"Of course, I'd love to." Cheng Jiangnan smiled softly: "Why don't I drive you there?"

Xie Yunshu also smiled sweetly at him: "Thank you, Mr. Cheng."

She was very beautiful. Unlike the girls who were children of high-ranking officials in the Beijing North Compound, she had a wild and vigorous spirit. It was also the first time she smiled at Cheng Jiangnan like this.

Cheng Jiangnan's heart moved slightly, and his eyes fell on her face. At this moment, he seemed to understand why Shen Subai would marry her. She was indeed too beautiful to attract people.

Xie Yunshu had already opened the car door and sat in the back seat, as if he was treating Chen Jiangnan as a driver: "Please drive."

Cheng Jiangnan lowered his head and chuckled. For such a beautiful woman, it would be okay for him to be a driver. However, when he thought that her beautiful little face would probably be filled with panic soon, he felt a little reluctant.

Along the way, Xie Yunshu kept looking for topics, most of which revolved around this project, trying to learn as much information as possible.

For example, what kind of trap did Cheng Jiangnan set when he insisted on asking her to sign the contract?

Unfortunately, Cheng Jiangnan was very careful with his words and was much smarter and more cunning than Cheng Zhaohui. Xie Yunshu said a lot but didn't get any useful information out of him.

The bidding venue was in the government office, and Cheng Jiangnan's identity made it difficult for him to enter. He had always been behind the scenes, and the person in front of the scenes was Cheng Zhaohui.

When Xie Yunshu entered, Song Qianqian, Han Jinghe and Ren Pingsheng were already sitting opposite him. Today, they were responsible for explaining the design concept. Mr. Huo sat in the investment position, with several government workers next to him.

Although Cheng Zhaohui knew that Xie Yunshu was coming, he obviously had no intention of letting her speak. It was already ridiculous to let a woman come in such a large occasion. If he asked her to speak on behalf of the Institute of Architecture, wouldn't she be laughed to death?

He just nodded at Xie Yunshu, and didn't even prepare a seat for her. He just asked her to sit aside and wait. His reason was also perfunctory: "Miss Xie, you should speak up when you need it. Otherwise, you will make mistakes and make people laugh at you."

Xie Yunshu curled his lips: "Of course, I'm just learning and won't speak casually."

Cheng Zhaohui curled his lips inwardly, but he was still quite self-aware.

Both parties at the bidding meeting submitted their design proposals first. Song Qianqian had a very complete stack of information, including not only the general design description and floor plan, but also the design drawings and renderings of individual buildings.

The designers at the Institute of Architecture were also very confident. Although their design drawings were not as detailed as the other party's, how could a little girl compare to their years of experience? Although there were no highlights in the design drawings brought by Xie Yunshu, at least there was absolutely no mistake to be found.

Isn't it enough to follow the rules? The name of their architectural institute is here, like a living sign.

However, they obviously do not understand the importance of conservative design and blindly pursue innovation, which makes loopholes more likely to appear. When the time comes, they will pick a few at random and they will have nothing to say.

The representative who spoke was naturally Cheng Zhaohui. As the chief designer, he was quite capable. After only looking at the design drawings a few times, he quickly organized his words: "Mr. Huo found that our design will definitely give you a satisfactory answer in terms of both effect and investment."

He talked a lot, but to Xie Yunshu, it was more of a big deal than a lot of actual content. This wasn't surprising, because the design she gave Cheng Jiangnan was very ordinary...

Cheng Zhaohui spoke with full confidence. He took a sip of water from the teacup and looked at Song Qianqian: "I wonder how your company's design is?"

Song Qianqian often speaks at school and has been to many big occasions with her grandfather. She stood up and spoke eloquently without any stage fright: "The concept of our design is to restore the past and connect the future. This design adopts a combination of ancient palace and modern style, and we have made comprehensive considerations based on the location, terrain and environment of the community..."

She spoke slowly, in a way that was easy to understand but very professional. Compared to Cheng Zhaohui's empty rhetoric, she was much more pragmatic.

Cheng Zhaohui's face gradually turned ugly. He glanced at the two designers next to him and said in a low and urgent voice: "Hurry up and find their loopholes!"

The two designers were almost dazzled by the design, and finally they could only say one thing: "Will the cost of such a design be too high? And it will also require a lot from the construction company..."

Mr. Huo interrupted them and said, "As long as the case is good, I don't mind making additional investments."

Cheng Zhaohui was about to vomit to death. They found a fault with it, but it actually affirmed their design proposal.

He is also a designer, how could he not see how outstanding his design is? This is definitely not something that Song Qianqian designed with a few college students!

Cheng Zhaohui was worried. Could it be that Song Zhangran broke his promise and participated in this design?

The result of the bidding will not be known for a few days, during which time Xie Yunshu suddenly had some free time.

She went to Beijing University, but found that her brother was even busier than her, the "big boss". Every day he was either in the laboratory or on the way to the Academy of Sciences. If she wanted to see him, she had to make an appointment in advance.

So most of the time, she was with Song Qianqian. Both of them studied architectural design, so they naturally had a lot of common topics. Occasionally, when she met Chen Jingxue in college, the two of them would eat together in the cafeteria.

As for the situation on Shen Huan's side, Xie Yunshu still listened to what Chen Jingxue said: "Mother and child are still in the hospital, but Shen Huan wants to divorce Zhao Youan, and Second Aunt disagrees."

Song Qianqian, who was standing by, pricked up her ears, looking like she wanted to hear more but was embarrassed: "Why don't you agree?"

Even she felt that it was not a good match for the granddaughter of the Shen family to find such a partner. Not to mention the couple's family background, this person's character was not reliable! How could a girl get pregnant just after getting married? In a few months, Shen Huan, who was pregnant, went to the hospital twice, and this time she almost lost her life.

Any mother who loves her daughter would resolutely divorce, right?

Xie Yunshu couldn't figure out what Second Aunt Shen was thinking. Was face more important than her daughter? The granddaughter of the Shen family was bullied to this extent. Even if she hated Shen Huan, she couldn't stand it anymore.

Her mother, Li Fenlan, who had also suffered the pain of a marriage and was a cowardly person, firmly supported her and Lu Zhixing's divorce.

Chen Jingxue shook her head: "I think it's probably because of the family compound and the child, right? But this time, I'm afraid it's not up to Second Aunt. Second Uncle is very determined to get a divorce, even if he doesn't want the house."
