I won 90 million, all I want to do is lie down and relax!

"Yes, Brother Xiang is the backbone of this shop. We can't do without him anywhere. He's really incredibly busy."

Upon hearing this, Lu Zhaoyang felt grateful.

Zhang Zhizhong quietly introduced the place to his friend, and the old man invited his friend to visit again.

This is all to support their business.

Lu Zhaoyang now understands that the booming business is inseparable from the help of these friends.

"I really have to thank you, Brother Zhang."

"Thank me? You mean you'd introduce a friend to me?"

Zhang Zhizhong waved his hand, refusing to take credit, "It's nothing, just a matter of saying a few words. They can eat anywhere, I just recommended a good place to them. My friends should be the ones thanking me."

"I'm not just talking about you, Brother Zhang, introducing your friends to meals."

Lu Zhaoyang's tone was earnest, "I also need to thank these two construction and renovation projects, especially the restaurant's renovation. If it weren't for Brother Zhang's help in coordinating, how could such a large shop have been completed so smoothly in such a short time?"

In order to meet the deadline, Zhang Zhizhong undoubtedly put in a lot of effort, helping to coordinate workers from all sides, which is how the construction period was shortened to the shortest possible time.

If Li Jianxiang hadn't known these things and told him, Lu Zhaoyang would have had a very difficult time discovering it.

Later, he transferred an extra sum of money to everyone as a bonus or a token of his appreciation.

"Hey, what are you saying? Isn't this what I should do? It's my duty, my job."

Zhang Zhizhong shook his head and laughed, "Besides, in the end it all comes down to you two bosses. You're generous and open-minded in your work, and you pay enough for overtime. Everyone can make money, so as soon as I suggested it, everyone rushed to do it."

"Brother Zhang, I've already expressed my gratitude in my heart, so let's skip the mutual flattery."

"Hahaha, very good." Zhang Zhizhong laughed loudly upon hearing this.

At this stage, he usually spends his time outmaneuvering clients to get paid and settle accounts.

The fact that Lu Zhaoyang was chatting and laughing with him here, and giving each other compliments, was also extremely unfamiliar to him.

"By the way, Brother Zhang, there's something else I'd like to ask you."

"Go ahead and say it."

"How are design fees typically calculated in Yunzhao?"

Lu Zhaoyang certainly wouldn't forget the design fee he had promised Chen Bing.

Chen Bing initially refused to accept this fee.

Later, he became more insistent, and Chen Bing stopped refusing outright, but kept delaying, saying she would talk about it later.

Now that the entire house renovation is complete, it's no longer appropriate to delay any longer.

However, Lu Zhaoyang knew nothing about design fees and was unsure how much to pay.

"Design fee? Why are you suddenly asking that?"

Zhang Zhizhong seemed to have heard something unusual. He lit a cigarette, took a puff, and chuckled, "We rarely talk about design fees here, Zhaoyang. You know, in our area, most clients don't really have a specific style when decorating. Even if they do want some design, they'll ask the decorating company to include the design service for a separate fee. Anyone who dares to bring it up will be called a heartless swindler by the client!"

"This creates a vicious cycle. Mental work really needs to be respected for it to develop healthily!"

"From a former mental laborer to a laid-back worker," Lu Zhaoyang sighed sincerely.

"That's what they say, but our little place is hard to change in a short time."

Zhang Zhizhong didn't even feel anything special; he had long been used to it.

"Brother Zhang, it's like this..."

Lu Zhaoyang pointed to the small courtyard and said, "Chen Bing put a lot of effort and thought into the design of this courtyard. I have new ideas and need to trouble her to improve and adjust them, so I want to pay her a design fee. However, I don't know much about the market, so I asked you for some information."

"Xiao Bing won't want it, will she?"

Zhang Zhizhong was stunned for a moment, then chuckled.

"Whether she wants it or not is not up to her. I'm the customer, and I think her work is worthwhile, so I have to give it to her."

Even though Zhang Zhizhong knew Lu Zhaoyang quite well, he was still moved by this explanation.

For clients like those in the US, designers generally wouldn't even dare to dream of design fees.

Lu Zhaoyang, on the other hand, insisted on giving it to the person in question even though they didn't want it.

If all his future clients are like this, he can't even imagine how happy he would be.

"There's no single standard for this, but generally speaking..."

……

Exhausted, Chen Bing returned from her office and rushed to her uncle's company.

This has become her daily habit.

Not to mention, she was in charge of bringing in the furniture and appliances for Lu Zhaoyang's side today.

Throughout the day, she made several phone calls to keep in touch with Lu Zhaoyang and Zhang Zhizhong.

Fortunately, everything went smoothly.

It's too late today, and it's really inconvenient to go and check, so she had to go back to the company to verify that all the stored furniture had been handed over.

A girl with a ponytail walked out of the finance office.

He bumped into Chen Bing and, before she could speak, said with a grin, "Bingbing, the balance of your big order has arrived, not a penny short."

"Okay, sure."

Chen Bing nodded and responded.

When it comes to money, Lu Zhaoyang has never delayed even for a day.

They didn't even discuss the price.

On two occasions, Chen Bing couldn't help but tease Lu Zhaoyang, saying, "With his temper, isn't he afraid of being tricked?"

Lu Zhaoyang thought for a moment, then smiled nonchalantly: "I hadn't thought about it. Since we're cooperating, it's based on trust. It would be exhausting to keep guessing."

As Chen Bing listened, she felt that Lu Zhaoyang was clearly a bit lazy in his thinking.

Although she herself was the one being trusted, she did not lie to Lu Zhaoyang.

However, she still felt that this philosophy of life was not very rational.

"Oh, right, it's not a big deal if you encounter deception in life."

As Chen Bing was deep in thought, Lu Zhaoyang suddenly turned around and said, "I may not be super smart, but I'm not stupid either. If I lie once, I'll lose all my friends. I don't need to worry about being lied to again next time."

As Chen Bing thought about the previous conversation, she walked towards her uncle's office.

Suddenly, her phone rang.

It's Lu Zhaoyang's information.

"It's time to settle the design fee we agreed on..."
