Chapter 378: Deliberate Delay
Liu Chengcheng and Su's father circled outside the door for a long time, and with her unremitting efforts, they finally sent him away temporarily.
The fear in Su Tiantian's heart was swept away, and she was even more convinced that Liu Chengcheng was the one who could save herself from fire and water.
She opened the door first, and thanked Liu Chengcheng excitedly: "Miss Liu, thank you for helping me." ”
"It's just a matter of effort." Liu Chengcheng responded politely, and then entered the room and said to Su Tiantian: "However, your stepfather is not easy to deal with, this time he only left temporarily because I was a guest of the village chief, and gave me face, and when I left the village in a few days, he would definitely look for you again, before that, I suggest you quickly find a way to escape." ”
Su Tiantian has never been out of the village, where is there a way to escape by herself.
Her heart panicked instantly, and she didn't have any idea at all.
As soon as Liu Chengcheng walked to the sofa and sat down, he heard a plop.
I saw Su Tiantian kneeling in front of her, her face full of begging.
"What are you doing here? Hurry up. Liu Chengcheng looked at Su Tiantian's actions in confusion, and reached out to pull her up.
Su Tiantian quickly avoided Liu Chengcheng's hand, and begged: "Miss Liu, I haven't been out of the village since I was a child, and even if I escape, I don't know where to go, and I will definitely be caught by my stepfather when the time comes." Can you take me with you, please! ”
"I'd love to help you, but you have to know that I'm not Canadian, and the most I can do is help you get out of the village, but what about after you leave?" Liu Chengcheng asked Su Tiantian with a look of embarrassment.
Su Tiantian's face crossed a touch of despair, if she just left the village, then you can imagine how sad she will be in the future.
Her heart couldn't help but retreat.
"Don't give up yet, we can think of a compromise, you can't continue to be persecuted by your stepfather." Liu Chengcheng saw that Su Tiantian was retreating, and hurriedly spoke out to comfort her.
Su Tiantian's heart rose with hope again, and she cautiously asked Liu Chengcheng, "Can you take me to your country with you?" ”
"I can't say yes to that." Liu Chengcheng rejected Su Tiantian without thinking about it, and then explained to her: "I went abroad to travel with my son, and now the journey has just begun, and it will take a long time to return to China, it is inconvenient to take you around, and the language used in my country is different from here, it will take a long time for you to relearn the language and adapt to the new environment." This is not a wise approach, so let's think of another appropriate approach. ”
After speaking, Liu Chengcheng lowered his head and thought seriously.
Su Tiantian felt that what Liu Chengcheng said made sense, so she didn't bother Liu Chengcheng again.
Time passed for a while, and when Liu Chengcheng raised his head again, he found that Su Tiantian was still kneeling straight in front of him, which startled her.
She hurriedly stretched out her hand to help Su Tiantian: "Why are you still kneeling, hurry up, I have already thought of a way for you." ”
"Really? What's the solution, let's talk about it. With Liu Chengcheng's support, Su Tiantian stood up, she was so excited that she couldn't take care of her painful knee, and hurriedly asked out loud.
Liu Chengcheng gave Su Tiantian a slightly calm look, and carefully helped her to sit down on the sofa before he said his idea: "I will end my work here as soon as possible and take you out of the village, and I will send you directly to the capital to work and live when the time comes." Do you think that's okay? ”
"Yes, of course." Su Tiantian responded happily, and then she seemed to think of something, the smile on the corner of her mouth suddenly disappeared, and she asked Liu Chengcheng with a look of embarrassment: "The money I earned is all in my stepfather's hands, he will definitely not return it to me, how should I live when I leave?" ”
Liu Chengcheng thought it was a big deal, but he didn't expect it to be just an economic problem.
She showed a smile that reassured Su Tiantian, and then responded: "Don't worry, I will provide you with food and lodging before you find a job." ”
"Really?" Su Tiantian looked at Liu Chengcheng incredulously and confirmed to her excitedly.
Liu Chengcheng smiled and nodded affirmatively at Su Tiantian: "Of course it's true, you can rest assured." ”
Su Tiantian stood up excitedly, then knelt down in front of Liu Chengcheng with a plop, and said gratefully: "Miss Liu, thank you very much, I will definitely remember your kindness, if you have a place for me in the future, I am willing even if I am a cow and a horse." ”
Liu Chengcheng was taken aback by Su Tiantian's actions again.
She stood up abruptly and pulled her up: "Why do you kneel down at every turn?" In my eyes, these things are just a gesture, and I didn't think about getting anything from you, you really don't have to. ”
Su Tiantian was pulled up from the ground by Liu Chengcheng again, and then thanked her a few times before giving up.
……
The next day, Liu Chengcheng came to the village chief's house with the investigation materials in one hand and a laptop in the other.
Mo Chuan, who arrived one step earlier, saw the things she was holding, and asked with a puzzled face, "Why are you taking so many things?" ”
"I have something to go back to deal with, we are almost done, and we can survey some project details today, can we catch up with the progress? Make a plan as soon as possible. Liu Chengcheng wanted to send Su Tiantian away as soon as possible, so she found an excuse to propose to Mo Chuan to speed up the progress of the work.
Mo Chuan's eyes darkened, and he quickly hid the dissatisfaction on his face.
He cleared his throat and replied with a pretended indifferent attitude: "Yes! As long as the survey is detailed, you can start writing the plan today. ”
"Thank you." Liu Chengcheng didn't notice Mo Chuan's abnormality, and sincerely thanked him.
After that, Liu Chengcheng finished breakfast as fast as she could, and before she could start digesting it, she urged the village chief and Mo Chuan to set off quickly.
The group then walked to the holiday villa under construction in the village.
"Mr. Mo, Miss Liu, this is the villa area of our resort, and our intention is to build twelve two-story single-family villas with a swimming pool and a small front yard. But according to this standard planning, the spacing between each villa will be very large, and it will look sparse and unsightly, which is also one of the projects you have to solve. The village chief pointed to the construction site in front of him and introduced it to Mo Chuan and Liu Chengcheng.
Liu Chengcheng wrote down the questions raised by the village chief in his notebook, and then actively walked around the front of the construction site, and found that the interval between the villas was indeed larger, and he needed to find a way to adjust.
She walked quickly to the car, opened her laptop and quickly inquired about the exterior construction of villas at home and abroad, hoping to get inspiration from it and solve the problems she was currently encountering.
It's so positive! Is that all she wants to leave quickly?
Mo Chuan, who was not far away, stared at Liu Chengcheng with burning eyes, his eyes full of lost emotions.
"Found it." Liu Chengcheng happily pressed the enter key, picked up the computer and ran to the village chief and Mo Chuan, pointed to the computer screen and introduced: "We can create a small garden landscape at the interval, which looks beautiful and can solve the spacing problem." What do you guys think? ”
Mo Chuan looked at the illustration on the computer screen, and actually agreed with Liu Chengcheng's proposal in his heart, but the words he said meant something else.
"The cost of the landscape is not low, which will increase the amount of investment, and it needs to be agreed by the Canadian government, not to mention, how the final effect will be presented, and it will be determined after the completion of the mouth, which is too risky." Mo Chuan tactfully rejected Liu Chengcheng's suggestion.
Liu Chengcheng nodded approvingly, and humbly asked Mo Chuan for advice: "Then Mr. Mo, do you have any high ideas to solve this problem?" ”
Mo Chuan held his chin in his hand and looked at the construction site in front of him with a serious face, looking like he was thinking about a solution.
Liu Chengcheng and the village chief didn't dare to disturb him, and silently stepped aside, patiently waiting for the results of his thinking.
After about five minutes, Mo Chuan retracted his gaze, turned his head and said his opinion: "I think we can move the garage set up in the courtyard to the interval between the villas, which can increase the area of the courtyard and solve the problem of appearance, what do you think?" ”
"Mr. Mo's idea is good, not only will the problem be solved, but the project money will not increase, let alone apply to the government, which can be described as a lot of money!" The village chief took the lead in affirming Mo Chuan's suggestion.
Liu Chengcheng glanced at Mo Chuan with admiration, and then praised him: "Mr. Mo is worthy of being in the shopping mall for so many years, this idea is very good." ”
Liu Chengcheng's praise made Mo Chuan so useful that he ignored the first half of her sentence.
He glanced at Liu Chengcheng meaningfully and said: "This is just my preliminary suggestion, whether it can be completed or not will need to go through a series of measurements to reach a conclusion, let's start without further ado!" ”
After speaking, Mo Chuan did not wait for the two of them to answer, and took the lead into the construction site.
……
"Miss Liu, please take the ruler well, measure it against the corner of the wall, and go over a little more."
Mo Chuan took the other end of the ruler, squatted next to the villa under construction, and commanded Liu Chengcheng on the other end of the ruler in a loud voice.
Liu Chengcheng took the ruler with a displeased face, followed Mo Chuan's command, and reluctantly moved the ruler in his hand.
"Alright." Mo Chuan stood up, and then ordered Liu Chengcheng: "Next, measure the interval of the villa next to you." ”
After speaking, Mo Chuan took the tape measure and strode towards the villa next to him.
There is a standard distance between villas, and the error will not be much, Liu Chengcheng doesn't understand why Mo Chuan wants to measure one after another.
If this continues, not only will the progress of the work not be accelerated, but the workload and time will be increased.
"Mr. Mo, there's no need to measure it, right? There is a record in the construction drawings, and the interval error here is up to ten centimeters, isn't this an extra move? Liu Chengcheng asked dissatisfiedly following behind Mo Chuan.
Mo Chuan's footsteps paused, and the strongest evoked a wicked smile, but it quickly returned to its original state.
He turned his head with a serious face and replied to Liu Chengcheng: "The width of the interval is larger for the garage, I want to leave a passage on the side, whether it can be done depends on all the intervals reaching a certain width, and the error is within this ten centimeters. ”
Forehead! Preferably so.
Liu Chengcheng pursed his lips, and could only follow Mo Chuan to continue to measure.
At the end of the day, Liu Chengcheng didn't do anything, so he followed Mo Chuan in the villa area, measuring the distance between the villas for a while, and making trouble for Mo Chuan what he felt was inappropriate.
Liu Chengcheng always felt that Mo Chuan was dragging time, but he had no evidence.
During this period, she quarreled with Mo Chuan many times for progress, but in the end it was to no avail, he still pointed out a bunch of unreasonable things for her to do.
In fact, Mo Chuan had a hunch that after the resort's case was over, he would have no chance to contact Liu Chengcheng.
In order to get along with Liu Chengcheng more, he will delay time intentionally or unintentionally.
