The spacious apartment was a complete mess, with cement bags, light steel keels and other materials scattered all over the floor.
All the non-load-bearing walls had already been knocked down, and the three originally separate units on this floor had been fully opened up.
Standing at the entrance and looking in, the space felt shockingly open; you could almost not see the end of it at a glance.
A few workers were standing on step ladders, craning their necks as they fixed the central air-conditioning ducts at the top.
Harsh metal-cutting noises mixed with the sparks of welding; the air was thick with a burnt, scorched smell.
The project manager from the renovation company was wearing a hard hat, holding the construction plans as he checked details with the foreman.
When he turned his head and saw Fang Cheng walk in, his eyes instantly lit up. He tucked the drawings under his arm and jogged over.
"Boss, you had time today to come inspect the work, huh?"
