Lu Yao also had this idea, but it was already troublesome for Director Zhao to give her the test papers, so she couldn't make any more requests.
Moreover, everyone knows how rare the test papers are at this time. If something goes wrong along the way and someone finds out, Director Zhao may be implicated.
Just as she was hesitating, Duan Mingjie next to her said, "Grandma Yue, my sister's grades are very good, and she has just graduated, which is a great advantage for her. It doesn't matter whether she has this paper or not."
The old lady knew their concerns, "Don't worry, it's just a test paper. Wen Ji said that many people with channels in the capital have obtained the test paper. It won't affect him if you send it back."
Hearing what the old lady said, Lu Yao and Duan Mingjie felt relieved.
In the afternoon, Lu Yao was doing test papers at home, and Duan Mingjie went to work at the construction site.
At around three o'clock, Zheng Jiajia came over.
Speaking of which, Zheng Jiajia hasn't been here for half a month. This time she came to deliver test papers to her.
"Yao Yao, this is the test paper that my third uncle got from someone. He printed five copies. These three copies are for you. You can keep one copy and send the remaining two copies back to Mingming."
In one day, Lu Yao received two test papers and felt that she was pleasantly surprised.
"Thank you Uncle Zheng for me."
"Oh, it's okay. Third uncle originally wanted to deliver it to you in person. There was something going on with the army, and he was afraid that it would delay your review time, so he asked me to deliver it to you."
Lu Yao smiled and said, "It doesn't matter who gives it to me, how is Uncle Zheng doing lately?"
"I went to Chen City half a month ago. I seemed much happier when I came back than before."
What she didn't tell Lu Yao was that Dong Niannian had blocked a shot for her third uncle in Chen City. Third uncle and Dong Niannian had become much closer, and they got along more like father and daughter.
Zheng Jiajia feels sick every day when she sees Dong Niannian acting coquettishly. Fortunately, she is reviewing every day now. She hardly goes downstairs except for eating.
Out of sight out of mind!
Lu Yao nodded, "That's good."
Zheng Jiajia didn't stay long before going back.
Lu Yao first went to send the two test papers she gave to Duan Mingming, and then continued working on the papers when she came back.
After dinner, Duan Mingjie told Lu Yao something.
"Daughter-in-law, I heard that the government wants to build a high school."
Lu Yao was not surprised when she heard the news.
In previous years, many students finished junior high school and were able to work when they were old enough. Knowing that there was no way out after high school, their families would let their children drop out of school in order to supplement the family income.
But now that the college entrance examination has resumed, there will definitely be many high school students.
"This afternoon I went out to send test papers to Mingming and I heard that many parents were asking their children to return to school. I guess the school is running out of resources."
Building a high school, complete with desks, chairs, and educational equipment, takes not less than a year from preparation to students entering the campus.
The government is also building schools in advance for the sake of the future.
Duan Mingjie frowned and said disapprovingly, "Why did you send it to Mingming? You can't finish so many papers in one afternoon."
Lu Yao took Duan Mingjie's hand and said, "Jiajia gave it to me."
Lu Yao told the story once, and Duan Mingjie pursed his lips, "Uncle Zheng is so kind to us, and we have nothing to repay him."
The Zheng family gets whatever they want, and it's not their turn to help.
"We will repay him when we have the opportunity in the future," Lu Yao looked at him, "When you told me about building a school, did you have any ideas?"
Duan Mingjie nodded, "Daughter-in-law, I want to take over this project."
Lu Yao blinked, "Isn't this a government project?"
"It's done by the government, but it also needs contractors. In the afternoon, I heard from Brother Li that the government is looking for contractors, but no one is willing to take it yet."
"Is it because there is little money?"
"The money given is quite a lot, ten yuan per square meter, and the school is expected to occupy an area of 50,000 square meters. In addition, it is a building, and the upstairs area also counts. The official said it is 60,000 square meters."
Lu Yao calculated in her mind and was very surprised, "Six hundred thousand?!"
Duan Mingjie nodded, "Yes, 600,000 yuan, but this 600,000 yuan is not only for building a house, but also for greening the campus. Yes, greening is to make the school environment better. Fortunately, the material cost is not enough. The government is responsible for it, I just need to ask people to build the campus to meet their requirements.”
Lu Yao bit her lip. This is such a hot cake. She should be squeezed to death. How could no one be willing to do it?
Lu Yao asked uncertainly, "Did you hear it wrong?"
She thought it was impossible.
"I heard it right, Brother Li told me personally."
"Why?"
This is six hundred thousand.
Duan Mingjie made a calculation for her, "To build a school within a year, you first need manpower. It will be difficult to complete without a thousand people."
"A person is calculated as 30 cents a day, which is 90,000 yuan for 300 days. It is not a small amount of money to eat for so many people. Local people can go home to live, but for those from other places, we have to find a place for them to live. This is also a sum of money. Money, and this does not include the salary increase that will be raised midway. Add up all the miscellaneous things, and two hundred thousand is a small amount. What I fear most is the delay. If it is not completed within the date they set, the money will be deducted. The longer the delay, the more money will be deducted. many."
Lu Yao: "Then will the 600,000 be given before building the house, or after passing the inspection?"
"The government will allocate 100,000 yuan first, and another 100,000 yuan will be allocated during the summer vacation next year. The rest will be given after passing the inspection and acceptance."
Now Lu Yao understood why no one was willing to take this hot cake.
In other words, they most likely only have 200,000 yuan, and of this 200,000 yuan, they will also have to pay wages to workers and other expenses. If they cannot complete the work on time, or if the completion is not up to standard, they will be kicked back. The project will fall into their hands. Either you continue to work until the government is satisfied, but you have to pay for the work yourself, and the project payment you will receive after completion will be reduced, or you give up and the government will find someone to do it. In this case, the balance will be paid. If you can't get it, it's equivalent to wasting a year in vain.
Lu Yao looked at him intently, "Have you thought about it?"
Duan Mingjie nodded with firm eyes, "Daughter-in-law, I want to take a gamble, but I am definitely not impulsive. It may be difficult the first time, but if I do it well this time, next time the government has another project, it will be given priority. Think of me, I will also have a strong team of workers.”
Lu Yao frowned, "A thousand workers are not that easy to find."
"I have already thought of a countermeasure. I will first go to the village chief to see if he can recruit some people for me, as well as the folks from Duanjia Village. Food and accommodation are included for 30 cents a day. I believe many people will be willing to come. "
Duanjia Village has a lot of labor force. Almost all those in their thirties have not gone to school. They have no chance to go to college. Some are old and some are young. They need opportunities to make money.
Some even bring relatives.
"I plan to call Feng Wei over. He will definitely be able to bring a lot of people."
In this way, there are now three to four hundred people. As long as their wages are stable, more people will definitely come.
Seeing that he was not in a hot head, Lu Yao held his hand and said, "Now that you have thought about it, let's do it."
No matter what the outcome is, she will always be with him.
