When Li Long drove to Qingshui River that afternoon, Meng Hai was in the courtyard wiping down his GAZ vehicle.
"Finished all the fieldwork?" Li Long asked as he got out. "Got some time on your hands now?"
"Yeah. Our Team doesn't have much farmland, so there wasn't much work to begin with. My wife's capable, too. She finished it ages ago," Meng Hai said with some pride. "Boss, you didn't need to bring anything."
Before coming, Li Long had stopped at the Dried Meat Processing Workshop and taken several kilograms of dried meat on account. Hearing Meng Hai, he smiled and said:

"What good news?" Meng Hai asked eagerly.
"I spoke to Deputy Bureau Director Guan at the Transportation Bureau. He said there's a project in Letuyi repairing an asphalt road. I think it's just right for our company. None of our employees have done this kind of work before, so taking on a new road outright isn't realistic. Repairs would be just the thing for getting some practice."

Meng Hai wasn't very familiar with that
