After half a lifetime of navigating the world, the system tells me to be a good big brother!

After hearing the two options given by Sha Chao, Li Qing immediately lowered his head and pondered, his fingers unconsciously tapping on the back of the sofa as he weighed the pros and cons.

Gaoyan No.1 Construction and Shuicheng Xingguang are both companies with deep expertise in the industry, but he found it difficult to choose between them due to their respective strengths and weaknesses.

"Brother Chao, tell me in detail, is there any shady business going on here that people don't know about? You know, I haven't been involved in this industry for many years."

Li Qing looked up at Sha Chao, asked seriously, and explained to him.

"The renovation of my shop is not like that of an ordinary house. It requires a design plan first, and three more floors will be added inside."

The load-bearing capacity, layout, water and electricity systems, and overall design must all be taken into account; there is no room for carelessness.

Sha Chao nodded, picked up the bottle of beverage in front of him, took a sip, and then slowly began to analyze the situation with Li Qing.

"As you know, Yijian was a well-known construction company in the county before we were upgraded to a city."

They have a solid foundation, strict rules, and the construction teams are all experienced and skilled; they never cut corners.

The only problem is that the first-level construction engineer's schedule is very full right now. There are many government affairs support projects in the new urban area, and all of them are being done by first-level construction engineers.

The project schedule is packed. If you contact them, you'll have to wait at least half a month, and even then, there's no guarantee someone won't cut in line.

Furthermore, once construction begins, other tasks will be interspersed with your work; they can't prioritize your tasks.

There are advantages too: the prices are fair, and we're all locals. The one currently in power is Kang Wu, the second son of Old Master Kang.

You've met him before; he's quite a reliable person.

Sha Chao paused here, took a sip of water, and then continued.

"Shuicheng Xingguang is a company from the higher-level city, with more complete qualifications and extremely rich experience."

Many of the high-end clubs and commercial complexes in Shuicheng were designed by them; they have a very mature design team.

Take the Arcadia Hotel, for example; this five-star hotel was entirely their creation.

The spa center you're planning to open belongs to the high-end leisure industry. They have extensive experience in this kind of decoration, and they understand everything about style, layout, privacy space design, and staff flow.

The disadvantages are also very obvious; the price should be about 20% higher than that of a Level 1 Construction Engineer.

Also, if the construction starts in a different location, all of their construction team's expenses will be added to your budget.

Of course, on the other hand, as long as you can offer more money, you'll definitely have enough manpower. And if the money's right, you're exceptional at meeting deadlines.

After listening to what Sha Chao said, Li Qing immediately began to weigh the options in his mind.

Although Starlight is fast, it's not really suitable for him, as he doesn't have enough funds on hand right now.

As for the construction company, although there was a wait in terms of construction period, he felt very reassured, since it was a local company after all.

In addition, although he wasn't familiar with Kang Wu, they had worked together before, so he was quite reassuring.

After considering all these factors, he made a decision about who to choose.

"Then I'll choose the first-level construction engineer exam."

Li Qing patted the armrest of the sofa before continuing, "It's okay if it's slow. I'm not in a hurry. It's just half a month. As long as the work is done well, that's more important than anything else."

Actually, he had another idea in mind, but he didn't tell Sha Chao. He would have to wait until he met Kang Wu to make a decision.

Sha Chao laughed when he heard this and said to him, "Kang Wu is reliable and hardworking. This job is a piece of cake for him."

Besides, we're locals, so if there's a problem, you can easily find someone to help you with after-sales service.

As Sha Chao spoke, he took out his phone and started looking for Kang Wu's number. Halfway through, he suddenly looked up and, as if remembering something, asked Li Qing.

"I remember you have Kang Wu's phone number too, right? Do you want me to send it to you again?"

After hearing Sha Chao's question, Li Qing immediately took out his phone and opened his contact list.

"I do have your phone number, but we haven't been in touch for so long. Brother Chao, could you read it to me again so I can check?"

Sha Chao immediately found Kang Wu's phone number and read it aloud. Li Qing then checked the phone number that Sha Chao read aloud against the one he had saved.

Seeing that neither of the two phone numbers was wrong, he immediately nodded to Sha Chao.

"The phone number is correct. It seems Kang Wu hasn't changed his phone number."

Before Li Qing could even react after finishing his sentence, Sha Chao had already dialed Kang Wu's number.

Right in front of Li Qing, he explained his job to Kang Wu in detail.

Li Qing remained silent, understanding that Sha Chao was paving the way for him.

Li Qing expressed her gratitude to Sha Chao after he hung up the phone.

"Brother Chao is really reliable. Your call saved me a lot of trouble."

"We're all brothers, why be so polite? Contact him in a bit and see when you can go over and meet him."

Also, although we all know Kang Wu, there are some things that need to be discussed beforehand.

Even close brothers keep clear accounts; you must read the contract carefully.

Li Qing smiled and nodded, feeling much more at ease.

The two exchanged a few more pleasantries, but Li Qing, preoccupied with contacting Kang Wu, didn't linger at Sha Chao's place.

Li Qing said goodbye to Sha Chao, got on his bike, and rode towards the city.

When they were almost in the city, he parked his car on the side of the road, found a shady spot under a tree, and took out his phone to call Kang Wu.

The call lasted a few minutes, and he got in touch with Kang Wu, found out where he was, and then got back on his bike and rushed over.

Kang Wu told him on the phone that he was currently at a construction site in the new urban area.

Li Qing's motorcycle was quite fast, and he arrived at the target construction site in no time.

At this moment, the main gate of the construction site in front of him was tightly closed, and the management was quite strict. He was just thinking of contacting Kang Wu when he saw the small door next to him open, and Kang Wu walked out from it.

"Li Qing, long time no see! You seem even more muscular than the last time I saw you."

Upon seeing Li Qing standing at the entrance of the construction site, Kang Wu greeted him warmly.

"Hehehe, are you stronger now? I don't feel anything!"

The two chatted and laughed as Kang Wu led him into the construction site and into a prefabricated house.

After exchanging pleasantries upon meeting, Li Qing, seeing that the communication was nearly complete, finally turned the conversation to the main topic.

"President Kang, I'm sure Brother Chao has already told you the general reason why we came to see you this time."

Now let me explain this project to you in more detail…

Li Qing then gave a detailed explanation of what he wanted to do, including things like a spa center, a health-preserving foot bath, and a lottery station.

Kang Wu listened attentively, and kept writing and drawing in a notebook.

Kang Wu only spoke to him after Li Qing finished his introduction.

"Mr. Li, this job isn't too complicated, and I can take it on, but there's a problem."
