Tranxending Vision - Chapter 89

Chapter 89

Beautiful Leg Attack

Early the next morning, Xia Lei and Liang Si-Yao went to plot number thirteen after breakfast . In the car, Liang Si-Yao phoned to call the workers she had recruited from technical schools to gather .

"Si-Yao, our machining plant has not been built yet . Why are you telling them to gather?" said Xia Lei .

"They are your employees so you'll have to meet them, of course . And, there should be a building plan for the machining plant, right? It'll cost us money to get a design company to do it for us . The workers have nothing to do anyway . Let them come up with a building plan and we can save on costs . "

Xia Lei laughed, "They're Science and Engineering students, not Architecture . Can they design a blueprint for a machining plant?"

"They definitely can't do anything too complicated but we're not asking for much . According to our company's nature, I feel we'll only need workshops, dormitories, a canteen and an office building . These are all simple constructions . I think they can do it," said Liang Si-Yao .

Xia Lei thought for a bit and said, "I actually have an idea I've been thinking about for a while and that's to not build a brick structure; it would take too long to build . We can use new building materials to build the the office and dormitories, and steel and galvanised iron sheets for the workshops . The construction won't take over a month if we do this . "

Liang Si-Yao smiled as she said, "So you already have a plan . We're on the same page then . Let's do it like you said and have everything built as quickly as possible . "

They talked and chatted and arrived at plot number thirteen before they knew it .

Xia Lei saw over ten youths before he got out of the car . The group consisted of boys and girls and several electric scooters were parked next to them . It looked like they had come on those electric scooters . In the city, electric scooters would always manage to reach their destination before a car would .

"Are they the students you recruited from the technical institute?" asked Xia Lei .

"Mm . They are all the latest graduating students and classmates . It'll be very lively to have them all working together," said Liang Si-Yao .

"Let's go take a look . " Xia Lei alighted and walked over to the group of youths with Liang Si-Yao .

Someone spotted Xia Lei and Liang Si-Yao and said, "Big Sister Liang is here . "

The group of youths stopped their chatter and came forward . They greeted Liang Si-Yao one by one and were all very amiable . Some made to greet Xia Lei too but gave up because they didn't know who he was . Quite a few were also quietly looking Xia Lei up and down, trying to guess his identity .

"Friends, let me introduce you . This man next to me is Thunder Horse Manufacturing's Chairman, Chairman Xia Lei . Our Chairman Xia is also the best machinist and welding engineer in our country . He can use normal lathes to process high precision parts which could only be imported from Europe and America otherwise . He is unparalleled in this in China . "

The youths were excited upon hearing that and called out 'Chairman! Chairman!' over and over . They did not hide their adoration for him and they all behaved like they were meeting a celebrity .

"Wow, our Chairman Xia is so young and handsome!" A girl said quietly to her friend .

"Manual processing for high precision parts? Holy shit, that's bomb . I wish I could be as amazing as Chairman Xia," said a guy .

Xia Lei did not seem outwardly moved by their words and he smiled as he greeted them, shaking hands one by one .

Xia Lei knew well that one of the reasons these people were willing to join the yet-to-be-constructed Thunder Horse Manufacturing because of their admiration for his skill . Another reason could possibly have been Liang Si-Yao's beauty . Many young men were willing to go to work at a company because they could see their goddess there .

"When do we officially start work, Chairman Xia?" A bookish, bespectacled girl stood in front of Xia Lei . She looked a little nervous and her pale face had a faint blush .

"After a month, at most . We gathered you all today to get you involved in the construction process . I would like you guys to design a blueprint for the workshop . Can you guys do it?" said Xia Lei .

"We're…" The bespectacled girl looked like she was about to say 'We're Science and Engineering students' but she did not say it in the end .

The others also shut their mouths and didn't dare to speak out .

Xia Lei smiled as he said, "I know what you guys studied but machine design and the construction industry is not that different . We are constructing a building for manufacturing machinery and parts processing and we don't need complex building designs like those in the chemical industries . We only need a simple workshop, dormitories, office building and canteen . I plan to use new building materials and galvanised iron sheets . I believe you guys can do it . "

Liang Si-Yao added, "You guys will also be doing paperwork in the office building and live in the dormitories . Don't you want to be able to design your own office and dormitories?"

The bespectacled girl gathered her courage and said, "I'll try . "

"I'm in too," came a wave of agreement .

Xia Lei looked at the bookish, bespectacled girl and asked kindly, "What's your name?"

"I'm Guan Ling-Shan," said the bespectacled girl . She seemed to be perpetually shy for some reason .

"You'll be in charge of this matter, then," said Xia Lei .

"Me?" Guan Ling-Shan's small mouth gaped open unbelievingly .

"Yes, you . Do you have confidence that you'll do well?" said Xia Lei .

Guan Ling-Shan nodded her head hard, "Yes, Chairman Xia, I'll definitely do this well . "

Xia Lei looked at a boy next and smiled, "What's your name? What are you good at?"

The boy was rather spritely and smiled as he said, "My name's Yin Hao, Chairman Xia . I'm good at electrical design . "

"Not bad . The company will make use of your speciality in the future and you will have your chance to show your skill," said Xia Lei .

Yin Hao nodded, "Thank you, Chairman Xia . "

Xia Lei went one by one and asked for their names and specialities . He was nice and easy-going – not like a traditional boss at all .

After chatting for a bit with the last youth named Han Bo, Xia Lei spoke again, "I believe you guys can see that I am not that much older than you . We are a very young group and our company is also an up-and-coming company . Believe in me and believe in yourselves . We will surely build a large enterprise on this piece of land!"

Smiles were on the faces of the youths and their eyes were also full of hope and expectation .

Indeed, the ragtag group of Thunder Horse Manufacturing employees before him most probably did not have an average age above 24 . This was a very young group and it was full of youthful vigor and energy, as well as passion and enthusiasm for the future . Nobody could predict what sort of enterprise Xia Lei would build with this young group but their future was one which carried a lot of expectations .

"Chairman Xia, I'll look for measuring tools to measure our land now, then start drawing up the designs . I'll hand it in to you after three days . " Guan Ling-Shan looked eager to begin .

"Sure . Feel free to give me a call if you need anything," said Xia Lei .

"We'll go help too," said Yin Hao .

"Go, go," said Xia Lei .

The youths left on their electric scooters .

They were all fresh graduates and full of anticipation for the future . Xia Lei had given them an avenue to show off their creativity and a lot of room for imagination and that was enough for them . They did not care that Xia Lei drove a 10,000-something yuan local-made car and didn't mind that they temporarily had just 500 a month in living expenses . Only young fresh graduates like them who haven't entered society yet would be like this . If they were old hands who'd been in the workplace for years, they wouldn't even so much as look at a small company like Thunder Horse Manufacturing and even if they joined, they would have requirements for this and that .

Xia Lei watched the youths ride off on their electric scooters and sighed with feeling, "They're great . "

"I deliberately avoided going to recruitment companies to find the people we needed . Those people only think of the best profit margin for themselves and not for the company . These fresh graduates may have no experience but who has work experience from the get go? Giving them a chance is also giving ourselves a chance," said Liang Si-Yao .

Xia Lei smiled, "Well said . Thank you for all that you've done . "

"Just a line of thanks?" Liang Si-Yao looked playfully at Xia Lei, "You need to show me your thanks too, y'know?"

"What would you like?" asked Xia Lei .

"Let's first go to the building materials company and order our materials . You can invite me to your home later and treat me to a nice meal, okay?" said Liang Si-Yao . She wanted very much to see what Xia Lei's flat was like . She'd been interrupted by Jiang Ru-Yi the last time – she wanted a personal invitation from Xia Lei this time .

Xia Lei laughed, "What's up with that? Sure, let's do this . We'll go to the building materials company first . "

"Mm, then to the supermarket to get groceries . I want to eat your sweet-sour pork ribs, honeyed corn, fish and eggplants… Oh, and seafood . " Liang Si-Yao had already started ordering dishes .

Xia Lei smiled wryly, "Aren't you afraid of getting fat after eating so much?"

Liang Si-Yao shrugged, "Why are your dishes so delicious then?"

"Fine, fine, I'll cook whatever you want . Satisfied now?" Xia Lei turned and walked towards the roadside .

Liang Si-Yao suddenly swung her hand in a slap at the back of Xia Lei's neck .

Feeling a breeze at the back of his neck, Xia Lei moved forward and dodged Liang Si-Yao's sneak attack just in time .

Liang Si-Yao took a step forward and her white, jade-like leg flashed from under her short skirt, executing a kick aimed at Xia Lei's crotch .

Xia Lei pulled his knees together and pressed them to the centre, trapping Liang Si-Yao's beautiful leg .

Liang Si-Yao tried to pull her leg out but couldn't . Her pale calf, pale thigh and black lace side-tie panties were visible under her short office skirt; this position was as sexy as it got .

A man with his legs together and a woman with her leg extended in a kick – this made for a peculiar yet titillating scene .

Xia Lei's vision was normal but the sudden sight of the black lace side-tie panties made it change . His eye twitched uncontrollably and a beautiful and mature landscape entered his vision . He was immediately stupefied – not good .

"Ha!" Liang Si-Yao let out a clear shout and her punch landed on Xia Lei's chest .

A thump sounded and Xia Lei was hit several steps backwards . Intense pain came in jolts and he coughed with the pain .

Liang Si-Yao went forward to help him up as she asked in concern, "Are you all right? You could have avoided that completely . Why didn't you?"

Xia Lei replied a little nervously, "Uh… You moved too quickly . " After a pause, he diverted Liang Si-Yao's attention, "I say, can you not do these sort of sneak attacks in the future?"

Liang Si-Yao shook her head stubbornly, "No can do . You haven't been practicing martial arts for long . If I don't supervise you and train you, when will you defeat me and my dad?"

"Why do I have to defeat you and your father?"

"Because this is your task . "

Xia Lei was speechless .
