A moment later, Sheng Ju raised an eyebrow in surprise, asking suspiciously, "Really?"

“Really!” Sheng Yu chuckled. “Lin Zhong came to see me earlier and told me a long story. He said the reason the Ming family valued him so much before was because his construction team was the cheapest, used the fewest materials, and offered the best price.”

"A third less?" Sheng Ju was skeptical and couldn't help but ask, "Do you have any concrete data? Don't just spout nonsense like that, you idiot, don't believe it blindly!"

This was their first time getting into real estate, and they were novices in many areas, so they had to be cautious to avoid being scammed.

“This…” Sheng Yu hesitated, “He has already fallen out with the Ming family, and everyone in Rongcheng knows it. The data is with the Ming family, and it’s all their business secrets. You can’t just get it if you want it.”

Sheng Ju's eyes flickered slightly, but he still didn't quite believe it.

The son whispered, "Dad, during the auction, Jiang Lirong was determined to fight us to the bitter end, which really messed things up for us. If Hui'er hadn't helped us, we probably would have overpaid by several hundred million, or even a billion."

Sheng Ju turned his face away, not wanting to listen.

The chubby son stuck out his tongue inwardly and quickly changed the subject.

“Dad, Lin Zhong said that all the building materials he uses are transported directly from the production area, without any middlemen making a profit, which is why the contract price is so low. He also said that if he were given all the projects in Lingshan, he would be willing to bid for them at less than a quarter of the market price. He just hopes that we can give him a chance.”

Sheng Ju remained silent.

The fat son whispered, "The Ming family is willing to pay double the original price to compete with us for Lingshan Mountain. They must be confident they can make a huge profit. It turns out they have cheaper ways to get there elsewhere, so their profits are offset by the losses."

Sheng Yu quickly and earnestly advised, "Dad, since we don't have our own construction company, we'll definitely have to find someone else to contract the project. Naturally, we'll have to find the most experienced and cheapest company. A quarter of the project is a huge sum!"

After speaking, he waited anxiously for his father's reaction.

After a long while, Sheng Ju finally spoke.

"If he has the ability to outcompete other companies, why wouldn't I agree? If he's capable, I can give him an important position. If he doesn't have real ability, then even if he's the emperor himself, I won't pay him any attention!"

"Oh! That's great!" Sheng Yu laughed happily.

Sheng Ju glared at him and said in a deep voice, "Public matters are public matters, and private matters are private matters. Remember not to mix them up."

"No!" Sheng Yu explained happily, "I've already sent some tonics to Hui'er so she can have a good pregnancy. I also plan to find her a personal doctor and a nutritionist to take good care of her. After the DNA test, I'll make her my official girlfriend. We'll take care of the rest later. I won't make any promises for now."

After hearing this, Sheng Ju's complexion finally improved somewhat.

"That makes more sense. Remember, you now represent the Sheng family, not just yourself. Before making any decisions or choices, you must consider them carefully and seriously."

"Yes, Dad, I understand." Sheng Yu chuckled.

Sheng Ju said irritably, "Stop grinning like an idiot! Your mother is in the small Buddhist shrine in the back. Go over there and say a few nice things to her. She's really upset about you!"

"Yes, yes, yes!" Sheng Yu swayed her chubby body as she went downstairs.

Sheng Ju squinted, seemingly lost in thought.

Suddenly, a slight sound came from the window to the side and behind!

Sheng Ju frowned and looked around, but didn't see anyone. Feeling uneasy, he walked over and took a closer look, only to find that the small balcony had nothing but a few small potted plants.

He relaxed his guard, turned around, and leisurely strolled out of the study.
