After obtaining the approval procedures, Cheng Qiaobei spent his days shuttling between the construction site and his residence, thus, contact with Chen Ningxi also waned.
Not until the completion of the project, when it was time for the electric power department to send someone for inspection, did Cheng Qiaobei gaze at the engineering vehicle parked at the hotel entrance, actually hoping that Chen Ningxi would emerge from within. Instead, three or four burly men stepped out.
After the inspection was deemed satisfactory and escorting the inspectors to the entrance, Cheng Qiaobei nonchalantly inquired: "Has Mr. Chen been busy recently?"
One of the inspectors replied: "We're from two different departments; she works in the office while we do field maintenance and inspections, so we don't see each other often. But, she must be quite busy; that position doesn't allow for leisure. Huh? You know our Mr. Chen?"
Cheng Qiaobei smiled, "We've met, but I wouldn't say we're very familiar."
