Claire said: “Not really. What I am doing now is a sketch, because there is no need to make a very detailed design plan when bidding. The main purpose is to reflect a general idea.”
“When we wait for the bid, we need to give this design plan and a more detailed decoration budget quotation from the past, but my studio now has relatively few staff. For such a large project, everyone has to move on, so I am responsible for drawing, others focus on integrating suppliers of various materials and actuarial project costs. This amount of engineering is really huge. At least hundreds of suppliers have to be connected to thousands of single products.”
Charlie nodded and said distressedly: “Don’t be too tired. Pay attention to the combination of work and rest.”
Claire smiled and said: “Don’t worry, just these few days, after finishing these few days, package and submit the entire bidding documents, and then wait for the internal review of Emgrand Group. If it passes, I will quickly expand the recruiting team.”
After that, Claire said seriously: “If my project is completed, then you won’t have to work so hard in the future and make money alone to support the family.”
“Our family’s overall expenses are very high now, and the villa property costs are more than 100,000 a year, let alone other things.”
“Most of the profits made by my studio before have been invested in expansion, and I have never been able to subsidize the family and cannot share it for you, so this time I have to strive to win this project and make some contributions to the family!”
Charlie knows Claire’s character very well. She never cared about money, and she didn’t have any requirements for food, clothing, housing, and transportation. The reason why she wants to start a business and make money now is ultimately for her family.
So he said softly from the bottom of his heart: “My wife, thank you!”
Claire said seriously: “I want to thank you. For so long, you have been supporting us at home. My parents and I are depending on you…”
Charlie hurriedly said: “What are you talking about? It is only right for your husband to make money to support the family. For the first three years of marriage, I didn’t make a penny, so I did laundry and cook at home. You never disliked me. I now bear more. That’s nothing.”
Claire smiled and said sincerely, “The most important thing is that we can always understand and tolerate each other like this. It is more meaningful than making money. Just like before, although you didn’t make a penny, you always did housework. You’re well organized and take care of me in all aspects. This is more important than making money.”
