Chapter 628 Responsibilities on Our Shoulders, Sisters United
Chapter 628 Responsibilities on Our Shoulders, Sisters United
The morning light in the seaside villa complex always carries the fresh scent of grass, trees, and sea breeze. As Xiao Fangting walked along the dew-kissed stone path, she had just reached the temporary office area of the golf course when she saw Ye Haoxuan standing in the open space, with a capable-looking lady standing beside him – it was Da Fangting.
"Good morning, Tingting." Ye Haoxuan turned around with a gentle smile on his face. "I have something important to announce to you and Tingting today."
Xiao Fangting's heart stirred, and she stopped in her tracks, her gaze falling on Ye Haoxuan's handsome face.
During this period, she devoted herself to the project, from planning the villa to its construction and the initial progress of the golf course. She stayed up late revising blueprints, supervising the construction site, and coordinating with suppliers. Her hands developed calluses, but she never uttered a single complaint.
Da Fangting stepped forward, patted her on the shoulder, and said with a smile:
"Silly girl, what are you standing there for? Haoxuan is going to entrust you with an important task."
Ye Haoxuan's voice was calm and solemn: "After careful consideration, it has been decided to officially appoint Xiao Fangting as the General Manager of 'Binhai Engineering Development Co., Ltd.' She will be fully responsible for all matters related to the golf course project, including design implementation, construction supervision, funding, supplier coordination, etc., and will have the final decision-making power for the project."
Fang Ting's eyes lit up instantly, and her eyes reddened slightly.
"Haoxuan, I... I will definitely not let you down!" Her voice was slightly choked, but extremely firm.
“I believe in you.” Ye Haoxuan added, “From the planning of the villa to now, you have done even better than I expected. You are meticulous, responsible, and have ideas. You deserve this position.”
He turned to look at Da Fangting, his tone equally solemn:
"Da Tingting, please do your best to assist Xiao Tingting. Use your connections and resources to coordinate relationships between government and business leaders and handle matters that require liaison with government departments and financial institutions, so that Xiao Tingting can focus on the project itself without being distracted by external coordination."
Da Fangting was prepared and replied with a smile, "Don't worry, Haoxuan. Xiaotingting and I are sisters, so her business is my business. I've already spoken with my old friends at the Planning Department and the Housing and Urban-Rural Development Department, and the approval and registration of the golf course will be expedited. As for funding, I will also keep in touch with Zhanbo and Daisy to ensure that there will be no interruption of funding."
Xiao Fangting nodded.
She knew that she could do things freely without the support of her sisters.
"Thank you, sister." Little Fangting looked up at Big Fangting, her eyes full of gratitude.
"Why are you being so polite with me?" Da Fangting ruffled her hair. "Just keep pushing forward. I'll take care of any troubles outside. But don't overwork yourself. Take care of your health. No matter how busy you are at the construction site, make sure to eat and rest on time."
Looking at the harmonious relationship between the two sisters, Ye Haoxuan felt at ease.
With her extensive network and excellent coordination skills, and her younger sister Fangting's strong professional skills and execution ability, the golf course project will surely proceed smoothly with the sisters working together.
"Alright, let's go to the office area to discuss the details and further refine the division of labor for the follow-up work."
The temporary office area was a simple prefabricated house with a few desks inside. The walls were covered with golf course design drawings, schedules, and green plant distribution maps.
Xiao Fangting walked up to the design drawings, pointed to the location of the clubhouse, and said:
"Haoxuan, sister, we've received five design proposals for the clubhouse. I've shortlisted three; they're all from reputable design firms, and their styles match our requirements of 'understated luxury, blending into nature.' Shall we take a look together later?"
"You're the general manager, so you can make the decisions." Ye Haoxuan waved his hand. "I only care about the final result; you have full control over the process. However, there is one requirement: the clubhouse must meet high environmental standards, use environmentally friendly materials as much as possible, and have a complete sewage and garbage treatment system that does not damage the surrounding ecological environment."
"I understand." Xiao Fangting nodded and wrote it down in her notebook. "In addition, the green plants that Sister Na chose have already started to be purchased. The cherry blossom trees are three-year-old saplings with a high survival rate, and they are expected to be planted next week. The local ficus and bougainvillea have also been contacted by suppliers and will be transported in batches, so it will not affect the construction of the fairway."
Da Fangting added, "I have already contacted the Finance Department and the tax incentives for the project have been approved, which will save me some money. In addition, I have also contacted several insurance companies to insure the entire project with construction insurance and accident insurance, so that in case of an accident, the losses can be reduced."
Ye Haoxuan listened, nodding occasionally.
Xiao Fangting is responsible for internal construction, design, and landscaping, while Da Fangting is responsible for external government-enterprise coordination, funding, and risk control. Their division of labor is clear and highly complementary, making them a perfect match.
"Oh, right, there's also the issue of the construction team." Xiao Fangting suddenly remembered something. "Although the team that was responsible for the villa construction before was reliable, golf course construction has its own unique characteristics, especially the construction of the greens and bunkers, which requires a professional team. I contacted two teams with experience in golf course construction, and they will come to the site next week for an inspection. I will then comprehensively evaluate their qualifications, quotes, and construction period before making a decision."
"Okay, you handle it." Ye Haoxuan stood up. "I have other things to do, so I won't bother you any longer. Little Tingting, if you need my support in anything, just let me know. Big Tingting, please take good care of Little Tingting and help her sort out the external matters."
"Don't worry, Haoxuan!" the two sisters replied in unison.
After Ye Haoxuan left, Xiao Fangting and Da Fangting sat at the desk and began to divide the tasks in detail.
"Sister, I'll leave the government-business liaison, funding coordination, and risk control to you; I'll handle the construction, design, landscaping, and supplier management. We'll meet once a week to report on our progress and communicate promptly if there are any problems," Xiao Fangting said.
Da Fangting nodded: "No problem. In addition, I will assign two capable assistants to you to help you handle documents and follow up on progress. You don't need to do everything yourself. You need to learn to delegate and focus your energy on key decisions."
She paused, then added, "Also, when dealing with design companies, construction teams, and suppliers, you need to be careful about the balance. You need to ensure the quality of the project while maintaining good relationships. You can't be too forceful, nor can you be too weak. If you encounter something you can't handle, just let me know and I'll step in to coordinate."
Little Fangting listened attentively, taking her sister's words to heart.
She knew that her sister was not only assisting her, but also teaching her how to be a qualified manager.
"Sister, I understand. In the future, I will consult with you before making any decisions regarding key aspects such as contract signing and payment."
Sunlight streamed through the windows of the prefab house, falling on the earnest faces of the two sisters.
Xiao Fangting opened her notebook and began to draw up a detailed work plan:
Monday was for reviewing the clubhouse design plan, Tuesday for coordinating with the construction team for site surveys, Wednesday for following up on the progress of green plant procurement, Thursday... Every task was fully scheduled, yet everything was done in an orderly manner.
Da Fangting watched her busy figure with a look of satisfaction in her eyes.
She knew that Xiao Fangting had grown up and was capable of shouldering this responsibility.
As noon approached, Xiao Fangting put down her pen, stretched, and wore a tired but satisfied smile.
"Sister, the initial plan has been finalized. Now we just need to proceed step by step. I believe that with our efforts, the golf course will be completed on time and become the best golf course on Hong Kong Island."
Da Fangting smiled, picked up the water glass on the table, and handed it to her:
"Have some water and take a break. There's nothing we sisters can't do together. Once the court is built, we'll bring our families to experience it as soon as possible, so the kids can fly kites and have picnics on the lawn. How wonderful!"
Xiao Fangting took the water glass, took a sip, and her heart was filled with anticipation.
She looked out the window at the construction team leveling the land, and at the villa complex already built in the distance, as if she could see the scene that would soon unfold: golfers swinging their clubs on the lush green fairways; families strolling and chatting leisurely under the cherry blossom trees.
At the club, friends gathered together... The weight of this responsibility on her shoulders filled her with motivation.
She knew that the road ahead would not be easy, and she would encounter all sorts of problems and challenges. But with Ye Haoxuan's trust, her sister's assistance, and the support of everyone around her, she was certain that she could overcome the difficulties and build the golf course into a masterpiece that could stand the test of time, adding the most brilliant touch to the seaside villa complex.
The afternoon sun grew warmer, and the golf course construction site was bustling with activity, the machines roaring and the voices of people creating a vibrant scene.
Xiao Fangting and Da Fangting stood side by side at the entrance of the prefabricated house, looking at everything in front of them with firmness and expectation in their eyes.
Sisters united in heart, their strength can break gold; this construction of green fields and beauty has only just begun its most exciting chapter.
