Chapter 1853

Once Ye Chen said to keep this car, Xiao Changkun and Ma Lan were so excited that they almost shed tears!

Especially Ma Lan, who clapped her hands excitedly and immediately scolded Xiao Changkun, "Xiao Changkun! Why don't you hurry up and open the car door and let me go in and feel it! I've lived for so many years and haven't sat in a Rolls-Royce yet!"

Xiao Changkun was also in a great mood. He hurriedly took out the car key, pressed the unlock button, and then opened the passenger door, saying flatteringly to Ma Lan, "Come, come, come, please sit down and let you see what a Rolls-Royce starlight roof is!"

Ma Lan asked in surprise, "What is a starlight roof?"

Xiao Changkun waved his hand, "Oh, you'll know when you go in and see!"

Ma Lan climbed into the passenger seat of the Rolls-Royce, looked up, and exclaimed, "My goodness, there are so many stars inside this car!"

Xiao Changkun chuckled, "Pay attention, there's even a shooting star passing by from time to time!"

Ma Lan was fascinated and muttered, "Oh my, it's so beautiful! Why don't I just sleep in the car tonight!"

After finishing, she suddenly sat up straight and said to Xiao Changkun, "Hurry up and get in the car and take me out for a ride!"

Xiao Changkun had just driven from the Calligraphy and Painting Association home and hadn't had enough of the car yet. He was thinking of going out for a stroll later to experience it properly, but he didn't expect Ma Lan to make the request first.

So he agreed without hesitation and laughed repeatedly, "Good, good, good, then I'll take your mom out for a few laps!"

After finishing, he looked at Ye Chen and Xiao Churan and blurted out, "Churan, Ye Chen, you two come up too, let's go out for a stroll!"

Ye Chen shook his head, "Dad, we won't go. You two go, don't disturb your world of two."

Xiao Churan also said, "Dad, you go, Ye Chen and I still have something to talk about."

Xiao Changkun didn't insist anymore and said with a smile, "Then I'll go out with your mom first, call if there's anything."

After finishing, he immediately got into the driver's seat and pressed the car's start button.

The 12-cylinder engine of the Rolls-Royce emitted a low roar, and Xiao Changkun asked Ma Lan, "Where are we going?"

Ma Lan blurted out, "Go to your mom's house first!"

"My mom?!" Xiao Changkun said awkwardly, "Isn't that right next door?"

"Yes!" Ma Lan sneered, "That's exactly why I want to drive the car downstairs to your mom's house, and let them open their dog eyes wide and see clearly that I, Ma Lan, am also someone who sits in a Rolls-Royce! They didn't know where they cheated money from before and bought a Bentley and were so arrogant. This time, I must give them some eye drops!"

Xiao Changkun hurriedly appeased, "Alright, my mom is miserable enough now, why are you still stimulating her..."

"She's miserable?" Ma Lan said angrily, "Can she be more miserable than me? My leg broke for the first time because of her. Have you forgotten? Do you want me to tell you what happened from beginning to end, so that you, this heartless thing, don't forget it again?"

Xiao Changkun coughed twice and said helplessly, "Fine, fine, fine, is it okay if I go?"

After saying that, he started the car and drove out of the courtyard.

Xiao Churan sighed and said to Ye Chen, "Husband, do you really intend to keep this car?"

Ye Chen nodded and said casually, "Dad and Mom like it, so let them drive it for fun."

Xiao Churan hurriedly said, "It's not appropriate for them to drive this car out... It's too flashy..."

Ye Chen smiled, "Giving them this opportunity to be flashy, all their hormones and energy will be vented outwards. But if they aren't given this opportunity, all their hormones and energy will evolve into a resentment. Maybe in the next year or two, or even longer, every time we return to this house, they will sigh at us and complain that we didn't keep this car. Rather than that, it's better to accept it happily and let them be satisfied."

Speaking of this, Ye Chen looked at Xiao Churan and smiled, raised his eyebrows and asked, "Wife, what do you think?"

Xiao Churan heard this and shook her head helplessly, sighing, "You're right... If we really returned this car, I estimate they wouldn't be able to get over this matter for the next year or two..."

As she spoke, Xiao Churan also said with some worry, "Husband, that Ms. Zhan is a bit too generous... You just took time this morning to read Feng Shui for her, and she sent such an expensive car. This is also not very appropriate..."

Ye Chen said casually, "There's nothing inappropriate. She has something to ask of me."

Xiao Churan hesitated for a moment and said, "A girl surnamed Chen came to the company to find me this afternoon, saying she wanted to make an appointment with me on behalf of that Ms. Zhan to meet and chat about the decoration of the villa in Shuiyun Villa..."

"Oh?" Ye Chen asked with interest, "Is that Ms. Zhan planning to find you for decoration?"

Xiao Churan nodded, "It sounds like it."

As she spoke, Xiao Churan pursed her lips and said, "That Ms. Chen gave me a rough budget. It is said that they want to spend 30 million to decorate that villa, and the design fee alone accounts for 10%..."

In the domestic home decoration market, users generally don't recognize design fees.

Ordinary designers' design fees of hundreds of yuan per square meter are seen by most people as robbery.

Therefore, most people looking for decoration companies to decorate will ask the decoration company to waive the design fee.

Most decoration companies are also quite good at fooling people. They take out ready-made design templates for customers to pick and choose, which is basically considered finished.

Customers didn't spend design fees, but they seemed satisfied with the effect, so over time, everyone is even less willing to pay for design.

This is also the dilemma of many designers in the country.

Xiao Churan has been doing decoration for a long time. Most home decoration clients are very generous in decoration, but very stingy in design fees.

Those who can clearly take out 10% as design fees like Fei Kexin are almost rare.

Ye Chen was also slightly surprised after hearing this. It wasn't that he was surprised whether the 5 million design fee was much or little, he was just surprised by Zhan Feier's style of doing things.

This woman, although painstakingly approaching him, the actual operation was all kinds of catering and flattery. Donating a few pieces of calligraphy to the Calligraphy and Painting Association, wanting to sponsor 50 million for an art exhibition, sending Xiao Changkun a Rolls-Royce Cullinan, and then giving his wife a big order of 50 million.

This gave Ye Chen the feeling that someone was staring at him in the dark, aiming a gun at him, but the gun wasn't firing bullets, but candies.

Such a huge contrast made Ye Chen somewhat dumbfounded.

Seeing Ye Chen didn't speak, Xiao Churan asked with no bottom in her heart, "Husband, do you think this Ms. Zhan is also because she has something to ask of you, so she sent such a big order to me? Just like she sent Dad a Cullinan..."

Ye Chen said indifferently, "Yes."

Xiao Churan hurriedly asked, "Then is it appropriate for me to take her order? If it's not appropriate, I'll politely decline it..."

Ye Chen smiled, "She is looking for you for a normal cooperation between Party A and Party B. If you want to take it, take it; if you don't want to, refuse it. You don't need to ask for my opinion."

Xiao Churan said awkwardly, "But the budget and design fee she offered can already invite very well-known interior designers in the country. There is no need to come to me at all... The premium here is too high. I'm afraid that if I take it, it will make you owe her a favor... In case you didn't want to help her, but had to help because of these trivial matters, then I'm causing you trouble."

Ye Chen smiled, "Wife, you don't need to have such psychological burden at all. The matter that Zhan Feier wants to ask of me is too big, far from being solved by such a little sincerity."
