"Qihang Construction is pretty good. I heard from my son that it is. It's from a big company."
A school director said.
After hearing this, Father Yu nodded even more appreciatively.
"Yes, Qihang Construction is one of the top five construction companies in Hong Kong."
From a professional perspective, Yu Wenyin said that Zhao Zitong was a good choice.
She also didn't expect that Zhao Zitong was really helping out this time.
It seems that just as Ma Dandan said, she is different after she "jumped off the building".
"Zi Tong, Wen Yin, thank you for your efforts in building the new school building for our alma mater."
Father Yu was also a little excited and nodded with a smile.
After pouring tea for everyone, Zhao Zitong changed the subject:
"But they said they would charge 230,000 yuan for the survey."
"And all of it must be settled in the next two days."
Hearing that it would cost such a large sum of money,
The old people on the school board looked at each other.
One of the school directors, Qian, asked Yu Wenyin:
"Wen Yin, is this geological survey necessary?"
"Yeah! That's a lot of money just to survey some kind of geology?"
Another school director also raised his own question:
"Can't you just design the blueprint?"
"No!" Yu Wenyin replied.
"Without geological survey, structural engineers have no way of knowing the bearing capacity of the foundation and the condition of the foundation."
“If the foundation type and bearing capacity are selected based on experience alone, it may cause safety problems or result in waste.”
"Geological survey data is also needed in the development application stage, construction drawing review, construction, and acceptance stages."
Yu Wenyin used her professional knowledge to explain to several school directors.
It seems that a top student from the Department of Architecture at the University of Hong Kong has explained it clearly to everyone.
The school directors confidently wrote Zhao Zitong a check for 230,000 yuan.
Zhao Zitong took the check and went to the bank without stopping.
I happened to meet Ma Dandan who works in a bank.
Zhao Zitong was a little surprised. Wasn't it Ma Dandan's turn to rest today
"Zitong, are you here to get the money?"
Zhao Zitong felt a little embarrassed and had to nod reluctantly.
"Didn't you say you wanted to take a rest today?" Zhao Zitong asked.
"How can it be so easy to take a holiday at a bank?"
"It just so happened that a colleague was sick, so the manager asked me to come back to cover for him."
Ma Dandan didn't notice Zhao Zitong's panic at all, instead she said enthusiastically:
"You want to withdraw money, I'll help you cut in line."
Before Zhao Zitong could stop her, Ma Dandan switched seats with the teller sitting at the window.
Ma Dandan took advantage of her position as a bank clerk and quickly gave Zhao Zitong a VIP number.
"Please deposit the 100,000 yuan from this check into the Qihang Real Estate account, and convert the remaining 130,000 yuan into cash."
Zhao Zitong can't care about so many things now.
Ma Dandan is so innocent that she should not be able to see any trick.
Ma Dandan was a little surprised when she heard Zi Tong's words.
She didn't know where Zitong got so much money.
I couldn't help but take a second look at the check. It said "St. Ann's School" on it.
After Zhao Zitong got the money, the first thing she did was go to the Hong Kong Sa Sa cosmetics chain store.
Bought several suitcases of cosmetics and some well-known medicines.
These boxes are very heavy.
In order to save money, Zhao Zitong rented a place on the sixth floor.
Sadly, this old building doesn't have an elevator.
Zhao Zitong had no choice but to drag several large suitcases and move them up to the sixth floor one by one.
By the time she had finished moving all five large boxes, her hands and feet were numb and she was sweating profusely.
My feet seemed to be out of control and stood there stiffly.
After moving the last big box, Zhao Zitong was just about to take a breath.
Then I saw Yu Wenyin and Ma Dandan getting out of a taxi.
Yu Wenyin was furious and Ma Dandan looked apologetic.
"Zhao Zitong!"
Yu Wenyin was very angry. Seeing Zhao Zitong dragging a suitcase, she thought she was going to run away.
He walked up quickly and pulled the suitcase.
The suitcase's zipper wasn't closed to begin with, and it was pulled open in an instant.
The bottles of cosmetics inside rolled down the stairs.
After opening Zhao Zitong's suitcase, Yu Wenyin didn't say sorry, but pointed at the cosmetics that rolled all over the floor and cursed:
"Zhao Zitong, you really go too far!"
"You actually used the school's money to buy these cosmetics?"
Facing Wen Yin's anger, Zhao Zitong had no time to explain.
She was only busy picking up the cosmetics that were scattered on the ground.
These are the goods she wants to make money from, so they can’t be broken.
"Hey! Zhao Zitong, are you listening to me?"
Yu Wenyin became even angrier when she saw Zhao Zitong ignoring her.
He kicked the bottle of lotion on the ground directly.
"Bang..."
The glass bottle of lotion hit the wall and broke.
"If you have anything to say, please talk it over nicely."
Ma Dandan quickly helped Zhao Zitong put away the remaining bottles and jars.
He then advised Yu Wenyin.
"What are you talking about? Ask Zhao Zitong what he did?"
Yu Wenyin grabbed Zhao Zitong's hand, her face flushed with anger;
"You cheated the school's preparatory committee out of money, didn't you?"
"Come on, I'll take you to see the priest!"
Zhao Zitong shook off Yu Wenyin's hand:
"That's not the case, Wen Yin, please listen to my explanation."
He glared at Ma Dandan again, saying she was so careless with her mouth!
"No, not what?"
Yu Wenyin couldn't have imagined that when the time came, Zhao Zitong would still want to make excuses.
She pulled Zhao Zitong's hand downstairs, pointed at Ma Dandan and asked her:
"Dandan saw you take the check from the St. Ann's Middle School Preparatory Committee to the bank."
"I heard with my own ears that you deposited 100,000 yuan into the account of Qihang Construction."
"And when I was having lunch with you at noon, I heard you say it was 230,000!"
"And where did the 130,000 go?"
"Did you swallow it?"
The tone of Yu Wenyin's last sentence is an exclamation rather than a question.
"Yes! I took 130,000!"
Zhao Zitong pulled Yu Wenyin's hand away with force, trying to make Yu Wenyin calm down and listen to her.
"Zitong, you really took the 130,000!"
"Are you crazy? You are breaking the law and you will go to jail!"
Ma Dandan exclaimed before Zhao Zitong finished speaking.
"It's not what you think. The survey fee is indeed 230,000!"
"I just had a time difference with the organizing committee!"
"This isn't even a lie! I'm just borrowing it temporarily!"
"Once I sell this batch of cosmetics to those smugglers in Shenzhen, I will immediately pay the remaining balance to Qihang Construction!"
Seeing that Zhao Zitong was still so confident, she didn’t feel that she had done anything wrong at all!
They also said they wanted to ship cosmetics from Hong Kong through customs to smugglers in Shenzhen.
Isn't that smuggling
What Yu Wenyin hates most in her life is corruption and smuggling!
Not only did his good friend embezzle the school board's funds, he also smuggled cosmetics!
Yu Wenyin shook off Zhao Zitong's hand, looked at her for a few seconds, then turned around and left.
Zhao Zitong felt uneasy when Yu Wenyin looked at her.
She knew that her good friend was rigid and principled, and would not let her off easily.
She didn't have time to think and hurried after him.
As soon as I reached the door, I saw Yu Wenyin hailing a taxi and leaving.
Zhao Zitong didn't even think twice and rushed to the taxi, stopping it and not letting Yu Wenyin leave.
"Damn your mother! You don't want to live anymore!"
"Stay away!"
The taxi driver slammed the brakes, rolled down the window, and cursed at Zhao Zitong!
