Such a Rude and Noisy Woman

Chapter 351 The Mysterious Castle Owner

"Hello, everyone! I'm Chason, the housekeeper of this castle, and I'm in charge of the public bidding.

The owner built this castle and would love to send it to his wife as a sign of his love and devotion. Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

Unfortunately, he's too shy to show his affection to her in public. Hence, we hope that your design can

focus on two points: revealing his love to his wife, while, at the same time, demonstrating it in a gentle

and subtle way!"

Chason said in a solemn tone in front of all the bidders, as he was standing proudly on the stairs.

"I've read all of the information you gave to me! Also, as you can see, here we`ve got hundreds of

hectares, as well as two other yards. Saying this, my mission to introduce you to the project is

complete. Now, the ball is in your court! Take some time to look around and get acquainted with the

place! I hope all of you can give your best to display everything you are capable of!"

While listening attentively, Rachel was taking notes quickly. What he just explained about the design

indention was very important and she needed to write it down, in case she might forget it.

"Hello there! I've got a question. Could I, please, find out what`s the age of the owner's wife? And do

they have any children?" Rachel raised her hand and asked. She believed it was important to get these

answers before starting to work on her design project.

If they had kids, for sure, she was going to add to the planning some amenities and spaces, suitable for

the youngsters.

Considering the unconventional and emotional way in which Rachel was approaching this work project,

Chason paused for a moment, pleasantly surprised. Then he coughed before replying,"Good question,

ma'am! They have two kids and his wife is about your age."

"Okay, I'll write it down! Thank you!" she said, as she scratched enthusiastically in her notebook. The

other designers also had their questions to ask. Through the whole time, she had listened carefully and

respectfully.

After the short meeting, each group was sent to a sightseeing bus. All participants got some free time

to look around by themselves.

The bus driver was Carl and he was taking Rachel and Celine here and there. Although they gave

Rachel a topographic drawing before she started her tour, she drew another one herself in her own

way.

"Aren't you curious who the owner is, Rachel? He built a castle and will send it to his wife as a symbol

of his love! How awesome this man truly is!" Celine exclaimed, happy like a little girl. Lost in admiration

for the owner`s wife, Celine didn't even look around, 'Which was this lucky woman who possessed a

castle like this one? She must be a real princess.'

However, regardless of the huge interest, the owner kept being wrapped in a mysterious cloud and

didn't even show up in person at the event. No one knew his true identity.

"Oooh, stop talking nonsense! Since he's filthy rich, most probably he is just wondering what to do with

his wealth. It's easy for him to do and have absolutely anything he likes. By the way, apart from

everything else, this is a business investment too. If at some point in the future they would like to sell it,

it's no doubt they could make a large sum of money!" Rachel replied. Wherever they went, she was

constantly taking notes, truly captivated by the place and the romantic idea at the base of it.

Celine curled her grouchy lips and protested,"Even if he did have endless riches, which he couldn't

spend in two or three lifetimes, it's so rare for a man to have the desire to build a castle for his wife.

Hum, I know I couldn't even dream about a gift like that, because my Philip will never have this ability,

even if he's willing to work hard for ten lives!

But you can, Rachel! Your husband can afford this now! Show him the pictures when you have time!

Maybe your dream castle would turn into reality, when Mr. Rong receives a proper inspiration!" Celine

said smilingly and reached out to grab Rachel, who was walking ahead, in "Alice in Wonderland" state

of mind.

With a heavy sigh, Rachel turned to her friend, saying with a bitter smile,"Ooh, my dear Celine, do you

think I`m in the mood for this now? You know that we barely see each other lately. How could I have the

chance to predispose him and ask not for anything else, but for a whole castle?"

"Yes, you're right!" Celine said disappointingly. Then she held Rachel's arm and they continued walking

together.

There was another group in front. When they noticed the two women, a girl greeted them soundly,"Hey,

can I have your company's name, please?"

"Hey, we're from RaR Company!" Rachel replied and sent her a warm dazzling smile.

"RaR Company?" the girl paused, thinking it sounded familiar to her,"Nice to meet you! It's a new

company, right? We have been working in this industry for a long time, however, this is the first time I

hear your company."

"That's correct. We've just gotten into the sector, and it's a great opportunity for us to attend the event!"

Rachel said politely, yet still with dignity.

Celine approached them from behind and added proudly,"Although we're new, we've participated in the

LoveJs Project in Cliff Mountain!"

"Really?! I've been to Cliff Mountain. Undoubtedly, its model is a leading example in the industry. All of

us should learn from it. Moreover, I have heard that the price income went up over 100 millions, even

from the very first day!" the girl remarked admirably upon Celine's words.

Putting out her chest flauntingly, Celine commented to Rachel,"And it included your contributions!"

Pulling Celine by the arm, Rachel said in a low voice,"Please, be modest, for God's sake!"

"But, as we already found out, the No. 1 competitor in the garden design industry was invited here too.

I'm afraid that they'll get this project easily. Over there, look!" the girl raised her voice to draw their

attention and then, sighing, pointed at a group of people.

"They're the champion in land-shaft design contest this year. No doubt that they're the most

experienced and capable of winning!

However, I have exciting and encouraging news for you too. I discovered the owner is going to give to

the main designer a bonus of 1 million dollars, if all his requirements have been met. I believe this will

motivate all of the designers to charge ahead and try to win the bidding."

For a short time, Celine and Rachel exchanged exhilarated, glowing looks between each other. Finally,

Celine broke the silence, murmuring,"A bonus of 1 million dollars! That's so great!"

"I bet the higher the amount, the weirder the owner is. Do you think it's easy to take it with you?"

Rachel said disapprovingly.

"I don't know much about all this, but what I do know is that my curiosity about the secret owner grows

incessantly!" Celine said as she rubbed her chin thoughtfully.

Meanwhile, Rachel had walked ahead alone. After carefully looking at all the details around, she had

already drawn an action plan in her mind. That castle with gardens should be the perfect mix between

a gift from a husband to wife, that doesn't show off with materialism too much, on one hand, and on

another - it expressed his love completely, modestly, yet deeply and from the heart.

"Excuse us! We're making a survey here now!"

A woman in black suit shouted unpleasantly. Completely concentrated on her thoughts, Rachel had

walked into their survey area, without even realizing it.

"Sorry, I didn't see it!" Rachel apologized, when she noticed where she was, and moved away.

"You can't stand there too. Move over there, please!" the rude woman shouted again.

Then pointing at a place far away, she gave a long and disdained look at Rachel.

"Hey, how do you allow yourself to talk with this tone? We're all invited here and this isn't your private

territory. People are free to walk around, whether you like it or not! How could you scream at us like

that? Have you gotten the bid already?" Celine`s blood started boiling, while she observed how that

person was shouting to her friend. Then, with bold steps like an Amazonian, she approached Rachel

and pulled her aside by the arm.

The woman in black suit continued talking arrogantly,"True, we haven't gotten it yet, but I'm confident

that we're way better than you. I saw your introduction, but sadly for you, didn't notice any masterpiece

of yours. How can you imagine you have a slight chance of winning the bid, as a small company that

has just entered into this industry? That sounds ridiculous to me! Before getting out of the door, you

would better take long hard look at yourself to think whether you're qualified for the big scene!"

"How dare you! Who are you to talk to us like that?" Celine was pissed off and couldn't control her tone

any longer. She wasn't able to put up with that awful pompous woman even a second longer, so she

continued,"Before you opened your mouth you looked like a decent lady, but, unfortunately, I didn't

hear you talk as such! I believe that all the companies here have started their businesses from scratch

and haven't just appeared like the strongest competitors from the very beginning. So stop acting so

snobbish!"

Dragging Celine away from that spot, Rachel said,"Okay, let's go! Don't waste your energy, arguing

with people like her."

As she was turning around, Celine gave one last disapproving look at the woman.

"What a pompous bad-tempered woman! It's a pity to have you here!" The aggressive female husked

hostilely behind their backs.

At first, Rachel had thought that it was useless to argue with someone like her, and that's why she

made an effort to take Celine away from the "epicenter" of the scandal. However, she stopped abruptly

as soon as she heard the last "venom" comment of the woman.
