Chapter 133 A Perfect Match... This guy is really...
Fu Yun was overjoyed and quickly invited the two into the main hall.
The fact that Qian Qingling came to see him at this time must mean that the Empress had made arrangements.
As Fu Yun had expected, Qian Qingling got straight to the point as soon as he sat down: "Young Master Su, you must have heard about the flood in Qingzhou. His Majesty sent me and a civil official to Qingzhou to manage the flood and, incidentally, to suppress the ambitions of those enemy generals on the Qingzhou border."
Fu Yun nodded, deeply agreeing with Zhi Lan's decision: "You are indeed the most suitable person to go."
He paused for a moment, then asked, "Is there a solution to the flood problem?"
Qian Qingling said, "We'll have to decide based on the actual situation after we get to Qingzhou. If only a small number of villages are flooded, we'll resettle the disaster victims on the spot and provide them with necessary assistance after the heavy rain so they can return to their normal lives."
"But if most villages have been submerged and the villagers can no longer move in, then we can only relocate them to other towns and let them move back after the weather stabilizes and the rain stops next year. However, some poor villagers are already struggling to survive, and they may not have enough money to build a new house or rent a place to live. It is highly likely that these disaster victims will end up on the streets."
Fu Yun looked up and stared directly at Qian Qingling: "You came to me to ask if I have any other, more comprehensive solutions?"
Qian Qingling nodded and replied truthfully, "To be honest, the houses you've built during this period are extremely practical, and I believe they can also be used for emergency situations in Qingzhou City. However, transporting such large houses there is a major problem."
Fu Jun frowned slightly, but did not respond for the time being.
He turned his head to look at the table, casually picked up a cup of tea, took a small sip, and looked calm, as if he was deep in thought.
After a moment, he said, “Such a big house is indeed a major problem to transport. Even if we think of a way to transport it, using prefabricated houses as residences is not a long-term solution. If we encounter a long-lasting storm like in Qingzhou, the prefabricated houses will be useless because they are only made of anti-corrosion wood and are not as sturdy as houses. Other problems will arise then.”
Cheng Jincheng, looking excited, quickly replied, "That's exactly what I just said to General Qian, which is why she came to you to discuss whether there are any other solutions."
Seeing Cheng Jincheng's expression that seemed to ask for praise and approval, Fu Yun was both amused and exasperated: "Yes, you've thought of everything."
Cheng Jincheng raised his eyebrows, his joy visibly evident.
Qian Qingling sighed, a worried look on her face: "Then we can only prepare for the worst."
Fu Jun shook his head calmly: "There's no need to be so pessimistic. There are solutions. You can cover the surface of the prefabricated house with another layer of sheet metal or copper to strengthen its resistance to long-term water corrosion. However, this will increase the cost of the prefabricated house. I don't recommend doing this unless absolutely necessary."
After a moment of silence, he suggested, "Instead of spending so much money to build steel-framed houses, we should use the funds to hire craftsmen to dig canals and divert the overflowing river water to rivers in other towns. With multiple rivers sharing the water load, the flood problem will naturally be solved."
Before Qian Qingling could respond, Fu Yun continued, "Of course, if the flood is very severe, this method will also have drawbacks. It may cause the floodwaters to spread eastward, affecting other towns and villages. Therefore, the best solution is to come up with a permanent solution to eliminate the problem."
Qian Qingling's eyes lit up, and her tone became slightly urgent: "Have you thought of a more comprehensive method?"
Fu Yun said confidently, "There is a way, but if only you and that civil official go, I'm afraid we won't have enough manpower."
Qian Qingling immediately said, "I can request Your Majesty to send more people."
Fu Yun shook his head, glanced at Cheng Jincheng, and said truthfully, "My method is rather novel and bold. If you can't understand my ideas, sending more people won't be very effective. Originally, I should have gone with you, but I can't get away at the moment, and I'm worried about His Majesty. So, I want Lao Cheng to go with you. He is the one who understands my ideas the best and will implement them according to my plan and ideas."
Cheng Jincheng was slightly taken aback, then his expression softened: "So you trust me that much?"
He grinned and said, "It wasn't for nothing that I considered you my boss and treated you like a brother."
Fu Yun couldn't help but laugh when she saw Cheng Jincheng's silly look. She patted him on the shoulder and said, "Just tell me if you're willing to go or not."
"Of course," Cheng Jincheng replied without hesitation, "Since you approve of me so much, I'm definitely willing to go!"
“But…” He frowned, looking somewhat worried: “If I go to Qingzhou, what will happen to our fitness training camp?”
Fu Jun sighed: "I'll have to fill in for now."
Cheng Jincheng's gaze swept over Fu Yun, and he hesitated before asking, "Are you capable of this?"
Fu Jun said dismissively, "Don't forget, I'm a fitness enthusiast too."
When Fu Yun was the CEO of the group, fitness was a daily routine, and he also hired many personal trainers, so he was naturally familiar with fitness programs.
Cheng Jincheng slapped his forehead: "Look at me, I forgot you were originally a big shot."
He immediately agreed: "Alright, I'll go on a long trip for you. When I return from Qingzhou, you'd better reward me handsomely."
Qian Qingling looked at Fu Yun, then at Cheng Jincheng, her eyes filled with doubt: "You two have only known each other for a few months, right? Why do you two sound like you've known each other for a long time?"
Cheng Jincheng's face fell slightly, but he quickly made amends: "Don't take offense, we hit it off immediately, and it felt just like the first time we met. Besides, the depth of friendship has little to do with how long we've known each other. It's rare to find a true friend in life, and when you finally do, wouldn't you feel like you've known each other for ages?"
Fu Yun immediately got goosebumps and felt a chill: "..." This guy is really nauseating.
Qian Qingling looked suspicious, glanced at Fu Yun, then at Cheng Jincheng. Seeing that Fu Yun only shrugged slightly but did not refute, she ultimately said nothing more.
Cheng Jincheng changed the subject at the opportune moment: "Boss, what's your plan?"
Fu Yun straightened his expression and asked, "Have you ever heard the saying, 'When you encounter a mountain, carve a road; when you encounter a river, build a bridge'?"
Cheng Jincheng's eyes widened: "Holy crap! You're thinking of going down the infrastructure route?"
He exclaimed in shock, "Isn't your idea a bit too ambitious?"
"I thought you chose to go into business just to give yourself a foothold, but I never expected you to take the big path, where every little thing you do has far-reaching consequences!"
Fu Yun waved his hand, stopping Cheng Jincheng from continuing the conversation: "There's no point in saying more. Now that we've encountered this situation, there's no reason for us to stand idly by."
He glanced at the sunlight outside the hall and suggested, "It's almost lunchtime now, why don't you two stay here for lunch? I've prepared the plan and implementation materials, and you can take them to Qingzhou to determine the best implementation plan based on the situation there."
After thinking for a moment, he added, "Be sure to bring more craftsmen with you, just in case."
Upon hearing this, Qian Qingling's solemn expression softened considerably, and her tone revealed a hint of gratitude: "Thank you for your trouble, Young Master Su."
Fu Yun smiled slightly: "No need to be so polite, we are all trying to relieve His Majesty's worries."
Qian Qingling was slightly taken aback, then nodded.
Fu Yun told Qian Qingling to rest there for a while while he went to his study to prepare materials.
Qian Qingling nodded, offering no objection.
When Fu Yun got up to go to the study, she also took Cheng Jincheng with her.
On the way to the study, Fu Yun explained, "Simply giving you the information won't be enough. You need to understand it thoroughly. I will explain the important details to you. Take a pen and write them down, and make notes. Otherwise, when we are thousands of miles apart, you will be in a situation where you can't find me to answer your questions."
Cheng Jincheng replied, "Even if you don't say it, I will still ask to follow you."
He scratched the back of his head, his expression becoming reserved: "I'm not afraid to tell you this, but I majored in architectural design in college. I just entered the fitness industry because I'm passionate about fitness. My family scolded me a lot, saying that I wasted my degree from a top university."
Fu Jun raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised: "So, we almost became colleagues."
Cheng Jincheng shrugged: "Who can argue with that! However, I only interned at a construction company for half a year, and I haven't been involved in the construction industry since then."
Fu Yun asked bluntly, "Can you draw blueprints?"
Cheng Jincheng immediately declared, "Of course I can. I received scholarships every year in college, and my professional skills are definitely up to par."
Fu Jun was satisfied: "That would be perfect, it would make communication between us much easier."
He exclaimed, "I never expected that you would not only be a top student, but also a true all-rounder."
Cheng Jincheng was overjoyed by the praise: "Absolutely."
Upon entering the study, Fu Yun wrote a planning document while instructing Cheng Jincheng to draw up construction drawings according to his requirements.
His plan was that after Qian Qingling and Cheng Jincheng arrived in Qingzhou, the first thing they would do was to send all the disaster victims to nearby towns as temporary shelters to ensure their personal safety.
However, it is not a forced relocation of their entire families, but rather to make room for the renovation of their houses. Once the renovation project is completed, they can move back to their hometowns and no longer have to go through the hassle of traveling back and forth due to flooding issues.
In places prone to flooding during periods of heavy rainfall, the problem usually stems from poorly constructed foundations when houses were built, resulting in low ground levels. As a result, rising river levels inevitably lead to flooding.
The only solution is to use modern building methods, driving deep piles into the ground to raise the overall ground level far above the river's water level, and digging more diversion ditches to ensure smooth water flow at all times, thus eliminating concerns about rising river levels.
This is similar to modern underground sewers. With the flow of water in all directions, even the heaviest rain can be cleared away, thus solving the long-standing problem of flooding.
The villagers wouldn't have to leave their hometown, so why not?
Of course, neither the villagers nor the local officials could afford to pay for these disaster relief efforts; the funds had to be drawn from the national treasury.
As for the construction method of the mobile prefabricated houses, Fu Yun also wrote it into the planning document. If such mobile prefabricated houses are needed at certain times, Cheng Jincheng can ask Qian Qingling to help him build them.
Fu Yun had considered all kinds of unexpected situations and provided corresponding solutions for each one. As long as Cheng Jincheng worked steadily and forged ahead, there would be no problem.
Cheng Jincheng's journey to Qingzhou with Qian Qingling will be the most new challenge of his life, and also a chance for him to grow the fastest.
Once he returns to Lingzhou City after his trip to Qingzhou, the previously drafted third phase of the business plan can be officially implemented.
Fu Yun is full of expectations for his future business empire, and Cheng Jincheng will be the best partner for him to expand his business empire.
After the three finished their lunch, Fu Yun explained things to Qian Qingling in detail and then carefully reconciled with Cheng Jincheng before finally seeing Qian Qingling off from the Su residence.
Qian Qingling said that he needed to return to the palace to report to His Majesty and prepare the necessary manpower before setting off for Qingzhou immediately.
She suggested that Cheng Jincheng leave with her, so that he wouldn't have to go looking for her later.
Fu Yun had no objection and readily allowed Cheng Jincheng to leave with her.
That afternoon, Qian Qingling and Cheng Jincheng embarked on their journey to Qingzhou.
The next morning, after having breakfast, Fu Yun went straight to the fitness training camp.
