Lu Wanqing hurriedly stepped forward and called out to Manager Chen.
Manager Chen was momentarily surprised, but he didn't have time to exchange pleasantries with her. He told her that her mother had fallen into a coma and needed to be taken to the hospital immediately.
But at this time, there were people all around, the ambulance needed to take a more seriously ill patient, and it was impossible to hail a taxi; you had to walk two kilometers to find one.
"Manager Chen, let me take a look. I know a little about traditional Chinese medicine," Lu Wanqing said quickly when she saw that he was sweating profusely.
At this age, it's easy to faint from fright, but it might not be a big deal.
Manager Chen put the old man down with some skepticism and decided to give Lu Wanqing two minutes.
Lu Wanqing quickly unbuttoned the old woman's collar, pinched her philtrum, took out her own water bottle, and fed her the spiritual spring water.
The old man quickly regained consciousness. He had been frantic because of the sudden fire next door and was afraid of getting burned. He was not seriously injured.
"Thank you so much." Manager Chen finally had time to speak to Lu Wanqing.
"Is your whole family here in the port city for tourism?"
Lu Wanqing then told him about Lin Ye's business trip.
"I happen to have some free time today, let me show you around!" Manager Chen said with a smile.
I met him on my first day in the port city, and he even saved my mother by chance. I should do my part as a host.
Lu Wanqing was worried that the elderly woman would be left unattended and wanted to decline, but Manager Chen said that he had brothers and that it would be fine to send the old lady to his brothers' place.
After settling his mother in, Manager Chen took Lu Wanqing and her family on a tour of the port city.
With the help of a local, the group ate and drank to their hearts' content, enjoying all the local delicacies and sights.
Finally, they arrived at the harbor, a place with an abundance of tall buildings.
“Mr. Lin is an architect, so he will definitely be interested in this place. The richest people in the entire city live here now, and you can see the harbor from the window.”
Manager Chen introduced it with considerable envy.
Although he has made some money in the past two years, it is nothing compared to the people here. He can still only live in a small pigeon coop of forty or fifty square meters.
However, compared to most people who only have a living space of 10 or 20 square meters, he is already very impressive.
"With the Hong Kong property market in a slump right now, haven't you thought about buying a new house?" Lu Wanqing asked.
She knew that a year later, the port city would experience a sharp rise in housing prices.
Manager Chen shook his head and smiled wryly, "To be honest, I have elderly parents to support, and the little money I've saved up is tied up in various things, so I can't save much at all. To be honest, I've only been able to make a name for myself in the industry thanks to your design talent."
The port city still values culture. University graduates can earn a good living as designers or lawyers, which allows them to live a middle-class life. To become wealthy, one needs to start a larger business.
As for Manager Chen, who doesn't have a high level of education, he can only rely on his own efforts to find an ordinary job. He was lucky enough to occasionally get a chance to work odd jobs at an entertainment company and gradually worked his way up to the position of costume manager.
"Don't say that, we're in a partnership. I would suggest you buy a house as soon as possible, because housing prices can't stay this low forever," Lu Wanqing said, pointing to the tall buildings in the distance.
Actually, the house price at that time was only around 2,000 yuan, which was already very cheap. However, there were no loan policies available yet, and the house had to be paid in full at once, so people dared not act rashly.
Manager Chen scratched the back of his head and grinned foolishly:
"Hehe, we'll see. I'm currently working on a deal, and if I make money, I'll consider buying one."
Then, pointing to a housing development not far from the harbor, he said:
“Look over there, that’s Poly Real Estate under construction. It’s said to be a villa area, with each house being 200 square meters and costing 40,000 to 50,000 yuan.”
Upon hearing the new word, Miaomiao climbed onto Lin Ye's shoulders and gazed into the distance.
"Mom, what's a villa?"
"A villa is similar to a courtyard house, but it usually has two floors," Lu Wanqing explained patiently.
"Then it's pretty much the same as Great-Grandma's house," Duoduo said thoughtfully.
"Yes, similar, but the layout will be a bit different, which involves the architectural design my father did. If you're interested, we can take a look."
Lu Wanqing smiled.
Grandma Han's house could be considered a villa, though the decorating style is a bit outdated.
Manager Chen quickly took over the conversation:
“Sure, although we’re not allowed to enter the construction site, there’s an overall planning map outside. The foreign designers designed and printed out the drawings on the computer in advance.”
Upon arriving at the perimeter of Poly Real Estate, a large, colorful picture was indeed displayed on a huge wall, showing both the overall view and close-up details, making it easy to understand at a glance.
Lin Ye was particularly shocked. He was still at the stage of drawing by hand when he was doing design, but this was clearly not a hand-drawn drawing.
"It's said that this was drawn using a computer. They have some specialized drawing software that can create it according to your settings. In short, it's very advanced."
Manager Chen saw Lin Ye staring intently at the diagram and began to explain.
Ququ has a new question: What is a computer?
Although Manager Chen had seen it, he couldn't describe it clearly in a short time.
Lu Wanqing had no choice but to start explaining again:
"A computer is a large box that looks like a television set. But when it is powered on, it can type, draw, and help complete some tasks."
As for watching videos and browsing the internet, they wouldn't understand those functions even if I explained them now.
Miaomiao, who had been riding on Lin Ye's head the whole time, really wanted to let go of her father's hand and applaud her mother. She knew so much.
