Director Ye, I was able to succeed this time thanks to your tea. Whenever I lose confidence, I drink some of the tea you give me, and my confidence increases immediately. "
"I'm afraid it's not because of the tea I gave you, but the story behind the tea that has been inspiring you to move forward." Ye Li knew that Qian Zhi had deep feelings for Ling Yun, and every time he drank tea, he actually missed her.
"Hehehe, Director Ye found out." Qian Zhi laughed embarrassedly.
"Chief Qian, please give a copy of this technical indicator to the factory's technical department so that they can also study it." Liu Hua said.
"Okay. I'll send it over right away."
Ye Li and his three companions left the laboratory on the third floor and went to the technical department together. Suddenly, a rumbling sound of machines was heard from the door.
"What's going on? Why is it so noisy?"
When Ye Li and others arrived at the gate, everyone was stunned by the scene before them.
Several excavators were parked at the factory gate, blocking it completely. It looked like they were going to start construction.
...
...
Aunt Jiang also came out of the message room to watch the fun. She shouted to the excavator driver, "Young man, what are you going to do?"
"According to the instructions from our superiors, we need to re-lay the sewage pipes underneath. We have to dig up the ground in front of the factory gate today. Please cooperate with us."
After the guy driving the excavator finished speaking, he started digging a hole in the ground with the machine.
"Why did they start construction without receiving any notice?" Liu Hua looked at the excavators and felt something was odd.
"Well, I'll go and ask what's going on."
Ye Li and a group of people returned to the factory. When they got off work in the afternoon, they found that a huge hole had been dug in front of the entrance of the weaving factory, leaving no room for people to walk.
The workers who were going home after get off work complained that they had never seen such construction work before, without even leaving a path for people to walk on.
"What's going on? How can construction be done like this? Are you mistaken?"
"Yeah, I've seen long trenches dug before when re-laying pipes, but why did they dig such a big hole today?"
The workers could only climb out of the excavated soil pile with difficulty and could not even ride their bicycles.
Aunt Jiang also got off work. She was old and had a hard time stepping on the pile of dirt.
"These guys are not here to lay pipes! They are here to dig wells!"
Aunt Jiang complained as she climbed out of the pile of dirt.
After crossing the pit, Aunt Jiang stamped her feet, patted the dirt off her body, and asked the nearest construction worker, "Young man, how many days will it take for you to finish the construction? When will the pipeline be laid?"
"One day, it will be fine after tomorrow."
The workers were very happy with the young man's answer. Fortunately, the construction period was only one day, so no matter how difficult the journey was, they only had to overcome it in one day.
"That's pretty fast." Aunt Jiang muttered and went home with the cloth bag.
The next day, the excavators were still working. They still did not dig a long trench, but instead dug another big pit in front of yesterday's big pit.
The road in front of the factory was completely dug up by them and could no longer be walked on. The workers climbed the dirt slope while cursing and complaining about the terrible road conditions.
"Director Ye, the raw materials will arrive in the city today. How can we enter the factory under this circumstance?" Xiao Sun from the purchasing department ran over and looked at the two big holes at the door at a loss.
"Let the trucks park on the side of the road first and let the drivers take a rest. In this situation, even manual transportation will be a big problem. Once the road is filled tomorrow, we can let the trucks enter the factory."
Ye Li was also helpless looking at the two-meter-high pile of earth. She had asked people in the factory yesterday, and no one had received any construction notice. She also didn't know which department in the city was responsible for this construction.
"Let's go back to the factory. There's no point in keeping an eye on them here." Ye Li and Xiao Sun returned to the factory.
At noon, a phone call came to Ye Li's office.
After answering the call, Ye Li rushed to the office of Secretary Chen of the Municipal Party Committee as quickly as possible.
"Secretary Chen, what's going on? Didn't we sign the contract for what we agreed on before? How could it change so suddenly?"
Ye Li didn't expect that Secretary Chen's call brought her extremely bad news.
"Ye Li, I understand how you feel. I have been fighting for your weaving factory, but the provincial leaders finally gave the quota for the new district to someone else." Secretary Chen was also very heartbroken.
“The province can’t just change its mind at will. Our contract has been signed!” Ye Li was a little anxious. If a signed contract could be invalidated at will, where would the credibility be?
"You said that the weaving factory was unlucky. In order to win an opportunity for your weaving factory today, I brought the provincial leaders to inspect your factory. But when we arrived at the gate of your factory, my God, we couldn't get in at all. The provincial leaders originally agreed to give you another chance, but it was invalidated because the inspection was not successful!"
Secretary Chen was saddened when he recalled that he had just led the provincial leaders back in vain. If the weaving factory gate was unobstructed, then perhaps the quota for building a new weaving factory area could be retained today.
"Ye Li, you could have started the construction at any other time, but you chose this critical moment. It can only be said that you are unlucky. But don't be discouraged, I will think of a way for you to see if there are any vacancies returned by other factories." Secretary Chen saw that Ye Li was in a very low mood, so he said comforting words. After all, it was he who made the promise to Ye Li.
"Secretary Chen, you also know that the quota for the new district is very limited. No one will withdraw." Ye Li smiled bitterly.
“That’s true…”
"Secretary Chen, is the city re-laying sewage pipes recently?" Ye Li suddenly realized that there was indeed a problem with the construction.
"No. The sewage pipe underneath was re-laid last year. How could it be possible to lay it again? The city doesn't have the budget for it." Secretary Chen denied.
After hearing what Secretary Chen said, Ye Li finally realized that the weaving factory was being plotted against.
This construction was actually intended to prevent provincial leaders from inspecting the weaving factory, and was not the so-called laying of pipelines.
"Secretary Chen, since things have come to this, I will go back first. If there is any improvement, please inform me at any time." After saying hello to Secretary Chen, Ye Li left the office.
After leaving the Municipal Party Committee Building, Ye Li rushed back to the weaving factory. It was three o'clock in the afternoon when Ye Li returned to the factory. At this time, there was no excavator at the factory gate. There were only two large pits more than three meters deep.
"Aunt Jiang, when did those excavators leave this morning?" Ye Li asked, knocking on the glass of the message room.
"He left an hour ago. Ye Li, does this mean the construction is finished?" Aunt Jiang came out and asked in confusion as she looked at the two big holes.
"I'm so angry! They ruined our good thing. They didn't even fill the hole!" Ye Li said angrily while gritting his teeth.
