Chapter 76: Inhumanly Rich

“I don’t know, but I just feel like you’re not very active today.”

Liu Menglu said with a pouting lip.

“Men are only active when they are exercising or about to exercise. You’re not playing ball with me, how can I be active?”

Shen Yuan said with a half-smile.

“Shen Yuan, are all men as lecherous as you?”

Liu Menglu asked, blinking her beautiful eyes.

“How am I lecherous? I was talking about playing basketball.”

Shen Yuan felt a little wronged.

Liu Menglu rolled her eyes. “Cut the crap. You couldn’t even hold back in the coffee shop that time.”

Shen Yuan’s mouth twitched. He thought to himself that Liu Menglu would remember this for the rest of her life. He changed the subject, “Why are you so free these two days? You even have time to come out with me?”

Liu Menglu shook her head. “I’m not free. For you, I pushed back all those private training sessions.”

“Then how can I be so shameless?”

“If you feel bad about it, then treat me to a few more meals to compensate me!”

“No problem, I can treat you to a few hundred million at a time.”

“Get out of here!”

“…”

At noon, after having a barbecue meal, the two of them drove to the decoration company.

The few decoration companies recommended by Guan Shufang were not bad. Shen Yuan combined the information he found online and selected two companies with Class A qualifications. Both were national first-class qualification decoration enterprises with a good reputation in Star City.

The first one they were going to was Guanting Decoration Company. Its headquarters was located in a high-end office building in Meixi Lake. The surrounding area was full of residential communities, and several of them were newly opened. It seemed that their choice to set up the company here was also a well-thought-out decision.

The two of them parked their car in the underground parking lot, then took the elevator to the 19th floor. The receptionist at Guanting immediately greeted them with a professional smile.

“Hello, how can I help you?”

“My surname is Shen, I have an appointment,” Shen Yuan replied.

The receptionist’s professional smile became even more pronounced. “Hello, Mr. Shen, please come in.”

“Okay.”

Shen Yuan followed the receptionist into Guanting and took a quick look around. After all, for a high-end decoration company, the company’s interior design style was definitely its primary business card. From the front hall to the negotiation room, the decoration contained a variety of elements, presenting an effect that was both warm and homey, yet exquisite and luxurious.

It was also Liu Menglu’s first time in such a place. She silently followed beside Shen Yuan, unable to help but look around the company. It did indeed look quite high-end.

Just as they arrived at the door of VIP negotiation room No. 1, a female designer of about forty inside quickly stood up to greet them, extending her hand enthusiastically, “Hello, Mr. Shen, I am the chief designer of Guanting, my name is Fu Zhengmei.”

Ordinary clients did not require the chief designer to be present, but the decoration budget for Shen Yuan’s villa was 20 million. To reach this decoration amount, calculated according to the ordinary decoration of a hundred-square-meter house for an ordinary family, they would have to do at least dozens of sets.

So, Guanting Decoration did not dare to neglect such a heavyweight client.

“Hello.”

Shen Yuan shook hands with Fu Zhengmei faintly. “Let’s sit down. To make a long story short, I told you all my requirements yesterday. I’m here today to see the plan.”

“Okay.”

Fu Zhengmei pulled out chairs for Shen Yuan and Liu Menglu. After the two of them sat down, she sat down herself.

“Based on your budget and needs, we have come up with three design plans in different styles, all with renderings. You can take a look first to see which one you like the most. We will first determine the style, and then see if there are any areas that need to be adjusted.”

Fu Zhengmei opened her Macbook, then turned on the projector, and displayed the renderings of the European, light luxury, and new Chinese styles for Shen Yuan one by one.

If it were an ordinary client, they would not have produced renderings. If those clients had requested them, they would have had to pay an additional design fee.

But Shen Yuan’s budget was there. This kind of client must be served in all aspects. The market competition was so fierce now. If you didn’t do it, others would.

When the client compared and felt that the service was not in place, they would not place an order here.

“Shen Yuan, what’s your budget?”

Liu Menglu asked in a low voice. She didn’t know Shen Yuan’s budget yet, but looking at the renderings on the projector, she felt that each one was exquisite and beautiful.

“20 million.”

Shen Yuan replied faintly.

“20 million???”

Liu Menglu’s beautiful eyes widened, her expression full of disbelief.

The villa was over ten million, and the decoration was over twenty million. This house would cost over thirty million to live in!

‘Damn, this is truly inhumanly rich!’

She was still renting an apartment for less than 3,000 a month, but his house had four more zeros than hers!

Liu Menglu had still underestimated Shen Yuan. She had initially thought that the decoration would cost a few million at most, but it turned out that his decoration budget was higher than the house itself.

To spend over thirty million so casually, his net worth must be at least a hundred million, right?

Liu Menglu couldn’t help but take a few more glances at Shen Yuan. She suddenly felt that her previous tactics were not enough. It seemed she had to step up her game!

Shen Yuan was focused on the renderings and didn’t pay much attention to Liu Menglu’s expression. Finally, he fixed his gaze on the rendering of the new Chinese style.

“Please introduce this new Chinese style.”

“Okay.”

Fu Zhengmei smiled brightly. “The new Chinese style combines modern minimalist concepts, abandoning the cumbersome and complex nature of traditional Chinese style. It pays more attention to clean lines, with a color palette that is mainly elegant and natural. The furniture is all traditional Chinese wooden furniture, combined with modern craftsmanship…”

Fu Zhengmei’s introduction was very detailed, from the choice of wood, to the lighting, to the functional areas, as well as the special craftsmanship required for this style. She explained everything clearly, and even Shen Yuan, a layman, understood.

“Okay, let’s go with this style then.”

Shen Yuan nodded.

“Okay, this is the preliminary rendering. We will also need to produce a detailed plan based on your budget, with a detailed breakdown of the costs for building materials and furniture, and then verify and settle it with you.”

“Actually, with your budget, you can use top-tier brands for furniture and building materials.”

Fu Zhengmei said with a relaxed and happy expression. She felt that she was a few steps closer to closing the deal, and she found this Mr. Shen even more pleasing to the eye.

Shen Yuan nodded. “Okay, I have an appointment with another decoration company. I have to go over later. I will make a decision after comparing the final plans from both of you.”

“Of course, that’s no problem. It’s always good to shop around.”

Fu Zhengmei smiled and then said, “I wonder if you have time tonight? Our boss, Mr. Wan, would like to treat you to a meal. I hope you can honor us with your presence.”

“Regardless of whether a deal is made or not, our Mr. Wan would like to make a friend of you.”

“Dinner?”

Shen Yuan thought for a moment. He didn’t really have anything to do in the evening, but it wasn’t appropriate to agree since he hadn’t placed an order with them yet.

“Mr. Shen, please don’t feel burdened. It’s just that our boss simply wants to make friends with you.”

Fu Zhengmei continued to persuade him.

“Alright then.”

Shen Yuan felt that this boss was quite sincere, so it would be fine to meet him for a meal.

“Then let’s add each other on WeChat. I’ll send you the location of the restaurant. Also, for the follow-up plan, it will be easier for us to communicate.”

“Okay.”

After some more small talk, Fu Zhengmei escorted Shen Yuan and the other person from the company to the underground parking lot. She only went back up to the company after Shen Yuan had driven away.

‘This big moneybags, I really have to serve him well!’

‘A twenty-million-yuan decoration, more expensive than the villa itself. He’s really not an ordinary rich kid!’

After returning to the office area, Fu Zhengmei knocked on the door of General Manager Wan Renmin’s office.

“Mr. Wan, Mr. Shen has already agreed to have dinner tonight.”

Fu Zhengmei nodded slightly.

Wan Renmin was about fifty years old. He had maintained his figure quite well. Except for some gray hair and a few more wrinkles on his skin, he was more like a young man in spirit.

“Good. Since we can have a meal together, the chances of closing the deal will be greater. We can’t let such a big client go to another place to close the deal, haha~”

Wan Renmin smiled kindly. Making friends was indeed one aspect, but more importantly, it was to close this order.

The home decoration business was not doing well now, especially a large order of 20 million like this was even rarer.

The gross profit of one order was about 30%, and the net profit was about 10%-15%.

But even calculated at 10%, it could still generate at least 2 million in revenue for the company, so it was not unworthy to treat the client to a meal to increase the closing rate.

“This Mr. Shen also brought a woman with him just now,” Fu Zhengmei added.

“Are they boyfriend and girlfriend?”

Wan Renmin asked.

Fu Zhengmei shook her head. “They don’t look like it.”

Wan Renmin pondered for a long while before saying, “Let’s ask Su Xuewei to come to dinner tonight.”

Fu Zhengmei was slightly taken aback. “She’s still an intern and has never attended such a social event.”

Wan Renmin waved his hand. “It’s okay, she’ll have to socialize sooner or later. If the conversation goes well tonight, you can see if the second half should be arranged at a business KTV or a bar. I heard that young people like bars now. We can ask Mr. Shen’s opinion then.”

“Okay.”
