Chapter 156 Finalizing the Solution

Sonoko casually offered a suggestion: "If you don't want to disturb Rena and Sally, why not just start digging from the bottom of the mountain? When you're almost at the top, put the exit at your sister's villa, and then put a layer of soundproofing in the basement."

Yes.

Just start digging from below. It might take a little longer, but it's not something that can be done in a short time anyway.

Tomoko Suzuki shook her head and laughed, "No way, digging a mountain will definitely require explosives. You don't think it's something that can be done by hand, do you? This is a mountain, not soil. Even if you dig for a hundred years, you might not be able to dig up the villa on the mountaintop."

"This won't work, that won't work, so what should I do?" Sonoko sat down in distress.

Ayako put her arm around her and patted her to comfort her.

"How about using an excavator? We don't need to dig all the way to the villa on the mountaintop. We can just dig up to the middle of the mountain so we won't disturb Rena and Sally's rest," Suzuki Tomoko suggested.

"And then?" Su Xingbo asked, frowning.

"Don't do 'then' yet. Start excavating the mountain from the right. When you reach the halfway point, you can take a special passage down the mountain. As for where to put the exit, that's up to you," Suzuki Tomoko said with a light laugh.

What? He hates people who keep things a secret, especially riddle-makers. Of course, on the other hand, he could definitely be that kind of person himself.

Su Xingbo shook his head helplessly, "Pengzi-sama, you might as well just say it directly, otherwise I might have to repeat myself later, and don't blame me for not giving you face then." He then looked at her with a mischievous grin.

He has plenty of ways to deal with her. After all, Ayako and Sonoko are here too. If that happens, she, Suzuki Tomoko, will lose all her dignity and face.

Suzuki Tomoko paused for a moment upon hearing this, not quite reacting yet, before snapping back to reality amidst Sonoko's cheers, and couldn't help but glare at Su Xingbai.

She scoffed irritably, "You don't think you can threaten me like this, do you? Do you really think I've wasted my 40-plus years of life experience?"

it is good!

This is what you said!

In front of Sonoko and Ayako, amidst their expectant gazes, Su Xingbai pulled her onto his lap, positioning her directly in front of him.

Whether you understand this action or not, you'll understand (ask).

It is absolutely not about sitting together or leaning on each other.

Just as Su Xingbo was about to take further action, Suzuki Tomoko reached out and stopped his despicable behavior!

"Tame, I'll talk, I'll talk!!!"

"Little brat, I'll pick you and Ayako tonight. Wait for me on the third floor of my villa (which is all clean and tidy)."

Suzuki Tomoko had been through a lot, and with decades of abstinence, she squinted at him, then wrapped her arms around his neck and gently blew a breath.

"Young man, are you sure you can handle this?"

It's truly a fierce tiger, and the king of tigers at that.

Abbreviation: ( ___) three characters.

Su Xingbai's face paled slightly. He touched his kidneys, then coughed lightly and said, "Alright, hurry up and tell me what your plan is."

Suzuki Tomoko straightened her clothes slightly and slowly said, "We'll start digging from the entrance below, digging to the halfway point. If we encounter areas that the excavator can't handle, we'll still have to use explosives, but we'll try to use as few as possible. The closer we get to the halfway point, the less explosives we'll need, even if it slows down the project a little." Su Xingbai nodded in agreement.

"Afterwards, we'll build a transfer platform where we can install elevators or cable cars to connect the upper and lower levels. This will avoid the noise pollution from deep excavation and provide a convenient and quick way to reach the mountaintop villa. Although we can't go directly to the mountaintop villa, the location halfway up the mountain will save a lot of time. As for the location of this halfway point, we can decide based on the noise level later." Everyone nodded in agreement.

This method is indeed good. No wonder you've been eating salt for over forty years; your experience is truly abundant. We should eat more oysters tonight and treat her well.

Just then, Akemi, who had been silent all along, walked in with Ai in her hand. Seeing everyone sitting together discussing something, she asked curiously, "What interesting thing are you all talking about?"

Sonoko told her the plan with a smile.

Akemi's eyes lit up, and she clapped her hands in praise, "That's a fantastic idea! Running down the mountain to see Shiho at the hospital this time really exhausted Ayako and me. We've never been this tired even when we go up the mountain. But we must be careful during construction." Hearing this, Ai squeezed her sister's hand even tighter. It was all because of her carelessness that her sister had to work so hard.

Su Xingbo stood up and said confidently, "Don't worry, leave this to me, I'll handle it perfectly."

Tomoko Suzuki stood up, went to the wine cabinet, opened a bottle of red wine, and poured herself a glass.

He then gently swirled the red wine in his glass, took a sip, and returned to the sofa with the glass, only to find Su Xingbo still smugly bragging to the women.

She shook her head and interrupted, saying, "Don't be too happy. This is no small project. The money required is secondary. The most important thing is to find a reliable construction team."

Su Xingbai knew what it meant when he heard this, and quickly ran behind her to gently massage her shoulders.

"Of course, this kind of thing should definitely be handled by the eldest sister, right? The eldest sister is worth two people!" Su Xingbo flattered with a smile.

Tomoko Suzuki nodded and smiled, "Yes, that's a good amount of force."

"agreed?"

"Agree to what?"

"Finding a construction team is something I absolutely have to do!" Su Xingbai said anxiously, as this was something that no one else could do.

"Ayako, call this number later and contact this person. Tell him you were introduced by Mrs. Suzuki Tomoko, and also explain your identity. That should be enough." Suzuki Tomoko opened her phone, found the person's contact information, and handed it to Ayako.

Ayako sat down and took the phone. It only showed a phone number and a surname. Su Xingbai also leaned over to look at it. How did she remember something so simple? Purely by memory?

"Is this person reliable? I've never heard you mention him before, Mom," Ayako asked with some concern.

"Don't worry, while his skills may not be the absolute best in the industry, they are certainly among the top. He has participated in many large-scale construction projects in China. Of course, most importantly, this is my company, and I mean what I say!" Tomoko Suzuki said, taking a sip of red wine.
