"Why did you come so early?"
Ye Beiping, who had been invited into the house, smiled and replied, "I'm planning to go back to Pingba Village today. By the way, is Xiaolong still not up?"
Speaking of Tang Xiaolong, Zhou Xiaomei sighed.
"Nobody's home during the Lunar New Year, and they're all up in the morning. I can't even see them."
"Really?" This made Ye Beiping frown, slightly worried.
But it wasn't too obvious.
Zhou Xiaomei quickly poured a cup of hot water and sighed, "Xiaolong used to come back when he was broke, but now that he's rich, he's probably with those people every day. If we send him to pay New Year's visits, it's just a formality. He'll just drop off his things and leave."
When this was mentioned, Zhou Xiaomei looked very worried.
“If this continues, I’m really worried that Xiaolong won’t even have anyone to go with in the future.”
Noticing that Ye Beiping was still there, Zhou Xiaomei quickly changed her tune, explaining with a smile, "Of course, Beiping wasn't referring to you guys."
"fine."
Ye Beiping didn't care about any of that. He had come to see Zhou Xiaomei today because he had something to discuss, so he spoke directly.
"Actually, Sister Zhou, I came to see you today because I have something to ask you. Do you know anyone in the construction field? I have a drawing here and I'd like you to help me find some connections to create a building blueprint based on this framework."
Looking at the blueprints Ye Beiping handed over, Zhou Xiaomei raised her slightly thick eyebrows.
I guess she was wearing makeup.
After she finished reading it, she said, "You'll have to wait a bit. I need to ask what you need this for."
Ye Beiping smiled, naturally believing in Zhou Xiaomei's abilities.
"We're planning to build a new house in our hometown. I'm thinking of designing the exterior myself, but I don't know much about architecture, so could you please find someone knowledgeable to design it for us? We want to use reinforced concrete."
"What?" Zhou Xiaomei was taken aback, and glanced at the blueprints again: "Reinforced concrete?"
It's not that this thing doesn't exist now.
It was the thought of using these things to build a house in the countryside that surprised her.
These are the things that the national team uses now, specifically for building high-rise buildings.
In Zhou Xiaomei's memory, rural areas were probably all about mud-brick houses.
"What's wrong? Is there a problem?" Ye Beiping asked curiously.
"No, there's no problem."
Zhou Xiaomei was just surprised; it wasn't that she couldn't get these materials, but she probably needed to use some connections.
How much material does it take to build a house?
After thinking for a moment, she nodded in agreement: "Okay, are you leaving today?"
"Yes, I'm going back to my hometown in a bit." Ye Beiping nodded, then suddenly remembered something and said, "Oh, right, Sister Zhou, there are two more things I need your help with."
"What's up?" Zhou Xiaomei joined their team from the beginning to solve some problems for Ye Beiping, so she felt much more at ease taking the money when she had something to do.
Besides, Ye Beiping treated the mother and son quite well, even giving them such a large red envelope during the New Year.
"Firstly, regarding the warehouse issue, my idea is to keep it. I hope that while I'm back, Sister Zhou can help me find out some information about the shoes and mail them to me. I'll give you the address later."
After a pause, Ye Beiping continued, "Secondly, it's about the car. I'll be back for at least another month, so if possible, could you help me extend the time? If not, I'll just have to leave the car here, and you can have someone come and pick it up later."
Zhou Xiaomei thought it was something serious, but these two things weren't big deal, so she quickly agreed.
"No problem, these are not issues."
At that moment, a 'whooshing' sound came from the kitchen.
Zhou Xiaomei then remembered something, hurriedly ran to the kitchen, and came out a minute later.
Seeing that Ye Beiping had already reached the door, she quickly asked, "Aren't you going to have some breakfast before you leave?"
In any case, Ye Beiping and their family are now in a superior-subordinate relationship.
When a boss comes to your door, you're bound to invite them in for a meal.
Ye Beiping didn't think too much about it and shook his head with a smile: "I won't eat. I have to rush back to my hometown. I'll leave these three things to you, Sister Zhou."
"By the way, I've already written down the address and left it on the coffee table. Please mail me the house plans and the research materials about shoes together later."
"Alright." Zhou Xiaomei did not insist that Ye Beiping stay.
After all, they have a lot to do, and they'll be busy again soon after the New Year.
As Ye Beiping stepped outside, he remembered the Xile Hotel and turned to Zhou Xiaomei, saying, "By the way, Sister Zhou, could you please keep an eye on my sister's restaurant for me? Could you let me know when it opens and I'll try my best to get there?"
"Please also help with hiring people inside, as long as you don't hire more than seven people."
"Okay." Zhou Xiaomei smiled helplessly, feeling that Ye Beiping seemed to have endless things to do.
I had only been walking over for a few minutes when I told her four things.
Ye Beiping smiled in response and then turned and left.
If it were someone else, he might have stayed for breakfast, but since Tang Xiaolong wasn't home, it wouldn't be appropriate for him to stay.
The mindset of some people in this era... well, we have to be wary of it.
I went downstairs, got in the car, and officially embarked on my journey back to Pingba Village.
He built the house to avoid the major event of 1982. He didn't plan to show his face then, because if he got arrested, he would be finished. Although he would be released around 1987 and clear his name, who would want to stay in there for several years if nothing happened?
Who knows whether the king who was arrested before was an innocent person caught in the crossfire of political struggle, or whether he really violated something?
Anyway, Ye Beiping didn't want to.
In order to live in a better place two years from now, it is necessary to stay in Pingba Village for a few years.
