Chapter 66: Raid
The two improvised cement bridges took up most of the investment on the Lund Highway, thanks to the fact that Abacha had stockpiled 600 tonnes of cement in advance – otherwise the project would have been lost if the price of cement had skyrocketed and the project would have been wiped out without an additional $100,000 to 120,000 investment.
There is no problem with the design of the bridge, which is designed according to the simple cement bridge, which is not much different from the township cement bridge in the sixties and seventies in China.
The columnar piers and the cement slabs erected on them are prefabricated with concrete on the construction site at the bridgehead, which can minimize the construction time of the bridge, but the structural strength is limited.
Anyway, it can only be used for light trucks to pass, and if it is overloaded, it will wait for the bridge to break and overturn, and the people of Longta will scold the tofu scum!
The scale of municipal construction in Draculamo over the years is not small at all, and there are many local infrastructure teams that are of good standard. Liang Siqian saw a lot of problems at the scene, but they were all within the acceptable range, so he didn't raise them, but just raised some points of attention with Abacha and other supervisors sent by the Longta government.
It can be seen that Liang Siqian is not very old, and he has also been beaten by society, and he is not a stunned young man.
Under Cao Mo's rectification, the room he lives in the mining area already has air conditioning, satellite TV, and solar water heaters, and the conditions are not better than Draculamo's staff dormitory, but it is not too difficult.
Song Yuqing, who now lives in the mining area, can experience the joy of life in the primeval jungle, and there is no insecurity when she walks around the jungle with two lion hounds that have grown higher than her knees.
Abacha deals with affairs every day, rushes over on time in the afternoon, pulls Cao Mo to hunt in the forest, and holds a bonfire barbecue party at night, which is very lively.
Wang Wen, who was still staying in Draculamo on the fourth day, couldn't stay and called to say that he was also going to Ibogu for a vacation, so Cao Mo and Song Yuqing returned to Dracula.
At this time, the foundation of the hydropower station was officially laid, and the grinding and filling process in the back section of the cement plant was also stabilized, and more than 150 tons of finished cement could be produced every day.
Abacha actually contributed $120,000, and at this rate, he would be able to recoup his investment in just one month.
The key is that the cement clinker hoarded in the early stage is put into production, and after a month and a half, the front process is completed, and new feeding and unloading machinery is added, the daily production capacity of the cement plant will be increased to 300 tons, and the profit scale will be more than doubled.
In other words, others would never leave Ibogu easily at this juncture.
However, whether it was Kabuja, Lucy, or Owema or Wendy Skafe, there was nothing to make Cao Mo feel uneasy, he simply generously handed over all the affairs of the mine and the factory to them, and he accompanied Song Yuqing back to Dracula Moche for two days to deal with the follow-up equipment order.
Cao Mo thought that Yang Deshan was busy smuggling the 30,000 tons of cement into Kanem, but he didn't want him and Song Yuqing to rush back to Draculamo, so he saw Yang Deshan sitting in the living room of the No. 1 dormitory building with Wang Jianzhong, deputy general manager of the branch, with a gloomy face.
Wang Jianzhong's expression was as usual, even faintly excited, and when he saw Cao Mo and Song Yuqing coming back, he asked in a cold voice: "Where have you been, why have I been back to the branch for two days, and I haven't seen your figure?"
"Mr. Yang instructed us to go down and contact the supplier of oil palm fruit, why, Mr. Yang didn't tell Mr. Wang?" Cao Mo came as soon as he opened his mouth to lie.
Seeing that Cao Mo didn't care, Wang Jianzhong's face suddenly turned gloomy, but Yang Deshan was here, still silent and silent, and he couldn't accuse Cao Mo of talking nonsense.
"Shen Ji, vice president of the business department, will go to Dracula tomorrow to inspect the preparations for the second phase of the crushing plant, and you will prepare for the reception. Yang Deshan said without hurry.
"Ah, why did you come all of a sudden, without prior notice?" Cao Mo didn't have to think about Wang Jianzhong's feelings, and even deliberately complained dissatisfiedly, "This is to make a surprise attack on us!"
If Shen Ji really wants to depart from China, it will take thirty hours to transfer to the plane, but they will be able to arrive at Draculamo tomorrow, which means that they are already in London or some transit airport.
Seeing Yang Deshan's gloomy appearance, Cao Mo didn't have to think about it, he knew that he had just learned the news that Shen Ji would arrive at Draculamo tomorrow.
This is obviously Wang Jianzhong's deliberate concealment and a surprise attack on them.
Of course, Yang Deshan knew that Wang Jianzhong was deliberately making trouble, but he didn't want to have a bad relationship with Wang Jianzhong at this time, seeing Cao Mo's face that he didn't think it was a big deal, he patiently explained him: "Mr. Shen was on a business trip in France before, and temporarily decided to take a trip to Draculamo - Manager Guo still has business to run, and he may not be able to rush back tomorrow, you are the deputy manager of the personnel administration department, you are responsible for the reception!"
In fact, there is nothing to be responsible for, arrange the vehicle for pick-up, and then book a room according to the entourage at the Lana Dere Hotel.
"By the way, Zhou Jun will also come with Mr. Shen this time, and I guess I won't be able to contact you. Wang Jianzhong saw that Yang Deshan was still knowledgeable, and said a word to Song Yuqing.
Cao Mo saw that Song Yuqing's face only showed some surprise, and he didn't feel any complicated emotions in her, but he didn't feel it in his heart.
However, Song Yuqing's husband took the opportunity of a business trip to Draculamo to get together with Song Yuqing, what could he say? He had nothing to do with Song Yuqing.
"I still have a bunch of materials to sort out in my hand, I'm afraid there is nothing to do, so I'll leave the reception to Manager Song and Wang Wen to do. Cao Mocai didn't want to receive Zhou Jun, so he stacked the picks directly.
"Why are the materials so urgent?" Wang Jianzhong asked dissatisfiedly.
"This Mr. Wang, did you personally ask Mr. Yang?" Cao Mo glanced at Wang Jianzhong, said casually, turned the car key ring in his hand, and walked out directly, ignoring Wang Jianzhong's face turned into a pig's liver color by his words.
Cao Mo transferred the two filling equipment out, which was equivalent to saving half their lives, even if Yang Deshan couldn't get used to Cao Mo's attitude of no one in his eyes, he wouldn't make a face at him at this time.
Besides, Cao Mo embarrassed Wang Jianzhong, which Yang Deshan was happy to see, and he continued to be a peacemaker at this time and said: "The task I gave Xiao Cao is a bit heavy, and Manager Song and Wang Wen will be responsible for the reception......
............
............
Cao Mo returned to the room and turned on the computer, saw that Jiaying happened to be online, saw some of the messages she had sent before, chatted with her for a few days, and asked about the situation at home.
"Brother, are you so strange today?
"What's so strange?"
"Now I'm here at eleven o'clock, and you haven't scolded me for still playing on the computer?"
Cao Mo realized that Draculamo was seven hours behind in China, and now it was two o'clock in the afternoon here and eleven o'clock at night in China.
"You're so thick-skinned, what's the use of me scolding you? Cao Mo typed back.
After chatting for a while, Cao Mo urged Jiaying to turn off the computer and go to sleep quickly, he pushed open the door and wanted to go downstairs to find water to drink, but he heard Wang Wen shouting in Song Yuqing's half-hidden room opposite:
"How can Manager Zhou come over and arrange to stay in the hotel, what is going on with you and Manager Zhou?"
Cao Mo stopped, but he couldn't hear what Song Yuqing was talking to Wang Wen in the room.
To be honest, except for some hearsay rumors from Guo Jian, he has not taken the initiative to ask Song Yuqing what family conflict she had caused so impulsively applied for a transfer to the West African branch, nor did he inquire about Zhou Jun's position in the company.
Thinking about it seriously at this time, Song Yuqing's personality is still very docile and generous, and she is also smart and capable, if she just has a bad relationship with Zhou Jun's mother, and she has no contradiction with Zhou Jun, she won't run to Draculamo, a place where birds don't, in a fit of anger?
Cao Mo still wanted to prick up her ears to eavesdrop, but when she saw the door creak, she saw Song Yuqing pushing the door with a water cup and walking out.
Seeing that Cao Mo was standing outside the door and eavesdropping, Song Yuqing glared at him with beautiful eyes, and went down to pour water.
"Sister Yuqing, why did you come to Draculamo?" Cao Mo chased after him and asked in a low voice.
"You just lost your temper over this matter, and you still stood outside the door and eavesdropped?" Song Yuqing asked dissatisfiedly, "What does it have to do with you? Don't get in the way of me pouring water." ”
Song Yuqing looked dissatisfied, but Cao Mo intuitively felt that she was still a little proud in her heart, and she wanted to grab her hand and said, "I'm just a little curious." ”
When Song Yuqing saw Sterna walking into the house, she was so frightened that she retracted her hand, and she was about to splash Cao Mo with a water cup, glaring at him and whispering to him: "Are you crazy?"
"Sister Yuqing, do you think I'm so adjusted?" At this time, Wang Wen took a form and ran downstairs, saw that Cao Mo was also there, and said dissatisfiedly, "You haven't shown up for more than half a month, and you have pushed me and Sister Yuqing for a little thing, and your conscience let the dog eat it?"
No matter what the reason behind the scenes, Song Yuqing didn't look like she wanted to get back together with Zhou Jun, Cao Mo was in a good mood again, and said to Wang Wen: "I really have something to do, you and Sister Yuqing help me in this matter, it's a big deal to invite you to Lana Dere for one night!"
"This is what you said, don't cheat!" Wang Wenduo works hard, as long as he doesn't suffer losses, he has no opinion.
Cao Mo glanced at it casually, there were quite a few people, and he also deliberately marked several sea-view rooms.
Wang Wen didn't give Cao Mo a closer look, and hid the form behind him.
Cao Mo asked curiously: "With such an arrangement, why doesn't it look like I came to Draculamo to inspect the preparations for the second phase of the crushing plant, but like I came to travel?"
"There are a few people who seem to be friends of Mr. Shen, and this time they went to Kanem to play, and the company arranged it together. Song Yuqing explained, and then said to Wang Wen, "...... You take it and take a look at Mr. Yang, and if you have no opinion, you can book a room like this. ”
Song Yuqing took the water and went upstairs first.
"What kind of contradiction do you say Sister Song and Manager Zhou have?" Seeing Song Yuqing enter the room, Wang Wen asked Cao Mo sneakily, "Manager Zhou came to Kanem to ask for help, and Sister Song also put on a cold face and arranged a separate room for him in the hotel, is it impossible to wipe his face for a while?"
If it weren't for the intuition that Song Yuqing didn't have contradictions and entanglements in his heart, and even secretly proud of his unhappiness, Cao Mo would have guessed like Wang Wen, but now it is obviously not.
"How do I know that I'm not a roundworm in Manager Song's stomach?" Cao Mo urged Wang Wen to hurry up and ask Yang Deshan's opinion with the reception plan.
Cao Mo turned around and went upstairs, pushed the door and walked into Song Yuqing's room, and saw her sitting in front of the dresser, untying the ponytail that had been tied for a day, and her dense hair spread out like a streamer waterfall, making her face even more petite and bright.
Song Yuqing stayed in Ibogu for four days, without a change of clothes, she wore a traditional local coarse cloth batik dress, which has not yet been changed, and her bare snow-white feet stepped on the floor tiles, and her waist was straight from behind.
Song Yuqing looked over from the makeup mirror and said, "Don't ask what the reason is, I won't tell you." ”
Even through the refraction of the makeup mirror, her eyes are still so bright and deep, and her intuition tells Cao Mo that there is still a vein in her eyes, and she can't help but say excitedly: "I don't ask, I just want to hug you." ”
Without waiting for Cao Mo to walk over, Song Yuqing turned her head and came over fiercely: "You're not done yet, close the door quickly, I want to change my clothes." ”
Cao Mo was about to close the door with her backhand, but she saw Song Yuqing pick up the comb, come over and make a gesture to hit her, and reached out to grab her tender wrist.
Song Yuqing withdrew her hand after a long while, and said softly: "Don't make trouble, I will treat you and Wang Wen as younger brothers and sisters......
The woman's thoughts, Cao Mo really couldn't figure it out, he could feel that Song Yuqing's mind was calm at this time, like a lake without a trace of wind blowing, as if the previous tenderness had also been submerged at the bottom of the lake and disappeared.
Seeing that Song Yuqing was sure that she would not tell her what irreconcilable contradictions had with Zhou Jun, Cao Mo could only leave in disgust, and she couldn't say how she felt.
