It took three months to complete the decoration inside and outside Beitou Shopping Mall. Except for the eighth floor and the first and second floors, which took a lot of time, the rest of the floors were only simply decorated.

Master Dai and a dozen workers calculated their wages and left the town. Master Xiangqian led the workers to install the water tank.

Ling Ran called the workers from the water plant and this time connected the water pipes and water meters to the sinks of every stall on the first floor.

It took a long time to install 60 stalls. The workers were very careful and checked all the water pipe switches before going to the pump room to turn on the motor to pump water into the water tank.

Because the three water tanks are of different sizes, Zhou Xiang and Ling Ran are unwilling to share the water pump with others. Therefore, there will be no conflicts when encountering maintenance problems in the future with three water tanks and three water pumps. Now that the third to seventh floors have been leased by the Kong family, it is more reasonable to separate the water pumps.

After the water pump stopped working, the workers began to check the water pipes and test the faucets from the eighth floor, and checked all the way down. This was the only job the water plant workers did that day.

Ling Ran stuffed two packs of cigarettes into the worker's hand and left his phone number, telling him that if there were any problems in the future, he could just ask him to come and fix it.

The worker smiled and took the cigarette. "Okay! If you have any questions next time, just call me. My last name is Liu."

"Yes! Master Liu, you were the one who connected the pipe network here. Of course, you'll be the one to come to me from now on."

"Yes, yes, I'm familiar with every interface."

The water supply was finished, but the electricity wasn't! We had to hire someone from the substation to install meters for every stall on the first floor, which took another day.

The tap water is connected and there is no problem with the water tank. Master Xiangqian checked the playground on the second floor. After confirming that the number of bumper cars booked was reasonable, he called the manufacturer to arrange for delivery. He also contacted the manufacturer of the dining tables and chairs.

The townspeople only felt that the shopping mall at the north end was becoming more and more lively. When one wave of people left, two waves of people would come. Just a few days later, three more trucks came to deliver goods to the north end.

After two or three days of bustling activity, a startling sound was heard from the second floor of the mall.

"Oops! You bumped into me."

"Oh! Hide quickly!"

"Oops! We bumped into each other again."

Lu Jin and several security guards were trying out bumper cars. After a while, the ten coins each of them used for the test drive were all gone.

A few people looked at each other and thought, is it a bit dark? A one-yuan coin can only play for three minutes. They played for half an hour and lost ten yuan.

There are also two carousels on the side, which require tickets. Children under six are free but must be accompanied by an adult. Adult tickets are one yuan, and 0.5 yuan for children aged 6 to 18. Each time, the carousel rotates 10 to 12 times. Of course, the 12-round carousel is a smaller one.

After testing the facilities at the amusement park and confirming they were all working properly, he paid Master Xiangqian his wages. "Ling Ran, didn't you also build the school? Remember to come to me if you need work!"

"Don't worry! I've got your personal phone numbers. I'll call you back after the school is finished."

Master Xiangqian also left, and the Kong family was the only one left to renovate the mall.

The market town seemed to have suddenly become quiet, and the townspeople were a little uncomfortable with it. It seemed that it was better to be bustling with activity, where they could see new things and learn new things.

Guo Xuehua took advantage of his off-get off work time to slowly tidy up the building, the only thing left was to buy a dog.

Zhou Kai was very enthusiastic, "Sister Guo, don't worry, I'll get you a dog."

Ling Ran glared at him, "Don't even think about going anywhere."

Zhou Kai extended his hand and said, "Borrow my phone for a minute. I won't leave. I'll ask someone to bring it over."

Ling Ran took out his phone and gave it to him. He called for more than ten minutes before hanging up. "I'll deliver it tomorrow."

The next day, a young man came, carrying a two or three-month-old puppy in a wicker basket. The four dogs in the house started barking for a while, and even woke up the three babies upstairs.

Seeing Ling Ran coming downstairs with a cold face, Zhou Kai quickly handed the wicker basket to Guo Xuehua, "Sister Guo, quickly take the puppy home."

Guo Xuehua took the basket, thanked the two young men, and hurriedly left the Zhou family.

Ling Ran suppressed his anger, nodded to the young man who brought the dog, and then went upstairs.

Gao Fei finally breathed a sigh of relief after Ling Ran disappeared from view. "Oh my god! You scared me to death. What on earth are you doing in this town?"

Zhou Kai, who had been holding back for a long time, finally found someone to talk to. He raised his head, stood next to his classmate, took off his coat, clenched his fists, and tensed the muscles in his arms. "Look, look, look at my muscles. These are my recent achievements."

Gao Fei, who hadn't paid much attention to it before and just thought his classmate had grown taller, saw the faintly bulging muscles under Zhou Kai's slightly tight long-sleeved T-shirt after Zhou Kai took off his coat.

Then, noticing the bulge on his tense arms, she enviously asked, "You, have you undergone systematic training?"

"Of course. Otherwise, how could I have hidden in this shabby place for so long? I tell you, three years. After three years, I will have at least achieved a minor level of success."

"What do you mean by practicing to a small degree?"

"Internal skills! What else can I practice?"

"Do you really have internal strength?" Gao Fei's face was full of surprise and envy.

"Of course I am. I am still in the early stages of physical training. Once I succeed in physical training, I will be able to meditate and practice internal skills." Zhou Kai said with great pride.

"Is this true? Can I practice with you?" Gao Fei became excited.

Zhou Kai was a little embarrassed. "Gao Fei, although we are best buddies, I have to say something upfront. I can't make the decision about your practice. I still begged my cousin to teach me! I was not allowed to go home for three years, so I asked you to send the puppy here.

Your family still wants you to continue going to school, and you have to listen to your parents, but I have the final say at home. Otherwise, how can I stay here for the martial arts I love?"

Gao Fei was very disappointed. He also wanted to drop out of school, but his family disagreed. They said that he had to get his junior high school diploma on his own merits and they would not ask anyone for help.

"Your cousin taught you? She knows martial arts?"

"Yes, I can lift up the wooden sofa with one hand and dry the fish in the blink of an eye. When will I be able to reach that level?

Practicing is really not easy. Don’t look at me sitting here chatting with you. I finished my exercise at 4 o’clock in the morning. I will go to practice on the rings soon.

"Come on, come on, I'll go with you and see how you exercise."

"good!"

Ling Ran listened to the noise downstairs and said to his wife, "Don't try to trick Zhou Kai into coming here. We have too many things to do and really can't worry about these trivial matters."

Zhou Xiang didn't care, "He has a status, and I want to keep him by my side, so I didn't charge him any fees, and I also took care of his food, clothing, and shelter.

I don't care about others either, but I still charge tuition. I don't think any parent would be willing to pay for it. The food expenses here are very expensive."

Ling Ran breathed a sigh of relief. The fees were high! Parents today are not like those in later generations, enrolling their children in one training class after another.

Gao Fei looked at Zhou Kai's smooth pull-up, swing and loop movements on the rings, his eyes full of envy and admiration.

After being invited to Zhou's house for lunch, he suddenly had the idea that Zhou Kai's future would definitely be extraordinary, and he also wanted to become an extraordinary person.
