The wedding banquet was so boring that Xu Zixi and Yan Yincheng left early before it ended.
Back at the villa in the south of the city, perhaps influenced by the wedding banquet, a certain man seemed to be full of patience today. He tired Xu Zixi out to the point that she completely lost the ability to think. After it was over, she curled up and fell into a deep sleep.
After making sure that Xu Zixi was in a deep sleep, Yan Yincheng sat up, put on his coat and went out. He called Wei Shu and several bodyguards, and huddled by the pool to whisper for a whole night.
When the sun was about to rise, he returned to the room and lay back on the bed. As soon as he lay down, a certain sleeping woman involuntarily leaned towards him and curled up completely in his arms, showing a gesture of complete trust in him.
He also hugged his woman and closed his eyes, falling into a sweet sleep.
The next day, after the progress meeting of the "City of Hope" project ended, Pei Mingyuan called Yan Yincheng to stop after everyone had left.
"Mr. Yan, I'd like to discuss something with you."
Yan Yincheng was still sitting on the chair. Hearing this, he tapped on the table and said, "Go ahead."
Pei Mingyuan said, "It's like this. More than two months ago, under my arrangement, my brother - in - law Duan Jia worked on the project for a while. He was an assistant under Engineer Wu. That work experience was very valuable to him, and he really liked this job. He wants to come back to the project and continue to be Engineer Wu's assistant. What do you think?"
"I've observed specially. Duan Jia is hard - working and very serious in his work. He always rushes to do any dirty or tiring jobs. He's definitely not here for a cushy job. He will surely work hard."
To be honest, Pei Mingyuan felt a bit embarrassed to make this request. But now that Duan Jia is already the son - in - law of the Pei family, his job can't be arranged casually like before. Otherwise, outsiders will say that the Pei family treats their son - in - law badly.
He also suggested to Duan Jia that he could arrange a middle - level management position for him within the Pei Group or in the business field. However, Duan Jia refused. He said that it was good to soak up the sun on the construction site and learn how to carry out a project from Engineer Wu. Moreover, he also planned to improve his education level and obtain an engineer's certificate to become a real engineer.
It's a good thing that his brother - in - law is motivated. As an elder brother, Pei Mingyuan naturally wanted to help as much as he could.
However, if Mr. Yan didn't agree, it didn't matter. He would explain it to Duan Jia and arrange another job for him.
Just as he was nervously waiting for a response, Pei Mingyuan heard Yan Yincheng say, "Okay."
"Really? Thank you, Mr. Yan." Pei Mingyuan smiled.
"However, I also hope you understand that since you recommended Duan Jia, if he does anything unfavorable to the project, you will be responsible for it." Yan Yincheng said calmly.
Pei Mingyuan promised seriously, "I guarantee that I will keep a close eye on him. I will never cause you any trouble, Mr. Yan."
Just like that, Duan Jia returned to the project and resumed his position as Engineer Wu's assistant. Engineer Wu still had a good impression of this son - in - law of the Pei family who had no airs. Seeing him come back, he patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile,
"You kid, I didn't expect to see you here again! I heard that you've already married Miss Pei? Now you're the son - in - law of the Pei family. Shouldn't you invite us to a wedding banquet?"
Duan Jia said with a smile, "Of course. I'll treat everyone after work."
When Xu Zixi saw Duan Jia's figure in the project again and learned that it was Yan Yincheng who allowed him to work on the project, she raised her eyebrows in surprise.
On the way home, Xu Zixi asked Yan Yincheng about this.
"Brother Cheng, I didn't expect you to agree to let Duan Jia come back to work on the project. I thought you would refuse."
It wasn't that she was being overly suspicious, but Duan Jia always gave her a strange feeling. And this uncomfortable feeling started from his wedding with Pei Weiwei.
Getting married is such an important thing, and he was marrying the daughter of the Pei family!
You know, in the past, even though Pei Weiwei was a bit spoiled, the title of the Pei family's son - in - law would never have fallen to a man with no background and no savings like him.
He even had to rely on Pei Weiwei to buy his clothes and get his job, yet he dared to be distracted at his own wedding with Pei Weiwei!
If it weren't for her bad relationship with Pei Weiwei, she really wanted to grab Pei Weiwei's ear and ask her what was going on in her head to choose such a man.
Knowing what she was worried about, Yan Yincheng said, "I remember you said that no matter what his purpose is for entering this project, instead of waiting for him to act secretly, it's better to keep him in sight so that we can monitor his every move."
She did say those words, but at that time, Duan Jia didn't give her such an uncomfortable feeling, so she just let it go.
But now...
Forget it. If Duan Jia really has problems, keeping him in sight will indeed make it easier to catch him. Let's just wait and see.
In the following days, besides following up on the construction progress of the project daily, Xu Zixi also spared a little attention to observe Duan Jia.
Duan Jia was amiable and generous, so he got along very well with the people in the engineering department in private. When working, he was also very hard - working and responsible. He never shirked his responsibilities and would try his best to complete any task assigned to him. He really didn't seem like someone who came to the project to cause trouble.
Before they knew it, the "City of Hope" project had been in smooth operation for almost three months, and the main building had reached the sixth floor. If you looked down from the air, you could see that the main building of the "City of Hope" looked like a big cloud.
That's right, the main venue of the "City of Hope" - the "Castle of Hope" - was a beautiful blooming cloud.
There were twelve floors inside this cloud, corresponding to the twelve constellations of the zodiac, and also the twelve adventure areas in the tower - climbing game concept proposed by Xu Zixi.
The middle of the cloud was completely hollowed out. Six completely transparent sightseeing elevators would be built there later, allowing tourists to enjoy a 360 - degree view of the interior of the "Castle of Hope".
In addition, venues such as the Polar Bear Paradise, the Coral Jungle, and the Land of Growth were also gradually taking shape.
With the strong financial support of the Yan Group, everything about the project was progressing smoothly and rapidly. Before they knew it, Haicheng had entered the most troublesome rainy and stormy seasons.
Every year in Haicheng, the rainy and typhoon seasons start in April, which was the most headache - inducing thing for Xu Zixi. The continuous rainy season would slow down the project progress. She had even made a bet with Yan Yincheng to complete the entire main - body construction within half a year.
However, it was gratifying that from April to May, due to problems with sunlight and ocean currents, it was exactly the mating and spawning period of the "Golden Amber", which was of great significance for the continuation of the "Golden Amber" species and biological research.
Therefore, the "City of Hope" project received a scientific research team that came to investigate and study the "Golden Amber".
