My buildings have attributes

The next morning, Li Lili got up early to make breakfast with Chen's mother. Li Lili was now truly acting like a daughter-in-law in the Chen family, already living the life of a married woman ahead of time. "Xiaoxue, you don't need to get up so early to make breakfast with me anymore since you have to work during the day. I don't have much to do during the day, and I'm not tired, unlike you. Leave these things to me," Chen's mother said kindly to Li Lili.

Upon hearing this, Li Lili quickly said, "No, I'm not tired at all. I'm worried you'll get tired cooking all by yourself. This isn't just for you and your uncle; it's for our whole family. It's too much." Li Lili spoke very considerately.

After hearing Li Lili's words, Mrs. Chen felt that Li Lili was indeed a good wife and daughter-in-law, and that Chen Ling had excellent taste. Mrs. Chen didn't say anything more and continued making breakfast. After a while, Mr. Chen returned from outside.

Mr. Chen has a good habit of exercising; he goes to the park every morning. "Uncle, you're back just in time! Breakfast is ready!" Li Lili said as soon as Mr. Chen entered the house. "Haha, I know dinner's ready as soon as I get hungry," Mr. Chen said with a smile. Just then, Mr. Chen asked, "Where's Chen Ling? Still not up?" No sooner had he finished speaking than Chen Ling came out. "Dad, I'm up too," Chen Ling said as he walked.

When Chen Ling reached the hall, he saw that Chen Xiaoqi hadn't gotten up yet. Just as Chen Ling was about to call her, his mother stopped him. "Don't go. Let her sleep a little longer. She needs to get enough sleep," Chen's mother said, looking at Chen Ling.

"You're so lucky," Chen Ling said calmly after hearing his mother's words. Just then, Li Lili said, "Come and eat, you have to go to work later." As soon as she finished speaking, Chen Ling strode over to eat. "You don't have anything to do today, right?" Chen Ling asked, looking at Li Lili. "No, I don't think so. Xiaoqi didn't say anything," Li Lili replied after thinking for a moment.

"That's good, let's go to the company together later." After saying that, Chen Ling continued eating. Not long after, Chen Ling and Li Lili finished their meal and prepared to go to the company. Li Lili said goodbye to Chen's parents and went back to her room to pack her things.

A moment later, she came out to call Chen Ling to the company. After Chen Ling and Li Lili came downstairs, Chen Ling asked, "What happened yesterday? You were so unusual?" Li Lili, hearing Chen Ling's words, couldn't immediately understand what he was talking about. She just stared blankly at Chen Ling. Chen Ling continued, "You, yesterday you suddenly said you missed me, that's not like you at all." He looked at Li Lili and said affectionately.

"It's nothing, it was just that for a moment, I really missed you." Li Lili said softly to Chen Ling, thinking about what happened yesterday. "Did something happen for that moment?" Chen Ling asked worriedly. "No, no, nothing happened." Li Lili said, quickening her pace. Seeing this, Chen Ling didn't say anything more.

Chen Ling and Li Lili arrived at the company quickly. As soon as Li Lili entered, she heard Chen Mengyao's voice. "Ningxue, I've missed you so much!" Chen Mengyao strode over and said to Li Lili.

"Oh dear, women, so cheesy." Before Li Lili could speak, Chen Ling's voice rang out. "That's for sure," Li Lili replied after hearing this. "Alright, you two chat," Chen Ling said, then walked back to his office.

At this moment, Chen Mengyao pulled Li Lili to sit down while talking. Then the two began to catch up. "How are things between you and Liu Yuyang?" Li Lili asked after sitting down. "We're doing fine, nothing's wrong. But you, it feels like I haven't seen you in a long time," Chen Mengyao said, looking at Li Lili.

Upon hearing this, Li Lili said, "Something came up at home. I haven't seen you since I helped Liu Yuyang confess his feelings last time."

Just then, Liu Yuyang walked over and asked, "What are you two talking about?" "What are you gossiping about?" Chen Mengyao glanced at Liu Yuyang and then said. "Okay, you two chat, I'm just passing by, I have to go now." After hearing Chen Mengyao's words, Liu Yuyang quickly slipped away.

At this moment, Li Lili began to say, "He's great, he's completely under your thumb. He's a good man." "Oh, no way, that's just how he is," Chen Mengyao said indifferently after hearing this.

Chapter 233 New Project

After chatting for a while, Chen Mengyao and Li Lili got busy with their work. Chen Ling, in the room, was also busy at work.

After keeping a low profile for a while, it was time for the company to take on some good projects. So Chen Ling began to investigate these new projects. He looked at the documents on the table and flipped through them one by one.

Just then, Chen Ling saw a rather novel project. This project was a shopping mall, a rather large one, with well-known merchants moving in. The project aimed to make this mall a trendy shopping center integrating dining, shopping, and entertainment.

The core concept is "cool." After carefully reviewing the project introduction, Chen Ling called Liu Yuyang in. Liu Yuyang had barely entered when he heard Chen Ling's voice. "How's your work going?"

"It's almost finished. You mentioned you were preparing to start a new project, so I've been working hard to complete this one, and the funds have all been recovered," Liu Yuyang said quickly after hearing Chen Ling's words.

At that moment, Chen Ling handed the project in his hand to Liu Yuyang and said, "Take a good look at this project." So Liu Yuyang took the project from Chen Ling and began to look at it.

Just then, after reviewing the project in his hand, Liu Yuyang asked, "What's wrong? Is this what you want to do?" Liu Yuyang knew Chen Ling very well; as soon as Chen Ling handed him the documents, he knew what Chen Ling wanted to do.

After hearing Liu Yuyang's words, Chen Ling nodded and then asked, "How is it?" Chen Ling had always had a good business sense, and Liu Yuyang, looking at the project in his hand, also thought it was quite good, so he said, "Not bad, if you want to do it, we'll do it." After Liu Yuyang finished speaking, he looked at Chen Ling again.

Chen Ling then said, "Then you should inform them and find a time to discuss the cooperation." As soon as Chen Ling finished speaking, Liu Yuyang nodded and left.

After Liu Yuyang left, Chen Ling took out the project again and looked at it. Meanwhile, Chen Xiaoqi, who was at home, had a very good sleep. When she woke up, she saw that it was already past 11 a.m., which was lunchtime.

"Mom, why didn't you wake me up?" Chen Xiaoqi asked as soon as she came out. "Why would I wake you? Just look at me. It's good to sleep more when you're pregnant. I just didn't expect you to sleep for so long that I completely forgot about you," Chen's mother said while watching TV.

At this moment, Chen Xiaoqi said again, "Aren't you afraid that I and your precious grandson will go hungry?" "Haha, I'm not afraid. When it was time to eat, Chen Ling called you, but I wanted you to sleep a little longer, so I didn't let him call you. I was busy and forgot about you. I left you some food."

"Go and eat something. We'll have lunch later," Mrs. Chen said again. Hearing this, Chen Xiaoqi went to the kitchen to get some food. "Xiaoqi," Mrs. Chen called, having just ladled out a bowl of porridge and sat down next to her. Chen Xiaoqi replied, "Hmm? What is it now?" Mrs. Chen glared at her, swallowing back the words she was about to say.

At this moment, Chen Xiaoqi spoke up again, "Alright, go ahead, what were you trying to say?" Hearing Chen Xiaoqi's words, her mother said, "It's alright, just focus on your pregnancy. Leave the wedding arrangements to Li Ran, don't worry about it." Chen Xiaoqi nodded in agreement. She trusted Li Ran's abilities. A little while later, Chen's father, who was reading the newspaper, spoke up, saying, "Has Li Ran's family mentioned seeing you again?"

"Yes, no." Chen Xiaoqi nodded after hearing her father's words. Then she continued, "I guess it's because I'm not feeling well." "That's probably it. Just stay home and rest." Her father said after hearing Chen Xiaoqi's words.

After hearing her father's words, Chen Xiaoqi didn't say anything more. She glanced at her phone, wanting to send Li Ran a message, but then decided against it and put her phone down.

"Meeting in the conference room in half an hour." Chen Ling sent this notification in the company's main group chat. He hadn't been managing the company properly lately, and it had been a long time since he'd held a meeting.

So he thought he'd use this new project as an opportunity to hold a short meeting. Half an hour later, Chen Ling went to the meeting room.

When Chen Ling arrived, everyone in the conference room was already there, waiting for him to begin the meeting. Chen Ling first greeted everyone before getting to the point. He started by asking the department heads about the company's recent situation and any problems they had encountered at work. He then asked them to summarize the previous month and outline their work plans for the coming month.

Then Chen Ling brought up today's topic: the company had been taking a break for a while and hadn't taken on any good projects. He planned to get back on track and start taking on some good projects, like the one they were working on now. Then Chen Ling showed everyone the project he was holding.

Everyone took the information from Chen Ling and passed it around to look at it. After they had a general understanding of the major documents, Chen Ling then asked Liu Yuyang to introduce the project.

At that moment, Liu Yuyang produced his investigation materials and mentioned that the person in charge of this project was Mr. Li from Yidiantong Business Consulting Company.

The main purpose of this project is to build a trendy shopping mall, which was also shown in the documents Chen Ling had just shown everyone. At this point, Liu Yuyang began to talk about the project's significance to their company, going on and on for a long time before finally finishing.

After hearing this, everyone agreed that the project was feasible. Then they heard Liu Yuyang's overall plan for the project. At this moment, Chen Ling, listening to Liu Yuyang's ideas, began to admire Liu Yuyang's progress. Chen Ling thought to himself that keeping Liu Yuyang busy with so many projects lately had made him even more professional.

Chapter 234 Meeting at the Bar

He knew before that Liu Yuyang was a rare talent, but at this moment, Chen Ling was even more convinced of Liu Yuyang's abilities.

After Liu Yuyang finished speaking, Chen Ling said, "You'll still be mainly in charge of this project. If you need anything, just contact me. Meeting adjourned." After giving instructions to Liu Yuyang, Chen Ling adjourned the meeting.

Chen Ling didn't say much during the meeting; they did most of the talking. However, through this meeting, Chen Ling gained a complete understanding of the company's development this month.

After returning to his office, Chen Ling realized it was almost time to leave work. He then saw Chen Ling packing his briefcase, preparing to go home.

He wanted to have a drink at the bar today, so he called Li Ran. "Hey, Li Ran, are you free tonight? Let's go out for a drink." Chen Ling stated his purpose as soon as the call connected. Li Ran immediately replied, "Sure, send me the address, I'll come find you later." After saying that, Li Ran went back to doing what she was doing.

However, Chen Ling left the company with his briefcase. Only after getting into his car did he text Li Lili, saying, "I'm not going home for dinner tonight." Li Lili immediately guessed that Chen Ling wanted to go drinking. So she replied, "Don't drink too much." Upon seeing Li Lili's message, Chen Ling quickly replied, "Okay."

So he put down his phone and started driving towards the bar. Chen Ling was driving very slowly today, because he knew Li Ran was still busy, so he wasn't in a hurry. Suddenly, he became interested and wanted to see his surroundings. Usually, because he was always in a rush, he didn't have time to properly appreciate the scenery along the way.

A while later, Chen Ling saw a message from Li Ran saying he was finished and asking for Chen Ling's address. Chen Ling sent him the location and then sped up his work. Chen Ling was still thinking to himself, "Why is Li Ran so fast today?"

Not long after, Chen Ling arrived. Li Ran hadn't come yet. Chen Ling opened a bottle of wine at the bar and drank it by himself.

Chen Ling had just finished two drinks when Li Ran arrived. Upon seeing Chen Ling, Li Ran walked straight to him, picked up the glass beside him, poured himself a drink, and drank it down. Chen Ling looked at Li Ran, said nothing, and simply downed his drink.

After drinking a few glasses, Chen Ling asked, "What's wrong? Are you in a bad mood?" Chen Ling looked at Li Ran, who had started drinking without saying a word, and asked. Li Ran replied in surprise, "Huh? I thought you were in a bad mood. I saw you drinking alone when I came in, so I thought I'd have a few drinks with you."

Just then, Chen Ling heard Li Ran's words and couldn't help but laugh. He then said, "No, I'm not in a bad mood. I just haven't been out drinking in a long time, and I'm a little craving something. You're overthinking it." After saying this, Chen Ling couldn't help but laugh again. Li Ran also laughed after hearing Chen Ling's words. Then the two of them started drinking again.

Just then, after Chen Ling and the others had been drinking for about an hour, Chen Ling began to say, "Have you been very busy lately with the wedding arrangements?" Li Ran nodded and then shook her head after hearing Chen Ling's words, and then said, "It's alright, it's quite convenient now, there are wedding planning companies, so I'm not too busy."

After hearing Li Ran's words, Chen Ling nodded without saying anything more. After a while, Li Ran suddenly remembered the day he accompanied Chen Xiaoqi to try on wedding dresses. He then said, "That day when I accompanied Xiaoqi to try on wedding dresses, I saw that my sister-in-law really wanted to try them on. Does she also have thoughts of getting married?" After Li Ran finished speaking, he turned to Chen Ling.

However, after hearing Li Ran's words, Chen Ling suddenly realized why Li Lili had acted so strangely that day. He had found it odd that Li Lili had said she missed him after not seeing him for a short while. So that's why. Chen Ling then asked, "Perhaps so. He didn't tell me." Chen Ling thought about it; Li Lili had indeed never proactively mentioned wanting to get married.

Then he heard Li Ran's advice. Li Ran said, "Marriage isn't something a girl should say out loud. If you want to get married, then propose. If she wants to get married too, she'll naturally agree. If she doesn't have any thoughts about marriage right now, then you can just continue dating." Chen Ling had actually considered what Li Ran said, but he was worried that Li Lili's memories hadn't fully returned yet, so he hadn't proposed. But now it seemed that Li Lili was considering marriage, so it wouldn't hurt for them to get married.

Thinking it over carefully, before Li Lili lost her memory, he hadn't done anything else besides neglecting her for a while. It wasn't a big deal. Then Chen Ling said, "Let's finish your wedding with Xiao Qi first, then we'll talk about my business." After saying this, Chen Ling drank another glass of wine.

After hearing this, Li Ran didn't say anything more. After drinking for a while longer, Li Ran said he had to go home first, as there were things waiting for him to discuss. Chen Ling, seeing this, didn't say anything more, just nodded and let Li Ran leave. After Li Ran left, Chen Ling drank a couple more cups and then went home as well. He had only come to indulge in some lighthearted banter, not to drown his sorrows; now that he had drunk his fill, he was going home.

When Chen Ling arrived home, he found Li Lili waiting for him in the living room. As soon as he entered and saw Li Lili sitting on the sofa, he immediately asked, "Why aren't you asleep yet? Waiting for me?"

Li Lili felt relieved after seeing Chen Ling return. She said, "I was worried you'd had too much to drink."

Just one sentence from Li Lili melted Chen Ling's heart. Looking at Li Lili in front of him, he felt that Li Lili was truly a good wife.

Just then, a smile unconsciously crept onto Chen Ling's lips. He quickly strode over and embraced Li Lili, who was sitting on the sofa. Then he said, "Let's get married."

Chapter 235 Interviewing the Project Manager

Chen Ling's words, "Let's get married," kept echoing in Li Lili's ears. Was Chen Ling proposing to her? At this moment, Li Lili looked at Chen Ling's determined eyes, too moved to say a word, and simply nodded blankly, saying "Okay."

At that moment, Chen Ling kissed Li Lili's forehead and smiled at her. After a long while, Li Lili said, "Get some rest, it's late." Hearing this, Chen Ling hugged Li Lili tightly and began walking back to their bedroom.

The next morning, Li Lili didn't get up to make breakfast; she had slept so soundly that she overslept. Chen Ling did the same. Li Lili only woke up when Chen's mother called him to get up for breakfast. She hurriedly dressed and prepared to wash up.

But Chen's mother saw it from the living room, and her face lit up with a smile. She was just about to hold her eldest grandson. Seeing Chen's mother's expression, Li Lili quickly ran to the bathroom.

Just then, Chen Ling came out. He glanced at his mother, who was sitting in the living room laughing happily, then looked at Li Lili's back, and smiled meaningfully. He then went to wash up. Not long after, Li Lili and Chen Ling came to the dining table to eat. At this time, Chen's father also returned home.

Then, Mrs. Chen said, "Ningxue, eat more. You're so thin, you need to eat more." After saying that, Mrs. Chen put a piece of meat in front of her on Li Lili's plate. Li Lili thanked her quickly and then ate her meal heartily. After a while, Chen Ling looked at Li Lili and then at Mrs. Chen, and said, "Ningxue and I are getting married."

These words successfully surprised Mr. Chen. He stared at Chen Ling in disbelief, then asked, "What did you say? Marriage? Really? That's wonderful!" Even after saying this, Mr. Chen continued to stare intently at Chen Ling. However, compared to Mr. Chen's reaction, Mrs. Chen's expression was much calmer, because she knew Chen Ling had already had this idea; perhaps this was what they called the bond between mother and son.

However, as a mother, she was naturally happy for Chen Ling to hear him say this good news. Then she heard Chen Ling say, "Don't worry, we'll start preparing for Ningxue and me after Xiaoqi finishes her work." After saying that, Chen Ling continued eating.

Li Lili looked at Chen Ling and smiled gently. Chen's parents were naturally happy, only saying, "Okay, okay, okay." After a while, Chen Ling and Li Lili finished their meal and prepared to go to the company. After Chen Ling and Li Lili left, Chen's parents at the table could no longer contain their joy.

So they chatted back and forth, discussing Chen Ling and Li Lili's marriage. Just then, Chen Xiaoqi got up. She walked over and mumbled sleepily, "What's wrong, Mom and Dad? What are you talking about? You seem so happy!" She rubbed her blurry eyes as she spoke.

Upon hearing Chen Xiaoqi's question, Mr. and Mrs. Chen smiled knowingly. Mr. Chen nudged Mrs. Chen and said, "Such good news, tell us." Mrs. Chen smiled and began to speak, saying, "Your brother, Chen Ling, is getting married to Ningxue."

Upon hearing this, Chen Xiaoqi cheered happily and exclaimed in surprise, "My brother has finally come to his senses? That's wonderful! When are they planning to hold the wedding?"

Chen's mother suppressed her emotions and said, "After you finish your business, we'll start taking care of your brother." After saying that, Chen's mother looked at Chen's father beside her, and he nodded happily. And so, the three of them chatted for a very long time.

Suddenly, Chen Xiaoqi's phone rang. She saw it was an unfamiliar number and wasn't planning to answer, but the calls kept coming, so she picked up the phone.

Then she heard the person on the other end of the line say, "Hello, Xiaoqi, this is your aunt." Chen Xiaoqi was stunned when she heard the voice on the other end. She looked at her mother and whispered that it was Li Ran's mother calling. Li Ran's mother then spoke again, "Xiaoqi, do you have time today? Let's have dinner together. It's been so long since I've seen you. I've missed you so much."

Upon hearing Li's mother's words, Chen Xiaoqi immediately agreed. Her future mother-in-law had invited her; how could she, as the future daughter-in-law, refuse? After chatting for a while, Chen Xiaoqi hung up the phone. "What's wrong? Was someone looking for you?" Chen's mother asked immediately after Chen Xiaoqi hung up.

Just as Chen's mother finished speaking, Chen's father's voice came through. He calmly said, "It's been so long, why are you thinking about you now?" Chen Xiaoqi was momentarily speechless, unsure how to respond. "Okay, let's see what's going on later," Chen Xiaoqi said after calming down.

At this moment, Mr. Chen began to say, "Okay, your future mother-in-law, your mother and I won't say anything." After Mr. Chen finished speaking, Mrs. Chen echoed, "Yes, we won't say anything either. Looking at Li Ran's parents, they seem to be of high quality, so there shouldn't be any problems in the future." After Mrs. Chen finished speaking, she turned to look at Mr. Chen.

Chen Xiaoqi nodded but didn't say anything more. After a while, she felt sleepy and went back to rest. After she returned, her father started preparing the dishes, while her mother turned on the TV to watch. Meanwhile, Chen Ling, having just arrived at the company, immediately began working.

Chen Ling had arranged to meet with the person in charge of the new project to discuss the main matters of the project. Not long after Chen Ling arrived at the company, Mr. Li from Yidiantong Company arrived and went directly into the conference room with Chen Ling.

Chapter 236 Design Drawings

Liu Yuyang then entered. They began discussing the project, mainly focusing on its location, start date, and overall planning. Chen Ling then started out explaining his plans.

After the meeting concluded, Mr. Li, the general manager of Yidiantong Company, expressed his complete confidence in Chen Ling's abilities and his peace of mind in collaborating with Chen Ling's company. He then added that Chen Ling and his team would be fully responsible for this project. A short while later, the project plan took shape, and Mr. Li from Yidiantong Business Consulting Company then took his leave.

The cooperation agreement was finalized, so he could go back. Chen Ling escorted Mr. Li downstairs, exchanged a few polite words, and then saw him off. Back in his car, Mr. Li looked at the contract in his hand, thinking to himself, "We've partnered with the legendary Chen Ling. I'm really looking forward to the surprise he'll bring." After a moment's thought, he drove away.

After Chen Ling returned to his office, Liu Yuyang followed him inside. "Boss, this project has huge profit margins," Liu Yuyang said. Commercial buildings generally have higher profit margins than other types of buildings. However, the price offered by Yidian Tong Business Consulting was even higher.

Upon hearing this, Chen Ling smiled and said, "Isn't this proportional to our capabilities?" After saying this, Chen Ling picked up his cup and took a sip of water. Liu Yuyang nodded in agreement after hearing Chen Ling's words. What Chen Ling said was true; with their company's capabilities, if they claimed to be second in the construction industry, few would dare to claim to be first.

Then Liu Yuyang began to speak again: "There are some specific details about the project that I need to discuss with you." After Liu Yuyang finished speaking, he started to talk incessantly about his project plan, and Chen Ling followed up with Liu Yuyang's ideas and began to discuss them. The two of them talked back and forth for nearly half an hour before finalizing the entire project plan.

After the two finished speaking, Chen Ling said, "I'll give you the blueprints before I leave work this afternoon." This time, Chen Ling was the one who needed to design the project blueprints, and he said firmly to Liu Yuyang.

After discussing it, Liu Yuyang left. Once he was gone, Chen Ling began working on the sketches. When Chen Ling was focused, he looked really handsome. He adopted a professional demeanor, taking a pencil and starting to draw his project design on the paper.

The entire design blueprint had already appeared in Chen Ling's mind, and he quickly sketched out his ideas. Time passed slowly, and by mid-afternoon, Chen Ling had finished the blueprint. His design depicted an irregularly shaped building. He abandoned the conventional, orderly building layout, instead using a sloping perspective to create a unique visual effect. Chen Ling's design talent was truly remarkable.

Looking at the design in front of him, Chen Ling felt it was perfect; he was very optimistic about it. After handing the design to Liu Yuyang, Chen Ling went downstairs to find something to eat. He hadn't eaten yet after working so hard for so long.

After Liu Yuyang saw Chen Ling's design drawings, he was also amazed by the building on the drawings. It was the first time he had seen this type of building, and he couldn't help but feel curious. Then he began to observe the drawings little by little.
