Chapter 42

The breeze rose, and the night was cold. Summer Mu got off the car and looked up to see the lake shimmering with dim light, surrounded by trees. A clubhouse stood among them, in the suburbs, incredibly quiet.

She entered the club and walked for a while before arriving at the large suite under Beck's care. Gently pushing open the door, Beck leaned on the sofa under the peaceful light, with two young foreign men sitting beside him.

When he saw her, he said to them with a low voice and a smile: "... that is Summer... " The two foreigners were both in straight shirts, and instantly showed a clear and excited look. Summer Mu felt that their eyes were not quite right, and indeed heard them vaguely say, "Your girl?" "She is beautiful..." Then Beck lightly "Hmm."

Summer Mu:"… "

After all, he walked over as if nothing had happened and greeted two foreigners with a smile. Beck also acted nonchalantly and recommended them. The taller one was Anthony, the chief designer he hired, and the shorter one was his assistant. Since they came, Beck had been letting them live in the clubhouse, and the design plan had been made here, completely airtight. Today, he also invited Summer Mu to come and listen to their final design proposal.

The three of them were chatting in English again, very fluently, mixed with some American slang. Summer Mu sat next to Beck, some understood, while others were confused. Beck suddenly turned his head to look at her and asked, "Do you understand?"

Summer Mu shook her head.

"Didn't you do very well in high school? In the future, there will be more occasions like this. Don't neglect your English. "He said.

This sentence touched on Summer Mu's long-standing thoughts. She said, "I have thought about going abroad in the future."

Beck's eyes were slightly stunned as he asked, "Where do you want to go?"

"The United States."

He suddenly smiled and said, "America is pretty good. What do you want to do in America?"

Summer Mu replied, "If that's possible, I would like to go to school."

Staring at him with four eyes, he whispered under the light, "You can go anywhere you want."

The woman I loved, she went wherever she wanted.

Summer Mu's heart trembled, feeling as if his eyes were like a bottomless abyss, and if he didn't leave a trace, he would sink into it. She lowered her head and avoided his gaze.

 If it weren't for the two big light bulbs standing next to him, Beck would have wanted to hold her hand now. There were already enough trials and temptations, and he didn't want to tolerate her dodging anymore.

Four people entered the conference room, and Anthony began to explain the design plan to them. Although she couldn't fully understand it, with the help of text and pictures, Summer Mu also got a rough idea.

Anthony gave a good evaluation of the current level of real estate construction in L City. Especially in R's real estate projects, there was a strong emphasis on the rationality of unit design, with good greenery and quality. Although the plot ratio was a bit high, it was much stronger than the many cities he had seen crazily building unchanging real estate projects.

"However, these real estate designs lack soul. "Anthony said." Beck, you have always been a disruptor in the industry. The plan I am designing for you must be unique and resonate with your soul. No matter which plot of land you are aiming for, A, B, or C, I hope it can help you defeat stronger opponents."

He played a 3D animated simulation video.

Firstly, a twilight appeared. In the mist, a forest emerged. Bird songs, stream sounds, and sunlight piercing through. People seemed to be truly immersed in the forest.

The sunshine was becoming clearer and the morning mist was dissipating. But it turned out that the forest was not a forest, but a patch of uneven trees. Several crow blue antique style high-rise buildings stood silently among them.

"That's soul building. "Anthony whispered.

Summer Mu's heart was filled with tranquility. She really liked this calm and antique opening. Upon closer inspection, one would notice that the entire area was not as flat as an ordinary residential area. But based on the terrain, there were slight undulations. And those trees, apple trees, pomegranate trees, acacia trees, ginkgo trees... were scattered among them. If you walked on the forest path, you didn't feel that this was an artificial community at all, but an extremely quiet and beautiful jungle.

The water was drawn from a distant lake, a narrow expanse of water winding between several buildings. This water was called 'Night Observation'. Because the filming in the video was at night. The bright moon hanged high, one in the sky and one below the building. The artistic conception was so beautiful that it made you feel like you were in a paradise on earth.

Then, he entered the building. Firstly, the porch downstairs. There was no modern and magnificent entrance hall, but only a quiet door. On the plain wall hanged a medieval candlestick lamp. The warm yellow light shone on the grass and path in front of the door.

The majority of the layouts were 80-90 square meters for two bedroom apartments. And because the building adopted a retractable design and the landscape adopts a surrounding design, the same green field and river landscape can be seen from the windows of each household. In the thin mist, the buildings outside the community seemed to be far apart, like the mundane world.

The most exciting part was the entrance balcony of each household. The green plants on the balcony would be prepared before moving in. Designed by Anthony's friend, the best landscape designer in the United States. When you stood on the balcony and look out, you would feel that the green beside you was a part of the scenery outside the window. Like that flowing and lush green, it had also flowed into your home.

Because the vast majority of the area was spent on the landscape, there were no public clubs, shops, or restaurants in the community, and all parking lots had been moved underground. Strict security measures had been set up only in the southeast, northwest, and all directions. In addition, a branch school of a key primary school would be built in the northwest corner of the community, which required a high cost to introduce.

The unit price of the property was one-third higher than that of the same location, but due to the control of single household area, the total price was not too high.

...

"Beck, after completing this project, you may not necessarily make a lot of money. However, all the residents of L City will definitely want to buy your house."Anthony said.

Beck replied, "This is exactly what I want. Currently, the overall real estate market is sluggish, and what I want to create is a product that goes against the market trend."

He turned to look at Summer Mu and said, 'What do you think?'

Summer Mu was still looking at the screen, as if reminiscing. She replied, "Do you know which part I like the most?"

"Which part?"

"My favorite is the lamp in front of the door. It returns to me on a snowy night, reflecting the path of time. It makes me feel the warmth of home."

Beck smiled faintly.

 " However, the design of this property is really good, very good. "Summer Mu said seriously." It's done so well, so special. I think it will definitely impress those who are bidding for the government. This will be a special landscape for L City. Customers will definitely want to buy it, and I want to buy a set."

"You will have better things in the future."he said.

Summer Mu turned his head and didn't look at him. "Hmm, I will save money to buy a house myself." he said

Beck remained silent.

Inspired by Anthony, Summer Mu transformed the plan she had made at Q Cafe. She stayed up all night, showcasing F's uniqueness and potential in all aspects. She believed that there would always be investors who would be tempted by this plan.

That day, she met Fang again in the coffee shop. The two of them were already quite familiar. Fang waved at her and even gave her two cans of honey.

Summer Mu asked, "Why are you giving me this?"

Fang replied, "Someone gave it to me. I don't eat sweets. You little girls should love to eat it, right?"

Summer Mu has rarely spent time with her elders in recent years. With a warm heart, she said, "Thank you. Next time, I will bring you J specialties."

Fang just smiled.

Summer Mu took the opportunity to say, "By the way, I have made a new planning plan. Fang, can you take a look and give me some advice?"

Fang was quite interested and said, "Okay."

The two of them went to the small conference room inside the cafe- which was also the unique feature of the startup cafe. At this moment, Summer Mu was fully focused, vividly demonstrating and explaining the plan to him.

After listening, Fang didn't hide his admiration and surprise: "You spoke very well. I didn't know before that F is such a company with ideas and quality. Your leaders are very good, no wonder you can capture a city in L City in such a short time."

Summer Mu just smiled and replied, "He is very, very excellent."

Fang glanced at her.

Summer Mu said again, " Fang, do you think my plan can attract investment?"

"Sure. " Fang said with great certainty," it's just a matter of time."

Summer Mu's heart was filled with joy.

At this moment, Fang smiled and said, " Mu, I have an unfeeling request. Can you do me a favor?"

Summer Mu's heart stirred and he said, "Sure, you can say it."

 "Your plan is done very well. Can you help me come up with a plan for the renewable environmental resource project I am currently working on? I can pay you a fee."

Summer Mu immediately replied, "You don't need the salary. As a retired professor, you probably don't have much financial resources. I will do my best, but I don't know if I can help you."

Fang looked into her eyes, as if he had seen through everything, or as if he was just looking at her with clear eyes and a slight smile.

Afterwards, Summer Mu endured for several more days, really putting in all his strength and risking being wiped clean by eating dry food, to consult with Beck, and finally made the old formula's plan come to fruition.

On the day he presented the plan to Fang, he was quite happy and kept nodding, even patting her head like a child, saying, "Not bad, done very well. If everyone could be as dedicated and transparent as you in their work, there would be nothing impossible in the world."

Summer Mu just smiled proudly and didn't mention anything else to him.

Two days later, Fang took the initiative to call her and said that the renewable resources project had been successfully approved, and he wanted to invite her to dinner.

For Summer Mu, this was both unexpected and reasonable. Secretly, there was also some envy. F's plan had been shown to several people in the coffee shop, but she had not received any investment yet.

That evening, she carefully selected and put on a set of elegant and beautiful clothes. Just as she was about to leave the office, she was caught by Beck. He said indifferently, "Are you dressed so beautifully and going to see people?"

Summer Mu replied, "Didn't you let me step into the world of fame and fortune."

Beck remained silent. Summer Mu smiled faintly and left.

Fang was a simple person and chose a clean and affordable mid-range restaurant for entertaining guests. Summer Mu didn't mind either, she still felt friendly.She wasn't polite to him either, she ordered several signature dishes and had a great time eating them.

 Fang chatted with her and said, "You are from J. Who else is there at home?"

"It's gone. "Summer Mu replied.

 Fang was taken aback.

"My parents passed away a few years ago. "she answered calmly.

Fang's eyes showed a hint of undisguised pity as he nodded and said, "You're pretty good. You should be considered independent and strong among your peers."

Mu gave a soft smile.

 The two of them chatted for a while, discussing her thoughts on future studies, the clothing industry in L City, and of course, F. Finally, Fang said, "You made a plan for me and did me a favor. I remember this favor. If you need my help in the future, feel free to ask. Of course, it must be done without violating my principles of handling things."

Summer Mu pounded the dishes in the bowl with chopsticks. She felt that the heat should be about the same, but she also had a bit of uncertainty about Fang's attitude. So tentatively, she said, "Actually, I don't need much help from others. It's just that our entire company is focused on the upcoming real estate project. Next week, it's the government's land bidding. As you know, F is a very excellent and quality-oriented company, but its strength is not as good as other companies. If you can help us in any way, it would be very valuable."

 Fang's face remained calm and there was no sign of anger or anger. He said, "Government bidding is a very fair and just thing. We can only rely on our own strength, and no one can or should help any party."

Summer Mu immediately looked up at him and said, "No, we will never seek help that violates our principles and is unfair to other companies. We just need to do a small favor - can we proceed with the land bidding order in the order of C, B, and finally A?"

Fang was taken aback.

Following Beck's instructions, Summer Mu continued, "This is just an insignificant sequence arrangement that will not affect anyone's interests and principles."

——

A few days later in the morning, Beck drove with Summer Mu, Anthony, and real estate manager Sun to the designated location of the relevant department to bid.
