My buildings have attributes

However, at this moment, Li Ran said, "If there's nothing else, I'll go back now."

"You're leaving already? Aren't you going to have dinner with us?" Mr. Xu asked in surprise.

"Let's skip dinner today. We can eat another time. Let's find some time to have a few drinks," Li Ran said, looking at President Xu for a moment before continuing.

"Do you have something to do back home?" President Xu asked Li Ran.

"Yes, my daughter has had a fever these past two days. I had something to do yesterday and got home late. She was already asleep by then, so I didn't have time to spend with her. I was thinking of getting home earlier today," Li Ran explained.

"Alright then, you're going to be a good husband and a good father, and as your brother, all I can do is support you. Okay, I won't keep you any longer. You can go back now, and if you need anything, just call me. Don't be shy," Mr. Xu instructed Li Ran.

Chapter 422 Actionist 3

Upon hearing what President Xu said, Li Ran smiled and nodded without any hesitation. Then, Li Ran said goodbye to President Xu and prepared to leave.

"I'm going back now," Li Ran said, waving his hand.

"Okay, I'll see you off," Mr. Xu said quickly after hearing this.

After Mr. Xu escorted Li Ran to the door, he said a few more words, and then Li Ran went back inside. Mr. Xu then turned and went upstairs.

At this point, Li Ran did not return to the company, but went straight home.

"I'm back," Li Ran said as soon as she entered the house.

Upon hearing the noise, Chen Xiaoqi quickly came out of the room. She then asked, "Why are you back so early today?"

"I wasn't at the company this afternoon. I went out to take care of something. Sit down, I have something to tell you," Li Ran said excitedly.

"What's wrong? You seem so happy." Seeing this, Chen Xiaoqi quickly sat down with Qingqing in her arms and then asked directly.

"Take a look at this information first." Li Ran took out a file from the file bag and then began to speak.

"Okay." Chen Xiaoqi looked at the mysterious Li Ran and said with a puzzled expression.

Chen Xiaoqi then opened the document that Li Ran handed her and began to read it.

"This..." Chen Xiaoqi exclaimed in surprise as soon as she opened it.

"How are you? Are you happy?" Li Ran asked Chen Xiaoqi.

However, after hearing what Li Ran said, Chen Xiaoqi did not answer Li Ran's question directly, but instead said, "How did you do this? When did you start doing it? I had no idea. You were so fast!"

"What you've seen is only a small part; there's a big surprise to come! Keep reading," Li Ran said, pointing to the document.

Upon hearing this, Chen Xiaoqi was extremely surprised. She wondered what the surprise Li Ran was referring to could be. She then continued flipping through the pages, initially thinking nothing of it, until she reached the very end and discovered something: the project proposal had been finalized and even had substantial funding. This greatly astonished Chen Xiaoqi.

"When did you start this? What's the funding situation? Where did you find so much money?" Chen Xiaoqi asked anxiously, worried that Li Ran had done something foolish.

"Don't worry about that, I have a way of handling this. I've already taken care of everything for you. Now you can start thinking about the design style of the studio. I've already chosen the location for you and rented the place for you," Li Ran said with a smile.

However, after hearing what Li Ran said, Chen Xiaoqi was very worried and then said, "Tell me quickly, where did you get this funding? Don't tell me you did something wrong."

"Silly girl, what foolish thing could I possibly do? Really. Don't worry, I won't. This money is an investment I brought in for you legitimately. I didn't steal it or cheat you. Just take it and use it." Li Ran explained.

"No, you have to explain to me where this money came from. Who is this person who is so generous as to give you so much money all at once?" Chen Xiaoqi continued to press.

"Look why you're still pressing the issue. It's about my old friend. He said he was involved in investments, so I asked him to invest. We used to be pretty close, like roommates, so of course he invested in me. I didn't expect him to invest so much, but he gave me so much money all at once. I guess he's not short of cash, right?" Li Ran started off speaking casually, but by the end, he couldn't help but laugh.

"What's wrong? What are you laughing at?" Chen Xiaoqi asked Li Ran curiously.

"Haha, I'm laughing at him. Do you know what he told me? He only agreed to invest money in me because of you," Li Ran said, looking at Chen Xiaoqi.

"Why do you say that?" Chen Xiaoqi asked Li Ran, puzzled.

"Yeah. Because he said my personality isn't very good. When I first asked him to invest in this project, he felt that the returns would take too long and weren't very stable, so from a business perspective, he wasn't willing to invest. But because we have a good personal relationship, he said he was willing to invest the money for me. But I refused. I said I wanted him to see a return and approve of the project before investing. So he thinks I'm too serious, and that I should think things through for the family, for Qingqing, and for you. He said that after all these years, my personality is still the same." Li Ran started thinking about what President Xu had said to her and told Chen Xiaoqi.

"Oh, because of that. Okay then. Haha. I think your serious personality is quite good." Chen Xiaoqi said with a smile.

"Right? I think he's great too, but he just doesn't appreciate me," Li Ran said with a smile.

Just then, after hearing what Li Ran said, Chen Xiaoqi quickly said to Li Ran, "You're getting all cocky just from being called fat, really. You're so easily flattered, you're already getting cocky after just a couple of compliments."

"Of course! It's just that I don't often see you praising me, so I'm quite happy," Li Ran said with a grin.

“Okay, if you want me to praise you more, I’ll praise you more in the future,” Chen Xiaoqi said to Li Ran.

It's clear how good Chen Xiaoqi's mood is right now.

“Look, we’ve been talking here the whole time, and Qingqing hasn’t made a fuss at all,” Li Ran said, touching Qingqing’s cheek.

"Haha, it's probably our daughter who realized we were talking about serious matters, so she didn't dare to disturb us." Chen Xiaoqi glanced at Qingqing upon seeing this, and then continued.

"That should be it, haha," Li Ran said with a laugh.

"Hey, I have to say you're really a man of action. We just finalized this yesterday, and you've already got it done today. I really didn't expect things to start so smoothly; I wasn't even confident yet," Chen Xiaoqi continued to say to Li Ran.

"It's okay, we all believe in you, you can definitely do it. I spent all morning writing this proposal, then ran around looking at storefronts for you at noon, and then asked my friend who registers companies to expedite the registration for you! As soon as it was registered, I took it to my friends to invest, now all that's missing is you." Li Ran said to Chen Xiaoqi with a smile.

Chapter 423 How to Decorate? Simple

As Chen Xiaoqi listened to Li Ran recount her achievements, she felt deeply moved. She truly hadn't expected Li Ran to handle all these matters so well for her. Li Ran's actions today had genuinely touched her.

"Thank you," Chen Xiaoqi said earnestly, looking at Li Ran.

"Why are you thanking me? We're family, no need for thanks. Tomorrow's Sunday, I'll take you to the studio so we can think about how to decorate it," Li Ran said again.

Just then, Chen Xiaoqi quickly looked at Li Ran and said, "Are you so busy today that you've gone crazy? Do you still need to think about the renovation? How to renovate? It's simple, just ask my brother. Have you forgotten what he does?"

“Oh right, look how busy I’ve been today. How could I forget about your brother, such a capable person? This is perfect, his company doesn’t have any projects lately, so they’re not too busy right now. Let’s hurry up and get him to do the renovations.”

“Yes, I’ll call him right now and ask if he has time,” Chen Xiaoqi said quickly.

Just then, Li's mother came out and said, "Li Ran, when did you get back?"

"Mom, I've been back for a long time. I've been chatting with Xiaoqi for ages. Why are you only coming out now?" Li Ran asked her mother.

"I was just asleep and didn't hear you. Okay, are you hungry? I'll go make some food first. You two can continue chatting." Li's mother said, then turned and walked towards the kitchen.

At that moment, Chen Xiaoqi was on the phone with Chen Ling.

"Hey bro, I need your help urgently," Chen Xiaoqi said immediately after the call connected.

"What is it? Just say it." Chen Ling said calmly from the other end.

However, Chen Xiaoqi couldn't contain her joy at this moment, and then cheerfully said to Chen Ling, "Yesterday, he told me to open a studio, and today Li Ran finalized it. He's already found a shop for me and an investor. Now all that's left is the studio's renovation. So I wanted to ask if you have time tomorrow? If you do, could you come with me to the studio and give me some advice? Ideally, you could even design it for me yourself!"

"Wow, that's fast! Li Ran, you're really efficient. I only mentioned it yesterday, and you've already got it all done today. You're quite capable. Well, I don't have time tomorrow. It really depends on your own preference," Chen Ling continued from the other end.

"You don't have time tomorrow? If you're busy tomorrow, what about the day after tomorrow? If that's really not possible, could you find one of your company's designers to help me design something? Interior design is too specialized; I'm not really capable of that. I only know how to coordinate things to make them look good, but for the actual work, I'll have to go to you guys!" Chen Xiaoqi said in a somber tone, feeling somewhat disappointed after hearing Chen Ling's words.

"Just know what looks good to you, and leave the rest to the decorator. They'll handle it all. All you need to do is draw what you like. That shouldn't be too difficult for you," Chen Ling continued.

"How can this not be difficult for me? This is really hard for me. You know I'm terrible with my hands, how could I draw? If I could draw, I would be learning art from you too! You really know how to bring up the wrong thing. You're not doing this on purpose, are you?" Chen Xiaoqi began to question Chen Ling.

"I didn't mean it on purpose. Okay, I'll see if I have time tomorrow. Wait for my call tomorrow." Chen Ling said again.

"You really showed off today," Chen Xiaoqi said helplessly to Chen Ling.

"Haha, you saw right through me. Looks like I didn't put on a good act." Chen Ling said with a smile.

"What could you possibly be busy with tomorrow, Sunday? Honestly, you're definitely doing this on purpose. Come or don't come, it's up to you. Without you, I can't find a designer to renovate my place, really." At this point, Chen Xiaoqi started to take the initiative.

At this moment, Chen Ling, sitting opposite him, smiled helplessly and said, "Alright, alright, I didn't say I wouldn't help. Honestly, look at you. Why are you so impatient? It's not good for a young person to be so impulsive."

"Why didn't you just agree so readily from the beginning? It's so annoying how you drag things out all the time," Chen Xiaoqi said again.

"Alright, alright, I'm not kidding anymore. It's settled then. Just tell me in advance when you want me to come over tomorrow, or you can tell me now." Chen Ling said again.

"Then let's do it as soon as possible, the sooner the better. You see how efficient you are at getting things done, Li Ran, so of course I have to strike while the iron is hot," Chen Xiaoqi said.

"Okay, I'll head over after breakfast tomorrow morning! Send me your location, you have to be there when I get there, okay? You can't make me wait for you, you hear me? Don't let Ningxue come over tomorrow, let her rest at home." Chen Ling said again.

“Okay, then you can come by yourself tomorrow. That way we'll save money on a meal.” At that moment, Chen Xiaoqi couldn’t help but say with a smile.

"Why have you become so stingy and petty lately? You're not even willing to pay for this meal? Honestly, then I won't go tomorrow." Chen Ling asked helplessly after hearing Chen Xiaoqi's words.

After Chen Ling finished speaking, Chen Xiaoqi was heard laughing non-stop.

"That's how it is. Let me tell you, I'm just so stingy. I just didn't want to treat you to that meal," Chen Xiaoqi said deliberately.

"Well then, I won't go. You can decide for yourself." Chen Ling said again.

However, at this moment, Chen Xiaoqi started laughing non-stop.

"Alright, alright, let's stop here for now, we'll talk about it tomorrow. I'm home now," Chen Ling said at this point.

"Huh? Why haven't you gone back yet?" Chen Xiaoqi asked hurriedly.

"I just finished my work and I'm still on my way," Chen Ling said casually.

Chen Xiaoqi then said, "Ah, okay, then drive carefully on your way. I'll hang up now. Go home."

"Okay," Chen Ling said quickly, then hung up the phone and continued driving.

Chapter 424 Interior Decoration 1

After hanging up the phone, Chen Ling focused on driving. Li Lili didn't go to the company today either, because she went to accompany Chen's mother and father to pick out some things.

Chen Ling quickly returned home and then saw Li Lili.

"When did you get back?" Chen Ling asked Li Lili.

"I've been back for a while," Li Lili replied.

"Okay, by the way, I have something to tell you. The matter of Xiaoqi's studio has been settled. The studio and the funds are all in place now. She asked me to help her take a look at the decoration. I'll go over and check it out for her tomorrow," Chen Ling said to Li Lili.

"Then I'll go with you!" Li Lili said quickly after hearing this.

"What's wrong? You should rest at home and stop going out all the time," Chen Ling said quickly after hearing this.

"I don't want to stay at home doing nothing. Look, I went out shopping with my parents today and everything was fine, right? Tomorrow you'll definitely take me there directly, right? We'll just go straight there, nothing will happen, okay?" Li Lili said coquettishly at this moment.

"Um, this..." Chen Ling hesitated at this moment.

"Please?" Li Lili grabbed Chen Ling's arm and shook it repeatedly.

"Okay, then. Let's make it clear first, we'll be right back after we go tomorrow, so you're not allowed to pester me to take you anywhere else." Chen Ling explained the rules to Li Lili at this point.

"Hey, if you hadn't mentioned it, I really wouldn't have thought of asking you to take me somewhere else. Now that you've suggested it, I think it's a great idea. Anyway, with you there, what are you worried about?" Li Lili said with a smile.

“I can’t do it anymore. You should take care of your health now, and be responsible for yourself and the baby. Okay, I won’t say any more to you. If you still want me to take you somewhere else, then I won’t take you there tomorrow.” Chen Ling said to Li Lili seriously.
