Chapter 184: Preparing for Renovation_1
“I don’t know about that, just what everyone is saying.”
Judy Lampe laughed, “Who cares who it is, as long as we don’t clash with them.”
“That’s true.”
Cindy Harrison, apparently lost in thought for a moment, relaxed her expression and casually asked, “What’s the situation with Dreamscape Garden?”
Judy Lampe’s expression changed slightly, “I was just about to tell you about that. God knows where that idiot found a renovation company, but they’ve started transporting sand and gravel a few days ago.”
At this, Cindy Harrison’s brows immediately furrowed, “Who’s got the guts to take on the project at Dreamscape Garden?”
“Must be a company from out of town.”
Seeing her niece’s expression grow stern, Judy Lampe hastily said, “Cindy, if you ask me, we shouldn’t worry. Even if they start the work, what can they do? A few accidents and they’ll have to stop. That place is jinxed; nothing’s ever going to come of it.”
Cindy Harrison nodded expressionlessly and asked, “Hmm, how’s the branch coming along?”
Judy Lampe replied, “We’ve found a place, right across from Dreamscape Garden. But they’re only renting, not selling, and the rent isn’t cheap.”
Cindy Harrison smiled and, looking up at her aunt, confidently said, “With the sign of Harrison’s Private Kitchen up there, we don’t need to worry about the rent being high. It won’t take long to make it back.”
“Haha, that’s the spirit!”
…
The news of Wallace Carter backing down continued to ferment, with the rumors growing wilder.
Some even said that the assailant was a wealthy heir from the provincial city, someone who could crush Wallace Carter with a flick of his finger.
The rumors grew more absurd with time, and even the common folk of Jamae City caught wind of the story.
Yet, the Carter Family, as if rendered mute, made no comment on the incident. Even when questioned, they merely laughed it off, letting slip no details.
Thus, the speculation became even more outlandish.
Greg Jensen had heard the rumors too, but he didn’t take them seriously. What others said was none of his business.
At that moment, he drove to Wright’s Clubhouse.
The renovation company’s plans were ready, and they were meeting there today.
“Boss, the folks from the renovation company haven’t arrived yet.”
“Alright, you wait here for a bit; I’m going in,” Greg Jensen told Kingsley Harrison before walking into the clubhouse alone.
“Hello, Mr. Jensen, Mr. Wright and the others are waiting for you in the tea room.”
“Alright, sounds good.”
As Greg Jensen entered the tea room, he saw Spencer Burley sitting there with a gloomy face, beside him sat Jaden Ford.
“Big Brother Greg is here.”
Jaden Ford, all smiles, stood up to greet Greg Jensen.
Greg Jensen laughed, “Have you tried the remedy I gave you?”
“Ah, not yet.”
Jaden Ford glanced at Spencer Burley next to him and once again his face lit up with a smile.
Adrian Wright, chuckling, said, “Greg’s medical skills are unquestionable. You just take the prescription he gave you without worries; it’s sure to work.”
After speaking, he glanced at Spencer Burley and flashed a sly smile, continuing, “You both aren’t getting any younger. Get in good health soon and tie the knot. Then all of us elders can rest easy.”
“Adrian Wright, are you asking for trouble?”
Spencer Burley turned beet red with anger and turned to Greg Jensen, pleading, “Brother Greg, it’s about time you showed up.
Adrian Wright, this bastard, is getting more and more annoying. Please give him a piece of your mind!”
Greg Jensen touched his nose, seriously said, “I think Adrian has a point.”
“You guys…”
Spencer Burley clutched his chest, pretending to have a heart attack, and pointed at the two men, “Choosing friends unwisely…”
“Hahaha.”
Laughter once again filled the tea room.
Jaden Ford poured a cup of tea for Greg Jensen while laughing, “Big brother Greg, have some tea.”
“Mm, thank you, junior sister,” Greg chuckled.
Jaden’s face turned red, as she whispered, “No need to thank me.”
With that, she turned her head to look at Spencer Burley beside her.
Spencer’s face was as dark as the bottom of a pot.
Greg chuckled again and casually asked, “Why didn’t Amande come?”
“My sister’s best friend just got back from abroad, and they’re at home chatting.”
“Oh.”
Just then, a knocking sound came from the door, and Kingsley Harrison walked in with a middle-aged man, followed by the secretaries of both men.
“Miss.”
After entering, the middle-aged man first nodded to Jaden Ford, then smiled and said, “Let me introduce myself, I am Damon Milton, the manager of Thunder Decoration Company.”
“Haha, Manager Milton, it’s a pleasure to meet you!”
Greg greeted with a laugh, reaching out and shaking hands with Damon Milton, then said, “My name is Greg Jensen, the owner of Dreamscape Garden, please sit…”
After everyone sat down and exchanged pleasantries for a bit, Damon Milton brought out the fully designed blueprints and spread them on the table.
Greg glanced at them and was instantly stunned.
He had previously thought of digging open the hidden channels in Dreamscape Garden. Not only would it break the White Tiger Convergence formation, but it could also transform it into the Water Moon Array.
The design in his hands added many smaller wealth-attracting formations on top of his original concept.
Although their effects were not as strong as Greg’s Water Moon Array, they could still serve a supporting role.
Damon Milton looked at Greg, hesitated for a moment, and asked, “Mr. Jensen, may I ask you something?”
“Please go ahead, Manager Milton.”
“Do you also understand Feng Shui, Mr. Jensen?”
Greg laughed heartily and replied, “I have a little knowledge, you flatter me with your words.”
Upon hearing this, Damon felt somewhat embarrassed, glanced at Jaden Ford and said, “Mr. Jensen, if you say so, then you’re really slapping my face.
Truth be told, although I can tell that the terrain you designed is meant for attracting wealth, I have never seen it in any literature, nor do I understand the principle behind it.”
If you had seen it, that really would’ve been something.
Greg smiled and did not keep it to himself, he explained the basic principles of the Water Moon Array to him.
At first, Damon listened with the intention of casual conversation, but as they proceeded, his expression grew increasingly solemn.
By the end, he stood up and respectfully bowed to Greg.
Greg was startled and quickly said, “Manager Milton, what are you doing?”
“Mr. Jensen, there is a saying, ‘The master appears when the disciple is ready,’ and since you patiently taught me this formation, it’s only right that I bow to you.”
“Haha, you’re too polite. Jaden and I are friends, so we’re just chatting among friends.
If you can use this knowledge, great; if not, just take it as something enjoyable to listen to.”
“You’re being modest…”
Damon politely exchanged a few more words, then started discussing the details of the design with Greg. After a while, they finalized the last version of the design.
Greg asked with a smile, “Manager Milton, when can your team start the construction?”
Damon replied, “All the materials have been delivered, and after I adjust the blueprints tonight, we can start construction the day after tomorrow at the latest.”
“Haha, then I’ll have to trouble you, Manager Milton.”
“You don’t need to be so formal with me. You’re the young lady’s friend, and besides, we’re earning money from this too.”
