They did not stay outside for long. Before the sky turned dark, Li Dong sent Qin Yuhan home.
The little girl was not as thick-skinned as Li Dong. Moreover, she had just been discovered by her father, so she was a little uneasy.
Li Dong comforted her for a while. Seeing that she was still worried, he could only send her home reluctantly.
Downstairs of the Qin residence.
Li Dong was enjoying the little girl's parting hug when the troublemaker arrived.
"Cough, cough!"
The annoying cough would always ring at the most inappropriate time. Hearing the familiar sound, Qin Yuhan jumped away from Li Dong's embrace like a frightened rabbit.
Li Dong gritted his teeth in hatred. However, when he raised his head, he was already smiling.
Qin Hai looked at the sky 45 degrees as if he was not the troublemaker at all.
Without looking at Li Dong, Qin Hai squeezed out a smile and said to Qin Yuhan, "Why aren't you going home? Your mother is still waiting for you at home."
Qin Yuhan looked at Li Dong, then at Qin Hai. She was a little hesitant.
When Qin Hai saw this, he was so angry that his lungs were about to explode. Was this still his obedient and obedient daughter?
He glanced at Li Dong and cursed in his heart. It was all this little bastard's fault!
However, he said kindly, "You go home first. I'll go up after talking to Li Dong."
Naturally, Li Dong saw Qin Yuhan's actions. He was happy, but he said calmly, "Yuhan, go home first. I'll talk to Uncle."
Only then did Qin Yuhan walk up the stairs, looking back repeatedly. As she walked, she said, "Dad, don't talk so much. It's getting dark, and Li Dong still has to go home."
Qin Hai was jealous. He had not done anything yet, but his daughter was already protecting him. If she really did anything to this little bastard, it would be a big mess.
He snorted twice as a perfunctory response to his daughter.
Only when he saw that his daughter had really left did Qin Hai pull a long face and say, "A student doesn't want to study properly. What's the point of running around all day?"
Li Dong forced a smile and said, "Uncle is right. There won't be a next time."
"What next time? There won't be a next time! "
Qin Hai was so angry that he stomped his feet. He no longer acted like a loving father in front of Qin Yuhan.
He was just short of pointing at Li Dong's nose and scolding him. He was very unhappy with this guy who wanted to snatch his daughter away from him.
Especially when he saw this brat hugging his daughter, Qin Hai felt like killing someone.
Li Dong's face was still full of smiles. Even if Qin Hai's saliva was about to spray onto his face, he didn't care. After all, the person in front of him was his future father-in-law.
He understood Qin Hai's mentality. It was said that daughters were their parents' cotton-padded jacket. If someone were to snatch Li Dong's cotton-padded jacket in the middle of winter, Li Dong would not be happy either.
Moreover, he had only heard of mothers-in-law liking their son-in-law more and more. He had never heard of fathers-in-law liking their son-in-law more and more.
Seeing that Li Dong was calm and composed, Qin Hai also calmed himself down. He could not be outdone by a little brat.
Qin Hai took a deep breath and said earnestly, "Li Dong, it's not that I want to break up a pair of lovebirds. After all, you are still young, and your lives have just started. Now, your responsibility is not love but study. The college entrance examination is coming soon. Are you not going to think about your future? "
"Don't worry, uncle. I understand what you mean. Yuhan and I are both adults. We know what we should do and what we shouldn't do. "Li Dong was very tactful. He did not refute at all.
Qin Hai saw that what he wanted to say was said by Li Dong. He opened his mouth but did not know how to continue.
He was a little disappointed. Yes, his daughter was also an adult. He could not be controlling everything like when she was young, right?
He waved his hand disinterestedly and snorted, "It's good that you understand. Let's go. Are you waiting for me to treat you to a meal?"
Li Dong could not help but laugh. He said goodbye to Qin Hai and turned around to leave.
Looking at Li Dong's back as he left, Qin Hai touched his chin. This brat is really calm.
However, this is not enough to be Qin Hai's son-in-law. I'll see!
…
4th of May, Blue Ocean Commercial Building.
"General Manager Li, we're almost done with the site."
The marketing manager of Yang Ding Decoration wore a safety helmet as he walked out of the mall. He wiped his hands and continued, "We have a lot of experience in decorating a mall of your scale. We definitely won't let you down."
"General Manager Xu, when will the design be done?" Li Dong asked.
Xu Haoran turned around and looked at the staff behind him. He said, "Xiao Liu, talk to General Manager Li."
Xiao Liu was an employee of the design department. He was more professional than Xu Haoran.
When he saw Li Dong looking at him, he said, "General Manager Li, if we follow the previous renovation plan, we can come up with the design tomorrow. However, because you have some requirements, we need to make some changes. However, the changes are not big. It can be done the day after tomorrow at the earliest."
Li Dong nodded. This speed was not slow. Although the supermarket's renovation was simple, he could see that Yang Ding had a lot of experience.
"I'm not in a hurry. Can I ask how much it will cost to renovate according to what I said?"
This was what Li Dong cared about. He did not have a lot of cash now. Even if he had money, he could not spend it recklessly.
If Yang Ding's price was too high, Li Dong did not mind changing to another store.
Xiao Liu glanced at Xu Haoran. Seeing Xu Haoran nodding, he continued, "Before the specific plan is out, I can only estimate based on my previous experience. According to your requirements, including labor and materials, it will be around 1.2 to 1.3 million. I'm not sure if you can accept it."
"That is to say, on average, it will cost about 500 yuan per square meter?"
Li Dong frowned. 500 yuan was not a high price in the future, but it was 2004 now. The average supermarket renovation price of 500 yuan per square meter seemed a little high.
When Xu Haoran saw Li Dong frown, he immediately realized that it was beyond Li Dong's budget.
It was not easy to do business these days. For Yang Ding, a business of more than one million yuan was almost the biggest order of the year.
Otherwise, as the marketing manager, he would not have come to Dongping in person. After all, there were a lot of things waiting for him in Qingyang.
Seeing this, Xu Haoran explained, "General Manager Li, listen to me. Because the materials you asked for are the best, and you are in a hurry to open, the construction period needs to be accelerated. The budget of 1.2 million yuan is not outrageous. However, after all, the specific plan has not been made. When the plan is out, we can talk about the price. What do you think? "
Li Dong thought about it and nodded. In fact, more than one million yuan was not too outrageous. After all, some of his requirements were based on the future. For the present, it was normal for the cost to increase.
"Then, you can finish the design plan as soon as possible. We can talk about it then."
Seeing that it was getting late, Li Dong said, "General Manager Xu, you must be tired after watching for the whole morning. Let's have a meal together. I have already made a reservation at Dongping Hotel."
Xu Haoran did not refuse. How could business be done without eating and drinking? Everything could be discussed after a few glasses of wine at the dining table.
"Then, I will let General Manager Li spend the money. This is our first time in Dongping. General Manager Li should introduce some special dishes to us."
They chatted while walking. Xu Haoran was even more witty, which made Li Dong laugh a few times.
…
After the meal, Xu Haoran and the others left. Li Dong's face was red. He was not completely sober yet.
He was a good drinker. In his previous life, he drank with many clients. However, today was the first time he drank after his rebirth, so he was not used to it.
He leaned on the sofa for a while after returning home. His parents were not at home, so he wanted to look for Qin Yuhan. However, he thought that his future father-in-law would be watching him closely these two days, so he decided not to provoke him.
Just when he was squinting, his phone rang.
Li Dong looked at the number and smiled. He picked up the phone and said softly, "Yuhan, do you miss me?"
"Miss you, my foot!"
Qin Yuhan's happy and angry voice rang in Li Dong's ears.
Li Dong smiled and did not refute. He asked softly, "What's wrong? Father-in-law and mother-in-law aren't at home?"
Qin Yuhan did not have a phone, so she usually called from the landline at home. If her parents were at home, they would definitely not dare to call him.
Li Dong patted his head when he thought about it. How could he forget to buy a phone for Qin Yuhan? It would be more convenient to contact her in the future.
However, Li Dong was a little depressed when he thought that Qin Yuhan would definitely not want it. Sometimes, it was not good for a woman to be too independent.
"Don't talk nonsense. They just went downstairs, and they'll be back soon."
Qin Yuhan lowered her voice a little and said gloomily, "My dad told me yesterday that I can't go out at night before the college entrance examination. I have to study at home."
Li Dong clenched his teeth. His father-in-law really took drastic measures. He KO'd Li Dong with a simple move. He had to admit defeat.
He thought he was at his wit's end yesterday, but he taught him a lesson today. As expected, the older, the wiser.
Hearing Qin Yuhan's disappointed tone, Li Dong comforted her immediately, "It's okay. Go home. The college entrance examination is in a month anyway. I'll accompany you wherever you want to go after the college entrance examination. They won't be able to restrict you by then, right? "
Qin Yuhan thought about it and agreed. A month was not too long. Moreover, she could see Li Dong during the day, so she was not that disappointed.
Thinking that her parents would be back soon, Qin Yuhan dared not say much. They hung up the phone after chatting for a while.
