Chapter 819: Chapter 341: New Problem—Tribulation (3)

Zhao Anni rolled her eyes furiously: "Why do you care when I’ll get it done? Anyway, your engagement is next year, so what’s the rush?!"

"Oh..."

Then, Pan became unhappy too.

Alright, everyone perished except for Zhao Anni!

...

At noon, the group had a simple meal at Juntin’s club, and in the afternoon, Zhao Anni and Luo Zhen started calling in people.

With nearly a hundred million on the table, the entire industry went into an uproar.

Almost all of the top ten renovation companies, design studios, and independent designers showed up.

Once everyone arrived, Luo Zhen gave each of them a complete set of floor plans, structure diagrams, and standard data. After meeting with Han Lie, he sent them off.

Han Lie’s requirements were very simple—modern minimalism, modern avant-garde, or tech-futuristic, choose one.

His exact words were: "I have no preference for style, the actual effect determines the quality."

Actually, Han Lie personally loved the new Chinese style the most, but the problem was, it wouldn’t work this time.

Firstly, the new Chinese style isn’t very mature yet, heavily reliant on the designer’s personal depth and inspiration. The associated furniture and soft furnishings are also hard to coordinate.

Secondly, the Mediterranean-style villa, no matter how you remodel its exterior, remains clearly European.

It’s impossible to have a European exterior and a new Chinese interior; that’s too disjointed.

So now it’s down to one of the three options.

The process went roughly like this—designers submitted rough drafts, and if Han Lie found them acceptable, he would meet with them to hear their overall design ideas.

If they clicked further, then they moved to the next selection round, where a more detailed proposal would be made.

Finally, among several proposals, the best one would be selected to sign a formal contract.

To boost enthusiasm, Zhao Anni decided that each proposal making it to the next round would receive a service fee, ensuring designers wouldn’t work in vain.

Of course, it couldn’t compare to the final winning proposal, which would be substantial money.

However, as long as there was compensation, the designers’ creativity would not lack.

It’s uncertain if it would be a partial or full package, as Zhao Anni’s involvement introduced some changes to the original plans.

The construction period was estimated to be 6 to 8 months. After some airing, it would be habitable by early next year.

By then, Han Lie would be fully settled in the Magic Capital and wouldn’t need to live in hotels anymore...

In less than a year since rebirth, he’s been riding high, who else can compare?!

But honestly, living in a villa isn’t as comfortable as staying in the presidential suite of a top hotel, really.

The simplest reason—when the spa at the hotel gets a new therapist, someone will immediately inform Scoundrel Lie and ask if he’d like to give it a try. Does living in a villa offer this kind of perk?

And in the top hotel’s restaurants, bars, terraces, and even the lobby, you often run into one or two stunning beauties. Even if nothing happens, just admiring them can add some color to an otherwise dull life, right?

Alas, the freewheeling days are about to end!

As for Bro Lie’s long-awaited extra spending experience...

Forget about it, it’s not happening. Zhao Anni has gone berserk.

However, after transferring 168 million RMB for the purchase to Hua Zhou, and then Pan Ge signing and sealing the purchase contract, the 336 million spending experience from buying a villa as a gift for the beauty was instantly credited.

It’s somewhat regrettable that this large expense didn’t activate any bonus gifts or critical hits this time.

After having dinner at the Pan Family, Han Lie made a perfectly decent farewell, avoiding Pan’s woeful gaze, and quickly made his exit.

Back at the hotel, the first thing he did was max out his current attributes.

[Basic Attributes: Strength 89, Agility 89, Constitution 89, Intelligence 89]

[Secondary Attributes: Appearance 89, Physique 89, Health 89, Special 89]

[Experience: 106.28 million]

[Cash: 144.58 million]

[In-production and undelivered gifts: 27 million Mi Yuan ≈ 165 million RMB]

Feeling the surging strength within him, Han Lie unleashed a set of combo punches, feeling like a human weapon.

Not daring to claim he could beat peak Tyson.

Anyone of similar weight class, regardless of their training, lasting more than 5 seconds against him would have to have exceptional talent.

A man reaching this level naturally develops a fearless and bold spirit, making fear and weakness almost obsolete.

Han Lie just felt like, whoever dares tomorrow, bring it on, all will be dealt with!

Just after boasting, Zhazha suddenly called.

"Hey, hey, I’m back in the Magic Capital!"

What?!

The fierce Han instantly shrank his neck, pragmatically beginning to consider how to ride through the storm.
