Chapter: 2942
After a moment, the female designer said, “Also, if we add a climbing tiger plant on the wall, it will keep the house cool and protect it from the sun. In summer, the temperature inside can drop a few degrees.”
Du Haiqing’s face lit up as she imagined the beautiful climbing plants. “That sounds amazing! The yard will be full of green, and the red brick walls will look great with the climbing tigers everywhere. I can just picture it, and it must be beautiful!”
The designer agreed, saying, “The bluestone path in your yard will grow moss after the summer rains. That will make it even prettier, but be careful walking on it, so you don’t slip.”
After that, the designer checked her watch and said, “Auntie Du, I understand your needs. I’ll go back and talk to my boss right away, and I’ll get you the design plan as soon as I can. I’ll try to make sure you can move in by summer.”
“Sounds good!” Du Haiqing replied with a smile. “Thank you so much, Xiao Wang. Please call me with any updates.”
“Of course,” the designer said, nodding. “I’ll see you later, Aunt Du.”
“I’ll walk you to the door!” Du Haiqing said as she accompanied the designer outside. After saying goodbye, she returned to the yard and noticed Su Zhiyu staring longingly at the space.
“Zhiyu, what are you looking at?” she asked.
Su Zhiyu couldn’t hide his excitement. “Mom, when the house is ready, can you save a room for me? I want to live here too!”
Du Haiqing smiled and replied, “You can stay in a room, but remember, Harvard Business School starts in August.”
“Didn’t you plan to leave in May?”
Su Zhiyu hesitated for a moment, then took a deep breath and said, “Mom, I’ve thought about it a lot and I’ve decided not to go to Harvard.”
Du Haiqing didn’t seem surprised. She asked calmly, “Have you really thought this through?”
“Yes, I have!” Su Zhiyu replied confidently. “I met with Grace today, and I’ve decided to work with him in the ocean shipping business. I’ll be in charge of the whole shipping group, owning 49% of the shares and being the second shareholder.”
Du Haiqing nodded slightly and said, “You can trust Charlie Wade’s character and skills. You can give him all your resources to manage, and you can finish your studies on your own.”
Su Zhiyu shook her head. “But I’m just starting in this field, and there’s a big need for help right now. If I go to school now, I won’t be able to support him. I want to stay and work with the team to manage this business well.”
Du Haiqing looked at her daughter with a knowing smile. “So, you want to stay because of Charlie Wade?”
Realizing her feelings were clear, Su Zhiyu nodded softly.
Du Haiqing sighed and took her hand. “I’ve experienced regrets and missed opportunities. So, whatever happens, now that you’ve made your choice, just go for it! I support you no matter what!”
