"Make way, make way, let his car in."
"Is that car really worth millions? My goodness!"
Hengzi parked the car with difficulty, got out, and gazed at his mother Xu Hong, who was stillughing and chatting with the people around her. He walked over and called out to her.
Seeing her son’s return, Xu Hong quickly stopped chatting and asked hurriedly, "Is my son back?"
Gu Heng nodded and then nced at the crowd, unable to help himself, he asked, "What’s going on here?"
"Isn’t it because of you?"
"Because of me?"
Gu Heng was even more confused...
Xu Hong gestured with her lips towards a spot not far away: "Those people have been measuring and surveying our yard since early morning. The vigers thought our house was going to be demolished and believed that the money for your expensive car came from the demolitionpensation. They are all here to ask what’s happening."
"???"
He hadn’t been home for years, and now rumors had be so preposterous?
He had merely hired a constructionpany to build a house for himself, and it had turned into rumors of demolition?
Not to mention the money for his car being said to be demolitionpensation...
In this remote vige, not to mention that it would take another 100 years before it’s their turn for demolition, even if it did happen, a householdpensation of a few hundred thousand would be the death of them, let alone millions for a Bentley?
"Xiaoheng, can you tell your aunt if our vige is going to be demolished? Starting with your house?"
"Yeah, Xiaoheng, we’re all from the same vige, you can’t hide it from us!"
Listening to the absurd questions around him, Gu Heng didn’t even know where to begin with his denials...
"Mr. Gu!!"
Fortunately, at this moment, a voice came from outside the crowd, followed by a man who ran excitedly up to Gu Heng.
Looking at the man d in a suit,pletely mismatched with the vige folks’ attire, Gu Heng filtered through his memory and asked with confusion, "Mr. Tang?"
The man was Tang Dabing from Wan’an Design and Construction Company whom he saw just yesterday.
"Mr. Gu can just call me Dabing."
Hearing the dialogue between the two, the surrounding vigers instinctively lowered the volume of their conversations...
But one could still catch an asional remark or two.
"Gu Heng has really made something of himself, did you hear what they called him? They called him Mr. Gu!"
"My son is also called President Xu outside!"
"Pull the other one, your son only runs a scrap recycling station in the county. Can the boss of a scrap recycling station even be called a boss?"
Ignoring thements, Gu Heng turned to Tang Dabing and asked, "Have you finished measuring?"
Tang Dabing nodded quickly and responded, "Almost. Based on the measurements just now, I’ve found that if we build based only on theyout of your old house, it definitely won’t be sufficient. Not to mention a courtyard with a garden, even the main body of the vi would seem very cramped.
If we want to fully realize the design from the blueprints, we need to extend at least six meters in depth and add seven to eight meters in width."
Having anticipated these issues earlier, Gu Heng knew that his family’s property size was more than enough to build a typical rural house with a courtyard, but definitely not enough for a vi with a garden courtyard.
With this in mind, Gu Heng said directly, "Don’t worry about this; just measure ording to thergest scale of the design. Whatever space is missing, just draw me a detailed blueprint."
"Yes, sir!"
As a viger himself, Tang Dabing quickly grasped Gu Heng’s intentions.
If Gu Heng could spend over two million to build a house, then why would he care about the cost ofnd?
No matter how expensivend is in the city, in the countryside, nothing is cheaper thannd.
Adding six meters in depth and seven to eight meters in width might sound like a lot, but in reality, it would cost at most a hundred thousand to acquire. Compared to the budget of 2.4 million for construction, that’s a drop in the ocean.
However, speaking of construction costs, Tang Dabing brought it up again: "But Mr. Gu, while we were measuring, we found that this area has a thinyer of soil. Considering the future stability of the house, I suggest we deepen the foundation by one-third. This will lead to increased material consumption, and the 2.4 million budget might not be enough."
"Didn’t I tell you? For material costs, calcte using the highest quality. No need to save money."
"Understood!"
Hearing Gu Heng’s words, Tang Dabing felt a spark of excitement.
As the construction party, they dislike clients who nitpick on every aspect, binding their hands and hindering performance.
Clients like Gu Heng, without a strict budget, truly allowed them to unleash their potential.
But Gu Heng was not a fool. He might be wealthy, but he certainly wouldn’t y the sucker. Once the project got underway, he nned to hire a professional auditingpany to oversee the entire process.
Earning his money was fine.
But if anyone thought about conning his money, they were dreaming.
"Then Mr. Gu, you go ahead with your business; I will continue to inspect the site and strive to perfect the design drawings as quickly as possible."
Gu Heng waved his hand, and Tang Dabing tactfully withdrew.
...
After Tang Dabing left, the surrounding vigers got excited all at once.
They had heard every word of Gu Heng’s conversation with Tang Dabing without any discount."
They may not have understood everything, but two key pieces of information were unmistakably heard.
Gu Heng was going to build a vi!
The vi would cost 2.4 million!
These two pieces of information put together were like a bomb thrown into water, creating a massive ssh...
"Hengzi? Is your family building a new house?"
N?v(el)B\\jnn
"Goodness me! 2.4 million, that’s enough to build ten houses like mine..."
"Not a demolition? I got excited for nothing!"
Gu Heng had predicted their reaction; he left the impressive act to his mother Xu Hong while he escaped the crowd and headed towards his own house...
