Manager Han pointed to the rendering and said happily, "Xiao Li, this is exactly the effect I wanted! I've seen the drawings from the designers in Hong Kong, and they're nowhere near as good as yours!"
Jiang Xiaoli smiled and said, "Uncle Han, don't worry. We've come up with four plans in total. This is just one of them. Would you like to take a look at the others?"
Manager Han exclaimed in surprise, "There are others? Quickly, let me see them!"
Xue Bin quickly found the other three design renderings and placed them in front of Manager Han. "Manager Han, these are the other three designs. We have designed a total of four decoration plans, each with a different style, so that the client has more choices."
Manager Han looked through the images one by one, and after a while, he lightly tapped the rendering of the modern light luxury style with his finger.
"Old Xiao, Little Li, the surprise you two gave me today is quite something! These four design plans are way better than those in Hong Kong! I want to place an order right now."
But we also need to make them lose convincingly, so they understand how they died, right? Xiao Li, give me a definite answer: when will the design plans for all the apartment layouts be ready?
Jiang Xiaoli spent nearly 20 days working on these design drawings and received high praise from her employer, which made her very happy.
After thinking for a moment, she asked, "Uncle Han, if we make four design plans for each of the seven apartment types, we can probably show you all the first drafts by the beginning of next month. Do you mean you want to hold a design competition earlier than planned?"
The original deadline for the competition was the end of November, which was already quite tight. If the competition had to be moved up... Jiang Xiaoli suddenly felt a headache coming on.
Manager Han smiled and nodded, "Yes, after seeing your design today, I feel there's no suspense left in this competition. If possible, I'd like to finalize things as soon as possible, so the project can start construction in mid-December."
Jiang Xiaoli understood his eagerness, but time was really tight, and she could only do her best.
"Uncle Han, we'll try our best to catch up. But to be honest, even if we try, we won't be able to advance the deadline by much. Besides, the design team in Hong Kong probably won't accept the request to hold an early competition, right?"
Her words made Manager Han sigh deeply, "Yes... never mind, you guys should take your time and strive for perfection. Sigh, these people in Hong Kong are really... unbelievable! Their efficiency is so low, they're so slow and indecisive, not at all efficient!"
Xiao Jincheng chimed in, "Old Han, good things often come to those who wait! Give Xiao Li and the others more time, and they can refine the drawings for you. Let's prove our skills and talent and give those people from Gangcheng a piece of our minds! Just imagine how awesome that would be! Isn't it?"
Upon hearing this, Manager Han felt as if he could visualize the scene. He chuckled twice, "Yes, yes, yes, we have to show these arrogant people that there's always someone better!"
He picked up a few more drawings and looked at them for a while before reluctantly putting them down. "Great, great! Hey, Xiao Li, Xiao Xue, come on, I'll treat you to lunch to treat you!"
Jiang Xiaoli hesitated for two seconds. She had originally planned to visit a few other steamed bun shops at noon to check on their opening status, but Manager Han's enthusiastic invitation forced her to abandon her original plan.
It was Xiao Jincheng who brought up the steamed bun shop.
As he was going downstairs, he patted Jiang Xiaoli on the shoulder and said, "Xiaoli, did several of your steamed bun shops open at the same time today? I saw two of them when I passed by, and there were long queues in front of them. It made me want to join the queue and buy a few steamed buns to eat."
Jiang Xiaoli beamed upon hearing this, "Yes, Uncle Xiao, ten stores are opening today. I wonder how well they'll do. Let's see how things go this afternoon."
Xue Bin chimed in, "Miss Jiang, don't worry, only a fool wouldn't like such delicious buns!"
Manager Han, who was listening from the side, was a little confused. "From what I'm hearing, Xiao Li's steamed bun shop is opening today?"
Jiang Xiaoli replied with a smile, "Yes, Uncle Han, I wonder if you like steamed buns? 'Guizhi Steamed Bun Shop' opened ten new stores today, bringing the total number of stores to 15. If you don't feel like cooking at home one morning, you can buy some and try them; they're delicious!"
Manager Han laughed and said, "Of course we have to try it! What are we waiting for? I'll have someone go and buy some to try later!"
Manager Han treated them to Sichuan cuisine for lunch. When they arrived at the restaurant, he slipped a waiter a tip and asked him to buy some steamed buns from the nearest "Guizhi Steamed Bun Shop".
It wasn't until they were almost finished with their meal that the waiter knocked on the door of the private room with a bag of steamed buns.
Manager Han frowned. "Why are you so slow? We've already finished eating, and you've only just come back from buying a steamed bun."
Xiao Jincheng quickly tugged at his arm, "Hey, Lao Han, it's really not his fault! You have no idea how popular Xiao Li's steamed bun shop is! I passed by two shops this morning, and there were long queues in front of each one. This young man must have queued for a long time to buy his steamed buns."
The waiter nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, Mr. Han, there were so many people buying steamed buns, I had to queue for a long time to finally get some."
Manager Han opened his mouth in surprise, then laughed and said, "A queue is good! A queue means Xiao Li's steamed bun shop is doing well. Come, come, let me try what these steamed buns with such a long queue taste like."
He slipped a small tip to the waiter before taking the bag, randomly picked one out, and took a bite.
Simple steamed buns, but incredibly delicious. He exclaimed, "I was really full just now, but these buns make me feel like I could eat two more. There's definitely a reason for queuing!"
Xiao Jincheng also took a bun from the bag, took a bite, and said, "I haven't had one in a long time, and I've been craving it. Now it's great, there's a newly opened store near my house. By the way, Xiaoli, are there any stores near 'Champs-Élysées Renjia'? I don't want to move and then be unable to find buns when I want them."
Jiang Xiaoli smiled and said, "Uncle Xiao, there's a branch of 'Champs-Élysées Renjia' nearby, but if you want to eat there, why don't you just come to my place?"
After finishing a steamed bun, Xiao Jincheng slapped his forehead and laughed, "That's right! Once I move in, you guys will move in too, and we'll be neighbors. We can visit each other anytime, which is great. Your mom and your aunt can even go to school together. Hey, I have to say, they're really good friends now."
Speaking of this, Jiang Xiaoli was a little curious about the progress of her home renovation, as she had accompanied Zong Jia to see it once when they bought the house.
"Uncle Xiao, what's the progress of our house renovation? When can we move in?"
