Chapter 914: The Re-inspection Team Departs
On March 10, a six-person re-inspection team set off for Southwest China. Two of them were staff members of the Sany Foundation, and the other four were structural experts from Tongda Institute of Architecture.
Over the past ten years, the Sany Foundation has donated and built more than 200 schools. It was impossible to re-inspect all of these schools within the one-month re-inspection plan. Therefore, before setting off, they received a re-inspection list for this trip, which included the school buildings of 20 schools. With a tight schedule and heavy workload, the group took a plane after receiving the re-inspection list.
"Director Ji, who drafted this catalog?" On the plane, Professor Sun Jianqiu from the School of Architecture at Tongda University asked Ji Chonghao, the director of the Sany Foundation who was leading the team, curiously pointing to the catalog in his hand.
To be honest, Ji Chonghao didn't know where this catalog came from. Anyway, it was given to him from above, so he just had to carry it out.
But he still asked, "What's wrong? Professor Sun, what are your thoughts?"
Sun Jianqiu waved his hand: "I don't have any particular thoughts, I just think this catalog is a bit strange."
"Strange?" Ji Chonghao immediately became interested. He had originally wanted to take a nap, but now he was wide awake.
Sun Jianqiu pointed out what he felt was unreasonable: "Look! Two schools are in Guangxi, two are in Guizhou, and the remaining sixteen schools are all in Sichuan."
Ji Chonghao also picked up his catalog and looked at it again, and then took out the map to compare it. As a result, he found some reasons.
"Professor Sun, look, the schools we donated to build in Guangxi and Guizhou are quite scattered and not adjacent to each other. If we distribute them equally, it would take more than a month to build them in just these two provinces. But in southwestern Sichuan, we have schools we donated to build in almost every county. These sixteen schools are right on the two lines, and a month is enough for us to re-inspect these schools."
Sun Jianqiu looked at the map and it seemed to make sense; the only explanation appeared to be a matter of time.
At this moment, Qian Xing, another structural expert sitting across the aisle, had just woken up after a short nap. Seeing Ji Chonghao and Sun Jianqiu pointing at a map, he asked, "What are you two looking at?"
Sun Jianqiu turned his head and saw that it was Qian Xing speaking, so he said to him, "Engineer Qian, you're awake! I was just discussing the list of schools to be inspected with Director Ji."
"Hey!" Upon hearing that it was for this matter, Qian Xing felt bored. The Sanyi Foundation had hired them at great expense to conduct a re-inspection and retest of the donated school buildings. They would just have to do whatever the foundation arranged.
Just then, the flight attendant came by with a beverage cart, and Qian Xing proactively asked, "Could I have a coffee, please?"
The flight attendant smiled and replied, "Okay, sir, please wait a moment!"
Because Qian Xing was sitting near the aisle, he took the initiative to ask the other two people sitting in the same row as him, "Xiao Zhai, Xiao Zhu, what would you two like to drink?"
"I'd like a Coke, please!" Xiao Zhai, who wanted a Coke, was a young man in his early twenties.
"I'd like orange juice, please!" It was Xiao Zhu who asked for the orange juice. She and Xiao Zhai were both doctoral students supervised by Sun Jianqiu. On this business trip, they were the ones doing the actual work.
The flight attendant had heard their request and handed the cola and orange juice to Qian Xing, asking him to pass them on to the two people sitting inside.
At this moment, a girl sitting next to Ji Chonghao by the window stretched, looked out the window, and then checked the time on her phone.
He complained, "Only an hour? Sigh! Time is passing too slowly."
"Fu Ying, what would you like to drink?" Ji Chonghao asked the little girl sitting next to him when he saw that she was awake.
This little girl's background may not be simple. You know, the Sany Foundation is not a place that just anyone can get into. Outsiders may not know, but the staff inside the Sany Foundation know very well that their job is the kind that is hard to find even with a lantern, and the salary and benefits are extremely generous.
Fu Ying joined the company last summer. She is a college graduate from Shanghai University of Finance and Economics. Ji Chonghao felt that Fu Ying must have a background, otherwise she would not have been recruited so easily. Moreover, he had been with the Sany Foundation for many years and had almost never seen the Sany Foundation publicly recruit. There were a total of nine people including him, but now there are ten, because of Fu Ying.
Fu Ying lightly yawned, covering her mouth with her hand, and said lazily, "Orange juice, please!"
Ji Chonghao got her a glass of orange juice and handed it to her.
"Thank you, Director Ji!" Fu Ying smiled as she accepted the gift and expressed her gratitude.
Ji Chonghao asked with a smile, "Fu Ying, is this your first business trip since joining the foundation?"
Actually, Ji Chonghao was trying to get information out of the little girl because this business trip was different from previous ones. The people traveling with him were not chosen by Ji Chonghao himself; the list, including himself, was decided directly by his superiors. However, Ji Chonghao still didn't know who founded the foundation, and he felt that Fu Ying might know.
Fu Ying replied with a grin, "Yes!"
"So you must have volunteered for the business trip, right?"
"Haha, well, guess?" Fu Ying still had a cheerful and carefree attitude.
Well! This is a clever little fox. You can't get a single useful word out of her. Ji Chonghao shook his head inwardly, but this also basically confirms that this little girl has a background.
Seeing that he couldn't get any useful information out of him in the short term, Ji Chonghao gave up for the time being. Anyway, he would be away on business for a month, so there would be plenty of opportunities to find out more.
Two hours later, the plane landed.
"Fu Ying, let me help you!" After Fu Ying's suitcase was teleported over, Zhai Yong offered to help her with it.
"No need, thank you!" Fu Ying declined Zhai Yong's help and took her luggage off the conveyor belt herself. To be honest, the suitcase she brought was quite large.
After Fu Ying pushed her suitcase to the side, Zhu Yunzhu, who was in the same class as Zhai Yong, teased her junior brother, "You've got a cold shoulder now, haven't you!"
Zhai Yong glared at his senior sister with dissatisfaction. His senior sister's name sounded very elegant, and anyone who hadn't met her in person would think she was a woman with a refined and cultured air. In reality, she was a typical tomboy. She was even taller than Zhai Yong, and more importantly, she was all muscle. What a waste of such a nice-sounding name.
At this moment, Zhai Yong saw his teacher Sun Jianqiu, his own suitcase, and the instrument case he was carrying for this test being transported over. He didn't have time to talk to Zhu Yunzhu and reached out to grab the suitcase and the case containing the testing instruments.
After getting his and Sun Jianqiu's luggage, he went to get close to Fu Ying, leaving his senior sister Zhu Yunzhu alone to wait for the luggage. Zhu Yunzhu rolled her eyes at Zhai Yong's back several times in anger.
