In ‘jīngchéngjiànzhú’*’s large conference room, Huang Dexing was sitting in the first head seat. Anran and Xiao Xiao were sitting on his right and left  respectively. The other people were sitting next to Anran and Xiao Xiao. 　*) jīngchéngjiànzhú : the name of the company where Anran works

Huang Dexing placed his cup of tea on the table and said “Today we convened this special meeting mainly to discuss two  things.”

Anran swayed her pen back and forth on paper. She did not know the purpose Huang Dexing would open the meeting today. However, she guessed that it should be related to the the accident on the site last time. She did not know the outcome, but looking at Hou Zhengwen, who was sitting opposite her, his excited face shows like the accident has nothing to do with him.

” The result of the investigation for the cause of the accident at the ‘Avon Park’ mall construction site is very clear.” said Huang Dexing. When he said it, his eyes glanced at Anran, then Hou Zhengwen, and lastly to his left, Xiao Xiao .

“My construction is according to the designer’s, Anran’s drawings. If the problem really was the design, then it is not my problem.” Hou Zhengwen looked at Anran coolly. His tone was quite provocative.

Anran looked at him and did not speak. She only made a circle with her pen. If it was her responsibility, she had nothing to say.

Huang Dexing saw Hou Zhengwen’s att.i.tude and directly said “Anran’s design was not the problem. The company had invited experts to make ​​a detailed a.n.a.lysis on the design. Those designs had reasonable calculations, and would not cause an accident,”

Hou Zheng Wen looked at him with wide open eyes, “I was in accordance with the design. If the design was right, then I have absolutely no problem with the construction. ”

” Lao* Hou, you should listen to people’s words until they finish. What nervous excitement you have. I did not say that your construction was the problem. “Huang Dexing noticed Zhengwen’s eyes and said jokingly. 　　 *) Lao : senior

Hou Zhengwen touched his nose, muttered, “It’s ok as long as it’s is not my responsibility on the line.”

Huang Dexing glanced at Xiao Xiao again, then spoke “This incident’s problem is neither in the design nor the construction. It is mainly due to the quality of the cement which, which was not in compliance with the regulations. The composite Portland cement with the compressive strength of the measured value of this label expansion cards is only 32.5 4.8,4.3Mpa. It has a difference of 6.8 from a standard value of 32.5Mpa. It is 7.6 times. Such a composite Portland cement has lost its value. This is the fundamental and the main reason for the collapse. ”

Anran raised her head, surprised at the outcome. In order to avoid accidents, it was important that cement strength was up to standard. It was entirely related to whether the house could be built. It was related to the lives of hundreds or thousands of residents later.

People also had open discussions. They were engaged in construction and were afraid to encounter such a situation. Unreasonable construction design could not correct these changes. Whether cost-saving was the reason to  reduce the quality of the house or not, it was all related to human life. Fortunately, this problem was found early on. If it was too late, and the building was finished, they were afraid that it would not just be the balcony collapsing. The casualties would not be just one person.

Huang Dexing waved his hand for silence and continued. “Well, regarding the cement quality problems, the company will coordinate with suppliers on how to resolve this matter. We have a solution, don’t spread this, and colleagues, do not hold any unpleasant feelings towards each other. ”

“As it’s investigated clearly, it’s good enough. I have no opinion.” Hou Zhengwen muttered loudly.

“If the problem is the raw materials, no matter how good, even by carrying out the best construction and having the design, it will be all in vain. That is what I personally think about this accident. Our company needs to demand the supplier to go to the court, in order to get the justice for others. After all, we are engaged in the building project. We can’t afford a big risk. “Anran said objectively.

Huang Dexing nodded, glanced at Xiao Xiao, and only said “The company will deal with this matter, we will absolutely not tolerate it.”

Anran nodded and turned around. Opposite of her, she saw Xiao Xiao faintly smiling at her. Her eyes were kind of cold. Anran frowned. When Anran looked at her, she had turned away. She saw Xiao Xiao smiling and asking Huang Dexing about the other matter.

Huang Dexing nodded and said “Another matter for discussion is about the bidding on the munic.i.p.al building. It will begin in a few days. Our company’s design has not been determined. On next Wednesday, I would like to have a public compet.i.tion in the company. Several designers will turn in their design, and then we will open the vote. The design with the most votes will be used. Of course, if the few interns are interested, they can also partic.i.p.ate. It would be an opportunity to exercise their skills. ”

Thinking of the design, Anran got a headache. These days, she was so busy but don’t know what she was so busy about.She had only come up with a large sample until now, but had not finished with all the details. Originally, she thought to rush the design in the evening, but Su Yi Cheng had tightly wrapped around her all night. Several times, he did not let her get out of the bed in the morning. She really did not understand where did he get so much energy.

Thinking of these things, Anran could not help but get angry. Her face unconsciously became hotter.

“Anran?” Huang Dexing frowned, called her.

Anran looked at him blankly looking at them. She did not hear what was discussed.

“What are you thinking about? You are blushing. Director called you a few times  but did not respond.” Xiao Xiao on the opposite of her asked.

Anran unconsciously touched her cheeks. They were slightly hot. She looked aplogetically at Huang Dexing and then nodded. “I’m sorry. I just got distracted.”

Huang Dexing looked at her eyes, only saying, “We have dinner with Tong Juzhang from Urban Construction Bureau tonight. You don’t rush to go home after work. This time you and Xiao Xiao have to socialize with me. ”

Anran nodded, “Yes, I know.” Such entertainment was actually widespread. Although she did not like it, but there was no way to refuse it.

Huang Dexing nodded. He collected the table’s data, stood up and said “Well, today’s meeting ends here. Let’s all get back to work.”

Anran sighed with relief. She half-laid against the chair and did not get up. Her eyes showed some fatigue. Her body was aching. She felt that she should requested Su Yi Cheng to talk about married life. Otherwise, he would drain her.

“Congratulations to you, ah, so lucky.”

While Anran was thinking about how to deal with Su Yi Cheng, her head turned to the cool voice. Her tone was cold. This was not good. She looked up and saw Xiao Xiao faintly smiling at her. She was smiling but it did not reach to her eyes.

“What do you mean?” Anran frowned. She did not understand the meaning of her words. Congratulations for what?

Xiao Xiao smiled and looked at her strangely. She did not speak, only turned around and exited the meeting room.
