My Taoist buddy has practiced surrogacy

Chapter 1286 Progress

He led the team to study technical solutions day and night and consult a large amount of information and literature. After countless tests and simulation analyses, they finally found an innovative reinforcement method. This method not only effectively solved the structural problem, but also saved time and cost. The project was successfully completed and became one of the local landmarks. Zhou Xing and Ling Xue were also recognized and rewarded by the company for their outstanding performance in the project. Their careers have reached a new peak.

After going through countless ups and downs, Zhou Xing and Ling Xue's love finally came to fruition. They held a grand and warm wedding. Friends and relatives came from all directions to bless them. At the wedding, Zhou Xing looked at the beautiful Ling Xue, his heart full of emotion: "Dear Ling Xue, we have gone through so many hardships and obstacles together, and now we are finally together. I will cherish you more and love you for the rest of my life." Ling Xue's eyes were full of happy tears: "Zhou Xing, me too. We will create a better future together." After marriage, they continued to shine in the field of architecture. They set up their own architectural design studio and undertook various projects. With rich experience and innovative ideas, their studio has become famous. Their works have not only won numerous awards and honors in China, but also attracted attention and praise internationally.

Zhou Xing stood on the scaffolding on the second floor of the construction site, holding the construction drawings in his hand, his brows furrowed. The March wind carried fine sand, making the drawings rustle. He looked at his watch. It was already four o'clock in the afternoon. According to the schedule, the second floor template should be completed today, but the situation on site made him feel depressed.

"The spacing between formwork supports is too large, which will pose a safety hazard when pouring concrete." A cold female voice came from behind.

Zhou Xing turned around and saw a young woman wearing a white helmet and a reflective vest looking up at him. She had a neat ponytail and her fair skin was so white that it didn't fit in with the gray surroundings. She wore a pair of silver-rimmed glasses on her nose, and her eyes behind the lenses were sharp and focused.

"Are you the new supervisor?" Zhou Xing came down from the scaffolding and brushed the dust off his hands.

"Ling Xue, project supervisor." She held out her hand. "According to the specification, the spacing between formwork supports cannot exceed 80 centimeters. Now this spacing is obviously exceeded."

Zhou Xing held her hand, which was slightly cool to the touch. "Zhou Xing, project builder. This spacing is calculated, and we used a higher strength formwork material."

"Specifications are specifications." Ling Xue interrupted him and pulled out a document from her folder. "This is the latest construction specification. Article 3.2.1 clearly states..."

Zhou Xing watched her reading the regulations in a serious manner, and suddenly found it a little funny. He had seen too many supervisors who read from the script, but it was rare to see someone as serious as her. "Supervisor Ling," he pointed to the steel structure above his head, "This project uses a new light steel structure, which is 30% lighter than the traditional structure, so..."

"Reducing the weight doesn't mean we can ignore the regulations." Ling Xue pushed her glasses. "If there are any quality problems, who will bear the responsibility?"

Zhou Xing noticed that when she said this, her right hand unconsciously clenched the folder, and her knuckles turned slightly white. He suddenly realized that this seemingly strong girl might care about this job more than he thought.

"Okay," he compromised, "I'll ask them to readjust the support spacing. But Supervisor Ling, you have to give me a guarantee that if the adjustment of the support delays the construction period."

"I will record the situation truthfully, but I will not give the green light to any illegal operation." Ling Xue said, and turned to the next checkpoint. Zhou Xing looked at her from behind and suddenly found a cartoon sticker of a cute panda on her helmet.

That night, Zhou Xing worked overtime in the office until late. He recalculated the support spacing and found that Ling Xue was right. Although new materials were used, the specifications were still the specifications. He rubbed his sore temples and was about to turn off the computer when he suddenly heard hurried footsteps outside.

"Mr. Zhou! Is Mr. Zhou here?" It was the security officer on duty.

"What's wrong?" Zhou Xing walked out quickly.

"The weather forecast says the typhoon will land early, and Supervisor Ling said he would go check flood control measures."

Zhou Xing's heart tightened. He grabbed the flashlight and ran out. Sure enough, he saw Ling Xue in the material storage area. She was directing the workers to reinforce the rainproof cloth, and the strong wind had already made her unable to stand steadily.

"Are you crazy?" Zhou Xing grabbed her arm, "A typhoon is coming, it's very dangerous here!"

"The waterproof material hasn't been fixed yet," Ling Xue shook off his hand, "If it gets soaked by rain, the damage will be huge."

Before he finished speaking, a gust of wind whistled past, and Ling Xue staggered. Zhou Xing quickly grabbed her waist. Their helmets collided with each other, making a crisp sound. Ling Xue had a faint scent of jasmine on her body, which was completely different from the usual dusty smell on the construction site.

"Be careful!" Zhou Xing pulled her to a sheltered place, "Leave these things to me, you go back first."

"No," Ling Xue said stubbornly, "This is my duty."

Zhou Xing looked at her long hair that was blown by the wind, and suddenly understood something. He took off his coat and put it on her, "Then let's go together."

That night, they worked until the early morning. When the last piece of rainproof cloth was fixed, big raindrops finally fell. Zhou Xing dragged Ling Xue into the duty room, and both of them were soaked.

"Here," Zhou Xing handed her a towel, "Wipe it off."

Ling Xue took the towel and suddenly smiled. This was the first time Zhou Xing saw her smile, like spring snow melting. "Thank you," she said, "Actually I know you are right about the support spacing."

Zhou Xing was stunned for a moment, "Then why?"

"Because I want everyone to know that this project must be carried out strictly in accordance with the specifications." Ling Xue wiped her hair, "My father was once punished for construction quality issues." Her voice suddenly choked.

Zhou Xing didn't say anything, but silently poured her a cup of hot water. The rain outside was getting heavier, and the lights in the duty room were flickering. At this moment, he suddenly felt that this stubborn girl might understand responsibility better than he did.

By using big data to analyze user behavior and accurately locate the target customer group, we have launched a series of personalized services and special activities, such as women-only game nights and nostalgic game weeks, which have successfully attracted the attention of specific groups and stabilized the customer base.

In this process, the contradictions between Zhou Xing and Ling Xue gradually emerged. As a rational businessman, Zhou Xing pays more attention to data and efficiency, hoping to seize the market opportunity by quickly iterating products; while Ling Xue pays more attention to user experience and emotional connection, worrying that excessive commercial operations will destroy the original warm atmosphere of the "Memories" Internet Cafe. After several intense discussions, both of them realized the importance and irreplaceability of each other, learned to find consensus on the basis of respecting each other, and jointly formulate a more comprehensive development strategy. After a series of efforts and adjustments, Zhou Xing's Internet company and Ling Xue's "Memories" Internet Cafe finally ushered in the harvest season. The number of users of the cloud gaming platform has surged, becoming an emerging force in the industry; the "Memories" Internet Cafe has also transformed from a traditional Internet cafe facing difficulties to an entertainment complex with a modern feel and cultural heritage, not only greatly improving its profitability, but also winning a good social reputation.

More importantly, Zhou Xing and Ling Xue have deepened their understanding and trust of each other through this cooperation. They realize that although they are on different paths, they are both pursuing their youthful dreams in their own way. Their story is not only a record of success and failure, but also a revelation about how to keep the original intention, be innovative, and stick to oneself in a changing era.

Standing at a new starting point, Zhou Xing and Ling Xue have a more ambitious vision. They plan to replicate the "Memories" Internet cafe model in more cities and build a national chain brand. At the same time, they will explore the application of cutting-edge technologies such as virtual reality and artificial intelligence in the Internet cafe industry to provide users with a more immersive gaming experience. In addition, they also hope to promote the healthy development of e-sports culture by holding more charity events and cultural exchange activities, so that more people can understand and accept gaming as a legitimate form of leisure and entertainment.

In the days ahead, no matter how many difficulties and challenges they encounter, Zhou Xing and Ling Xue will work hand in hand to continue writing their youth chapters, because they believe that as long as there is a dream in their hearts, they will have the power to overcome all obstacles and let the tree of life bloom with the most brilliant brilliance.

Faced with this situation, Zhou Xing and Ling Xue decided to take action. They first strengthened cooperation with suppliers to ensure that all products sold could be traced back to their source and quality was guaranteed. At the same time, they added anti-counterfeiting marks to the packaging and reminded consumers through official channels how to distinguish authenticity.

In addition, in order to cope with the pressure brought by the price war, they did not choose to reduce product quality or participate in vicious competition, but found another way. Zhou Xing used his creativity and photography skills to shoot a series of lifestyle short films with figs as the theme, showing the important position of figs in a healthy diet and a variety of innovative ways to eat them. These contents are novel and interesting, and quickly spread on the Internet, attracting a large number of consumers who pay attention to healthy living.

Ling Xue led the team to develop several deep-processed fig products with exclusive formulas, such as fig enzyme, fig energy bars, etc. These new products not only retain all the advantages of figs, but also have unique taste and efficacy. They have been warmly welcomed by the market once they were launched.

Zhou Xing stood on the scaffolding at the construction site, squinting his eyes and looking into the distance. The March sun was already a bit dazzling, he raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead, and his eyes wandered around the construction site full of steel bars.

This was the third large project he was in charge of, and as the chief builder, he was very strict with every detail. Suddenly, his eyes were fixed on a tower crane not far away - there seemed to be something wrong with the steel wire rope of the tower crane.

"Xiao Wang, give me the telescope." He extended his hand to the assistant beside him.

Taking the telescope, Zhou Xing carefully checked the tower crane. As expected, there was an obvious wear on the wire rope, which is an extremely dangerous hidden danger in high-rise building construction. He frowned and was about to ask his assistant to notify the supervision department when a clear female voice came from below.

"Mr. Zhou, I have discovered this potential safety hazard."

Zhou Xing looked down and saw a young woman wearing a white helmet and black-framed glasses looking up at him. The sun shone diagonally from behind her, outlining a faint halo around her.

"Who are you?"

"I'm the new supervisor, Ling Xue." The woman pushed her glasses. "I've already recorded the problem with the tower crane, but the construction company has been shirking responsibility by saying that the construction period is tight."

Zhou Xing climbed down the scaffolding and stood in front of Ling Xue. She was not tall, only as tall as his shoulders, but she stood straight with a firm gaze. A strand of chestnut curly hair appeared under her helmet, shining softly in the sun.

“Since you have discovered the problem, why not deal with it in a timely manner?” Zhou Xing’s tone was a little harsh.

Ling Xue looked back at him without showing any weakness: "Mr. Zhou, I have been sending rectification notices for three consecutive days, but each time your construction party made excuses. I went to look for you this morning, but you were not in the office."

Zhou Xing was stunned for a moment. He had indeed gone to the material warehouse to check early in the morning, but he didn't expect to miss such an important thing.

"I'm sorry. I was negligent," he said sincerely. "Stop the work and rectify it immediately. I will supervise it personally."

Ling Xue seemed to have not expected that he would admit his mistake so straightforwardly, and the sharpness in her eyes softened a little: "That would be the best. But Engineer Zhou, I suggest that we conduct a comprehensive inspection of the tower cranes in the entire construction site. The weather has been changeable recently, and safety hazards cannot be taken lightly."

Zhou Xing nodded and was about to speak when a strong wind suddenly blew past. Ling Xue's helmet was blown to one side, and she reached out to hold it, but accidentally knocked her glasses off. Zhou Xing quickly caught the falling glasses, but when he handed them back, he noticed a faint scar on the corner of her eye.

"Thank you." Ling Xue took the glasses and put them on again. The scar was covered by the frame again.

"Your eyes." Zhou Xing asked subconsciously.

Ling Xue's expression suddenly became a little stiff: "Nothing, just an accident when I was a child." She quickly changed the subject, "Engineer Zhou, let's deal with the tower crane problem as soon as possible."

Zhou Xing wisely did not ask any further questions and followed her towards the tower crane. But for some reason, the scar and Ling Xue's instantly dim eyes left a deep impression on him.

In the next few days, Zhou Xing and Ling Xue were inseparable, checking every corner of the construction site. He found that this young supervisor was extremely meticulous and could always find some details that ordinary people would easily overlook. Ling Xue also gradually discovered that this seemingly strict builder actually had a strong sense of responsibility.

That evening, Zhou Xing was sorting out documents in his office when he suddenly received a warning from the weather station: a typhoon was about to land. He immediately grabbed his helmet and rushed out of the office, bumping into Ling Xue who was running over.

"Mr. Zhou, the typhoon is coming!" Ling Xue said breathlessly, "I just checked and found that the scaffolding of Building 3 is not fixed firmly enough. It must be reinforced immediately!"

"I have notified all the teams and will go to the scene now."
