Shi Qi agreed to everything.
After showing the two people the location, Shi Qi took the documents to the neighborhood committee to sign the formalities.
The storefront decoration requires changes to water and electricity.
It must be reported to the neighborhood committee. After the report is filed, a professional plumber will check it and if he finds no problems, then the individual is allowed to start the work.
The neighborhood committee is mostly staffed by elderly ladies, who are very happy to see a pretty girl coming to handle paperwork.
After hearing that she was a military wife, everyone was extremely enthusiastic.
She quickly took the plumber to her store to inspect the situation and readily signed the documents allowing her to start work.
At the end, he kindly asked her if she needed workers to help her build a toilet.
I didn't expect it to be so convenient.
Shi Qi was eager to do so.
After thanking her with a smile, I followed the aunt to look at the brick and mud materials.
Bai Xiaohua and Jiang Ling stayed with Shi Qi the whole time. They admired her very much as they saw how she interacted with the strange aunt with ease and grace, and how she talked about good things with just a few words.
After a busy day, we arranged the workers for tomorrow's wall demolition and the procedures for slag removal, and it was not even two o'clock in the afternoon.
Holding the renovation certificate given by the aunt from the neighborhood committee, Shi Qi couldn't help but sigh that it is easier to get things done if you have a certain status.
Regardless of the era, military families receive preferential treatment.
She couldn't help but feel proud.
"Sister Shi, you've done so many things in one go?"
Bai Xiaohua stared at the paper with a red seal in her hand, feeling dizzy.
Just now, she was so busy following Shi Qi running in and out that she didn't have time to pay attention to anything else.
How come everything is done once you stop?
Jiang Ling also felt incredible.
She thought that decorating the storefront and preparing for it would definitely take several days.
Unexpectedly, Shi Qi acted decisively.
The workers, materials and time were all decided in half a day.
Just wait until tomorrow morning for the workers to arrive and start work.
Shi Qi put away the renovation certificate, looked at the two people's silly expressions, and laughed out loud:
"Yes. It's all arranged.
My shop will be open for business in seven or eight days at most."
It takes half a day to pay to rent a storefront. Shi Qi is short of money, so he naturally urges things to be done quickly.
After the workers knock down the walls tomorrow and remove the renovation debris, we can start rebuilding the toilet and lounge the day after tomorrow.
Thinking of the clean tiles in the store, Shi Qi went to the market with Bai Xiaohua and Jiang Ling and bought dozens of square meters of soft materials.
Tomorrow when I knock down the wall there is a lot of dust and the stones are heavy. If they fall down and scratch the floor tiles, it will be troublesome.
Use this soft material on the ground to fully protect the tiles, and you don't have to worry about other problems.
The three of them carried the soft material back to the storefront and worked hard for an hour or two before they finished paving the entire floor.
Bai Xiaohua was used to staying at home, and suddenly doing these things made him so tired that his whole body ached and he couldn't even straighten his back.
Jiang Ling was covered in sweat, but she was used to farm work and was much more adaptable than Bai Xiaohua.
Shi Qi felt embarrassed and, seeing that no one had eaten lunch yet, let the two of them rest in front of the store while he went out to buy food.
Walking out of the store, Shiqi saw that the restaurant next door was closed.
Unfortunately, Shiqi had to take a detour to another street to buy food.
"I don't understand, I don't understand. We don't understand what you're saying. Go away and don't block my business..."
Shi Qi found a restaurant and ordered three boxed lunches. As he lowered his head to get the money, he heard a man's impatient voice coming from the opposite corner of the street.
Then Shiqi heard a string of fluent English:
"Oh God! Someone please help me. I'm lost!
Lieutenant General Zheng and the others will go crazy if they can’t find me!
Why can’t they understand me? I can’t speak Chinese!
Here, Shiqi heard someone speaking English for the first time. He was surprised and immediately looked up.
Across the street.
A blond, blue-eyed man was frantically holding his head in his hands, his face full of despair, and frantically looking for someone to ask for directions.
Shi Qi saw him stop a grown man to ask for directions, but when the man heard he spoke English, he was disgusted and chased him away.
Ordinary people have a low acceptance of foreigners. He was so rash in stopping people and couldn't speak Chinese, which had no effect other than scaring people.
Passersby around him saw him acting crazy and stopping everyone he saw. They all thought he was mentally ill and stayed away from him.
“This is bad.
If we can’t find Lieutenant General Zheng, Commander Peng will die!
When I get back, the teacher will kill me."
The man was so anxious that his scalp was almost torn off.
If he had known this place was so big, he should have brought the translator along.
If he delays things, he will be punished even if he dies.
Shi Qi heard what he shouted, turned around and walked across the street.
"Hello. Can I help you?"
Just when Andre was about to cry, a clear female voice came from behind him.
The authentic British accent flowed fluently from her mouth, making Andre's eyes light up, as if he saw a savior.
"Wow, you can speak English?"
Grabbing Shiqi's arm, Andrei was so excited that he almost cried:
"Please help me, I've lost my friends.
I have to find them immediately.
I have someone waiting for surgery.”
He had just come out of the toilet and was looking at the same street, but he took the wrong exit.
When he realized he had taken the wrong road, he wanted to go back to look for the person, but he kept going around in circles and couldn't find anyone.
Shiqi's arm ached, and he quickly agreed:
"Don't worry, tell me what landmark buildings are around where you got lost.
Is there anyone waiting for you there?"
Shi Qi kept a cool head, calming him down while determining the key points.
"I have no idea.
My first time here.
Look, they all look the same!
I was just looking for a place to use the restroom, but once I went out, I took a wrong turn and couldn't find my way back.
