product factory uses a lot of soybeans, and I'm afraid we'll have to haul soybeans home on every return trip in the future.

Soybeans aren't just for our own use. Merchants who grind soybeans in Sucun also frequently buy soybeans from soybean product factories. Their consumption is also quite large. It's hard to say who will buy soybeans and refuse to sell them, since we're doing business on someone else's turf.

The next day, after breakfast, Dongqing went into the company.

After a week, the company's recruitment of employees is nearing completion.

Dong Qing walked into the general manager's office. Gu Yurou was sitting at her desk working. She looked up and said, "The general manager is here. Please have a seat."

Gu Yurou stood up and walked to the sofa, where she and Dong Qing sat down opposite each other. Dong Qing asked, "How's the project bidding process going?"

Gu Yurou said, "Our project was tendered to a construction company in the provincial capital, and a job fair for the project is scheduled to be held at the hotel in about two weeks."

Gu Yurou is very efficient. The newly established company is different from the old company. It is in the initial stage and everything has to be done from scratch, such as company registration, business license application, project bidding, etc. These tasks all need to be handled by the manager personally.

Gu Yurou truly lived up to her reputation as a top student, managing all the company's affairs in an orderly and efficient manner. Her work style was decisive and efficient, and Dong Qing had no doubts about her work ethic.

After half a month, the company registration was completed, and Gu Yurou recruited all the department managers and employees. The company then embarked on a normal management path.

On Monday, the bidding meeting for the construction project of Yusheng Company was held at the hotel. Three construction companies were bidding, all of which were from the provincial capital.

The female host took the stage and said, "Good morning, leaders and guests. I am your host, Wanqiu, and I will be hosting this bidding conference. Now, please welcome Ms. Gu Yurou, manager of Yusheng Company, to present the future development prospects of Yusheng Company!"

Gu Yurou walked onto the stage amidst applause. After the applause subsided, she said, "I am Gu Yurou, the manager of Yusheng Company. Now, I will introduce the development prospects of my company."

Our company has purchased 1,000 mu of land in Sucun Village outside the county seat, planning to build a commercial complex. The first phase of the project will involve building a large-scale department store wholesale market covering 300 mu, a comprehensive office building, street-front shops, and an automobile manufacturing plant next to it.

The second phase of the project involves the construction of a large shopping mall with one basement level and five above-ground levels, covering a total construction area of ​​20,000 square meters. The total land area, including parking and the plaza in front of the mall, is 26,000 square meters. The construction schedule for the second phase is currently undetermined.

The third phase of the project involves building an automotive expo world; the construction schedule for the third phase is yet to be determined.

I hope people from all walks of life will give my company, Yusheng, strong support. That concludes my remarks.

Gu Yurou walked off the stage amidst applause.

The host, Wanqiu, stepped onto the stage and said, "Thank you for the presentation, Ms. Gu Yurou, General Manager of Yusheng Company. Now, please welcome the representative of Yulong Construction Company to speak."

The representative of Yulong Construction Company stepped onto the stage and said, "Good morning, leaders and guests."

Thank you to Yusheng Company for giving our company the opportunity to bid. I am the legal representative of Yulong Construction Company. Below, I will introduce our company's qualifications.

We are a long-established construction company with many years of experience. We have undertaken the construction of numerous residential communities and large shopping malls, and have more than 8,000 employees.

Our staff are highly qualified, technically skilled, and produce excellent quality work. We are a construction company integrating building and decoration. We hope our company will be successful in this bid. Thank you, that concludes my remarks.
