Chapter 11: Opportunity

"Soft water erosion and acid corrosion." Gu Shuhan said: "The cause of corrosion in this part of the cement is not the same as the cement that cracks due to wheel rolling. Dare to ask if the problem of cement in the place where acids are stored in the house is particularly strict? ”

"Yes. The place where the vinegar is stored in the kitchen and the cement in the real room of the little sister have cracks. ”

"No wonder ......," Gu Shuhan said, "there are calcium hydroxide and calcium aluminate hydrate with corrosive components in the cement, and the cement itself is not dense and has capillary pores. Therefore, in places where there are acids, strong alkalis and salts, a protective layer should be added. ”

Ruan Xiuming didn't read much, and he was already dizzy by Gu Shuhan, and he only understood the last sentence Gu Shuhan said.

"Miss Gu, you're amazing." He praised it from the bottom of his heart. Probably because he himself doesn't understand this, so when he sees people who understand this, he admires it very much.

"Nothing, just the basics." Gu Shuhan looked at Bai Shao and bowed solemnly to him: "I'm sorry, in the final analysis, it was the factory's failure to do a good job that made such a big mistake in this project." As the new factory director, I apologize for this. The factory is willing to take a penny, all the places where the cement has been paved in the Bai Mansion are reworked, I don't know how to do it under the Bai Shaoyi? ”

"Don't take a penny, rework?" Bai Shao raised his eyebrows: "You are a sincere person." ”

"There are quality problems in the construction process of our factory, and it should be so. Although I don't know what the former director was like when he was there, now that I am the factory director, this is my rule. ”

"Although your attitude is commendable, how can you be sure that my Bai family will trust your factory again?"

In fact, in the conversation just now, Bai Shao had already affirmed Gu Shuhan's professional level, but for some reason, he just couldn't help but want to tease her and see how panicked she looked. It was the first time Bai Shao had seen such a woman, she didn't even look like a person, but like a most rigorous and precise working machine. It would be fun to be able to tear off her calm shell, he thought.

However, he was doomed to be disappointed, because Gu Shuhan didn't even raise his eyebrows: "If that's the case, I deeply regret it." The factory will refund all the construction money paid by the Bai family, and the loss will be borne by the factory. ”

Looking at Gu Shuhan's serious expression that had not changed from beginning to end, for some reason, Bai Shao rarely had some inquiring heart. Probably because the people he came into contact with were either lively and delicate new-style women, or old-style women who followed the old system and only thought about their husbands and children, and he had never met a woman like Gu Shuhan, who seemed to want to devote herself to her career.

"Aren't you tired of wearing a face like this every day?"

Gu Shuhan looked at Bai Shao strangely, as if he was surprised that Bai Shao would ask such a non-nutritious question. However, are they familiar enough to make casual small talk?

Anyway, now Bai Shao is her customer, and the customer is God, as long as it is not too demanding or too tricky questions, she should answer. She thought for a while and said, "I think, when Bai Shao was working, he was the same as me. ”

In Gu Shuhan's view, this question has no practical significance.

…… actually answered so seriously. Ruan Xiuming's shoulders trembled, how could he think this Miss Gu was so cute? Obviously so shrewd when it comes to work, and in some ways, simple enough! Didn't she see that her ill-intentioned cousin was teasing her? Well, it's all his fault that his cousin asks people so seriously, causing them to answer a professional question solemnly.

Gu Shuhan looked at Ruan Xiuming suspiciously, shaking like a sieve, and wondered even more, feeling that Bai Shao and the people under him were strange enough.

Bai Shao finally accepted the offer of reworking the cement factory, and Gu Shuhan personally supervised the work, and rebuilt all the inside and outside of Bai's house, and added a protective layer to the places that needed special protection.

What embarrassed Gu Shuhan was that when Gu Shuhan came to Bai's house for the first time, she was mistaken for Bai Shao's girlfriend, and Mrs. Bai took her hand and asked for warmth vigorously, not to mention how affectionate her attitude was.

Gu Shuhan has just passed her nineteenth birthday, Bai Yu is four years older than her, she is twenty-three this year, and she once had a fiancΓ©e, the other party is the daughter of a warlord who is a family member of the Bai family. Based on the interests of both families, the two got engaged early, and later both went abroad to study. After returning home, this young lady was no longer satisfied with an arranged marriage. In order to pursue true love, he eloped with his lover on the eve of the wedding, which made the Bai family lose face.

Later, the Bai family became powerful, and the family gradually declined, and there were fewer people who mentioned this matter, and even when they talked about it, they mostly ridiculed the young lady for being blind. But since then, Bai Yu has not been interested in women, and there are scenes on the spot, but most of them are a few words, but there is no one who can really take them home. Seeing that her son's eldest still had no idea of starting a family, Mrs. Bai was so anxious that she couldn't do it, but the previous failed marriage was set by her, and she was already ashamed in her heart, so she didn't dare to force her son anymore at this time.

Now the Bai family doesn't need to marry, and Mrs. Bai doesn't want her future daughter-in-law to be from a high family, as long as she is a child of a good family and has her son's favor. Therefore, seeing that her son personally brought Gu Shuhan back, Mrs. Bai was so excited, thinking that her son had finally opened his mind and planned to settle down. Gu Shuhan was born well, and at first glance she is a clean and self-conscious woman, if her son likes her, Mrs. Bai will not object. When I asked, Gu Shuhan only came to supervise the work, and he was married and had children, and Mrs. Bai suddenly returned to a state of pity.

Gu Shuhan breathed a sigh of relief, being caught by Mrs. Bai and asking a question like that was really unbearable. Besides, she was not familiar with the Bai family, and she was even more embarrassed, but fortunately, she didn't meet Mrs. Bai much later.

The Bai family has a large population, and although Gu Shuhan and her construction team mostly work outdoors and rarely go indoors, they are basically complete. Prime Minister Bai married a wife, Mrs. Sanfang, Mrs. Bai gave birth to a son and a daughter, respectively, the eldest young master Bai Yu and the third miss Bai Shu, the third aunt Mrs. Qin's gave birth to the eldest Miss Bai Jiao and the second young master Bai Ji, the second aunt Tai Li gave birth to the second Miss Bai Wan and the fifth Miss Bai Yan, and the third aunt Tai Zhao gave birth to the fourth Miss Bai Jing.

The two young masters are adults and have their own jobs, in addition to the eldest Miss Bai Jiao, who is married to a wife, the eldest second Miss Bai Wan is only seventeen years old, and she has to go out to study every day. Mrs. Bai often goes out to socialize, but the three aunts and wives stay at home all day.

There are many people, there are many lawsuits, and the relationship between several aunts and wives and the following ladies is not very harmonious, so there must be some signs. The eldest aunt Tai Qin also had a lot of complaints about Mrs. Bai, but because of Mrs. Bai's methods, she was still respectful to Mrs. Bai in person.

Whenever these times came, the construction team began to pretend to be deaf and dumb, as if they had not seen anything. Gu Shuhan sincerely hoped that they would not be killed because they bumped into some yin deaths in the Bai family's inner house. Fortunately, Aunt Bai's wife and the ladies are still a little measured, just arguing and sarcastically saying a few words to each other, knowing that there are outsiders, they don't dare to do something very out of the ordinary.

has been here many times, and Gu Shuhan also met Premier Bai once.

Premier Bai looks quite literati, very gentle, but much more burly and strong than literati, and his eyes are full of wisdom. He praised the construction mode of Gu Shuhan and others: "Miss Gu is young, but I didn't expect that after taking over the factory, she would do better than the former director Gu." If those factories outside have Miss Gu's construction attitude and professionalism, what else do I have to worry about! ”

Although he was praising Gu Shuhan, he frowned, obviously encountering something.

Bai Yu trotted forward a few steps, attached to Premier Bai's ear and said: "Father, no, the knives produced by the Chen Family Knife Workshop can only be used as ordinary farm tools, and they are curled up when they are cut into hard stones. If it is used to make a saber, I am afraid that it will not work, and Uncle Qin will be nerve-wracking. This is not a confidential matter, so Bai Yu did not deliberately lower his voice.

The knives forged by craftsmen who build weapons in the private sector were still in the past, and they can be compared with the most advanced steel knives in foreign countries today, which is nothing. After all, the smelting technology is limited, and most of the tools created are pig iron knives, which cannot even meet the standards of steel, let alone high-quality steel. Pig iron is hard and brittle, and although it can hurt the enemy, it is also very easy to be broken by steel knives in the event of a confrontation.

The quality of weapons on the battlefield is a matter of life, and naturally we must not be careless.

Premier Bai patted Bai Yu on the shoulder: "Look again, be sure to find a factory that can produce good knives." It's really not good, so we bought good steel and let's find someone to forge it ourselves, and the people below are working hard, and there must always be a satisfactory weapon. You know what is the state of our government in the South today...... Recently, some people have been persuading me to be soft with those foreign devils. But how would they know, it's not that I don't want to accept this softness. Those foreign devils will be the most able to inch in, step by step, step by step, where is there any independence and sovereignty at all! He took the cigarette roll and slowly spit out a smoke ring: "I don't believe in this evil, I don't believe it, without those little foreign devils, we can't do anything!" ”

The rejection of olive branches by the southern government from the West is not new news in the several provinces under his rule. Many literati applauded and admired Premier Bai's integrity, but some people were worried that if they annoyed Western countries, they would no longer export weapons to the southern government, and would more likely turn to support other forces to shave off the thorn in the head of Premier Bai's southern government.

Listening to these words, Gu Shuhan realized that the opportunity she had been waiting for had come.

"Prime Minister, since you haven't found a suitable steel knife for the time being, how about trying the steel knife in my factory?" The cement concrete pavement pavement project is nearing completion, and the batch of steel backlogged in the warehouse has been rebuilt to reach a certain quality strength.

At first, Gu Shuhan estimated that there would be a market for steel knives, and someone had already produced a batch of them, although the amount was not large, but it could just be taken out and thrown into stones to ask for directions.

"Oh?" Premier Bai didn't expect Gu Shuhan to suddenly speak, and a pair of sharp and capable eyes looked at her.
