Chapter 1508: First Meeting, Please Take Care
Hearing that Xiao Churan had a new client, Ye Chen didn't think much of it.
Xiao Churan's company had two business lines: one was renovation design, and the other was renovation contracting.
Among them, renovation design was Xiao Churan's main business because she was good at design herself.
As for the renovation contracting business, she played more of a supervisory role, and the specific work had to be outsourced to renovation companies.
At present, the design work for Dihao Group had long been completed, and the actual renovation had been carried out in an orderly manner and gradually got on the right track. So, part of the energy of Xiao Churan and her employees was released, and they began to look for other projects.
After breakfast, the couple came out of the house together, and Ye Chen drove Xiao Churan to the old city area.
After driving for a distance, Ye Chen said to Xiao Churan, "Wife, tell me the detailed address you are going to. I'll turn on the navigation and check the road conditions by the way."
Xiao Churan said, "I don't really know the specific house number, but I know it's near the Catholic Church in the old city area. Why don't you drive there first?"
Hearing this, Ye Chen couldn't help but feel surprised.
This was because the old house where he lived with his parents in his childhood happened to be very close to the church in the old city area.
He couldn't help but secretly think, "Could my wife's new client be Su Zhiyu's mother, Auntie Du Haiqing?"
Thinking of this, Ye Chen felt that he seemed to be thinking too much.
Because there were many historical buildings in the old city area, many old houses were not allowed to be demolished or rebuilt, but a large number of citizens still lived there. So, Xiao Churan's client shouldn't be Du Haiqing by such a coincidence, right?
For a moment, Ye Chen also thought about whether to ask his wife implicitly, such as what the new client's surname was, but he gave up on the idea after thinking about it.
Driving the car to the Catholic Church in the old city area, Ye Chen turned left under Xiao Churan's direction. Seeing that he was getting closer and closer to the old house where he lived in his childhood, Ye Chen had an increasingly bad premonition in his heart.
Sure enough, when the car drove to the alley of the old house, Xiao Churan clearly pointed to the old house and said, "Husband, my client is that family. You can just park the car at the door."
Ye Chen sighed in his heart, "This is really something you can't hide from even if you want to."
Immediately, he asked Xiao Churan casually, "Wife, I have something to do later. Do you need me to wait for you here?"
"No need." Xiao Churan hurriedly said, "You go and do your business if you have something to do. I estimate that I will be here all morning. After finishing here, I will take a taxi to the Dihao Group hotel site myself. You can pick me up there in the evening."
"Okay." Ye Chen breathed a sigh of relief.
What he was thinking now was that it was best not to meet Du Haiqing and Su Zhiyu under these circumstances.
So, he slowly parked the car at the entrance of the old house, preparing to leave as soon as Xiao Churan got out of the car.
However, what he feared most was what happened.
Just as he parked the car, a black Mercedes-Benz sedan parked behind his car.
The driver was a middle-aged man. After he got out of the car, he immediately opened the two rear doors, and Su Zhiyu and her mother Du Haiqing walked out from the left and right.
It was just at this moment that Xiao Churan happened to push the door and get out of the car.
The mother and daughter happened to see Xiao Churan from behind, so Du Haiqing shouted in surprise, "Manager Xiao!"
Xiao Churan hurriedly turned back. Seeing it was Du Haiqing, she hurriedly smiled and said, "Hello, Auntie Du!"
Du Haiqing said with a smile, "Why did Manager Xiao come so early?"
Xiao Churan hurriedly said politely, "Auntie Du, there is still a lot of content for this renovation, so I came early to confirm the details with you."
Du Haiqing nodded, pointed to Su Zhiyu beside her, and said to Xiao Churan, "Manager Xiao, let me introduce you. This is my daughter, Su Zhiyu."
After saying this, she said to Su Zhiyu, "Zhiyu, this is the owner of the design studio I told you about, Xiao Churan."
Su Zhiyu nodded slightly and said politely, "Hello, Manager Xiao!"
Xiao Churan hurriedly said, "Don't call me Manager Xiao. Just call me Churan."
As she spoke, seeing that Du Haiqing had introduced her daughter to her, she naturally had to introduce her husband out of politeness. So, she hurriedly turned to the side and said to Ye Chen in the car, "Husband, you should also come down and say hello to Auntie Du and Miss Su."
In fact, Ye Chen had already seen Du Haiqing and Su Zhiyu behind him through the rearview mirror in the car.
Just as he was thinking about driving away quickly, he didn't expect his wife Xiao Churan to ask him to go down and say hello to them.
Under the current circumstances, it was impossible for him to just step on the gas and leave.
So, he had to bite the bullet and walk out of the car.
As soon as Ye Chen got out of the car, he was recognized by Su Zhiyu, who had excellent eyesight.
Just as Su Zhiyu widened her eyes and the word "Benefactor" almost blurted out, Du Haiqing was also amazed. She never expected that the designer she was cooperating with was actually Ye Chen's wife.
Just when the mother and daughter were amazed, Ye Chen hurriedly took the lead and said, "Hello, two of you. First meeting, please take care."
Ye Chen's "first meeting" immediately made Su Zhiyu and Du Haiqing understand.
Ye Chen definitely didn't want the two of them to reveal the fact that they knew him in front of his wife.
So, Du Haiqing hurriedly smiled and said, "You two are really a talented couple."
Su Zhiyu stood on the side without saying a word, feeling a bit sour in her heart, and at the same time couldn't help but look at Xiao Churan, comparing herself with Xiao Churan in her heart.
Xiao Churan was naturally beautiful beyond compare, but Su Zhiyu didn't think she was much worse than her. If she counted her family background, she would definitely win more than her.
Xiao Churan didn't know what Su Zhiyu was thinking. Seeing that Ye Chen had already come down to say hello to Du Haiqing and her daughter, she looked at Ye Chen and said gently, "Husband, don't you have something to do? Then you go and get busy. I also have to go in and check the plan with Auntie Du."
Ye Chen nodded and said smoothly, "Okay, then I won't delay your business."
After finishing, he looked at Du Haiqing and Su Zhiyu and smiled, "Auntie Du, Miss Su, goodbye."
Du Haiqing and Su Zhiyu also politely said goodbye to him, and then watched Ye Chen drive away with Xiao Churan.
Seeing Ye Chen leave, Xiao Churan said to Du Haiqing, "Auntie Du, let's go in."
"Okay." Du Haiqing smiled slightly and took Xiao Churan into the courtyard of the old house.
As the three of them walked, Du Haiqing asked with great interest, "Churan, how did you and your husband meet?"
Xiao Churan smiled slightly and said truthfully, "My husband and I were introduced by my grandfather."
"Introduced by your grandfather?" Du Haiqing was very curious and couldn't help asking, "Then how did you get together?"
Xiao Churan said awkwardly, "How should I tell you... We actually got married at my grandfather's request..."
Su Zhiyu couldn't help asking gossipingly, "Ah? Aren't you together because of free love?"
Xiao Churan bit her lip and said truthfully, "Before we got married, we didn't really know each other..."
Su Zhiyu was suddenly a little excited and blurted out, "Doesn't that mean it's an arranged marriage like in feudal society?" ===== CHAPTER 1509 =====
