Chapter 248

Meng Huaiqing was startled, then smiled cunningly, "Isn't your third brother my third brother?"

Qin Xiang stumbled and almost fell, looking at Meng Huaiqing's laughter, "You seem to have forgotten that my third brother seems to be two years younger than you."

"So what." Meng Huaiqing smiled cunningly, "But I look younger than him, right?"

Qin Xiang stood outside the car, looking at the factory surrounded by walls and the messy environment around, and couldn't help laughing, "I will tell my third brother this."

After that, Qin Xiang went to the temporary office.

Mi Hongjun is in charge here, but Mi Hongjun is very busy and has to coordinate other policies with Yong'an County, so two of their own people stayed here to supervise the construction. When they saw Qin Xiang coming, they hurried out, "Boss."

Qin Xiang looked at the house that was laying the foundation and said, "Did you say how long it will take to build it?"

Li Ming said hurriedly, "I asked before, and they said it would take more than three months at the fastest."

"More than three months?" Qin Xiang frowned, "More than three months for so many people?"

Although the storefront she had in the capital was small, her father had few people and was not as experienced as these people. Even the house built in Suzhou did not take that long, and now this team has at least a hundred people, and it takes more than three months?

Li Ming hesitated to speak, Qin Xiang said directly, "If you have something to say, just say it."

Li Ming was about to speak, Meng Huaiqing came over, Qin Xiang asked, "He said the foreman said the construction period here will take more than three months."

"More than three months?" Meng Huaiqing has built several buildings and has some understanding of the construction period.

Building a factory building is different from building a residential building. Building a factory building is three-story, and the first and second floors are not divided so finely. Even the staff dormitories are small rooms that are neatly organized. So many people can't use it for that long.

Li Ming said, "I have found these days that many of them are just slacking off and not doing their job seriously. They started working together, but Mr. Meng's progress is much faster. I also communicated with the foreman, but he said that he didn't understand their contracting team and asked me not to mix things up and delay things. He also said that the land here is different from that there, so it will be slower." After

hearing what he said, Qin Xiang understood, "I remember that their wages are based on the number of days. Calculated?"

Li Ming nodded, "Yes, because the construction period is uncertain, we have to follow the heavenly book to calculate."

Qin Xiang laughed, "This is taking us for granted. You go and tell them that if the progress cannot reach the progress of the other party within a week, I will replace them. They are employees of state-owned units and I don't care. If they really want to make trouble, I will go directly to the county to find the leaders."

Li Ming hesitated, "Is it okay? What if they give us inferior products as good ones?"

"Then what are you doing here?" Qin Xiang looked at him with a smile, "You are here to supervise them, not just to watch them work, but you also went with them to purchase those materials. Didn't Assistant Liu also take you with him when he was purchasing? Don't you know how to learn?"

Li Ming saw that Qin Xiang was angry and nodded quickly, "I understand, I'll go now."

After that, Li Ming went to find the foreman.

Meng Huaiqing said, "I guess they will come to make trouble soon."

Qin Xiang smiled, "Of course they will come. If the construction period is shortened, they will earn less money, and no one will be happy."

As the two were talking, they saw a man in his forties coming over with an impatient look on his face. When he came up, he glanced at Qin Xiang and said, "Boss Qin, right?"

Qin Xiang nodded, "It's me."

"You city people probably have never seen a house being built, so you don't know the construction period of building a house. It's not that simple. It has something to do with the soil and so on. They are progressing faster over there, and you can't ask us to catch up with the progress without knowing anything. If there is a problem with the house being built, who will we blame?"

The other person had an honest and down-to-earth face, and it was easy to believe when he said this with a frown.

But Qin Xiang is not only in her twenties, and she has met a lot of people. Some people rely on their honest faces to deceive others.

The foreman's nice words are just excuses.

They all saw it, and he could say such things without changing his expression, which shows that the other party is a veteran.

But think about the state-owned units nowadays, it's not surprising, many units are facing such a situation.

After listening to her, Qin Xiang smiled, "Okay, you make sense."

"Anything else?" Captain Lu thought Qin Xiang was convinced by his words, and said directly, "Don't make a fuss about this kind of thing in the future. You are young and don't understand. Since we have assumed the responsibility of construction, we must build it well."

After that, he snorted and left.

Qin Xiang's smile was faint, Li Ming worriedly said, "Boss, what should we do?" Meng

Huaiqing listened and didn't say anything, but kept looking at Qin Xiang, "What do you want to do?"

Qin Xiang didn't answer but asked Li Ming, "Are there deputy foremen for a foreman?"

"Yes, but they are not called foremen, but team leaders, and there is a deputy team leader." Li Ming has been here for a long time and knows everything about the place. Hearing Qin Xiang say this, he felt a little strange, "You want to find him?"

Qin Xiang nodded, "Yes, they must have a bad relationship, right?"

"It's not good. We always quarrel. I think Deputy Captain Jia is a better person."

Qin Xiang was satisfied. "You go find Deputy Captain Jia secretly and tell him that I invite him to dinner in Capital City in the evening. Remember to do it secretly."

Li Ming didn't understand Qin Xiang's approach. "Aren't they all in the same group? Why should we look for him?"

Qin Xiang didn't want to explain to him. He went to the office to find paper and pen, wrote a note and handed it to Li Ming. "Go find him if I tell you to. Remember to give this note to him. Don't let anyone see it."

Li Ming was a little confused and felt that his brain was not enough.

But Qin Xiang obviously didn't want to explain to him, and only said to Meng Huaiqing, "Let's go to your place and take a look?"

"Let's go."

The two turned around and drove away. Captain Lu spat on the ground and said, "She looks serious, but she relies on men for her face. How can she endure it?"

Jia Fugui, who was working not far away, raised his head and frowned, "She is our current employer. You should be polite. She is the one who pays us."

"So what if it's her? We work here and she dares not pay us? I'll smash it with a hammer." Captain Lu was arrogant and fierce, his eyes were no longer honest, he looked around fiercely and scolded, "What are you looking at, why don't you work quickly."

Captain Lu was a little strange, did Qin Xiang really just call him over for questioning? Just for those two sentences?

I always felt that something was wrong.

His wife said before that she wanted his sister-in-law to work in the clothing factory, but I don't know if it will work.

Jia Fugui was too lazy to argue with him, so he straightened up and walked forward. Captain Lu shouted, "Why are you not here? Why are you watching me?"

Jia Fugui didn't even raise his head, "I'm going to the toilet."

From a distance, Li Ming felt that his chance had come, so he hurried to the toilet with the note in his pocket.

The toilet on the construction site was not fancy, just a simple shed. When Li Ming passed by, Jia Fugui had already finished his work and came out.

When the two passed by, Li Ming directly stuffed the note into Jia Fugui's hand, just like they did before.

Jia Fugui was stunned. When he turned around, Li Ming had already gone to the toilet. He stroked the note, found a quiet place to take a look, and was surprised.

On the other hand, Qin Xiang and Meng Huaiqing went to the factory opposite and saw a larger and faster-progressing project.

Qin Xiang was depressed, "Is my luck so bad? Or do the county leaders want to please you more?"

"What are you thinking about?" Meng Huaiqing reached out and tapped her head, and said with a smile, "Because this team has more people, they came to build mine. If you think it's unfair, you can change teams. Anyway, they get the same salary."

The two of them talked and turned around. A team leader named Liu came over here. He didn't waste time and reported to Meng Huaiqing the progress of the project and the subsequent problems that needed to be solved one by one.

Qin Xiang asked, "How long will it take to complete this project?"

Captain Liu said, "It's not too hot now, we can start early in the morning and basically finish it in about two months."

Qin Xiang was even more depressed after hearing this. Her factory was much smaller than the electronics factory. Although there were fewer workers, it didn't make much difference, but the construction period was a full month later.

One month's wages, plus the renovation, meant that the factory's operation would have to be delayed, which would greatly affect the production and stocking of clothing in the autumn and winter seasons.

Qin Xiang asked, "If you were to do the project on the opposite side, how long would it take to complete it?"

Captain Liu looked at her in surprise, and understood what he meant. He smiled and said, "It's hard for us to say, we have never built a clothing factory."

Qin Xiang understood what he said. This man obviously knew what kind of person Captain Lu was and was unwilling to offend him.

Qin Xiang didn't want to embarrass him, so she didn't ask any more questions.

Meng Huaiqing knew more about this aspect after all, and asked more questions around the factory, and let him get busy. Seeing that Qin Xiang was still depressed, he smiled, "Haven't you thought of a solution?"

"Thinking of it is one thing, but it doesn't make me depressed." Qin Xiang said unhappily, "What a crap thing."

Maybe she had been too smooth all the way, and now she really felt bad when she encountered such a thing.

After watching here, the two drove away.

In the evening, the two arrived at the hotel she notified as scheduled. She booked a private room in the hotel. When she entered, she saw Jia Fugui had already arrived.

Seeing them come in, Jia Fugui stood up quickly, "Boss Qin, Boss Meng."

Jia Fugui came over, actually very nervous, because the note written by Qin Xiang only had one sentence besides the time and address: Do you want to be the captain?

This made Jia Fugui a little flustered, as if his thoughts were seen through.

He felt a little uneasy sitting there, and Qin Xiang soothed him, "You don't have to be so nervous, we're just chatting casually. I'll ask about things on the construction site."

Jia Fugui smiled, "Didn't you ask Captain Lu today?"

Qin Xiang looked at him and said directly, "I did ask, but I don't trust him. I think Captain Jia is more reliable, and I trust Captain Jia's words more."

The name Captain Jia made Jia Fugui even more nervous, "You ask, and I will answer."

Qin Xiang learned and applied on the spot, and asked a few questions that Meng Huaiqing had asked Captain Liu in the afternoon. Although Jia Fugui's answers were halting, they were much clearer than what Captain Lu said.

Qin Xiang did not beat around the bush, "I am very dissatisfied with your current construction team. In fact, I really want to replace all of you."

Hearing this, Jia Fugui raised his head and said in surprise, "But, but this is a project given to us by the county government..."

"It is indeed a project given to you by the county government, but without my investment in building the factory, can the county government just give you a project out of thin air?" Qin Xiang said bluntly, "You are just bullying me because I don't understand these things, so you just use some lame excuses to fool me and delay my construction period. You probably forgot that I am the one who pays you. You are not doing your job well, so can't I change people? If they don't let me change, then I can only move to another place together with the electronics factory. I believe that many counties will welcome us very much."

She was telling the truth, and she was not being willful and boasting. As long as she said it, Meng Huaiqing would definitely let her do it, not to mention that she was just using this matter to scare Jia Fugui.

Jia Fugui couldn't help but look at Meng Huaiqing. Meng Huaiqing smiled and nodded, "She's right. As for the cost of starting work now, I don't care about this little money."

Jia Fugui's face turned pale. Although the construction team is state-owned, his brother and brother-in-law are also there. If they are driven away, they will have no livelihood.

He suddenly thought of the note Qin Xiang handed to him, and asked hurriedly, "What should I do to become the captain?"
