Chapter 262 You think yousd win? (2/2)
After they were served tea and made their introduction, Engr. Choi had politely inquired of her. ”Miss Yang, are you here for a house service?” He assumed that Lexi wanted to build a house of her own, but still, it was shocking that there are even better and more well-known engineers to contract with instead of him, yet Engr. Choi didn't care about how and why she had chosen him.
What's important was he knew that whatever she wanted to get done, it will at least prolong his dying company.
”Haha,” Lexi chuckled upon hearing his question. ”No, Engr. Choi, I am not here to ask you to build a house for me.”
”Huh?”
”I am here for a renovation...” With that said note, Lexi slid her hand inside her handbag and picked up a folder which she handed to him.
Engineer Choi received the folder and checked it's contents. The moment he saw a picture of an old establishment, his eyes dilated while his mind started to compute how much money was needed to renovate the place. Upon coming up to an estimate of a few tens of millions, he could not help but gasp and turned to her who was just sitting there smiling humbly.
”Three months.” Lexi didn't wait for him to recover as she muttered. ”I want it done in three months— no extension. If you gave me a satisfying end-product, you won't have to worry about your company's future projects.” Her words were honest and straightforward that were akin to numerous fireworks, firing right before his ear that made him momentarily go into a daze.
Did she know about his company's state? What did she mean he would never have to worry about his future projects?
”M- Mi— iss..” He stuttered, embarrassing his foolish self for being unable to get himself together. Understandably, this would be the biggest break he would ever come across in his career.
”Well, I must excuse myself first. I will send you the details as I prefer to add them onto it. Please give me the outline as soon as possible— preferably within this week.” Lexi didn't mind him entering into a state of shock, rather she was amused by his genuine reaction which she already had expected.

Lexi and Engr. Choi discussed more things in detail: initial estimation, budgets, designs, and so on and so forth when he finally recovered before she left the establishment.
As soon as Lexi entered her car, she got her phone and speed-dialed Ethan Lu's number that has a contact name: Big Bao. The first ring wasn't even finished when the line was picked up and immediately connected soon after.
”Love you~” Was his first greeting that made her lips bloom into a lovely smile.
”I am outside Choi's Builders.”
”Woah... so the bet is on?” He was in awe while he was in the middle of a meeting that made everyone inside the large conference room pause for a moment as the rest of the people inside stared at him with shocked looks, Ethan Lu said without a care to his surroundings.
”Mhmm, what? You think you'd win?” Smirking, Lexi arched her brows as she humored him.
”Hehe,” Ethan Lu only chuckled as the thought of winning their bet would also be great as Lexi would take his helping hand. However, even if he lost, he wouldn't mind being squeezed out dry to benefit this cunning lady of his.
”Huh, you have to say hi to your new project engineer in three months. Bye~ I still have a class to attend, love you~” Lexi didn't wait for his response as she hung up the call shortly after she uttered those last words.
”I— love you...” Hearing the beeping sound indicating that the line was cut short, Ethan Lu frowned as she did it again— hung up on him. Sensing the odd silence around him, Ethan Lu raised his gaze and saw everyone was looking in his direction.
”What? Continue.” Furrowing his brows, he blankly uttered and that snapped everyone back from their momentary daze as if they were the ones who obstructed the presentation.
”*Cough* Yes, master.”
