After eating breakfast, paying the bill, and saying goodbye to the female owner of the breakfast shop, Zhou Yuan returned to work.
Liu Xiaopan drove to the provincial capital alone.
As soon as Zhou Yuan arrived at the company, someone called him. He picked up the phone and said "Hello".
The person who called was Li Xiaoxia, who said angrily on the other end of the phone:
"It seems like you never call me now, right? There are so many beautiful women around you, are you very busy?"
"Where? I have a job, okay? Do you think I'm just hanging around women every day?"
Zhou Yuan couldn't believe that this woman would sound sour every time she called him, as if she was jealous.
He and I are not in a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship, so why should I be jealous?
"Although you're not always around women, there are always women around you. Is there anything wrong with what I said?"
The other party chuckled after saying this.
Zhou Yuan had no idea what this girl was going to say, so he asked casually, "Why are you being so sour when I call you so early in the morning? We know each other very well, is there any need to be so sour?"
"Okay, let's get down to business. Our factory has two new construction projects coming up: one is the renovation of the staff dormitory building, and the other is the expansion of a new workshop. Are you interested?"
"Of course I'm interested in making money, but I want to ask, do you have any strings attached?"
When Zhou Yuan heard about the project, he immediately became interested. As an engineer, he would be excited when there was a project to do.
"Are there any additional conditions? But there is a condition of giving away a wife as a gift if you contract the project.
You wouldn't refuse such a good thing, right?"
After the other party finished speaking, he chuckled again, completely unlike his usual stern expression.
In Zhou Yuan's memory, this guy was usually very serious and cold except when talking to himself.
After all, she is the director of a large factory, a cool female CEO, and is usually very impressive.
How can you control your subordinates if you don't show some dignity at night?
This is his job, and Zhou Yuan has nothing to say.
But now this guy was laughing and joking, even saying he would give her a wife for the project. She couldn't help but ask curiously, "Who is he giving it to? Isn't it their factory director?"
"You're right, it's possible, but it depends on your performance." Li Xiaoxia restrained her smile and said dignifiedly:
"The quality of the project will remain the same, and the cost will not be low. The key is confidentiality. Can you do that?"
"Director, I'll definitely do it. Didn't I keep it a secret last time? The people I sent are all very reliable, so don't worry, Director."
"Okay, since you're interested, please drive over and we can talk in person in my office."
For example, after thinking for a moment, he said, "Forget it, I'll go out and let's find a coffee shop. Otherwise, you said you feel depressed in my office and it's inconvenient to talk."
"I'm glad you know. Let's meet at the coffee shop outside your factory. I'll drive over right away. See you in half an hour."
Zhou Yuan hung up the phone, grabbed his car keys and was about to go out, but Liu Yiming knocked on the door and said:
"Boss, you need to get out! Something happened on the construction site here. A worker was injured by steel bars. Fortunately, it's not serious and he has been sent to the hospital."
"It's good that it's not serious. You should go to the hospital and ask the doctor to treat it as soon as possible to avoid any sequelae.
Also, contact the family members and ask them to come over and communicate with them properly. Pay the compensation that is due and the medical expenses that are due. It is not easy for workers to work, so don't let them feel disheartened.
We must strengthen safety management on the project from now on to prevent any mistakes, understand?"
"I understand, boss. I've got it. I'll handle it right away." Liu Yiming said and went out quickly.
Zhou Yuan walked out of the company, got into his car, and drove all the way to the chemical plant.
Zhou Yuan’s office building is about a twenty-minute drive from the chemical plant, which is also in the south of the city, but the provincial capital has expanded rapidly in recent years.
From the Third Ring Road to the Fifth Ring Road, the city is getting bigger and bigger, and the distance between cities is getting farther and farther. Even if they are in the suburbs, they are not very close.
When Lu Yuan hurriedly walked into the coffee shop outside the chemical plant, Li Xiaoxia was sitting by the window, looking at him and smiling.
"Why are you so active today?" As far as I can remember, Li Xiaoxia was always late.
That's why Zhou Yuan said this when he sat down.
"Can't people improve? I was late before, but I won't be late again."
After saying that, Li Xiaoxia asked the waiter to order coffee, and asked Zhou Yuan with a smile what he wanted, and said that she would treat him today.
"Wow, it seems there has been real progress, and it's quite a bit." Zhou Yuan laughed and said the name of the coffee he wanted.
Then he looked at someone carefully.
It didn't matter that I took a quick look, I realized that someone was wearing something more sexy today. It was no longer her usual work outfit, but a rare miniskirt.
The thighs under the skirt are so white, so white.
"Why, you've never seen a beautiful woman, or you've never seen a thigh."
Li Xiaoxia noticed that someone was staring at her thighs. Her pretty face turned pink and she pouted and muttered something.
"It's okay if you haven't seen it yet, right?" To hide his embarrassment, Zhou Yuan laughed again, then sighed:
"Sister Factory Manager, this is the first time I've noticed that you're actually a beauty."
"Tsk, what's with that look? I just realized! I've always been a beauty, okay?"
Li Xiaoxia knocked the table with her hand, pointed at Zhou Yuan and said with a smile: "It seems that you really don't care about me enough.
You haven't even figured out what I look like, but the first time I saw you I realized you were a handsome guy, and you can't get out of my heart.
What do you think I should do?
"What to do? The old method, cold salad." Cold salad is Zhou Yuan's motto.
Whenever someone asked him what to do, he would answer, "Let it go."
Because cold pork belly is his favorite dish.
It's just that the pig stomach is a bit expensive.
"Director, you didn't invite me here to see beautiful women, did you? You said you wanted to discuss the project, right?"
Zhou Yuan knew that if he kept talking about irrelevant things with this girl, he would neglect the important matters, so he quickly got to the point.
Speaking of projects, Li Xiaoxia stopped joking and sat up straight, becoming serious. She stretched out her delicate fingers, opened the bag next to her, took out a document, pushed it in front of Zhou Yuan and said:
"Here's the project information. Take a look. Simply put, it's about five dormitory buildings and an expanded workshop. The total investment is over 30 million yuan, plus a 28% construction surcharge."
At that time, a 28% construction surcharge was very high, and this was one of Zhou Yuan’s favorite projects to take on.
Although confidentiality is required and the project quality is relatively strict, the cost is relatively high. As long as it is completed successfully, it is guaranteed to make money.
And make a lot of money.
