After Li Manshu was transferred to this company, she temporarily served as Ai Yongyi\'s assistant. For her, this was an excellent opportunity because Aimee is a very senior designer in the industry, and working with her could be very educational.

Even if she couldn\'t learn much, it would still burnish her resume, an exceedingly rare work experience.

After entering the negotiation room and exchanging pleasantries, they quickly got down to business.

"Miss Meng, this is my design fee proposal for your review," Aimee began as she handed Meng Yuyu a quotation, which included her personal resume and design fee proposal.

For flats, it\'s 380 yuan per square meter.

For villas, it\'s 460 yuan per square meter.

This pricing was reasonable and much more affordable than those well-known top designers.

Even so, the design fee for a 688-square-meter house would be around 260,000 yuan.

But for the current Meng Yuyu, this was no problem; Yang Hao had told her to spend based on a 20-million budget, so the design fee of 260,000 was just a drop in the bucket.

"Miss Meng, what\'s the situation with your house?" Ai Yongyi asked after Meng Yuyu reviewed the quotation.

"It\'s a flat, 688 square meters." Meng Yuyu set down the quotation and replied indifferently.

At this reply, Li Manshu, who was taking notes on the side, was startled and asked instinctively, "Is it Star Cloud Bay?"

"Mhm." Meng Yuyu nodded, then glanced at Li Manshu, impressed that she could guess the name of the neighborhood from the size of the house—it was quite professional.

In contrast, Li Manshu was filled with envy when she looked back at Meng Yuyu. Just a few days ago, she had seen a vlog about receiving a house in Star Cloud Bay and had even sent a private message to the wealthy owner, which went ignored.

At the time, she had wondered what kind of women would be around such high-level tycoons.

Now she had met one—the young and beautiful girl in front of her was an owner in Star Cloud Bay!

Both were women, yet why was her life so much better?

Li Manshu silently lamented in her heart.

When Ai Yongyi heard about the house\'s situation, a radiant smile appeared on her face.

Star Cloud Bay, 688 square meters!

That was a big deal!

Moreover, landing this deal would also be a recognition of her capabilities.

In Ai Yongyi\'s view, such high-level tycoons would not limit themselves to just one design firm.

"Miss Meng, I have many design examples for large spaces. Please have a look first."

"Manshu, start the projection."

After Ai Yongyi gave the instruction, Li Manshu drew the curtains of the negotiation room and turned on the projector, beginning to display the design work examples.

Ai Yongyi stood in front of the screen, explaining each style one by one.

This process went on for nearly an hour, and she put in a lot of effort.

"Miss Meng, if you have any questions or requests, feel free to mention them," Ai Yongyi said after she finished the presentation, taking her seat opposite Meng Yuyu again.

"I only have one requirement—speed!"

"How soon can you come up with a design plan if I use your company?" Meng Yuyu asked in a scrutinizing tone, exercising her authority as the client.

"About a week," Ai Yongyi initially wanted to say ten days, but the client\'s requirement was speed, so she proactively cut it down by three days.

"Work some overtime, five days," Meng Yuyu interjected.

"If that\'s acceptable, we can sign the contract right away."

Meng Yuyu cut the time by another two days, as she didn\'t want to waste too much time on the design.

"This..."

Ai Yongyi hesitated for a moment, then bit the bullet: "Alright. But I need to take measurements on-site as soon as possible, or else I won\'t be able to proceed with the subsequent work."

"No problem, I\'ll take you there once we\'ve signed the contract."

"OK, it\'s a deal!"

Ai Yongyi stood up from her seat and, with a smile, extended her right hand.

"Pleasure doing business with you."

Meng Yuyu shook hands with the designer, who spoke with a Hong Kong accent.

Afterward, they signed the contract, and Meng Yuyu paid a quarter of the design fee as a deposit.

Once the contract was signed.

The four of them left the company together, ready to head to Star Cloud Bay.

Ai Yongyi had her own car, a Tesla Model Y.

By a twist of fate, her car was parked right next to Meng Yuyu\'s Mercedes GLC.

Seeing the young and attractive owner of Star Cloud Bay get into her brand-new Mercedes, Li Manshu couldn\'t help but feel envious again.

"Manshu, do you think Miss Meng is the main wife?" inside the Tesla Model Y, Ai Yongyi asked with a smile—it seemed the Design Director quite enjoyed gossip.

"She must be!" Li Manshu thought that Meng Yuyu\'s overall qualities were quite good, and she seemed gentle, probably the type that rich tycoons would like.

"You guessed wrong; the chances are she\'s not," Ai Yongyi said cheerfully.

"Why is that?" Li Manshu asked, puzzled.

"Firstly, there\'s no wedding ring on her finger."

"Secondly, throughout the conversation, she never used terms like \'my husband\' or \'my hubby.\'

"And then there\'s her aura, she lacks that demeanor that only a legitimate wife possesses. I\'ve seen many wealthy matrons, and the kind of aura they emanate from the inside out is something she doesn\'t have."

Ai Yongyi gave three reasons.

"Aimee, you\'re pretty amazing to have noticed all that."

Li Manshu\'s words were not just flattery; she hadn\'t thought of any of it.

"The more you see, the easier it becomes to tell."

"But her sugar daddy really is a tycoon, just the decoration budget is as much as twenty million..."

Ai Yongyi let out a sigh of amazement.

"And that house is going to cost about forty million."

"So that means he\'s invested sixty million just on this house; he must be a billionaire," Li Manshu speculated.

"Of course!"

"At the very least, he must have a few billion to his name."

"We really can\'t comprehend the world of the wealthy."

Ai Yongyi shook her head, the more wealthy people she met, the more she found herself sighing like this.

Inside the Mercedes GLC.

"Yuyu, just the design fee is over 260,000, isn\'t that too expensive?"

Yu Lili still had the mindset of a poor person; she felt that a design costing 260,000 was practically robbery.

"Expensive?"

Hearing her say this, Meng Yuyu couldn\'t help but laugh: "Do you know how much Yang gave me as the budget?"

"How much?"

Yu Lili asked curiously.

"Take a guess..." Meng Yuyu wasn\'t in a hurry to give the answer.

"Two million??"

Yu Lili was still trapped in a poor person\'s way of thinking. In her view, soft furnishings costing two million was already astronomic.

Actually, she wanted to guess one million, but since Meng Yuyu asked her to guess, she assumed the budget must be very high, so she added another million.

But hearing this number, Meng Yuyu laughed again: "Lili, let me tell you, I just went out and bought three beds and three mattresses, spending a total of 2.4 million!"

"What??"

Yu Lili thought she had heard wrong; her eyes widened to the point they almost popped out of their sockets.

Meng Chacha was quite pleased with her plastic best friend\'s reaction.

Sometimes that\'s what best friends are for, to play along when you\'re showing off.

Otherwise, who would you be showing off to!

"Three beds and mattresses actually cost 2.4 million?"

"Are they made of gold??"

Yu Lili was incredulous.

"It\'s my first time buying something so expensive too!"

"The main issue is that Yang gave me too much budget, I wouldn\'t even know how to spend it all if I didn\'t do this..."

Having said that, this Meng Chacha also let out a troubled sigh, feigning distress.

Yu Lili had no mind to criticize her plastic best friend\'s pretentious behavior, she just wanted to know how much budget this godlike Yang had actually given.

"So, how much is Yang\'s budget exactly?"

Now, at a red light, beginner driver Meng Chacha gave a smirking smile and stretched out two fingers, then said nonchalantly, "Twenty million."

Fuck!!!

Yu Lili couldn\'t hold back and cursed outright.

She was kind of regretting her day off. From the presidential suite in the morning, she had been repeatedly blindsided by her plastic best friend!!

But, it also broadened her horizons. It was her first time entering a presidential suite. She took a lot of photos and even freeloaded a luxurious breakfast at the five-star hotel\'s presidential suite!

Then she went along to experience the entire process of picking up a Mercedes, and now she was about to witness the true face of Star Cloud Bay\'s 688-square-meter mansion...

Alright, to be able to pretend and ride the secondhand wave, it was worth taking a few hits.

"Yang gave you all of the twenty million?"

Yu Lili calmed her emotions and asked again.

"Not really, he transferred five million to me yesterday. He said to tell him when it\'s spent, and I still have half left." Meng Yuyu shook her head slightly.

"Five million..."

Yu Lili rubbed her forehead; the numbers coming out of Meng Yuyu\'s mouth felt somewhat fantastical to her at this point.

"Yuyu, since Yang has left the decoration up to you and even given you a twenty million budget, you could totally make some money!"

"Yang wouldn\'t possibly scrutinize every expense you have," Yu Lili said with shining eyes, as if she had discovered a path to wealth.

Upon hearing this, Meng Yuyu glanced at her plastic best friend and couldn\'t help but sneer internally: Your ambitions are so small!

While internally criticising, she said aloud, "Yang trusts me, that\'s why he did this, and I can\'t let down his trust!"

"Yuyu, you\'re too naïve!"

"What trust, the money in your hand is what\'s real!"

"Too bad I don\'t have such an opportunity..." Yu Lili sighed with regret.

Meng Yuyu, on the other hand, was disdainful and chose not to continue the topic.

Soon, both cars arrived at Star Cloud Bay. Meng Yuyu\'s car wasn\'t registered and couldn\'t go into the underground parking, so they had to park outside the community first.

Then the group of four entered the community through the main gate.

"Wow, this landscaping is too amazing, it\'s like a park!"

Walking through the lush greenery, Yu Lili couldn\'t help but exclaim.

"It\'s really good!"

Li Manshu nodded subconsciously in agreement, it was also her first time entering the legendary Star Cloud Bay, and the interior environment far exceeded her expectations.

The truth is, with such a large green space, the developer could have built two or three additional buildings, but they chose not to. Instead, they made the building spacing a hundred meters, ensuring even the lower floors wouldn\'t need to worry about natural light, and they created a greenery rate of up to 70%!

That\'s why expensive things have their reasons. Wealthy people are not fools; the things they are willing to pay for always have merit!
