Qian Duoduo and Ling Yun chatted about the construction of the community. Ling Yun said, "The country is currently carrying out construction projects, and our area is also a top priority. I have already communicated with the leaders in Guangdong Province, and they are now mobilizing construction teams to come here."
She looked at Qian Duoduo with a serious expression and said, "Duoduo, there's something you need to be prepared for."
Qian Duoduo laughed and said, "What? In such a small place like mine, someone would actually pick the peaches?"
Ling Yun chuckled and said, "Although your place isn't big, the establishment of this community is of great significance to the development of Pengcheng."
Qian Duoduo laughed and said, "I've already paid for the land. Do you think they'll take it back? If they do, and I don't agree, what will they do to stop me? Will they delay my construction?"
Ling Yun paused for a moment after hearing Qian Duoduo's words, and then said, "Duoduo, sometimes things in officialdom are quite dark."
Qian Duoduo nodded and said, "Sister-in-law, I agree with what you said!"
The officialdom has always been corrupt; I've never dared to expect them to be completely transparent. But this land, the design of these houses—these are the fruits of my labor, the result of my painstaking efforts. I can involve government departments, but the power of decision-making must remain in my hands; that's my bottom line.
Ling Yun nodded and said, "Okay, I understand."
Qian Duoduo communicated with the construction team and company of Huajian almost every day. After half a month, she finally received a clear reply, and Qian Duoduo's heart gradually settled down.
Just then, Ling Yun arrived with a contract. Qian Duoduo glanced at the contents and smiled helplessly.
Qian Duoduo said, "Sister-in-law, I have handed over the construction rights of the house to Huajian, but the right to purchase the products must be in my hands."
They can specify the types of steel bars, cement, concrete, etc. they need, but the procurement and spending must go through me; otherwise, I'd rather this land just sit idle.
Ling Yun nodded and said, "This is fine. I've already written it down above. After all, the procurement process can be quite complex."
Qian Duoduo nodded and said, "Sister-in-law, thank you."
Ling Yun smiled and patted Qian Duoduo on the shoulder, saying, "Pengcheng is just starting out. Everything is between zero and one. I hope you can make that one."
Qian Duoduo smiled, picked up the pen and signed the contract. As she handed the contract to Ling Yun, she said, "Yes."
Not long after Qian Duoduo's contract was signed, the person in charge of Huajian and the person in charge of construction arrived in Pengcheng and went directly to the site where Qian Duoduo was going to build the high-end residential community.
Construction began soon afterward, and Huajian's people actually wanted the right to purchase materials, even causing some trouble. But Qian Mao, who was in charge of procurement, was not so easily bullied and taught those people a lesson.
This also allowed some officials in Shenzhen to see the capabilities of Wanmao Company's general manager. They later learned that he was originally a government official and had even served as the mayor's secretary. He was very familiar with the common tricks and methods used by everyone.
Upon learning that Vice Mayor Ling was Qian Mao's sister-in-law, many people were persuaded to withdraw. Even the most troublesome members of Huajian were subdued by Qian Mao's single act of violating regulations.
Most importantly, the supervisors and managers that Wanmao hired were a group of old guys from the Guangdong Provincial Architectural Design Institute. They knew the construction stuff inside and out, which made Huajian's people feel a bit stifled.
The person in charge of Huajian went directly to Qian Duoduo. Seeing that the young girl was trying to bluff, Qian Duoduo said directly, "If the inspection fails, I will not pay." Her firm attitude made the people from Huajian turn hostile.
Qian Duoduo said, "Our community will become a landmark of Shenzhen when it is completed. The quality of this famous mountain directly affects the foreign impression of China. You are babbling to me here, so I will ask you from above, is the face of China more important or your wallet?"
The person in charge of Huajian left with a dark expression. Three days later, he received a transfer order, sending him to the Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps in Northwest Xinjiang to develop Shihezi County.
The person in charge felt like crying. Just who is this Qian Duoduo?
At that moment, Qian Duoduo was on the phone with Lu Yuan: "Thank you so much! I didn't expect I could actually get rid of him. He was such a nuisance!"
Lu Yuan smiled and said, "I'm actually very happy that you told me directly when you needed me, so I don't feel so guilty for not being able to be by your side."
Qian Duoduo smiled and said, "Tell your dad later that I thanked Uncle Lu."
Lu Yuan: "My dad is happy too. You guys haven't been able to go to Beijing these past few years, and my grandpa and the others always talk about you guys."
Originally, my third brother worked within the system alongside my eldest brother. At some point, my father and eldest brother wanted him to take on more independent responsibilities. However, my third brother later went to school, and eventually ended up in Shenzhen.
Qian Duoduo: "Everything here is in dire need of rebuilding, and we really need someone like Third Brother. Even Uncle Qian Gui sold his job at the department store to come here and help out."
Hearing the girl's excited voice, Lu Yuan couldn't hide the smile in his eyes. He said, "I'm staying in your courtyard now, and I've even installed a phone. Write down the phone number later. I'm basically in the school's lab during the day, and I'll be home at night."
Qian Duoduo happily said, "Okay, tell me, and I'll write it down."
Lu Yuan: "0451XXXXXXX"
Qian Duoduo: "I've got it."
Wearing a safety helmet, Qian Duoduo toured the four completed buildings, accompanied by Jiao Huang, the newly arrived head of Huajian.
Jiao Huang said, "In the first phase of the entire community, these four buildings were completed, along with a four-story sales center."
Qian Duoduo, standing at the window that didn't yet have a window, asked, "What's your design for these windows?"
Jiao Huang said, "We could consider the wrought iron windows in Guangzhou."
Qian Duoduo shook her head and said, "It doesn't look good."
Jiao Huang was somewhat annoyed; was this reason far-fetched?
Qian Duoduo said, "Aluminum alloy windows are best."
Jiao Huang was taken aback: "This aluminum alloy stuff is still quite rare."
Qian Duoduo said, "I'll figure this out! Jiao Gong, could you give me the window dimensions for these four buildings later? I'll go look for them."
Looking at Qian Duoduo's expression, Jiao Huang could only nod and say, "Alright then!"
Qian Duoduo and the others arrived at the sales center. Looking at the bare lobby on the first floor, she turned to Jiao Huang and asked, "Jiao, is everything finished here?"
Jiao Huang said, "The outer frame is finished. The window dimensions will also be provided to you."
Qian Duoduo shook her head and said, "Give this to me first. The others can wait; we need to renovate this area first."
Jiao Huang had no choice but to nod!
