Abstinence Pei, don't be too sweet when chasing your wife

Jiang Xue stood in front of the office window, looking at the prosperous yet busy city outside.

The afterglow of the setting sun gilded the tall buildings, but she had no intention of appreciating the beautiful view.

Of the two important projects that she signed and was in charge of, one was about to start construction, and the other was in the preparation stage before construction. She knew very well that every job in every link that she was responsible for could not be sloppy, and she had to do it herself.

The modern commercial district project of the Municipal Planning Bureau will start construction in a few days. The top priority now is to prepare all the materials needed for the construction so that we can start construction directly when the day comes.

Because material preparation is a crucial link in whether the project can be started smoothly, it must be ensured to be foolproof.

Jiang Xue has put in countless days and nights of hard work for this business district project.

From the initial efforts to obtain the contract, to finding material suppliers and signing the contract, she racked her brains in front of a desk piled with materials, revising the plan again and again, striving for perfection.

From the difficult communication and coordination with all parties during the preparation work to the search for designers and workers, she argued in the controversial conference room to obtain the most favorable conditions for the project.

Finally, she had to go through the tedious application and processing procedures, and then to signature and approval. She ran around between various government departments. Faced with cumbersome procedures and strict review, she ran up and down with sheets of documents.

She didn't know how much effort she put into all this.

Now, all the preliminary preparations have been completed, and material preparation has become the top priority. Without any time to breathe, she has to devote herself to this stage of material preparation.

Outside the window, the wind was howling, causing the branches to tremble, as if they were also uneasy about the upcoming challenges.

Jiang Xue took a deep breath, picked up her phone and called the materials supplier, Manager Li.

"Hello, Manager Li? I'm Jiang Xue." There was a hint of urgency in Jiang Xue's voice.

"Hello, Mr. Jiang!" Manager Li responded enthusiastically from the other end of the phone.

"Manager Li, our project is about to start. The groundbreaking ceremony will be held in a week, and construction will begin immediately after the ceremony. How is the material preparation going? We cannot afford any mistakes." Jiang Xue asked straight to the point.

"Mr. Jiang, don't worry, everything is going according to plan and there will be no problem." Manager Li said easily.

Jiang Xue frowned and thought to herself, "Why is Manager Li always so confident? I hope nothing goes wrong." Her tone became serious, "Manager Li, this is not something that can be dealt with casually. I've been under a lot of pressure lately. The company's top management has high hopes for this project. If the construction period is delayed because of materials, I won't be able to explain myself."

"Mr. Jiang, I understand your pressure. I promise you that I will not delay anything." Manager Li's tone also became much more serious.

"Okay, Manager Li, I'll confirm with you the specific list of materials and arrival time." Jiang Xue said, holding the documents in her hand.

"No problem, Mr. Jiang. All the steel will be in place two days before the groundbreaking ceremony, and the wood and cement will arrive three days before the ceremony..." Manager Li reported in detail.

Jiang Xue checked her list while listening, and occasionally interrupted to ask, "Manager Li, can the quality inspection report for this batch of steel be issued on time? Also, the specifications of the wood must not deviate."

"Mr. Jiang, there is definitely no problem with the test report. We strictly follow the requirements for wood specifications, so you can rest assured." Manager Li vowed.

Jiang Xue was wondering in her heart: "Can it really be as smooth as he said?" But she still said: "Manager Li, it's not that I don't trust you, but this project is too important and I really can't afford to lose.

If there is a problem with the materials, it will not only affect the construction period, but also cause huge economic losses. At that time, none of us can bear the responsibility. "Jiang Xue's voice revealed obvious anxiety.

"Mr. Jiang, don't put so much pressure on yourself. I will keep a close eye on this and make sure nothing goes wrong," said Manager Li.

After hanging up the phone, Jiang Xue leaned back in her chair and rubbed her temples.

She looked at the gloomy sky outside the window, feeling as if a huge rock was pressing on her heart.

She knew that this was just the beginning and she would have to keep an eye on the progress of the materials in the next few days.

After hanging up the phone yesterday, Jiang Xue was still worried.

So today, Jiang Xue came to the factory early to personally take a look at the specific situation of the materials.

Manager Li greeted her personally and took her to visit the various production workshops.

"Mr. Jiang, look, these are the materials prepared for your project. Most of them have been completed, and the rest are being produced overtime. They will definitely not delay your construction schedule." Manager Li introduced as they walked.

Jiang Xue carefully checked the quality and quantity of each material, and asked the workers some questions about the production process and progress from time to time. Although the overall situation looked good, she still found some potential problems.

"Manager Li, why can't I see the quality inspection report for this batch of steel?" Jiang Xue asked, pointing at a pile of steel.

Manager Li's face flashed with embarrassment. "Boss Jiang, the report is still in the testing agency and will be out in the next two days. But don't worry, the quality of this batch of steel is absolutely fine, because it has passed the initial test. The retest is just a process to ensure that it will pass."

Jiang Xue's face turned serious. "Manager Li, quality is the lifeline of the project. How can I be assured without the inspection report? You must get the report as soon as possible and make sure the quality of the steel meets the standards."

"Yes, yes, Mr. Jiang, I will arrange someone to urge it right away." Manager Li nodded quickly.

After taking a tour of the factory, Jiang Xue felt a little more relaxed, but she still repeatedly reminded Manager Fang to strictly control quality and progress.

Two days later, Jiang Xue called Manager Li again.

"Manager Li, where is the steel?" Jiang Xue asked anxiously.

"Mr. Jiang, they're on the way and will be here tomorrow," said Manager Li.

"Okay, make sure there are no problems during transportation." Jiang Xue reminded.

However, the next day, the steel did not arrive on time.

Jiang Xue angrily called Manager Li: "Manager Li, what's going on? Why hasn't the steel arrived yet? We signed a contract. If the materials can't arrive on time, then we have to..."

"Mr. Jiang, I'm sorry. We encountered an accident on the way and there was a traffic jam. We estimate we can arrive this afternoon." Manager Li's voice was a little panicked.

Jiang Xue was annoyed: "Manager Li always has excuses." She said loudly: "Manager Li, you must be here in the afternoon, otherwise you will bear the consequences!"

After anxious waiting, the steel finally arrived in the afternoon.

Jiang Xue immediately rushed to the scene and personally checked the quality and quantity of the steel.

"Fortunately, there is no problem with the quality." Jiang Xue breathed a sigh of relief.

But before she could recover, she discovered that there seemed to be some deviation in the size of the wood.

She called Manager Li again: "Manager Li, why is the size of the wood wrong?"

"Mr. Jiang, this... may be a mistake on the part of the workers. I will deal with it immediately." Manager Li said.

Jiang Xue's voice was already filled with fatigue and anger: "Manager Li, I have given you enough trust. You can't let this kind of problem happen again."

"Mr. Jiang, I'm sorry. I will resolve it as soon as possible." Although Manager Li apologized repeatedly, he was already a little impatient.

During this intense preparation process, Jiang Xue was under tremendous pressure, and every problem made her heart rise to her throat. But she knew that she could not back down, and only by ensuring that the materials were prepared on time and in good quality could the subsequent processes proceed as scheduled.
