Chapter 575: Long-lasting Friendship
Now everyone is very busy, and it is not so easy to get together. Cheng Hao is now more stable, with sharp eyes, but his body is still as straight as a pine tree, and the iron-blooded temperament in his bones occasionally leaks out.
"As expected of a young entrepreneur, his aura is extraordinary."
Listening to Dai Qing's teasing, Cheng Hao looked at her for a moment and laughed, "We know each other very well, you are making fun of me if you say that."
"What I said is true. I have heard about your iron fist in the capital over the past few years." Dai Qing smiled and took a sip from the cup. "By the way, regarding the house construction, have you hired a renovation team?"
She lives across the street from Cheng Hao's mother, so if possible, it would be easier to use a construction team.
"My mother's yard has already started construction, and it is estimated that it will be completed in another month."
As soon as his mother heard about the demolition, she hired a construction team and started adding to the house without even asking for his opinion.
"If you want to add two layers, even with some processing, it will take at least two months. There are many construction teams, I will find a few for you, you can choose one and start the work right away."
"Okay, I trust your judgment."
Whether it was work or anything else, as long as the person agreed, there would be no problem. She seldom came into contact with such people and didn't understand the market situation. With Cheng Hao's help, she could save a lot of trouble.
Hearing this, Cheng Hao looked up at her and nodded. After that, the two of them discussed the construction problem for a while and basically finalized the plan.
Cheng Hao looked down at the time and Dai Qing stood up immediately.
"You are busy with work, so I won't bother you. I'll contact you later."
"...There is indeed a meeting to be held. How about this, where are you staying? Let's have dinner together tonight?" Cheng Hao looked at her polite attitude and sighed silently.
"I'm staying in a hotel now, so I'm always available. But you're very busy, so I won't take up your time. When I'm settled, we can get together again."
Once the construction of the house starts, it will take a long time to finish. She can't live in a hotel all the time, so she has to rent a house temporarily and settle down.
Cheng Hao listened to Dai Qing's tone and spoke directly, "I happen to have a vacant room. I'll have someone clean it up. You can just move in directly. You don't have to rent a house anymore."
"No, this is not something that can be dealt with overnight. I can't keep bothering you. Besides, you're married now, so it's better to save yourself some unnecessary troubles."
It was fine before, they were both single, so it didn't matter how they met. But now that Cheng Hao was married and had children, she had to avoid suspicion appropriately.
"We are friends, there is no need to be so cautious, right?" Seeing her serious attitude, Cheng Hao laughed, thinking that Dai Qing was too serious.
"Because we are friends, I cannot cause you any trouble." In her heart, Cheng Hao is her elder brother, or even her best friend, but she still has to pay attention to what she should pay attention to.
It's okay for her to be single, but it's different for Cheng Hao to have a family.
Cheng Hao couldn't persuade her, so he had to give up.
After Dai Qing returned to the hotel, she called Juanzi and asked her to help find a house nearby to rent for three months, preferably one that could be moved in right away.
Juanzi was very happy to hear Dai Qing's request for help, as it was finally time for her to be of use.
In just one day, Juanzi found the right one for her.
It was a two-bedroom, one-living room house with all the appliances, all brand new. Dai Qing looked around and was very satisfied.
"Thank you, it's a nice house."
Hearing this, Juanzi chuckled and said, "To tell you the truth, no one has lived in this house since it was renovated. You are the first one to live in it."
Dai Qing was stunned. "What do you mean?"
"This house was originally a wedding house for the couple to use for their wedding, but for some reason they had a quarrel before the wedding and parted ways, leaving the house unused."
The bride left, the groom was sad and didn't want to live in the house anymore. It has been vacant for half a year, and now he wants to rent it out.
Hearing this, Dai Qing expressed her understanding, "The sadness of these two people... is really a good thing for me."
"Don't worry, you can stay as long as you want. We are close to each other and you don't have to cook. You can come to my house for dinner in the future."
Juanzi said this with a smile, and cleaned the house quickly. Dai Qing went out to buy a new set of bedding and checked out of the hotel that night.
In the following time, Dai Qing began to busy herself with building the house.
When people get busy, they have no idea what to do. It is common for them to go out in the morning and come back in the evening. As for the question of going to Juanzi's house for dinner, Dai Qing did not bother her.
Her schedule is different from Juanzi's family's. Forcing them to stay together would only cause trouble.
Besides, she didn't want to cause trouble for Juanzi.
After being so busy for more than a month, the house began to take shape and Dai Qing could finally breathe a sigh of relief. Taking advantage of her free time, she found a small specialty restaurant and made an appointment with Cheng Hao, Zhang Baoping and Chang Hui to have a small gathering.
"Haha, Xiaoqing, I heard from Brother Hao that you were back, but I couldn't see you. I thought you had forgotten about us." Zhang Baoping complained as soon as he came in.
"No, I'm busy. I just got some free time and called you here."
Dai Qing poured him a drink and chuckled.
"Besides, each of you is busier than me, and I'm really afraid of disturbing your time."
"Hey~, actually we don't have much to do. There are only so many things to do every day. We are used to it."
As they were talking, the door was pushed open again. Chang Hui stood at the door and grinned at Dai Qing.
"Xiaoqing, it's been ages since we last met."
"Brother Chang, I've said I'd come to see you several times, but in the end nothing happened. I'm really sorry."
"We are all old friends, there is no need to say anything rude." He understood that everyone was busy.
When Cheng Hao arrived, the dishes had already been served, and Zhang Baoping started talking to him as soon as he entered the room.
"Xiao Qing finally came back, but you, a workaholic, didn't even take a break. It's hard for us to find you at ordinary times, but you didn't even give Xiao Qing face. That's a bit too much."
"Stop talking nonsense, I'll give him three cups of wine later."
He often leans back in his chair, rubbing his lighter in his hand. This is a bad habit he has from smoking.
Cheng Hao was helpless when his brothers criticized him verbally and in writing.
"It is indeed my fault. I had to attend two extra meetings today. I will punish myself later."
Listening to their quarrel, Dai Qing couldn't help but curl her lips. These people were the first group of friends she made, and now they have become old friends.
"Times have changed. Being busy is more rewarding. I'd like to take this opportunity to toast you all." Dai Qing picked up the glass, stood up, and gestured to the others.
"No need to toast, let's drink together and wish our friendship lasts forever." Zhang Baoping picked up the wine glass and laughed.
The four wine glasses clinked together, making a crisp sound, and several people smiled at each other.
