Chapter 297: How Heaven Defying

Lu Jiao was embarrassed by all the compliments and kindly deflected a little. She then asked Zhao Lingfeng to send someone and get her a ride to the construction sites of the new businesses.
Zhao Lingfeng agreed. He had combined his own thoughts with the blueprints
Lu Jiao created and ordered construction to start based on that,
He was so happy that Lu Jiao was willing to visit that place already.
Zhao Lingfeng expressed his desire to go with them. Qi Lei said he wanted to go as well.
The group headed to the suburbs of the Qinghe District.
Construction was happening outside the southern wall and was around 20 to 30 kilometers south of where they were.
The construction site was mostly empty and several people were guarding the space and banning outsiders from entering. However, when Zhao Lingfeng and Lu Jiao showed up, the guard rushed out and welcomed them warmly.
“Owner Zhao, you’re here.”
Zhao Lingfeng nodded and asked, “Where are the managers? Go fetch them.”
“Yes, sir, right away.”
The man talking was one of the lower-level workers. Right now, he was responsible for guarding the space and ensuring no outsiders got in. Since construction was underway, if someone went in and got hurt, the business would be responsible. So Zhao Lingfeng stressed heavily that nobody was allowed to enter until at least the foundations were done. Once the foundations were done, they would move on to building the walls, then finally, the three buildings.
Zhao Lingfeng took Lu Jiao and the others inside. There, many people were bashing out the foundation using heavy rounded stone rollers. A group of men worked together by shouting and pulling a stone roller forward.
At first glance, there truly were loads of stone rollers at the site. Lu Jiao checked out the foundation and thought that her method of using rocks was better.
Xie Yunjin noticed how deep in thought Lu Jiao was and asked, “What is it? You have an idea?”
Lu Jiao pointed to the people who were pulling on the stone rollers, “Foundation made from the stone rollers should be fine for the walls. But it might be dangerous if we plan on building our workshops on top.”
The workshops she had in the plan would be a lot taller than normal houses, which meant the foundation would need to bear more weight than usual. This foundation constructed out of stone rollers might not be able to handle that much weight.
Zhao Lingfeng thought about what Lu Jiao had said and decided that she was
How would he ensure the foundation could handle the weight then? Zhao Lingfeng didn’t have a good idea. He suggested, “I can ask them to go over the foundation with the stone rollers a few more times.”
Lu Jiao shook her head. Then started to gesture with her hands, “Tell them to find a rock that’s about this big. Then ask a mason to create a few holes in the rock. Then, put a rope through the holes. A group of around ten people could swing the rock up using the rope and then thrust it down heavily to create the foundation. Foundation made that way should be able to handle a lot more weight.
The Xie familys new home back in the village was built on foundations created that way. Given the time restraint last time, Lu Jiao had to use her electric drill to create the holes. She wasn’t about to take the risk of pulling that trick again. It was better to ask a mason to make those holes, though it would take more time.
Zhao Lingfeng thought it over. Even in his imagination, he could tell that throwing a heavy rock would harden the earth more than pulling a rolling stone over it.
“Okay, I’m going to tell Cheng Xiang to handle this.”
He then added, “Cheng Xiang is someone I hired to be the general manager of the three workshops.”
Lu Jiao nodded. Then, several people approached them in a hurry.
The leader of the group was rather young, perhaps around 27 or 28. He wore a blue shirt, which made him look more like a student than a manager.
He paid his respect to Zhao Lingfeng, “Owner, you’re here.”
Zhao Lingfeng nodded and pointed to Lu Jiao, “This is Lady Lu, all of the secret formulas for the workshops come from her. She’s the glue that holds our operation together. You better treat her kindly going forward.”
Cheng Xiang had already heard the whole story from Zhao Lingfeng. He knew that the whole reason why these workshops were going to exist was because of this woman. Consequently, it created this manager job for him.
Cheng Xiang didn’t expect to meet this legendary character so quickly though.
He bowed to Lu Jiao, “Lady Lu.”
Lady Lu might not be a good-looking person but she sure was capable.
Just then, Lu An, who was standing behind him, yelled out in shock, “Sister, why did you deface yourself?!”
Lu Jiao laughed, “It’s more convenient this way.”
Cheng Xiang realized right away then that this face wasn’t Lady Lu l s real face. Based on what Lu An was saying, Lady Lu was beautiful and was also very capable. How heaven-defying.
Zhao Lingfeng asked Cheng Xiang to give them a tour of the place and talk about the general plan for the workshops. Though blueprints were provided, reality often differed from ideal. Now that they were on the construction site themselves, perhaps better ideas could form.
Cheng Xiang led the group and toured the place. As they walked, he talked to them about the plans for the workshops.
Lu Jiao walked behind the group and talked to Lu An to ask him if he’s been adjusting okay.
Lu An expressed that the work has been difficult but he will work hard to learn everything and improve himself. Since the general manager, Cheng Xiang was very kind and provided guidance whenever asked, Lu An felt he was given a great opportunity.
Lu Jiao nodded in satisfaction. If Lu An could handle this job and improve himself, he would eventually stand out and succeed.
Lu An then asked Xie Yunjin caringly, “Brother-in-law, how are your legs? Are you fully healed?”
Xie Yunjin explained that as long as he doesn’t over-exercise, his legs felt fine.
He smiled gently and added, “I’m pretty much back to normal now. Thank you, brother-in-law, for your concern.”
Lu An glanced at Xie Yunjin. This man used to be so cold but today, he seemed very friendly. Lu An was shocked by Xie Yunjin’s niceness today and kept on waving around his hands, “It’s no problem. No problem.”
At the front, Zhao Lingfeng looked back at the group who were chatting and asked, “Lady Lu, do you see any issues?
Though Lu Jiao’s been talking to Lu An on the side, she’s been listening to
Cheng Xiangs tour, “Everything looks good.”
Lu Jiao’s blueprint for the workshops was drawn based on modern styles and traditions. She incorporated a dining hall, public washrooms, and staff restrooms. She thought of everything.
Once they start hiring, she will also ensure the hard-working ones are rewarded with more compensation.
Zhao Lingfeng also felt like things were going well. When he first saw the blueprints from Lu Jiao, he was surprised in a good way.
Zhao Lingfeng said to Xie Yunjin, “Scholar Xie, Lady Lu has a very impressive brain. The blueprints for these buildings were all drawn by her. I only made simple adjustments.”
Xie Yunjin was not happy with the way Zhao Lingfeng complimented Lu Jiao. His tone made it seem like Lu Jiao was his to show off. Lu Jiao was Xie Yunjin’s wife and not someone for Zhao Lingfeng to proudly own.
Of course, Xie Yunjin didn’t display those negative emotions and simply responded, “My wife has always been intelligent. I’m not at all surprised that she was able to design everything so flawlessly..”
