The next day, Ye Fan had breakfast made by Bai Susu and then left the house.

He found a quiet place and released Zhuge Liang.

The two of them went to the villa together, and, of course, Ye Fan also called the sales manager responsible for the property.

The purpose was to have a look together at what aspects needed improvement. Of course, these matters could be handed over to the sales manager; after all, they have professionals, which makes renovations much more convenient.

Sir, please have a look and see where improvements are needed. I will make a note of it, and then we can have our staff get to work on it,” Li Jian, dressed in a suit, said with a notebook and pen in hand, ready to jot down any issues.

The company had made it clear; this was a VIP customer, and he needed to be served well.

Moreover, the company was not skimping on the refurbishment costs; they were taking care of it all.

Therefore, Li Jian was extremely attentive and cautious, fearing he might offend this important client.

Hmm, we have a baby and a pregnant woman at home, so we need to make some changes in certain areas. Of course, the small parts, the larger areas don’t need as much. Let’s walk and see,” Ye Fan said.

Yes, the wife and children, they are the most important.

Ye Fan walked ahead, with the manager just diagonally in front of him, introducing features while observing the surroundings.

Zhuge Liang was dressed in plain black casual clothes, following slightly behind Ye Fan.

When he first appeared, he was already in modern attire, looking like a middle-aged man with an upright and forthright demeanor.

However, he was holding a modern folding fan with the words “Divine Strategies and Marvelous Calculations” written on it. Ye Fan was a bit taken aback when he first saw it.

But, it did seem quite fitting for Zhuge Liang.

“Master, this pool here needs modification. There are no safety measures around it; it should be fenced to prevent the young masters from playing here when they get bigger,” Zhuge Liang said calmly, gently waving his fan.

Ye Fan indeed agreed.

“Indeed, Mr. Li, please take note of that,” Ye Fan said.

He had thought of this as well.

Once the child grows older and starts to run, he would definitely want to play by the pool, and since the water is over a meter deep, it is indeed dangerous. Fencing around the area should resolve the issue.

Ye Fan hadn’t expected that Zhuge Liang would adapt so quickly to modern society.

Ye Fan had been worried before that if they couldn’t adapt, he would have to teach them. But now it seemed he had been overly concerned.

This was a good sign.

The System was truly formidable indeed!

Yes, sir,” Li Jian promptly noted it down in his notebook.

Of course, he also wholly agreed with what the gentleman accompanying Ye Fan had suggested.

“And here, the flooring should all be anti-slip. It would be good to plant some lawn here, and there, build a flower bed here and set up a swing set,” he continued.

“Over here, plant some peach trees on the left side of the villa, and there, plant some willows—preferably those over fifty years old, a hundred years old would be best. The river here is quite deep; lessen its depth by half.”

“Right, replace all the flooring inside the villa with anti-slip ones, reinforce the stair railings, raise the balcony railings a bit higher. The windows are quite high, and it’s good for the children. Carpet all three floors, and as for these table corners and other sharp edges that can easily cause injuries, cover them all up.”

Zhuge Liang inspected the surroundings and pointed out the flaws one by one.

Li Jian beside him kept busy taking notes, and Ye Fan actually felt a bit superfluous.

Right, and plant bamboo around the villa’s perimeter. That would make it look even more beautiful,” Zhuge Liang finally said with a satisfied nod.

This should be about it.

Ye Fan was somewhat impressed by Zhuge Liang; he truly was remarkable.

Alright, then. For all matters, just speak with my assistant,” Ye Fan said to Li Jian.

This matter was now under Zhuge Liang’s responsibility.

Anyway, as the renovation went on and Zhuge Liang supervised, if anything was incorrect or substandard, Zhuge would spot it and have it redone.

“Mr. Ye, actually, our company has said that if the modifications are minor, the company will cover the costs. But yours have exceeded that scope, so we can only charge for the repairs,” Li Jian said respectfully to Ye Fan at this point.

Yes, all those bamboo, peach trees, willow trees, flowerbeds, whatever, and that creek that needed to be filled in halfway, as well as floors and carpets these all add up to moderate renovations.

And they weren’t cheap.

“No problem, I’ll pay out of my own pocket. If there’s anything, just discuss it with my assistant Zhuge Liang; he’ll be responsible for these matters,” Ye Fan replied.

He understood that this no longer counted as minor changes, and paying for them himself was only reasonable.

He still had over three million left, and besides, he was now the president of Chang’an Enterprise; the amount of money entering his account each month was uncountable.

Thinking about it felt like a dream.

Before, he was penniless, but now, his net worth was not just tens of billions but hundreds of billions.

He truly didn’t dare to imagine it.

Now, truly lacking nothing, he had even more reason to take good care of his children and wife.

He wanted to give his children the best in the world.

Of course, the same went for his wife.

It looked like he could soon bring his parents into the city to live.

“Alright then, we’ll leave it to Mr. Zhuge,” Li Jian nodded and glanced at this middle-aged man. Zhuge Liang was a somewhat strange name, but who didn’t have a stage name? Maybe he was an admirer of the Three Kingdoms hero and thus had chosen it for himself.

However, this middle-aged man seemed quite proper.

Without giving it much thought, after finishing up everything, Li Jian left.

He needed to report all this to his company so they could handle the repairs.

Of course, he was aware Mr. Ye was eager to move in, so the process needed to be expedited.

Late, upon Li Jian’s departure, Ye Fan retrieved the business vehicle that the

System had awarded him and handed the keys to Zhuge Liang.

He would drive the car.

“This is a cellphone. Study the manual, and, Zhuge, wait here to supervise the work. Make them quicken the pace. Money is not a problem. Find a room on the first floor to live in,” Ye Fan instructed.

Afterward, he had Bai Qi summoned, along with ten bodyguards and two maids, asking them to get familiar with the surroundings and possibly lend a helping hand to finish sooner.

Of course, Ye Fan instructed them to follow Zhuge Liang’s directions.

As for the bodyguards, they should listen to Bai Qi.

He also gave Zhuge Liang a bank card to purchase some daily necessities for everyone.

After arranging all this, Ye Fan finally left.

With Zhuge, an exceptionally intelligent prime minister of unparalleled wisdom, Ye Fan really wasn’t worried at all..
