My Wife is Actually a top-tier Soldier King?!-Chapter 1157 - 1071: You have to pay the price for messing around sooner or later!
Good news has arrived.
Wu Jie has been closely following two major projects, both of which have made significant progress.
The West Mountain Expressway in Du Shi City, with an investment of over 50 billion yuan, has seen the SC-01 and 02 sections from Jiahuan City to Anping County completed ahead of schedule.
These two sections span 78 kilometers, feature a dual carriageway with six lanes in each direction, and are equipped with a service area and two interchange hubs.
The reason they were able to be completed significantly ahead of schedule is due to sufficient funding, round-the-clock construction by many participating units, as well as the fact that these two sections lie on plains and low hills, with relatively flat terrain.
Once the transport department completes its inspection, this 78-kilometer stretch can be opened for trial operation free of charge, providing convenience for residents along the route, and truly fulfilling Wu Jie’s initial promise to make this poverty alleviation expressway worthy of its name.
As for the other sections, they are also making rapid progress.
The controlling project of the entire line is the Heyu Mountain Tunnel, which is actually just six kilometers long.
After all, railway tunnels that stretch for tens of kilometers, high-altitude tunnels at elevations of three to four thousand meters, and nearly thirty-kilometer-long continuous tunnel groups... All of these have been conquered by what is known as ’Infrastructure Maniac’ of Liuli Continent.
What’s so difficult about a mere six-kilometer-long tunnel?
To accelerate the schedule, this well-funded project not only adopted bidirectional excavation but also set up two pairs of vertical and inclined shafts.
The slogan put forth was to work hard for a hundred days to fully complete the twin tunnels.
Additionally, another large bridge crossing a river is under construction; the two 210-meter-high bridge towers have been capped, and the main bridge cables have been installed. Soon, the installation of the steel truss beams and the bridge deck will commence.
As for the other sections, with the cutting through mountains and filling in valleys, and building bridges over rivers, as long as the funding is in place, where could there be a lack of speed?
Given the current pace, it’s estimated that by next June at the earliest, the entire expressway will definitely be open to traffic.
By comparison,
the progress of the Great Tang Science Research City cannot speed up anymore.
This is because all the infrastructure projects have been completed, and what follows are various meticulous tasks such as interior decoration, equipment installation, and network integration, all necessary for conducting scientific research, certainly requiring utmost caution and attention to detail.
Especially for some high-end large-scale experimental equipment, which itself requires a very special installation and operational environment, constant temperature and humidity, dust-free and static-free, of course, it can’t just be put in any building and be done with it.
Even building garden villas and high-rise apartments with elevators for the researchers takes time to furnish and decorate. How can people live in simple unfinished rooms?
Thus, in the Science Research City side, Chu Yunxuan happily reports that the Science Research City airport is now officially open for operation.
This private airport of the conglomerate is managed by Tanglong Airlines of Liuli Continent.
The company operates several multi-purpose helicopters, tasked with patrolling the expressway, emergency rescue, and other missions, while also undertaking external leasing tasks such as aerial photography, sightseeing tours, wedding transportations, and the like.
Moreover, the corporate jet previously belonging to the group’s logistics department, as well as related personnel, have also been transferred to this company.
Once Tanglong Airlines develops and produces its own aircraft, this airport will be able to conduct various flight tests.
...
After reading Chu Yunxuan’s good news, Wu Jie suddenly feels that he has not misjudged her.
Entrusting Chu Yunxuan with the coordination of two mega-projects seems even more reliable than giving them to anyone else.
At her level, with great power, and a high salary, why would there be any need to engage in abuse of power, embezzlement, or bribery?
Money, to her, has already become meaningless.
It’s just like earlier on, when Tang Xiao gave her one billion yuan as compensation.
The result...
She really didn’t even know how to spend it.
She also once whimsically proposed spending a billion yuan for Wu Jie to accompany her, this simple and crazy-in-love girl is, of course, extremely serious and responsible in her work.
Both projects are progressing smoothly and will soon be completed one after another.
So what should Chu Yunxuan do in the future?
After the expressway from Jiahuan City to Mountain City is opened to traffic, there is basically not much to do during normal operations, at most some maintenance and ensuring traffic flow during holiday peaks, handling accidents, etc.
But there’s no need for Chu Yunxuan to deal with these personally – otherwise, what are the employees for?
So...
Continue to invest and build expressways elsewhere? It seems that’s not very interesting either.
Wu Jie understands Chu Yunxuan. This enchantress, judging by her appearance and figure, might lead many to misjudge her as a talentless trophy wife, good-looking but useless.
In fact, Chu Yunxuan’s ambition is substantial. She is always eager to become a career-driven powerful woman and certainly doesn’t want to be too far behind Tang Xiao.
If Wu Jie lets her continue managing projects, Chu Yunxuan would definitely not object, but doing so would indeed be a bit of a waste of her talents.
"Science Research City will wrap up next month, and the expressway will be completed in at most six months!"
"What job should I arrange for this troublesome enchantress?"
Wu Jie is really somewhat troubled.
After confirming Chu Yunxuan’s hard work, Wu Jie exits the chat window.
He sees several unread messages from Xu Feng and casually opens one...
"Wow! Isn’t this the C17 strategic transport aircraft? A state treasure worth several hundred million Gold Coins! Tsk tsk, to think it’s been shot down and crash-landed like this!"
Just as Wu Jie finishes muttering, Tang Xiao comes over, swinging her arms and smiling.
"Jie, what are you looking at?"
"Xu Feng sent me a video, take a look!"
Wu Jie hands her the phone.
"This is Baldet airport, oh my gosh, such intense shelling, what’s going on? Are they trying to level the town of Baldet to the ground?"
Tang Xiao immediately turns and waves over Qian Le.
Qian Le runs over with quick steps and salutes.
