Chapter 131 Foreign Aid
Nanfeng Company is a three-story building, facing north and south, facing the main road, with the stairs on the west side. The first floor is divided into two rooms, one is Tao Nanfeng's independent office, and the other is the reception room.
Tao Nanfeng sat in front of an oversized desk, looking outside through the glass door.
The street facing Jiangcheng University of Architecture is becoming more and more lively, with people coming and going, and some mobile vendors pushing carts and selling their wares along the street.
The spring breeze of reform and opening up is blowing, and the market economy is gradually recovering, which is great.
Zheng Meng sat on the sofa by the wall and apologized with a gloomy face: "Mr. Tao, my eyes are blurry and I mistook rice for weeds. Please be magnanimous and help us find out what went wrong for the sake of the reputation of the steel plant."
Tao Nanfeng poured himself a bowl of tea, lowered his head and took a sip without even lifting his eyelids.
Zheng Meng was 57 years old, and this was the first time he was treated so coldly by a young woman. He was so angry that his teeth were itching. It just so happened that both the factory director and the secretary took a liking to Tao Nanfeng. Plus, the time constraints for the expert building and the fact that it would take too much time to redo the survey made them have no choice but to ask her for help.
Zheng Xuxing sat aside and couldn't bear to watch: "Tao Nanfeng, do you have any manners? My father is so old, and he came here to apologize to you. What else do you want from him? Is it enough for him to die to apologize?"
Tao Nanfeng then raised his eyelids and looked at the father and son: "You are too polite. Since I have said that I will withdraw from the acceptance and will not participate in any projects of your steel plant, I will not go back. There is no point in saying more, please go back."
Zheng Xuxing was very dissatisfied: "Tao Nanfeng, harmony brings wealth, why do you have to block the road all of a sudden? Your cheap sister Feng You is about to graduate from Kyoto University. I heard that she plans to stay in Kyoto to do housing construction. Maybe after going around in circles, everyone will end up in the same circle. Why bother? There are no eternal enemies, only eternal interests."
When Tao Nanfeng heard the name "Feng You", he became interested.
"Didn't you break up with Feng You? How come you know so much about her situation?"
Zheng Meng also squinted his eyes at Zheng Xuxing: "That bitch got you into the police station, why are you still in contact with her! How could she be so shameless? She had to hook you up!"
Zheng Xuxing was startled by his father's glare and hurriedly explained, "After she was admitted to Kyoto University, she wrote me a letter to apologize. We occasionally exchange letters, but have no other contact. I am already married with children, so I won't have anything to do with her. It's just... more friends means more paths, right?"
Before Tao Nanfeng could say anything, Zheng Xuxing looked over.
"Look at Feng You. My mom slapped her in the face, and I cursed her, but she was able to put down her pride, contact me, and apologize. She is also a top student at Kyoto University. She is very generous and capable. You are a graduate student and an expert, yes, but even the most capable people need friends to help them, right?"
It is certain that Feng You is adaptable. Tao Nanfeng knew Feng You's character too well. As long as something was beneficial to her, she would hold on to it. She doesn't care about face, morality, or etiquette.
During these years of graduate school, Feng You and Feng Chun'e disappeared from Tao Nanfeng's life. When Zheng Xuxing suddenly mentioned them, Tao Nanfeng found it a little ridiculous: "You want me to take her as a role model?"
Zheng Xuxing was a little tangled: "My point is that we should let go of those old grudges if we can. Even if the mountains don't change, the waters can change. Why should we be too arrogant?"
Tao Nanfeng said calmly: "Scholars always have their own temper." Not bowing down for a few pieces of silver, even if it is just the ambition of a scholar, is also an ideal.
Zheng Meng and Zheng Xuxing didn't expect that Tao Nanfeng would be so arrogant just after starting his company.
Zheng Xuxing could no longer suppress his inner anxiety. He strode to Tao Nanfeng's desk and slapped him.
"Don't be so shameless! Do you really think you are the only one in Jiangcheng who knows how to diagnose and deal with quality problems in construction projects? Pah!"
Xiangbei came over with Tao Tingzhi, who was crying loudly, and saw Zheng Xuxing slamming the table. He twisted his arm with his right hand and shouted, "What are you doing?!"
Zhizhi's big eyes rolled around, and she stopped crying. She clenched her fists and waved them in the air: "Pooh!"
When Tao Nanfeng saw the mischievous look of the girl, all the unhappiness he had just felt disappeared. He reached out and held Zhizhi in his arms, kissed her cheek, and said gently, "What's wrong with Zhizhi?"
Zhizhi hugged her neck, rubbed her little head against it, and hummed and refused to speak.
Xiangbei said: "She just misses you."
Tao Nanfeng felt warm in his heart. He held his daughter in one hand and patted her back with the other, saying softly, "Zhizhi, be good. Don't cry."
Zheng Xuxing's arm was twisted to the north, causing him to scream in pain.
The more Zheng Meng looked at Tao Nanfeng's loving motherly appearance, the more he couldn't stand it. I don't know where a woman with a baby gets the confidence to be picky and refuse to take this project or that project.
He gritted his teeth and stamped his feet, tore Xiangbei's hand away, pulled Zheng Xuxing and turned away, leaving behind a cruel remark: "I'll see you starve to death!"
Tao Nanfeng shook Zhizhi with one hand, not caring at all.
After the two men left, Xiangbei frowned and said, "The company has just opened, isn't it a little short of staff?"
Tao Nanfeng laughed and said, "It's not open yet, is it? If there is no project, it would cost money to employ so many people?"
As they were talking, a girl with pigtails came over and said, "Sister Tao, can I come to your company for an internship?"
Tao Nanfeng said: "Yao Xiaotao, aren't you preparing for your graduation project? What are you doing here?"
Ever since Yao Xiaotao had caused trouble for Tao Nanfeng in the study room, she had become Tao Nanfeng's little fan girl. Seeing her participating in engineering projects with a big belly and discovering various construction problems while chatting and laughing, she was simply full of admiration for him.
When Yao Xiaotao heard that Tao Nanfeng had opened a company, she came to recommend herself.
"Senior Sister Tao, I don't want any money during the internship. I will help you run the company. I will set up a drawing board next to me to do the design, and you can guide me at the same time, okay?"
Tao Nanfeng glanced towards the north, his eyes moving and a smile on his lips, as if saying: I just said we were short of manpower, and now people are coming?
Yao Xiaotao looked at Tao Nanfeng nervously: "Sister, please let me stay. Although I haven't graduated yet, I can officially come to help you draw pictures after the graduation project defense is over. Your company must have someone to do odd jobs, right? How about trying it first?"
Tao Nanfeng smiled and said, "Okay, then stay."
Yao Xiaotao grinned happily and quickly took the broom to sweep the floor. When she looked up, she saw two large gift boxes on the sofa. She exclaimed, "Ah!" "What is this?"
Tao Nanfeng laughed: "This is what Director Zheng left behind. You can keep it in the reception room and use it if you can."
To celebrate the grand opening, Zheng Meng gave a box of tea and a box of cakes, just right.
Zheng Meng and Zheng Xuxing walked out angrily, but halfway through they remembered that they had not brought back the gifts. They were too embarrassed to go back, so they cursed angrily about what they were drinking.
Zheng Meng said to his son, "Can you still get in touch with Feng You?"
Zheng Xuxing nodded: "Yes."
Zheng Meng snorted: "The enemy of my enemy is my friend. Let's join forces with Feng You to deal with Liao Nanfeng?"
When Zheng Xuxing heard that he was going to deal with Tao Nanfeng, he immediately smiled and said, "Okay, Dad, what do you think we should do?"
Zheng Meng asked, "You said Feng You was planning to build houses in Kyoto. Did she study architecture?"
Zheng Xuxing nodded: "It seems so. Feng You is trying to compete with Tao Nanfeng."
Zheng Meng said, "Feng You must know an engineering mechanics expert in Kyoto. Ask her to find one. I don't believe that we can't get anything done without Tao Nanfeng! Wait until we solve the problem of No. 17 neighborhood, and then come over to slap Tao Nanfeng in the face."
Zheng Xuxing nodded quickly: "Okay, okay! You are really smart! I will contact them right away."
After listening to the lecture from the factory director and secretary, Zheng Meng swore to find Kyoto experts to solve the problem. Secretary Yang asked Zheng Meng to sign a pledge, requiring him to come up with a solution to the problem within half a month and complete the repair project within two months, otherwise he would retire early and give up the position of deputy factory director.
A week later, Feng You, Zhou Ruowei, Zhu Hongxing, a senior engineer and mechanics expert from Kyoto Construction Engineering Bureau, and his assistant Jiang Le came to the 17th neighborhood of Jiangcheng Iron and Steel Plant.
Returning to Jiangcheng, Feng You felt as if he was in another world.
She has the prophet she saw in her dreams and the aura of the protagonist in the book. Once she gave up comparing herself with Tao Nanfeng and concentrated on studying and working, she burst out with great resilience and ability. Although Kyoto University is full of talented people, Feng You has found his own place.
Zhou Ruowei worked in the Housing Construction Office under the Kyoto Construction Department. Under Feng You's guidance, he rose through the ranks. The two of them had a lot in common and got married last year. They were ready to show their talents after Feng You graduated from university.
Feng You was secretly happy when she received the news from her ex-boyfriend Zheng Xuxing.
For one thing, she hadn't heard from Tao Nanfeng for such a long time that she almost forgot about their past grudges. The old matter was brought up again. Feng You was no longer afraid of Xiang Bei's threats and wanted to come back to see how they were doing.
Secondly, Feng You was very happy when he heard that Tao Nanfeng had offended a big customer, Jiangcheng Iron and Steel Plant, as soon as he started his company. Tao Nanfeng is a noble person. If such a person starts a company, it will definitely lose money. So what if she has a postgraduate degree and a father named Tao Shouxin, a professor? Won't she still get hurt?
Feng You must take on the project that Tao Nanfeng refuses to take!
Not only do you have to accept the job, but you also have to do it beautifully, so that Tao Nanfeng can taste the beatings of society.
Not to mention Zhou Ruowei, after he failed in the competition with Tao Nanfeng, he hated her and even suffered a psychological trauma that made him unwilling to stay in Jiang Cheng. This time, he used his personal connections to invite Senior Engineer Zhu Hongxing, who was known as the "Engineering Quality Doctor" in the industry in Kyoto, to take a leave and return to Jiangcheng just to see Tao Nanfeng's depressed face.
Zheng Meng saw Feng You again and shook hands with him with a smile on his face.
"Student Feng You has a bright future. This time it's all thanks to you for introducing Engineer Zhu to us. Thank you so much! Thank you so much!"
He once hated Feng You for leading his son astray, but now that Zheng Xuxing and Feng You have each started their own families, the past grudges have disappeared and the two sides have shaken hands and made peace.
After introducing each other, Zhu Hongxing said seriously: "Let's stop talking nonsense and go take a look at the scene, shall we?"
Zheng Meng and Liang Youkun led the four people into Block 17 and pointed to the pool with a finger-wide crack on the bottom. "It was this pool. When we filled it with water to test the pressure during the inspection, we didn't expect a crack to appear suddenly, and all the water seeped in."
Zhu Hongxing has extensive engineering experience and can tell the crux of the problem at a glance.
