Zhu Weidong couldn't find anyone and stood on the road in a daze.
Ji Ling walked back to her residence and waited for a while in her room, but she didn't see Zhu Weidong coming back. She was stunned for a moment before she remembered that this man had face blindness and poor direction.
She immediately went out to look for him again, and sure enough, not far away, she saw Zhu Weidong coming back alone in the cover of night.
When he got there, Zhu Weidong's forehead was covered with sweat. "Xiaoling, I'm sorry, I just lost you."
Ji Ling: Facing his sincere eyes, she couldn't bear to be angry anymore.
She sighed, "Let's go back to the house first."
Zhu Yaowu and the others had already rested, so naturally they didn't know that the couple had a small conflict.
The winter here is very cold, and it snowed the next day. Apart from eating, everyone stayed in the hotel.
At the camp, after Zhu Weidong left, new problems arose at the engineering department. Lian Qizhen rushed over, but the progress came to a standstill. After Lian Qizhen's instructions, new problems soon arose as they followed her method.
Lian Qizhen also had a headache. What she had learned before was all from books and had no practice. In the past six months since she returned to work in China, she had mostly been working on drawings. Zhu Weidong pointed out how to avoid possible problems.
But after three days, Lian Qizhen was beginning to feel overwhelmed, mainly because of problems on her side and the project came to a halt.
There are hundreds of people in front of us, and countless more are working behind the scenes. So much money, manpower and material resources have been invested, but now the project has been stopped. Every day it is stopped is a loss.
At this time, Yuan Sheng also received a call from above, asking about Lian Qizhen's work situation here.
Yuan Sheng told the truth, but he couldn't hide the current situation. "She used to work with Zhu Weidong, so she couldn't see anything and didn't think anything was wrong. Three days ago, Zhu Weidong asked for leave, and now there is a problem with the project. Even the engineers can't solve it. The project has stopped today."
Listening to the above words, Yuan Sheng frowned, finally responded with a "yes" and hung up the phone.
After hanging up the phone, Yuan Sheng started to have a headache. His superiors asked him to call Zhu Weidong back immediately, criticized him for giving Zhu Weidong a vacation at this time, and accused him of mistakes in his leadership work.
How could he not know the difference between the important and the unimportant? At that time, he was thinking that Lian Qizhen had just returned from abroad and Zhu Weidong was only away for a few days, so what serious incident could happen?
Who would have thought that Lian Qizhen could not bear the burden at all and stopped working after only three days.
He called out to the door, "Xiao Gao."
As soon as the voice fell, there was a response from outside. Xiao Gao pushed the door open and walked in, "Director, you called me."
"Go to the city and bring Engineer Zhu back. Tell him that there's a problem here and ask him to come back immediately." Yuan Sheng directly directed his anger at the assistant. "If Engineer Zhu doesn't come back, I'll punish you."
Xiao Gao responded and went out. Without caring about being angry about being implicated, he found a driver and rushed to the city as soon as possible.
The driver was Xiao Chen, who was usually assigned to Zhu Weidong. When Zhu Weidong was not around, he had some free time.
The two of them were driving on the road and they didn't stop talking, so they started chatting.
"The news that Engineer Zhu's wife was driven away has now spread privately. It's no wonder that Engineer Zhu is angry."
Xiao Gao was brought here by Director Yuan, and he is considered his right-hand man. "Do you always say that?"
Xiao Chen nodded, "Chief Chen, you don't know yet, do you?"
Gao Chao said, "I follow Director Yuan. Who dares to say this in front of me?"
He frowned, "It looks like this is going to be troublesome."
I thought it was over, but now people below are talking about it, and some are targeting Director Yuan.
Gao Chao was anxious, but he knew he couldn't turn back, so he could only talk to the director again in the evening.
Everyone discussed this matter in private. Xiao Chen and Gao Chao said that they were not afraid of being blamed by Director Yuan.
It was already dark when the two men arrived in the city. If they found the person and rushed back to the camp, it would probably be dawn.
But the two did not dare to delay and started looking from the largest hotel, and they actually found the person.
It’s just that the person went out to eat and hasn’t come back yet.
The two men didn't dare to walk around, so they sat in the hotel lobby and waited. At around eleven o'clock in the evening, as soon as Zhu Weidong and his friends entered the hotel, Gao Chao immediately went to greet them.
"Engineer Zhu, you are finally back. The construction site has been shut down. The director asked me to ask you to go back immediately."
Zhu Weidong asked, "Why did the work stop?"
"She said there was a problem and even the engineer went there and adjusted the plan, but a new problem arose the next day and she didn't know how to solve it, so she stopped working." Gao Chao looked embarrassed.
Zhu Weidong knew that the situation was urgent. He turned around and said to his wife, "Xiaoling, be careful on your way back tomorrow. I have to rush back to the camp now. I will ask for leave and go home when I am no longer busy."
"Be careful and don't worry about us. We will call you when we get home." Ji Ling reminded him, then turned back and told Xiao Chen to drive slowly.
After busy seeing Zhu Weidong and the other two off, Ji Ling and the other three went back to rest.
In fact, they didn't just come to see Zhu Weidong, and Zhu Weidong was planning to go back tomorrow.
He left to ask for leave knowing that there would be no problem, but he did not expect something unexpected to happen in the middle.
Zhu Weidong and his two companions returned to the camp in the morning. Without resting, they went straight to the construction site.
Lian Qizhen has been at the construction site and has not returned to the camp. Although the work has been stopped, she is still thinking about solutions.
Only two days passed and she still hadn't thought of a good plan. Until Zhu Weidong came back, she smiled with joy.
"You are finally back."
Zhu Weidong ignored her and went straight to the design drawing. "What did you change?"
Lian Qizhen pursed her lips, the smile on her face faded, she pointed out the places she had modified, and then pointed out what went wrong. In fact, there were other engineers present, but Zhu Weidong and Lian Qizhen were considered chief engineers, and they were not allowed to object to the decisions made by Lian Qizhen.
When Zhu Weidong saw the part that Lian Qizhen had modified, he said coldly, "How far did you repair this section?"
"About a thousand meters."
“It was demolished immediately.”
"Tear it down?" Others whispered, "That would be a huge loss."
"If it's not demolished, the whole road will be ruined." After Zhu Weidong said this, no one dared to question it.
Lian Qizhen's face turned pale. She had modified the route of more than a thousand meters. If it was dismantled, it would mean that there was something wrong with her design. As the chief engineer, she would definitely be held accountable for such a big mistake.
Zhu Weidong didn't look at her. He took the pen and began to modify the road design. After Zhu Weidong gave the order to demolish the road that had been built two days ago, the workers immediately became busy again.
People gradually left the office, and only Lian Qizhen stayed. She looked at Zhu Weidong who was drawing the car seriously, and wanted to speak several times, but she didn't know what to say.
Before dark, Zhu Weidong came up with a new plan and gathered everyone together, including the construction engineers and supervisors. After he came up with his own design plan, he asked everyone to point out any deficiencies and he would then solve them.
Fortunately, everything went smoothly and everyone agreed with the design.
