Chapter 246
Jiang Ning was not actually afraid of collecting corpses. She had seen this before in her previous life and had experienced rebirth once. Why would she be afraid of ghosts?
But Jiang Guotai and Jiang's father still asked her to leave the barren mountain and did not let her stay there. So she did not stay long and ran to the high platform to accompany Grandpa Jiang.
It is different when there are excavators. On the second and third day of the Chinese New Year, the barren mountain was completely cleaned up in two days. They mainly targeted the trees on the periphery and middle positions that were all drowned this year. As for the trees deeper inside with higher terrain, those that were still alive have not moved. They mainly collected the corpses buried in the middle position. Facts have proved that this area has the most corpses of all sizes.
Jiang Hongjun and his master collected all the bones and put them into a coffin.
This coffin was contributed by Jiang Guoding. He is 45 years old this year, and his father is almost 70 years old. The family has already prepared a red-painted coffin and hung it on the beam. Every time his daughter Jiang Yanyan comes back to her hometown, she feels scared when she sees the red coffin and is unwilling to stay in her hometown any longer.
This time it was finally sent out.
In fact, most families with elderly people in the village have a coffin at home to prevent accidents. Some coffins are prepared by the elderly themselves. The coffin is like their lifeblood, and most people are not allowed to touch it.
Jiang Guoding's father was a little unhappy to see that he was going to donate his coffin. It was only after Jiang Yanyan coaxed him that he reluctantly agreed. However, he also asked Jiang Guoding to order a new coffin for him immediately after the New Year. Jiang Guoding naturally agreed.
After the red coffin was no longer hanging on the beam of the house, Jiang Yanyan was happy to stay in the village for a few more days. It was not until the fifth day of the New Year that she followed her father and left Jiangjia Village.
After the land on the barren mountain was cleared, they took advantage of the presence of an excavator to dig up a lot of soil and rocks to raise the terrain of the barren mountain.
Jiang Qinqi's brother in the village drives a tractor to transport goods. He pulls truckloads of pebbles from the mountain stream in Shijian Township back to the barren mountains.
The mountain stream in Shijian Township is very long, spanning several brigades. It has not only many pebbles but also a lot of sand. People living in the mountains use sand dug from the mountain stream to build houses, without having to go to the river beach of Shahe.
Because he was going to build his own house, Jiang Ning also made a preliminary design for his house.
She knew that it was unlikely that she would come back in the future, and at most she would come back for a few days during the Chinese New Year, so the house would most likely be rented out to someone else as a B&B. Jiang Ning wanted to rent it to her aunt-in-law.
Because her homestead covers a total area of one acre, she used four mu of land as the homestead and six mu of land as the yard in the design of the house, which means that the actual construction area is 266 square meters. It is a three-story single-family villa with a European courtyard style. She will then plant pink roses on the courtyard wall and use large areas of bright red to reduce the gloomy atmosphere caused by the ghost stories that have been left here for many years.
The most important reason why many people dare not come to the deserted mountain is that it is a gloomy place. Because of the dense trees in the past, it was difficult for light to penetrate into the woods, resulting in a gloomy and cold feeling all year round. In addition, there are graves everywhere, and occasionally there are coffin boards and dead bones exposed outside, which makes people afraid of the deserted mountain.
If a Chinese courtyard style is used, it may look good, but I am afraid that others may think it is spooky. In the eyes of people of this era, European-style architecture is still more "Western", and "Western" sounds like "yang" in Chinese!
Although Jiang Ning's homestead is located in a sunny location at the outermost edge of the barren mountain, in order to eliminate this feeling of coldness, Jiang Ning decided to use glass walls on a large scale, trying his best to allow each room to receive a large area of light to reduce this feeling of coldness.
"This is good, this is good!" Jiang Guotai immediately clapped his hands and exclaimed when he heard Jiang Ning's pun: "It sounds very 'yang'! What our barren mountain lacks most is this yang energy!"
As for the decoration style in the room, Jiang Ning and Jiang Guotai discussed it. It just so happened that the dead trees on the barren mountain were cut down and could be used to make some original wood-colored decorations and wooden floors. Each room should have a separate bathroom with dry and wet separation.
"Uncle, I'll email or fax you the detailed design drawings later."
Jiang Ning was not able to express the effect she wanted to build just by oral description and her limited drawing skills. She planned to go to Shanghai to find Manager Qian, no, Mr. Qian now, and find a designer from Mr. Qian's decoration company to help her design the house first.
The Shanghai stock market is developing at a rapid pace and is striving to become an international metropolis and a fashion capital. In order to receive more business, Mr. Qian’s current decoration and design team includes not only domestic architectural interior design staff but also those who have studied abroad.
Although Jiang Guotai also lives in the city, the farthest place he has been to is the provincial capital and Shanghai. He mainly makes his way around his hometown. The house style he has in mind now is a neat three-story building. As for whether it looks good or not, how can good looks be more important than being comfortable to live in?
Not to mention, Jiang Ning also plans to install an independent bathroom in each room, and the room design must be beautiful.
In fact, the location of Jiang Ning's house is not the best in terms of scenery. The best location is actually Jiang Qinqi's homestead, which is right next to Jiang Ning's house.
Her residential land faces Jiangjia Village, and Jiangjiagou is about seventy or eighty meters away.
The water in Jiangjiagou is the spring water from the stream in the middle of the mountains connecting Xujia Village and Jiangjia Village. The water is very clean. The clean-loving young wives in Jiangjia Village like to come to Jiangjiagou to wash clothes, as they think the clothes washed with spring water have particularly beautiful colors.
If Jiang Ning's house is turned into a B&B in the future, guests will be able to see the gurgling water of Jiangjia Village when they go out, which may be more visually beautiful.
Jiang Ning's house is directly opposite a cement road. There are more cars coming and going, and there is a lot of dust. However, after crossing the road, there are paddy fields below, and below that is an endless river beach. In the summer, in addition to large areas of green seedlings, there are also swaying lotus flowers on both sides of the river bank, which are also beautiful.
On the third day of the Chinese New Year, people from Xujia Village had not come to cause trouble. However, on the fourth day, not only did people from Xujia Village come to the brigade headquarters to cause trouble, but even people from the first branch of Jiangjia Village went to the brigade headquarters to cause trouble, wanting to use the power of the brigade headquarters to suppress Jiangjia Village. After all, the brigade secretary Xu Changjiang was from Xujia Village. Originally, Jiang Guotai said that he would lead the entire Linhe brigade to plant tea trees together. As a result, in the first year, except for the second and third branches of Xujia Village who were willing to follow suit, when the rest of the villages heard that they had to pay for experts to buy tea trees, no one was willing to do so, and they even laughed at them for being stupid.
Now seeing the people in Jiangjia Village making money, everyone is jealous.
The people of Xujia Village did not agree to plant tea trees. They wanted Jiang Guotai from Jiangjia Village to take them to plant tea together. The people from the eldest branch of Jiangjia Village made a fuss because they wanted to divide the tea land even without signing the contract. In the future, the sisters' homesteads and tea lands would all belong to them.
The people from the big houses of Xujia Village and Jiangjia Village came to the brigade headquarters to put pressure on it. Xu Changjiang reluctantly took the brigade cadres to find Jiang Guotai, "Uncle Guotai, look at this..."
Xu Changjiang is actually only a few years younger than Jiang Guotai, but the old brigade secretary is of a younger generation, and his children are all younger than Jiang Guotai and Jiang Guoping, so the new brigade secretary Xu Changjiang follows his wife in calling Jiang Guotai "uncle".
Jiang Guotai looked up at Xu Changjiang coldly, without even moving his butt, and snorted coldly, "You want to rely on your numbers to suppress me, right? Have they forgotten that this is Jiangjia Village?"
He usually smiles in the village, and his attitude is as kind as Maitreya Buddha, but at this moment his face turned cold, and the whole person gave people a sense of oppression. That fierce momentum made Xu Changjiang, who had never felt it directly, wipe the tears from his face and look at his eldest brother-in-law for help, apologizing: "Uncle, uncle, I really don't mean it, I just want to follow you to make money..."
"If you want to make money with me, then show your attitude. I, Jiang Guotai, am not a stingy person. In the first year, did I say that I would bring the Linhe Brigade with me? Did you agree? Now that you see others making money, you are jealous, right?" His eyes were extremely cold and stern: "If you want to ask for help, you should have the attitude of asking for help! Are you going to confront me? I'm afraid they don't know me, Jiang Guotai?"
They had a nice idea, thinking that by making a fuss, they could get people from the brigade to come forward and force Jiang Guotai and Jiang Guoding, but was Jiang Guotai brought up to be scared?
Jiang Guotai was so stubborn and self-willed in the later part of his previous life, and his personality was extremely tough. It would be fine if you talked to him in a gentle way, but would he be afraid if you oppressed him in such a tough way? Not to mention that Jiangjia Village itself is his home ground. He is working on the project and has so many people under him. With just one phone call, he called three motorboats with two boats to come over. Jiang Guoding also called the police.
The people of Xujia Village may be very aggressive, but the reason they made trouble was to get Jiang Guotai to help them get rich. They didn't really want to offend Jiang Guotai, Jiang Guoding and Jiang Ning. Once Jiang Guotai became tough, the people of Xujia Village became timid and started to speak softly.
Not only did the people from Xujia Village back off, but even the people from the big house in Jiangjia Village also retreated. This was because the people from the big house were not united to begin with and were divided into two parts. The part of the big house headed by Jiang Shujun's family had all signed the contract, and some of them had benefited last year. They and Jiang Guotai formed a community of interests and were naturally in the position to protect Jiang Guotai's interests.
After all this commotion, they didn't get any share of the tea land this year.
Jiang Jun got married on the sixth day of the Lunar New Year. Jiang Jun wanted Jiang Ning to have sex with him, but Uncle Jiang refused to agree this time, fearing that all he would have were granddaughters. So he found a strong and handsome little boy in the village who was as chubby as a calf to have sex with him.
Unfortunately, Jiang Jun thought the little boy didn't know how to say a blessing, so he dragged Jiang Ning over and rolled again. Uncle Jiang quickly said, "Both sons and daughters, both sons and daughters!"
In the early years when family planning was not so strict in the village, they could hide in the mountains to have children. Now, after a long time, twenty years of family planning have caused people to take family planning for granted. In addition, if one has a daughter, they can have a second child five years later. Now there are fewer people who have more than one child. Starting from the past two years, there have been a small number of only children in the village.
As soon as Jiang Jun's wedding was over, Jiang Ning and Jiang Bai left Jiangjia Village with Grandpa Jiang. This was the longest time they had stayed in the village during the winter vacation. They did this just to make sure that the girls would be allocated homesteads. Now that Jiang Guotai was following up and implementing this matter, Jiang Ning left with peace of mind.
When leaving, Jiang Guotai also gave Jiang Ning a lot of local specialties, and asked Jiang Ning to give them to producer Li, screenwriters Yuan Jiang and other CCTV staff. Jiang Guotai also taught her: "The more gifts, the less blame. Don't feel embarrassed. This is a good relationship." He lowered his voice and taught Jiang Ning: "It will be of great benefit to you in the future."
Jiang Ning smiled with her eyes curved, nodded, and said to Jiang Guotai with an 'I understand' expression: "Thank you, uncle, I understand everything, don't worry."
She is not a fool. If she doesn't have this much shamelessness, she won't be able to get by in the officialdom.
It's not that Dad Jiang didn't know that it was inappropriate for Jiang Ning and Jiang Bai to take Grandpa Jiang out, but he and Mom Jiang had no way of bringing Grandpa Jiang with them. The house they rented in Shenzhen was too small, with only one room, just enough for him and Mom Jiang. Even when they cooked, they used a large stove with nine coal briquettes in the corridor. Dad Jiang bought cement himself and built a simple cutting table with the gray bricks from the collapsed old house next door.
It's not that they don't want to rent a better house. Firstly, the rent of a better house is more expensive. He and Jiang's mother are the only two of them. The house they live in now is a red brick and tile house, which is many times newer than the old house in their hometown. Except that it is not a building, there is nothing wrong with it. It is close to the train station and there is a large pond at the door, which is convenient for washing things. So they didn't think about changing.
The second point is that in their hometown, too many young people go out to work, leaving the elderly and children in their hometown, becoming left-behind children and left-behind elderly people. No one thinks this is something wrong. It is indeed a common phenomenon in their rural areas. Besides, Uncle Jiang and his family are still taking care of them in their hometown, so they don’t think there is anything wrong with Grandpa Jiang staying in his hometown.
Even though Jiang Guotai is doing so well now, his parents still stay in their hometown to run a shop. They are unwilling to move to the city. They are used to living in the house in their hometown and used to having a bunch of old friends come to his home every day to chat, brag, and listen to storytelling. Life is much better than living in a house as big as a pigeon cage in the city!
Jiang Guotai used to live in a two-story house in the town, but the yard was small and there were strangers around him. He didn't want to go there at that time, mainly because he didn't want to live with his daughter-in-law.
After Jiang Guotai moved to the city, their current house has four bedrooms and two living rooms. He and Shen Hongyun live in the master bedroom, their son Jiang Xin has one room, and their daughter Jiang Miao has another room. They didn't hire a nanny. There is another room that is usually used as a study for Jiang Guotai, Jiang Xin, and Jiang Miao. The old couple occasionally stay there for a couple of days. It is the old couple's room, which should not be small in theory, but in the eyes of Lao Zhonghua and his wife, who are used to living in their hometown, it is too small and crowded.
Just like when they were little and had to squeeze into a small house with their brothers and sisters, why don’t they live in the apartment building in their hometown and go and squeeze in with them? Grandpa Zhonghua was unwilling to do so. The key point was that he felt he was in good health and was not unable to move!
Jiang Guotai now has three sand factories in Shahe, and the Linhe Brigade has built a wharf. If Jiang Guotai and his grandchildren want to come back to see them, they can take a speedboat and arrive in half an hour. Why do they have to go to the city?
This common concept in rural areas makes Jiang's father and mother feel that there is nothing wrong with keeping Grandpa Jiang in his hometown.
As for Grandpa Jiang, he had been following Jiang Ning and Jiang Bai to the city in recent years. They all thought that Grandpa Jiang went to the city to earn tuition for Jiang Ning. Even though Dad Jiang regularly sent tuition and living expenses to Jiang Ning and Jiang Bai every semester, every time Grandpa Jiang came back, they asked him what he was doing outside. Grandpa Jiang always answered with a smile: "What? I work as a fireman for a restaurant. I'm so old, what else can I do?"
When asked how much it cost a month to be a fireman for others, he replied, "Three hundred yuan, what? Do you want to earn that too?"
He keeps his mouth shut. For several years now, no one has been able to get a single word out of Grandpa Jiang.
Grandpa Jiang has been like this since he was young. Otherwise, how could he, an old coal farmer who has been drilling coal holes, digging coal and carrying coal since he was eleven or twelve years old, get a job as a forest ranger?
How difficult it was to find a job that paid and was not that tiring at that time. If he had such a big mouth, how could he have gotten the job of forest ranger?
Therefore, until now, Jiang's father, Jiang's mother and the villagers did not know that Jiang Ning not only had a house in Shanghai, but also a big villa!
It was precisely because he didn't know that Jiang Ning was going to build a house this time that Jiang's father was very enthusiastic. After hearing that Jiang Ning was going to build a three-story house, he immediately said that he would pay for Jiang Ning!
I originally wanted to spend 100,000 yuan, because the house built for the old family, including the decoration, cost almost 100,000 yuan.
But if he asked for 100,000 yuan, he thought Jiang Ma would tear him to pieces!
I wanted to ask for 60,000, but I was worried that I wouldn’t even get 60,000
After hesitating for a while, Jiang Guotai said impatiently, "Okay, I get it. I'll build Ningning's house. I won't give you your share of the sand factory next year. Just build a house for Ningning. I'll make up for the shortfall!"
He really couldn't stand the way Jiang's father hesitated and was very annoyed when he should have made things clear!
"I said I would give Ningning 10% of the profits, so I have 10% of the profits. Just keep your money. Ningning doesn't need your money anymore!"
Even though Jiang Guotai invested a lot of money this year, he didn't give Jiang Ning a penny less.
Under normal circumstances, Jiang Ning would not have accepted it, but this year was different. Jiang Guotai gave Jiang Ning the money, and Jiang Ning and his friends went to Wucheng to meet Song Peifeng. After arriving in Shanghai, they directly invested in the stock market.
In 1999, Jiang Guotai's net profit from the three sand factories alone was close to 20 million. The share given to Jiang Ning just made it a perfect total of 2 million.
The money Jiang Ning has invested in the stock market now is more than what Jiang Guotai's three sand factories earn in a year.
This year, Jiang Bai did not go out to film, but Tong Jingang had made so many connections before, and he spent the New Year on the crew with He Xiaofang, Lu Xuehua, Liu Ping and others who were working during the winter vacation. This year, he did not go back to Shanghai with them.
The heating in the villa in Shanghai had been turned on a long time ago. Although it was after the Spring Festival, it was still very cold in the first month of the year. As soon as Grandpa Jiang arrived at Jiang Ning's villa, he felt so comfortable that he took off his big cotton trousers and wolfskin vest. He didn't want to sleep on the bed and preferred to sleep on the hard and warm floor, which made him feel comfortable.
Jiang Ning and Song Peifeng went to Mr. Qian's decoration company to find Qian Shengli.
Mr. Qian's company is located in the community of the secondary examination apartment building that Jiang Ning bought. This community was originally for commercial and residential use. Under the influence of Jiang Ning, he also bought two apartments, one for his own use and one for living with Jiang Ning. He renovated it into a rental house and rented it out. Later, he bought another apartment in Phase 3, which was divided into two floors and used as the office of the decoration company.
As soon as Jiang Ning arrived, he greeted her with a smile: "Hey, Miss Ningmeng, long time no see. My little place is so brightened up by your presence!" He shook hands with Jiang Ning enthusiastically, and put one hand on her back. He wanted to put his arm around her shoulders, but Jiang Ning was wearing three-centimeter-high leather shoes and was taller than him, so he could only put his hand on her back affectionately, so that the company employees could see at a glance that he and Jiang Ning had a good relationship: "I've asked someone to clean your villa and turned on the heating. How is it? Is it okay?"
"Thank you, Brother Qian." Jiang Ning called him Brother Qian affectionately, which made Qian Shengli smile even more. He shook hands with Song Peifeng again and said, "Is this Ning Meng's boyfriend? He is really a handsome man!"
As he spoke, he had already led the two people into his office.
The house he bought was big, with a total of 200 square meters. Excluding the common area, the two floors have a total of more than 300 square meters, so his office is very large, estimated to be at least 40 square meters. In the design of the company, he also referred to Jiang Ning's suggestions when he first decorated it for him. The large floor-to-ceiling windows make his office, or his entire company, very well lit. Sitting at his desk, he can see the Huangpu River below, and the view is also very good.
It can be said that Jiang Ning was definitely his guide into the decoration industry. Many of the designs his company made for others later were based on the designs Jiang Ning had made for his own house. Compared with the decoration styles and concepts of other decoration companies in the same industry, they were at least 10 to 20 years ahead.
This has ensured that their decoration company has maintained business since its establishment, even during the worst economic times.
"Come, come, sit down." He led Jiang Ning and Song Peifeng to the leather sofa in his office, made tea for them, and said with a smile: "I know that Miss Ning Meng would not come to you for no reason. Did you buy another house?"
Jiang Ning handed the 'Wugong Tea' she brought to Mr. Qian and said with a smile: "This is a specialty of our hometown, 'Wugong Tea'. If you like it, brother Qian, please tell me. I have an acre of tea field in my hometown. If you have finished the tea, just tell me."
Jiang Guotai's influence is currently limited to the local area, and his sales channels are mainly in neighboring cities, Wujiang City, provincial capitals and other places. In addition, some tea merchants from other places, after seeing the publicity on CCTV, smelled the business opportunity and came to Jiangjia Village to order tea.
But his influence has not yet spread to the Shanghai Stock Exchange.
Mr. Qian is now the boss of a company of varying sizes, and he is in the hottest construction and decoration industry of this era. This industry will be popular for at least another 20 years in the future.
Not to mention his current status, as a former deputy director of a state-owned unit, his local connections in Shanghai cannot be underestimated. Not to mention anything else, his younger brother is the editor-in-chief of the Shanghai branch of "Wuxia" and has a lot of acquaintances in the banking system.
Jiang Ning smiled and said, "Brother Qian, don't underestimate this 'Wu Gong Tea' from my hometown. It was featured on CCTV for special promotion. Now many leaders of the central government are drinking our 'Wu Gong Tea'. Last year's TV series 'Legend of the White Snake's Cultivation of Immortality' featured our 'Wu Gong Tea'. I wonder if Brother Qian has heard of it?"
The Shanghai stock market is far away from the Beijing capital, and Mr. Qian's circle and Producer Li's circle are completely different. Mr. Qian spends the entire summer either running business on the construction site or with the decoration team. How can he have time to watch TV series? So he really didn't know about this 'Wugong Tea'.
"Then I'll have to taste it carefully!" He hurriedly took the beautifully packaged tea that Jiang Ning handed over, and found that Jiang Ning brought quite a lot, at least five or six pounds, each half a pound per box, packaged in exquisitely made white round-bellied porcelain bottles with blue and white patterns. Each one was individually packaged, very suitable for giving as a gift.
He looked at Jiang Ning in surprise. Jiang Ning just took a sip of tea and smiled without saying anything.
They are all smart people. He understood Jiang Ning's intention at a glance, but he didn't care. If it was really as Jiang Ning said, that this was the tea that CCTV focused on promoting last year, and the leaders of the central government were all drinking it, then it was his ability that he could get a few kilograms of Mingqian tea, right?
Mr. Qian first opened the ceramic jar to look at the color of the tea leaves and the buds, and discovered that they were all Mingqian tea with small buds. Although they were from last year, the tea leaves were extremely well preserved. As soon as he opened the ceramic jar, a fresh tea fragrance wafted in.
He picked up some with a bamboo stick and put it into a transparent tea set, then brewed it with boiling water. A faint fragrance spread along with the hot smoke. The tea soup was clear, and the opened buds and leaves were even more lively and elegant, with the fragrance of tea everywhere.
This alone was enough for him to exclaim, "Good tea!"
Jiang Ning smiled and said, "Of course the tea is good, otherwise it wouldn't have been on CCTV. Because the soil and water in our area are good, these Wugong teas have also been tested by professional testing agencies. The content of amino acids and various elements beneficial to the body is 20% higher than that of similar teas."
Then she recounted the origin of the "Wugong Tea" on their "Wugong Mountain".
No matter what product it is, first of all, we need to package it with a high-end background, the so-called brand story or background story.
As a former deputy factory director within the system, Mr. Qian of course listened with great interest.
Jiang Ning finished talking about all this before getting to the point. "Actually, the reason I came to see Brother Qian this time is related to 'Wu Gong Tea'. Didn't CCTV go to our hometown to film and promote 'Wu Gong Tea' last year? Also, because the scenery in our hometown is too beautiful, a lot of scenes in the TV series 'Legend of the White Snake' were taken in my hometown Wucheng and our brigade. Now I have been allocated an acre of residential land in the village. I want to build a European-style sunny single-family villa on this residential land. In terms of lighting, it is still the same as before, with large floor-to-ceiling windows, but the interior decoration style should be simple and fashionable. I think I can only feel at ease if I entrust this design task to Brother Qian!"
When Mr. Qian heard that a big business was coming, he was very surprised that this time it was not only about interior design and decoration, but also included overall architectural design.
Their design team has done so many interior designs, but this is the first time they have received an order that combines architectural design with interior decoration design. There are several architectural design professionals in their team, and they immediately said, "Don't worry, leave it to me. I guarantee that the design will be beautiful!"
It's not that Jiang Ning doesn't trust the house built by Jiang Guotai, it's just that it's a small place and the experience is limited. Unlike Shanghai, a big city, Mr. Qian has been doing interior decoration in recent years. In terms of foresight in house design, he is indeed better than Jiang Guotai.
Manager Qian quickly called his decoration design team over. Because the Spring Festival had just passed, Jiang Ning's order was the first order they received after the New Year. After Jiang Ning told him about her decoration requirements, Manager Qian called several designers at once, and one of them was actually a foreigner.
Jiang Ning joked with Mr. Qian and said, "Brother Qian's company has started to go international."
Mr. Qian smiled modestly and said, "Excuse me."
Originally Jiang Ning wanted to build a three-story house, but after Jiang Ning said that her residential land was one acre and she planned to use four mu of land to build the house and leave six mu of land for the yard, and it was difficult to build a basement, and the main purpose was to use it as a characteristic B&B like a hotel, several designers suggested that the house could be built a little higher and the floor height could be increased.
"Of course, Miss Jiang Ning should also be mentally prepared for the budget. It will definitely be higher than your previous budget, but in the long run, building a four-story building is definitely more in line with Miss Jiang Ning's interests than building a three-story building."
There are currently no special B&Bs in Shanghai, including the people in Mr. Qian’s office. Many of them have only stayed in some hotels in Shanghai. Even for five-star hotels, they have only visited and learned, but have never designed one themselves. However, a designer who returned from studying abroad and a designer from Austria, who had seen many cases abroad, soon came up with their own ideas.
After listening to the ideas of several designers, Jiang Ning finally decided to use the design concept of the designer who majored in architectural design and studied abroad, and asked him to design the entire house for her.
She was not in a hurry to go to Beijing this time. All the houses in Shanghai have been renovated. Except for the villa, a house bought near Jiang Bai University, and the first apartment building that was renovated, the rest of the houses were handed over to Manager Qian to renovate them into suitable rental houses, and Jiang Bai was asked to help post rental information and collect rent.
In addition to the villa and the two houses bought behind Jiangbai University, most of Jiang Ning's houses were bought in the apartment building community where Manager Qian sold the house at that time and the neighboring community. At that time, she had not thought about buying a villa. After renovating the first 300-square-meter apartment she bought, she planned to live here with Grandpa Jiang and let Grandpa Jiang be a landlord from now on, making it convenient to collect rent.
Who knew that later they bought a villa not far from that community. Now Jiang Ning lives in this villa in Shanghai. Grandpa Jiang, on the other hand, often lives in Jiang Bai's house in the community behind the university. That house also has heating. The key is that Grandpa Jiang likes the leisurely and energetic atmosphere of the university.
Now it’s a bit inappropriate to call Grandpa Jiang the landlord, so Jiang Ning can only hand over the rent collection of these houses to Jiang Bai.
Jiang Bai already knew that there seemed to be more houses under his sister's name than the two behind his school that he knew of, including a villa and a duplex apartment building. But he did not expect that there were so many houses under his sister's name!
In addition to the ones he knew, there were twelve more!
Jiang Bai was shocked when he suddenly found out about all his sister’s properties!
Where did his sister get the money? Buy so many suites?
