Speaking, he rushed into the master bedroom and muttered for a while, and two disheveled men followed him out.
"This is him, Chen Dongyang, our company's chief designer. You can communicate with him directly about anything in the future."
Hearing the words "chief designer," Chen Dongyang felt like throwing up.
The boss could say anything with such confidence.
Looking at his disheveled appearance, did he look like a designer at all?
The woman opposite him would surely mock him.
As expected, after the boss introduced him, Tian Tian couldn't hold back her smile and turned her face away to chuckle.
Chief designer?
It was hilarious to see a designer who personally smashed walls with a hammer.
Chen Dongyang took in her expression and felt he shouldn't have come on this trip.
Without caring about the thick layer of dust on his hands, he slapped the boss on the shoulder.
"Introduced. Can I go back to work?"
Wu Shuang didn't know if there were any problems with the order, so she tugged at Tian Tian's arm.
Tian Tian knew Wu Shuang didn't have money and could only afford this level of labor.
Since they guaranteed they would work diligently later, she decided to give them a chance to earn something.
"Alright. Then go back to work. I'll come over every few days, and I hope your progress will satisfy me. Otherwise, I will refuse to pay a portion of the funds according to the contract terms."
"Also. We plan to buy the materials ourselves. Let me know in advance what you need. I'll have the design drawings done later and have Wu Shuang send them to you. That's all I have to say. Do you have anything to add?"
They didn't want their designs, nor did they want them to purchase materials, just to do the manual labor?
What was the difference between this and finding a renovation team outside?
This woman was too shrewd!
The boss really wanted to retort a few words, but who was he to argue with the client?
"Miss Zhu, this is not what we discussed initially. Although you haven't fully entrusted us, we had a verbal agreement."
"From materials to renovation style, we were supposed to be in charge. You also said you had to work and didn't have time to manage everything, so our designers worked overtime to draw the design plans for you, and I also visited many markets to finalize the materials. Look at you now..."
The implication was that they weren't earning enough.
Wu Shuang might not have understood, but could Tian Tian not?
She didn't know about the verbal agreement because it wasn't written in the contract. She gave Wu Shuang a look, signaling her to stay quiet.
"Verbal agreement? Boss Huang, you've been in business for so many years, how can you say something so ridiculous?"
"In this day and age, people still rely on verbal agreements? I don't care about all that. Anyway, it's in black and white on the contract..."
Chen Dongyang realized that this wasn't someone difficult to deal with, but a competitor who came to disrupt their business.
Since they weren't being entrusted with anything, and there was no profit to be made from this order, why bother putting in so much effort? They might as well quit now.
He interrupted Tian Tian.
"Since you look down on our progress anyway, and you're so capable, why don't you terminate the contract now and let you handle the rest? We'll just take it as a loss and accept it. Just pay us the fees for before the new year."
How did it escalate to contract termination in just a few words?
The boss gave him a look and hurriedly tried to negotiate with Tian Tian again.
Tian Tian also realized that Chen Dongyang disliked her meddling and said sarcastically,
"Your chief designer doesn't want to do it anymore, so let's terminate the contract. We'll pay you every penny. Boss Huang, there's no point in talking further."
Boss Huang's face turned red with anxiety, and he looked at Wu Shuang again.
Wu Shuang pulled Tian Tian's arm and went to the window.
"Tian Tian, isn't this a bit too heartless?"
Tian Tian glared at her, "Are you stupid? As soon as you said you wouldn't help them buy materials and wouldn't provide design drawings, they refused to work. What does that mean? It means there's huge profit waiting for them in these two aspects!"
"They've already cast their net in front of you, and you're still jumping in? Aren't you being too much of a saint? You pity them for not having business, but do they pity you for not having money?"
Wu Shuang was stunned by her words and paused for two seconds.
"That's not what I meant. This boss was introduced by my colleague. My colleague said he has a good reputation in the industry and is quite conscientious. Everything was going well before, and suddenly..."
Tian Tian understood.
"Are you afraid your colleague will ask and it will be awkward? Is he your colleague's relative?"
"Not a relative, my colleague is also his client..."
"Then I have to say a few words to you. Wu Shuang Zhu, he's not your colleague's relative, why are you bothering with him so much? If he asks, just tell him the truth. For the sake of a little face, you're willing to let them swindle you out of money? Are you out of your mind?"
Wu Shuang fell silent again.
Tian Tian absolutely couldn't stand by and watch her get swindled, so she turned to talk about terminating the contract.
Wu Shuang grabbed her arm again, her face blushing like a tomato.
"Then I'll tell you the truth. I, I, I have a crush on their designer."
"What?"
"Oh, it's that guy named Chen Dongyang. I think I kind of like him."
Tian Tian stared at her flushed face for a few seconds, realized that this blockhead had finally opened up, and almost burst out laughing.
She managed her expression with effort and patted Wu Shuang's shoulder.
"So that's why. You should have said so earlier. Alright, alright, I understand. We won't terminate the contract. But I still have something to say."
"Ah, you still want to say something?"
Tian Tian glared at her again, "Think about it, when you're facing love as a girl, even if you know it's a trap, you still jump in. If he's a man, and he can sense your liking or likes you too, shouldn't he do something?"
"If he remains indifferent and insists on making money off you, then this black-hearted man is not worth having."
"I've decided to add a clause to the contract. You can be entrusted with it, but I need to be fully involved and keep an eye on you."
"It's tens of thousands of yuan in total. Every bit saved is a bit saved. How much do you earn in a year?"
Wu Shuang thought her suggestion was excellent.
It didn't disrupt her chances of interacting with Chen Dongyang, nor did it cause her financial loss, and it also allowed her to assess his character.
Killing three birds with one stone.
The two reached an agreement, returned to the room, Tian Tian stated her idea, and Boss Huang turned to ask for Chen Dongyang's opinion.
Chen Dongyang seemed to hear a hilarious joke and snorted coldly.
"If they don't trust us to this extent, I don't know what the point of this cooperation is. Do as you please, I'm not the boss anyway. If you say it's okay, then it's okay."
Boss Huang agreed, then gave Tian Tian his business card, saying they were of good quality and low price.
"The key is that our designer is young and handsome, the face of our entire company. Talking business with him puts you in a good mood."
"Really, quite a few female clients come for his looks. If your company has colleagues who need renovations in the future, please recommend us."
"Thank you, thank you."
