The booming shout of Third Master Yan woke up the sleeping Wei Shu. He wiped the drool from the corner of his mouth in a hurry and asked groggily, "Third Master, have you made any new discoveries?"
Yan Yincheng said, "Wei Shu! Xuanxuan is so smart! He's truly my own son!"
Wei Shu: "..." So this is what you've discovered? It's no secret that Young Master Xuanxuan and Young Master Xuxu are highly intelligent! Third Master, please wake up!
"Do you know why he asked me to watch this lousy TV show? In the finale of the show, the hero and the heroine got back together successfully in a hot - spring resort!" Yan Yincheng was extremely excited. "Go and check right away if there's a suitable hot - spring resort in Haicheng. I'm going to arrange a hot - spring trip for Zixi!"
Wei Shu's drowsiness vanished immediately. "Yes, Third Master. I'll check right away!"
A short while later, Wei Shu approached Yan Yincheng with his laptop in hand. "Third Master, I've found them! There are five hot - spring resorts in Haicheng in total. They are 'Yushuiwan Hot - Spring Resort', 'Jiulong Hot - Spring Villa', 'Yunhe Mountain Hot - Spring Valley'..."
"Choose the best one," Yan Yincheng said. Since he was going to take Zixi and the two kids there, he naturally had to choose the best one to increase the chance of them getting back together!
"Sure, Third Master! I think 'Yunhe Mountain Hot - Spring Valley' has a great environment and excellent service, and the reviews are all good. How about choosing this one? I'll contact them to book tickets right away."
"Wait a minute!" Yan Yincheng suddenly stopped him.
"What's the matter, Third Master? Do you want to choose another hot - spring resort?" Wei Shu asked.
"Don't rush to book tickets. Zixi threw all the clothes I gave her into the trash can yesterday. I'm afraid she won't accept the hot - spring tickets either. We have to come up with another way to make her go to the hot - spring resort with the two kids willingly so that I can carry out my plan."
What should he do?
Yan Yincheng gently rubbed the blind stick in his palm to calm himself down and thought about countermeasures.
Suddenly, he remembered that the second test of the physical model was tomorrow. He tightened his fist abruptly and showed a confident smile.
He had an idea.
The next day, the second test of the physical model arrived as scheduled. After directing the staff to move the model into the hall of the project technical center, Xu Zixi led her team into it. There were already quite a few people in the room. All the members of the engineering department had arrived. Dong Long nodded at her with a smile and said,
"Manager Yuan, I'm looking forward to your design department giving a perfect answer in this test."
Xu Zixi smiled and said, "Thank you, Engineer Dong."
When the clock pointed to 9 o'clock, Yan Yincheng stepped into the hall on time. The bright and almost blinding light shone on him, and Xu Zixi's eyes involuntarily glanced at his face.
He looked a bit tired, with dark circles under his eyes. Obviously, he hadn't had much rest.
Xu Zixi felt a twinge of guilt again. It seemed that her act of asking Aunt Zhang to throw away the shopping bags had really hurt him, and quite badly.
Clearing her throat, she said, "Since Mr. Yan is here, let's start the test now." She didn't notice that her tone had softened, which made Yan Yincheng on the opposite side stunned for a moment and overjoyed inside.
Why was Zixi's attitude towards him different from before today? Did this mean that the hot - spring trip had a chance?
Yan Yincheng turned to the direction where she was and nodded slightly. "Okay."
This time, Yan Yincheng still carefully felt the model from head to toe with his hands first. After confirming that there was no problem, he asked the technical department to start the test. Inside the huge transparent glass container, the model was once again subjected to the "natural disasters", and the detailed data was synchronously transmitted to the screen in the observation hall.
Xu Zixi calmly folded her arms. Her eyes shifted from the model being tested on the screen to the constantly changing data, and then to the man sitting in his seat.
In addition to continuously improving this physical model in the past few days, she had been thinking about Fang Ruiyang's matter.
Zhao Quanjing's takeover of 'Renkang Hospital' was no accident. Just as the Pei family intended to expand its tourism business after acquiring this area, the Zhao family might also be unwilling to see the Pei family monopolize the medical resources in Haicheng and wanted a share of the pie. The losses shown in the financial report included the hospital's part. Although there was no definite evidence, she had an intuition that this matter must be related to the Zhao family.
Fang Ruiyang's mother would surely end up badly in the hands of such inhumane scumbags. So in her and Fang Ruiyang's plan, they intended to use the trick of "faking death" to transfer Fang Ruiyang's mother out of Renkang Hospital. But she couldn't figure out which hospital to place her in. Haicheng was neither too big nor too small, and Zhao Quanjing had been entrenched here for many years. He must have his own informants and sources of information. No matter which hospital they chose, there was a risk of exposure.
After much thought, the only option was a hospital outside Haicheng. But in other cities, she didn't have her own influence or trustworthy people for the time being, which was also a very headache - inducing problem. Among the people around her, she could only think of one person who had the connections and the ability.
— Yan Yincheng.
He said that he had been traveling around different cities and countries since childhood to seek medical treatment for his eyes, so he must know many doctors. He knew best which hospitals had good medical conditions and were trustworthy.
But if she asked him for help, he would surely take this opportunity to make an equivalent exchange with her. And the distance she had been trying to maintain would surely disappear. This was also the reason for her hesitation and concerns.
How could she make him agree to help while still keeping herself out of trouble?
She frowned and thought deeply.
After six hours of torture, the final data of the model finally came out. The result given by the technical department was that after six hours, the damage degree of the model was 54%. In fact, according to Yan Yincheng's standard, this data was still a failure. He hoped to control the data below 50%.
However, no matter how much the model was modified, it was impossible to reach perfection. The six - hour test involved the combined destruction of an earthquake, a tsunami, and a storm. But in reality, such extreme weather almost never occurred. Therefore, starting the construction according to this standard was already the top - level configuration in the whole of Haicheng or even the whole of Country C.
During his contemplation, everyone in the observation hall held their breath and nervously waited for his "verdict". Zhou Yaru even nervously picked at her fingers, and her heart was almost about to jump out of her chest.
Under everyone's anticipation, Yan Yincheng finally said, "Start the construction according to the current plan."
As soon as he finished speaking, thunderous cheers erupted in the hall. They had really been waiting for this moment for too long! As long as a project hadn't started for a single day, everyone's hearts were in suspense, fearing that the project would suddenly fall through! Now they could finally show their talents!
Yan Yincheng stood up, turned around, and faced Xu Zixi, who was hugging the other members of the design team. He said, "Complete the main construction of the project within half a year. I hope you won't disappoint me."
He said "you" instead of "you alone".
Looking at his exhausted face, a warm current flowed through Xu Zixi's heart.
She had clearly done something hurtful and made him unable to sleep at night, but he still showed her enough respect in front of everyone. His six - month deadline was set for all departments and all people involved in the project. If she successfully assisted the engineering department in completing the main construction within half a year, in the eyes of everyone, this would be an outstanding achievement of hers.
However, only she knew that this was also related to her household registration and the bet between them.
So, she replied sincerely, "I will surely go all out!"
Taking this opportunity, Yan Yincheng made a gesture to Wei Shu beside him. Wei Shu received the hint and stepped forward to say,
"Everyone has worked hard recently. The successful test of the model couldn't have been achieved without everyone's efforts. To reward everyone, Third Master has decided to give everyone a small benefit. This weekend, we will organize all the project staff to go to a hot - spring resort. The activity will last for two days. Accommodation and meals will be fully covered, and you can arrange your own transportation. You can bring your family members. Those who are interested can come to me to sign up. I will count the number of people and make arrangements with the hot - spring resort to ensure a perfect weekend for everyone."
