Chapter 101: Meng Yunzheng and Zhang Shu??
Craftsman Zheng adjusted the door panel and said, "That's no problem."
"And this left wall, I wonder if we can install some large windows to let more light in," Shu Yu asked.
Craftsman Zheng carefully examined it and marked out an area, saying, "We can remove this section and install windows here."
"Perfect," Shu Yu replied.
She then took Craftsman Zheng to see the door connecting to the backyard and said, "This needs to be removed to widen the passage. It will connect nicely to the room in the backyard, which I want to use as a fitting room."
Afterward, she planned to separate the fitting room from one of the rooms in the backyard and the kitchen so that the living and working areas could be separated.
This way, there would only be one room for living.
But there was no other choice since the original shop was a bit small.
Therefore, she planned to have a bunk bed in that room, with a wider bottom to accommodate two people and a narrower top for one person. It would be cramped to fit three people in one room, but the current conditions were limited.
Once she earned enough money, she could buy a house in the county town.
Shu Yu tried to make the most of the available resources, and thus she also wanted to allocate a storage room for storing goods.
In the end, the backyard was filled with her arrangements. Craftsman Zheng, being a professional, provided a few suggestions to make the layout more suitable and aesthetically pleasing.
Now Shu Yu truly believed in her father's words. This Craftsman Zheng was indeed meticulous and skilled.
"That's settled then," Craftsman Zheng said. "I'll go to the market later and pick out some things. There are still some items that need careful selection."
Shu Yu nodded and said, "I'll go with you. If the items are good, I'll make the purchase directly."
This time, Da Niu didn't mention going himself. He didn't want to get involved in the matter of paying money.
Shu Yu followed Craftsman Zheng to the bustling market, where he had his own connections and selected materials of average quality. Since this was just a rented shop, it was sufficient.
Shu Yu had some understanding of these materials and could tell that Craftsman Zheng wasn't trying to deceive her. Even if he did, it didn't matter. She might not understand, but her father was a carpenter, and a quick look would tell if the materials were good or not. Craftsman Zheng had no reason to cheat her in this regard.
Midway, the two of them stopped at a small stall to have a bowl of noodles before continuing their tour. By the time they finished the round, it was already late.
Craftsman Zheng needed to go home and prepare his tools. He also needed to call two young workers to help. After all, Shu Yu had given him limited time, and he needed assistance.
So Shu Yu parted ways with Craftsman Zheng at the intersection of Dongmen Street.
With one task completed, Shu Yu breathed a sigh of relief and walked with a lighter step.
However, just as she was about to turn onto Ningshui Street, she suddenly saw two familiar figures ahead.
Shu Yu's footsteps halted, and her gaze fell upon the man who was facing her.
Zhang Shu... What is he doing here?
And the person standing opposite him, isn't that Meng Yunzheng, the young master she had just seen a few days ago?
How could these two unrelated people know each other?
Shu Yu furrowed her brows slightly. In the next moment, she saw Zhang Shu smiling at Meng Yunzheng and bypassing him to leave.
Meng Yunzheng remained standing in place, but his indifferent eyes quickly turned toward Shu Yu. Their gazes abruptly met.
Shu Yu couldn't walk away in time, even though they had agreed to treat their previous encounter as if it never happened.
But now, after seeing her, Meng Yunzheng had yet to avert his gaze. Shu Yu hesitated for a moment before deciding to move forward and stand in front of him. She smiled and asked, "Do you know Zhang Shu?"
