Chapter 391: Entering the Situation
As expected, what he described was essentially identical to what Wang Sheng had described earlier.
"You, what did you say? It needs to sink further?"
"Yeah, if it really is a garbage dump, and if it's only construction waste, perhaps that's not too big of a deal. But if it includes household and industrial garbage, then that's not safe. Besides, we need to consider what percentage of waste there is. Every step is very important. Why didn't you tell me about this? Stop, stop, stop, everyone stop work right now."
He seemed to be quite anxious.
He had been working here day and night for two days, but if this was confirmed, then all their previous efforts were likely to have been in vain.
"What do you mean? Why stop working?"
"How can we continue? If there's a pile of waste underneath, we must inject cement. If it's not cement, and then the building collapses later on, how can I take responsibility for it?"
"Are you saying, we must have a cement injection?"
"Not just cement, but mixed with other soils as well. Ah, there's no point in me explaining this to you. But it's clear now, you've delayed the progress of the project."
The project manager constantly complained about Zhou Kongshan and the explanation he had given.
Lin Yi was listening clearly on the side, and it seemed that this time Wang Sheng had indeed made a significant contribution.
"So, what do we do now?"
"What else can we do? We have to tear down all these superficial structures we have built, and then start rebuilding from the foundation up. I guess this incident will delay us indefinitely."
"What? Extend the deadline? How long will that take?"
"If we want to compact the foundation step by step, plus the later stages of reconstruction and the current demolition, I estimate, at the very least, ten days, maybe even half a month."
"What, half, half a month?"
Zhou Kongshan's eyes widened in surprise as he heard this.
He had never imagined it would take such a long time.
"Alright, Manager Zhang, I get it, don't say any more. I'm asking you, can we ensure quality if we do it this way?"
"Absolutely no problem. If you had told me earlier, I would have focused all of these two days on compacting the foundation instead of arranging so many people to do these surface jobs. Ah, what a waste of time."
"I'm really sorry, we don't understand construction, and we didn't know about these issues. So, here's what we'll do: carry on however you need to, and don't worry. All the wasted materials from the early stages are on me, and in the Later Stages, we will properly compensate you."
"Alright then, since that's the case, let's hurry up and organize the other projects."
After finishing, he turned and walked over to gather all the workers together, probably to discuss their next construction plans.
This time, it was somewhat unexpected for Zhou Kongshan.
He had always felt that everything was under his control, but he had never expected to overlook such a major issue in this aspect.
Over the years, he had never appeared to fail like this in front of Lin Yi. This time, he indeed felt he had lost face.
Moreover, there were two new members who had just joined. If this is the case, how will he carry on with his work in the future?
"Lin Yi, I really didn't know about this, and as for construction..."
"Enough, I know what happened. Come on, don't you have a conference room here? Let's go have a meeting."
"Okay, I got it."
Zhou Kongshan knew they must discuss this matter properly at the table, although he wasn't sure what decision Lin Yi would ultimately make.
As everyone started to move, Lin Yi suddenly stopped and turned to look back.
He saw Wang Sheng still standing there dumbfounded.
"What are you doing? Come on, didn't I say we are going to have a meeting?"
Upon hearing this, Wang Sheng seemed indeed excited.
He had never imagined that he would be called to join their meeting.
"You mean, you want me to join?"
"What? Aren't you from the toy factory? I'm having a meeting with the people from the toy factory. Don't you need to participate?"
"Sure, sure, I'll join, I'll join."
Wang Sheng hurriedly nodded and then quickly followed along.
Over here, they found a spacious conference room, and then everyone sat down one after another.
"Just now, I already took a general look at some of the toy factory's renovation issues. Currently, everything seems to be going fairly well. This deserves a big thumbs up, and I know, all credit goes to your efforts, Wang Sheng."
"Oh, no, no, I didn't do anything, I was just carrying out the factory manager's orders."
"Another thing is the issue of rebuilding the house."
"I'll stand up and admit my mistake first. This time, it really was my oversight, and if it weren't for your timely pointing it out, Wang Sheng, the mistake would have continued, and by the end, it would have gotten even bigger."
"No need, Old Zhou, you don't have to feel so guilty. After all, you're not in the construction business. We just thought things were simpler before. By the way, Wang Sheng, were you familiar with construction projects before?"
"I'm okay with it because I used to hang out a lot with the guys on the construction sites, so I know a little. But I'm not very familiar with the details, though I do understand some design aspects, including how to run wiring."
"Great, Old Zhou, why don't you hand over the project matters to him then? You'll need to assign someone else to follow up on the factory building."
"No problem on my part."
"What, you, you want me to supervise that project?"
"Since you understand it so well, then you're certainly the most suitable candidate. It seems aside from you, no one else is more fit for the role. How about it, do you have the confidence to complete it?" Explore stories at My Virtual Library Empire
"Sure, no problem, Brother Lin. I'll take care of whatever you entrust to me, don't worry. Starting today, I will watch over this project 24/7, even without eating or drinking, to ensure it's completed with quality and on schedule."
