Suddenly, someone put a hat on her head. Turning back, she saw Lin Jiayu holding a bun, chewing on it while saying, "It's dirty inside. Come out first. Come back in when it's ready."
"The progress is much faster than I expected," Cheng Maixiang nodded and smiled. Suddenly remembering something, she asked hurriedly, "Does the construction team my brother-in-law hired pay the same wages as the one you hired?"
The construction team that Lin Jiayu hired had agreed in advance that they would not be responsible for the materials, but only for the manpower. Each person would be paid five dollars a day, and one lunch would be provided. This was already a very good treatment, so of course the construction team agreed without hesitation.
As for the other family, Cheng Maixiang didn't know whether they had to follow the same standards as this one. She had wanted to discuss this matter with Lin Jiayu since morning, but she had been busy and only had the chance to ask now.
Lin Jiayu smiled and said, "I just asked him secretly, and he told me not to get involved. The construction team he hired has a lot to do with his family. This time they're just here to help, so I'll just provide a meal."
Cheng Maixiang suddenly remembered that the period novel mentioned that Wei Lingcheng got involved in the real estate industry after the opening up, and later occupied an important position in the real estate industry in the provincial capital and Beijing.
Now it seems that Wei Lingcheng has obviously been recruiting talents and planning industries. It is no wonder that he has been able to build such a large empire in the real estate industry since he took action so early.
Cheng Maixiang looked at Wei Lingcheng and saw him chatting happily with the workers from the construction team that Lin Jiayu had hired. She turned to Lin Jiayu and said, "It seems that the construction team you hired is quite capable. Your brother-in-law is starting to have his eyes on them. Do you think he will bring them under his wing?"
"I think he really does mean that," Lin Jiayu smiled faintly. "I used to think he was just a kid from an aristocratic family, relying on his family background to call the shots in the provincial capital. It seems I haven't really understood him well. He's no ordinary person."
He is indeed not an ordinary person. How many big bosses can humble themselves and do these tiring and dirty jobs? Even if he is helping his brother-in-law, he is just doing it for show. Anyway, he has helped to find someone, and it is free.
Wei Lingcheng's actions must have left a deep impression on the other party. It should not be difficult for him to recruit this group of people in the future.
Cheng Maixiang looked at the room and said to Lin Jiayu, "I originally estimated that it would take at least half a month to complete the renovation. Judging from the current progress, a week may be enough."
Lin Jiayu: "Then all your plans will have to be moved forward by a week."
That's right, it's early April now. Cheng Maixiang's original plan was to complete the renovation by mid-April and then let the house air out for half a month. Although there is basically no formaldehyde hazard in paints and coatings of this era, the smell is still unpleasant.
In this way, it is basically May, and the school will be on holiday for the May Day holiday. Cheng Maixiang plans to use these days to go home and bring all the clothes that the garment factory has prepared for the opening of her clothing store. The clothing store will officially open after the holiday.
Cheng Maixiang thought about it and shook her head. "Let's stick to the scheduled date. I originally thought this plan was a bit hasty. An extra week to prepare will be much better."
"After the renovation is finished, I plan to take you to the Wei family. This will both thank him for his help and also let us know how Big Sister and Yingying are doing in the Wei family."
It should be.
Although Wei Lingcheng had helped Cheng Maixiang before because the Cheng family took care of Yingying, this time he was helping out entirely because Lin Jiayu was a relative, so it was reasonable for him to go and visit.
Cheng Maixiang glanced around the room casually again, and suddenly saw a strange chair in the corner. It was made entirely of the wooden boards she saw in the morning. She thought this was the sofa that Lin Jiayu made for him.
The sofa was still just a prototype, the back was still empty and one side at the bottom was not nailed on. Cheng Maixiang walked around it curiously.
"Once the boards are nailed down, I'll cut up this big piece of foam and glue it to the seat and backrest, then sew the whole thing shut with fabric."
"Yeah." Cheng Maixiang nodded vigorously. She planned to choose a nice piece of fabric so that she could make two beautiful sofas.
The workers in the construction team had no concept of lunch break. After lunch, they took a half-hour break and then got back to work again. They were busy until five in the afternoon, when it was time to get off work.
Wei Lingcheng and Lin Qingwan declined Cheng Maixiang and Lin Jiayu's invitation to stay for dinner and left by car. Yingying has to go to school tomorrow, and Wei Lingcheng has also hired a piano teacher for Yingying, and she will have two hours of piano lessons every day.
After a busy day, Cheng Maixiang and Lin Jiayu were both very tired. They were too lazy to cook alone, so they just heated up the meat buns left over from the morning, ate, washed up, and went to bed.
The next day, before dawn, Cheng Maixiang got up and started cooking. She had already made plans. Since she had to go to school these few days and couldn't help at home, she would prepare lunch in the morning before going to school. When Lin Qingwan came, she could just heat it up and give it to the workers.
Every day after class at noon, she rushed home to help Lin Qingwan serve food to the workers. After school in the afternoon, she was busy going to the vegetable market to buy vegetables and meat. After all, there were more than a dozen people eating together, and the consumption was not small.
After a busy week, when Cheng Maixiang got home from school on Saturday, the workers had packed up everything, checked out and left, and she finally saw the newly decorated house.
The doors of the entire room are sliding, the walls are all painted light pink, the floor is covered with off-white floor tiles, and the counters and fitting rooms are of the same color. The whole room exudes an indescribable softness and brightness.
