340 Renovation
From the moment the construction team arrived at Stoneback Village, they could hear the sound of machinery.
Nowadays, construction was more mechanical.
Gu Qingming wanted to build a villa-type office that was 500 square meters and three floors high. She also wanted to build a large warehouse that was 600 square meters.
If they were not prepared in time, it would be difficult to find a place to store a large amount of food, peanuts, and watermelons during the harvest season.
Because they invited the construction team of a first-tier construction company, it was very efficient.
In just over 20 days, the foundation and construction of the main body were almost completed.
Next, they had to work on the renovation design.
Gu Qingming planned to use green environmental materials for these renovation materials.
This way, as long as the company was renovated and aired out, they could go in to work.
The manager in charge of their project enthusiastically recommended the renovation company that he was very familiar with. He said that he was acquainted with the people in the company and it was easy to run the project things. He would definitely make her office building beautiful.
In the industry, there were unspoken rules among the various entities such as construction companies and renovation companies, as well as real estate companies and renovation companies.
Gu Qingming also handed the renovation to Manager Fan, the manager of this project.
Gu Qingming said very seriously, “Manager Fan, I trust you. I hope that the materials used for my villa are all green environmental materials.”
Manager Fan looked to be in his early forties. He was average-sized, neither fat nor thin. He was a little bald. He was probably busy with work in the construction industry every day.
He smiled and said, “Mr. Gu, don’t worry. I can guarantee that I am trustworthy and conscientious.”
Gu Qingming said with a faint smile, “Manager Fan, I trusted you, so I handed the renovation to you. It’s good that you don’t mind that this project is too small!”
Manager Fan smiled sincerely and said, “CEO Gu, look at what you’re saying. Why would I despise your family’s project? You have to know that these projects are my bread and butter!”
He never dared to underestimate anyone, including this girl who lived in the countryside.
Since she had set up a greenhouse with millions of dollars and then built a villa and office building, it was obvious that her family background was not simple.
At the same time, he had also found out more.
Gu Qingming was the daughter of the richest man in Sea City, Gu Jianguo.
Such a force was not something a small fry like him could afford to offend.
The reason why he took on this renovation was not to cooperate with the renovation company, but to gain a favorable impression of Gu Qingming.
Although Sea City was thousands of miles away from City Z, if he really offended this girl, her father might be able to take revenge on him with a wave of his hand.
Since she had handed the renovation to Manager Fan, Gu Qingming did not worry about the matter anymore.
It was just that the people from the renovation company came over to take a look when they were doing the renovation.
Although Manager Fan was in charge, the company had construction tasks at all times. He could not keep an eye on the renovation.
The reason why he introduced the renovation company to Gu Qingming was because he was familiar with the general manager of the renovation company, Bi Qi.
The renovation company had a certain reputation in Pingyang County because they usually worked with a major construction company.
Manager Fan repeatedly emphasized to Bi Qi that they had to send an outstanding renovation team over. They could not neglect this customer’s renovation!
Bi Qi listened to Manager Fan and sent an outstanding team over.
Initially, when they received the renovation project, everyone was very happy.
However, if multiple projects were received at the same time, there would definitely be one project that was neglected.
It was obvious that the neglected project related to Gu Qingming’s villa.
One of the projects was in the villa area of the county city, for a rich family. The other was in the countryside, which was 40 to 50 miles away from the county city. It was troublesome to transport materials. Naturally, they did not pay as much attention to the villa in the countryside.
“Is this renovation for an office building?” Someone in the renovation team asked curiously. “What kind of company is this? Building an office building in the countryside?”
Many companies’ offices were in high-rise buildings in the urban areas.
“I took a look at the renovation plan and designed a signboard. I think it’s called Stoneback Village Qingkang Green Food Company!”
“Oh, so it’s a company that sells vegetables and agricultural products. No wonder this office building is built in the countryside.”
While these people were chatting, Gu Qingming walked in.
As soon as she entered, she couldn’t help but frown. The tip of her nose twitched, and her gaze swept towards the materials used.
Gu Qingming frowned and asked the contractor, “Master Zhang, are these materials the green environmental materials I need?”
When Master Zhang heard Gu Qingming’s question, he immediately said angrily, “Miss Gu, what do you mean? I’ve been renovating for more than ten years. Could it be that I even got the green environmental materials wrong? Or are you suspecting me?”
It was unknown if Master Zhang was angry or feeling guilty.
Gu Qingming’s beautiful and sharp eyes stared intently at the other party’s expression. Then, she revealed a meaningful smile and said calmly, “Oh, could it be that you’re feeling agitated from guilt?”
Master Zhang’s pupils constricted, and his expression changed slightly before becoming calm again.
He said loudly, “Why should I feel guilty? Miss Gu, don’t you think it’s too much to say that? By saying that I’m guilty for no reason, what are your intentions?”
Gu Qingming stared into his eyes and said sharply, “Master Zhang, haven’t you heard that the more guilty someone is, the louder they speak?”
Master Zhang threw away the tools in his hand and nodded angrily. “If you don’t want us to do it, just say it. Don’t beat around the bush here and say that we cut corners!”
Then, he looked at his subordinates who were working and shouted, “Stop, stop working!”
Everyone stopped. Five or six renovation employees gathered in front of Gu Qingming, looking like they were going to bully her.
“Miss Gu, when we renovate for other clients, we’ve never had a client as mean and picky as you. If you have any dissatisfaction, just say it. We are listening.”
A very muscular man stared fixedly at Gu Qingming’s beautiful face with a drop of saliva at the corner of his mouth. He sneered and said, “Miss Gu, we’re professionals in renovation. And you, an outsider, are actually doubting our professionalism!”
Gu Qingming looked at these people’s attitudes and frowned even more.
...
She took out her phone and made a call in front of these people.
“Manager Fan, I’m Gu Qingming. Where are you? Can I trouble you to come to Stoneback Village? If you’re here, you’ll know what’s going on!”
