After half a lifetime of navigating the world, the system tells me to be a good big brother!

Although he himself did not continue to engage in engineering business, he had a number of old friends who had never left the business.

Sha Chao, who had been running a cement mixing plant for a long time, could think of the most suitable candidate.

Sha Chao's cement mixing plant is located in the suburbs, not far from the city center; it only takes about twenty minutes by bike.

From afar, you can see a large factory area with piles of sand and gravel inside.

The tall workshop was humming with activity, and several mixer trucks were lined up, heading towards the discharge port.

The factory area is now extremely clean, and the dusty scenes of previous years will never be seen again.

In order to pass the environmental impact assessment, Sha Chao not only spent money but also used a lot of personal connections.

There were hardly any workers in the factory area; it was all machinery at work.

Li Qing parked his motorcycle in front of the office building. As soon as he took off his helmet, the security guard at the entrance came over.

But once the security guard saw his face clearly, he immediately went back to the main gate.

Since Li Qing came to see Sha Chao from time to time, and Sha Chao was no stranger to him at the factory, he immediately went back after recognizing him.

Li Qing pushed open the office building door and went straight to the fifth floor where Sha Chao's office was located.

When I took the elevator to the fifth floor, I saw Sha Chao standing by the window, staring down at the view below.

Sha Chao and Li Qing both have bald heads, a habit they developed from fighting back then.

However, Sha Chao was not physically imposing; his physique was not much different from that of an average person, and he began to gain weight as he approached thirty.

They all came from Dong Ge's side. Although it wasn't as old as the 1990s, loyalty was still important back then.

When Li Qing saw Sha Chao, he immediately shouted at the top of his lungs.

"Brother Chao, your butt's showing!"

Sha Chao turned around and saw Li Qing with a smile on his face.

A smile immediately appeared on his face, and he strode towards him, raising both hands as if aiming for Li Qing's neck.

As expected, Sha Chao came up to Li Qing and gave him a good thrashing on the neck, and they both burst into laughter.

"Why do you have time to come over here? I usually ask you to come over for drinks but you never come."

"Oh, right, as I told you last time, I'm inviting city leaders over for drinks soon. Don't forget to come and keep them company."

Li Qing certainly hadn't forgotten what Sha Chao said, since his business also required him to maintain good relations with his superiors.

After all, in China's bureaucratic environment, if you want to do business in peace, you inevitably need to maintain relationships with officials.

"I know, I can't forget."

Li Qing said something to Sha Chao, then pulled Sha Chao to sit down on the sofa in the reception area, and casually took a bottle of iced tea from the refrigerator next to him.

"Brother Chao, you prepared this iced tea for me, right? That's great, you haven't forgotten that your little brother loves this Guojiao."

"Get lost! How dare you! I even prepared this especially for you. I like to drink it too, okay?"

As Sha Chao spoke, Li Qing took a sip of the drink without delay, and then explained his purpose to Sha Chao, who looked at him with a questioning expression.

"Brother Chao, I'm here because I need to ask you for a job."

I got a shop in Baihua New Town, and I plan to open a spa center there.

"I just didn't have anyone to do the work for me, so I came to ask you for some advice."

After hearing what he said, Sha Chao's lips twitched incessantly. Despite running a concrete mixing plant and seemingly making a lot of money, his cash flow was actually quite low.

His total assets are definitely more than Li Qing's, but if you ask him to get a shop in Baihua New City, he really can't do it in a short time.

That's how it is in asset-heavy industries, and Sha Chao is no exception. Does he have money? Yes! Where is the money? The money is all floating around outside; it's definitely not in his hands.

"Xiaoqing, you've done really well these past few years, your business has grown bigger and bigger."

It's a motorcycle shop and a billiards hall, much more comfortable than my cement mixing plant.

They actually managed to get a shop in Baihua New Town? Is it the kind of shop I know?

"A two-and-a-half-story shop, is it the one you bought that has two and a half stories?"

Li Qing didn't hide anything from Sha Chao's question and nodded naturally.

"It's alright, it's just hard-earned money, not as much as what my brother earns!"

The shop should be the two-and-a-half-story shop you mentioned; anyway, the second floor has a ceiling height of over seven meters.

"Bullshit, your two businesses may make a little money, but at least you can see the cash. I may make a lot, but if I can't see the money, it's all for nothing."

Holy crap, you've really ripped off that shop of yours.

"These are prime shops in Baihua New Town, located in the future heart of the new town, and they're even two-story shops equivalent to a three-story building."

Sha Chao kept staring at Li Qing, as if trying to read something from Li Qing's face.

"Hehehe, Brother Chao, you don't need to envy me. To be honest, you're not short of money either. We're the eldest brother, not the second brother, haha."

You'd better hurry up and find me a reliable construction team.

The construction work on my shop is quite extensive, and I need to find a reliable construction team, otherwise my business won't last long.

Urged by Li Qing, Sha Chao got up and went to his desk, taking a leather notebook out of the drawer.

He took his notebook and sat down opposite Li Qing again, opened the notebook, and started flipping through it.

"For this job, you really can't hire a farmer; you need to find a professional."

I know your shop, but you're planning to build a third floor inside the second floor.

Therefore, this requires the engineering team to have certain professional knowledge, and there aren't many people in our city who can do this kind of work.

They need to hire a construction engineer to calculate the load-bearing structure of your shop; otherwise, there will be significant potential problems later on.

Sha Chao kept flipping through the notebook, talking non-stop.

Li Qing listened attentively without interrupting him, simply waiting quietly by his side.

Sha Chao flipped through the notebook for a while, and finally stopped after a few minutes.

Having clearly found what he needed, he closed the notebook and put it aside, then looked up at Li Qing.

"I've found a suitable construction team. There aren't many that can do your job, but there are a few."

I have two options here; you can decide which one suits you best.

One is Gao Yan, a first-level construction engineer in our city. Even before the city was upgraded, he had a very good reputation for his first-level construction engineer skills and was highly professional.

In other people's eyes, your food is just a side dish to accompany porridge.

There are also drawbacks. As you know, the city is building a new urban area, and they are very busy, so they may not be able to spare the time.

If you have enough time and aren't in a rush, the Level 1 Construction Engineer exam is the best choice.

Secondly, there's Shuicheng Xingguang, a company from our superior city. This company has a strong background in the superior city and is highly professional.

This job is a piece of cake for them too; they'd just do it for you while they were having fun.

However, it also has its drawbacks. This company charges a bit more, claiming that as long as you pay extra, the speed is comparable to changing from a slow train to a high-speed train, and they don't mind if the job is small.

Ultimately, the choice is yours.

After listening attentively to Sha Chao's explanation, Li Qing began to think about it.
