Chapter 474

"Xiaoyuan, how exactly did you measure this data?"

Old Zhai held the blueprint and looked at the valley and river in front of him.

This was what he had always wanted to ask; now that Li Zhuiyuan had returned to the project team, he couldn't help but raise his inner doubts immediately.

"Teacher, the data still needs verification, not necessarily accurate."

Old Zhai looked at the young man, knowing that this child was changing the subject, so he didn't ask any further.

The data submitted by Li Zhuiyuan was produced by a group of Jianghu elites going up the mountains and down the rivers, and it also condensed the hard work of many excellent feng shui masters and formation masters.

Engineering projects in complex environments often come with various unknowns and accidents; if they can be framed in advance and exploration is turned into calculation, then the things below will be very smooth.

Old Zhai put away the blueprint and said with relief: "You did a very good job; it seems I made a wasted trip."

Li Zhuiyuan: "Teacher, if you didn't come to Yuxi, my work would also be difficult to unfold smoothly."

Old Zhai: "Those rumors, you heard them too?"

Li Zhuiyuan showed a smile.

Old Zhai: "No need to care about those."

Li Zhuiyuan: "I don't care, mainly worried about you, Teacher."

Old Zhai: "I believe in my choice; your performance this time makes me very satisfied. If I have to pick bones in an egg, it's probably in organizational ability; on this point, you need to learn well from your senior brother Xue Liangliang."

Li Zhuiyuan: "I understand, next time I will carry out work together with everyone."

Old Zhai reached out and patted the young man's shoulder: "The scale and difficulty of future projects will only get bigger and bigger; although you are still young, you can't really treat yourself as a child anymore; individual heroism can exist, but you must also clearly recognize its limitations; teams need to be led, and talents also need to be cultivated.

This is where I am not as good as your teacher; the students and teams he brought are much more excellent and capable than the ones I brought; unfortunately, I am old, and wanting to come again is impossible."

Li Zhuiyuan: "Teacher, aren't you teaching me right now?"

Old Zhai: "Hehehe."

An old and a young talked while walking back; all around were tents, and further out were teams of survey teams working separately.

At the entrance of Li Zhuiyuan's office tent, several people walked out holding blueprints; everyone was whispering, and after seeing Old Zhai, they immediately became orderly and returned to their work posts after greeting.

In front of the office desk in the tent, A Li was drawing blueprints.

Old Zhai stood at the door and asked Li Zhuiyuan: "These things, when did she learn them?"

Li Zhuiyuan: "When I was learning, she was right beside me."

During the summer vacation after the college entrance examination, Engineer Luo arranged for Xue Liangliang to send various engineering cases and arrange various homework for himself; Li Zhuiyuan was equivalent to completing his graduation design before formally entering university.

A Li was accompanying him in his studies.

Old Zhai: "Xue Liangliang will come over tonight; you come to my tent then, and we'll have a meeting."

Li Zhuiyuan: "Okay, Teacher."

After Old Zhai left, Li Zhuiyuan walked into his tent.

"Tired?"

The girl shook her head.

There were drawing paper and paints in the mountaineering bag; she should have been drawing, but it wasn't appropriate here, so seeing that there was a lot of work in the young man's office, she did what she could to help.

There were two tables in the tent, one for each, and everything seemed to have returned to the way it was at home.

As the sun set, Li Zhuiyuan put down his pen, picked up the lunch box, and brought back two boxes of rice; A Li cleared a space on the office desk.

Before eating, Li Zhuiyuan first took A Li's pulse.

In the small hell, A Li, who used the power of the blood porcelain bottle, suffered not-so-light mental backlash, but A Li's endurance in this regard was astonishing, plus Li Zhuiyuan would infuse her with spiritual power for recuperation every day, and now she was gradually recovering.

After dinner, because the work outside was still continuing, the work in the tent had to continue; everyone was consciously racing against time to catch up with the progress; this didn't need extra whipping, because the conditions in the mountains were really a bit hard.

Li Zhuiyuan had no time to pay attention to the wind and rain in the Jianghu; of course, this Jianghu didn't expect that the person who had just stirred up the wind and rain was actually burying his head in work in the mountains at this moment.

"Xiaoyuan?"

Outside the tent, Xue Liangliang's voice came.

Li Zhuiyuan put down his pen, walked out, and went to Old Zhai's tent with Xue Liangliang.

Old Zhai: "Liangliang, why did you come so late?"

Xue Liangliang: "On the way, I encountered a road blockade to catch fugitives, which delayed some time."

Old Zhai: "Oh, did you catch them?"

Xue Liangliang: "Caught them; I watched that person being escorted onto a truck; they said it was the head of a criminal gang, who had committed a crime in Jin Ling and fled back."

Old Zhai nodded: "It's good that you caught them."

Li Zhuiyuan saw quite a few stone tablets placed in Old Zhai's tent, with names and birth dates carved on them.

Old Zhai introduced: "These were discovered at the river bend; they were sent to me; it should be that some village nearby had a tradition of carving genealogies into tablets, but this village should have encountered a mudslide disaster, plus other reasons, the original villagers should have scattered or migrated.

I have already contacted the local cultural relics department, and they will transport these away tomorrow."

On this stone tablet, Li Zhuiyuan saw a familiar line of names and birth dates; it was the mother of the main family elder who sat for the fast at the great-grandfather's house.

After the project here ended, the young man would ask Tan Wenbin to dial the number on that slip of paper from a public phone to inform that elder that his mother's hometown had been found.

Old Zhai: "Liangliang, is your side going smoothly?"

Xue Liangliang glanced at Li Zhuiyuan and laughed: "Very smoothly."

Old Zhai: "This time, thank you for your help."

Xue Liangliang: "I should thank you, Old Zhai, for giving my team such a good internship opportunity."

The three sat down and had a small meeting.

After the meeting, Xue Liangliang and Li Zhuiyuan left Old Zhai's tent together.

"Xiaoyuan, Old Zhai is really good to you."

"Hmm, I know."

"By the way, the one who sent me the letter last time, was it a person?"

"I don't know about this."

"You smell me, is there still that kind of smell?"

"No."

"That's good; I always felt a musky smell on me a while ago; in such cold weather, I went to wash in the stream three times a day, just to wash this smell away, afraid of smoking her after going back; she is pregnant after all, sensitive."

After the fox spirit delivered the things to Xue Liangliang, she lingered for several days; during the day, she turned into a fox and watched from afar, and at night, she turned into a person and wanted to enter the tent to add fragrance.

She didn't have such high discernment; she just instinctively felt that the object she could go to deliver things to must be extraordinary, maybe it was some kind of opportunity for her.

As a result, she tried to sneak in several times; as soon as she came in, she couldn't help but transform; her hair and tail all grew out; in the end, she was scared and slipped away, but because of this, she made Xue Liangliang's tent full of fox stench.

The two stopped, and Xue Liangliang raised his head and stretched.

In the south of the colorful clouds, what is beautiful is not only the mountains and rivers, but also the starry sky at night.

"Xiaoyuan, missed home?"

"It's okay."

Every time a wave ended in the past, Li Zhuiyuan would urgently want to go home in his heart.

This time A Li followed him out, and the young man's urgency to return home faded.

"Soon, in a few days, the preliminary work of these two projects will be successfully completed, but you still have to accompany Old Zhai to attend several meetings, right?"

"Hmm, yes."

"Haha, it's finally your turn to experience the feeling of accompanying the teacher to run around and attend meetings everywhere."

After the outdoor work ended, meetings followed one after another, from Yuxi to Kunming, basically all accompanied by Old Zhai, with Li Zhuiyuan responsible for speaking and communicating; after the last meeting ended, it marked the formal end of this stage of the project.

Walking out of the conference hall steps, just at this time, there was a thick cloud in the sky, blocking the sunlight.

The young man walked from the warm sun into the shadow.

Wood Prince's tourist minibus was parked there; Tan Wenbin and Lin Shu You stood at the head and tail of the car respectively; A Li sat in the car, and there were two majestic and exquisite divine tablets in the car.

A Li's mental backlash was completely resolved, Lin Shu You's injuries were completely recovered, and Tan Wenbin's five senses returned to their peak. ===== CHAPTER 475 =====

Elder Zhai: "Xiao Yuan, you've worked hard these past few days."

Li Zhuiyuan: "Teacher, this is my job to begin with. It is you who have worked hard, having to accompany me."

Elder Zhai: "Alright, you go back to Jin Ling first. I still have some matters here and need to stay for another period."

Li Zhuiyuan: "Understood, Teacher. Please take care of your health."

Walking down the steps of the conference hall, it just so happened that there was a thick, heavy cloud in the sky at that moment, blocking the sunlight.

The youth walked from the warm sun into the shadows.

Prince Mu's small tourist minibus was parked there; Tan Wenbin and Lin Shu stood at the front and back of the vehicle respectively, A Li was sitting inside, and two majestic, exquisite spirit tablets were also placed in the car.

A Li's spiritual backlash was completely resolved, the injuries on Lin Shu's body were fully recovered, and Tan Wenbin's five senses had returned to their peak.
