Chapter 142 Chapter 142 Spending Money Day 142
After returning to Punta Arenas, Liu Yue did not return to China directly, but flew to North America first.
After landing in the United States, Liu Yue still had to wear warm clothes. It was winter in the Northern Hemisphere, and the mountain range Clo had chosen was both cold and remote. There was no airport here, and Liu Yue's helicopter had landed safely thanks to Zhang Cheng's skill. If she had been flying it herself, she wouldn't have dared to land it so easily.
Clo: "Precisely because this place is so remote, it's perfect for building a safe house."
Liu Yue followed his train of thought and said, "How do we get the supplies in? It's inconvenient, right?"
"Silly boy, we're all planning to prevent the apocalypse, so of course we have to find a way to be self-sufficient."
"Even canned food with the longest expiration date can only be used in emergencies," Cloe said. "Even if I stockpile enough to last a lifetime, can you live on it forever? That's just survival. We need to live a decent and healthy life."
Well, Liu Yue admitted that he had a point. If she could only eat canned food for the rest of her life, life would be too hard.
Also present was He Xi, who had come to the United States to discuss some business. As for why she had suddenly appeared from New York to this desolate wilderness... Liu Yue could only understand that because she had chosen the safe house plan, she would use the money given by the system to jointly fund it with Clo, so He Xi wanted to compete with Clo to see who could contribute more.
But that was unnecessary. Even if others didn't know, how could they not know? The money she received from the system was given by them.
Cloe told her that there was a difference here, and while He Xi said that building a safe house was childish, he actually believed in the concept of being prepared. It would be best if you never needed this thing, but you had to have it when you needed it.
She insisted on paying because she was scheming and wanted to have a say in the base's construction. Given He Xi's personality, she would never allow herself to one day be reduced to having to depend on Clo for her livelihood.
The latter sentence is Liu Yue's imagination, and Cloe's description is that she "judges others by her own standards."
Liu Yue deliberately said: "Dad, you are right. I will trust my boyfriend unconditionally in the future."
"That won't work!" Cloe's voice rose a few notches. "In this world, the only person you can trust without reservation is yourself!"
Liu Yue spread her hands and said, "See, Cloe understands this principle himself."
"Okay, okay..." Kro said helplessly, "Although He Xi has a bad temper, you won't suffer any loss if you learn to be a person like her."
Liu Yue said: "Actually, my mother said the same thing."
"What did she say?"
"Mom said that even though Dad has many shortcomings, I still want to learn valuable qualities from you."
Chloe's lips curled up: "Did she really say that?"
"No, I made it up." Liu Yue said with a smile, "If you really want to know how your mother sees you, why don't you ask her yourself?"
She ran away after she finished speaking, and Chloe chased after her: "You kid—"
The two chased each other in the mountains and forests. Liu Yue hid behind He Xi and immediately complained to her.
He Xi put his hands on his hips and started to scold Kro. He was so old, yet he was still so childish, actually arguing with a child!
Liu Yue made a face at Clo from behind. He was angry and wanted to laugh. He wanted to go over and grab Liu Yue's collar, but He Xi protected her like a hen protecting her chicks. The three of them just played the game of "Eagle Catches Chicken" there.
Given their personalities, this scene seems a bit ridiculous, but it is also somewhat warm and touching.
Her own well-made home can actually be very loving.
Clo continued to show her around the mountain. He planned to set up three entrances in different valleys or rock walls. The main entrance would be faked to look like a landslide, and the emergency exit would be hidden at the bottom of the lake. Of course, he also left a canyon as a material transportation port for large equipment.
The defense of the entire mountain is also very sophisticated. Liu Yue doesn't quite understand those professional terms. If someone who knows the business comes here, he will know how strong the firepower coverage of this area is.
——Offense is the best defense. Don’t worry about it. America has its own national conditions.
Liu Yue only knew one thing, she planned to invest 5 billion here. It was estimated that in addition to buying this mountain land, it would only be enough to build some defense facilities for Kro.
As for Clo's envisioned resource recycling center, vertical ecological farm, geothermal power station and full-function manufacturing plant... Liu Yue felt for the first time that 10 billion was really a small amount of money. How much research and development funds would be needed?
She spent 10 billion, racking her brains and planning months in advance; Clo spent 10 billion in the blink of an eye.
She thought Clo was just spending money for his dream, but He Xi told her that the new technology needed for the underground base was the research direction of many technology companies under Clo's name.
He built this Noah's Ark, keeping the most advanced technology for himself, and making a fortune by selling the second-rate technology to other wealthy people. The earlier versions can still be widely launched in the civilian market.
Liu Yue suddenly realized that this was actually possible!
No wonder he is a rich man while she can only lie down and spend money... The richer people are, the better they are at making money. This is true for her.
However, Liu Yue only sighed. She had long since accepted the fact that she had no talent for making money. Besides, she was about to receive 10 billion in cash, which she couldn't even spend even if she lived a lazy life, so why bother earning more?
Before she returned home, she warmly invited He Xi and Clo to attend Lucas' birthday party. Coincidentally, that day was New Year's Eve.
Both bosses said they wanted to go. Lucas was a special person. It was the first birthday party of their third-generation "eldest grandson", so why not attend?
Liu Yue didn't know whether to laugh or cry at this description, but after thinking about it carefully, it seemed to be correct.
When she returned to Shenzhen, the decoration of Maomao Villa had been completed.
Liu Yue took Lucas to inspect the product and felt that Lucas was more satisfied than she was.
The villa was originally renovated for Lucas, with cat-friendly circulation as a priority. The villa has five floors, three above ground and two underground, and each floor has a cat-friendly skywalk.
The second basement floor is a professional audio-visual room, and the first basement floor is a sunken living room. Considering that Liu Yue will invite Lucas's friends and guests to her home, an open bar and a Lucas-themed coffee area are also designed here.
People can have a drink here, cats have their own wrap-around catwalk, and Lucas's dog friends (not in a derogatory sense) can also gather around to eat snacks.
The ground floor is the living room, and there's a slide connecting to the third floor. Sang Yu has done many safety tests, and people and pets can play together.
For this slide, the first to third floors are all open, but who can blame Liu Yue and Lucas for liking it? The space in the villa is meant to be wasted, so it's not a big deal.
According to the plan of Liu Yue and the designer, the underground floor is the social area for humans, and the ground floor is more like a paradise for pets to play.
There is a pet reception hall on this floor, equipped with a fresh air system and a washing station, which can provide basic care for visiting cats and dogs and carry out cleaning and disinfection work.
Liu Yue also built an indoor playground for pets, which includes a maze, a three-dimensional cat climbing frame, and various pet sports and agility facilities.
At the same time, the first floor is more convenient to connect to the courtyard garden.
There are sunny cat nests everywhere, and a specially planned "cat walkway". The green lawn is also a good interactive area, where you can set up an outdoor kitchen, an open-air stage, and a heated swimming pool for both pets.
Although Lucas doesn't like swimming, he has many dog friends. When he invites friends to his home, Liu Yue always treats them well, all for the cat's sake.
The second and third floors above ground are nothing special. The second floor is the hotel-style guest rooms, and the third floor is her master bedroom suite. There is also a ceiling passage for cats here, and there is a cat hole at the door of each room.
After all, this is Lucas's paradise, and there's no place he can't go - except the bathroom and the kitchen, of course.
Liu Yue was very satisfied with the acceptance results of the villa. Wei Siying also visited with her.
Wei Siying was very envious: "Your house is amazing. My cousin has a cat. I doubt she would be able to walk when she sees your villa."
"This pet playground is also very good. You don't know what happens in other pet parks out there. Even if they have fences, there are still many parents letting their children go in and play."
"They want to play on the facilities, but they also complain that the dogs are too aggressive. I know someone took a dog out to play, and the child kicked and hit the dog. The dog bit him out of stress, and the parent still demanded compensation. I suspect they were deliberately trying to extort money."
Wei Siying clasped her hands together and said, "Please, please sell the park tickets! I want to get Jiajia an annual pass."
She didn't want anything else, she just wanted it to be quiet here, so that parents and children who deliberately came to the pet park couldn't get in.
Liu Yue waved her hand. Jia Jia was Lucas's friend, so why would she take money?
There is usually someone maintaining this place, and the nanny will bring Lucas here every day. There is a reception hall on the first floor anyway, so Jiajia can come whenever she wants. If she can have fun playing with Lucas, she will thank them.
The venue has been arranged and the banquet is also being prepared - whether it is food for people or food for cats and dogs, it must be delicious.
Liu Yue was planning in her mind that the next step would be to send out invitations to everyone, inviting them to attend Lucas's first birthday party and celebrate the New Year at the same time.
By the way, there’s Christmas before New Year’s Day. Do you want to take Lucas out for a couple more rounds?
