Chapter 609: Misjudging People
Just a few hours had passed, and the seasoned worker had already become familiar with what the project was all about. His eyes were filled with utter surprise, and he admired how a young person could come up with such an idea, which was quite impressive. Moreover, he had already managed to create the framework; it just needed further beautification.
Since the cache was not enough, it could be dismantled, a decision that earned even more praise from the seasoned worker. After arriving, he briefly checked the location.
After a quick look around, he noticed a seat that was unoccupied and immediately went to ask Zhang Tao about it, but not in an overt manner, since there were still people around. He had no choice but to pretend to ask casually:
"Whose place is this? Why haven’t they come to work today? The project is so urgent recently; being a person short isn’t good. You need to get on top of this."
After he spoke, Zhang Tao, feeling a bit embarrassed, scratched his head and replied, "This is Shi Jia’s seat. I don’t know what’s going on with her; she’s been distracted lately and took a sick leave today, saying she wasn’t feeling well and needed to rest. You know, women have those days. I figured let her go; it’s a health issue.
You can’t force someone to stay here. What if something happens in the middle? She just went back. Don’t worry, when she returns, I will make sure to discuss it with everyone. Leaves are not allowed unless absolutely necessary, so we can finish this project faster."
"Mr. Shen, I really am so thankful for you this time. If you hadn’t sent this experienced worker over, we probably wouldn’t have made such quick progress into the project. In the coming days, I might need to seclude myself for intense learning, but wherever needed, I will do my utmost to accomplish this and strive to achieve the best possible outcome.
Then together, we can earn this sum of money. I have thought about this for a long time, and now seeing this plan succeed step by step, I feel incredibly proud inside. It feels like my dreams are advancing step by step. I’m not sure if you can truly understand how I feel, Mr. Shen. You probably can’t relate much, given your numerous successes.
You’re already a man at the top, a successful figure. I am so envious of you. I dream that one day I will be as successful as you, perhaps then a young person will hold the same hope about me, which would be quite nice. I will step by step move towards my goal."
"Mr. Shen, thank you for believing in me and giving me this opportunity to create. This gratitude in my heart is like that of a great steed finding a noble lord," Zhang Tao said, nearly tearful; after all, his family hadn’t trusted him much over the years, always holding him back, but Shen Dong was different.
