"Uncle, many people are still asking when we will sell the houses. If we don't start soon, we won't be able to hold on," the young man Zhang Quanyong complained to his uncle.
Others chimed in, "Yeah, we can't do anything because we're being pestered. Some people sit here from morning till night without getting any answers."
It's really... having too much business can be quite a pain, can't it?
If the neighboring stores, which are struggling to stay afloat, knew what they were thinking, they would probably want to punch them out of frustration.
Their business is nearly collapsing, and yet they dare to complain about being so busy?
Of course, the reason so many people are acting this way is because of Liu Qingxi's Six-Story Restaurant and Flowing Villa, which have shattered traditional perceptions and become hot commodities.
At this point, everything she had done before was brought to light, including how the Earthen House stood firm after the earthquake, how she helped the disaster-stricken areas through tough times, and how she served with a holy mandate.
There were also a series of achievements afterward, along with her identity as Master Architect Elder Ying's disciple—each one a bargaining chip for her increasing value.
As a result, any property she handled became a fiercely contested asset.
Moreover, aside from those who paid deposits at the same time as Boss to build houses, she began to limit the availability of such properties; they became scarcer, especially those she personally designed.
For other ordinary houses, construction continued as usual.
Scarcity increases value; this principle holds true in any era. Just like with limited purchases—when fewer houses are built, people desire them even more and want to get their hands on them.
Thus, people began to seek various connections to request Liu Qingxi's assistance. However, up until now, there has been no exception.
Of course, there are other designers at Ten Li Pu, but none can compare to Liu Qingxi, which is why people line up in an endless queue.
After the New Year, rumors began to spread that Liu Qingxi was building houses at Ten Li Pu, with rows of independent courtyards and towering buildings filled with exotic charm, becoming objects of competition.
There’s no way around it; not being able to obtain Liu Qingxi's unique designs, even being able to buy such a house is quite good. It would certainly elevate one’s status when going out.
Whether it’s for business partnerships, seeking refuge from the summer heat, or enjoying the spring-like warmth in winter, these are the unique features of the houses handled by Liu Qingxi.
This time, according to sources, regardless of how cold winter gets, those living in the newly built houses at Ten Li Pu will not feel the chill.
If the houses were merely warm in winter and cool in summer, they might still believe it, but this spring-like warmth is indeed too astonishing.
Yet Liu Qingxi is like an enigma that continually opens people's eyes. Since this news has emerged, it must be true.
It’s hard to say when it started, but they no longer doubt Liu Qingxi's claims about the houses she can build. If she can construct a six-story building and even water-based structures, what else is impossible?
As for how everyone got this information, that’s something to ask Liu Qingxi.
The heating device for winter was actually conceived two years ago in a moment of inspiration. Having lived in environments with air conditioning in summer and heating in winter all her life, she found it quite uncomfortable after spending some time here.
Especially during summer when sitting indoors made her sweat profusely and winter was difficult to endure; her body would become icy cold in winter, making it hard to sleep.
To solve this problem, she had to use a lot of brainpower. After all, in modern buildings, plumbing and such are very convenient with specialized personnel and machinery.
But here it was different; both hardware and software were lacking, making it too difficult to rely solely on manual labor.
After that, she studied day and night, drawing and discarding, then drawing again.
After all, her previous life was more related to architecture and structure, and she had some knowledge about Heating, though not proficient. Now, relying on her past experience, she could only explore a little and deduce in her mind.
In the span of a month, she didn't know how many brain cells she exhausted to create a relatively complete blueprint.
This time, she seized the opportunity to promote Heating, aiming to make it a new heating method that every household would need and be able to afford in the future.
As for Zhang Wuliang, he didn't expect to be surrounded by young people as soon as he arrived.
With his arms parallel to his shoulders, he slowly waved his hands up and down: "Everyone, don't worry. I'm here for this matter; our houses are starting pre-sales. I will explain the rules I set out one by one."
"Great!" The young people rubbed their fists in excitement, barely able to contain themselves.
Fortunately, Zhang Wuliang came over to issue new orders; otherwise, the increasing number of guests would have made them feel overwhelmed.
"Uncle Zhang, what exactly should we do? Should we hand out flyers on the street?" After all, if they wanted everyone to know, it was better to notify them.
Zhang Wuliang shook his head: "Just find a few random people on the street to hand these out. You are responsible for introducing the house types and entertaining the guests."
This was the most common and effective method. During this time, Zhang Wuliang even sent two people with flyers to Linyi County and even further away.
While he was explaining the promotional rules amidst the commotion with the young people, Liu Qingxi was already sitting in Ji Zhong's home enjoying tea.
"Since Miss Liu insists on discussing matters at home, there must be something important. Please feel free to speak."
Liu Qingxi stated directly, "I want to invite Boss Ji to work with me."
A mouthful of tea was sprayed out, and Liu Qingxi managed to dodge just in time; otherwise, it would have splattered all over her face. Just thinking about that sensation was quite unpleasant.
As for Ji Zhong, his mind was in turmoil. Work together? Was she joking?
The gap between him and Liu Qingxi was not small at all. How could such a casual invitation come from her lips?
"No, no, Miss Liu, why would you choose someone like me?" He had no choice; the disparity between them was too great, and Liu Qingxi stood at a height he could only look up to.
"Boss Ji, please don't belittle yourself. I know your capabilities well. Coming here to be a manager would be a piece of cake for you. Honestly, selling cattle for a lifetime is truly beneath your talent."
With Liu Qingxi saying this, Ji Zhong's thoughts began to stir.
He wasn't lacking ambition; he just hadn't encountered the right opportunity. In his younger days, he had also been educated, though he wasn't cut out for the Imperial Examination, so he returned to take over the family business.
The idea proposed by Liu Qingxi made his heart race, but it wasn't to the point where he lost control; his mind remained clear.
" Miss Liu, I don't think I have such abilities. Selling cattle is fine for me, but if I were to go to your place, I would definitely be a burden."
Liu Qingxi slowly shook her head, a slight smile playing on her lips, carrying an air of mystery. "Boss Ji, don't underestimate yourself. Selling cattle and selling houses are fundamentally the same."
