Chapter 171: Going to the Construction Site

"I know, Xiao Feng, just relax, I'm fine. You just need to send the contract and let me know." I said.

Xiao Feng said okay and hung up.

This is equivalent to selling half of Da Heng Group.

My heart ached a little.

What's the point of saving Da Heng Group like this,

Damn, even if we save it, we still have to give Director Qi five hundred million.

I was pacing back and forth in the room,

constantly waving my fists,

I didn't know whom to vent my anger at.

It's really annoying, Southern Group dug a pit for me,

Director Qi and Yang Tao also want to threaten me.

What should I do from now on?

The new building's launch, Kong Shi doesn't allow it. After Kong Shi finds out, will he be furious? Kong Shi is really furious—can we count on Niu Ju's side?

Moreover, Director Qi has retired—can he really help me?

Nothing has an answer.

I spent the whole morning in anxiety,

Shi Yong, Sun Dajun, Ya Li, and everyone else from the company went to the stadium.

Today, the launch of Guanghua Yuan No. 1 Building—how are the sales?

I don't even want to think about it further.

Even if it sells well, we still have Southern Group's debt, and Director Qi on top of that—just thinking about it is damn pointless.

By noon, Xiao Feng sent me a message saying the contract had already been passed to Yang Tao.

I replied: Okay.

At noon I also didn't eat, just kept smoking.

Who could understand the anxiety in my heart?

At six in the evening, Shi Yong called me,

"Brother, the evening party starts sharply at seven; the venue is packed, many people have come to our sales office to inquire about the houses—looks like today's units will sell like hotcakes. Come over quickly, I'll drive to pick you up."

I said over the phone, "Shi Yong, I'm not going. You and Sun Dajun will definitely showcase our group's advantages at the venue and have Xiao Fang promote them."

Shi Yong said, "Xiao Fang already said there's a segment specifically introducing Da Heng Group; she'll present it herself. Brother, rest assured—I advise you to still come to the venue."

Feel the atmosphere on site, and you'll know our units will definitely sell big,

"This is just one development—hah, once the other developments launch, they'll sell out completely." Shi Yong said happily.

I could only smile and say, "Shi Yong, as long as we sell big tonight, we must properly thank Miss Xiao Fang. Have Ya Li prepare the money, promise to refund the ticket money to customers—make sure it's honored."

Shi Yong said, "Ya Li is already at the stadium sales office, she set up a special refund counter; I just asked Ya Li—over ten people have paid deposits, and Ya Li is giving double cash refunds."

I said, "Okay, let's strive to sell out this entire building today."

"Don't worry, brother, it will definitely be done." Shi Yong said happily.

After Shi Yong hung up the phone,

I, alone in the room, grew increasingly annoyed.

So I took out my phone to contact Li Ming, asking what he was up to, wanting to chat with him.

Li Ming said, "I'm with He Qing at the stadium preparing to watch the performance. Brother, you arranged for someone to send me tickets, but you forgot—He Qing wants to see Da Yi Ge."

I laughed, "I really forgot, go ahead and watch. This Da Yi Ge sings really well."

Li Ming then hung up.

After hanging up Li Ming's phone,

I again contacted Shi Jinhe to ask if he was at the construction site,

I wanted to go to the construction site to have a look.

Shi Jinhe replied, "I'm at Guanghua Yuan No. 2 Building, indoors, working overtime on the geothermal pipe installation."

I said, "Have you eaten?"

Shi Jinhe said, "No, I had the construction site cafeteria keep a meal for me."

I said, "I haven't eaten either—I'm heading over to the construction site to take a look."

Shi Jinhe said, "Brother, today we're not holding an event at the stadium; the new building is launching—why would you come to the construction site to do nothing?"

I said, "Sun Dajun and the others are busy there, they don't need me; I'm alone at the company, bored stiff. I just want to go to the construction site to have a look."

"Okay, I'll have the cafeteria prepare some extra dishes—come over for a drink." Shi Jinhe said.

I then remembered something,

"Jinghe, contact Xiao Shitou and ask what he's up to; if he's free, have him come to Guanghua Yuan—I want to chat with him."

"Okay, I'll call Xiao Shitou right now—I don't know if he's watched the performance." Shi Jinhe said.

I hung up on Shi Jinhe and left the office.

I can now walk basically like a normal person, thanks to Dean Yang's treatment.

It allows me to walk this quickly,

I went to the company's motor pool and found there wasn't a single driver with a vehicle—everyone had gone to the stadium to help.

Looks like to go to the construction site, I need to take a taxi.

I alone walked out of Da Heng Group,

The security guard saluted me, saying, "Good morning, Chairman."

I returned the greeting, then said, "Little Zhang, is it easy to get a taxi here?"

The security guard Little Zhang said, "Chairman, it's really hard to get a taxi here; if you want to take a taxi, you need to go to the taxi stand on Guangming Road ahead."

Upon hearing that, I muttered, "Damn, my bad leg really makes it a hassle to walk to Guangming Road."

I then asked Little Zhang, "Little Zhang, how do you get to work?"

Little Zhang said, "I come by electric bike."

After saying that, Little Zhang pointed to a three-wheeled electric vehicle in the parking shed.

"Will this thing have enough electricity to get to Guanghua Garden?" I asked Little Zhang.

"Probably about right, Chairman, you should ride it." Little Zhang said.

I nodded,

"Can you ride it?" Little Zhang asked.

I laughed,

"It's just an electric tricycle; back when I worked at the Niushiling construction site, I've driven every kind of tricycle—hand over the keys." I reached out to Little Zhang for the keys.

Little Zhang pulled out the keys and handed them to me.

I took them in my hand,

Then I climbed into the tricycle and turned on the power.

I shouted to Little Zhang, "Watch the door, I'm leaving."

I then rode off on the tricycle.

It's been a long time since I last rode a tricycle; at first I couldn't quite keep control.

Several times I failed to brake properly,

I thought to myself, riding this thing, if I get into an accident, that would be really embarrassing.

The chairman of the mighty Da Heng Group crashed a tricycle—tomorrow it'll surely make the headlines.

I practiced for a while and finally became proficient.

I then rode the tricycle toward Guanghua Garden. Guanghua lies east of Xin Cheng, more than ten li from our company.

Moreover, there were many traffic lights on the road. I rode the tricycle through traffic,

At that moment, no one would have guessed that the man riding the tricycle was Zhao Jianqiang, chairman of the Da Heng Group.

Because the road was rough, by the time we reached the Guanghua construction site it was already past seven.

Guanghua Garden is built on a small earthen hill,

The path up the hill hasn't been fully repaired yet.

Only after charging the tricycle to full could I barely climb up.

Halfway up, the tricycle simply wouldn't take any more charge.

"Damn," I cursed,

then I got off the tricycle.

Looking at the lights in the distance at the construction site,

I then started walking slowly toward it.

I felt as if I had returned to the Niushiling construction site, where back then everyone went to the Niushiling site on foot.

Walking alone on the ridge, I wasn't afraid either.

Today I'm still alone, walking up the ridge.

Suddenly a horn blared behind me,

I looked back and saw a young person riding an electric bike who had stopped behind me.

A young person got off the vehicle,

looking at me and said, "Dad, what are you doing here?"

I saw that it was Xiao Shitou who had come.

I patted Xiao Shitou on the shoulder and said, "Come on, take me up the ridge to find your Uncle Jinhe for a drink."
