When Jiang's father opposed their relationship, their affection remained excellent. Now that their family no longer objects, their relationship is not as good as before.

Although she didn't want to admit it, she had to admit that she had been too naive and idealistic before, thinking that love was everything.

Reality, however, dealt her a harsh blow. Because of her wealthy family and her parents' doting love, she lived like Princess Jiang, surrounded by smiling faces and kind people.

Without these supports, she was brought down to earth by the harsh realities of life, becoming no different from ordinary people. She too faced financial hardship, had to be meticulous with money, and needed to be shrewd with her finances.

She suddenly wanted to go back to the old days and continue being her little princess.

However, every cloud has a silver lining.

Having suffered setbacks in both her love life and personal life, she no longer had time for romance and enjoying life, and instead devoted more energy to her studies, which earned her Professor Dong's appreciation.

The design and renovation project of the Songjiang Boutique Hotel is the largest project under Professor Dong's supervision in the past two years, and it is also a key project of the college. It enjoys national subsidies, and participating in it can not only broaden one's horizons, but also be a valuable qualification.

Professor Dong probably added Jiang Nansun to the list because he thought she was a diligent student.

Having witnessed the cruel side of society, and with the rare opportunity to become Professor Dong's doctoral student, Nan Sun was naturally very happy to accept.

Having learned the address, I went there the next day.

The Songjiang Boutique Hotel is located in the SJ district. Jiang Nansun rarely takes taxis anymore and has developed the habit of taking the subway and buses.

After getting off the subway in Songjiang, Jiang Nansun slung her bag over her shoulder and walked towards the bus stop ahead. She would need to take another bus to get to her destination.

On a sweltering summer day, Jiang Nansun walked along the road, a fine layer of sweat appearing on the tip of his nose. He fanned himself with his hand, creating a few wisps of breeze, and let out a soft sigh.

From childhood to adulthood, she has never suffered hardship or lacked money. These days are probably a rare period of hardship in her long life.

Two months ago, if anyone had said that she was trying to save money by taking the subway and bus instead of taxis, she would have given them a haughty snort and rolled her eyes.

Now, this has become a reality, a choice she made after careful consideration.

It can only be said that she was indeed a hothouse flower before, imagining the world to be too beautiful. After leaving the support of her family and the pampering of her parents, she suddenly couldn't adapt.

A slight sadness settled in his heart when suddenly a car horn sounded behind him. Startled, Jiang Nansun turned around and glared at the driver.

The car slowly pulled up beside her and stopped. The window opened, and there was Li Mu.

"Nan Sun, what a coincidence! What brings you here?"

Jiang Nansun also recognized Li Mu and was somewhat surprised.

"Professor Dong has a project here, and he asked me to come and put it into practice."

Li Mu laughed and said, "Walking won't do. Where is it? I'll take you there."

Jiang Nansun hesitated for a moment: "There's no need for that trouble, it will only take up your time. You can take the bus up ahead."

Li Mu said, "Don't be so polite, get in the car."

Jiang Nansun hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

Once she got into the car and saw Li Mu next to her, she blushed slightly, thinking about what happened that night.

Li Mu acted with composure and grace, as if he had completely forgotten about it. Jiang Nansun breathed a sigh of relief, but for some reason, felt a little disappointed.

According to the address, the car quickly arrived at the road in front of the construction site of the Songjiang Boutique Hotel. Jiang Nansun smiled sweetly at Li Mu and said, "Jiaming, I've arrived. Thank you for driving me."

Li Mu smiled and said, "You're welcome. Would you like me to escort you inside?"

Jiang Nansun waved his hand and said, "No need, thank you, it's just this building in front of us."

Li Mu said, "Okay, then be careful. It's almost noon. I'll finish up what I'm doing and then treat you to lunch."

Jiang Nansun opened his mouth, unsure whether to accept or refuse.

Li Mu said, "We've already agreed that I'll come pick you up later."

Jiang Nansun hesitated for a moment, then finally nodded.

"Ok!"

After watching Li Mu leave, Jiang Nansun walked into the construction site and saw Wang Yong directing the workers from afar.

She was taken aback. After what happened last time, she had a very bad impression of Wang Yongzheng and thought it would be awkward to meet him, since she had been taught a lesson by Li Mu. Unexpectedly, Wang Yongzheng noticed her and walked over with a smile as if nothing had happened.

"Hi, Nansun."

Jiang Nansun asked in confusion, "What are you doing here?"

Wang Yongzheng raised his chin slightly: "I've been here the whole time. What are you doing here?"

Jiang Nansun said, "Professor Dong arranged for me to come here. Where is the person in charge here? I need to go find him."

Wang Yongzheng pointed to himself: "That's me!"

Jiang Nansun was a little shocked, but then she understood. It was understandable that Wang Yongzheng, as Professor Dong's teaching assistant, would come to oversee the renovation work here on Professor Dong's behalf.

If she had a choice, she wouldn't really want to deal with the other party, but it was Professor Dong's arrangement, and she couldn't just turn around and leave.

Wang Yongzheng then handed him a safety helmet.

"Take this with you."

Jiang Nansun hesitated for a moment, but still accepted it. This opportunity for practical experience was highly sought after, and he couldn't give it up easily.

Seeing that she had accepted the helmet and clearly accepted the job, Wang Yongzheng smiled slightly, stepped forward, and extended his hand, saying, "Have you ever worn a helmet before? Let me help you."

Jiang Nansun took a step back.

"No, I'll do it myself."

Wang Yongzheng wasn't angry when he saw her. With a girl like Jiang Nansun, feelings need to be cultivated slowly; you can't rush it. As the site manager, it was easy for him to create an environment and opportunity to build rapport and create an ambiguous atmosphere.

"Nan Sun, come on, I'll show you around."

Jiang Nansun paused for a moment, then said, "Okay."

Wang Yongzheng led her on a tour, and when they returned to the renovation site, he saw that Nan Sun was looking at it very carefully, and a smile appeared on his face.

He then turned his head, suddenly becoming serious, and waved to the construction team foreman, saying, "Old Wei, come here."

Old Wei, who was leading his workers in renovations, quickly walked over upon hearing this.

Wang Yong, expressionless, pulled a drawing from his folder, unfolded it, and handed it to the other person.

"Here, take a look."

Old Wei took the blueprints and looked at them: "Is there anything I can help you with? We'll be finishing this phase of the project soon."

Wang Yongzheng took out a laser pointer and shone it around.

“The buckles are not evenly distributed. There are three here and two here. Also, the length of this rod is a bit wrong. It cannot exceed the angle iron.”

Old Wei was taken aback for a moment: "Isn't this normal? That's how it's done on construction sites."

Wang Yongzheng glanced at him and said expressionlessly, "What's normal about this? This won't work; it has to be done again."

Old Wei was dumbfounded: "This phase of the project is about to be completed. How can we redo such a large area?"

"The little flaw you mentioned is nitpicking. It doesn't affect the quality at all. Who can see it clearly? This is how it's been done on construction sites for so many years."

Wang Yongzheng's face turned cold: "I can see it clearly, it must be redone."

As a foreman, Lao Wei, at his age, also has a temper and cares about his reputation. After being spoken to like that by Wang Yongzheng, he was a little embarrassed.

“Xiao Wang, although you are in charge and have more education than me, you can’t be nitpicky and make things difficult for us. You have to be flexible in your work. I started working on construction sites when I was eighteen, and you were born around that time! We’ve been doing it this way for decades.”

Wang Yongzheng raised his chin: "That proves your experience is unreliable. Does being older have an advantage? Everything must be done according to the blueprints, without the slightest mistake. If you can't see, please use professional tools!"

Seeing that Wang Yongzheng was fixated on a minor flaw and wouldn't let it go, showing no mercy whatsoever, Lao Wei also got a little annoyed.

"Xiao Wang, don't nitpick. The project we did is perfect in terms of both functionality and aesthetics. We're just working for someone else, so don't go too far."

Wang Yongzheng sneered, "Am I being unreasonable? I'm just asking you to follow the blueprints. All the places I pointed out earlier need to be redone."

Old Wei didn't mince words: "Xiao Wang, you make it sound so easy. It's such a large area, I'll change it all. Are you going to pay for the overtime? If you are, no problem, I'll take the brothers and redo it right away. If you don't have the budget, then I'll take everyone out to eat!"

Chapter 198 Routine

Wang Yongzheng said expressionlessly, "There is no overtime pay. This is your job, and you have to redo it."

Old Wei snorted coldly. If Wang Yongzheng had spoken properly from the beginning, instead of acting arrogantly and condescendingly, he might have given him face and asked someone to change his ways.

They clearly didn't take him seriously, treating him like a servant. He wasn't about to waste his time trying to please them.

Thinking of this, he waved his hand at the workers under his command.

"Everyone, stop working and go eat. We'll have noodles today. Take a short break at noon, finish the rest of the work, and we'll be done!"

Upon hearing Lao Wei's shout, the workers stopped what they were doing and went outside.

Upon seeing this, Wang Yongzheng showed no sign of panic. Instead, he threatened, "Leave now, and you'll be absent from work for a day."

Old Wei gave him a cold look, ignored his threat, and turned to leave.

Seeing Lao Wei leave with all the workers, Wang Yongzheng shrugged, looked at Jiang Nansun beside him, and spread his hands, saying, "First day of internship, and you get to see such a wonderful scene. There's nothing we can do; they didn't want to work, so it's just the two of us left. Let's get started?"

Jiang Nansun was taken aback: "What?"

Wang Yongzheng gestured around and said, "We need to correct these problems! We can't just leave them like this, can we?"

Jiang Nansun said in disbelief, "You're serious about changing all of this? How long will this take? Can we handle it?"

Wang Yongzheng showed no anger at being rejected by Lao Wei. He had a faint smile on his face and said in a relaxed tone, "If we both work hard, we can finish it in one afternoon and then another night. It won't delay tomorrow's project progress."
