"Principal, what is your budget?" Lin Wei said, "It's like this, although we are all acquaintances, we are in business and we have to support so many people. We can't afford to be shortchanged. You can give me a number, and I will send someone to measure an area. After we make a budget based on your requirements, we will consider whether we can take the job."
"Rest assured, you don't need to worry about the safety of our Boyuan houses at all. We guarantee that once they are built, they will last for decades or even centuries without any problems."
"Of course I'm at ease about that, otherwise I wouldn't have come to you."
After saying that, Principal Liu announced a number.
Lin Wei had a general idea in her mind.
“Okay, I’ll bring people over this afternoon to measure the area. You can tell us your requirements then.”
After seeing Principal Liu off, Lin Wei stopped and looked around the staff office area for a long time before finally saying, "Li Qian, Sha Qingguo, come to my office."
The two were somewhat taken aback when they were suddenly called out.
However, thinking about Su Chen's previous incident and the person from earlier, the two of them suddenly became more interested in each other.
He turned around and knocked on Lin Wei's office door.
"Come in."
Lin Wei didn't rush to talk about work; instead, she invited everyone to sit down and started making tea.
"Have a cup of tea first, don't be nervous, look at you all."
Actually, these two were also Lin Wei's classmates. Sha Qingguo was her undergraduate classmate. He went to the planning bureau and then resigned to come to their company.
Li Qian was my classmate in graduate school. She came from another university to study in the Department of Architecture at Jiangcheng University.
After graduation, Lin Wei recruited them to her company; both of them are very capable.
Oh, no, I should say that the people working in their company are all very capable. It would be a waste of their talents to have them as ordinary employees.
Just like Wang Ying said, if it weren't for the salary covering it—
Lin Wei stopped thinking about it, brewed the tea and handed a cup to each person before getting down to business.
"That was the principal of the Wool Factory Elementary School. Of course, the Wool Factory Elementary School has been renamed; it's now called Chaoyang Elementary School. It used to be for the children of factory workers, only accepting children from the factory. But later, with the one-child policy, fewer families had one child, and the factory went out of business, so they started admitting students from outside the factory."
“But that building is too old. Principal Liu came to us to renovate the school playground and build a new teaching building. I asked him to give us a number, which is roughly within the range, but this still needs detailed data. You two come with me to the school this afternoon. If the cooperation is successful, you will be in charge of this project.”
A hint of surprise flashed in their eyes.
Lin Wei didn't want to disappoint them either, "But don't get too excited yet. I'm worried that the price might not be enough. Even if it's a school, I won't do a deal that's not worth it. Let's measure, draw up plans, and make a budget first. That will be good experience, okay?"
"Great, that's great! Finally, we have a chance to shine."
"Hey, it's a waste of your talents to work for me, but the company is only so big, and there are only so many projects... Look, if the company develops, you will all have made great contributions. In short, I will definitely not treat you unfairly."
“We know, we understand. With the jobs we do now, if we went to another company, not to mention the salary, even after many years, it would be very difficult to get a promotion or an opportunity to work independently. Don’t worry, we won’t have any complaints about this.”
So, we're all smart people, there's no need for her to say anything more.

After lunch, Lin Wei drove the person over.
Before I even saw the principal, I spotted Lin Yuan and the Su brothers at the school gate.
"Sis, what brings you here?"
"I'm here to work, what are the three of you doing at the door?" Lin Wei asked seriously.
The three smiled sheepishly before saying, "We came out to buy snacks."
"If you want to eat snacks, then eat snacks. I never told you not to eat snacks, so why are you sneaking around?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Principal Liu came out to greet him.
"President Lin."
"Principal, these are my colleagues, Xiao Liu and Xiao Sha."
"Hey, hey, hello everyone, let me show you the way."
After glaring at the three children, Lin Wei officially began her work.
The playground is still the same area; it can be renovated on the same spot.
The new teaching building is to the left of the old teaching building, which is further away from the school gate.
“The current teaching building has 50 or 60 students in each classroom, and some classes have more than 60 students, which is too many. We plan to have them all move to the new teaching building after it is completed, and then demolish the old teaching building and build a new building. But it will definitely not need to be that big. At that time, we will separate the music classroom, art classroom and teachers' offices.”
"I want to build a separate building for the restrooms on the right side of the school. It definitely won't be outside the school. But in this area near the school gate, I want to build an admissions office on the left and a guardhouse on the right. That's roughly it."
Principal Liu has quite a few requirements, and he has never mentioned these requirements in his office.
Lin Wei emphasized, "Principal Liu, you didn't say you wanted to build so many buildings. If you do, the previous funds will definitely not be enough."
"I know, I know, I'm not entirely sure myself. Give me a budget, and I'll figure out how to proceed."
In short, the school will definitely have to be demolished and rebuilt. As long as the price is right, everything should be negotiable.
"Okay, let's get started."
Lin Wei didn't concern herself with the measurement; she simply stayed by her side, recording the data.
She was so busy that she didn't finish until school let out.
Lin Yuan saw her and eagerly came over.
"Sis, are you still busy? Do you want to come home for dinner tonight?"
Lin Wei glanced at him and said, "It's not like you can just come home and get a meal. Your aunt is so busy, she doesn't have time to cook for you."
"So I always eat at Aunt Liu's house, and I settle the bill once a month." After saying that, Lin Yuan said, "But, you know..."
She knew it.
"But what? Does it have anything to do with the bad thing you just did?"
"Sis, I didn't do anything bad. It's just that Aunt Liu's food is delicious, but it's too bland. The school food doesn't have any meat or anything. After a while, I can't help but crave meat."
Lin Wei paused, then realized what was happening.
"If you want to eat meat, just tell me. I'll take you to a buffet. It's not that hard. Why are you being so secretive?"
The Su brothers laughed and said, "The fried skewers outside the school are especially delicious, but they're not healthy. My mom won't let me eat them. If you see us, the three of us can't sneak around like this."
"Alright, as long as you don't do anything wrong, I'm not as old-fashioned as your elders. But don't eat fried skewers today, I'll take you to eat all-you-can-eat barbecue later."
After saying that, Lin Wei added, "Xiao Li, Xiao Sha, you two should come too."
