Chapter 748: Chapter 268: Song Yuwei Meeting the Two Elders of the Su Family (2)
A little less nouveau riche vulgarity and a little more taste and substance.
Song Yuwei admired him very much, and gradually began to yearn for and pursue this kind of understated luxury. So when Su Zelin suggested this light luxury style, she suddenly felt it suited her more than the European style.
Song MM quickly made a decision: "Okay, boss, let’s renovate according to your style then!"
Su Zelin wasn’t surprised, because even before rebirth, Song Yuwei favored light luxury style, and she was sure to embrace his suggestion.
He immediately looked for a renovation company, drew up the plans according to requirements, and personally reviewed them. If he wasn’t satisfied, he made changes. Although it wasn’t a particularly valuable house, it was, after all, his first woman’s first house in this lifetime, so he had to put in some effort and strive for perfection.
Half a month later, the renovation company started work.
Su Zelin paid an extra 20% on top of the quoted price, asking the renovation company to find the best craftsmen and complete the work to the highest standards.
Having money makes things easier. Encountering a generous client, the renovation company was also happy and immediately agreed. They didn’t dare to slack off, having realized from previous interactions with Su Zelin that this young man not only had great taste but also knew the ins and outs of renovation. He wasn’t just a rich fool, so there was no fooling him.
The construction timeline wasn’t too demanding, just within three months. Good work takes time, and rushing would compromise quality.
For a small three-bedroom apartment of ninety square meters, this time was quite ample.
The day after construction began, Su Zelin received a call from home.
"Son, your dad and I are planning to visit Lin’an in the next few days."
"Mom, why are you coming to Lin’an?"
Su Zelin was a bit puzzled.
"Can’t we come to see you?"
Zhao Lixia said unhappily from the other end of the line: "Son, you’re about to graduate, and we haven’t even visited your school. We have to take a look. What does your university look like?"
"It’s just a small second-tier college, nothing special to see."
Su Zelin replied dismissively.
"It’s not just about taking a look around your school. We also plan to visit the company headquarters as investors. We are, after all, New Era franchise store investors, and according to the franchise agreement, we have the right to do so."
Su Jianjun added.
It was both a personal and business visit, so he had nothing to say.
"Alright then, when are you coming?"
"Tomorrow. Tomorrow’s the weekend, so Panpan will be free as well. You can ask her to join us for a meal."
Zhao Lixia instructed.
Though Su Zelin was now with Qin Shiqing, the Empress Dowager was still concerned about Huang Panpan, always feeling that this girl was quite pitiful.
"Alright, see you tomorrow then!"
"..."
After hanging up the phone, he was a bit puzzled.
He always felt that his parents visiting Lin’an wasn’t just to see him.
They hadn’t planned to visit in the past three and a half years, and now suddenly they wanted to come.
Maybe, I’m overthinking it.
He turned to find Song Yuwei: "Yuwei, my parents are coming to Lin’an tomorrow, and they will probably visit the headquarters."
"Your parents are coming to the headquarters?"
Song Yuwei was suddenly a little flustered.
If she were the legitimate girlfriend, she wouldn’t have to worry about meeting the parents, but now she inexplicably felt guilty.
"Boss, should I avoid them?"
She asked instinctively.
"Avoid what!"
Su Zelin laughed: "They’re just visiting the headquarters as franchise store investors, nothing more. Besides, as my assistant, you’ll have to serve tea and greet them."
"Oh, alright then..."
Song Yuwei nodded reluctantly.
She felt both anxious and curious.
To have nurtured someone like the boss, she wondered what his parents would be like.
The next morning.
At the financial college campus, in the girls’ dormitory.
Huang Panpan was very excited.
She had heard the news from him yesterday that Su Jianjun and Zhao Lixia were coming to Lin’an and had invited her to join them for a meal.
The junior student had met the Su family elders many times, but it was always her visiting their home.
This was the first time they had reached out to her.
If uncle and auntie specially invited me for a meal, they must not see me as an outsider.
Perseverance paid off, and she’d taken a significant step toward becoming the Su family’s daughter-in-law!
She even bought a new outfit yesterday and spent a long time in front of the mirror getting ready.
"Panpan, come on, you already look great. Even if you’re going on a date with Senior Su, you don’t need to do this every time!"
The comment came from Lv Xiaoshuang, her roommate, who understood her well.
Every time Huang Panpan was concerned about her appearance, it was definitely related to Su Zelin.
Her roommate did feel sorry for her. When they first entered college, she claimed Su Zelin was her future boyfriend. Two and a half years later, there wasn’t even a hint of progress.
Huang Panpan chuckled: "Hehe, Xiaoshuang, this time it’s not just a simple date with the senior. I have to meet two very important people!"
"Oh, who are they?"
Lv Xiaoshuang asked curiously.
"The senior’s parents, who are my future parents-in-law. They’re coming to Lin’an and invited me to eat with them. Isn’t it obvious? They’ve already accepted me as the Su family’s future daughter-in-law!"
Huang Panpan was a bit smug.
Lv Xiaoshuang: "..."
Her roommate had a tendency to assume things, especially regarding her relationship with Su Zelin. She was used to it.
Maybe because you’ve been at the Su house so often during holidays, they just see you as a friend of the senior, out of politeness.
