Fan Tianfu is busier than before. In the past, he went to the construction site less often and stayed for a short time, but now almost all the things on the construction site fall on him.

Fan Gong is too serious and tedious, and can only do some small and subtle work. Commanding engineering requires a bold talent, and Fan Tianfu has this talent, and this talent is very prominent, but he cannot devote his main energy here.

Everyone knows that now the decoration project is profitable and the investment is small, as long as you pull up a shelf, say that it is a decoration company, you can undertake the decoration project externally, as long as the project is in hand, it is equivalent to making money in hand.

The streets are full of decoration companies, and the project is limited after all. In this situation where there are more wolves and less meat, what company does not devote its main energy to contracting projects?

Tang Yuanbao was lying on the hospital bed and gritted his teeth in a hurry. Whenever Fan Tianfu and Lin Ximeng went to see him, he opened his mouth to ask how the project was doing and how the project was progressing, and the two of them had to comfort him and said that it was all good, and it was important to recuperate with peace of mind first.

As long as you can't hear from the company for a few days, you will write some sincere letters and send Xiaoshun back to the company.

By the time he was discharged from the hospital, Lin Ximeng had collected these letters into tens of thousands of words. Fan Tianfu's younger brother Fan Mingfu, who graduated from college and taught in a middle school in Wutong, saw that Fan Tianfu was very busy, and came to help as soon as the summer vacation came.

By the end of the summer vacation, he had already been nostalgic for here, and went back to sign a one-year contract with the school without pay, temporarily replacing Tang Yuanbao and being in charge of the engineering department.

In the power supply company project, Lin Ximeng didn't know how many legs he had run, and he ran between Cao Xiaoli's home and office again and again.

She pretended to be casual on the surface, waiting patiently. In fact, she was already exhausted. She led several projects to soak two in a row, which was really a bit unsupportable.

Whenever a project fails, she is sad not to say anything, and she feels even more difficult to face Fan Gong. Fan Gong is too serious and meticulous in his work, and every time he changes the drawings and budget, it means working overtime all night, which often makes her heart ache.

In the morning, Lin Ximeng just entered the office, and saw Fan Gong writing there with his head buried in it, and the fluorescent lamp above his head was still on.

Knowing that Fan Gong didn't close his eyes all night, he rushed to make the power supply company's budget. She took two eggs out of her bag and handed them over.

This was originally intended for Fan Tianfu. Fan Tianfu often skips breakfast, and when she found out, she brought him two eggs every morning.

Of course, this cannot be seen by Zhuo Qi. She said, "Fan Gong, go sleep for a while." Fan Gong raised his head, rubbed his eyes, hoarsely voiced, and said, "No, it'll be done in another hour." ”

"Fan Gong, how many times is this?"

"I forgot too, maybe it's the sixth time, right?"

"You're so tired, Fan Gong."

"Manager Lin, it doesn't matter if I'm tired, as long as I can get the project. Besides, there are so many people in the company, once the project is cut off and cannot be connected, everyone is in a hurry. ”

"Fan Gong, you haven't been home in a few months, have you?"

"It's been three months and three days."

"After signing the contract with the power supply company this time, you can go home and rest for a while, and your sister-in-law is really tired at home." As soon as Fan Gong heard Lin Ximeng mention his wife, he came to his senses and said, "Manager Lin, it's really not me who said, it's really hard to find a good person like my family." When I was harvesting wheat, I didn't go back, but my family sent a letter saying that she was struggling to harvest more than three acres of wheat by herself, and hoped that I would go back to help her. But the power supply company's project, I don't know when I have to re-issue drawings and budgets, and I didn't dare to leave. No, my family came with another letter yesterday, saying that the wheat had been harvested, asking me not to worry about it, and telling me to pay attention to rest and not to get tired. Manager Lin, my family is really good to me. Lin Ximeng felt sad in his heart.

It has been four months since I was paid, and no one in the company asked, and everyone was busy with their own work. As everyone knows, this enterprise is said to belong to the army, but in essence, it is Fan Tianfu's personal own.

The development of the enterprise is very difficult, and everyone's understanding of Fan Tianfu and the difficult understanding of the enterprise have all been turned into dedication and silent work.

This is simply incredible for Lin Ximeng, who has worked in the school. After Fan Gong finished writing the last number, she helped to check it with a calculator, and there were no mistakes, so she sorted out the page numbers, bound them into a book, and then let Fan Gong go back to the dormitory to sleep.

Before Fan Gong left the office, he suddenly remembered something, and he stopped talking, Lin Ximeng immediately asked, "Fan Gong, do you have anything to do?" Fan Gong hesitated.

"Just say anything, I'll do my best to help you." Lin Ximeng said sincerely. Fan Gong knew that she had misunderstood him, and immediately said, "It's not my business. That's the case, Manager Lin, I heard Wu Airen say that the Pearl Decoration Company gave Cao Xiaoli 50,000 yuan at one time. ”

"How does he know?"

"His brother works at the Pearl Decoration Company, and he said that the project is about to start."

"No way. Cao Xiaoli has already made an appointment with us to officially sign the construction contract tomorrow. ”

"I thought the same thing, but ......"

"Don't worry, Fan Gong. You're too tired, go to bed. ”

"Then I'll go to sleep, Manager Lin." Fan Gong left, Lin Ximeng grabbed the phone and dialed the power supply company.

"Hey, the power company?"

"yes, who are you looking for?"

"Please find Manager Cao."

"He went out. You're Manager Lin, right? ”

"Yes, Director Shen?"

"It's me, and I can tell it's you coming. What's the matter with you? "! Lin Ximeng scolded in his heart: What else can your aunt and grandmother do!

Before she could answer, Shen Jincai said, "Or is it about the project?" ”

"Yes, Manager Cao made an appointment to let us sign the contract on Monday, for fear that he would forget, call today to remind him, and don't go out the day after tomorrow. According to Manager Cao's opinion, we re-worked the drawing budget again......"

"He's already booked out."

"What?" Lin Ximeng really suspected that he had heard it wrong.

"He's already booked out with someone else."

"When?" She asked, suppressing the sudden rise of anger.

"Just last week."

"With whom?"

"Pearl."

"Okay, that's all."

"Goodbye."

"No, let me ask again, did they sign the contract?"

"Signed."

"Goodbye." On Monday morning, Fan Tianfu, Lin Ximeng, and Fan Gong appeared in Cao Xiaoli's office on time.

After sitting down, Lin Ximeng took the drawings and budget from Fan Gong's hand, put them in front of Cao Xiaoli's eyes, and said calmly: "Manager Cao, we have redone the budget and drawings according to your opinions, please take a look." If you feel that there is anything else that needs to be changed, we will go back and continue to change. Cao Xiaoli looked at his staff and said, "I don't need to look at it." ”

"In that case, let's start signing the contract." Hearing what she said, Cao Xiaoli took the drawing, opened it, and looked.

He looked at it for a moment and said, "Contract...... The contract cannot be signed. ”

"Why?" She stared at him,

"We came last week, didn't you say let's go back and revise the budget drawings and sign the contract today?"

"That's what it said at the time, but that's changed now." At this time, someone reminded Cao Xiaoli that there was a phone waiting for him downstairs.

Cao Xiaoli pulled out his legs and left. Lin Ximeng, the three of them, didn't wait for Cao Xiaoli to come back, and didn't see Cao Xiaoli come back for the second, knowing that he wanted to slip away.

Several staff members in the office began to take turns to persuade Fan Tianfu to leave.

"Manager Fan, forget it, he's already signed it anyway."

"We're going to ask for an explanation." Fan Tianfu said.

"What's the statement? It's useless to say anything more, so let's go back. ”

"It's not going to work."

"What if not? You can't carry him into the well anyway. Fan Tianfu sneered.

"Manager Cao, let's do the work of Manager Lin these days, I think Manager Fan, you should go back."

"It's not us who want to come today, it's Manager Cao who asked us to sign the contract at eight o'clock today."

"Didn't he already sign with Mingzhu?"

"If you signed it, why do you want us to sign it again? Why do we continue to work on budgets and draw drawings? ”

"yes, we're embarrassed, too. Every time I came to you, you were so hospitable. For so long, it's weird to get along with each other. When reporting to the general manager that day, everyone kept saying that Red Star was the most powerful, the design drawings were the most novel, and the price was correspondingly low. However, somehow, Manager Cao suddenly signed a contract with Mingzhu, and even we didn't expect it. But that's all it can be. Fan Gong sat there motionless; Lin Ximeng didn't say a word since Cao Xiaoli went out, his eyes fixed on a green ashtray on the table.

It was a large glass ashtray, green, with thick skin and prominent edges, and it contained a large half jar of ash, cigarette butts, and matchsticks.

She took the ashtray with her hand, put it in front of her heavily, and poured a cup of hot tea brought by Shen Jincai into it.

She looked at the full ashtray, her heart was calm, and her face seemed calmer than ever. She had calmed down from the tremendous shock and anger.

She saw that everyone was still persuading Fan Tianfu, and Cao Xiaoli didn't come back, so she spoke: "In this way, you go and call Manager Cao back, we just need him to answer positively, saying whether this project still needs us to do, it only takes three or two minutes, and then we will leave." We have a lot to do when we go back, and you're busy. Since Cao Xiaoli left, Lin Ximeng didn't say a word, and now that she said this, everyone quickly asked Shen Jincai to run and call Cao Xiaoli.

Shen Jincai called back Cao Xiaoli. Cao Xiaoli's face was ugly, he sat opposite Lin Ximeng, and asked, "Are you...... Looking for me? Fan Tianfu sat next to Lin Ximeng, and was about to speak, when Lin Ximeng kicked him from under the table.

She smiled and said, "Your subordinates just told you that you have signed a contract with someone else?" ”

"It's pretty much the same." Cao Xiaoli replied in a strange way.

"How do you count as 'basically'? Did you sign it, or didn't you sign it? ”

"It's kind of signed."

"What time?"

"Who can think so much, just these days. It's not that I said, you have come too many times, and the pearl decoration company has ordered ...... three times, "Son of a bitch!"

After signing the contract with others, he asked them to continue to work on the budget and draw drawings, without even notifying them of a phone call, and now they did not have the slightest sense of apology, but counted them to work seriously and responsibly.

She couldn't take it anymore, picked up the ashtray in front of her, and threw it in the face of the son of a bitch.

"Ah......" Cao Xiaoli howled, like a mad dog, and shouted wildly. He covered his face with one hand and groped for an ashtray with the other.

He stood up, his face covered with tea, cigarette ash, cigarette butts, and matchsticks, and he looked like a mad dog in the soup.

He covered his face, picked up the ashtray he touched from the ground and slammed it at Lin Ximeng's head. Fan Tianfu's eyes were quick, and he dragged Lin Ximeng behind him.

"Bang-" There was a loud bang, and the ashtray smashed on the cement wall behind Lin Ximeng. The ashtray shattered.

Everyone present was stunned by this sudden happening, and when they came back to their senses, they panicked and became a mess.

Cao Xiaoli grabbed the phone and shouted hoarsely: "Report it to me!" Report it to me! Come on! Your mother is a stinky × Shen Jincai, what are you waiting for? Come on! Come on! Hurry up and call the police......" Shen Jincai, who had been stunned for a long time, came back to his senses and ran out.

Other offices suddenly heard the shouting here and rushed to come, and someone went to call other leaders of the company.

In just a few minutes, the door of this office was flooded with water. Cao Xiaoli covered his bloody forehead, was pushed and pulled by everyone, and howled like a mad dog: "Lin Ximeng! You wait for me! Lin Ximeng has been blocked by Fan Tianfu.

The change in things was completely unexpected by Fan Tianfu, when everyone was panicked and in a hurry, he quickly calmed down, keenly observed every slight change in the situation, and reacted accordingly, not only making the other party feel that he was reasonable, but also appropriately protecting Lin Ximeng.

Lin Ximeng stood up and replied categorically: "Cao Xiaoli! I'm not afraid of Lin Ximeng's death, but I'm afraid to wait for you? ”

"You...... You...... You're a scoundrel! ”

"I'd rather be a scoundrel!" Two uniformed staff came from the public security police station and took Lin Ximeng away.

Fan Tianfu and a leader of the power supply company also followed. Cao Xiaoli was taken to the hospital.
