Chapter: 3116
The next morning, Charlie Wade and Xiao Churan woke up and got ready for the day. After washing up, they went downstairs for breakfast. As was their routine, Charlie planned to drive Xiao to work after they ate. However, her work location was uncertain. It could be at the company, the Emgrand Group construction site, or the old house that Du Hai had recently taken over.
While eating, Xiao Churan was busy on her phone. Suddenly, she looked up excitedly and said to Charlie, “Husband! Song Wanting from the Song family asked me to go to the Song Group to discuss a project collaboration!”
Charlie wasn’t surprised. He remembered that Song Wanting had mentioned it very clearly the day before. He believed that she was helping Xiao Churan start her own business in return for the help Xiao had given her. So, he simply asked, “Should I take you to the Song Group after breakfast, or do you want to go somewhere else?”
“Let’s go to the Song Group!” Xiao Churan replied immediately. “Ms. Song is now the chairman of the Song Group. She can decide on project collaborations directly, so I need to talk to her and see if we can move forward quickly.”
Ma Lan, who was nearby, exclaimed, “Chu Ran, you’re going to work with the Song Group? That’s amazing!”
Xiao Churan quickly clarified, “Mom, I’m just going to chat with Miss Song to explore the possibility of working together.”
Ma Lan smiled and said, “If the boss of such a big company wants to talk to you about collaboration, you should be confident! This could really help your company grow.”
“This needs to be addressed after speaking with Miss Song,” Ma Lan said confidently.
“Don’t worry, it will definitely happen,” she added quickly. “Remember, Charlie Wade has shown Feng Shui to Song’s family before. And Song Wanting has never come to our home to give gifts in person! With Chen involved, there’s no way she would let you go without something in return.”
As Ma Lan spoke, Xiao Churan’s mood darkened. She realized that Song Wanting was interested in working with her mainly because of her husband’s reputation. Even the previous cooperation with the Emgrand Group seemed to be due to Charlie, which dampened her enthusiasm for her own business.
Noticing the change in Xiao Churan, Charlie smiled and reassured her. “My wife, a lot of business comes through the help of others. But whether you succeed in that business and satisfy your partners depends on you. I believe your skills are outstanding.”
Xiao Churan smiled back, feeling grateful. “Thank you, husband…”
After finishing their meal, Charlie drove Xiao Churan to the Song Group. He had a meeting scheduled with Su Zhiyu and He Zhiqiu at the Emgrand Group, so he went there on his own.
When Xiao Churan arrived at the Song Group, she was met with great respect. As soon as she mentioned her name at the front desk, Song Wanting came down from her office to greet her, which surprised Xiao Churan.
Song Wanting then invited Xiao Churan to her office. She presented several planning documents for construction projects that the Song Group was preparing to start. “Mrs. Ye, these projects are currently in the works,” she said.
The plans for the civil construction stage are ready. However, the decoration design plan is still open for bids. If Mrs. Ye is interested, her company can take on these projects.
Xiao Churan was shocked and speechless when she heard about the projects Song Wanting mentioned. The total investment was over 15 billion.
In the construction industry, the design cost for overall architectural design usually makes up about 3% of the total project cost. For interior decoration design, it’s about 1.5%.
Based on these percentages, the interior decoration design for these projects would cost over 200 million RMB. If they also win the construction piece, their profits could more than double!
