"No, that's the ratio." The foreman said hesitantly. He was already starting to feel unconfident.
"Is that so?" Ning Anlan's face was cold. She had specifically understood before that the ratio of cement to sand was 1: 2, but their ratio of cement to sand was clearly 1: 4.
"Yeah, that's right." The foreman puffed out his chest, as if to show how confident he was.
Ning Anlan harrumphed coldly. It seemed that this man really wouldn't turn back until he hit the wall.
"The cement and sand ratio is 1: 2, at most 1: 3, but your ratio is 1: 4." Ning Anlan looked at the foreman, who was still stubborn with his words, and said with a smile that was not a smile.
The overseer was stunned for a moment. He really didn't think that Ning Anlan would really understand. At first, he thought that Ning Anlan was trying to bomb him. However, he never expected that this time, he would really hit the nail on the head.
Ning Anlan had always been here before, and they all knew each other. However, Ning Anlan hadn't come here for a long time. Who would've thought that she would suddenly make a surprise attack?
"This … this could be our mistake. It was an accident." The foreman wiped the sweat off his forehead. Ning Anlan might look young, but the aura he felt coming from her really made him unable to lift his head.
"Wrong? You are a professional construction team, how can you be mistaken about this? " Ning Anlan cast a sidelong glance at the foreman and then looked around.
"I... I'm really sorry, I was wrong, I promise I won't be like this ever again. " The foreman looked very nervous.
This ratio was 1: 4, but there were also 1: 3. However, there weren't any 1: 2 ratio. Ning Anlan sneered. It seemed that they would be able to get a lot from this project.
"Go and collect your salary. Then you won't have to come back." After Ning Anlan finished speaking, he called the person in charge of this project. After confirming that he was really going to be expelled, he hung up the phone.
For a tumor like this, one had to get rid of it. Otherwise, it would be a huge problem. Putting aside the fact that the company had lost money, the houses they built wouldn't be so sturdy anymore.
"No, Director Ning, please give me one more chance." The foreman was still unwilling to give up, but Ning Anlan had already turned his head away. He did not intend to continue talking to him; she still had to find the ancient city and did not have the time to waste with him.
After giving the proposal to the ancient city, Ning Anlan didn't want to care about Northern Grace Lane anymore, but the ancient city didn't agree and still allowed Ning Anlan to follow.
Yesterday, Ning Bo had called her again to ask about the marriage. Ning Anlan's head really hurt, and it just so happened that North Alley had also entered its original stage, so Ning Anlan wanted to see if he could combine these two things.
If they could use the marriage between the Ning Family and the Gu Family to advertise the Northern En Lane, it would have a very good effect first, because she and the ancient city were both very closely watched. If the news of their marriage was made public, it would definitely attract a huge amount of attention from the society, and if they brought it to the Northern En Lane, there would be no need to worry about the promotion at the Northern En Lane anymore.
Moreover, doing this would save a lot of money to advertise. Wouldn't killing two birds with one stone? If she and Ancient City were really engaged, then they could use the marriage to publicize the Northern Grace Lane.
Ning Anlan thought about it very well. He wanted to use the engagement matter to advertise the Northern Alley. However, engagement was a matter for two people after all. Ning Anlan still needed to ask the ancient city's opinion.
"Miss Ning." When Ning Anlan arrived at the Gu household, Mingqing was already waiting at the door. Ning Anlan nodded and followed him upstairs.
"Why are you looking for me?" The ancient city was in the midst of reviewing the documents when it saw Ning Anlan coming up to it. It only gave him a casual glance before continuing to review the documents.
"Didn't you mention engagement a few days ago? I feel that we're going to get engaged sooner or later anyway, so there's nothing bad about booking earlier. Also, we can take this opportunity to advertise how we killed two birds with one stone. What do you think?"
Ning Anlan felt that he really was too good at settling the score, but the ancient city looked up at her and frowned.
From Ning Anlan's point of view, the ancient city had no reason to refuse. No matter what, they were going to get engaged, so it would be more effective to let them get engaged.
"Do you think that my Gu family cannot afford to advertise? You need to use this method to spread the news of the North End? "
The ancient city looked coldly at Ning Anlan, its eyes seemed to have been refined by ice, and it was not satisfied with Ning Anlan's suggestion. Ning Anlan was stunned for a moment, as he had not expected the ancient city to refuse.
"What I think is that since we're going to get engaged anyway, we might as well make full use of it to save on advertising fees. Isn't that perfect?"
Ning Anlan wanted to convince the ancient city. After all, this could save a lot of publicity money. Although the Gu family didn't lack the money, it wouldn't be wrong to save it all.
However, Ning Anlan didn't expect that Ancient City wouldn't accept her kindness. "You don't need to say anymore, I don't agree."
When he finished speaking and glancing at Mingqing, Mingqing immediately understood and gestured a "please" pose. Ning Anlan's butt hadn't warmed up yet, so he had no choice but to get up.
Looking at the ancient city's appearance, she seemed a little angry. Although she didn't know why the ancient city was so resolute, since he didn't accept this idea, then she could only change her plan.
Ning Anlan couldn't understand why he wasn't grateful at all and was so angry. Even after thinking for a long time, Ning Anlan still couldn't figure out how the man from the ancient city could have easily been seen through by her.
When Ning Anlan disappeared before the ancient city's eyes, the ancient city's mood improved a little, but when he thought about what Ning Anlan had just said, he couldn't help feeling angry.
She actually wanted to use the engagement matter to advertise the Northern Grace Lane. Was this woman crazy about money?
The more the ancient city thought about it, the angrier they got. In the end, they assigned a lot of tasks to Mingqing, and if they didn't finish it today, their bonuses would be deducted.
Mingqing accepted it with a face full of grievance, but he still didn't dare to resist. He was as pitiful as he could be.
Watching Ning Anlan leave the ancient city's company, Xiao Wen Jin rubbed his chin. He had followed Ning Anlan for a day, and this woman was indeed interesting. She was different from other women.
Especially today at the construction site, he did not expect a young miss who had been spoiled since she was young to know so much. To be honest, even he did not know the ratio of cement to sand.
Xiao Wen had already been waiting for Ning Anlan for a whole day, but Ning Anlan hadn't shown up for a single day. This was the first time he waited so patiently for someone, but that person didn't even give her face and never showed up.
It was only when he was about to leave that he saw Ning Anlan's car slowly drive over.
