Chen Xingling said "Oh" and replied, "I'm back. There's chili sauce and shacha sauce in the cupboard. You can take them out to dip your dumplings in."
"Wow!" Li Ying excitedly ran to the kitchen: "Second brother, your sister-in-law is back and is making dumplings quickly. I love chili sauce the most! I choose chili sauce!"
Chen Xingling didn't go to the kitchen, but went to the study with his schoolbag.
Little Hu was writing with a pen, as if he was doing a math problem.
Gu Xuan held his chin and thought hard, seemingly stumped by some of the questions.
Chen Xingling walked lightly, put down his schoolbag and walked out without disturbing them.
"Xing'er?" Gu Qi came downstairs holding a stack of newspapers and asked with a smile, "You're back? I have good news for you."
Chen Xingling raised his eyebrows and asked, "What's the good news?"
Gu Qi replied: "Fourth brother is in Luzon Island. He called me earlier. If nothing unexpected happens, he will be able to return to Chongqing within half a month."
"Really?! That's great!" Chen Xingling was very excited and said, "After four whole months, he's finally back!"
Gu Qi looked at her smiling face, his eyes full of doting.
"There is another piece of news - it is probably also good news."
Chen Xingling thought for a moment and asked, "About you? Or about me?"
"Of course it's you." Gu Qi replied.
Chen Xingling couldn't guess it for a while, so she hugged his arm and acted coquettishly.
"I really can't think of it. Don't keep me in suspense. Tell me now!"
Gu Qi chuckled softly, saying, "Old Guo asked me to go to the office the other day and said that the higher-ups have approved four buildings in Linjiang Phase II, all with six floors. There will be four units per floor, 24 units per building, and the last building will be separately arranged, with about 70 units."
"Wow! Can Ayi take care of the whole set?" Chen Xingling asked in surprise, "At least 70 or 80 workers can be taken care of! Ayi should be included, right?"
Gu Qi shook his head: "It's still uncertain. What Lao Guo meant is that the three buildings should be built according to length of service and specific needs. Two floors of the last building should be reserved as suites for workers who have already started a family and are in urgent need of suites. The remaining four floors should be made into workers' dormitories for new single workers to live in."
"Ayi has only worked for a decade." Chen Xingling smiled bitterly, "It's probably impossible. Why don't you let him save up some money and try to buy half of it. If the money is not enough, you can help add some."
Gu Qi didn't have any objection and said, "Let's talk about it later."
Chen Xingling couldn't help but ask, "When will it be completed?"
"I don't know." Gu Qi looked at her with a half-smile and said, "When it can be completed depends on the speed of the contractor."
Chen Xingling thought for a moment and said, "The main problem with high-rise buildings is the foundation, but it's not that difficult to build other floors one by one. It's actually faster to build a building, especially since the decoration will be much simpler."
After a pause, she asked, "What does this have to do with me? Good news?"
Gu Qi helped her brush her hair off her forehead and said softly, "Old Guo said that he hopes you will be able to build the second phase."
What? ? ! ! !
"Really?!" Chen Xingling asked in disbelief, "Let us take it all? One building or all of them?"
Gu Qi smiled, "He said that if you have enough manpower and can finish the project within half an hour, he will hand it over to you. The first phase was delayed for a long time, and the workers in the factory are not professionals. In the end, the work was long and tedious, and it took nearly two days to complete. Lao Guo said that he didn't want to continue like this, so he decided to hand it over to professionals. As for the specific amount, we have to refer to the situation of the first phase to reduce it a little."
"When are we going to talk?" Chen Xingling couldn't wait any longer and asked with a smile, "Who is responsible for this?"
Gu Qi replied: "Brother Liu is the main person in charge, and the director of the logistics department is the second person in charge. You don't have to worry. Go talk to Lao Guo when you are free tomorrow or the day after tomorrow."
"No problem!" Chen Xingling said excitedly, "Just now I was discussing with Dali about finding a job. We were at a loss as to whether to advertise or not. It's really like when you are at the end of your rope, there is always light at the end of the tunnel!"
Gu Qi smiled and explained, "Last time, Lao Guo couldn't keep his promise, and he felt sorry. Later, he heard that you didn't mind at all, and he felt embarrassed. He heard that you have a master who has built high-rise buildings and has dozens of workers under him, so he began to plan to hand over the second phase of the project to you. But the superiors hadn't approved it at the time, so we can only wait."
It's like this now!
Chen Xingling couldn't help but sigh: "That's really a blessing in disguise!"
"Yes." Gu Qi was sincerely happy for her and said, "The 'Alpine Garden' you built is very beautiful and its reputation has spread throughout Chongqing. Lao Guo is not an emotional person and would not hand over such a large project to you just for a little apology. He told me that he was invited to visit the 'Alpine Garden' last month, and the owner enthusiastically introduced that it was you and Dali who helped him build the garden. Lao Guo is very satisfied with your architectural style and design sense, so he trusts you so much."
Chen Xingling laughed and said, "Tomorrow Dali and I will go to the Xizheng Building to discuss with Director Guo in detail."
"Okay." Gu Qi said, "Old Guo said that you will be responsible for the work, and Brother Liu will be responsible for the specific design and drawings. He said that he is over 60, and his ideas are gradually unable to keep up with the mainstream of social development. He likes it, but young people may not like it. It is more appropriate for Brother Liu to be in charge."
"As expected of Lao Guo!" Chen Xingling praised: "Good leader!"
At this time, Gu Yi called out, "It's time to eat dumplings! Hot chive dumplings! Mom and Xiao Xing made big dumplings that smell so good!"
Chen Xingling hurriedly pulled Gu Qi to the kitchen.
Xiao Huzi and Gu Xuan also smelled the fragrance of leeks and ran over, dropping their paper and pens.
Everyone gathered around the table and started eating happily.
Gu Qi took the opportunity to share this good news with everyone.
Zhao Xiaoxing was pleasantly surprised and asked, "Sister-in-law, can we start working now? I—I feel much better now! I can't wait to start working and making money!"
"No hurry, no hurry." Chen Xingling replied with a smile: "We will go to talk to Director Guo tomorrow. After the negotiation is settled, we will draw the design drawings, and then we can sign the contract and start construction. If it's fast, it will take half a month, and if it's slow, it will probably take more than a month."
Master Mok has excellent design skills, works seriously and hard, and will work overtime to complete any new tasks. However, it will definitely take more time to make changes until the customer is satisfied.
The design of the first floor facing the river was somewhat wasteful of space, and the arrangement of the corridor was not very reasonable. She would take Master Mo to visit it, and try to avoid the mistakes and loopholes in the past, and try to design a better sense of space, more practical and more beautiful.
Gu Yi was overjoyed and asked expectantly, "Sister-in-law, if we can live in the factory, it would definitely be better. First of all, our family lives close to each other and can take care of each other. In addition, if we live in the factory, we will know everyone inside and outside, and it will be safer. If you want to build it - then we will wait! We will not buy a house outside for the time being. When you build it, we will pay for the half-buy and half-sell house."
"Let's try and see." Chen Xingling said with a smile, "It's definitely cheaper to buy in the factory than outside, and the environment is better. In the meantime, we'll build along the river, so every apartment should be able to see the river view. The river breeze is strong, and it's cool and humid in the summer, and there's also a beautiful river view. Of course, it's better to choose a factory."
