Chapter 2292


    Sophie hurriedly said, "It''s okay. You just have to help me ask him." 2


    After that. she asked, "By the way, Grandpa. do I have t 0 make a trip to the United States if he is willing to help me?"


    "No need.” Jefferson said, "Old Master Lennard has divine power and abilities. If he agrees to help you, it should be sufficient for me to let him know


    your birth date and time of birth before I tell him briefly about the matter that you want to ask him about."


    Sophie said in amazement, "Is he truly that incredible?"


    Jeffersonughed and said, "Fortune-telling and divination is supreme wisdom that the ancestors have granted to us. Only a fraction of the modern


    people nowadays can actually understand this kind of divine and magical abilities." 3


    After that. Jefferson said, "It is already midnight in the United States now. So, it will not be good for me ta contact Old Master Lennard at this time.


    You should just wait patiently first. I will give him a phone call when it is evening here, as it will be morning over there, then.”


    Sophie hurriedly replied, “I am counting on you, Grandpa!”


    At this moment, Charlie had already rushed home to prepare lunch.


    Although ine had broken her leg, she stood with the help of her crutches as she assisted Charlie in the kitchen.


    As Charlie was busy preparing lunch, ine felt a little ashamed as she said, "My good son-inw, I should be the one cooking for you, but it is


    inconvenient for me to do so because of my broken leg. In the end, you have to step up and cook instead. I really feel very bad and guilty!"


    Charlie smiled slightly before he said, "Mom, you don''t have to be so polite with me. Anyway, I don''t have anything much to do. So, itis only right for


    me to do some housework too." 4


    After that, Charlie said to ine, "Mom, ire and Dad should be reaching home secon. I will go and cook another tomato and egg soup. We can start


    eating as soon as theye home, then."


    ine hurriedly said, "Thank you for your hard work, my good son-inw. I will help you to wash the tomatoes, then!”


    After Charlie had served the dishes, his wife, ire, and his father-inw, Jacob, also drove home, one


    after the other. 2


    When ire came home, she told Charlie excitedly," Husband, the vice-chairman of Emgrand Group called me today. She said that there is about to


    be an open tender for the design and refurbishing job for the six-star hotel under Emgrand Group that is currently under construction!”


    "Is that so?" Charlie asked as he pretended to be surprised. "This should be a very big project. right?”


    ire replied excitedly, "It is not just


    very big, It is simply too big! The


    project for Emagrand Group''s six-star


    hotel wasunchedst year with an


    investmént 0 f two billion dors.

    As she spoke, ire continued, "The entire hotel had a budget of two billion dors. Half of this amount was used to buy thend and infrastructure.N?velDrama.Org ? content.


    The other half of the budget would almost entirely be used for the renovation and refurbishment, including at least three hundred million dors for the

    Besides that, about six to seven

    as they are all


    preparing to participate in the subsequent bid and tender!" 4


    Charlie smiled and asked, “Then how much budget did Emgrand Group allocate for the decoration and interior design, then?"


    ire replied, “The quotation for this kind ofmercial decoration and design generally costs about three hundred dors per square meter.


    Emgrand Group''s six-star hotel has


    a total busineds area of 130,000


    square metets. f we were to remove

    square meters. Therefore, the


    décoration and interior design fees


    would already amount to at least

    When ine, who was aside, heard this, she was surprised and said, “Oh my! ire! Are you kidding m e? You can get twenty to thirty million dors


    worth o f fees just by engaging in decoration and interior designing?!"


    ire nodded and said seriously, "I am not joking


    This is considered a very low-price estimation. If itis done by arge designpany or a well-known interior designer, the price will be even higher!


    The design cost for each square meter would cost at least eight hundred to one thousand dors!" 6
