Then should I congratulate Magistrate Chen in advance for his promotion? Zhong Ling said mischievously.
Chen Xing was stunned and smiled. "I don't dare to think about this kind of thing now. It's better to do the things in front of me. As for your company, I really hope that it can make money and make further progress."
Then I shall accept your auspicious words. Zhong Ling smiled and turned to go back. "Let's go down and have a look."
They came down from the mountain and went to the construction site. Zhong Ling checked some sand and stones from time to time. She even knew a lot about the construction safety of the site. Chen Xing was surprised. "You know all this?"
"What?" "Are you looking down on me?" "Do you think I'm the chairman for nothing?" Seeing Chen Xing's surprised expression, Zhong Ling was slightly proud of herself, revealing a rare playful look of a little girl. Thinking back to when I first became the general manager, I ran around all the construction sites in the company for a month and tanned my skin completely. Even sunscreen didn't work. Hmph, judging the quality of the sand and stones, including construction safety, I learned it bit by bit from the beginning when I was clueless. How about it? I'm very dedicated, aren't I?
"Yes, very dedicated." Chen Xing nodded with a smile. He didn't expect Zhong Ling to have such an experience.
They looked around as they walked. Zhong Ling said that the first phase of the project would be completed at the end of the year, and the second and third phases would be completed by the end of the year after next. If the current construction team wanted to complete the project according to this schedule, it would inevitably cause some quality problems. They needed to contract some projects to other construction teams in order to complete the project with quality and quantity. Chen Xing nodded seriously. "The quality of the project is the most important. If the quality of the project is affected in order to meet the schedule, it will not be worth it."
"Don't worry, I know this. Our company started with engineering and construction, and I attach great importance to it. Quality is more important than anything else." Zhong Ling looked at the road not far away, which was also under construction, and said, "Let's go and have a look. At that time, you promised me that the road to the county could also be built together with the project of the tourist area. I thought you were giving me a verbal check, but I didn't expect you to be so efficient."
I pulled you in to invest, and if I give you an empty promise, I won't dare to see you again. Do you think that because our county is too poor, we can't even afford to repair the roads? Chen Xing smiled. If Secretary Huang hadn't promised to pay half of the money for the construction of the road, I wouldn't have been able to build the road. However, even if Secretary Huang hadn't promised me the money, I would try my best to get the money. No matter how poor the county is, the road has to be built. This is written in the contract signed with your company. We don't dare to break the contract. Otherwise, we might receive a court summons from you one day.
The court sent a subpoena to the government? Zhong Ling smiled when she heard this. This kind of thing happening abroad is not a rare thing. If it really happens in our country, I really have to open my eyes and see. Even if I dare to sue your county government, it depends on whether the court dares to issue a subpoena to you. I don't have high expectations for our country's system.
The road to political system reform is long and arduous, but it doesn't mean that there is no hope. Haven't you seen that our country has been feeling the stones to cross the river? Our social system is different from others, which means that there is no ready-made model for our reform. We can only rely on ourselves to practice and explore step by step, and learn from our mistakes time and time again.
Your theoretical level is too high. I can't beat you in this. Zhong Ling shook her head and smiled. Obviously, she had reservations about Chen Xing's words. When the government can be truly open, fair, and transparent, we will discuss this issue again.
Hey, wait. Zhong Ling, who was speaking, suddenly stopped and squatted down to dig at the roadbed that had just been paved. When Chen Xing was wondering what Zhong Ling was doing, he saw that Zhong Ling dug out a stone. Chen Xing, who was not familiar with road construction, didn't know what it meant. He couldn't help but laugh. Zhong Ling, I didn't know that you have such great strength, but why did you dig that stone for no reason?
Zhong Ling stood up, still holding the stone in her hand. She weighed it gently, glanced at Chen Xing, and frowned. Chen Xing, do you know that I can dig this stone out from under the roadbed? Do you know what it means? You won't be able to laugh later.
Is there a problem with the construction of this road? Chen Xing's face froze, but he quickly reacted. Just now, he was still joking with Zhong Ling, but now he suddenly turned livid. He suppressed his anger. Zhong Ling, are you sure?
Although I'm not very proficient in road construction, I'm not ignorant. In road construction, the three-ash gravel layer is the most important layer. It needs to be repeatedly rolled with a vibrating roller, at least four or five times. Only in this way can the lime, powdered lime, cement, and gravel solidify, forming a compression layer and waterproof layer. In order to save time and materials, some construction units have reduced the rolling time of the three-ash gravel layer. Now it's best to find two experts who are proficient in road construction to inspect the site. After all, I'm not a professional. Zhong Ling shook her head and threw away the stone in her hand.
Not far behind, He Qi was chatting with Zhong Ling's female assistant, Liu Yan, from time to time. Seeing that there seemed to be a situation in front, He Qi hurriedly walked up and heard Chen Xing's order with a gloomy expression. Xiao He, the county, find two experts who are proficient in road construction. Immediately.
Okay. He Qi nodded and glanced at the road beside him. He Qi didn't dare to ask more and walked to the side to make a phone call.
The two experts found from the county quickly arrived in a car. Chen Xing and Zhong Ling had been waiting in the same place. When the two experts arrived, He Qi, who knew what was going on, hurriedly went to explain. Not long after, the results were placed in front of Chen Xing. The road that had already been poured could be confirmed to have been shoddy. After such a road was built, it wouldn't take long for it to be threshed and cracked.
Find me the person in charge. Chen Xing's expression was frighteningly gloomy. Although his anger wasn't directed at He Qi, He Qi, who was beside him, was still a little frightened. After listening to the order, he hurriedly went to do his work.
Chen Xing, don't be angry. Fortunately, this road hasn't been paved for long. At worst, we can just tear it down and start again. Zhong Ling comforted him. This kind of thing was actually very common. There was no need to be angry. There were also many cases of shoddy construction in other places. Some highways that were worth billions of investments could be made into tofu dregs. In comparison, this was actually nothing.
"You can't say that. I've never seen anyone comfort people like this." Chen Xing was helpless. It was not easy for the county to have money to build this road. This road led directly to the county and the tourist area. The distance was not short. It was not easy to collect tens of millions of yuan for the road. "These bastards dared to shoddy construction at the beginning. If I don't find out the truth today, I will be really depressed."
"Even if we want to find out the truth, we should eat first, right? Look at the time. It's noon now. We have to find a place to eat first."
"I'm so concerned about my feelings that I forget that you haven't eaten yet." Chen Xing looked at the time. Just now, he waited for the two experts to come and check the road, which was delayed for a long time. Now it was past 12 o 'clock. However, Chen Xing was not in the mood to eat at this time. He glanced at Zhong Ling and said with a wry smile, "I'm so angry that I'm almost full. Now I really have no mood to eat."
"People are iron, and food is steel. I still have to eat. I'll ask Assistant Liu to get some fast food." Zhong Ling said with a smile.
"Well, thank you very much." Chen Xing did not object this time. Zhong Ling also had good intentions.
Not long after, He Qi walked over. He had already figured out the situation. This road was built by a company called Haoxing Construction Co., Ltd. The boss of the company was not here. There was a manager supervising the work at the site. Although he said he was a manager, He Qi looked like a ruffian no matter how you looked at him. He dressed like a hooligan, but no matter what, he finally found someone he could question. He Qi called the manager over. The manager's expression was not very good. He had just finished his lunch and was taking a lunch break in a makeshift tent when he was suddenly called out by a stranger. It would be strange if he was in a good mood.
"Who are you? Why did you call me?" The manager glanced at Chen Xing and the others out of the corner of his eyes. He was slightly confused, and his eyes stayed on Zhong Ling for a while.
"Is this the road built by your company?" Chen Xing pointed to the road beside him. He had been suppressing the anger in his heart, so his tone was inevitably a little angry. "Call your boss over. You can't make the decision here."
"Who are you? I'll call you if you ask me to." The manager looked at Chen Xing and glared at him. He did not know what was going on, but the other party spoke to him in an unfriendly tone. This manager was not a good-tempered person either. He glared at Chen Xing. At this time, he had not realized that there was a problem with the road and that Chen Xing was about to lose his temper. It was no wonder that he could not react in time. He stared at Chen Xing and thought to himself, "Where did this blind person come from?"
"Oh no, there is a problem with the road." The manager suddenly came to his senses. The company had sent him here to be in charge of supervising the work. He was naturally clear about the construction of this road. Even he had made a small fortune from the construction materials. After figuring out the crux of the problem, the manager could not help but look at Chen Xing and the others. He pondered about their identities, but his expression was calm. "I'm the most powerful person here. I can make the decision. If there is anything, just tell me."
"Really?" "Are you sure you can bear the responsibility?" Chen Xing sneered. "Since you are in charge of supervising the work, do you know the quality of the road under your feet? Huh?"
"What's wrong with the quality of the road? Isn't it very good? What's wrong with you? Repairing the road is our company's business. Why do you, an unrelated person, suddenly come here and give orders? Do you have nothing better to do?" "Sure enough," the manager thought to himself. "The problem with the road has been discovered." He did not panic. Instead, his attitude became tough. He pointed at Chen Xing and the others and said, "You guys, leave here quickly. Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude later. Humph, if you make trouble again, believe it or not, I will seize you and send you to the police station."
"Call Fu Wei, the director of the Traffic Bureau, to come here." Chen Xing glanced at him and turned to He Qi.
