Chapter 293 Custom Furniture

Ye Qian only then noticed that they had arrived, "Can I stay in your dormitory?"

Gu Jinyan smiled and said, "Isn't it too late for you to ask this now? You just followed me without even asking."

Ye Qian blushed when Gu Jinyan said that: "Isn't it because I miss you that I am excited to see you?"

"Yes... yes... yes... I missed you too, otherwise I wouldn't have brought you here." The two got out of the car while talking. Gu Huoyan walked over, took Ye Qian's hand and walked forward, explaining as he walked: "It's okay, this is the family building where I'm staying temporarily. Besides you, there are other people's families living here too."

After that, the two of them reached the stairs. Ye Qian went upstairs in three or two steps wearing her sneakers. Gu Jinyan lived on the third floor, and that was the room at the stairs. Gu Jinyan opened the door and led Ye Qian in. After entering the room, Ye Qian looked around and after a while summed it up in one word: empty, nothing.

There was nothing there, right? There was a bed with bedding in the bedroom, and there was not even a stool in the living room. There was only a basin, a towel, a piece of soap, and a thermos in the bedroom that Gu Jinyan needed. There was nothing else except his clothes and shoes.

Ye Qian felt distressed instantly: "Is this how you've been spending the past month? Nothing at all."

"I knew you were coming and would buy a house, so I'd buy everything new. That's why I didn't buy anything. Naturally, this bed is borrowed, and the mattress is also here." Gu Jinyan explained.

"Then do you still have to work tomorrow? When are we going to buy furniture? I can't wait to move into the new house." Ye Qian asked. Gu Jinyan replied, "We can go tomorrow. I have tomorrow off. I borrowed this car in advance, so I can use it for another day tomorrow."

He will definitely have to run around a lot tomorrow, and he doesn't want to tire Ye Qian out.

…

The next day.

The two of them set off first and went to the state-owned hotel to pick up Aunt Lan and the three children and then went to have breakfast. There was a breakfast right next to the state-owned hotel. Ye Qian ordered two bowls of soy milk first. Even though she had never drunk soy milk in her later life, she had heard of its taste. She was worried that she would not be used to the taste, so she only ordered two bowls, and then ordered 10 meat buns.

When the soy milk was served, Ye Qian didn't like the taste. She took a sip and gave it to Gu Jinyan. She really couldn't get used to it, but Gu Jinyan liked it very much and drank a big bowl of it. Aunt Lan didn't like it either, so the three children also shared a big bowl. The taste was really like Gu Jinyan's.

After breakfast and picking up the person, she went straight to the furniture factory. Why didn't she buy it at the department store? It was because it was expensive. Even if she had money, she couldn't spend it indiscriminately. Money should be spent when it should be spent, but it should also be saved when it should be saved.

Their house is big and has many rooms, so they need to order a lot of furniture. If they go to a department store to buy it, not only will they need tickets, but the price will also be high. But it is different if they go to a furniture factory to order it. Not only can they customize the style themselves, but the price can also be much cheaper.

Gu Jinyan drove the car and quickly arrived at the furniture factory. Ye Qian walked in to take a look. It seemed that the business was not very good. Many workers were sitting there and not working. Instead, they were chatting together. Only a few people were working.

The staff brought them in and said, "We have ready-made ones, but they are all very simple in appearance. If you want to make them custom-made, the price will be negotiable." As they spoke, they walked in. When Ye Qian saw the furniture, she felt that the staff was telling the truth. The furniture was really simple, without any patterns at all, but it was too simple and not very suitable for their large yard.

Ye Qian was not very satisfied with these simple furniture, so she asked, "Can they be custom made?"

"What kind do you want to order?"

Ye Qian thought about it. She actually preferred the simple European style of furniture, but she had never come across this type of furniture in her current job. So she asked, "Wait a minute, I'll draw it. Can you help me?"

Ye Qian is quite experienced in furniture installation. When she was in school in her previous life, she worked as an intern designer in a decoration company for two months. She did quite well during this period. If she hadn't been working so often, she could have been directly promoted to a designer.

The staff found a place for Ye Qian to sit and paint. Of course, they didn't have much expectations. A woman who seemed to have a good environment, but she was not a professional short seller after all, so how could she paint anything? But the factory was not doing well now, and it was the same not only for their factory but also for other factories. It was good enough to have business. He would not say anything unpleasant. It would be a loss if he drove away the customers.

Ye Qian drew very quickly, and soon she had finished the designs for the wardrobe, the drunkard, and the bookcase. Of course, the design inside was the same as in later generations, without any partitions or anything, but there was no top cabinet on the highest floor. In later generations, houses were small, and every bit of space had to be utilized, otherwise things couldn't be put away together. The top cabinet served a good storage purpose.

But their house is large to begin with, and it would be so low-class to have a top cabinet in such a nice yard. So Ye Qian didn't draw this directly, but the corners of the wardrobe were also well designed. After all, there is no such thing as measuring the room now. You can't just make a cabinet based on the length of your wall. It's not like that now. You can just tell me how big you want it. You have to have some idea in your mind whether it can fit in your house.

Ye Qian gave Gu Jinyan the design drawings of the cabinets and asked, "Do you think the designs inside these cabinets are okay?"

Gu Jinyan nodded, "Okay." It wasn't just okay; it was absolutely perfect. "Okay, then. I'll draw the doors." Ye Qian had actually wanted to make sliding doors, but she was worried about not having a good track. If they broke after a while, that would be bad. So, she went with sliding doors. The design on each door was rather European. Ye Qian knocked carefully, and it looked quite classy.

She gave the wardrobe drawings to the staff first. After taking a look at them, the staff was surprised and ran out in a hurry. Ye Qian didn't care and continued to draw tables and chairs. After a while, a man came in with Ye Qian's cabinet design drawings and asked, "Excuse me, did you draw this?"

The man didn't dare to confirm, but the staff member just told him that it was painted by a woman who was quite young. When he came in, he saw this young woman painting on the table, so he asked uncertainly.

Ye Qian glanced at the man and nodded: "I drew it."

The man looked delighted and introduced himself: "Hello, I'm the factory manager here, my name is Wang Guangfa."
