Rebirth 78, the beginning of the marriage was broken off by the female educated youth

"I've arranged to go to Wangfujing with Song Yi today to buy some winter clothes. I'll be careful, you go to school now!"

After finishing breakfast, Li Xiangnan gave his wife a few instructions and said goodbye to his parents before heading to the school through the courtyard.

I asked Director Zheng for leave before, but now that I'm back, I still need to go there to prepare for school.

But when he left the courtyard, he unexpectedly saw a familiar Volga sedan parked at the alley entrance. Lin Youwei, wearing a beige trench coat and with a slender figure, was getting out of the car and brushing the dust off her clothes.

"Youwei?" Li Xiangnan called out, quickly going over to greet her. He glanced at his watch, somewhat surprised, "It's only 7:30, why are you here?"

Upon seeing Li Xiangnan, Lin Youwei's previously cool and aloof expression instantly blossomed into a smile, her dimples appearing as if filled with wine. She quickly approached him, naturally reaching out to straighten his neatly trimmed collar. However, her hand froze halfway through, and she said with a hint of barely perceptible coquettishness, "You're finally back! If you hadn't come back, the construction site would have been in an uproar! I came from there!"

"Construction site?"

Upon hearing her question, Li Xiangnan's heart skipped a beat. "Which construction site?"

He was indeed a little nervous.

Nowadays, construction sites are mostly pharmaceutical factories, clove factories, and five-star hotel sites.

He's really worried about the two construction site explosions he's seen before!

Surely it couldn't be that something went wrong at Anjia's construction site, could it?

I just got back!

"It's at Anjia's project construction site. There's been a bit of a problem, and it's been arguing for days!" Lin Youwei paused in mid-air, then casually pulled her hand back and smoothed her stray hairs.

"The An family?" Li Xiangnan frowned, thinking to himself, "Just as I thought."

"Get in the car!" Lin Youwei smirked at the car. "On the way, she said the situation at the construction site isn't good. While you were away, Ando brought in a foreign expert from China to provide guidance. It seems like he's trying to squeeze you out of the project! Now there's a problem with the foundation..."

"Oh?" Upon hearing this, Li Xiangnan immediately understood the meaning. "Let's go take a look!"

Without saying a word, he got into the car and drove to the project site.

Originally, the hotel project was not planned to enter the substantive construction phase so quickly. Because the project was large, the initial equipment had just arrived on site, and workers and some building materials were still needed before construction could fully commence.

He had calculated the timeline beforehand, and construction should have started before National Day.

But it's only mid-September...

in such a hurry?

It seems Andor had no good intentions!

……

At this moment, at the construction site of the five-star hotel, colorful flags fluttered in the wind, but the atmosphere was not as warm as it seemed.

An Jia's An Duo, An Youlei, and An Youwan were surrounding Mr. Thomson, the representative of the investors, protecting him in the center like stars surrounding the moon.

Thomson, his face grim, was speaking loudly in accented Mandarin to Director Chen, the deputy director of the Municipal Construction Commission, pointing to the obviously sunken and muddy area that had been dug up. His voice carried far.

"Director Chen, leaders! Take a look for yourselves, is this a problem with the foundation? This is clearly deep silty soft soil left over from the flood zone of an ancient river! With such foundation conditions, its bearing capacity and settlement coefficient do not meet the standards for high-rise buildings at all!"

"How can such a foundation be used to build a five-star hotel? You know, we're going to build a sixteen-story building! That's a world-class standard! It has to withstand the long-term load of hundreds of guest rooms, a large banquet hall, conference rooms, and all kinds of heavy equipment! Building on such a shoddy foundation? Isn't that playing with everyone's lives and real money?"

The people around them stood in three distinct circles.

Thomson and the An family were on one side, a group led by the project's chief engineer, Mr. Xu, was on another side, and the government, led by Director Chen of the Municipal Construction Commission, was on the third side.

Hearing Thomson roar about the problems from a few days ago again, and even calling in all the engineers, leaders and investors involved in the project, the atmosphere suddenly became tense.

Director Chen of the Municipal Construction Commission wiped the sweat from his forehead, but his words were still quite firm.

"There were no problems with the bidding process for this land. Before Anjia chose this land, they should have already conducted the relevant investigations. Now is not the time to talk about historical issues. What we need to do is find a solution to resolve the current difficulties!"

Upon hearing this, Ando, ​​who was leaning on his cane, immediately chimed in, "Director Chen, you can't say that. What do you mean by 'historical legacy issues'? It hasn't been that long. You can't ignore our actual difficulties!"

Director Chen's face darkened, but he calmly said, "Comrade An Duo, what do you intend to do? Do you want to change the land? Now that the ancient riverbed has been discovered, let's resolve the issue promptly! If we change the land, can you guarantee there won't be any other problems? Land in Yanjing is extremely valuable; I reserve my opinion on this!"

“Director Chen, you yourself said that land here is incredibly valuable, and we paid a considerable price to buy this land!” An Youlei immediately retorted. “Mr. Thomson is an internationally renowned geological expert. You know how authoritative his judgment is, and everyone here knows that too! Our An family invested heavily to build a benchmark hotel and add prestige to Yanjing, not to create a shoddy project! I think, Director Chen, you should just give us the land directly, and we'll accept whatever happens!”

Hearing this, the section chief of the land bureau pulled Director Chen aside and advised him to calm down. He then stepped forward and asked, "We understand that you have grievances. Do you have any other demands besides exchanging land?"

An Youwan chuckled sinisterly, "Alright then, you've all seen it. The foundation is in this state. I think the problem lies with that Li Xiangnan you assigned. If you had let us start construction earlier in the summer, this wouldn't have happened. The direction he pointed in was completely wrong. How could you let us start digging here at this time? Everyone knows that autumn is rainy."

A planning bureau clerk in the crowd said indignantly, "But it rains a lot in the summer, how can you blame Consultant Li?"

"Why can't we blame him?" An Youlei roared, "What kind of lousy consultant is he? The project has such a big problem, where is he? He's been nowhere to be seen for so long, isn't that incredibly irresponsible? We strongly suggest that the more professional and responsible Mr. Thomson be put in full charge of this project, and that irresponsible Li Xiangnan be replaced directly!"

"..."

These words caused an uproar among the crowd.

The engineers and government officials all immediately understood what the An family meant!

So it turns out they're just replacing Li Xiangnan!

The foundation issue was just a pretext they happened to seize upon. No wonder they haven't resolved the problem these past few days, and instead just keep making a fuss!

"XCMG, we've thoroughly examined the data. This soft soil layer is over eight meters thick. If we were to replace it, the cost of such a large project would be far too high!"

"The cycle will also be longer, and the investors will definitely not agree! What about deeper piling?"

"That would increase the budget by forty percent, and delay the construction by at least three months!"

The engineers gathered around, seemingly unconcerned whether Thomson was brought in or Li Xiangnan remained as consultant; they only trusted the on-site standards and data.

But faced with such a difficult problem, they often cast pressured glances at the government officials.

Director Chen of the Municipal Construction Commission, Deputy Section Chief Sun of the Land Bureau, and Section Chief of the Planning Bureau stood together, their faces grave.

They were also under considerable pressure, facing Anjia's challenge and the engineers' silence.

After exchanging glances several times, Director Chen cleared his throat.

"Comrades, Comrade Li Xiangnan is a consultant specially appointed by the city after careful consideration. His ability and sense of responsibility are beyond doubt. He was away on important medical missions and criminal investigations recently, but before leaving, he entrusted Xu Gong and the project team to handle all daily affairs. This is not dereliction of duty! He will definitely come to the construction site as soon as he returns, but before that, I think solving the problem is the priority, rather than discussing whether to replace him!"

The atmosphere at the scene froze, and everyone fell silent.

"Advisor Li is here!"

Just as he finished speaking, someone shouted, and everyone's eyes turned to the car that had just stopped.

Then Li Xiangnan walked over with steady steps.

"..." Andor and the others exchanged glances, and subconsciously began to clench their back teeth.

"Damn it, you came back at the worst possible time!"
