After signing the engineering contract with Li Xiaoxia, Zhou Yuan drove back to his company and first convened a meeting with the company's cadres and key personnel.
It means that the company currently has two projects. The first is the municipal renovation project in the provincial capital, and the second is the construction of a dormitory building for a chemical plant.
The dormitory building of the key chemical plant not only has relatively high requirements, but also cannot have too many people going there, and they must be reliable people who cannot talk nonsense. They cannot walk around randomly when working inside and can only go to designated areas and activity ranges.
Because they are a confidential unit.
It is precisely because of this that Zhou Yuan had to go through so much trouble.
However, it was easier to find workers back then. As long as the salary was a little higher, there would be plenty of people willing to work, so it was not difficult to choose reliable ones.
To be on the safe side, he personally led the team, handled the work at the chemical plant, and supervised it.
Because of this, he had to go to the chemical plant every day to deal with the leaders in charge of engineering and construction and the person in charge of Party A.
The person in charge of engineering construction was Li Xiaoxia, so he had to meet with Li Xiaoxia every day.
After meeting her more often, I found that Li Xiaoxia is not particularly good-looking, but she is not particularly ugly either. She can only be considered average, above average.
However, they sit in the office every day and rarely get sun exposure, so their skin looks particularly white and tender, so tender that it seems to be hydrated.
In addition to her good skin, Li Xiaoxia is also of good height and has some firmer features. Overall, she is still very attractive.
Especially for men.
Zhou Yuan has been running around in the martial arts world every day in recent years. Liu Xiaofang, Liu Xiaopan and Li Yue'er are all considered beauties, so he is not someone who has never seen beautiful women.
Every time I meet Li Xiaoxia, I can remain calm. I greet her and then talk about things, which are basically engineering matters. I don't want to say much about other things.
Li Xiaoxia obviously doesn't want to talk about work every day, and doesn't want to face someone coldly.
So after work, I often changed the topic, even deliberately jokingly saying, "Zhou Yuan, I find you so boring. When you're with me every day, is there nothing else to talk about besides work?"
"Yes, but I don't know what to say. You're the leader and I need to curry your favor, so other than saying some flattering words, I really don't know what to say."
Zhou Yuan's words were actually a joke.
Li Xiaoxia rolled her eyes at someone, changing her usual cold attitude and saying with a blush on her face:
"How about you treat me to dinner tonight, and then treat me to a movie. You said I'm your leader, so shouldn't you be nicer to your leader?
Do you still want to continue working in engineering?"
"Of course I do, and I want to give you a gift, but I don't know what you need.
Besides, I was afraid you would accuse me of bribing you, so I never dared to take it out."
Zhou Yuan had actually prepared a gold ring. Gold rings back then were still very attractive to girls.
But when he was ready, he couldn't find the right time to take it out, so he kept kicking it into his bag.
This time, someone actually took the initiative to bring it up, and since there was no one around, he quickly unzipped the bag and took it out. He opened the exquisite box, revealing the golden ring, and smiled.
"Look at what this is? Do you like it? If you like it, I'll put it on for you, okay?"
"You can bring it. Can I take it that you are proposing to me?"
Li Xiaoxia's playful words scared Zhou Yuan so much that he quickly closed the box and handed it to Li Xiaoxia, saying it a little embarrassedly.
"Don't get me wrong, I'm not proposing to you. I just bought a random gift. Even if it's just a gift I gave it to you to please you."
Zhou Yuan passed by the provincial capital department store that day, went in for a browse, and then bought a ring.
At that time, he thought girls would definitely like it, but he didn't think too much about it.
Now after hearing what Li Xiaoxia said, she remembered that there are some rules to giving rings to girls and you can't just give them casually.
So he felt a little regretful, thinking that this gift might have been a bad one and he should have bought something else, such as earrings or a necklace.
But if you think about this kind of thing carefully, it's hard to explain if people are thinking about it in an ambiguous way, right?
So being a human being is sometimes just so difficult.
How could Zhou Yuan possibly propose to a sister of Li Xiaoxia's level?
Although she looks okay, has background and status, it is precisely because of this that Zhou Yuan will not.
The main reason is that he is not worthy of her, and he is not the kind of person who likes to climb up the social ladder.
Li Xiaoxia is at least three years older than him. Although a woman who is three years older than a man is more likely to embrace gold bricks, what he wants to embrace now is not gold bricks, but a mountain of gold.
Zhou Yuan stuffed the ring into someone's hand, thinking that the person would accept it.
Li Xiaoxia pushed it back with a whoosh, saying somewhat unhappily, "I won't accept anything that comes without a reason or explanation. Since you're not proposing, take it back. I don't need anyone to curry favor with me."
After saying that, he clapped his hands and went straight forward.
The main project was in front of them, and there were many people there. Even if Zhou Yuan caught up with them, he wouldn't dare say anything.
So I could only sigh, put the ring away, and then go back to my work.
As for inviting someone to dinner or a movie in the evening, he felt that nothing had been decided yet, so he didn't take it to heart.
When he finished work in the evening, he washed his hands and was about to go back to the cafeteria to eat. Li Xiaoxia waved to him from a distance and asked him to come over.
What happened when Zhou Yuan ran over happily and asked his leader what he wanted to do?
Li Xiaoxia rolled her eyes and said, "Didn't you promise to treat me to dinner and a movie? You forgot!"
