Xia Yunhan chatted with Qiao Yu for a long time that day, about the Xingshui Bridge project.

The design of the glass suspension bridge is very unique. When Qiao Yu saw the blueprint for the first time, he could tell where the design came from.

A few years ago, a glass suspension bridge in Tanxi Mountain, a well-known scenic spot in China, won the IBC (International Bridge Conference) award.

After the bridge was completed, it became a veritable Internet celebrity bridge. After winning the award, it was imitated by many scenic spots in China, but so far no other bridge of the same type has been born. Conditions, the ingenious design of the glass suspension bridge in Tanxi Mountain is also based on the unique environment. Without this foundation, it is impossible to realize the design alone.

However, the Xingshui Bridge completely copied this design. Although the details have been changed, the main construction form of the bridge still uses the form of a cable-stayed bridge without back cables. Qiao Yu has not been to the site, but he has roughly studied the early stage According to the report of the Institute of Geological Survey, the terrain environment and soil type there are not suitable for the construction of such a cable-stayed bridge without back cables, and there may be risks after forced construction.

Glass bridges, in particular, tend to run under load for a long time during the peak tourist season, coupled with the proximity of large waterfalls, wind, water erosion, etc., are all risk factors that must be considered in the construction of this bridge. Neither the research report nor the later design and construction drawings were mentioned.

Although in the study room that night, Qiao Yu told Xia Xiaoli that there was a "small problem", but in fact he thought it was a very serious big problem. In recent years, there have been many accidents on glass trestle bridges around the world, and some of them were due to cutting corners during construction. , the quality is unqualified, and some have problems at the beginning of the design, and the follow-up maintenance cannot keep up.

Qiao Yu attached great importance to the Xingshui Glass Suspension Bridge. Even if it was not commissioned by Xia Xiaoli's father, if he knew that there was a problem with such a bridge, he would not just sit idly by.

But he is currently unable to handle this matter in any capacity, just because he has not officially joined the Hongda School of Construction Engineering and Design Institute, and officially does not have any formal status.Xia Yunhan hired him as a "consultant expert", these titles are false, no matter how "professional" he is, the other party's local design institute, as a design unit with all procedures compliant, will not listen to his explanation.

He had to ask his future institute leader for help, and hoped that Hongda Design Institute could come forward and re-evaluate the construction feasibility of this bridge in the official name.

The dean of the Design Institute is also the dean of the School of Construction Engineering. Zhou Yishen, a senior industry leader in his fifties, was on summer vacation. Qiao Yu brought the materials to visit Dean Zhou's home and explained what happened. Therefore, Dean Zhou immediately studied with him in the study, and finally came to the same conclusion. Based on these materials, the Xingshui Bridge did have an unreasonable design.

However, they still need to go to the site to confirm the facts. As for the evaluation report issued by the Hongda Design Institute, they have to wait for the site survey.

When he persuaded Qiao Yu to return to China, this dean Zhou was also one of the main lobbyists. He and Qiao Yu's parents were colleagues and peers. He almost watched Qiao Yu grow up, and it was no different from his own son. Zhou Yishen was one of the happiest people who decided to return to China and joined his court again. His goal was also very clear, which was to train Qiao Yu as his successor.

This will see the project brought by Qiao Yu. After Zhou Yishen exchanged views with him, Qiao Yu offered to go to Xingshui to do research. He will also be responsible for this evaluation report, but it will take trouble at that time. Dean Zhou submitted it to the Provincial Department of Communications in the name of the Design Institute.

Zhou Yishen immediately said that there was no problem, and said: "Originally, you will join the job next month, and it will be more convenient to do these things at that time, and the time difference is less than ten days."

Qiao Yu said: "Uncle Xia was in a hurry when he came to me. There is a problem with this project. He has been under pressure in Xingshui for a while without construction. If there is no new evaluation report, he will probably be there soon. I can't stop, I have to hurry up on this matter."

"That's fine, Xiao Qiao, how about I send you two assistants? Both are interns in the college, and they are also high-achieving students in our bridge engineering department. One is ready to be sent to you as an assistant after you enter the job." " Zhou Yishen said while supporting the frame of his glasses.

Qiao Yu thought about it, this matter is rather urgent, and bringing a newcomer who hasn't gotten used to it may delay the work, so she said: "Why don't you make this trip, I can do it alone, and there are people from Uncle Xia's company who can help me. They are also more familiar with the project situation, the new assistant should wait until I join the job and bring him in?"

Zhou Yishen nodded and reminded him to pay attention to safety. There are deep mountains and grand canyons over there, so take protective measures.

"Don't worry, you have all the tough and brutal equipment for this job." Qiao Yu said.

Dean Zhou's home is in the same neighborhood as Qiao Yu's parents' home. After coming out, Qiao Yu went home to have dinner with his parents, and also said that he would go out to see a project soon.

Hearing the name of the Xia family, the two professors of the Qiao family looked at each other and asked if this was a project of your girlfriend's father, so you should be more considerate and help them.

Qiao Yu was eating with his head down, when he heard the word "girlfriend", he suddenly remembered that he hadn't told his family yet, and silently thought about how to open his mouth, so that this love and breakup, which was as short as lightning, passed by his parents smoothly .

After he finished his meal, he put down the bowl and chopsticks, and said casually: "Well, Dad, Mom, I got along with Xiaoberry, and I think it's more suitable to be friends, so I decided to retreat to friendship."

"Huh?" Old Professor Qiao was still drinking the soup, put down the bowl, hesitated and said, "Is that so, Xiaoyu, this is what you guys discussed? Isn't it too hasty?"

Professor Su on the side opened his eyes with a smile: "I said that this girl is not suitable for you. You still didn't believe me when I told you. How about it, mom's eyes are still right? It's okay, mom will find you again soon, This time it will be right."

"Don't stop," Qiao Yu said hastily, "I'm going to get busy here soon, let me straighten out my work first, and we'll talk about the relationship later."

When it comes to work, Old Professor Qiao supports him, comforts his wife and says, "Xiao Yu is right, let's not be too hasty, he has just returned to China, and needs to make some achievements to show to the leaders of the school and the courtyard. The matter is the most important thing now, and Dean Zhou will entrust him with a heavy responsibility."

"Oh, that's fine, both of you, father and son, have been working hard. If you ask me, although work is important, getting a family is the most important thing in life..." Mentioning the name of Dean Zhou, Professor Su couldn't help but think about it. Standing up to clean up the dishes, Qiao Yu listened to the order, helped clean up, and even took the initiative to wash the dishes.

Back in his apartment, Qiao Yu called Xia Yunhan, told Dean Zhou's support, and asked when he could go to Xingshui for on-site investigation at the soonest.

Based on his usual work efficiency, he said that the survey and assessment report would be completed within a week.

Xia Yunhan was very grateful on the other end of the phone, and said: "I will go back to the company immediately to issue a formal expert employment contract, and hire Hongda Design Institute as the evaluation expert unit for this time, so that all procedures are legal, so as not to be followed Xingshui's local design institute has a gossip, so let me arrange it, how about you go to the scene with me early in the morning the day after tomorrow?"

"Okay, I'm fine." Qiao Yu said.

At this time, he heard Xia Xiaoli's voice from the microphone, and Xia Xiaoli attached to her father's shoulder and called to the phone: "Brother Qiao, are you going to go out of town with my father the day after tomorrow?"

"Yeah, things are urgent, the sooner the better." Qiao Yu said.

"Oh, then can I come to see you tomorrow? Are you at home tomorrow?" Xia Xiaoli asked.

Qiao Yu thought for a while and said, "Tomorrow afternoon?" He set aside time in the morning to go to Dean Zhou's side with Xia Yunhan to complete all the procedures.

"Okay! I'll come tomorrow afternoon!" Xia Xiaoli got a confirmation reply, and leaning on her father's shoulder, she jumped up like a little monkey. Xia Yunhan patted him a few times, and laughed and said that he didn't look like a human being.

Listening to the noisy laughter on the phone, Qiao Yu couldn't help laughing too.
