Chapter 377: The Promised Wedding
Wang Xuan was one of the several construction engineers trained by Yushi Group when he was in Anhui.
In addition to the original headquarters building in Wuhu, the more than 20-story buildings in Anqing and later the high-rise buildings built in Wuhu and Dangtu cities were largely designed by Wang Xuan and other engineers.
Incidentally, these buildings were designed and built successfully, and it was precisely because of this that Yan Shao had the confidence to build such a building with more than 100 floors.
Otherwise, Yan Shao is not interested in doing something that he is not sure of...
And for Wang Xuan, the 'miracle building' that Yan Shao wants to build this time is also a great opportunity for him, after all, the tallest building at present is the 50-storey Woolworth Building, if he can design and build a building with more than 100 floors, it will definitely be able to shock the whole world, and his name will also spread throughout the world, and he can leave his name in the history books.
What's more, when looking for Wang Xuan, Yan Shao also said his thoughts, that is, the inferiority complex of the Chinese people is too strong, and they need some heart boosters to cheer up the Chinese people.
In these years, most of the people who are willing to study science and engineering have a strong sense of patriotism, and they want to use it to serve the country after completing their studies, and Wang Xuan is naturally the same. Now that there is such an opportunity, Wang Xuan is naturally willing to ...
In fact, most of his colleagues are like this, so while designing and building the presidential palace, they are also working hard to design the blueprint of the 'miracle building'ββββββ' which is the name of the building in the current plan, because in this era buildings with more than 100 floors are like miracles. That's why it's such a name...
"As long as he can do something beneficial for the country, Wang will not hesitate to do anything!"
Heard Wang Xuan say this. Yan Shao was also a little moved.
"Okay, then I'll leave it all to you..."
Just as Yan Shao and Wang Xuan were standing in the center of the lobby talking, the workers working around were also secretly looking at Yan Shao. For them, Yan Shao is usually only seen in the newspaper, and this is the first time that he has been so close to him.
And in their eyes, they are also full of respect and even love.
Although Yan Shao has been the president for no more than a hundred days, these ordinary workers have already felt great changes. The reduction of the large number of exorbitant taxes has made their income barely enough to make ends meet, and at least some money is left over for a month to buy a new dress for their wives. Buy some candy for your child to eat...
And now there are a lot of government-funded projects in Beijing, such as new streets and other things, which require a lot of labor. If you want some long-term work. There are also a large number of factories being built in Beijing and nearby areas, and the owners of those factories are recruiting workers in the city, and they can also go to work in the factories if they wish, although it is hard. But the income should also be much more stable...
Maybe it's hard to live like this. But for these ordinary people, there is much more hope than in the past...
And all this happened after Yan Shao came to Beijing, so they all know very well who brought these to them...
ββββββββββββββββββββ
It was not clear what the busy workers around them were thinking, and while Yan Shao and Wang Xuan were talking, Li Liang and the others also walked back from the surroundings.
Although the cost of this presidential palace is not low, and even half of it has not been built, they still have to admit that it is indeed worth the price...
They are even beginning to look forward to their own headquarters buildingββββββ which is under construction, as is the case with the presidential palace, with buildings from other ministries such as the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of National Defense, and the Ministry of Industry. Of course. It's certainly not as luxurious as Yan Shao's presidential palace, but it's pretty good.
It's just that Yan Shao's presidential palace is ranked in the most important position. So this is built before other departments, and other departments ...
Although it has been started and built, it is only a prototype that can be seen now, and I am afraid that it will take more than a month to barely see what it looks like. If you want to complete the project, I am afraid it will take at least three months.
Seeing Li Liang's admiration, Yan Shao was also interested for a while.
found a design of the presidential palace, although he had seen it many times, but he still looked at it very seriously.
Although the presidential palace has only three floors, it also has an elevatorββββββ of course, it is only 20% of the construction now, and there is no need to think about the elevator or something.
However, according to the design, after stepping out of the elevator, the first thing you will see is the 200-meter-long marble gallery, and at the end of the marble gallery is Yan Shao's presidential office.
The area of the president's office is huge, which is also Yan Shao's request, and it may be an exaggeration to say that he can play basketball, but in fact, it is not too much. Since the office is on the third floor, you can see everything outside the residence, and the sunlight shines in from the outside, which also makes the office look very bright.
At the same time, in addition to the small door in the office, there are three other doors.
One of them leads to the bathroom, one is a storage room (secret room), and the other is a lounge, which is used for resting after work. In addition, there are many living facilities in the office, and these layouts are all done according to Yan Shao's intentions, so it is very much his heart.
ββββββββββββββββββββ
Seeing that it was almost dark, Yan Shao left the presidential palace with Li Liang and others, but when it was nightfall, Yan Shao and Elaline came again, but this time it was no longer the office area in the first half, but the living area in the second half.
After all, this is a place where Yan Shao and the others will live for a long time in the future, so naturally they have to take a good look.
"How? If there is anything unsatisfactory, bring it up, and it should be no problem to change it now..."Seeing that Elano and the others kept looking around, Yan Shao said with a smile.
"There's nothing to be dissatisfied with...", fingers slid over the still rough wall. Elaline looked outside. Even though it was already past 9 o'clock in the evening, there were still many workers busy there.
After all, it is such a large official residence, and it can be built to this extent in more than two months. It's almost impossible if it's not for 24-hour hustle and bustle.
Elaline had already seen the blueprints, and she was very pleased with the layout.
Standing beside Yan Shao, with her arms in her arms, Caterina looked like she didn't care. As for Lu Ying, she kept looking at Chao, looking very curious.
And then there's...
Without...
Originally, Yan Shao wanted to call Kaoru Otsuki too, but it was already more than 9 o'clock in the middle of the night. It is the most suitable time for children to rest, so Kaoru Otsuki must be by Fumiko's side, so naturally it is impossible to come with them.
Let alone...
Kaoru Otsuki is a 'guest' after all. If you call her too, it's hard to say whether it will arouse the suspicion of Eleno and them, and Yan Shao doesn't dare to underestimate their wisdom at all, so naturally he should be cautious...
Then the four of them wandered around other places. Intend to familiarize yourself with it before you move in.
After moving here, though. It doesn't mean that they have to abandon the manor that was just built, but considering Yan Shao's work, they may not live here for less time than they live in the manor.
It's just that it's only a third of the home...
The reason why he said this is because Yan Shao did not intend to be a dictator, and basically at least after meeting the conditions of constitutionalism, he could retire successfully. Although no one knows exactly how long this time is, Yan Shao has to leave here one day after all. So this is only a third of Yan Shao's home...
And then...
Although Elaline and the others were just thinking about walking around the living quarters to see what they were going to be like in the future. But I don't know why, Yan Shao actually brought them to the office area, and took them into the banquet hall that can accommodate tens of thousands of people...
Of course, at the moment, this banquet hall that can accommodate tens of thousands of people is just an open space with this flat ground, and there is not even a roof...
ββββββββββββββββββββ
"How? It's spacious enough..."
Standing in the middle of the field, which was even bigger than a football field, Yan Shao looked at Elano and them with pride...
The entire ballroom covers an area of 15,000 square meters, which is equivalent to the size of 11 basketball courts.
Although you can 'look up at the starry sky' directly above your head, in this day and age, standing in such a space is not necessarily much less shocking than standing in front of the Empire State Building. In fact, if a certain number of stone columns were not used in the design to support the entire building, such a huge hall would not have been built with the technology of this era...
It's definitely the most spacious building of our time, and it will be for a long time to come.
In order to create such a huge space, Wang Xuan and the others almost tried their best, and finally built this place, and at least half of the cost of the entire presidential palace was spent on this hall.
On the other hand, although the entire banquet hall has not yet been completed, Eleno and the others are still very shocked when they imagine the scene after the completion of this place, but after barely recovering their mood, Caterina mocked. "What, you want to show us the greatness of this building?"
Although Elano and Lu Ying didn't say much, they also glanced at Yan Shao with some dissatisfaction.
After noticing this, Yan Shao hurriedly explained.
"Of course not, I mean, what do you think of our wedding here?"
"Wedding?"
Hearing Yan Shao say this, Elaline and the others were stunned for a moment, and then said in disbelief.
"That's right, of course it's a wedding..."Seeing their surprised looks, Yan Shao also looked a little helpless. Otherwise, what would I do if I built such a big space..."
That's right, it's a wedding...
From 03 to now, 10 years have passed, and after a period of time, it will be 11 years, which means that Yan Shao and Elano have been together for ten years.
In such an era, ordinary lovers who have been together for 10 years may have already been married. In fact, this is also true in later generations, after all, lovers who have not been married for 10 years are not forced by life or other reasons, there is only one reason...
They didn't plan to get married...
But in such an era. If the lovers haven't been married for ten years, I'm afraid it will be a bit criticized.
In the past 10 years, Yan Shao has not married Elainor for a simple reason.
Because he hopes to give them a stable life, instead of running from France to the United States, and then from the United States to Mexico as they did in the past, and waiting until they return to China, because of Yan Shao's own purpose. This adds a certain danger to their lives, and in this case, it is naturally even more unsuitable for marriage.
That is, in this case, time passes little by little. As a result, 10 years have passed, Yan Shao and they are still lovers, and in the past 10 years, in order to avoid danger. They also don't have any offspring ...
But now it's different. Although there will be many dangers in the future, at least it is difficult to threaten their lives. Then Yan Shao can naturally complete the transformation from lovers to husband and wife with them.
And 10 years ...
In the past 10 years, Yan Shao has been indebted to them for a wedding, and Yan Shao once promised them a grand wedding...
This is also the reason why Yan Shao wanted to build such a monster for Yan...
For a grand wedding, the first thing to solve is the venue, at least as a man, Yan Shao understands it so. That's why Yan Shao asked Wang Xuan to come out of such a hall...
In fact, when designing such a hall, Wang Xuan once told Yan Shao that if such a monster was built, the cost would probably be very high.
And Yan Shao's answer is also very simple...
"Get me as high as I can..."
A debt of ten years, let alone 350 million. For Yan Shao, even if it is worth building a building with three or five billion.
The only thing that makes him feel sorry is that the architectural level of this era has limitations after all, and many pillars have been made out here when it can be built into a pillarless hall in later generations. The momentum of the entire hall has weakened a lot.
However, with Wang Xuan's efforts, there is still an area of seven or eight thousand square meters in the center of the hall without a single pillar, which can be regarded as making Yan Shao a little satisfied...
ββββββββββββββββββββ
Looking at this banquet hall, which made him feel a little awkward, Yan Shao felt both proud and regretful. Of course, I am proud because this is the largest banquet hall in the world, but unfortunately because of the problem of technique, there are a lot of pillars in the hall, which makes Yan Shao feel a little obstructive.
"If the wedding is really held here, these pillars will have to be decorated..."Stroking his chin with his hand, Yan Shao said secretly in his heart.
On the other hand, even the most indifferent Elaline was a little excited.
Marriage, wedding...
It seems like a distant topic to them...
At this time, they were already 27 years old, and even the youngest Lu Ying was 24 years old. Although I don't know why the years don't seem to have left traces on their faces, their mentality is still much more mature than 10 years ago...
If ordinary women are concerned, most of them are already married at their age, and most of them have already given birth to children, and then quit their jobs to take care of their children at home every day...
And because of Yan Shao's work, they are still just lovers with him after 10 years of love...
However, Yan Shao has promised them that as long as the current problem is solved, he will marry them and then organize a perfect family, which is probably what they are looking forward to the most.
It's just that after the National Social Army defeated Yuan Shikai and he took Yuan Shikai's place, the matter about the wedding was never mentioned again...
Although they have always believed in Yan Shao, after more than 3 months, there are still a few doubts in their hearts...
"Are you afraid of controlling him after getting married? Or is it because of who they are? β
The former Elaline is not very worried, they have been together for ten years, they still know Yan Shao very well, if he is really worried about this, Elaline and they can find a way to relieve him of this doubt...
But the latter...
As I once said, China in this era is very xenophobic...
Yan Shao's current identity is the president, and the current national government is extremely authoritarian, so his wife is equivalent to the queen or the mother of the country. The mother of the country, the mother of the country, the mother of a country, two of Yan Shao's wives are foreigners, which naturally makes many people talk about it...
Of course, you can also say that there is also a Lu Ying, but in fact, her identity is even more embarrassing than Elainor.
Because she was once sold into the Qinglou by her gambler father (recently so-and-so wind is very strong, not to mention a certain courtyard), although the front foot was redeemed by Yan Shao as soon as the back foot entered, but this is still a stain on many people, and the problem is even bigger than Elanon's...
Caterina was in charge of the Secret Service, and she was naturally very clear about what the people were saying about them.
So after Yan Shao didn't mention marriage for 3 months in a row, the three of them inevitably worried about whether Yan Shao would be for this reason, so in the past three months, several times the three of them even stayed up all night...
Who knows...
"Originally, I wanted to tell you a long time ago, but seeing that you were worried and afraid to ask, I don't know what Lu Dao is and suddenly I think it is very interesting, so I have been hiding it until now and want to surprise you, how about it? Surprised?! Nostalgic for the expressions of Elaline and the others in the past period, Yan Shao asked with a slightly enjoyable smile.
Elaline and the others said that they were indeed very surprised, but they didn't know what Lu Dao was for, looking at Yan Shao's smiling face as if he was enjoying it, Elaline and the others suddenly wanted to give him a few punches, even Lu Ying, who had always been a husband and wife...
Hawkers, it's better to act than to move... (To be continued......)
