Chapter 8 Happy Cooperation
Seeing the look of admiration on Lu Zhaoyang's face, Chen Bing's lips unconsciously curled up.
Even she herself didn't realize that a little pride rose in her heart when she was praised, as if she had received the approval of a leader or elder.
"These are sold in very small quantities; a thousand or so yuan is enough for an average family," Chen Bing added.
Lu Zhaoyang silently gave himself a thumbs up.
Although he worked on cases at GG Company, he also directly interacted with clients.
He knew very well how difficult it was for a salesperson to maintain this integrity when facing customers.
"This one will do."
Moreover, Lu Zhaoyang had to admit that Chen Bing's explanation was very professional.
After hearing this, he now feels that not buying it and sleeping on it would be a huge loss.
"what?"
Chen Bing was taken aback. "This mattress is nice, but..."
Ten thousand yuan isn't a huge sum of money, and she wasn't doubting that Lu Zhaoyang couldn't afford it.
The key point is that this is just a mattress, and at a price of 10,000 yuan, especially in a small county town, it is already considered a high-end luxury item in this category.
If Lu Zhaoyang hadn't revealed his shortcomings during their previous blind date, Chen Bing would have suspected that any other guy she met on a blind date was just putting on a show for her.
"This one will do. I have a bit of a problem making decisions, so to avoid being too conflicted, I'd rather not listen to too many options," Lu Zhaoyang said with a smile.
He spoke of it casually, even saying that he only bought something insignificant.
Chen Bing opened her mouth, but swallowed the words that were about to come out, feeling increasingly puzzled.
From the very first meeting, she was constantly assessing the boy in front of her.
But the other party kept challenging her understanding and judgment.
None of the previous labels fit perfectly.
This left her feeling somewhat frustrated, but also more curious.
After Lu Zhaoyang finished speaking, he turned his head to look at the other items in the shop and casually asked, "There's something else I'd like to ask about."
"Go ahead," Chen Bing said.
"If I buy materials here, can your uncle introduce me to some construction workers?"
Lu Zhaoyang didn't want to hire a renovation company to handle the entire renovation of the courtyard.
That would be easier, but it would also lack the fun.
He wanted to participate himself.
However, he didn't have any specific ideas yet, so he just asked.
"Of course, no problem. This is how many people do it now, especially in our county. People have already spent a lot of money on buying houses, so most people try to save as much as possible on renovations. Many people worry that renovation companies are not transparent about their fees or that the fees are too high, and that the materials they use are not reliable enough. So many people buy the materials themselves and then hire workers to do the work separately. This can indeed save a lot of money, but it is more suitable for people who are willing to spend time and energy."
Seeing that Lu Zhaoyang really didn't understand, Chen Bing didn't hide anything and continued, "Don't even mention a building materials market the size of my uncle's. Even if you go to a latex paint specialty store to buy paint, the painter can probably handle most of the renovation work by himself. Even if there are some things he doesn't know, he can call on a fellow painter to solve them at any time."
"So versatile?" Lu Zhaoyang asked in surprise.
"Well, as the saying goes, it's always good to have more skills. These masters are all very versatile. The market is very competitive now, and they're all in it to make money."
Lu Zhaoyang nodded, indicating that he understood.
He's never bought a house, let alone renovated one, so he really doesn't know much about these things.
Chen Bing seemed to remember something, and asked with anticipation in her eyes, "From what you're saying, you haven't found a renovation company yet and are planning to renovate it yourself?"
"Yes, that's a plan."
Lu Zhaoyang noticed her expression and asked with a puzzled smile, "What's wrong?"
Chen Bing thought for a moment and said seriously, "If you're planning to renovate, you can buy the materials from me. I can give you a discount from my commission. I can't say it will be much cheaper, but it will definitely be more affordable than the market price. Also, I know the workers who work with my uncle, so I can put in a good word for them. I'll make sure they do a good job on the construction. We're friends now, so you can trust me with the materials. I know a lot about materials and can help you with the quality. If you need a design, I can also help you with that, and the price will be a friend's price. How about it?"
Lu Zhaoyang was repeatedly surprised: "You even know design?"
Chen Bing nodded and said, "I studied design in college, and I occasionally help out with work for my uncle."
"Oh, I see."
Lu Zhaoyang was somewhat persuaded.
This perfectly met his needs.
His idea for renovating the yard was only a basic one; to bring it to fruition, he really needed a professional consultant.
To be honest, judging from the detailed introduction of any mattress just now, it's clear that they really put in a lot of effort.
Lu Zhaoyang still trusted Chen Bing's professionalism.
Besides, I'm not going to be polite with you; we're all friends, and I'm not going to make money off you.
They make money openly and honestly, without hiding anything.
Lu Zhaoyang particularly appreciated this.
She is a rational and ambitious girl.
He used to work very hard.
But right now I just want to be salted fish.
In short, Chen Bing is much better than this salted fish.
"If some of these materials aren't available here, could you get them for me?"
"Not here?"
Seeing that Lu Zhaoyang did not refuse, Chen Bing knew that there was a chance, and quickly said confidently, "Don't worry, my uncle's exhibition hall has a complete set of materials. Even if it's not available here, he can buy it for you at a fair price from his peers."
Chen Bing continued, "Even if you want something custom-made, my uncle has a wide network of connections. Of course, the price will be negotiable."
Lu Zhaoyang thought for a moment, then decided it was fine and readily extended his hand: "Okay, then it'll be a pleasure to cooperate!"
Chen Bing paused for a moment.
This isn't a big city, so there aren't so many formalities here.
"It's a pleasure working with you!"
Immediately, Chen Bing also reached out her hand.
The two shook hands lightly, and Lu Zhaoyang immediately let go.
"Lu Zhaoyang, which neighborhood did you buy your house in? Let me see if I can find the floor plan. Also, have you decided on your budget? I can prepare a plan in advance."
Chen Bing was overjoyed with the collaboration finalized and immediately got to work.
"It's not a residential area, it's a courtyard, right on Xinhua Road, you might know it," Lu Zhaoyang said.
"I know. It's there, the one you just bought?" Chen Bing asked in surprise.
She wouldn't be too surprised even if it were an old residential area, but it was a courtyard, which puzzled her.
She knew the prices there; they were around two or three hundred thousand.
Chen Bing thought it might be because Lu Zhaoyang didn't have enough funds.
Otherwise, a young person buying a courtyard house can't just do it because they like it, right?
But what about the mattress that cost nearly 10,000 yuan?
Her initial suspicions about Lu Zhaoyang suddenly became riddled with inconsistencies because of this mattress.
My thoughts are getting increasingly jumbled up.
However, this is not a problem she is considering right now.
He was already very satisfied with this blind date.
"Yes, that's right."
Lu Zhaoyang smiled and said, "As for the budget, I don't know much about that and it's hard for me to say. How about we take a look at the site another day when you have time and then talk about it?"
"How about this weekend? I don't work on weekends, and I can come over in the morning if you have time."
"Okay, it's settled then."
Lu Zhaoyang readily agreed.
Chen Bing watched the silver Tesla turn the corner and disappear at the entrance of the building materials market.
She took out her phone, opened the calendar, and tapped it.
A prompt to "Add Schedule" appears on the screen.
She stared at the blank line, her thumb hovering over the keyboard for a moment, then turned off the screen and put her phone back in her pocket.
