Chapter 485: I'm Afraid the Other Party Will Suffer a Loss!

The next morning, Tang Ye and Du Xi arrived at the expert villa provided by the hospital for Tang Yu.

Tang Ye glanced at Du Xi in the passenger seat from time to time with his peripheral vision.

Nourished by last night, her complexion was rosy, her skin delicate, her mood joyful, and she was exceptionally gentle.

"The villa the hospital allocated for Dad seems even larger than Yunhu Courtyard."

"This is newly built, so the area is a bit larger. However, I still prefer Yunhu Courtyard."

"Why?"

"Because that place symbolizes status and standing."

Only when Tang Ye and Du Xi are chatting together do they speak their true thoughts.

Due to the massive amount of renovation work for the villa, the time consumed was relatively long.

The style of this renovation was designed according to Qin Lan's wishes; Tang Ye and Du Xi had only come after a long while, and the scene they saw upon each visit was different.

The renovation matters were still left to Jia Teng to be responsible for.

Jia Teng had arrived here early in the morning to conduct a comprehensive inspection of the project and handle some existing minor details.

When Tang Ye and Du Xi walked into the courtyard, Jia Teng immediately came up to greet them.

"County Magistrate Tang, it has been a long time!" Jia Teng greeted with a smile.

Tang Ye handed a cigarette to Jia Teng, which Jia Teng took in his hand without lighting it.

Seeing this, Tang Ye took out a lighter to help Jia Teng light the cigarette, and only then did Jia Teng take a puff.

"Boss Jia, thank you for your hard work on the renovation," Tang Ye said.

Jia Teng waved his hand and replied, "This is my job; it is only right."

Tang Ye smiled and said, "My mother has a rather picky temperament and often has new ideas; she must have caused you a lot of trouble, right?"

Jia Teng thought to himself that Tang Ye's words hit the nail on the head; if it were any other client, he might not have had such patience.

"Auntie has very high aesthetic taste, which is actually a good opportunity for us to improve the quality of the renovation," he complimented with a smile.

Under Jia Teng's guidance, Tang Ye took a tour around the villa.

One had to admit that the overall renovation style leaned towards the national style, and it was clear that a lot of effort and cost had been spent.

However, Tang Ye knew that Qin Lan had a stable income every month.

Making money is meant for improving the quality of life for one's family.

The dividends from the zither song business and the muck transport company had clear origins, so spending them was worry-free.

After seeing the entire renovation, Tang Ye offered two extremely minor suggestions, which Jia Teng silently recorded.

After Tang Ye left, Jia Teng finally let out a sigh of relief.

"Boss, the owner's son and daughter-in-law seem like very kind people and are quite easy to get along with," the subordinate in charge of the project remarked softly.

Jia Teng asked back with some surprise, "Did the owner not mention her son's situation to you?"

The subordinate shook his head: "No!"

Jia Teng said with a serious expression, "The owner's son is the Deputy County Magistrate of Suiyuan County, and his wife is the daughter of the Municipal Party Committee Secretary-General."

The subordinate exclaimed in surprise, "This family is truly low-key!"

Jia Teng patted his subordinate on the shoulder and instructed, "Work hard. Even if we plan to lose money on this project, we must do it to the best of our ability; it must be built into a boutique project."

For Jia Teng, Tang Ye could be considered his benefactor.

As early as two years ago, he was just the boss of an ordinary renovation company—to put it colloquially, a "makeshift outfit."

However, through Tang Ye's introduction, he began to come into contact with some municipal renovation projects, from which he gained many opportunities and profits.

The key was frequently dealing with people from government departments.

He felt his own social status rising, and his back straightened even more.

Of course, Jia Teng knew to drink from the source and knew that his greatest connection was Tang Ye.

On the way back to Xiyue Garden, Tang Ye dialed Qin Lan's phone.

"Mom, I just left the villa. The renovation effect is quite good. Whether it's the material selection or the precision of the craftsmanship, one can tell effort was put in. However, I must remind you that when settling the bill, you must calculate the accounts clearly."

Qin Lan chuckled on the other end of the phone: "What kind of person is your mother? How could I possibly suffer a loss?"

Tang Ye smiled helplessly and corrected her: "Mom, I'm not worried about us suffering a loss; I'm afraid the other party will suffer a loss!"

Qin Lan understood the implication of Tang Ye's words and muttered in a low voice: "Boss Jia is a businessman; he is very shrewd."

Tang Ye's tone became serious: "Mom, we should save on expenses that can be saved, but we absolutely cannot save on money that shouldn't be saved. There are many people watching our family's renovation. Now that Dad has just been promoted to Vice President, if someone finds any handle on us, there's no telling if they will use this to make an issue of it."

Qin Lan felt a tightness in her heart, then smiled: "I know, I won't hold you and your father back."

Hearing his mother say this, Tang Ye finally felt at ease.

After hanging up the phone, Qin Lan smiled bitterly and helplessly.

Other families fear being cheated by renovation companies, but her own family is the exact opposite, worrying instead that the renovation boss is secretly giving them discounts.

But upon further thought, this also showed that her son has principles and understands propriety.

She recalled carefully that when she previously discussed prices with Jia Teng, the other party always had an indifferent attitude; the more she pondered, the more she felt something was off.

Next, she must calculate the accounts clearly; she absolutely cannot leave any hidden dangers for Tang Ye's official career because of the house renovation.

Tang Ye and Du Xi arrived at the mall and said with a smile, "I'm taking you out for a big meal today."

Du Xi looked at Tang Ye in surprise, "Is there some happy occasion?"

"Does there have to be a happy occasion to treat you to a big meal?"

"No, it's not that!"

"Wife, I am often not by your side and haven't properly accompanied you. I know you love me very much, but I can't let you keep giving. Let me be good to you, too!"

Du Xi's eyes turned red, and she wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, "You, you suddenly touched my tear point."

After Tang Ye finished eating with Du Xi, he was pulled by Du Xi to the video game plaza on the second floor.

Du Xi and Tang Ye were both playing like crazy.

"Hubby, save me quickly, I'm about to die."

"There's a chicken leg over there, hurry up and eat it, it can restore health!"

"Sigh, didn't make it in time."

"It's okay, I'll insert coins to continue your life!"

Two elementary school students were squatting nearby, waiting to play.

Although Tang Ye and Du Xi had poor skills, they could continue their lives infinitely.

It wasn't their turn for a while, and they were so anxious they kept stomping their feet!

Du Xi looked at Tang Ye's happy expression, and her heart felt sweet.

The adult world is cruel, and also very realistic.

But when you truly love someone, you will take off all your masks and disguises, like a pure child, embracing that intimacy and beauty.

If a person truly loves you, they don't need you to be very sensible, nor do they need you to be well-behaved; you only need to show that natural authenticity and purity in front of them.

What he loves is not a perfect you.

Even though you have many shortcomings, he still chooses to love you over and over again.

Du Xi was finally tired of playing.

The two children saw her and Tang Ye pull away, quickly inserted coins, stood in their spots, and glared at the two of them with faces full of disdain.

This made Du Xi giggle incessantly.

Walking out of the arcade, the phone rang.

Xiao Qin's voice came through.

"Come back for a moment! Chen Lan's mother has brought Shen Mingcheng here!"
