Chapter 295 Accidental Injury!
"What are you thinking about?" Jiang Si couldn't help but ask when she saw that he hadn't spoken for a long time.
Whether it was her imagination or not, she actually saw a hint of ruthlessness in Huo Tingzhou's eyes.
He didn't say anything, but the expression on his face clearly showed that he wanted to kill the other person.
Although Jiang Si doesn't like this person either, the two have never even met.
She felt it hadn't come to that.
"Don't you dare do anything reckless!"
Jiang Si reached out and grabbed his arm. "You're at the peak of your career right now, with a bright future ahead of you. Don't dirty your hands with someone like this."
Meeting her worried gaze, Huo Tingzhou's cold expression softened slightly.
He didn't say much, only that he would go with you tomorrow.
Jiang Si had the same idea.
He nodded. "Okay."
The next morning, the two went to the Ministry of Construction together.
Just like last time, when they arrived, the conference room was already quite full.
When Jiang Si sat down, she glanced around and noticed that the person from the Ling family was not there.
Just when she thought the other party was going to stand them up again,
A middle-aged man with thick eyebrows, big eyes, and an approachable appearance suddenly looked over.
"Hello, Comrade Jiang."
Jiang Si has a very good memory; she remembers everyone Professor Li introduced that day.
She simply didn't recognize the person in front of her.
Jiang Si hesitated for a moment, "Hello, how should I address you?"
"Just call me Lao Yang."
Jiang Si: "..."
This...this isn't a good idea.
Just then, Professor Li walked in from outside with a stack of documents.
Seeing that the two had started talking, he was quite pleased.
"Xiao Jiang, let me introduce you. This is Director Yang from the Second Construction Bureau of the Construction Committee."
Nowadays, the head of most state-owned enterprises is not called manager, but director.
"Director Yang, hello."
As Jiang Si greeted them, she couldn't help but wonder, "They changed construction companies?"
The last time she went to the construction site, the banner hanging outside clearly said First Engineering Bureau.
"Yes, it's been changed." Professor Li nodded.
He hadn't originally planned to talk about it, but since Jiang Si asked, he gave a brief explanation.
Ling Yunfei arrived the day after they visited the construction site last time.
On the surface, he came to explain and apologize.
In reality, they were shirking responsibility the whole time, and even shifted the blame to the project team.
Professor Li was furious and interrupted him.
That afternoon, Professor Li approached Minister Zhao of the Construction Department and strongly demanded that the construction company be replaced.
In fact, the Second Engineering Bureau was originally chosen as the construction contractor when the project was first established.
But Old Master Ling hadn't retired yet, and the Ling family saw this opportunity.
Ultimately, there was no other way but to award the project to the First Engineering Bureau.
The First Engineering Bureau has been working on the project for over a month now, and they have completed all the initial demolition work.
Now that they can just change it like that, Director Zhao is really having a headache.
However, Professor Li's attitude on this matter was quite assertive, suggesting that if you disagreed, he would simply quit.
Minister Zhao was forced into a corner and had no choice but to compromise.
So the project eventually came back to the Second Engineering Bureau.
"Xiao Jiang, Lao Yang and I have been working together for over ten years. Feel free to ask for anything, don't be shy."
"As long as your design drawings are available, he can find a way to build it for you!"
Director Yang shook his head helplessly, "You..." You really know how to give me a difficult problem.
Unfortunately, my old friend had already bragged about it.
What could he say?
Finally, Director Yang could only grit his teeth and say, "I will do my best."
Professor Li was waiting for him to say this: "Okay, you two chat first, I'll go take care of something else."
Director Yang didn't stand on ceremony either.
Although it's only the end of February, this year has been a mild winter.
They surveyed the site yesterday, and the demolition work around the construction site has now been completed.
All other conditions were met.
Now we're just waiting for Jiang Si's blueprints.
As long as the blueprints are available, they can start excavating the foundation at any time!
After saying this, Director Yang gave Jiang Si a few more documents.
Jiang Si glanced at it and, after confirming there were no problems, nodded in agreement.
"I will have Xiao Qi send the relevant drawings to you before this Friday."
Director Yang nodded: "Okay."
Next, the two had a detailed discussion on issues such as foundation depth, support methods, and earthwork treatment.
This conversation lasted for more than two hours.
Director Yang was initially worried, after all, Comrade Jiang was so young and had never worked in the construction field before.
After some discussion...
He discovered that the child considered issues much more comprehensively than he had imagined, and could pinpoint many professional details.
Moreover, he is exceptionally humble and eager to learn.
Whenever I encounter something I don't understand, I stop and ask questions carefully.
He now finally understood why his old friend valued and trusted her so much.
While they were talking about these things, Huo Tingzhou listened quietly from the side.
Seeing that the two communicated smoothly, Jiang Si handled the situation with ease.
His slightly furrowed brows gradually relaxed.
Even so, Huo Tingzhou was still worried.
When Mr. Huo returned from get off work, the father and son went straight to the study.
"What are you and Dad talking about? You've been talking for so long?" Jiang Si glanced at the time; they had been chatting in the study for over an hour.
Huo Tingzhou said succinctly, "Dad said that Uncle Chen will pick you up from get off work from now on."
Uncle Chen?
"This isn't a good idea."
Jiang Si said, "Uncle Chen is Dad's personal bodyguard. He follows me around every day. What about Dad?"
After a pause, she added, "Actually, you don't need to worry too much. Uncle Zhong taught me a few self-defense moves before."
"It can be surprisingly effective at crucial moments, and it's very useful!"
Moreover, she has her own space; anyone who dares to mess with her is simply courting death.
Huo Tingzhou raised an eyebrow: "Did Uncle Zhong teach you that?"
"Yes, when I went to Qiongzhou Island the year before last, he was afraid that I would encounter bad people on the way, so he specially taught me a few tricks. My third uncle also gave me a ring."
As Jiang Si spoke, she suddenly felt playful.
Taking advantage of Huo Tingzhou's inattention, she suddenly chopped him with a hand chop.
Unexpectedly, Huo Tingzhou reacted quickly, turning to the side and rapidly increasing the distance between them.
Seemingly wanting to test his wife's skills, he said again, "Again!"
Come on over!
Jiang Si was not convinced and unexpectedly used a second move.
However, Huo Tingzhou easily deflected the attack.
Finally, he thoughtfully helped her up.
"The lower body isn't very stable, and the power is still a bit lacking."
After her two moves were easily neutralized, Jiang Si suddenly felt discouraged.
No wonder Uncle San was so worried before.
It turns out that her skills were simply no match for absolute power.
Undeterred, Jiang Si unleashed another move.
But Huo Tingzhou barely had to lift a finger to grab her wrist and press it high above her head.
Jiang Si was instantly unable to move.
Seeing her frustrated expression, Huo Tingzhou felt a pang of sympathy, but he hardened his heart.
"The moves you've learned are fine against ordinary people, but you'll still be at a disadvantage when you encounter a trained fighter..."
"hiss--"
Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Jiang Si's cry of pain.
Huo Tingzhou immediately loosened his grip and looked nervously at her wrist.
Did I hurt you?
No sooner said than done.
Taking advantage of his momentary lapse in concentration, Jiang Si used the last move that Uncle Zhong had taught her.
"..."
Huo Tingzhou was caught off guard and took a solid kick.
Seeing his pale face, Jiang Si was also stunned, never expecting that she could actually 'succeed'!
She quickly stepped forward to help him up, "You...why didn't you move away a little? I thought you would do what you did just now..."
