The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family

Chapter 3758



Charlie laughed. "We can give them a chance to show off the car to vent and exhaust their energy. If we don't give them this chance to brag, they'll grow resentful to us for at least a year or two, or even longer! They'll groan and sigh at us whenever we're home, and blame us for not keeping the car. It's better to keep the car and satisfy them."

Charlie thought of something, and then flashed Claire with a gentle smile. He arched his brow and asked," Wife, what do you think?"

Hearing that, Claire shook her head helplessly and lamented, "You're right... If we do return the car, I guess the two of them won't be able to get over this for the next year or two."

However, Claire suddenly grew worried. "Husband, isn't Ms. Jane being too generous...? All you did was take your time to look at her villa's Feng Shui earlier this morning. Yet, she gave us such an expensive car in return for your help. It seems very inappropriate..."

Charlie remained indifferent and replied nonchalantly, "There's nothing wrong with it. That's because she needs a favor from me."

Claire hesitated a little before adding, "This afternoon, a lady named Connor came to see me at the office. She came to make an appointment with me to meet and talk about the renovation of the Sonfo Valley villa..."

"Oh?" Charlie asked with interest. "Is Ms. Jane planning to hire you for the villa's renovation?"

Claire nodded. "Seems like it."

She pursed her lips and continued, "Ms. Connor gave me a briefing on their budget. They budgeted fifty million dollars for the renovation, including five million dollars for the design fee alone..."

Most people generally disapproved of the interior design fees in the local renovation market. To the vast majority, ordinary designers charging dollars per square feet in design costs were simply daylight robbery. Therefore, people looking to engage interior design companies for renovation will ask the interior design company to discount the design fees.

Most interior design companies were good at fooling their customers. They would present some readymade design templates for the client to choose from and then call it a day.

The client did not spend a single penny on the design fee, but received a satisfactory result from the renovation. Over time, people became more and more reluctant to pay for the interior design fee.

This caused an awkward situation and gave rise to much regret for many interior designers in the local market.

Claire had been doing renovation work for a long time. Most home improvement clients were very generous with the renovation budget, but extremely stingy in paying the design fee.

It was very rare for her to meet anyone like Kylie, who was willing to spend 10% of her total budget for the design fee.

Charlie was quite surprised to hear Kylie's budget. It wasn't the huge amount of five million dollars for the design fee that surprised him, however. Rather, he was quite astonished by Kylie's way of doing things.

Kylie deliberately approached him with an ulterior motive. She approached him by catering to the people around him and pleasing them. First, she donated some works of art to the Calligraphy and Painting Association and agreed to sponsor fifty million dollars for a local art exhibition. Then she gave Jacob a Rolls-Royce Cullinan and a fifty million dollars project to Claire.

It felt like someone was quietly observing him with a gun pointing at him, but the gun fired candy instead of bullets.

Charlie found the huge contrast hilarious.

Claire noticed Charlie's silence and grew anxious." Husband, say... Is Ms. Jane giving me such a huge project because she needs your help? Is that why she gave Dad a Cullinan?"

Charlie kept his calm face and nodded indifferently," That's right.'

Claire hurriedly asked, "Will it be appropriate for me to accept her project? If not, I'll just turn them down."All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

Claire said awkwardly, "But, her budget for the renovation and the interior designer fees... She can easily hire a well-known interior designer tocally and not come me. There's a huge premium here. I'm afraid I'll make you owe her a favor instead... I'd cause you trouble if you didn't want to help her at first, but had to help because of these trivial matters."

Charlie laughed. "Wife, you don't have to feel burdened by this. Kylie will need my help for a huge favor. A trivial matter like this is far from enough to repay the favor she wants from me!"
