In the evening, at the entrance of Century Hotel, Xia Zekai and Jiang Honggang hugged each other for a while.
There were a lot of people coming in and out of the hotel. After seeing the two of them, they all looked sideways. They knew they were not gay, so they lost interest.
"Boss Xia is too polite." Jiang Honggang also responded politely.
The two walked into the hotel together, followed by Lu Huan, Li Mumu, and Li Chengjie and Chang Bin from Acme Intelligent Factory Design and Research Institute.
While walking and talking, the purpose is to say hello to you, me, and everyone.
After the six people sat in a circle in the room that Lu Hao had set, Lu Hao called the waiter to bring over the menu and asked the boss and Jiang Honggang to order a few dishes. He added some more and asked the waiter to hurry up.
The food is served.
"Mr. Jiang, I heard what Lao Lu said. We have finished the work here. I have been busy the past two days and haven't gone there. I'm sorry." Xia Zekai still wanted to express his position.
Jiang Hong just nodded: "Boss Xia is too polite. The project is complete. Now we just wait for Boss Xia to pass the inspection. If there are no problems, we will go to the next project."
"Okay, let Lao Lu contact a third party to check it tomorrow. If there is no problem, that's it." Xia Zekai said.
He added quite openly: "After the acceptance is passed, I will arrange for someone to transfer the third phase of the project funds."
Jiang Honggang sighed in his heart, Xia Zekai really couldn't say anything about this. It's not like some companies that are very happy when they ask you to work, but when it comes to paying the bill, they will delay every one of them as long as they can, and they can't wait to drag you down.
"Boss Xia, thank you!" Jiang Honggang sincerely thanked him. If Xia Zekai hadn't paid the project payment on time during the Spring Festival last year, he would have gone to the bank to get a loan to pay his salary.
Damn it, it’s not easy to do anything these days!
After the food was served, Lu Chen opened two bottles of white wine and filled them for all six people.
Xia Zekai raised his glass and said: "This glass of wine is my thanks to the three of you and everyone at Acme Research Institute. Thank you for completing the project one month ahead of schedule and allowing me to use the new factory in time."
"Boss Xia is so polite, as it should be," Jiang Honggang said.
This is his reward for Xia Zekai. You are open-minded and I can't be too procrastinating. Let's give each other face.
Today's drink order was over, no one was drunk when they came out of the hotel, and Xia Zekai wanted to invite them to have something else to eat.
It's mid-May and the temperature in Qicheng has already risen.
There is a barbecue restaurant open at 11 or 12 o'clock in the city. Jiang Honggang has really never eaten this kind of food, but he ate too much in the hotel just now, and he really can't eat anymore.
He patted his belly and said, "Forget it for today, I'll treat Boss Xia to another day."
Lu Chen entrusted Zhang Xu to contact a reliable third-party acceptance party, and spent two days conducting a comprehensive inspection of the entire construction project of Jingtong Development Co., Ltd.
The project did have some detailed problems, and the third party found them out. Finally, they summarized all the problems and handed them over to Lu Huan.
After Lu Chen read it, he handed it over to Jiang Honggang, and Acme's people would rectify the problems and then accept it.
After all this operation was completed, another four days passed.
On Tuesday, May 18, the two sides held a simple handover ceremony.
This also means that Jingtong Development Co., Ltd. can be officially used.
"Boss, on what day do you think the business will open?" After seeing off Jiang Honggang and his party who were visiting Acme, Lu Hao asked Xia Zekai alone.
Xia Zekai thought for a while and said: "Take a week to debug the equipment. When it can operate normally, we will hold a ceremony."
"I still have to call Wang Hongsheng. Do you have any problems here?" Xia Zekai asked him.
Lu Chen nodded: "No problem!"
The debugging of the equipment took time, so Lu Hao went to work again.
Xia Zekai first called Wang Hongsheng and asked him when he would be free next week.
When they reach Wang Hongsheng's level, their time is really not free.
When Wang Hongsheng heard Xia Zekai ask about his itinerary, he asked him: "Boss Xia, has the new factory been completed?"
"Well, we have just completed the inspection and are planning to hold a groundbreaking ceremony next week. I am not asking the leaders in advance if they have time to come over and help our company build its reputation." Xia Zekai said.
Wang Hongsheng laughed at that time: "Yes, do you care about the food?"
"No matter!" Xia Zekai laughed.
…
I washed my face with cold water, and my sleepy mind became more alert as soon as the cold water stimulated it.
Xia Zekai rubbed his temples vigorously and pinched his neck with his backhand for a while. He felt better, and then he drove home.
The feeling given to him during this period of time recently is that he has done very little business and a lot of nonsense, and he is very irritable now.
But he couldn't stop. There were hundreds of mouths waiting for food in the factory, and it gave him a headache just thinking about it.
Luo Xiyun came back earlier than usual today. She knew that her husband was under a lot of pressure recently, so she took the initiative to help him share the work at home.
When Xia Zekai brought Yatou and Tongtong in, Luo Xiyun had already prepared the meal.
Xia Zekai thought he had missed the time, so he glanced at the clock on the wall. Yes, it was not even five o'clock yet.
"Daughter-in-law, why did you come back so early today?" Xia Zekai asked her.
Luo Xiyun said: "I had nothing to do at the company, so I took an hour's leave in advance and came back."
"Hurry up and eat, it's just fried and it's still steaming!"
Xia Zekai was not polite and sat down to eat.
Luo Xiyun put the dishes for the two girls into their own small bowls, then added the porridge and stirred it together, and the two of them ate together.
With his stomach half full, Xia Zekai said to his wife: "Daughter-in-law, the new factory is completed. I am planning to hold a new factory opening ceremony next week. Will you come then?"
Luo Xiyun was quite surprised: "It was completed so quickly?"
"Well, Mr. Jiang's work is fast and he worked overtime. It's a month ahead of schedule." Xia Zekai told her the reason.
When she heard that it was because her husband paid quickly, Luo Xiyun knew it in her heart, so she got the right number.
"I'll wait and see what happens then. There may be some temporary work arrangements." Luo Xiyun did not agree directly.
"Well, I haven't finally set a time yet. I'll let you know when the date is set."
While chatting, the meal was almost done. Xia Zekai cleared away the dishes and went to the kitchen to wash the dishes.
Luo Xiyun's cell phone rang. When she saw that it was her mother Liu Chunhua, she picked up the call first.
"Mom, what's wrong?" she asked.
"Xiyun, our factory will have a few days off tomorrow. I think I haven't been to your new home yet. I'll take the car over there tomorrow to have a look." Liu Chunhua said.
When Luo Xiyun heard that her mother was coming, it was a good thing.
But her mother said it too late, and she didn't ask for leave in advance, so she said: "Mom, I have to go to work tomorrow. Let Zekai pick you up at the station."
"Show me a place and I can just take a taxi there. Why do you have to ask Zekai to pick me up?" Liu Chunhua said.
"Taking a taxi is very convenient, but you don't have the key to your home." Luo Xiyun blocked what his mother had not finished with one sentence.
When Liu Chunhua heard what was going on, it was impossible to just give the keys to her house to her neighbors for temporary safekeeping like she did in her hometown.
How can you do this outside?
"Okay, I'll get in the car tomorrow and call you." Liu Chunhua said.
