Gu Shaoting looked at him and said, “Put away your curiosity, you’ll find out in due time.”
“It’s easy for me to find a designer, but it’s your house we’re renovating. What style do you want?” He Ming had to remind him. What if the renovation didn’t turn out as he wanted?
“Well, you can renovate it according to the style of Shuimu Qinghua,” Gu Shaoting thought for a moment, then replied.
“But that was something Shu Pan was involved in, and many of the ideas were hers. Now you’re getting married to Tong Fei, don’t you think you should ask for her input?” He Ming rarely brought up Shu Pan in front of Gu Shaoting, as it could be a sensitive topic.
“Let’s start by getting the designers to produce some concept sketches, and we can decide from there,” Gu Shaoting said as he looked at some documents.
“Heh, Brother Ting, are you really planning to step into the marriage pit again?” He Ming’s motto was not to hang all one’s hopes on a single tree.
The world outside was so exciting. There was really no need to rush into the pit of marriage so quickly. At least that’s how He Ming felt now, but in the future, he would understand that even if you want to hang on a single tree, you still need the tree’s permission.
“My family keeps urging me, and I have to give them an answer,” Gu Shaoting had thought all night last night. Whenever he saw or thought about things related to Shu Pan, he would get deeply entangled and couldn’t let go.
After all, yesterday is already in the past, and now he should look forward to the future. Continually reminiscing and thinking about his ex-wife didn’t seem like a good sign.
If he married Tong Fei, perhaps he could put an end to this phenomenon.
“Alright, I know a reputable renovation company. They renovated my house, have you heard of ‘Sunrise Architecture’?” He Ming figured that anyone in the industry should be familiar with them.
“Yeah, I’ve heard of them. Then please contact them for me. Thanks,” Gu Shaoting handed He Ming the villa keys.
“Okay, don’t worry. I’ll make sure you bring the beauty back home,” He Ming teased.
Gu Shaoting couldn’t help but roll his eyes at him.
Shu Pan arrived at the office early because her residence was relatively far from the company, so she took the bus to work.
A busy day of work would make her forget all her troubles.
Shortly after, the director walked in, clapping his hands to get everyone’s attention. He signaled for quiet and then instructed everyone to gather in the conference room for a meeting.
During the meeting, the director assigned work tasks. Since it was the peak
“Now, everyone has tight schedules with their ongoing projects, and I appreciate your hard work. Yesterday, an old client called and said they have a villa that needs renovation. Price is not an issue. The most important thing is to create a design that satisfies them,” the director’s words motivated the team.
In the current market, many clients expected the best results at the lowest cost. Clients with no budget constraints were truly rare.
“Director, I don’t have any ongoing projects at the moment. My last project was completed in the last couple of days. Let me take this one,” designer Chen Xiang immediately spoke up. He knew this was a lucrative opportunity.
No one else said anything after hearing Chen Xiang’s request. Shu Pan’s current project was nearing completion as well, but since Chen Xiang had already spoken, she had to remain silent.
Seeing that no one else had spoken up, the director assigned the project to Chen Xiang.
After the meeting ended, Shu Pan packed her things and left the conference room.
She planned to finish her current project and then ask the director for further assignments because, after all, their salary was tied to their performance.
Shu Pan’s current goal was to make money because Joy would soon start school..
