Chapter 80 Low-level Mistake
The palace bathroom project has finally reached its final stage.
The acceptance day for Party A is tomorrow.
Wu Suowei, wearing a safety helmet and holding a small notebook, carefully did the final check.
The vermilion columns, the golden carvings, the smooth tiles, everything was perfectly presented according to the plan that Chi Cheng later adjusted.
He looked at the magnificent effect, feeling both proud and a little unreal.
Was this really his doing?
Well, most of the credit goes to that madman Chi Cheng...
He walked over to the shower area.
The floor here is paved with non-slip tiles, and the wet and dry areas are separated.
Wu Suowei habitually rubbed the ground with his feet, feeling the friction of the tiles.
etc……
His brows suddenly furrowed.
It feels... not right.
He rubbed it harder again, squatted down, and carefully felt the gaps and slopes between the tiles with his fingers.
A chill suddenly rushed from the soles of his feet to the top of his head, and Wu Suowei's face turned pale in an instant!
The floor of the shower area... is actually flat!
The proper drainage slope is not made!
This is definitely a very low-level mistake. How could a worker make such a mistake?
The water can't flow down at all and will all accumulate here!
Acceptance inspection tomorrow... This is definitely a fatal flaw!
You will be scolded to death by Party A and may even be refused the balance payment!
"Fuck!" Wu Suowei stood up suddenly, and his vision went dark because he was too anxious.
He leaned against the wall, feeling extremely anxious.
How could such a mistake be made?!
He clearly remembered the slope was marked on the blueprint! During construction...during construction, he seemed to be distracted by other things?
Was it when Chi Cheng was bothering him every day? Or was it when he was getting so frustrated that he was completely exhausted?
He tried his best to think of everything, but ended up falling flat on his face in such a place!
Tomorrow! Party A will be here tomorrow!
It's too late to rework now! There's not enough materials, labor, time... nothing is enough!
He was finished! All the hard work and money he had invested during this period were going to go down the drain!
He slid down to the ground against the cold tile wall, his hard hat tilted to one side, his face pale.
He could even imagine Party A's furious look tomorrow, and Wang Shuo's gloating expression when he found out...
No! I can't just give up like this!
Wu Suowei clenched his fists suddenly, digging his nails into his palms.
He gritted his teeth, supported himself against the wall and stood up. The despair in his eyes was replaced by a fierce determination to fight to the death.
"Lao Wang! Lao Li!" Wu Suowei shouted outside at the top of his lungs, "Bring the cutting machine! Cement! Sand! Everything in! Quick!"
The workers ran in when they heard the noise, and were shocked to see Wu Suowei's pale face and red eyes.
"Mr. Wu, what's wrong?"
"Shower area! The floor has no slope! The water won't drain!" Wu Suowei pointed at the ground, his voice hoarse but firm. "Now! Immediately! Redo the work! Remove all the tiles! Redo the slope!"
The workers looked at each other, looking at the floor that had been paved, beautifully grouted, and flawless.
"Engineer Wu... this... this project is too big! We'll have it inspected tomorrow..."
"I know!" Wu Suowei interrupted him, his eyes fierce. "If you can't finish it, work all night! It must be finished tonight! I'll pay double the wages!"
He practically yelled.
Double the wages... This is simply cutting into his flesh! But he can't care about it now!
Seeing his resolute attitude and knowing the seriousness of the situation, the workers hurried to move their tools.
Soon, the harsh sound of a cutting machine was heard in the shower area, and dust filled the air.
Wu Suowei didn't care about getting dirty. He put on gloves and personally helped to pry up the floor tiles and move the waste.
Sweat mixed with dust soon made his face and body dirty.
Time passes by every second.
As night falls, the lights on the construction site come on.
Wu Suowei was so tired that he could hardly straighten his back and his arms were sore, but his hands did not stop moving.
He had only one thought in mind: get it done before tomorrow! No chance of failure!
Just as he and the workers were working hard and the atmosphere was so tense that it was almost frozen, a sound of footsteps came from afar.
Several figures appeared in the dazzling white light at the door.
Wu Suowei was struggling to lift a heavy cement slab. He looked up when he heard the sound and squinted his eyes against the light.
Chi Cheng's tall figure walked in front, still looking leisurely.
Behind him followed Guo Chengyu, who looked like he was enjoying the show, and Jiang Xiaoshuai, who was being forcibly pulled by Guo Chengyu's arm and looked reluctant.
"Wow, it's late at night and Boss Wu is still supervising the work himself? He's working so hard?" Guo Chengyu's joking voice sounded, breaking the noise of the construction site.
When Wu Suowei saw who was coming, especially when he saw Chi Cheng's deep and unfathomable eyes under the light, his heart skipped a beat.
Why is he here again?!
He even brought Guo Chengyu and Jiang Xiaoshuai! Look at how disheveled he looks?!
The strong sense of shame and the embarrassment of being caught in an embarrassing situation made Wu Suowei's face turn red instantly.
He suddenly put down the cement board with a clang, tried to straighten his back, and wiped the sweat and dust off his face, but the more he wiped, the more smudged it became.
He stiffened his neck, his voice a little hoarse from fatigue and nervousness: "You...why are you here?"
Chi Cheng didn't say anything, his eyes sweeping over the messy shower area, the pried-up floor tiles, the piled-up building materials, and Wu Suowei's dusty face and forced calmness.
He walked up to Wu Suowei, very close to him.
Wu Suowei could even smell the fresh scent on him, which was incompatible with the smell of dust and cement in the construction site.
"The slope of the ground is wrong?" Chi Cheng's voice was calm, without any emotion.
Wu Suowei's heart sank.
Did he know? Did he come to laugh at his joke?
He gritted his teeth and turned his face away, not wanting Chi Cheng to see the embarrassment in his eyes: "...It's just a small problem, I'll solve it right away."
"Small problem?" Guo Chengyu also strolled over and kicked the scrap bricks that had been pried off nearby with his toes. "That's quite a commotion. Will there be enough time for inspection tomorrow?"
"There's still time!" Wu Suowei practically shouted, with a desperate determination, "We can finish it all night!"
Jiang Xiaoshuai felt so distressed when he saw his friend staggering from exhaustion that he shook off Guo Chengyu's hand and rushed over: "Dawei! Take a break! I'll help you!"
As he said this, he was about to take the tools from Wu Suowei's hand.
"No need!" Wu Suowei dodged his hand and stubbornly gripped the shovel handle, his knuckles turning white from the force.
"I can do it myself!" He didn't want to owe anyone anymore, especially Chi Cheng.
Chi Cheng looked at his stubborn back and slightly trembling arms, his eyes deepening.
He didn't say anything else, just turned around and winked at Guo Chengyu.
Guo Chengyu understood and sighed exaggeratedly, hugging Jiang Xiaoshuai, who was still trying to rush forward. "Hey, my little ancestor, don't make things worse! Come on, let me take you to buy some midnight snacks! Let's replenish the energy for our Boss Wu and his coworkers!"
Without saying anything, he half dragged and half carried the struggling Jiang Xiaoshuai out of the construction site.
