The interview with Song Qingyuan went very smoothly. Song Qingyuan not only had a rich work experience, but also behaved very humbly. Pei Shaojie was very satisfied with him.

Song Qingyuan successfully passed the interview and became an employee of Xuehua Company. At his strong request, he joined the National Games Stadium Project Department.

What Pei Shaojie didn't know was that this engineer, whom he thought was an excellent engineer, was actually an undercover sent by his competitor.

And he was still in the dark.

After Song Qingyuan passed the interview, he immediately informed Mr. Li of the good news.

Mr. Li was very happy. In the evening, he treated Song Qingyuan to a big dinner and took him to a very famous club in Quancheng City to relax.

Song Qingyuan was flattered by Mr. Li's hospitality.

When he was still working at Licheng Group, President Li was in a high position, but he had never invited him to a private dinner and entertainment like he did now.

Mr. Li picked up the wine glass in front of him, shook it gently, and said with a little sadness:

"Xiao Song, you have a heavy task this time. You know the chairman's temper. He gave me a strict order to complete the project two months ahead of schedule. You can't imagine how much pressure I'm under..."

Song Qingyuan was puzzled. "The project itself is under tight schedule. Why is the chairman pushing you like this? He knows it's very difficult."

Mr. Li shook his head helplessly. "He made a ridiculous boast to the mayor. He saved face, but then passed the buck to me... He's really pushing me to death..."

"Mr. Li, why don't you explain it to him?"

Mr. Li sighed, "Don't mention it. I told you it's impossible to finish it two months early. He's usually very domineering. How could he listen to me? If I can't finish it..."

Mr. Li gave a wry smile and said, "The final result is that I pack up and leave."

Song Qingyuan looked at Mr. Li in surprise, "It's not that serious, is it? The chairman might just be saying that casually."

Mr. Li drank the wine in his glass in one gulp and spoke in a serious tone:

"If you haven't dealt with him, you don't understand his style of doing things. He can do what he says. I've worked for several companies, and the chairman is the most unscrupulous person I've ever met."

Song Qingyuan actually agreed with Mr. Li's point of view. When he was working at Licheng Company a few years ago, he heard that Cheng Fugui poached the other team to his company with high salaries in order to fight against competitors.

According to his understanding, Mr. Li should have been poached by Cheng Fugui in this way.

Song Qingyuan sympathized with Mr. Li's situation and said, "Mr. Li, I've tried my best to help you."

Mr. Li took out a card from his bag and said, "Xiao Song, I'm the only one who can help me with this. This is a small token of my appreciation. 20,000 yuan. Please accept it first. After the matter is completed, I will not treat you unfairly."

Song Qingyuan naturally understood Mr. Li's intention. He said a few polite words, but Mr. Li forced the card into his hand.

"Xiao Song, the project director of Xuehua Company is called Wang Ke. He's said to be very smart, but a bit overbearing. You should be careful. And there's also someone called Pei Shaojie..."

Song Qingyuan immediately said, "Mr. Li, I know Pei Shaojie. He was the one who interviewed me personally. He seems to be a nice guy, and he had a good impression of me."

President Li nodded. "I've already made inquiries. Wang Ke has now handed this project over to Pei Shaojie. He and the company's chairman, Sun Xue, are working on other projects. You need to build a good relationship with Pei Shaojie and gain his trust."

Song Qingyuan nodded. "I understand, but... I've met Engineer Zhang from his company before. Back then, I was still working at Liyuan Group, and we attended a meeting together. He won't be suspicious, right?"

"Don't worry too much about that. From what I understand, the reason his company is looking for engineers is because Wang Ke has transferred Engineer Zhang and several other technicians to other projects. You probably won't have many opportunities to meet."

Song Qingyuan nodded with relief, "That's good, that's good."

Gaozhou City.

At the construction site, Sun Xue, Boss Pan, Wang Ke, and several engineers began to discuss the start of the project.

The project has been shelved for so long, and there are many things to prepare before it can be restarted.

You have to go through various procedures, negotiate cooperation with suppliers, and find good subcontractors.

The good thing is that Boss Pan has a lot of resources in the local area, which provides many convenient factors for the restart of the project.

But even so, Sun Xue and Wang Ke were extremely busy with a lot of things to deal with.

Wang Ke was full of confidence, but Sun Xue was a little worried and did not dare to be careless at all.

She had invested real money in the project, and she didn't want any accidents to happen midway and the invested funds to go down the drain.

After the first day of work, Sun Xue invited all the project leaders to have dinner together.

At the dinner table, Sun Xue raised the drink in front of her, feeling a little excited:

"Thank you for your hard work. I salute everyone here!"

Wang Ke raised his glass and joked, "It doesn't matter if it's a little hard. Mr. Sun said that after the project is completed, everyone will receive a big red envelope at the end of the year."

Sun Xue smiled and nodded, "Of course, this project is the first one our company has acquired, so we must do it well. There will be a second and a third one later.

It will be a bit tough in the early stages, but once the project is on track, the burden on each of us will be lightened. Mr. Wang and I have also discussed that after the project is completed, the company will hold a team-building event and travel to southern cities. You can bring your families along, and all expenses will be reimbursed by the company.

Everyone was very excited when they heard it.

In the current economic downturn, not only can we get big red envelopes, but we can also have the opportunity to travel, so everyone is naturally happy.

"During this period, Mr. Wang and I will also take time out to devote some of our energy to this project."

Zhang Shuo was the first to pick up his glass, stood up, and said with a smile, "Mr. Sun, don't worry. We're all working hard to bring our family on a trip to the south. I've already said it in advance. My family consists of six people: my parents, two children, my wife, and me..."

Wang Ke laughed and joked, "You've clearly exceeded the limit. Mr. Sun is under a lot of pressure now."

Sun Xue answered generously, "It's not a problem. Besides relatives and friends, anyone in the family can take it with them."

Spring City.

Project site.

Today is Song Qingyuan's first day at work.

Pei Shaojie personally brought Song Qingyuan to the project site and carefully deployed the next work content he would be responsible for.

What made Pei Shaojie feel gratified was that Song Qingyuan was very dedicated and took notes seriously with a notebook.

In his opinion, Song Qingyuan's attitude was even more serious than those college students who had just graduated. He couldn't help but have a better impression of this new engineer.

"Mr. Song, it's so hot today, won't you feel stuffy wearing a mask?" Pei Shaojie asked curiously before leaving.

Song Qingyuan took off his helmet, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said with a smile:

"I'm used to it. I have rhinitis and am sensitive to dust, so wearing a mask makes me feel more comfortable."

Pei Shaojie nodded and said with concern:

"Oh, I know a doctor who's an authority on this. I'll recommend him to you when I have time. Wearing a mask all the time on a hot day isn't the right thing to do."

Song Qingyuan was a little nervous and quickly explained, "Thank you, Mr. Pei. It's okay. This is an old problem. I've been to various hospitals but the results haven't been very good."

"By the way, Engineer Song, you should communicate more with the other technicians on the project about work. You came late, so they are more familiar with the project."

Song Qingyuan nodded vigorously. "Okay, I'll ask them for advice on any technical issues. This is my first time participating in such a high-level project, and I will put in a hundred times more effort to do a good job."
