At my ex-boyfriend's engagement banquet, I appeared in full attire. He thought I was there to cause trouble, but I smiled very kindly and said, "We'll all be family from now on, no need...
Chapter 836 The villa in City A doesn’t seem to be so attractive anymore
The housekeeper asked dutifully, "Would you like to rest in the living room for a while while I have someone prepare some tea and snacks?"
"Let's take a rest after the tour." I really hope that no matter how beautiful the sea view is, it will not be as beautiful as my house!
Xiao Shiqiu has put a lot of thought into this, and I think he really loved Xiao Tiantian in the beginning.
Hearing me continue the tour, Manager Zhang's spirits lifted again. He pointed to the semi-circular sofa in the living room and said, "This is a custom sofa set from B&B Italia. The coffee table in the middle is made of a whole piece of polished Brazilian peacock blue marble. Also,"
He pointed above the coffee table and said, "Look, that's the French crystal chandelier. When the sun shines in during the winter, rainbow spots of light are reflected on the ceiling and the floor."
Manager Zhang's explanation gave me the illusion of visiting a museum. I could sense his genuine pride. "Manager Zhang, were you also involved in the purchase of these things?"
"Yes, yes, I have to check and approve everything for President Xiao."
I took the opportunity to compliment him: "Manager Zhang is truly knowledgeable. Lao Xiao trusts you so much, which shows that you are very capable."
Manager Zhang's smile was almost welded onto his face. "Hehe, I don't deserve it. I just know a little more about this topic."
He walked to the wall and touched a control panel, and the glass instantly turned opaque milky white. "This glass curtain wall is specially customized, it's a smart door and window from Rehau in Germany.
The glass is five-layer laminated, not only protecting against UV rays but also preventing fire, theft, bullets, and noise. Its thermal insulation performance is comparable to a half-meter-thick wall."
I suspect he used to work in decoration, as he could talk endlessly about building materials.
Song Ci sighed quietly, "Rich people really think about safety to the extreme. I used to see on TV that rich people's houses were full of glass, without even anti-theft windows or doors. I always felt unsafe. It turns out their glass standards start at bulletproof."
Manager Zhang didn't know Song Ci was a policeman. He just thought he was from the travel agency and smiled nonchalantly, "When we were building the house, President Xiao said that this would be a place for girls to live in, so safety must be the top priority.
The best security systems are used, and there is a helipad upstairs. If a thief breaks in, the police will arrive within five minutes at the fastest.
I was wondering what kind of girl Mr. Xiao would give the house he built with so much care to. It turned out to be a beauty like Miss Xia. They really complement each other, haha. "People who work around leaders are indeed highly emotionally intelligent.
I smiled and said nothing. Fortunately, the house had not been transferred to Xiao Tiantian at that time, so it was transferred directly from Xiao Shiqiu's name to me. Otherwise, I don't know what kind of house fighting plot would be circulated.
The housekeeper took us to the master bedroom suite on the second floor. The suite of about 200 square meters includes a bedroom, study, dressing room and bathroom, all covered with New Zealand pure wool handmade carpets.
The master bedroom bed frame is a limited edition from Promemoria in Italy, and the headboard is inlaid with natural malachite.
In the bathroom, the huge bathtub faces the sea view. I can’t help but imagine how romantic it is to take a bath while gazing at the sea view.
"The third floor is the entertainment area." The butler led us up the suspended glass staircase. "Here is a temperature-controlled wine cellar, a starry sky cinema, and a garden terrace. This terrace can be closed on rainy days."
He pushed a button to demonstrate to us, and the roof slid slowly down to cover the terrace.
On the other side of the terrace is the attic, above which is the helicopter pad.
After seeing this, I was extremely satisfied with this house. I couldn’t wait to move in after graduation. Why would I need a villa in City A?
No wonder people say that you have to compare things before you can throw them away. There is really no comparison. The last time I went to see the villa with him, I was amazed at it, but now I don’t think it is attractive anymore. I guess I will never get tired of living in this sea view house for the rest of my life.
I sighed sincerely, "This location is really great, with the mountains behind and the sea in front, it makes people feel relaxed and happy."
The slight resentment I had about transiting in Hong Kong has long since disappeared. If I hadn't happened to be staying here, I don't know when I would have remembered that I have a house here.
In my impression, Hong Kong is a place with a small land area and a large population. It is very crowded and there is nothing particularly worth visiting. I definitely would not fly here specifically to look at a house.
I asked the housekeeper, "Are you and the nanny the only two people in the house usually?"
The housekeeper replied respectfully, "We come to take care of the house once every two weeks. If Mr. Xiao wants to come, please inform us two days in advance, and we will arrange the items here a day in advance."
"Where do you usually work?" I asked casually.
"We usually work at STG. I'm in charge of logistics, and Mrs. Jiang is in charge of cleaning the top floor."
"Ms. Xia, let's go to the basement. You haven't seen that place yet." Manager Zhang smiled mysteriously.
"Oh, okay." I'm not very interested in basements. My basement is a storage room and there's nothing nice to see. The basements here by the sea must be dark and damp, but I always have to understand more about my own house.
But what surprised me was that there was a 60-meter standard swimming pool in the basement. The bottom of the pool was covered with blue and white mosaics. Moreover, since the light well was very large, it didn’t feel dark even without turning on the lights.
Next to the swimming pool is a circular hot spring pool and a full set of Finnish Harvia saunas.
"The villa is equipped with a six-car underground garage, currently parked with two cars from Mr. Xiao's collection." Manager Zhang pointed to the surveillance screen. "One is a Pagani Huayra, and the other is a Rolls-Royce Boat Tail. Miss Xia can use them anytime she comes on vacation.
By the way, Mr. Xiao has a small yacht docked nearby. We don’t have enough time today, so Miss Xia can go out to sea next time she comes for vacation.”
I don’t want to leave anymore, and traveling doesn’t seem interesting anymore. For a moment, I thought I could just take my savings and lie down in this house and live like a jerk for the rest of my life.
The photographer excitedly filmed the entire trip. He said to Ling Xiuzhi, "Director Ling, even if we don't go to New Zealand this time, the footage we shot here alone could fill a whole episode. How about we stay in Hong Kong for two days on our way back and shoot some more on the yacht?"
"You're dreaming. Think of this as a film and television studio, and film however you want." He turned and looked at me. "Sister-in-law, next time I'm filming a drama about the grudges between wealthy families, could you lend me your house?"
