So the two of them performed a double act in front of Mr. Huo.

Song Qianqian was still a little nervous and spoke a little unsteadily, but she still memorized the 'lines': "When I was a child, my family lived near Jingshan Park. The old houses there were so beautiful, but unfortunately they are all gone now."

Xie Yunshu also recited the lines while holding his chin: "I like that place very much too. I even found a lot of old photos. One of them seems to be from before the founding of the People's Republic of China. It was called Donghuang Wamen. The old house there is really beautiful."

The two of them sang in unison, their voices neither too loud nor too quiet, just loud enough for Mr. Huo and his group to hear.

Song Qianqian glanced at Mr. Huo quietly and cleared her throat: "Really? Can I see the photo?"

Xie Yunshu took out the photo that she had prepared earlier from her bag, and then deliberately raised it higher: "Look, this is it."

The two men's performance was clumsy but very effective.

Mr. Huo was indeed attracted by the photo. One of the young men accompanying him, probably his assistant, stepped forward and asked politely in Chinese, "Hello, can we borrow this photo to take a look?"

Xie Yunshu and Song Qianqian exchanged a look of joy and quickly took the photo over: "Of course."

This photo was not easy to come by. Cheng Jiangnan's information was clearer than Song Qianqian's. It was written that Mr. Huo lived near Jingshan when he was a child. His ancestors were officials in the Qing Dynasty and lived in a house next to Donghuang Wamen. So if he wanted to restore the architectural style, it must be the same.

Mr. Huo stared at the photo for a long time. After a while, he stood up and walked towards Xie Yunshu: "Little girl, can you sell this photo to me?"

Xie Yunshu looked reluctant: "I have collected it for a long time!"

Mr. Huo looked at her and smiled: "You have collected it for a long time and brought it here again. What do you want me to do?"

Was their performance so bad that Mr. Huo saw through it at a glance?

Xie Yunshu reflected on his acting skills and touched his nose, a little embarrassed: "You see?"

Mr. Huo was not angry. The two girls' acting skills were indeed not very good. He was just curious about their purpose in looking for him. Many people came to him, but most of them were to discuss cooperation. These two girls did not seem like cooperation partners.

Since they were here, there was no point in talking about this and that, so Xie Yunshu simply took out his own design drawings and said, "Mr. Huo, please take a look at our company's architectural design drawings."

Are you really talking about cooperation?

Mr. Huo was a little hesitant, but the photo really touched him, so he took it and took a look at it.

But he only glanced at it for a few seconds, and he couldn't help but adjust his glasses: "This is..."

Xie Yunshu pointed to the blueprint and said, "If the Overseas Chinese Community is designed in this style, would you like it?"

Mr. Huo did not speak. His eyes were fixed on the design drawing. After looking at it for a while, he subconsciously turned the page and asked, "Is this the only one?"

"This is the general design drawing. The rest belongs to our company." Xie Yunshu explained, "If Mr. Huo likes it, I can bring all the design drawings."

This design really impressed him.

But Mr. Huo still shook his head: "I have reached a preliminary cooperation intention with the Architecture Institute, and I don't know you well, so I don't want to cooperate with an unfamiliar company."

Song Qianqian said at the right time: "Mr. Huo, do you know Master Song Zhangran?"

"Song Zhangran?" Mr. Huo's eyes lit up. "Of course I know that, but Professor Song is no longer involved in the design, and he said he would not cooperate with the Institute of Architecture."

Song Qianqian smiled slightly: "I am Professor Song's granddaughter, and this is Professor Song's only student now."

Mr. Huo was surprised for a moment: "Really?"

"Of course." Song Qianqian glanced at Xie Yunshu and said, "You can see that this design is definitely not worse than the one from the Architecture Institute. But for the sake of your investment project, why don't you hold a bidding meeting and let everyone compete fairly?"

Mr. Huo pondered for a moment and said nothing.

Xie Yunshu was very nervous. She took a deep breath and said, "Mr. Huo, we just want a fair chance to compete. It's just a place in the bidding meeting. If you still choose the Institute of Architecture at that time, we have nothing to say."

Mr. Huo asked, "Is your company a private enterprise?"

Xie Yunshu nodded: "Yes."

The Institute of Architecture is a state-owned enterprise. It is commendable that a private enterprise is brave enough to compete with a state-owned enterprise.

With the help of Song Zhangran, Mr. Huo finally nodded: "Then you wait for our bidding news, which will be announced at that time. Maybe you are not the only company to bid."

A stone in his heart finally fell to the ground. Xie Yunshu took a long breath and handed over the photo: "Mr. Huo, thank you."

Mr. Huo smiled and put the photo away: "I hope that your design will live up to Professor Song's reputation."

When coming out of the Foreign Affairs Hotel, Song Qianqian wiped the sweat off her head and said, "I'm so nervous. I wasn't this scared even during my final exams."

Xie Yunshu was a little worried: "But is it really okay for us to move Professor Song's name here?"

Song Zhangran rarely participates in design now, unless it is national-level architectural design, he has already retired, but now he is brought here by the two of them...

Song Qianqian smiled sweetly: "Don't worry, it's just a matter of causing trouble for the Cheng family. My grandfather will definitely agree with it, and he might even add insult to injury himself."

Xie Yunshu was really curious: "What kind of unforgivable evil did the Cheng family do to offend both Grandpa Shen and Professor Song at the same time."

Song Qianqian snorted: "Not only my grandfather and his family, it seems that Professor Li also hates the Cheng family the most!"

Professor Li? Isn't that Teacher Mingcheng?

Xie Yunshu didn't know why, but he suddenly had a feeling that the three old people hated the Cheng family so much, maybe it had something to do with Grandma Zhang...

The decoration of Haicheng New Hotel is finally completed. The decoration style is customized by Lin Cuiping. As soon as you enter the door, you can see one word everywhere: expensive!

And the dishes are all top-notch. Lin Cuiping is very demanding. If it were any other chef, he would have been fed up with it, but this chef is Song Shanchuan.

Song Shanchuan, who listened to Lin Cuiping the most, was not annoyed. He even worked overtime until 10 o'clock in the evening without a word of complaint. He also hoped that he could spend more time with Lin Cuiping and do so every day.

Lin Cuiping was slightly moved at the beginning, but now she likes Song Shanchuan more and more. The only shortcoming is that he is too shy.

At night, the two of them were in the hotel kitchen as usual, studying dishes. The door was ajar, with only a small light on overhead. The dishonest person was Lin Cuiping...
