Jiang Wenzhen left the office. Zhong Tingyue worked for a while, then got a little tired. She opened the package, which contained some small gifts and an exquisite invitation.

Zhong Tingyue said, word by word, "International Indoor Award..."

Then, a look of surprise appeared on her exquisitely beautiful face. She was stunned for nearly ten seconds before she came to her senses.

He said in an incredulous tone, "They really made it to the finals?"

As an interior designer, especially one with self-pursuit, Zhong Tingyue frequently submits her work to various interior design awards, hoping to gain recognition for her style and build her reputation.

She has submitted her work to numerous awards, ranging from international accolades to lesser-known, smaller ones.

The main theme is inclusiveness.

Their works have reached the international stage and are also accessible to ordinary people.

Most of her submissions went unanswered; some she entered in competitions, but she didn't win any awards.

This international interior design award is the award for her submitted design. Moreover, it is a high-end, top-tier interior design award that is available worldwide.

The International Interior Design Awards are open to designers who submit their own entries. Judges select one hundred finalists from the submissions and invite them to the awards ceremony.

Zhong Tingyue's face was as smooth as melting snow, and the corners of her mouth turned up in an unexpected smile.

But soon, her smile froze.

“Late September… ” Zhong Tingyue frowned.

The International Indoor Awards are presented in late September, and they are held overseas.

However, she was very busy in late September because she was getting married.

There's too much time to spare.

If this were in Shanghai, she could still try to negotiate, but this is abroad.

Zhong Tingyue sat in the chair, staring blankly ahead.

"Hey, hey, hey..." Chu Fang waved his hand in front of Zhong Tingyue, "Ms. Zhong, what's wrong with you? Missing a man?"

Zhong Tingyue snapped out of her daze and rolled her eyes: "Missing women."

"Wow." Chu Fang sat at his desk with a strange smile on his face. "When you're thinking about it, could you bring me into the scene? Preferably a three-person scene, I can handle that."

This is crucial and very important.

Zhong Tingyue punched her husband, saying his mind always wandered so fast, thinking about all sorts of strange things.

Chu Fang said with a smile, "Brother Liu is treating us to dinner tonight, do you want to come along?"

A few days ago, he promised security guard Brother Liu that he would treat him to a meal.

If it were an ordinary person, Chu Fang wouldn't eat; he doesn't owe a lot of food. But this is Brother Liu, whom he has known for seven or eight years.

We met after buying a house in Zhonghai Mingyuan, and we have a good relationship.

Although Brother Liu was a security guard, Chu Fang did not use money to build relationships.

Zhong Tingyue shook her head: "I'm not familiar with Brother Liu, so I won't go."

"Okay." Chu Fang nodded.

He knew that Zhong Tingyue didn't like attending these kinds of gatherings, but he just asked casually.

"Then go home early and don't work overtime."

"Oh, I know, you're just as nagging as my mother."

"Because I'm your father."

“... ..."

After seeing Chu Fang off, Zhong Tingyue sat in her office, gazing ahead, lost in thought.

Should I go for this international indoor design award?

... ...

Security guard Brother Liu's wife and children came to Shanghai and will be staying for more than half a month, so they rented an apartment for a short period of time.

At this moment, Liu's wife, Zhang Mei, looked at the wine in front of her and said with some heartache, "Honey, this bottle of wine is something Dad has treasured for a long time. It's very expensive. Are you just going to drink it like this?"

"Liquor is meant to be drunk, not treasured." Security guard Brother Liu set the table. "Besides, today we've invited General Manager Chu. He's been very kind to me at Zhonghai Mingyuan, so I should naturally return the favor."

"Why are you so stingy?"

Zhang Mei muttered, "This wine is worth at least a thousand yuan. Dad wouldn't drink a drop, but you drank it all. You've been a security guard in this luxury residential area for a few days, and now you're all so generous."

Zhang Mei didn't say anything, but went into the kitchen to serve the dishes. Brother Liu has a son and a daughter who can walk. Seeing this, the two children shouted, "I'll serve the dishes!"

Zhang Mei carried the dishes, while the two children carefully followed her, pretending to carry the dishes as well, until the dishes were placed on the table, at which point the two children slowly breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhang Mei smiled and tapped the two children's foreheads: "You two little rascals."

The food wasn't served at all, but the presentation was meticulously done.

You'd think those two kids had prepared a feast.

The table was laden with delicious food. Zhang Mei wiped her hands and said, "Honey, all the dishes are served. Why hasn't President Chu arrived yet? Why don't you call and ask?"

Just then, the doorbell rang.

Brother Liu immediately jumped up: "Coming!"

He then opened the door and said with a smile, "Mr. Chu, you've arrived."

"Brother Liu is already outside, so please don't keep calling me President Chu." Chu Fang said helplessly, "I've told you many times, just call me Chu Fang, or even Xiao Chu or Xiao Fang."

"That won't do," Brother Liu refused.

"Sister-in-law, you'd better teach Brother Liu a lesson." Chu Fang handed the gift to Zhang Mei when he saw her.

“Of course we’ll take one,” Zhang Mei said. “We’re already here, why bring a gift?”

"It was just something I did."

With the arrival of Chu Fang, the family banquet began.

Tonight, Brother Liu only invited Chu Fang, which shows how much he values ​​him.

Chu Fang also gave Brother Liu face, and although he drove there, he still drank some alcohol.

The family dinner ended late at night, and Chu Fang called a designated driver to leave.

Watching the car disappear, Zhang Mei slowly withdrew her gaze: "This rich person is quite peaceful, seems gentle and mild-mannered, without any domineering attitude. Moreover, he still came even though you invited him to dinner. He's a nice person."

“Of course, he’s a real rich man, unlike those rich people in our poor area who act like they’re the boss just because they have a little money. They’re far inferior to President Chu in terms of both money and attitude,” Brother Liu replied.

Brother Liu had met many wealthy people, but few were like Chu Fang, who was low-key, gentle, and treated everyone the same, never changing because of money or status.

"Hey, what are you two holding?" Zhang Mei suddenly noticed that the two children were holding something. The two children hurriedly tried to put it in their pockets, but Zhang Mei snatched it away. "Where did these two red envelopes come from?"

"That older brother gave it to us," the two children answered honestly.

Zhang Mei opened the red envelope and found two checks for 50,000 yuan each inside.

"My husband, my husband..." Zhang Mei excitedly tugged at her husband.

Just as Brother Liu was about to send a message to Chu Fang to inquire, he saw a message from Chu Fang saying that it was New Year's money for the two children.

“Honey,” Zhang Mei said, looking at her husband.

Brother Liu thought for a moment and said, "Keep it."

It wouldn't be appropriate to return the money; it would embarrass Chu Fang. So, he had no choice but to accept it and repay the favor in another way in the future.

Zhang Mei looked at the amount on the screen and thought, "It's so nice to be rich..."

The two children looked at each other: "Mom, this is what our older brother gave us."

"I'll keep this for you and give it back to you when you grow up."
