So Ai Xiaoxia asked Sun Qiang: "Qiangzi, is that second-floor building at the back a warehouse?"
Sun Qiang said: "Yes, I brought it with me when I bought this hotel, but it's not very suitable for the street, and there's nothing useful for it, so I put it in the warehouse first."
Ai Xiaoxia knew it was time for her to shine. She said, "Although the house doesn't completely face the street, the main door can be opened next to the hotel. If it's well designed, and some details are added to the main door and the entrance, it could become a highlight. I have some ideas. Let's just chat. What do you think?"
"Sister-in-law, you say." Sun Qiang said humbly.
"I've seen in magazines that many high-end hotels have swimming pools, but if it's not cost-effective to build an additional swimming pool now, would it be okay to turn it into a high-end bathing center? That kind of luxurious entertainment and leisure place with a sweat steamer and amusement area. This way, not only will hotel customers relax, but local people may also come directly to the hotel to book a room after coming here for bathing and entertainment. What do you think?" Ai Xiaoxia said.
When she saw this place, she had some ideas, such as KTV, bar, etc., but she didn't know how good the sound insulation would be at that time. If the sound insulation was not good, it would affect the hotel, so she finally thought that a bath center would be more suitable.
Bathing centers in the north became very luxurious and high-end after several decades, and the construction of a bathing center was not that difficult. She could just draw what she had in mind. Of course, she didn't understand construction and had to find a professional. But with her painting skills, it was not difficult for her to draw the appearance of those high-end places she had seen in her previous life.
Sun Qiang's eyes lit up after hearing what Ai Xiaoxia said: "Sister-in-law, your brain is really suitable for business. I will find someone to design it soon. However, if we invest more, we may not get any money by the end of the year."
Ai Xiaoxia smiled and said, "Originally, this money wasn't in our plan." Then she added, "How about this? Take me to measure the dimensions, and I'll make a rough design. Then you can take my drawings and find someone who knows about renovations to set up a plan."
Although she worked as a graphic designer in her previous life, she did some exhibition stand design during her internship. That required her to measure the actual dimensions and then design, so she understood these basic and simple things.
Sun Qiang looked at Ai Xiaoxia with some doubt: "Sister-in-law, are you sure you can do this?"
Ai Xiaoxia smiled: "I've learned some, self-taught, I'll give it a try first. Anyway, I have to come next Monday, so it won't delay anything if I can't. It'll just be these two days."
Sun Qiang didn't want to discourage Ai Xiaoxia: "Okay, then I'll find a ruler and we'll go take a look."
The two of them took paper, pen and measuring tape, went downstairs and walked towards the warehouse.
Ai Xiaoxia looked at the location of the gate again. It was not small and could be used to make a beautiful doorhead. Then, the road inside could be made into a glass-topped landscape path with some beautiful tropical plants on both sides, giving it a Hawaiian style.
When they arrived at the warehouse, Ai Xiaoxia first drew the front exterior, determined the number of windows, the location of the entrance door, and then went in to draw a floor plan of the first floor.
As she painted, she felt more and more that this place was suitable for a bathing center because there were few small windows, the walls were very thick, there were not many partitions inside, and there was a lobby in the middle, which was very spacious.
While drawing, she also told Sun Qiang about her ideas.
The more Sun Qiang listened, the more interesting he found it. A general idea had already appeared in his mind, and he was now somewhat looking forward to it.
Two hours passed after drawing the floor plan and marking the dimensions. The two also shared a lot of their ideas, which made Sun Qiang admire Ai Xiaoxia even more.
Back at the hotel, Sun Qiang called Fang Lan'e to the office and went out, leaving the space to Ai Xiaoxia and Fang Lan'e.
Fang Lan'e was wearing work clothes and looked quite energetic. She came up to Ai Xiaoxia and said, "Xiaoxia, it's great to finally see you again."
Ai Xiaoxia looked at Fang Lan'e's mental state and was very pleased. She had changed a lot. "How have you been lately?"
"It's really great. I didn't know a person could live so comfortably."
"Sit down and talk."
The two sat on the sofa, and Fang Lan'e took Ai Xiaoxia's hand and said, "Xiaoxia, I've made up my mind. I want a divorce. From now on, I will live on my own and never return to Dawa Village."
Ai Xiaoxia didn't expect Fang Lan'e to make such a decision so quickly: "Have you really thought it through?"
"I'm going to die anyway at home, so I might as well give up all thoughts. I won't get married again in the future and will live my life well alone."
"Let's not talk about this for now, but divorce may not be as easy as you think."
"I know, so you must not tell my family where I'm going. My in-laws are anxious to have a grandchild. If I disappear for a year or two, they won't be able to wait and try to find a way to divorce me and remarry."
Ai Xiaoxia smiled after hearing Fang Lan'e's words: "You do understand them, so just stay here with peace of mind. No one will find you here. If someone finds you, go find Sun Qiang and ask him to hide you. We'll find a solution then."
Fang Lan'e said, "I've thought about it. If I can't hide here, then I'll go somewhere farther away. If that doesn't work, I'll go south. I can survive anyway, as long as I don't go back."
Ai Xiaoxia also saw that Fang Lan'e had given up on going back. She said, "Okay, if you have anything, please tell me. We are best friends."
Fang Lan'e nodded: "I know, Xiaoxia, I'm really happy for you. You found a good man. Look at you now, you're prettier than any girl in the city. You can tell you're living a good life."
Ai Xiaoxia couldn't say many things in her heart, but she admitted that Lu Jingshen's family were all good people: "Well, my man is pretty good."
"Then I'm relieved. I'm still at work. I won't say any more. Anyway, let's just trust each other."
"Well, you're right, let's trust each other."
Fang Lan'e stood up and hugged Ai Xiaoxia: "I'm going to work."
Ai Xiaoxia nodded: "Okay, I'll come to see you when I have time."
Watching Fang Lan'e leave, Ai Xiaoxia also smiled. The environment can really change a person.
Fang Lan'e went out for a while, and Sun Qiang came in. "Sister-in-law, you are dressed so beautifully today. Are you going to do a surprise inspection on Brother Shen?"
Ai Xiaoxia also laughed when she heard this: "Your sister-in-law is so outstanding, do you think she would still worry about this?"
Sun Qiang also smiled and shook his head. "Really, don't worry." Then he added, "It's been a while since I've seen you two. I won't be a third wheel today. We'll definitely have dinner together next Monday."
Ai Xiaoxia agreed: "Yes, of course."
After chatting and laughing for a while, Sun Qiang called, so Ai Xiaoxia said goodbye to Sun Qiang and left. There was no need for Sun Qiang to send her off, as it would not be difficult to take a taxi by herself, so she did not bother him.
She arrived at the door of the Urban Construction Bureau and after registering with the security guard, the security guard called Lu Jingshen's office.
