Chapter 2327 - 2287: Ye Baiwan

Ye Qiu is the most professional designer, and for that top-notch luxury house in East Sea City, he definitely needs to design it personally.

He worked tirelessly until late at night, and finally the design blueprint was completed.

Afterward, he took a bath and continued with his cultivation.

By early the next morning, Ye Qiu got up and freshened up, deciding not to attend classes at Jin University.

To him, Jin University no longer held much significance.

Moreover, Ye Qiu plans to focus on matters over in East Sea, so if he still wants to experience university life, he might consider finding a suitable university there to attend.

After freshening up, Ye Qiu sat down in the dining area, ready to have breakfast, when Ye Weidong asked, "Ye Qiu, if we move to East Sea, who will manage this place?"

Without someone to manage a house, it could quickly gather dust and cobwebs, possibly in less than half a month.

Even though the environment here is relatively good, the dust in the air would still drift inside the villa, and without care, the house would soon become uninhabitable.

If everyone moves to East Sea, the villa here surely won’t be occupied.

Additionally, the fish in the pond would require regular feeding.

This mansion worth tens of millions may seem like a waste to leave unattended, according to Ye Weidong and his wife.

"Mom, Dad, are you worried about the house not being managed?"

"Of course! Don’t you see us occasionally return to the old textile factory neighborhood to clean up?"

The old house in the textile factory neighborhood is only worth a few tens of thousands, yet the elderly couple occasionally makes time to tidy it up, having lived there for so many years, they’re reluctant to sell it.

"Why not just sell it?" Ye Qiu suggested.

"Sell it?"

The couple is clearly unwilling.

Besides, if they returned to Jinling, they’d surely stay here again.

"No, we can’t sell it."

Ye Weidong doesn’t want to sell these fixed assets, considering they aren’t short on money now.

"Then perhaps hire someone to manage it!"

With their current financial status, hiring a housekeeper to clean regularly would be sufficient.

After discussing it, Ye Weidong plans to visit East Sea today to check on the shops there.

Since returning yesterday, he hasn’t decided whether to rent those houses in the city center for the Imperial Cuisine Restaurant or to purchase a shop in the suburbs.

Many Fortune 500 companies couldn’t handle the high rentals in city centers.

Hence, many Fortune 500 companies moved their shops to suburbs, still thriving with lower rent costs.

The key is their reputation and quality which has gained consumers’ market recognition.

After pondering last night, Ye Weidong felt that renting those high-priced shops in the city felt like working for the landlord.

"I’m heading to East Sea today, are you coming?" Ye Weidong asked Ye Qiu.

"Dad, I’m not going, but I want to meet Ye Fugui."

Ye Fugui is currently assisting Ye Qiu with construction work.

Including the renovation of those Imperial Cuisine Restaurants and previously in Jade City, as well as the antiviral drug research labs, he handles it all.

His construction team is expanding increasingly.

While growth brings obvious benefits, it also presents challenges as he realizes managing all the tasks is beyond him.

He can’t delegate these tasks to others.

"You mean Uncle Fugui? Why do you want to see him?"

"There’s something I need to discuss with him."

Ye Weidong called Ye Fugui, who upon learning Ye Qiu wanted to meet him, insisted on coming over.

"He said he’ll come right away."

After Weidong drove to East Sea, Ye Xue and Chen Fang went ahead to the Imperial Cuisine Restaurant, Lin Xiang after breakfast had to return to school.

While Ye Qiu hasn’t moved to East Sea yet, she is attending classes at Jin University for now.

However, she has already applied to a university in East Sea.

After everyone left, only Ye Qiu and Xiaomai were left.

Xiaomai was feeding the fish.

She has grown quite fond of this place and didn’t expect Ye Qiu planning to leave here.

She’s somewhat unwilling to leave.

"Ye Qiu, if we move to East Sea, what about these fish?"

The Arowana and Silver Arowana here surely need care, and these fish are quite valuable, each worth tens or even hundreds of thousands.

Moreover, they’ve been raised so beautifully; having them accidentally killed by unskilled hands would be troublesome.

"Let’s see if we can bring them over to East Sea to raise?"

Moving these fish over might be a good idea.

About an hour and a half later, Ye Fugui arrived with his son.

His son is now his dedicated driver.

He’s visited here many times, yet each time it feels different.

"Ye Qiu, you wanted to see me!"

"Uncle Fugui, how’s the business going?"

"Ye Qiu, isn’t the work I’m doing now all given by you?"

Ye Fugui knows well that without Ye Qiu, he’d only manage small jobs with the migrant workers, even chasing debts from other construction sites yearly.

But since following Ye Qiu, payments are timely, no need for workers to chase debts nor worry any longer.

"Do you think you can keep up with it?"

Managing projects like developing a hot spring resort in Jinling would be beyond Ye Fugui’s capabilities.

"Me? It’s a bit challenging."

His team can handle fifteen to twenty people, but expanding further would be difficult.

"Are you satisfied being ’Ye Baiwan’ now?"

If Ye Qiu is ’Ye Yiyi’, then Ye Fugui is ’Ye Baiwan’. Now everyone in Ye Family Village knows Ye Fugui works with the Father and Son duo, making millions annually.

In their village, his income is considered quite high.

In the past two years, by working with Ye Qiu, he’s possibly earned two million.

Previously, making twenty to thirty thousand a year was considered good.

Satisfied?

Few people are entirely satisfied with their income?

"I’m somewhat satisfied," Ye Fugui replied.

"Somewhat satisfied? That means you’re not satisfied."

Actually, Ye Fugui wanted to buy a house in East Sea, but properties there cost millions; his earnings could only afford a small house, and just pay a down payment.

The mansions like Ye Qiu’s are beyond his dreams.

"Ye Qiu, I’m very satisfied," Ye Fugui quickly said.

He’s worried Ye Qiu might think him greedy, fearing he’d lose the work, which would make earning another million difficult.
