Ji Wanmei said, "That's true, but at that time Lei Tingjun didn't have that much funding, nor did he have a professional and complete team. He didn't even have any engineering experience before. It must have taken courage for him to take on this huge project despite all the pressure, right?"
"Look over there, that will become a pedestrian shopping district. There will be a medium-sized shopping mall there, and further ahead is a commercial area for various businesses, and then a residential area. Behind the residential area is a large park that connects to the existing natural environment."
"The entire development zone covers an area of over 100,000 square meters. This is a very large scale."
Upon hearing this, Ji Xingguo finally became interested and his expression turned serious.
What does 100,000 square meters mean?
Their Dongfang Daily Chemical Factory, with its factory area, workshops, employee dormitories, and other public land covering nearly 20,000 square meters, is the largest factory in Pingquan County.
If we were to convert this to the size of Dongfang Daily Chemical Factory, it would be equivalent to five Dongfang Factories.
Ji Wanmei said with pride, "When the planning drawings for this development zone were being designed, I also offered a lot of opinions and ideas. Professor Liang, a very famous architect from our university, also helped with the design. It can be said that Lei Tingjun and I put a lot of effort into this commercial development zone."
Ji Xingguo pondered for a moment, then asked her knowingly, "Why did he call those two wholesale markets the Pearls of the Orient?"
Ji Wanmei said, "Guangzhou, Hong Kong, those places all have popular names like Oriental Pearl or Twin Towers. He also chose a trendy name to connect with the big cities."
Ji Xingguo snorted. He would never believe that!
The father and daughter continued walking forward, and Ji Wanmei suddenly saw a familiar figure standing on the steel frame of a building under construction ahead.
Ji Wanmei composed herself and said to Ji Xingguo, "You see, he usually works alongside the workers and does everything himself."
Ji Xingguo looked up and saw Lei Tingjun, who was taller and bigger than the people around him, wearing a safety helmet and busy on the steel frame above.
Standing a little distance away, Ji Xingguo squinted and saw the sweat under Lei Tingjun's helmet, reflecting the sunlight, and his dark arms bulging with muscles from working hard.
Ji Xingguo, with a stern face, turned his head and glanced to the side, noticing the words "Dongfang Construction Company" prominently displayed on the safety railings of the project.
On the steel frame of the building across the street, a familiar brother of Lei Tingjun stopped to take a sip of water when he suddenly noticed two people below, a middle school student and a girl.
Why do they look so alike...?
The brother quickly turned to Lei Tingjun and said, "Brother Lei, look at those two people standing down there, the ones wearing helmets, don't they look like your wife?"
Lei Tingjun turned his head and looked down in the direction the worker was pointing, his eyes immediately freezing.
It's her!
It's Meimei!
Lei Tingjun would never mistake her for someone else.
But how come she's here? Shouldn't she be at home in Pingquan County?
Lei Tingjun noticed that there was another person next to her, and upon closer inspection, he realized it was her father, Ji Xingguo.
How could they... how could the father and daughter have come here together?
Lei Tingjun's mind was filled with doubts and confusion, as well as all sorts of longing for her, all of which surged into his heart in that instant.
Without a second thought, he wiped the sweat from his brow, turned and handed the tools to the other workers, saying hastily, "You watch this place, I have something to do downstairs!"
