Grew up in an orphanage, with average looks, and worked tirelessly for 30 years, accumulating six million in savings. Just as she finally achieved financial freedom without spending a dime, Su Yan ...

Chapter 171 Finalizing the Renovation

Mr. Chen's friend, who runs a renovation company, looks quite impressive from the outside, and there were quite a few people inside explaining things to customers.

Boss Chen led Su Yan and the others through the door and shouted, "Old Zhu, your business is not doing well. You don't even come out to greet so many customers."

The company has a large area, but there is only one separate office.

After Boss Chen finished shouting, the office door opened, and a young man in a suit and tie walked out.

The man's eyes lit up for a moment when he first saw Su Yan, but he quickly looked down at Boss Chen and said in a friendly manner, "Boss Chen, you came so quietly, how can you blame me for not being hospitable enough? You really are a deadbeat!"

Mr. Chen chuckled and scolded him, then patted him on the shoulder and introduced him, "I won't chat with you today, I've come to introduce you to some business. This is Ms. Su, she just bought my restaurant. She plans to renovate it, and the price has to be reasonable, otherwise I'll lose face."

"Don't worry, I'll save your face for now." Boss Zhu said, looking at Su Yan and extending his hand. He said seriously, "Hello, Boss Su, my name is Zhu Gongcheng, I'm 27 years old. Feel free to make any requests, I guarantee you'll be satisfied."

"Su Yan."

Su Yan didn't tell him her age and went straight to the point, "Mr. Zhu, the restaurant hasn't undergone major renovations, but there are many details to consider. Are you free now? Why don't we go to the restaurant to discuss this in detail? That way, you'll have a clearer understanding and won't need to make many changes later."

Zhu Gongcheng was a little disappointed that Su Yan hadn't told him her age, but that was a minor matter; finishing his work was the priority.

He replied, "Okay, I can set off with just a pen and paper."

Uncle Deng then spoke up: "Boss Su, the transfer is done. There's probably nothing more I can help with now. I'll head back to the shop to keep busy."

Su Yan nodded and said gratefully, "Thank you, Uncle Deng. You've worked so hard these past two days. I'll definitely invite you when the restaurant opens."

"Then I wish Mr. Su all the best and a prosperous opening."

After saying goodbye to everyone, Uncle Deng left.

Su Yan and her group then went to the restaurant.

The restaurant is roughly diamond-shaped and octagonal, similar to a teahouse in ancient times. The three floors inside and out are covered with lanterns. Mr. Chen said that there is a few dozen square meters of space behind the restaurant, which he previously turned into a fish pond and garden.

Su Yan was quite satisfied with the diamond-shaped octagonal exterior, which was also what she had in mind. The only thing she was dissatisfied with was the color of the restaurant, which was the uniform liver red of this era, or even darker. Such a color was very jarring to the eye when paired with the bright red lanterns.

Anyway, she thought it was ugly.

Feng Caixia and Qiu Xiaorou didn't find it incongruous at all.

When Boss Chen heard Su Yan's complaints about the restaurant, he was embarrassed. Wasn't she implying that he had poor taste?

"Mr. Su, isn't this how all restaurants are decorated? What other tricks can you come up with?"

The same goes for Dian Dian Sheng Hui and Garden Restaurant, so why is business so bad here?

Mr. Chen was extremely frustrated; this was something he couldn't understand.

Su Yan coughed lightly and gave an awkward smile, "I'm a picky person, it's not directed at you."

Zhu Gongcheng had a rough idea of ​​her first step, and frowned as he asked, "So, what color does Boss Su want to change it to?"

This is how restaurants are usually decorated, and he was a little curious about what kind of tricks Su Yan could come up with.

Su Yan pinched her chin and said slowly, "Let's change it to red and gold. Red is the real bright red, and gold is the color of gold. The color code must be standard. Red is eye-catching, and with the embellishment of gold, it will have a bright effect and reduce the boredom of looking at a single color."

"Reddish gold?"

Those present looked completely bewildered; they had never heard of such a renovation before.

Seeing this, Su Yan immediately took Zhu Gongcheng's white notebook and started drawing.

After about five minutes of drawing, a simple and brightly colored restaurant design was completed.

"Here, take a look." Su Yan handed over the notebook. "It's a pity there are only red and black pens, otherwise I could have drawn more clearly."

Although it was very hastily drawn, the shape of the restaurant on the notebook caught the attention of the group.

"So impressive!" That was Feng Caixia's first impression. She looked at Su Yan with delight and praised, "How come you have such a clever little brain?"

Mr. Chen clicked his tongue in amazement and exclaimed, "Young people are so creative! An old-fashioned person like me would never have thought of decorating like this."

Su Yan smiled faintly.

The only problem is that there's too little color in this era. In Lanzhou, most people wear clothes in very monotonous and uniform colors. Wearing brighter colors would be considered improper. It's much better here in Guangzhou; it's not so rigid.

"Ms. Su, this is the first time I've seen this color. I'm not entirely sure." Zhu Gongcheng was a little nervous, but that didn't diminish his appreciation for Su Yan.

"It's okay. As long as the color is correct, there shouldn't be any major problems. We can give you about a week to make some changes."

After Su Yan finished speaking, she began to go into the details.

For example, paint certain areas red and others gold, paint the interior walls white, and open up the two windows in the middle of the backyard to make them folding doors so that guests can enjoy the scenery while dining.

"By the way, I'll set up a stage right in the center of the first floor. I want to invite some talented people to sing and play instruments."

The floor is open from the first floor to the ceiling, so guests on the second and third floors can hear it too.

"What? You're going to hire someone to play the piano and sing?" Boss Chen was shocked. "That'll cost a lot of money, won't it? It's not worth it!"

The salary for hiring an artist is much higher than the salary for hiring a worker.

Besides, you can't just invite one person; you need at least three. Su Yan is being far too generous.

Su Yan smiled and said, "Eating while listening to music has a unique charm, let's do it this way."

There weren't any other major issues, and the conversation lasted about half an hour before ending.

As they left the restaurant, Zhu Gongcheng suddenly remembered something. "Boss Su, do you want a signboard made? My company can also do that."

Su Yan thought for a moment and nodded, "Yes, but I haven't decided on a name yet. I need to go back and discuss it with the two shareholders before I can tell you."

“Okay, making the signboard is quite quick.” Zhu Gongcheng extended his hand to Su Yan again and said solemnly, “I have learned a lot from Boss Su today, thank you so much.”

Su Yan was taken aback for a moment, then her eyes crinkled into a smile as she teased, "Then Mr. Zhu, please go easy on me when you take the money. Remember to give me a bone fracture."

Save money where you can.

When it comes to money, saving face doesn't matter anymore.

Zhu Gongcheng was amused by her frankness. "The estimated renovation cost is two thousand yuan. I get along well with Boss Su, and you were introduced by Boss Chen. How about I charge you 1,888 yuan? I'll use the best materials. I definitely won't rip you off."

"This isn't exactly a special offer," Su Yan said, pouting deliberately.

"Well..." Zhu Gongcheng couldn't help but get nervous when he saw her playful expression. Finally, he waved his hand and said, "I'll make the signboard for you for free. Isn't that a good deal?"
