Chapter 1303 Future

However, this material is relatively rarely used in the market and is difficult to construct. After listening to Zhou Xing's detailed introduction, Ling Xue, from the perspective of supervision, put forward her own views and suggestions on the quality inspection standards of materials and the key points of quality control during the construction process. After in-depth discussions and research, the two finally determined a feasible plan, which not only ensured the quality and progress of the project, but also added a touch of color to the innovative highlights of the project.

In addition to their tacit understanding in work, Zhou Xing and Ling Xue also gradually understood each other in life. On a weekend evening, the progress of the project came to a temporary halt, and Zhou Xing invited Ling Xue to go to the outskirts of the city to relax. They came to a quiet lake, and the afterglow of the setting sun sprinkled on the sparkling lake, reflecting the figures of the two. They strolled along the path by the lake, chatting about their respective interests, life experiences, and dreams for the future. Zhou Xing talked about his obsession with architecture when he was a child, and his efforts and persistence along the way to realize his dream of architecture; Ling Xue shared her growth insights in study and work, as well as her love for family and life. At that moment, they found that they had many common values ​​and life pursuits, and the two hearts unknowingly got closer.

However, the characteristics of the construction industry make their work full of uncertainty and pressure. As the project construction entered a critical stage, various problems followed one after another. A sudden rainstorm caused a flood at the construction site, and part of the poured foundation was soaked by water, which brought huge losses and delay risks to the project. Zhou Xing immediately organized the construction workers to carry out emergency rescue, formulate drainage plans, clean up the accumulated water, and evaluate and repair the damaged parts. Ling Xue also rushed to the scene as soon as possible to assist Zhou Xing in coordinating resources from all parties, supervising the construction unit to carry out construction in accordance with the rectification plan, and ensuring that the quality of the project was not affected. In those tense and busy days, they had almost no time to rest, working until late at night every day, with bloodshot eyes, but the encouragement and support from each other made them never give up.

In the process of dealing with the flood crisis, Zhou Xing and Ling Xue's feelings are also quietly heating up. The firm eyes when they faced difficulties together, and the warm touch when they supported each other, have become the most precious memories in their hearts. Late one night, in the temporary command shed, Zhou Xing sat tiredly on a chair, rubbing his temples with both hands. Ling Xue came over gently, handed him a cup of hot coffee, and whispered: "Zhou Xing, you have worked very hard, but believe in yourself, we will definitely be able to get through this difficult time." Zhou Xing raised his head and looked at Ling Xue's concerned eyes. A warm current surged in his heart. He took the coffee, held Ling Xue's hand, and said sincerely: "Ling Xue, with you by my side, I feel full of strength." At that moment, their hands were tightly clasped, as if conveying a silent commitment and determination.

After several weeks of intense repairs and adjustments, the project finally gradually returned to normal progress. However, this crisis also made Zhou Xing and Ling Xue deeply realize that in the construction industry, they not only have to face technical challenges, but also have to deal with various sudden natural factors and man-made difficulties. This also made them cherish their feelings and cooperation opportunities even more, because they know how important it is to have someone who understands, supports and accompanies them in this challenging industry.

In the vast countryside, Lingxue's fishing ground is like a pearl inlaid in the emerald green land. The sparkling lake reflects the blue sky and white clouds, and the willows on the shore are swaying. It is a paradise for fishing enthusiasts. Zhouxing's farm is like a slowly unfolding pastoral painting, with fragrant fruits and chickens and ducks, full of rich rural atmosphere.

Ling Xue, a graceful woman, has a unique love for fishing since she was a child. This love prompted her to take over the family's fishing ground and manage it in an orderly manner. She has a gentle and tenacious personality and has her own perseverance and wisdom in the business world.

Zhou Xing, a sunny and cheerful man, gave up his superior white-collar life in the city and resolutely returned to his hometown to engage in agriculture, hoping to bring new vitality to the land that gave him life and raised him. He is hospitable and always treats his friends and customers sincerely.

By chance, when Ling Xue was busy at the fishing ground, she found that the guests from the neighboring farm accidentally kicked the ball into the water of the fishing ground. Just as she was about to pick it up, Zhou Xing hurried over.

"I'm really sorry, Boss Ling, this ball was caused by our negligence." Zhou Xing said apologetically.

Ling Xue looked up and saw the handsome man with sincere eyes in front of her. She smiled slightly and said, "It's okay. You should be more careful next time."

In this way, the two of them officially met. During the simple conversation, they left a good impression on each other, and the seeds of friendship were quietly planted.

As time went by, local tourism gradually rose, but a single tourist attraction could not meet the increasingly diverse needs of tourists. Ling Xue and Zhou Xing were both keenly aware of this.

One day, Ling Xue was sorting out the accounts at the fishing ground, frowning. Although the business at the fishing ground was relatively stable, she always felt that it was still a little short of perfection. At this time, Zhou Xing came to visit.

"Boss Ling, I've also been thinking about how to expand the farm's business recently. Can we cooperate?" Zhou Xing said straight to the point.

Ling Xue's mind moved, and she put down the pen in her hand: "Well, that's exactly what I was thinking. Your farm has abundant agricultural products and catering resources, and my fishing ground can provide leisure fishing projects. If we can combine the two, maybe we can attract more tourists."

The two began to discuss enthusiastically, from jointly launching package tickets to jointly hosting theme activities, and the more they talked, the more excited they became. In the end, they decided to test the waters and jointly create a "Pastoral Fishing Festival".

In order to prepare for this event, they were all busy. Ling Xue carefully prepared a large number of high-quality fishing rods and baits, and also arranged exquisite decorations around the fishing grounds. Zhou Xing arranged for the chefs in the farm to develop new farm dishes, and organized the staff to clean and decorate the venue.

During the preparation process, they inevitably encountered some disagreements. For example, in terms of event promotion, Ling Xue advocated focusing on online social media, while Zhou Xing felt that offline flyers should not be ignored. However, after mutual communication and understanding, they found a balance point and integrated online and offline promotion channels, which quickly increased the popularity of the event.

Just as the "Pastoral Fishing Festival" was being prepared in full swing, a sudden accident disrupted the plan. A rainstorm swept the entire countryside, and the fishing grounds and farms were not spared.

The lake at the fishing grounds surged, some facilities were destroyed, and many fish in the ponds escaped. Ling Xue was extremely anxious and directed the staff to rescue in the rain. At Zhou Xing's farm, the newly ripe fruits and vegetables were smashed to pieces, and several greenhouses were overturned.

"What should I do? I've invested so much effort, and now it's all gone to waste." Ling Xue looked at the devastated fishing ground and couldn't help shedding tears.

Zhou Xing also stood aside, looking solemn: "Boss Ling, don't worry too much, we will definitely get through this difficult time. My farm has suffered a lot of losses, but I believe your fishing ground will be able to recover its former vitality."

In this difficult time, they comforted and encouraged each other. Zhou Xing took the initiative to suggest that the farm could first take out a part of the funds to help Ling Xue repair the key facilities of the fishing ground, and then repay them together after the farm recovered. Ling Xue was very grateful, she knew how precious Zhou Xing's support was in this difficult situation.

However, it was not easy to make matters worse. As the event could not be held on time, the tourists who had made reservations asked for a refund. Faced with huge economic pressure and tourists' dissatisfaction, Ling Xue and Zhou Xing fell into deep anxiety. But they both knew that they could not give up at this time and had to find a way to save the situation.

In order to recover the losses, Ling Xue and Zhou Xing decided to readjust their strategy. They stepped up online publicity and produced some videos showing the fishing grounds and farms still beautiful despite the wind and rain, accompanied by touching texts, telling the story of their entrepreneurship and their love for this land. After these contents were posted online, they attracted the attention and resonance of many people.

At the same time, they launched promotional activities in the local community, offering some low-priced fishing experience coupons and agricultural product discount packages. Ling Xue personally stood on the street to hand out flyers and introduce their activities to passers-by. Zhou Xing organized employees to bring fresh agricultural products to the nearby market to set up stalls for sale. Gradually, the situation began to improve. Some local tourists were moved by their sincerity and came to consume. Although the number was small, it brought hope to Ling Xue and Zhou Xing.

They also began to repair and rebuild the damaged facilities. Ling Xue contacted professional maintenance personnel, who worked day and night to repair the embankment of the fish pond and the protective facilities on the shore. Zhou Xing led the farm staff to clean up the farmland and rebuild the greenhouse. In the process, they understood each other's difficulties better and enhanced their trust in each other.

After a period of hard work, the fishing grounds and farms gradually regained their vitality. The lake water became clear and calm again, and new fish fry were put into the fish pond; the crops in the farms were green again, and the fruits and vegetables in the greenhouses were thriving. Those tourists who had requested refunds saw their changes and cancelled their refund applications, and even recommended more friends to come.

As the business of the fishing ground and the farm gradually got on track, the relationship between Ling Xue and Zhou Xing also quietly changed. The long-term relationship allowed them to get to know each other better, and the ups and downs they experienced together created a special tacit understanding between them.

On a quiet evening, the afterglow of the setting sun shone on the lake surface of the fishing ground, making the waves sparkle. After a busy day's work, Ling Xue and Zhou Xing took a walk together by the lake.

"Ling Xue, this time it's all thanks to you. If you hadn't been so persistent, we might have really given up." Zhou Xing said with emotion, looking into the distance.

Ling Xue lowered her head slightly, her face flushed: "In fact, you have helped me a lot. Without your efforts at the farm, I really don't know what I should do."

The two walked in silence, no one spoke, but the atmosphere was particularly warm. Suddenly, an unknown bird flew over the lake, breaking the tranquility.

"Look, that bird! It's so free." Zhou Xing said, pointing at the bird.

"Yes, it would be nice if we could be as free as it is." Ling Xue responded softly.

At this point, the two smiled at each other, and an inexplicable feeling welled up in their hearts. They began to realize that the position of each other in each other's hearts was no longer just a simple partner.

However, this relationship came to them a little suddenly and unexpectedly. They were afraid that this relationship would affect the existing cooperative relationship. After all, in the business world, it is often difficult to balance feelings and interests. Therefore, they chose to bury this emotion deep in their hearts and continue to get along as partners.

After Ling Xue returned home, she saw her changes in her parents' eyes. Both of them were traditional businessmen who were more concerned about the interests and development of their business. When they learned that their daughter had developed feelings for Zhou Xing that went beyond a partnership, they expressed strong opposition.

"Xue'er, you are the owner of a fishing ground and should focus on your career. Although Zhou Xing is a good person, he is a man after all. If there are problems in your relationship in the future, you will be the one who suffers." Ling Xue's mother said worriedly.

Ling Xue's father also nodded and said, "We have worked hard to develop the fishing ground to its current size. It is not easy. You can't let your momentary emotional impulse affect the overall situation."

Ling Xue was caught in a dilemma, on one side were her beloved parents, and on the other side was Zhou Xing, who made her heart beat. She didn't know how to choose and could only sigh silently in her heart.

Zhou Xing's situation was similar. His family thought he should find a woman who was more suitable for him and could help him in his career. When they heard about the relationship between Zhou Xing and Ling Xue, they also strongly opposed it.

"Okay, you are going to inherit the farm business, how can you be with someone who runs a fishing ground? What can she bring to you?" Zhou Xing's father asked seriously.

"Dad, you don't understand her. She is very hard-working and capable, and we have a lot of fun working together." Zhou Xing tried to explain.

"Cooperation is cooperation, but marriage is a lifelong commitment and can't be taken so lightly." Zhou Xing fell into deep thought after hearing his father's words.

The pressure from the family was like an invisible mountain, weighing on Ling Xue and Zhou Xing's hearts. They began to deliberately distance themselves from each other, and when they met, they no longer talked and laughed naturally like before. This change made both of them very painful, but they didn't know how to change the status quo.

Due to family resistance and deliberate alienation, the relationship between Ling Xue and Zhou Xing became increasingly tense. During a discussion about the promotion plan for the new season's agricultural products, the conflict between the two broke out completely.

"I think we should focus on the green and organic concept, and emphasize promoting the fact that our farm's agricultural products are pure natural and pollution-free." Zhou Xing put forward his ideas at the meeting.

"But our main customers now are office workers in surrounding cities and some retired elderly people. They pay more attention to price and convenience. If we only emphasize green and organic, the price will definitely go up, and we may lose some customers," Ling Xue retorted.

"We can't just look at the immediate benefits, we have to consider the long-term. Green and organic is the trend of the future. As long as we do a good job of branding, customers will naturally be willing to pay for it."
