“How is it, Uncle Chen?” Jian Ai immediately looked at Chen Lei and said, “I wonder if the construction team of Century Group is up to the task with such a tedious project?”
When Chen Lei heard that, he could not help but freeze for a moment.
“Xiao Ai, I want to give you an affirmative answer immediately, but this is not a game. Although our company’s construction team is experienced, we have never come into contact with such complicated structures and exquisite designs. Therefore, I want you to give me a day to decide if we can accept this collaboration. I will have a meeting with the engineering department tomorrow to discuss it. If they are confident, we will embark on this collaboration. Is this okay?”
Chen Lei did not agree immediately because he was not wholly confident.
However, he knew that this was a rare opportunity. Once Hotel M was built, it would cause a huge commotion. If his company could take part in this, it would be an excellent opportunity to fight for fame and profit. It would undoubtedly be very beneficial for the company.
Chen Lei also felt Jian Ai’s kindness. If such a project were open to the public, countless construction companies and construction teams would want to compete for this, but Jian Ai did not do so. Instead, she took the initiative to look for him.
Chen Lei knew he could not let Jian Ai down. He had to be completely confident before he could take on this business!
Jian Ai naturally knew Chen Lei’s concerns and considerations. When she heard this, she nodded readily. “I brought eight core leaders of this project here today. I initially wanted to communicate the details of this project to you, but since Uncle Chen has concerns, Bai Zhou will bring them over at nine in the morning tomorrow. At that time, Uncle Chen can gather the people from your company’s engineering department. Everyone will sit down and communicate to discuss an outcome.”
“Alright, I’ll wait for them at nine in the morning tomorrow.” Chen Lei nodded.
After leaving Century Group, Jian Ai stood by the road and turned to Bai Zhou. “I’ll be going to school tomorrow. Hence, I won’t be coming over. You’re in charge of everything. Let me know the results of the meeting as soon as possible.”
Bai Zhou nodded respectfully. “Yes, Boss!”
They sat in Bai Zhou’s car until they reached the junction of South City. Jian Ai didn’t let him continue to send her off. Instead, she got out of the car and walked home.
Before she reached the door, Jian Ai saw a figure standing in front of her house from afar. It was getting dark, and Jian Ai took a few steps forward to see the person’s face.
It was Jiachi!
“Jiachi?”
Jian Ai called out. Yao Jiachi looked up and saw Jian Ai. He couldn’t help but call out, “Sister.”
Walking closer, Jian Ai sized up Jiachi before asking, “Why are you standing here?”
“There’s no one at home. The door is locked,” Jiachi said.
Jian Ai couldn’t help but look at the yard when she heard this. The house was pitch-black. Chen Jin wasn’t at home.
Qinghuan had to enter the production team after school every day, so Chen Jin naturally accompanied her.
Her gaze landed on Jiachi, and she saw he was still carrying his school bag. It was obvious that he had not gone home.
Just like Erzhong, Yizhong, the school Jiachi attended ended at five minutes past five. It was already seven in the evening. Was he waiting for her to come back?
“Have you eaten?” Jian Ai asked with concern.
Jiachi looked worried, as if he had something on his mind. Hearing this, he only shook his head gently. “Not yet.”
Jian Ai looked at his expression and couldn’t help but frown worriedly. “I haven’t eaten either. Let’s go. Sister will take you to eat something.”
