Chapter 540 Installing the Phone
Especially after hearing that Yang Furong rejected him, Li Xiang became even more motivated. He wanted to work hard to become an outstanding person. When he could stand shoulder to shoulder with Yang Furong, he would officially start pursuing her...
Including Lin Erniu, there are a total of four carpenters. Tan Chen arranged a separate room in the large courtyard to temporarily use as a carpentry shed.
After everything was arranged, the two businesses started at the same time.
Since Tan Chen became busy, he had to take leave from school frequently. He and Shang Ruoting both felt that this was not the best solution if it continued in the long run.
So, after some discussion, the couple decided to talk to Zhao Dongsheng about the situation and see if there was any good solution.
Tan Chen was too busy, so this matter fell on Shang Ruoting.
Shang Ruoting had no classes in the afternoon, so she planned to go home to see the two little ones and find time to visit Zhao Dongsheng.
As a result, Zhao Dongsheng and Wang Yuemei took the initiative to come to the door.
Shang Ruoting was very surprised. She knew that Zhao Dongsheng was not the kind of person who liked to communicate, so he must have come here for something.
After letting the two into the living room, Zhao Dongsheng stated his purpose directly.
"Ruoting, we know that Tan Chen has been busy helping people with renovations lately. Your Aunt Wang and I really like the style of his designs. Could you please ask Tan Chen to design my little house for me?"
Shang Ruoting didn't need to ask Tan Chen's opinion on this point. After all, even if Zhao Dongsheng asked him in person, he would agree without hesitation.
"That's no problem. I'll let Tan Chen go to your house tomorrow to take a look."
Zhao Dongsheng nodded: "Okay, your Aunt Wang doesn't have classes tomorrow, so you can go home anytime."
Shang Ruoting agreed to Zhao Dongsheng's request on behalf of Tan Chen, and did not bother to be polite with them, and talked about her own affairs.
"Teacher, Tan Chen has been very busy recently, and it's not very convenient for him to take leave frequently. Can you find a suitable reason so that he can attend his professional classes when he has them, and do his own things the rest of the time?"
Although this was not a very tactful way of putting it, Shang Ruoting felt that there was no need to beat around the bush when communicating with someone like Zhao Dongsheng, as it would only make him feel disgusted.
Wang Yuemei knew her husband was a conservative person, and fearing he would refuse outright, she took advantage of Zhao Dongsheng's response and quickly asked, "If Tan Chen can study his academic subjects on his own and pass them, we can consider this."
Zhao Dongsheng glared at Wang Yuemei, knowing what she meant. She was just afraid that he would refuse.
Although he was unhappy, he did not refute and wanted to hear what Shang Ruoting had to say.
Shang Ruoting said, "Teacher Zhao, Aunt Wang, Tan Chen can study on his own in the evening, there will be absolutely no problem."
If it weren't for the purpose of gradual progress, Shang Ruoting would have wanted to tell Tan Chen that he would not attend his professional classes either.
Zhao Dongsheng pondered for a moment and raised his head: "As long as Tan Chen can ensure that his academic performance is not bad, I can make it easier for him.
I will inform his class teacher tomorrow and tell him that I have found a place for Tan Chen to practice his major."
Seeing that the matter was settled, Shang Ruoting thanked him repeatedly: "Thank you, Teacher Zhao, thank you, Aunt Wang. Don't worry, I promise that Tan Chen's studies will not fall behind."
By then, she can help Tan Chen with his academic studies appropriately, and the results will definitely not be worse than studying in school.
In this way, Tan Chen will have a lot more free time.
Just after seeing off Zhao Dongsheng and his wife, Tan Shaowen came over with two post office staff.
"Ruoting, I'll install a phone here for you so it'll be convenient for you to contact me if you need anything."
Shang Ruoting has long wanted to have a phone at home, especially since Tan Chen now has business dealings, it is indeed much more convenient.
"Thank you, Dad. I'll pay for the phone installation."
Tan Shaowen waved his hand: "You don't have to worry about this matter, Dad will arrange it."
Seeing this, Shang Ruoting did not act pretentiously and watched the two staff members busying themselves there.
At the same time, I was also grateful to Tan Shaowen. In that era, it was not something that ordinary people could do to install a telephone in their home.
Needless to say, there are layers of approvals, and if you don’t have connections, you can’t get it done no matter how much money you spend.
I guess Tan Shaowen put a lot of thought into it.
It took more than an hour to install the phone. The staff told Shang Ruoting that it would have to wait until tomorrow to be used normally.
Tan Shaowen held Sanbao and Sibao for a while before leaving with the two workers.
When Tan Chen came back in the evening, Shang Ruoting told him the two things that happened in the afternoon truthfully.
I am sincerely grateful to my father for helping me install the telephone.
In addition, Tan Chen did not plan to delay helping Zhao Dongsheng design the decoration drawings for his home. After all, he still had a lot of things to do tomorrow.
After dinner, around six o'clock in the evening, he drove to Zhao Dongsheng's house.
Zhao Dongsheng's house is not a courtyard-style building, but an ordinary building with a separate entrance and courtyard.
There are three brick and tile houses in the middle, with a small courtyard in front of the houses, which are somewhat similar in style to Zhou Ergu's house.
