"Hehe, kid, it looks like you have pets."

"Hm... we have a black Labrador and a tortoiseshell cal" said Eric. "And those two are a handful, especially when they team up with my grandkids."

"Haha, I can imagine! I'll definitely buy your design and dea, kid."

"And additionally, using the space left outside, we'll create a beautiful garden for all the residents to gather if they wish, with an elegant and low-maintenance design," Jayden added, showing the latest blueprints he had designed for the exterior. Eric felt immense pride listening to his son talk about his great idea, which confirmed he'd made the right choice in giving the company to him. You could see the passion Jayden had for designing and discussing his ideas.

Henry fully approved the plans presented to him. They began discussing the materials and costs required to build just the base structure. Once that was ready, they would move on to selecting the materials for each apartment and their finishes.. Perfect, that's settled then," said Henry happily, shaking Jayden's hand after they finished talking.

"In that case, we'll start measuring the land tomorrow to begin work."

"Excellent, kid. Here," Henry said, pulling a check from his jacket pocket. "This is the first payment, and I imagine, as with any project, you'll inform me about any price changes depending on the materials or modifications I request." "Yes," Jayden said with a smile.

"Well, Eric, we'll be in touch," Henry said, turning to shake Eric's hand.

"Of course," Eric replied, returning the handshake.

With that said, Henry left, happy and satisfied.

"Congratulations, son," Eric said. "You even surprised me with your designs."

"Thanks, Dad. Hehe, I actually came up with them that afternoon when I was playing with the kids," Jayden said excitedly. "Well, I'll go talk to the team so that everything will be ready for us to start work tomorrow. I'll also send other people to prepare the land," he added, leaving the room to talk to his architects and engineers.

Eric smiled, seeing the excitement in his son. Then, he let out a sigh; little by little, things were returning to normal. Well, it wasn't really normal because the threat from that guy still loomed. Now that he thought about it, he didn't understand why that man was doing all this. They didn't even know each other.

"Boss," Jimmy said, entering the room and offering him a cup of tea. "Mrs. Samantha sent this along with your medication."

"Hehe, thank you," Eric said, taking the cup to drink a bit before taking his vitamins, "So tell me, what do you think of all this?"

"I'm glad things are getting back to normal. Like your son said, our work will speak for itself."

"Yes, just like it's always been,"

"Hm... by the way, boss, there's a call for you on line 2

"From who?" Eric asked, confused.

"I think it's for another job."

"Well, transfer it over, kid," Eric said cheerfully. "Hurry up."

"Yes, sir," Jimmy said, running to transfer the call to his boss.

As Deborah had told them, maybe they lost clients because they were blinded by the offer of a much lower price than the market standard. But sometimes, cheap things end up costing more in the long run, which more people were starting to realize. Out of curiosity, Eric also started looking into it and noticed that this guy had directly attacked the market because some of their competitors had already closed down, while other companies had merged with the new Gates construction company to avoid bankruptcy. But they would prove that they wouldn't be trampled by a newcomer and would put up a fight.

Curiously, since that day, they began receiving more calls from clients seeking them out for small to medium projects because rumors had spread that they were back in business. Many old clients returned because they liked the work Cooper Enterprises provided.
