Li Donglin accepted the criticism of the director, and he immediately called more than 30 laborers to clean up, these 30 laborers are all from the island country, Cao Xinru, as the director of the railway bureau, he has never seen how the laborers of the island country work, so he stopped and looked at these laborers.

Li Donglin said: "These laborers only came by boat from Yangon yesterday, and despite their short stature, they are still good at work. ”

Cao Xinru saw that a Chinese laborer had assigned tasks to these laborers, and after a short time, these laborers went to carry the cement placed on the ground, and they re-stacked the bags of cement neatly, and these laborers were also very motivated.

Cao Xinru asked Li Donglin: "Can they understand what the foreman said just now?" ”

"Returning to the Director, these laborers have been building railways in China for many years, so they can all understand Chinese, and most of them can speak Chinese."

Cao Xinru nodded with satisfaction: "They still have a brute strength when they do their work!" ”

Li Donglin said: "After so many years of training, they have already regarded themselves as a part of Huaxia, so they all work very hard, and there is no phenomenon of grinding foreign workers, besides, the treatment we give them now is not low, and they are happy to engage in their work." ”

Cao Xinru said: "Our emperor is too wise, and he doesn't know what spells he has cast on them, these widows are so dedicated." ”

At this time, a gust of wind blew, and the dust on the ground was rolled up, and Li Donglin said: "Lord Director, you better go to the headquarters to rest, there is too much dust here." ”

Cao Xinru said: "Aren't you also commanding on the spot, I can't be a high-ranking official, go, take me in and have a look." ”

"Then watch your step!" Li Donglin stretched out a hand to help Cao Xinru.

Cao Xinru was not happy, he didn't stretch out his hand to Li Donglin, he followed behind Li Donglin with his hands behind his back, and his driver parked the car and rushed over.

The three of them went around the square in a big circle before they came to the gate of the railway station, saying that it was the railway station, but it was still only four walls, and there were no beams.

"How's the foundation going?" Cao Xinru asked.

Li Donglin replied: "The foundation is laid in accordance with the requirements of the five-story building, there is absolutely no problem with the load-bearing, the entire foundation has been laid, and now the load-bearing wall is built, and after the load-bearing wall is built, you can go up the beams and cap the ......."

Cao Xinru asked: "How long will the construction period be?" ”

"Judging from the current construction progress, it can be completed in seven months."

Cao Xinru reminded: "Seven months to be able to complete the project is already a very high speed, you have to remember, I have repeatedly emphasized that the time does not require you to be fast, but the quality must be the best, if there is any accident, it is you who will go to prison, and then you don't blame me for not reminding you!" ”

"The lower officials obey the teachings!"

Cao Xinru patted Li Donglin on the shoulder: "You still need to pay close attention to the quality, especially those island country laborers, you can't be careless!" I still have something to do, so I'll go first. ”

Li Donglin said: "Director, don't you leave after eating?" ”

Cao Xinru said: "I still have to go to the dock to have a look, it's hard for you here!" ”

"Director, let me send you!"

Cao Xinru said humorously: "If you don't send me out, I really don't know how to get out." ”

The three of them returned the same way, and they saw that the more than 30 island laborers in the square were indeed working hard, and they had sorted out an area at this time, and the place they had just sorted out was very different from before, the bags of cement were stacked neatly, and the steel bars that were originally piled on the ground were also placed on the ground in bundles according to different sizes, which did not look messy at all.

Li Donglin sent Cao Xinru to the jeep, Cao Xinru took off her helmet and gave it back to Li Donglin: "If you want to put safety first, you better wear it!" ”

Li Donglin took the helmet and put it on his head: "The director has a good journey, and I won't send it anymore." ”

Cao Xinru raised his hand: "You go back, you can't do without you on the construction site." ”

Li Donglin didn't leave immediately, he watched Cao Xinru get into the jeep before saying goodbye to Cao Xinru.

The driver turned on the generator and asked, "Director, where are we going?" ”

Cao Xinru said: "Go to the dock and have a look." ”

……

Cao Xinru came to the wharf is already lunch time, the newly appointed mayor of Hankou City, is the oil city is the director of the construction bureau Cui Jiping, Mayor Cui is still busy on the wharf at this time, now for Cui Jiping, his focus of work is on the wharf, if there is a problem with the loading and unloading of the wharf, it will directly affect the construction of the entire African railway, so he moved his office to the wharf, sitting on the wharf.

Cao Xinru's car drove directly to the door of Cui Jiping's office, and Cui Jiping saw that it was Cao Xinru who got out of the car, and hurriedly greeted him.

Cui Jiping said with a smile: "My Director Cao, you will come to the dock in person without notifying, so that I can hold a warm welcome meeting for you!" ”

Cao Xinru and Cui Jiping are classmates and friends, and the relationship between the two is very unusual, so Cui Jiping is so funny.

Cao Xinru said: "Your welcome meeting is exempt, I came here to drink with you today!" ”

"It's better to come early than to come at a good time, Director Cao, you are really blessed, we are eating venison today, you smell the fragrance, right?" Cui Jiping grabbed Cao Xinru's hand as he spoke, "You said you wanted to come a few times but didn't see you coming, and today I finally looked forward to you!" ”

The two walked into Cui Jiping's shed with a smile and a smile.

Cao Xin came here for nothing else, in order to solve the problem of transporting materials for his railway bureau, Hankou Port is responsible for the heavy loading and unloading tasks of railway construction in Africa, and there can be no problems here, if the loading and unloading here is not timely, a large number of materials will be backlogged on ships at sea, which will not only delay the time of railway construction, but also bring great losses to railway construction, and the railway construction army is a very large team, and the waste caused by each day of delay will exceed hundreds of thousands of yuan.

Although there was also an Alexandria port to the west of the port of Hankow, the port was mainly responsible for the transportation of food and people, and the materials for railway construction were transshipped through the port of Hankow.

Cui Jiping complained to him while drinking with Cao Xinru: "The loading and unloading force of our Hankou wharf is already overloaded, and it is difficult for me to speed up again, do you know?" Now our dockers have changed from three shifts to two shifts, which greatly extends the working hours of our workers. ”

Cao Xinru said: "Your efforts are obvious to all, you tell the dock workers that their hard work is worth it, and we give them spiritual and material rewards." ”

Cui Jiping asked: "Can you take some people from your island country labor to work at the wharf to do portering work?" ”
