After my divorce at thirty, I developed an intelligence network.

A short while later, his number was called.

The tray was brought out, overflowing with rice, with two thick, dark brown braised pork belly pieces lying on the side, accompanied by stir-fried cabbage shreds and half a braised egg.

The lemon tea had a straw inserted, and fine water droplets condensed on the cup's surface.

He broke apart the disposable chopsticks, first picking up a piece of shredded cabbage, crisp and slightly wok-fried. Then he took a bite of rice soaked in meat gravy—the grains were plump and perfectly cooked.

Enjoying the cool breeze from the air conditioner, I took a bite of meat, a bite of rice, and then sipped a slightly sweet, chilled lemon tea.

My body was dry, and my stomach was full and satisfied.

This simple comfort was almost a luxury during the recent hectic pace of life.

He ate slowly, and the mental calculations began to unfold again: the wages at the sports center were paid according to the schedule, and like today, he could occasionally spend more than twenty yuan to eat a clean and decent meal with air conditioning, without having to grit his teeth and calculate anymore.

But this thought was just a fleeting background noise during the meal.

He knew that this meager sense of dignity was as light as a feather in the face of a debt of over four million.

Its sole purpose is to mark a tiny scale.

From struggling to survive to moving to that small space where one can catch one's breath.

……

His mind raced,

Last night before I went to bed, I got an answer to my question about the intelligence system.

Please tell me how to go from spending every day waiting for odd jobs at the labor market to having stable employment with minimal cost and in the fastest time.

The question is: how to break free from the "working three days and resting two" mentality?

The result is in; there are three steps, and each step must be flawless.

[Step 1: Finish the last bit of work at the sports center flawlessly, without any mistakes. This is the prerequisite for everything else; if the work is done poorly, everything else is for nothing.]

Step Two: ...

[Step 3: Keep a record...]

Gong Yuelong stared at the result of his thinking and began to ponder it.

"Three steps... The first step is this final tremor today. If the foundation isn't solid, everything else will be castles in the air."

He stopped thinking about the second or third step and focused all his attention on the present.

The first step is to do the job perfectly, without making any mistakes.

He asked the system another question in his mind, this time very specifically:

[Where are the most likely places for things to go wrong as we wrap up today? How can we prevent them?]

The blue light flashed.

The check focused on: Today's closing risk points.

【result:】

1. The soil under the outriggers of the pump truck in the southeast corner has been softened by water; prolonged exposure to heavy vehicles could cause it to tip over, resulting in casualties.

[2. Pouring the last bit of concrete during the hottest part of the afternoon left cold joints, causing quality problems.]

3. The workers have been working for several days in a row, and their hands might be shaking when they finish finishing the dough. It would be best to have Cao Dayong lead the way.

"Understood." Gong Yuelong felt more confident, especially regarding the first point, which sent a chill down his spine.

If the pump truck really tipped over, it would be no laughing matter.

He got up, went to the construction site, found the beautiful construction worker Xiao Liu, and handed her a bottle of water.

"Oh, Mr. Gong? What brings you here today to personally inspect the site?"

Her eyes sparkled, and she said with a smile, "Seeing you so capable these past few days, I thought you were going to relinquish your responsibilities. Welcome, leader, to come and guide our work!"

After working together for a few days, she witnessed Gong Yuelong's well-organized management and admired him from the bottom of her heart.

Gong Yuelong was taken aback by her opening tone.

"Don't be so modest, Mr. Liu. It's not about being a 'general' or anything like that. I was just lying in bed last night thinking about it, and I still feel uneasy about this final battle."

Seeing it with my own eyes is better than anything else. That's why I'm here to report to our top technical leader on site. I'd like you to come and show us around, give us some pointers, and I'll feel much more at ease."

Hearing this, Xiao Liu smiled and put away her teasing tone.

"Alright, since you've put it that way, I'll have to play along. I was just planning to go through it all again anyway. Shall we start with the part you were most unrealistic about last night?"

"Okay." Gong Yuelong nodded, naturally turning to the side and gesturing for him to proceed.

While chatting, we arrived at the pump truck.

The pump truck was operating with a roar, and several workers were standing on one side.

Gong Yuelong paused, his gaze sweeping down to the area beneath the pump truck's massive outriggers, just as the system had warned him.

He didn't even have time to explain, he roared:

"Stop! Everyone stop! Don't move the pump truck! Everyone back up!"

The shout came extremely suddenly. The workers who were busy nearby were startled, instinctively stopped what they were doing, and looked over in confusion.

Xiao Liu was startled by his sudden shout, her first reaction was confusion, and even a hint of displeasure flashed through her mind—

Everything was proceeding smoothly on site, so was Gong Yuelong's sudden call to stop a bit of an overreaction?

"What's wrong? Here..." She didn't finish her sentence.

Gong Yuelong pointed to the right front outrigger of the pump truck.

"Engineer Liu! Look! This soil is loose! It's been soaked in water and is completely brittle! It can't support any weight at all!"

Xiao Liu then realized the situation and his heart sank.

She knew all too well what this meant.

A pump arm weighing tens of tons suddenly tilted due to the instability of its outriggers... The workers below, the equipment next to it... That would be a major safety accident!

Given the length and weight of this pump arm, the casualties will definitely be more than just a few!

The entire sports center project will immediately become the focus of the entire city, and in the most negative way!

Zhao is finished, and she, as the on-site construction worker, will definitely not escape responsibility either!

"Oh My God……"

If Gong Yuelong had arrived a few minutes later... she didn't even dare to think about the consequences!

"Hurry! Deal with it quickly!"

She looked at Gong Yuelong, her eyes full of trust.

"President Gong! What should we do? We must deal with this immediately! We absolutely cannot take any risks!"

She finally understood the weight of Gong Yuelong's roar just now.

That wasn't an overreaction, that was a life-saving scream!

Gong Yuelong had already stood up and quickly regained his composure and command.

The emergency was quickly resolved.

After finishing, Gong Yuelong looked at Xiao Liu, "Engineer Liu, things should be stable for now. Let's keep a close eye on this area when pumping today."

Looking at the man who had averted a major disaster, Xiao Liu felt a surge of emotions.

A mix of lingering fear, relief, and intense admiration lingered within me.

She nodded, her voice much softer than usual:

"Thanks to you, Master Gong. Really... thanks to your meticulousness. I need to report this to Manager Zhao later. You saved more than just a few people; you saved the entire project."

She meant it sincerely.

The potential tragedy that just happened has left her palms sweating.

Gong Yuelong waved his hand, not taking credit:

"It's all the duty. Only when everyone does their job properly can we feel at ease."

He knew in his heart that this first hurdle was thrilling, but he had overcome it beautifully.

Not only did they avert the biggest risk, but they also gained a key witness and the approval of a beautiful construction worker.
