I started by watching videos, and I chose 10,000 combat power.

After hanging up the phone, Luo Fei sat on a bamboo chair in the courtyard.

The parents were taking a nap in their room.

Luo Ying, the younger sister, was lying on the dining table, engrossed in watching videos on her phone, with a smile occasionally appearing on her face.

The effects of the Body Tempering Pill have greatly improved the condition of the whole family.

Luo Fei's thoughts, however, drifted elsewhere.

The parents refused to move to the villa permanently, preferring to stay in this old house and their few acres of land.

He understands and respects it.

But this old house is indeed too old.

The paint on the walls is peeling, the wiring is old, and the windows are not properly sealed, making it cold in winter and hot in summer.

My parents are getting older.

It's about time to renovate this old house properly.

Perhaps, we can tear it down and rebuild it.

Once the thought took hold, it became unstoppable.

He checked the time; it was just past 2 p.m.

My parents won't wake up for a while, so my younger sister is staying home with them.

I can go to the county to take care of a few things.

He got up, walked into the yard, and picked up the keys to the D9 car.

"Xiaoying, I'm going out for a bit to take care of something. Let me know when Mom and Dad wake up," Luo Fei said into the room.

"Okay! Brother, come back soon!" Luo Ying looked up and replied.

Luo Fei drove out of Liuxi Village.

At the village entrance, the two black cars were still parked under the shade of trees not far away.

He first went to the commercial street in the county town.

He parked his car in the underground parking lot and headed straight for a well-known mobile phone store.

There weren't many customers in the store, and the sales assistant greeted us warmly.

"Sir, which phone would you like to see?"

Luo Fei glanced at the counter: "The latest smartphones, with bigger screens, four of them. Two dark colors and two light colors, please."

The sales assistant's eyes lit up—this was a big customer! "Yes, sir! Our latest H model is from the Mate series..."

Luo Fei didn't hesitate for long and directly selected four high-end models, one for each of them.

Then he bought two of the latest tablet computers.

Scan the QR code to pay.

Put the SIM card into the new phone.

Then I went into a brand-name computer store and bought a high-spec laptop for myself and my sister.

He was carrying several bags.

He walked to the clothing section next door and carefully selected several summer outfits and shoes suitable for his parents.

I also picked out a few nice quality dresses and T-shirts for my younger sister.

I grabbed a few sets of casual sportswear to change into and bought a few pairs of sneakers and leather shoes.

He's not very good at picking out clothes; he relies entirely on his intuition and feel.

After stuffing shopping bags of all sizes into the spacious trunk, Luo Fei returned to the driver's seat.

I checked the time; it was a little past 3 p.m.

It's time to get down to business.

He needs to find a reliable renovation or construction company to consult about rebuilding his old house.

I searched on my phone and found that there are about three or four large-scale decoration companies in Qingyang County.

He chose one of the companies, "Huating Decoration," which seemed to have a good reputation, and drove there according to the navigation.

"Huating Decoration" is located on a bustling street in the county town. The storefront is quite large, with floor-to-ceiling windows that are polished to a shine, allowing you to see some decoration samples and materials displayed inside.

Luo Fei parked the car, opened the door, and went inside.

A young girl was sitting at the front desk, busy with something on her computer.

Hearing the door open, she looked up and smiled, "Hello sir, welcome to Huating Decoration. Are you here for a renovation consultation?"

"Yes, I'd like to inquire about rebuilding a self-built house," Luo Fei said.

"Reconstruction of a self-built house?" The receptionist was taken aback. This type of business was relatively rare. "Okay, please wait a moment. I'll have our design manager come and discuss it with you in detail."

She picked up the internal phone, dialed a number, and whispered a few words.

Soon, a person came out of the inner office.

She was a young woman wearing a light gray business suit, her hair pulled back into a bun, revealing her smooth forehead and slender neck.

She held an iPad in her hand, smiled, and looked at Luo Fei.

Then, she stopped in her tracks.

The smile on his face turned into surprise.

She narrowed her eyes slightly, scrutinizing Luo Fei as if trying to confirm something.

Luo Fei also looked at the other person.

This face... seems somewhat familiar.

She has a round, oval face, delicate eyebrows and eyes, and a straight nose.

Especially those eyes, bright and piercing, which were wide open at that moment.

"Luo...Luo Fei?" she tentatively called out the name, uncertainly.

A name and a figure flashed through Luo Fei's mind like lightning.

In high school, there was a female class monitor who always sat in the front row of the classroom, had excellent grades, was serious about her work, was a bit of a busybody, but was very popular.

"Su Wanqing?" Luo Fei was also somewhat surprised and called out her name.

"It really is you!" Su Wanqing's surprise instantly turned to delight. She quickly stepped forward, extended her hand, and said, "Old classmate! Long time no see! It's been almost ten years since we graduated high school, hasn't it? You've changed so much, I almost didn't recognize you!"

She looked Luo Fei up and down. The boy she remembered as somewhat thin, taciturn, with average grades and sitting in the back row was now tall and composed. He had indeed changed quite a bit.

Luo Fei also reached out and gently shook her hand; the touch was cool and soft.

"Yeah, long time no see. Class monitor, you haven't changed a bit, I recognized you right away." Luo Fei smiled.

"Forget about being a class monitor, that's all in the past." Su Wanqing laughed, her eyes curving into crescents, looking very happy. "Come on, sit here! Are you here to consult about renovations? Rebuilding your self-built house?"

She led Luo Fei to the customer negotiation area on the side, where there were soft sofas and glass coffee tables.

The receptionist poured two glasses of water and brought them over, glancing at the two of them curiously.

"Well, my home is in Liuxi Village. I want to tear down my old house and rebuild it into a two-story building." Luo Fei sat down and briefly explained his purpose.

"Willow Creek Village, I remember now, I think you mentioned it in high school." Su Wanqing had a good memory. She opened a drawing app on her iPad. "What specific ideas and requirements do you have? Area, style, and approximate budget?"

"The area doesn't need to be too big. We'll keep the original foundation, about 120 or 130 square meters. The style should be simple and practical. We need to consider the elderly living there, so good lighting and ventilation, as well as good sound insulation and heat preservation. As for the budget, there's no upper limit for now. Safety, quality, and comfort are the top priorities," Luo Fei said thoughtfully.

Su Wanqing nodded as she quickly took notes: "Understood. Regarding materials, we recommend environmentally friendly and durable ones. Structural safety is of paramount importance. However…"

She looked up at Luo Fei and said, "To rebuild a self-built house, you first need the consent of your village, and then you need to apply for a building permit from the housing and construction department. Only after you have the permit can you start construction. You need to handle this process yourself, or you can entrust us to do it, but you will need to provide documents such as land certificates and the identity certificate of the homeowner."

Luo Fei nodded: "I know that. I'll take care of the formalities. Today, the main thing is to find a company to come up with a design plan and a budget. Once the formalities are completed, we can start construction immediately."

"No problem!" Su Wanqing said readily. "Our company has taken on many self-built projects in rural towns and has experience. Here's what we'll do: whenever is it convenient for you? I'll bring some people to your house to take measurements and take some photos, and then we'll provide you with a few preliminary design plans and budgets to choose from."

"The sooner the better. How about tomorrow morning?" Luo Fei asked.

"Tomorrow morning..." Su Wanqing checked her schedule on her iPad. "Sure! I'm free in the morning. How about we meet at Willow Creek Village at nine o'clock tomorrow morning?"

"Okay. Call me when you arrive."

The two exchanged phone numbers.

After chatting for a few more minutes, the conversation naturally turned to the current situation of our high school classmates: who works where, who got married, and who went abroad.

The atmosphere was relaxed and pleasant.

Su Wanqing is cheerful and talkative, and she has become even more capable after starting work, but she still shows some of the sincerity she had during her student days when facing her old classmates.

Luo Fei noticed that Su Wanqing was very familiar with the company's business during the conversation, and she was also very knowledgeable when introducing the materials and processes.

"Do you own this company?" Luo Fei asked casually.

"It's owned by my dad. I studied design in college and came back to help out after graduation. Now I'm kind of the design supervisor." Su Wanqing smiled a little shyly. "It's a small county town, not as developed as it is in a big city."

"It's great, close to home and with a stable career," Luo Fei said sincerely.

As the two chatted and laughed, in the open-plan office area not far from the negotiation area, a male employee who looked to be around thirty years old was pretending to draw on the computer while glancing at Su Wanqing and Luo Fei from time to time out of the corner of his eye.

Seeing the genuine smile on Su Wanqing's face and her relaxed and friendly conversation with the strange man, which was clearly different from how she usually greeted clients, the male employee frowned.

He quietly took out his phone and quickly typed a message under the table:

"Brother Hao, Miss Su was meeting with a male client at the company. He looked quite young, and the two chatted for a long time, laughing and talking. It didn't seem like a normal business meeting."

The message has been sent.

The recipient's name in the notes is "Wang Shao".

After sending the message, the male employee quickly put his phone back in his pocket and continued to pretend to work.

His name is Lin Hao. He is a senior designer in the company and is quite capable. He has always harbored fantasies about Su Wanqing, the young, beautiful and capable daughter of the boss, but he dares not express them.

Until six months ago, Wang Zihao, the son of a local official, saw Su Wanqing, was immediately captivated by her beauty, and began to pursue her relentlessly.

In order to keep track of Su Wanqing's movements, Wang Zihao secretly contacted him and offered him a large sum of money to become his informant and report on Su Wanqing's situation at the company.

He dared not offend Wang Junhao, and coveted the money, so he agreed.

Seeing Su Wanqing's friendly attitude towards the man named Luo Fei, he immediately decided to report it.

At this moment, in a private room of a high-end club in the county town, a young man with a somewhat bloated face is drinking with a heavily made-up female companion.

Upon seeing the message on his phone screen, his smile vanished instantly, and his eyes darkened.

"Su Wanqing, chatting and laughing with a man?" Wang Zihao released his female companion, stared at his phone screen, and pressed his fingers hard.

He pursued Su Wanqing for half a year, sending her flowers and gifts, and inviting her to dinner, but she always politely distanced herself, making excuses about being busy with work. If it weren't for her uncle...

Now, she's actually chatting and laughing with other men at the company?

A cold smile appeared on Wang Junhao's face.

In this small corner of Qingyang County, no one dares to compete with Young Master Wang for a woman.

He wanted to see which blind fool it was.

He quickly replied with a message: "Keep a close eye on him and send me a picture of that guy."

"Yes, Brother Hao!" Lin Hao replied quickly.

Luo Fei and Su Wanqing in the negotiation area were completely unaware of all this.

They chatted for a while longer.

Luo Fei got up to take his leave.

Su Wanqing escorted him to the door, watched him get into the car, and drove away.

She stood at the door, watching the car drive away, feeling a mix of emotions.

My old classmate has changed so much.

However, being able to reunite is always a happy thing.

She turned and went back to the company, preparing the tools and data she would need for the survey in Liuxi Village the next day.

Lin Hao, meanwhile, quietly raised his phone and secretly took several photos of Luo Fei's car outside the door, including Luo Fei's profile and the temporary license plate of D9, before sending them out.
