Cheng Jiangnan was well prepared. He said slowly, "I know you don't trust me, but I have seen several designs by Miss Xie. They are much more creative than those designed by traditional designers. Most of the clients of this residential area will be overseas Chinese, so the design requirements are higher."

He praised Xie Yunshu highly with just one sentence, which clearly meant that he appreciated Xie Yunshu's design ability.

Xie Yunshu hummed: "If you want to buy the design, I can sell it to you."

Cheng Jiangnan's calm expression paused for a moment, and he quickly laughed again: "Ms. Xie is really a joker. How much is a design worth? But how much can you earn from taking on a project? You must know this better than I do."

This is the truth. Even for a top-notch architect, a set of design drawings can be sold for tens of thousands of yuan, which is a sky-high price. What's more, Xie Yunshu is not famous at all? But even if the profit of such a large project is low, the difference in labor alone can only make hundreds of thousands at most.

Xie Yunshu pondered for a while and said, "Okay, I'll go back and think about it. If it's convenient for you, you can bring the contract over first. Our company's staff will study it."

Cheng Jiangnan's smile was more genuine at this moment: "Of course there is no problem with this."

Song Qianqian hesitated to speak. Although she was anxious, she did not interrupt Xie Yunshu on the spot.

"I'll come to see Miss Xie tomorrow. The contents of the contract will definitely surprise you." Cheng Jiangnan curled his lips: "Are you sure you want me to take Miss Xie home?"

Xie Yunshu smiled at him politely: "Excuse me, I'm a little carsick. If I vomit in your car, you'll be angry again."

Cheng Jiangnan's smile faded a little: "How could that be? But if that's the case, then don't waste Miss Xie's time."

After he finished speaking, he smiled at Song Qianqian and said, "See you later."

As the car drove away, Song Qianqian immediately gritted her teeth and cursed, "You are such a jerk!" Then she grabbed Xie Yunshu and said, "Don't cooperate with him. He is a good person! He will definitely kill you!"

Xie Yunshu curved his eyebrows and said, "You seem to hate him."

"Who doesn't hate a shitty guy?" Song Qianqian snorted coldly, but she didn't hide it from Xie Yunshu: "Last time I told you that my grandfather hates the Architecture Institute the most? This Cheng Jiangnan is the younger brother of the chief designer of the Architecture Institute."

Xie Yunshu knew that they were all from the Cheng family: "So you hate him so much?"

"I am particularly disgusted by this Cheng Jiangnan!"

Song Qianqian pursed her lips and spoke with disgust: "I don't know the chief designer of the architectural institute, but I have never met him. But Cheng Jiangnan has met him once. Did you know that the collapse of Beijing North a few years ago was related to the Cheng family? It was their cutting corners that led to the tragedy!"

Xie Yunshu had seen the collapse incident in the newspaper. Although it was just a photo, the scene was very tragic. She couldn't imagine how miserable those buried there were.

Song Qianqian sighed: "Several workers died at that time. The Cheng family was obviously the culprit, but under the mediation of Cheng Jiangnan, they pushed all the responsibilities to the contractor at that time. That contractor Jingbei had no backers and committed suicide in despair! And the Cheng family only had a distant relative imprisoned!"

Of course, this incident had a certain impact on the Cheng family. They had not dared to make any big moves in the past two years. Now, after a period of silence, Cheng Jiangnan suddenly moved around in public, which definitely did not have any good intentions.

Xie Yunshu pursed his lips: "You risk your life to make money. You deserve a good death."

Song Qianqian bit her lip: “That’s why I advised you to cooperate with him, and Grandpa Shen hates the Cheng family the most!”

Xie Yunshu smiled: "I know, it's okay, but you can play a trick on him."

"Tricking them?" Song Qianqian didn't expect to be able to do this, and immediately became interested: "What are you going to do? Are you going to cheat them out of their money?"

Xie Yunshu thought for a moment: "How can I be so wicked?"

"Ah?" Song Qianqian's eyes widened: "Immoral?"

Xie Yunshu didn't continue: "Just kidding, I haven't thought about it yet! Can I ask Driver Song to take me home now?"

"Okay, thank you, boss!" Song Qianqian laughed and said, "Don't worry, get in. I'm a very good driver. I guarantee that you will vomit in my car if you get carsick!"

Cheng Jiangnan sat in the passenger seat. The car had been driving for about a minute before the person sitting in the back spoke up: "Jiangnan, are you sure Xie Yunshu will really cooperate with us? Even someone as stupid as Li Chuchu could resist rejecting you. Xie Yunshu doesn't look like he'll be fooled that easily."

Because they only rolled half of the window, Xie Yunshu and Song Qianqian didn't see that there was another member of the Cheng family sitting in the back of the car. This person was the most promising member of the Cheng family, Cheng Zhaohui, who was currently the chief designer of the Beijing North Architectural Design Institute.

But what they didn't know was that, in fact, Cheng Jiangnan had the final say in the entire Cheng family, especially after the collapse incident a few years ago. If it was Cheng Jiangnan who made the plan, the Cheng family would have been finished that time.

Not to mention being the chief designer, Cheng Zhaohui might have to spend the rest of his life behind bars. It is precisely because of this that he now listens to Cheng Jiangnan's words very much, even though Cheng Jiangnan has to call him brother.

"What if I sincerely cooperate with her and let her make money?" Cheng Jiangnan smiled softly: "Brother, last time Li Chuchu was just a Spring Festival Gala performance, the bait was enough to naturally be tempted. But this time, the development project in Jingbei has a profit of millions, even the Buddha would want to tempt me."

For a newly started private enterprise, Xie Yunshu's construction company's total profit was less than 100,000 yuan a year, and capital turnover was a problem. How could she be tempted?

Now he is signing a contract with Xie Yunshu in a disciplined manner, but no one can figure out the trick.

Cheng Zhaohui thought it made sense, but he was still a little relieved: "If we can bring down the Shen family this time, our Cheng family will never be able to make a comeback."

How he got the position of chief designer was known only to the Cheng family. Although it seemed very glorious, in fact, since there were few capable people in this generation, he was already in danger of being watched by all parties.

The seniors above had offended too many people in the past, and had no face at all. They were regarded as mortal enemies by both the Shen family and the Song family, and it was difficult to meet them.

The Song family was fine, after all, they were not involved in military and political affairs, and at most they were worthy of a title of high moral character and prestige, but the Shen family was the same.

The three brothers of the Shen family are here to defeat the Cheng family! Especially Shen Bai, who is so young and sits in the position of the municipal party committee. If he continues to be promoted, the Cheng family will be finished!

Cheng Jiangnan was anxious: "Brother, don't worry. There is no leaky iron bucket in this world. No matter how powerful the Shen family is, there are always weaknesses. Xie Yunshu is now the point that is easiest for us to break, because she is from Beijing."
