Inspection studio renovation
Li Wei put on his clothes.
"Murong Wan's husband, Lin Tianhao."
Yang Yun was stunned for a moment.
"Why is he looking for you?"
Li Wei thought about it.
"He probably wants to talk about that Myanmar mine project."
Yang Yun frowned.
"Aren't you uninterested in that?"
Li Wei nodded.
"I am uninterested, but it wouldn't hurt to meet him."
Yang Yun sat up.
"Do you want me to go with you?"
Li Wei shook his head.
"No need, just stay home and rest."
Yang Yun pouted.
"Alright then."
Li Wei walked to the bedside and kissed her on the forehead.
"I'm going to take a shower."
Yang Yun nodded.
Li Wei walked into the bathroom.
He turned on the shower.
Hot water poured over him.
His mind was occupied with thoughts of Lin Tianhao.
A real estate tycoon with assets of 5 billion.
He was considered a person of status in Shen City.
But the real estate market had been sluggish for the past two years.
Many developers were looking for new investment channels.
The Myanmar jade mines were one of them.
But projects like this carried too much risk.
Li Wei had no intention of participating.
Still, meeting him wouldn't be bad.
Getting to know more people never hurt.
After his shower.
Li Wei changed into some clothes.
A gray polo shirt, black casual trousers, and brown leather shoes.
He went downstairs.
Yang Yun was already busy in the kitchen.
She was wearing Li Wei's oversized white shirt, revealing her shapely, beautiful legs.
Even with an apron on, it couldn't hide her allure.
Hearing footsteps, she turned around.
"It'll be ready soon, just wait a moment."
Li Wei walked over and hugged her from behind.
"No rush."
Yang Yun blushed.
"Stop messing around, the eggs are going to burn."
Li Wei smiled, let her go, and went to sit at the dining table.
A few minutes later.
Yang Yun walked over carrying two servings of breakfast.
Fried eggs, bacon, toast, and milk.
"Eat up."
Li Wei picked up his knife and fork.
"Looks like your cooking is pretty good."
Yang Yun smiled.
"Of course, I used to cook for myself quite often when I was abroad."
The two chatted while they ate.
The atmosphere was very warm and cozy.
After finishing breakfast.
Li Wei glanced at the time.
It was only ten in the morning.
He was wondering what to do for a while.
Just then, his phone rang.
It was a call from Qin Xue.
"Hello?"
"Mr. Li..."
Her voice was a bit choked up.
Li Wei frowned, "What's wrong?"
"You know about my mother's situation; I'm afraid I'll have to be at the hospital for the next few days."
Li Wei breathed a sigh of relief, "Is she okay?!"
Qin Xue paused, "She's out of danger for now. Thank you so much."
"It's the least I could do."
Qin Xue took a deep breath, "Mr. Li, I need to take care of my mother at the hospital during this time, so as for the Studio..."
"Do you want me to help keep an eye on things?"
"If it's not too much trouble..."
Li Wei thought for a moment, "Alright, I'll go over and take a look later."
Qin Xue's voice was filled with gratitude, "Thank you, Mr. Li."
She paused, "Also... about what happened with Xiaobing last night, I'm really sorry."
"I understand. She was just worried about your mother."
Qin Xue choked up, "Mr. Li, you really are a good person."
Li Wei laughed, "Alright, don't go giving me the 'good guy' card."
Qin Xue broke into a smile through her tears, "Don't mind me. I just genuinely think you're a good person, no other meaning."
He hung up the phone.
Yang Yun cast a puzzled look at him.
"What 'good guy' card?"
Li Wei smiled at Yang Yun.
"It's your good friend Qin Xue. She wants me to supervise the renovation at her Studio, and I agreed, so she gave me a 'good guy' card."
Yang Yun rolled her eyes helplessly.
"Usually, no matter how many men try to curry favor with her, she doesn't give them the time of day. You should be secretly happy she gave you a 'good guy' card!"
Li Wei picked up his car keys and shrugged.
"Fine, you best friends are on the same side, and I'm like an outsider. I'll just leave, shall I?"
With that, he left Seaview No. 1 amidst Yang Yun's feigned scolding.
Qin Xue's Studio was in a high-end office building in Futian District.
The car drove for forty minutes before finally arriving at the bottom of the office building.
Li Wei got out of the car and walked into the building.
The elevator went up to the eighth floor, and the sound of renovation could be heard in the hallway.
The sounds of electric drills, saws, and hammers were all mixed together.
Pushing open the door to the Studio, several workers were busy at work.
Some were painting walls, some were laying flooring, and others were installing lights.
A foreman in his forties saw Li Wei and hurried over.
"Who are you?"
"I am the owner behind this Studio. My surname is Li."
The foreman hurriedly nodded and bowed, "Oh, so it's Boss Li. I don't know why you've come..."
Li Wei waved his hand to interrupt, "How is the project progress?"
The foreman wiped his sweat, "Everything is being done according to the blueprint plan. Rest assured."
"Is that so?"
Li Wei sneered inwardly, walked to the wall, and reached out to touch the surface.
"This wall surface hasn't been processed finely enough."
The foreman was stunned, "Where?"
Li Wei pointed to the wall, "Look here, there's a noticeable grainy texture."
He paused, "After the paint is applied, it will be visible once the lights are on."
The foreman leaned in to look, "You're right."
He turned around and shouted to a worker, "Xiao Wang, what's going on with this wall? Hurry up and sand it again!"
The worker was a bit reluctant, "Foreman, hasn't this already been sanded?"
The foreman glared at him, "If Boss Li says it's not good, it's not good. Sand it again!"
The worker had no choice but to pick up the sandpaper and continue sanding.
Li Wei continued walking inside.
He knew the renovation industry was full of deep waters.
If you don't put some pressure on them, they'll treat you like a novice and cut corners whenever they can.
Especially since Qin Xue wasn't there right now.
Walking to the flooring area, Li Wei crouched down and tapped it with his hand.
His brows furrowed again.
"This floor isn't laid tightly enough. Is this also according to the blueprint?"
The foreman walked over again, "Not tight enough? That can't be, Boss Li. Did you see it wrong?"
Li Wei pointed to the gaps in the floor, "Look here, the gaps are too big. Dust will get in later."
The foreman looked carefully and, seeing he couldn't fool him, could only nod repeatedly.
He turned around and shouted again, "Xiao Li, relay this floor too!"
Xiao Li hurried over, sighed, and started to dismantle the floor.
The foreman probed from the side.
"Boss Li, you have a sharp eye. Were you in the renovation business before?"
Li Wei didn't answer.
He stood up and walked to the lighting installation area.
He looked up at the ceiling.
"The position of this light is off."
The foreman wiped the sweat from his forehead and quickly took out the design drawings to compare.
"This... it does seem to be off by about ten centimeters."
He turned around and shouted, "Xiao Zhang, reinstall this light!"
Xiao Zhang was a bit helpless, "Foreman, isn't it already installed? And it's only ten centimeters??"
"What ten centimeters."
The foreman walked over and kicked Xiao Zhang in the butt, "If I tell you to change it, you change it. We have to follow what the boss says."
Xiao Zhang had no choice but to start dismantling the light.
Li Wei continued to inspect and offered a few more suggestions.
These suggestions were incisive, clearly not something a layman would think of.
The foreman was sweating profusely, not daring to be careless, and noted them all down one by one.
After the inspection, Li Wei walked up to the foreman.
"The overall progress is good, but you need to pay attention to the details."
The foreman nodded repeatedly, "Rest assured, we will definitely do it according to your requirements."
Li Wei patted his shoulder, "Hard work. I will come by to check from time to time."
The foreman was flattered, "It's not hard work, not hard work at all."
After leaving Qin Xue's Studio, the time had reached two in the afternoon.
There was less than an hour until Lin Tianhao's tea meeting.
Fortunately, it wasn't very far from here.
Forty minutes later, the car stopped in front of Jingxin Zhai.
It was a two-story antique-style building with blue bricks and black tiles, and a Taihu stone stood at the entrance.
Pushing the door open, a scent of sandalwood rushed to meet him.
The receptionist was a girl in her early twenties wearing a cheongsam, with delicate features.
