After pondering it all night, Lin Wei actually figured out the trick.
“Jianggang Group is a large company. They invest in large projects. Although our company has also started to grow, it seems a bit presumptuous of us to compete with Jianggang Group. In our business dealings, Shen Jize and I keep our positions very separate.”
Lin Wei said, "Their company's future development will focus on high-end residential areas, high-end office buildings, and shopping malls. They will definitely have some mid-range residential areas in between, but it mainly depends on the location."
Wang Ying asked doubtfully, "What about us? Are we going to go back to doing low-end projects? But our company has already grown, is it really necessary to take on those projects?"
Listening to Wang Ying's words, Lin Wei finally realized what the problem was.
"No, when did projects become categorized as mid-range and low-end?"
Wang Ying was taken aback. "Didn't you say it was high-end?"
“His high-end is clearly not on the same level as ours. Apart from that, when did we ever distinguish between high and low, noble and base? No, our mindset is wrong. No wonder we can't get our work done. Come on, let me look at all the materials below and find a direction.”
She said she couldn't believe she'd run into Jize's project.
Their career paths are clearly different. In the past, they would have had virtually no chance of meeting, let alone having projects overlap.
It's true what they say, "Pregnancy makes you stupid for three years."
She only realized this now.

Once you've clarified your thinking and mindset, your approach to subsequent projects will be completely different.
"This project is feasible, this project is feasible, and the area involved is quite large."
If a subway is built, it won't even take two stops to get out of the neighborhood.
“If this project starts, it will take at least 3 or 4 years to complete.”
Zhang Yanyan took the project proposal and glanced at it. "Yes, but this place is a resettlement house built by the village. It is inhabited by the original villagers of this area. The project has not started because some villagers were not satisfied with the original price, which is why it has been delayed."
“The project itself is fine, but we can’t start construction if these legacy issues aren’t resolved, right?”
"How to get these people to move out is a problem that the demolition office should solve, not us."
Moreover, in her previous life, this project was officially launched and developed very well. She hadn't heard of any deaths occurring, so she figured it shouldn't be a big problem to solve.
“This project is huge. If we want to do it, all of our company’s staff will probably have to get involved. We’ll bid on this as the main project. If we can get the bid, our company won’t have to do anything else. But we need to be prepared for both. These two projects are also good. We’ll prepare a bid document for both of them. If we get the bids for both, we’ll do them together.”
Wang Ying and Zhang Yanyan took it and read it carefully.
Zhang Yanyan laughed and said, "It's not difficult to secure these two small projects, but this big project is... I'm afraid that if we manage to secure all three at once, given our company's situation..."
"It's manageable, it'll just be a bit tiring for everyone, but isn't it a good opportunity to earn more money? I won't force anyone. If they want to work overtime, they can; if they don't want to, they don't have to. But the final salary they receive will definitely be different. I've always been like this, and everyone knows that. It's up to them."
"Okay, I'll go down and talk to them."
But then Zhang Yanyan asked, "Have you heard? They're planning to build a light rail line on Jiangdu Road. Lots of companies are vying for the project; they say it's very profitable. What do you think? Should we get involved?"
"Tsk." After hesitating for a moment, Lin Wei said, "Let's not do this. That project is complicated and tedious, and we've never done this before. We might as well go back to our old profession."
Zhang Yanyan was a little surprised, "I thought you would take on this project after hearing about it? I didn't expect you to reject it so quickly?"
"Do what you're good at. We're not short of projects, so there's no need to compete for this one. Besides, the light rail carries so many people; it would be terrible if an accident happened because of our mistake."
Lin Wei had a clear understanding of herself. She had never been involved in this field before and only worked on this one line of business. There was no need for her to try something new, since her company was not expanding to other places.

After the task was assigned, she received the latest tender documents and budget within a few days.
A few days later, at the voting meeting, Boyuan Construction unsurprisingly won all three bids.
Afterwards, Lin Wei and the other two congratulated each other.
"Everyone will be busy for at least the next three years."
Wang Ying resigned herself to her fate, saying, "We'll prepare the two smaller ones and start construction next year, but as for the big one... I'll go check with the demolition office."
"I'll go with you."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Yanyan picked up the things and said, "Then I'll go back to the company, put the things back, and share the good news with everyone. I've made money again, and I'm sure everyone will be very happy."
"Okay."
The three separated on the spot.
After seeing Zhang Yanyan off, Lin Wei drove Wang Ying to the scene in the residential area.
The demolition office's task is almost finished, and large-scale demolitions have already begun.
But there was one household in one building that absolutely refused to move out.
Director Ling of the demolition office said, "I originally thought it was because the price was not right, but even after I increased the price, they were still not satisfied and refused to move no matter what. We can't just demolish it directly, can we? If someone dies, it will be even more difficult to handle."
"Is the other person alone?" Wang Ying asked.
“A middle-aged woman, in her forties, she wasn’t alone; she had a family, but they had all moved elsewhere. We asked her neighbors, and she lives there alone.”
Director Ling whispered, "We've already raised the price several times, but she's still not satisfied. She insists on adding another apartment to the price we're offering."
"So the water and electricity have been cut off?" Wang Ying asked again.
Director Ling sighed upon hearing this, “It’s been broken off for two or three months now. We’ve blocked the keyhole with glue and even smashed bricks at the window in the middle of the night, but we don’t dare to smash it too hard for fear of hurting someone. But nothing works. It’s not that we’re unwilling to give her more money, but she’s taking advantage of us. We really don’t have the means to give her another apartment.”
"Isn't she afraid? Even having someone scare her won't work?"
"It's no use. She has health problems herself, including heart disease, diabetes, and high blood pressure. In short, she's basically riddled with illnesses."
After hearing this, what is there not to understand?
“She’s only after the house. She doesn’t care if her illness takes her life. If it’s really too much, just give it to her. It’s just one house anyway.”
Upon hearing this, Director Ling felt like slapping his thigh in frustration.
“It’s not that I can’t make this decision, but the problem is with this person. She has a problem with herself. She wants to share the benefits with the neighbors. After we increased the amount the first time, she immediately told the neighbors, and the neighbors came over and made a fuss with us, asking why we should increase the amount for her and not for them.”
