The person standing outside the door was Fang Darong.

Seeing Fang Darong, Gu Shen's eyes flashed with surprise, but after reacting, he immediately said hello: "Brother Fang, why are you here, come in quickly."

Gu Shen turned his body sideways to welcome Fang Darong in.

Fang Darong could see Li Yulan and Dabao who were eating in the living room at a glance.

Li Yulan didn't know who Fang Darong was, she stood up and smiled at him.

Dabao held a big chicken leg in his hand and looked over curiously.

"Are you eating?" Fang Darong said.

"Well, we're having dinner, have you eaten yet? Would you like to have some together?" Gu Shen asked.

Fang Darong shook his head and refused: "I won't go in, mainly because I have something to do with you."

Gu Shen understood and said with a smile, "I just finished eating, why don't we go out and talk?"

Fang Darong nodded . , took the lead to walk to the corridor outside the door, and said at the same time: "I'll be waiting for you downstairs."

Gu Shen responded, went back to the room and washed his hands, posing as if he was going to go out.

"Dad, are you going out?" Dabao asked.

"Well, I'll be back soon." Gu Shen replied and said to Li Yulan, "Then I'm going out."

Li Yulan nodded.

When Gu Shen went downstairs, Fang Darong was already waiting downstairs.

He took the initiative to pass a cigarette over, Fang Darong took it after a meal.

"I came to see you today for one thing." Fang Darong said straight to the point after taking a puff of cigarette.

Gu Shen pretended to be willing to hear the details: "Brother Fang, please tell me."

"You know the north side of the city is currently under construction, right? There used to be a large area of ​​farmland. A section of the road needs to be repaired, so I will ask your company if they can afford it."

When Gu Shen heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and then he couldn't believe it.

This is the first time he has been exposed to such a level of engineering.

After reacting, Gu Shen immediately said: "If we have this opportunity, of course we can eat it!"

This must be eaten too, and I want to know how much benefits can be obtained if we undertake such a project.

"That's fine, you go to the Ministry of Construction tomorrow to talk to Director Li." Fang Darong said firmly.

Gu Shen didn't expect things to go so smoothly, and when he saw Fang Darong was about to leave after he finished talking, he couldn't help but asked, "Brother Fang, can I know why you want to help us?

" He went directly to Director Li of the Ministry of Construction, indicating that he must have contributed to this matter.

Gu Shen and Fang Darong had only met once, and they couldn't figure out why he would help him. And compared to the time when he took over the project through various entertainments, the current big project is like a pie falling from the sky.

Hearing Gu Shen's question, Fang Darong paused and turned around and said a sentence: "There is no reason, I hope you can always keep your heart."

After leaving this sentence, Fang Darong left without looking back. .

In fact, what Fang Darong didn't say was that when he checked the quality of the project before, he was very impressed with Gu Shen, and paid special attention to the completion of the next project they received.

After finding that they really didn't cut corners like other contractors to deal with the situation, they also learned that when a friend from the Ministry of Construction was going to find a reliable engineering team to repair the road, he mentioned it to his friend, which was considered a chance for Gu Shen and the others.

After Fang Darong left, Gu Shen smoked two more cigarettes downstairs.

Thinking of that big project now, he still can't believe it.

After calming down, his sanity finally came back.

Gu Shen remembered Fang Darong's character, and probably guessed why Fang Darong gave them such a big opportunity.

At the beginning, Gu Shen and Shao Qingsheng said that they could rely on the quality of the project to make people pay attention to them. In fact, it was just some optimistic words, but now that they have really pulled the big project with the good quality of the project, Gu Shen still has some ideas. Trance.

After a while, he smiled silently, and it seemed that he had to rely on his own conscience to do anything.

Gu Shen waited until the smell of smoke on his body dissipated before going upstairs.

Li Yulan and Dabao had already finished their meal, and Dabao happily greeted him when he saw that he had come back.

"Have you lost your conversation? How's it going?" Li Yulan asked while clearing the dishes on the table.

Gu Shen was a little excited at the moment, he walked over and kissed her on the cheek, with a smile that couldn't be concealed in his voice: "Well, it's a good talk, it's a big project!"

Li Yulan didn't prevent him from suddenly leaning in When he came over, he was startled, and pushed him away in embarrassment: "What are you doing? Dabao is still here!" As

soon as she finished speaking, Li Yulan looked in Dabao's direction, and she saw him staring at the two of them with his eyes open. .

Gu Shen was not annoyed by Li Yulan's push away, he went to pick up Dabao and kissed him on the face.

After the kiss, he laughed and said, "Dad is happy today!"

Da Bao pushed Gu Shen's face away with some disgust, and didn't really want to be kissed by him.

Li Yulan smiled helplessly when she heard Gu Shen's laughter.

...

The next day, Gu Shen went to the construction department that Fang Darong said early in the morning to meet Director Li.

It may be that Fang Darong said hello before, and things went well. After negotiating the contract, it was printed out directly through the printer of the Ministry of Construction, without Gu Shen writing word by word.

After putting the signed contract in the black briefcase, Gu Shen finally let go of the heart he had been carrying.

He couldn't care less about the excitement at the moment, he began to think about how to arrange the project, construction materials, construction personnel, how long the construction period was, and the finishing work of the small projects at hand...

Gu Shen started to get busy again, and at this moment, Shao Qingsheng also came back.

He found a few small factories that were neither good nor bad, and only kept the contact information of the other party, ready to contact them for supply when needed.

Shao Qingsheng was holding a large porcelain jar and drinking water, he couldn't help but regretfully said to Gu Shen: "By the way, I also found a sand and gravel factory this time, which is much cheaper than the city, but unfortunately we can't use it. ."

Where do they need to use sand and gravel for the small projects they are taking now?

Unexpectedly, when Gu Shen heard this, he raised his eyes and said, "Who said we can't use it?"

Shao Qingsheng didn't respond a bit: "Ah? Can we use it?"

Gu Shen was speechless, and signed it. Shao Qingsheng handed over the road construction contract to him and said, "Look at this."

Shao Qingsheng took a look at it dubiously. is to confirm if this is true.

"This is the project we ate? How is that possible?!"

After this period of beating, Shao Qingsheng has completely accepted the fact that they can only take on small projects. Shao Qingsheng was stunned, subconsciously feeling that it was impossible.

But the words in black and white were in front of him, and Shao Qingsheng couldn't be suspicious.

After being excited, he glared at Gu Shen: "How dare you tell me about such a big thing now! Are you still a brother!"

Gu Shen was even more speechless, rolled his eyes and said, "You pulled me and said it as soon as you came back. About your going out this time, I can't even interfere if I want to."

Shao Qingsheng: "..." He touched his nose with a guilty conscience, and decisively skipped the topic.

However, Shao Qingsheng came back at the right time. The two immediately started busy with the big project of road construction, including expanding the engineering team, formulating the progress of the project, purchasing raw materials and various utensils and so on...

At the same time, Gu Shen also specially asked Shao Qingsheng to find a factory and customized a batch of fences with the name of their Shenqing Construction Engineering Company on them. To a publicity role!

Gu Shen and Shao Qingsheng were busy with major projects, and Li Yulan was not idle.

The time has come to mid-August, and some kindergartens have gradually begun to recruit students.

Li Yulan took Dabao out to play during the day, just in time to inquire about the kindergarten.

She has dealt with the nearby neighbors several times these days, and also learned that the nursery school run by their factory can accept non-factory children.

Li Yulan first took Dabao to the factory's nursery to have a look.

The nursery in the factory in S City is similar to the nursery in the silk factory before, but it is larger in size and has more amusement facilities.

The people who take care of the children in the nursery are also the family members of the factory workers. Compared with the free schooling for the children of the factory, outsiders have to pay a sum of money to study.

Li Yulan took Dabao and walked around inside, feeling a little dissatisfied.

It's not that I dislike anything, the main reason is that the nursery is full of children from a factory, and Dabao may be rejected as a foreign child.

Furthermore, the main function of the nursery is just to watch the children not encounter any danger, and it is impossible to learn any knowledge.

But now that Li Yulan has been in S City for so long, it can be said that she has opened her eyes and understood the importance of children's education, so she still hopes that Dabao can also learn something when he goes to kindergarten.

With this thought in mind, Li Yulan dragged Dabao to find a kindergarten for several days, but she was not very satisfied.

There are not many kindergartens at the moment, and Li Yulan was a little discouraged when she looked around, thinking that she would just pick the best one from them.

This afternoon was another unsuccessful day.

On the afternoon of August, when it was hot, Li Yulan took Dabao's hand and walked outside a newsstand.

Next to the small newsstand is a big tree that is soaring into the sky. The tree's sturdy branches grow outwards, blocking the scorching sun, casting a large shadow around the newsstand, which is a good place to enjoy the shade.

The newsstand is filled with all kinds of newspapers and magazines, and some snacks and drinks are also sold.

Li Yulan and Dabao were too hot, so they went to buy two bottles of iced soda.

The proprietress of the newsstand is a very kind woman. Seeing that Li Yulan and Dabao are both pregnant and a child, she even moved out two small chairs and said with a smile, "Sit down and rest for a while."

Li Yulan gratefully said to her. After thanking him, Dabao said obediently, "Thank you, Auntie!" The

proprietress smiled and fanned her fan while saying, "It's not easy to bring a child on such a hot day, right?"

Because the weather was hot, there was really no one on the road. .

When Li Yulan heard this, she replied with a smile, "Yeah, I'm busy finding a kindergarten for my child!"

After speaking, she thought of the newsstand proprietress who is in this place where people come and go every day. She must know more than her, so she couldn't help but ask her again: "Madam Boss, do you know any better kindergartens in this city?" The

Boss lady heard Li Yulan's question, and she didn't hide her secrets, so she immediately reported it succinctly. The names of several kindergartens.

Li Yulan was listening and found that she had been to all these kindergartens. She couldn't help being a little disappointed. It seemed that she could only choose one of the kindergartens she had seen.

The proprietress noticed Li Yulan's expression, raised her eyebrows, and asked, "What? Are you not satisfied with the kindergartens I mentioned?"

"It's not that I'm dissatisfied." Li Yulan explained with a smile, "To be honest, I have visited the houses you mentioned in the past few days, but..."

Li Yulan expressed her appeal to the proprietress. Say.

After listening to this, the proprietress raised her eyebrows, looked at Li Yulan, and said with a smile, "I didn't expect you to have an idea."

Li Yulan smiled.

She has an idea, but it seems that it can only be thought.

Just when Li Yulan was about to give up, the proprietress spoke again: "However, I really know that there is a kindergarten that may meet your requirements."
