Over the weekend, Chu Yu hosted a housewarming party at home, inviting relatives and friends over. Except for Chu Chu, who was filming on set, all the other family members came.
Chen Zhuyu brought red wine and scented candles, while Shulan brought some decorations. It was their first time there, and they were constantly surprised as they walked around the house. Reaching the second floor felt like opening the door to a new world.
"You even installed such a big round bathtub? This bathroom is really luxurious, very French style, and your shower looks so nice. This washbasin is even a double sink. To be honest, your decoration concept is a bit ahead of its time!" Shulan exclaimed.
Yan Hongzhe asked Chu Yu to reserve a duplex apartment for him. The apartment was about 170 square meters, and after renovation, it could be about 200 square meters. It also had a double-height space. This type of apartment design is very rare. As soon as the apartment was launched, wealthy people in Beijing rushed to reserve it.
Speaking of which, the real estate market in Beijing wasn't doing well this year, but the houses developed by Huachu Future were selling like hotcakes. Yan Hongzhe couldn't buy one and only managed to get one through Chu Yu's connections.
Their house is also being renovated, and Yan Hongzhe has also hired a designer. However, this designer is particularly slow in doing things, and Shulan is a little dissatisfied with her and wants to change designers.
"Is your designer expensive? How's your renovation team? I'd like to switch teams too."
Chu Yu was fairly satisfied with the design team. After all, design companies are not doing well these days, and there aren't many construction sites. The design company's employees were all focused on Chu Yu's construction site. In addition, Chu Yu was generous with his payments, and the team provided excellent service.
From beginning to end, Chu Yu didn't have to put in any effort at all.
However, since they've just moved in, it's uncertain whether any problems will arise later.
"It's alright, I can recommend it to you if you need it."
“You’re pushing this to me. I want to keep that double-height ceiling; it makes the house look grander. But if I keep it, the renovation will need to be carefully designed, otherwise no matter how much money I spend, it will still look tacky.”
Chu Yu agreed with Shu Lan. Home decoration requires a good eye; if you don't have good taste, no matter how much money you spend, you won't be able to decorate your home well.
"Have a designer create a drawing for you. Take a look at the general effect. If you think it's good, then use it. If not, scrap the design and start over until you're satisfied."
Shulan felt that good design was quite important, and the money was well spent. However, Chu Yu herself had good taste, and the designs here were all done according to her requirements.
Shulan took a good look at Chu Yu's study and bathroom, planning to take a picture and copy it when she got home.
Shen Zhuyu also wanted to buy a villa here. The houses here weren't selling particularly well because it wasn't part of Huachu Future's development. The houses in the complex were large, and there were still vacant houses even after two or three years of sales.
"Shulan, why don't we all buy a place here? You might as well not renovate your place either. We can all be buried in the same community, and we can take care of each other."
Shulan was taken aback; she was actually seriously considering the feasibility of this.
But houses in Beijing aren't cheap, and this villa would cost a lot of money. I can afford to buy the villa, but I can't afford to renovate it. The renovation would cost at least several million.
Shulan is actually quite wealthy, but she comes from a poor background and is reluctant to spend so much money on renovations, so she asked Yan Hongzhe for his opinion.
"I really can't bear to spend money on renovations."
Yan Hongzhe smiled and made the decision: "Buy it! I'll pay for it!"
Shulan's eyes widened. "Isn't your money my money? I just think I shouldn't waste money."
Yan Hongzhe smiled, seemingly unconcerned. What were a few million? If Hongyu went public, it would be worth tens or hundreds of billions, so they didn't care about this small amount of money at all.
Besides, they are already quite well-off, so there's no need for them to live too frugally. Shulan is being too hard on herself. Although they are young, if they save money their whole lives, who will they leave it to? Rather than leaving it to their children and her future partner, they might as well spend some on themselves.
After hearing what he said, Shulan changed her mind and agreed to buy a villa in Chu Yu's neighborhood with Shen Zhuyu.
