Chen Fan did not interfere too much in the plaza project in Yinzhou.
However, he had privately communicated with Zhou Wangchao and asked him to visit the three shopping malls currently under operation by Wanda.
늀 Follow this pattern.
Zhou Wang Chao was also a smart man. When Chen Fan said this, he immediately understood Mr. Chen's plan.
So he decisively took him to visit the three Wanda stores that had been opened, and then designed the drawings, revised them, and finally handed the final draft to Chen Fan.
After Chen Fan agreed, the project started to break ground.
On the construction site, various large machines are busy, and workers wearing safety helmets come and go.
The prototype of the main building has been formed, and the remaining part is the building construction which does not require much technical content.
Wearing a safety helmet and holding Su Ruchu's hand, Chen Fan asked about Zhou Dynasty after the tour.
“Can it be completed and opened for business before the end of the year?”
Zhou Wang Chao nodded: "No problem. If everything goes well, the project will be completed by January or February."
Chen Fan nodded: "Only if we open before the Spring Festival."
"Don't forget one more thing. Let's contact all the major merchants in advance and try to get them to move into the mall in advance. Tell them that the first batch of merchants to move in can enjoy various rental discounts. You can discuss the details of this later."
Coming out of the construction site, Su Ruochu sighed softly.
"I originally thought that the project here was just to build a large shopping mall, but I didn't expect the construction site to be so large, it's actually a full-scale business district."
Chen Fan said with a smile: "After completion, this place will become the commercial center of Ningbo."
"I'll bring you here when it opens."
"Okay. You guys can do your own things this afternoon, and we'll go shopping on our own. If nothing else, we'll go back tomorrow morning. Ruochu will also start school."
During lunch, Chen Fan asked if there were any fun places nearby.
Zhou Wang Chao is a workaholic and devotes all his energy to work, so he can only look to Xu Qiuci for such matters.
Xu Qiuci pondered and said, "There are not many scenic spots here. The famous places of interest include Dongqian Lake and Tiantong Zen Temple and Ashoka Temple, which are relatively famous."
Upon hearing this, Chen Fan understood Su Ruchu's choice.
Ever since they started dating, this girl basically visits every temple she comes across.
Sure enough, Su Ruochu asked curiously, "Which of these two temples is more famous?"
Xu Qiuci explained: "In fact, they are all very famous and have a long history. Tiantong Zen Temple is known as the Buddhist Kingdom of the Southeast. It is said to have been built during the Yongkang period of the Jin Dynasty."
"I've been to this temple. It's surrounded by emerald mountains, the temples are magnificent, the scale is grand, and the architecture is exquisite. It is one of the best in the country."
"As for the Ashoka Temple, although I have never been there, I have read about it. This temple was built during the Taikang period of the Western Jin Dynasty. It covers an area of 80,000 square meters and has more than 600 halls, pavilions, pavilions, etc. It is also large in scale and beautifully built."
"Yes, there is a stupa inside. The temple also preserves a large number of authentic works of art. There are stone tablets by Su Shi, plaques written by Emperor Gaozong of Song and Emperor Qianlong... It has a strong cultural atmosphere."
Xu Qiuci immediately became interested and suggested to Chen Fan, "Why don't we go to the Ashoka Temple?"
Chen Fan smiled and said, "I'll listen to you."
So in the afternoon, Chen Fan drove Zhou Wangchao's car straight to the Ashoka Temple.
The two started from the bottom of the mountain and climbed up step by step, visiting and playing at the same time.
At around five o'clock in the afternoon, the two of them wandered all the way to the Main Hall.
The light of the setting sun shines on the golden glazed tiles of the Main Hall, which is magnificent and adds a touch of mystery.
Looking at this scene, Su Ruchu was a little intoxicated.
After a while, I told Chen Fan.
"I want to go and worship Buddha and burn incense."
"Can I go with you?"
Su Ruochu shook his head.
Chen Fan nodded: "Okay then. I'll wait for you outside."
"Um."
Su Ruchu handed the climbing stick in his hand to Chen Fan, straightened his clothes, and walked into the main hall reverently.
Chen Fan was wandering alone in the courtyard.
There is a big Fusu tree planted in the corner of the courtyard. According to the sign on it, this tree is more than a thousand years old and has become a famous scenic spot as early as this temple.
The tree trunk is very thick and is surrounded by a wooden fence.
However, the drooping branches around were hung with red cloth and wooden signs.
The word "깊" is written all over it.
Chen Fan flipped through a few of them out of boredom and found that most of them were about praying for blessings and making wishes.
Some pray for their families, others pray for love, career, or college entrance exams...
If it were in his previous life, Chen Fan would have been a staunch atheist and would have naturally scoffed at all of this.
But this time, Chen Fan has become very devout to the temple.
Ask the monk next to you and you'll find out that the red cloth is NT$2 each, and the blessing plaque is NT$5 each. Pens and ink are also provided free of charge.
It’s not expensive.
Chen Fan paid for a prayer plaque from the monk, walked to the side, picked up a brush, dipped it in ink, and thought about it.
On one side of the wooden sign was written: May my parents be healthy and live long.
Then he wrote on the other side: Marry Su Ruchu as my wife, take her to see all the fireworks in the world and admire the stars.
After finishing writing, Chen Fan put down his brush, picked up the wooden plaque and blew on it gently. After the writing was dry, he raised his head, selected a location, and hung the prayer plaque on it.
At the same time, in the main hall, Su Ruochu, under the guidance of the great monk, completed the task of burning incense in a methodical manner.
After offering incense, Su Ruochu stepped back a few steps, slowly knelt on the cushion in front of the Buddha, and kowtowed three times respectfully.
He stood up, clasped his hands together, and silently made a wish to the Buddha.
After doing all this, Su Ruchu kowtowed three times respectfully again, then stood up and prepared to go out to meet Chen Fan.
When passing the entrance of the main hall, an old monk next to him suddenly spoke.
"Can the female donor ask for a fortune?"
Su Ruochu was curious: "Master, do people still draw lots for 그 in the temple?"
The old monk said slowly: "There are many troubles in this world. People come to temples to seek solutions and comfort their souls."
"Seeking fortune is just a psychological question. It's not about the means, but the process. If you believe it, it will come true. If you don't believe it, it won't come true."
After hearing the old monk's answer, Su Ruchu began to believe that he had real ability.
So I went up to ask the price of the lottery. Then I paid the money and followed the old man's instructions, picked up the lottery box and shook it gently.
Click.
A bamboo stick fell out of the stick tube and landed on the ground with a crisp sound.
Su Ruochu bent down, picked up the bamboo stick, looked at it, and then raised his hand to hand it to Lao Shang.
The old monk squinted his eyes and looked at the signature. Then he spoke slowly.
"What is the benefactor going to ask?"
Su Ruchu hesitated for a moment, then spoke softly.
"Marriage."
