Chapter 168: Renovating the apartment to store the boxes...
Chapter 168
Lin Mujin arrived at the trust store early, fearing that people would get off work.
The workday here usually ends between five and six o'clock.
Except for some special units, everyone gets off work on time, and there is no such thing as overtime.
The workers at that time had low wages but a high sense of happiness, unlike the "oxen and horses" of later generations, many of whom were in a state of near death.
"Hello, has the client arrived?"
The staff was delighted to see Lin Mujin arrive. "He's here, looking at his furniture in the warehouse. He said it won't be cheap, though."
If he hadn't threatened, and if he hadn't come to the leadership, and asked him to take all the furniture back, the old man might not have come.
Lin Mujin said nothing, "Then I'll go meet him."
The staff member spoke to his colleague and took her there.
The staff introduced the two people, and Lin Mujin handed over a pack of cigarettes, "I want to talk to the old man alone."
The staff member put the cigarette in his pocket and happily walked away to smoke.
"Hello, old man. You can call me Xiaolin. I really like your set of Huanghuali furniture and wanted to get to know the owner of it."
The old man was indeed quite unique. "I don't even know you, why are you looking for me?"
Lin Mujin smiled and said, "Of course I want to trade on the spot, so you can get the money right away."
The old man finally changed his attitude. "Are you really buying it? All of it?"
Lin Mujin asked, "Why, are you reluctant to let go again?"
The old man snorted and said arrogantly, "Why can't I bear to part with it? Sell it!"
Lin Mujin walked towards the staff and said, "Please give me a ticket. I've bought it, but it's too late today and I can't take it away. I'll find a car tomorrow and come to take it away the day after tomorrow at the latest. Is that okay? If not, I'll buy it the day after tomorrow."
The staff member immediately said, "Of course it can be done. We have people watching over the warehouse at night, and the Public Security Bureau is not far away. We guarantee that no thieves will dare to try it."
Lin Mujin didn't think she would be so unlucky. The set of furniture had been in the warehouse for so long without any problem, but it was lost as soon as she bought it.
If it's such a coincidence, it's not a coincidence.
But to be safe, "I'd better tell your boss and only buy it after he agrees."
The staff member immediately trotted out, "I'll go now."
Lin Mujin said to the old man again, "Grandpa, do you have any other such fine furniture around you?"
The old man was a little angry, "Having my set of furniture is not enough!"
Lin Mujin smiled and said, "I also want a set of mahogany and rosewood."
The old man muttered, "What good is redwood..."
Lin Mujin continued, "I don't want you to help me in vain. Can I give you three points?"
The old man was very suspicious, "How come you are so rich?"
Lin Mujin spoke frankly, "I'm from Hong Kong, I opened a shop here, and I particularly like these."
The old man looked her up and down, "You're not living a simple life, are you?"
Lin Mujin took out her ID card and said, "You can see that I am a pure Chinese and will be Chinese in the future."
The old man looked carefully and said, "Really? Only you Hong Kong people are rich. You only want furniture?"
Lin Mujin became interested, "Are there any other good things?"
The old man was a little proud, "I used to live in a palace."
After that, he gave a detailed address and asked Lin Mujin to find him.
Lin Mujin confirmed, "Can I come to see you tomorrow morning?"
The old man agreed.
At this time, the staff member and his leader came over.
Under the witness of three parties, Lin Mujin paid the money and received a receipt.
The receipt stated that the trust store would help store the furniture until the afternoon of the next day and ensure its safety.
Lin Mujin felt relieved after getting the note. If she really lost it, she could ask the trust store for compensation.
"Old man, I'll take you there."
Lin Mujin sent the old man away and asked the staff to take good care of her furniture.
Yes! Her furniture.
Then we got in the car and asked Master Yang to go back to Liulichang and buy dinner on the way.
This time it's meatloaf and soda, doornail meatloaf.
Naturally, Master Yang also has a share.
I ran around a lot today, and people also helped me buy things and carry boxes, so I put in a lot of effort.
"Master Qin, why haven't you gotten off work yet?" Lin Mujin was a little surprised to see that Master Qin was also a little surprised.
The next reaction was that she bought a lot of meat patties, enough for one more person.
Master Qin smiled and said, "I'll lend a hand."
Lin Mujin took out the meat pie and said, "Let's eat it first. Once we're full, we'll have more energy to move."
Master Qin waved his hand and said no, "I'm going home to eat."
Lin Mujin stuffed it in directly, "The emperor is not hungry yet, so he sent soldiers."
While eating, everyone discussed how to transport it back.
Lin Mujin must follow the car. She has to go back and change the room into a suite so that she can fit all these boxes.
If only Cousin Lin was with the car, the three of them would not be able to lift the mahogany box.
Finally, Master Qin said he could leave later so that the young man could catch the train and deliver the big mahogany box.
Lin Mujin expressed her gratitude again and again.
When everyone had almost finished eating, Lin Mujin came over and asked, "Master Qin, can you take a day off tomorrow?"
Master Qin misunderstood, "You don't need to ask for leave to buy a big bottle."
Lin Mujin asked him to step aside again and told him about the agreement with the old man. "So I want you to help me with this."
Master Qin thought for a moment and agreed, "Okay."
Lin Mujin was very happy. As expected, she didn't care about money, but she couldn't care less about the future of her grandchildren. "Then I'll pick you up at 8 o'clock tomorrow."
Master Qin thought for a moment and said, "Don't come to Moxuan Pavilion. Let's go to the intersection of Lvliu Hutong."
Lin Mujin doesn’t know where she is, but Master Yang definitely knows.
Today’s taxi drivers are definitely living maps.
After eating, the young man went to call another person, and Master Yang also got out of the car to help and put the big mahogany box into the car.
Lin Mujin sat in the passenger seat, while cousin Lin and the young man had to squeeze into the big mahogany box.
Fortunately, the four-wheeled car was fast enough and we arrived at the Yanjing Hotel in a short while.
Lin Mujin got off the car first and changed rooms in the lobby. The process went smoothly and she even asked the lobby manager to help find someone to move the boxes.
There was a large inland freight elevator, and the large mahogany box entered the suite smoothly.
Lin Mujin gave the young man two copies of "The Four Noble Truths", but did not tell him that they were written by her. She just said that she brought them from Hong Kong and the other party liked them very much.
She did not participate in the next three trips. With the help of cousin Lin, Master Yang and the hotel staff, all the boxes were safely put into the suite.
Lin Mujin randomly checked two of them and found that the porcelain inside was packed very tightly and there was no damage at all.
"Brother, don't go anywhere tomorrow. Just stay in the room and watch over the box."
Lin Mujin told him about her purchase of a set of pearwood furniture and the agreement she had made with the old man. She said excitedly, "Let's see if we can dig up some more treasures tomorrow."
