Chapter 488 Construction Site
Once the things were moved, the room became empty, which made it more convenient for her to express herself.
Most parts of the house did not need to be changed. Xia Zhizhi hired workers to make some minor changes to the house according to her own preferences, and also cut down some flowers, plants and trees that she did not like.
After everything is ready, choose an auspicious day to move in.
That day, Xia Zhizhi was very generous. She said to Zhu Qingle early in the morning, "You haven't been home for a long time. I'll give you a day off. Go home."
After that, he gave Zhu Qingle an advance of half a month's salary and told him, "After your vacation, go to Repulse Bay tomorrow morning."
Zhu Qingle was very happy. To be honest, he hadn't seen his brother for almost a month. The two brothers had depended on each other for several years, so naturally he missed him.
After sending Zhu Qingle away, Xia Zhizhi and Aju checked out of the hotel and drove to Repulse Bay.
The iron fence and gate of the villa have been repainted and are completely dry. For privacy, a whole row of roses are planted in the flower bed outside the fence on the side facing the road. When these things grow up, they are thorny and lush, and they are quite good as a wall.
In other places, a lot of plants were added or reduced according to Xia Zhizhi's wishes.
Some were bought from the local market, and some were dug out from Xia Zhizhi's space and planted by Ah Ju while she worked overtime at night.
When I entered the house, I found that there were already quite a few pieces of furniture in the house. These were all things Xia Zhizhi had bought when she went to the market during this period and thought they looked nice.
For the rest of the stuff, she used the stock in her space.
While she was taking things out, Ah Ju was putting them back.
There is everything from furniture, curtains, carpets, paintings, ornaments, flower pots, and even pots and pans.
There is a large balcony outside the master bedroom on the second floor, which is the place with the best view in the whole house. This room is naturally Xia Zhizhi's bedroom.
Standing on the balcony and looking around, the first thing you see is a mountain covered with lush trees, with a few other people's houses hidden among the trees. Below is the beach of Repulse Bay, in front is the azure bay, in front is a green outlying island, and further ahead is the endless sea.
Xia Zhizhi likes this scenery very much.
There was a table on the balcony. Ah Ju laid a tablecloth for her and served her coffee and small cakes so that she could eat while enjoying the view.
Ah Ju went downstairs to continue cleaning other places.
The second floor belonged to Xia Zhizhi. Ah Ju arranged for her to occupy a small room next to hers, and also planned out two small guest rooms.
The rest of the space is enough for Xia Zhizhi to plan a cloakroom, collection room, study, exercise room and tea room.
The space downstairs is spacious enough for holding banquets in the hall, of course, the dining room and kitchen also take up a part of it, and a chess, card and tea room is also planned.
There are still many empty houses left, and there are also a few rooms in the side building behind the garage.
Such a big house is originally enough for a whole family to live in. Even if Xia Zhizhi occupies the entire second floor, there is only so much space on the first floor that even if a driver, a chef, a bodyguard and an assistant are all hired, it will still not be crowded.
After Ah Ju finished cleaning up downstairs, Xia Zhizhi took out her own clothes and frequently used jewelry.
Ah Ju worked tirelessly to put the things into the cloakroom.
She has quite a lot of clothes, some of which were bought in stores, and the other part was made for her by Ah Ju who worked overtime at night. In addition, the whole wall of shoes and bags is also very pleasing to the eye.
After everything was sorted out, Xia Zhizhi thought that if she found a few suitable helpers, she could invite those fake sisters to her home and show off her clothes, shoes and hats.
Xia Zhizhi doesn't feel suffocated by the lack of space and privacy when there are too many people at home.
In fact, people who feel this way have indeed had their space and privacy invaded by others.
Everyone she finds treats her like a father and serves her. Everything belongs to her and everyone is under her control. People live under her roof and depend on her. Everyone revolves around her, and the only one who is suffocated is others. She must be free.
She lay on the rocking chair, crossed her legs, and rocked slowly.
The phone downstairs rang.
Ah Ju went to answer it. Xia Zhizhi had cheated with her mental power and could hear it even from upstairs.
It was a call from the construction company, saying that the day after tomorrow was a good day and they were going to officially start construction. They asked her if the time was convenient and if she could go to the site to watch the groundbreaking ceremony.
People here are quite superstitious and have a strong sense of ritual. They like to set up a table, light offerings and burn incense. Even if the host doesn't want to go, they still have to make such arrangements.
Of course it would be best if the host goes, because the host generally does not go for nothing. In places where the culture of red envelopes is prevalent, one has to give small red envelopes to the people present, at least ten or eight yuan.
Xia Zhizhi would naturally go.
Xia Zhizhi was not a stingy person, so she asked Ah Ju to pack a large stack of red envelopes, each containing 28 yuan, which was as much as most people's daily wages.
I have been very busy recently. I finally arranged my accommodation and had a good rest at home for a day.
On the first day of work, Ah Ju drove the Mercedes-Benz 280 seL that he had just bought two days ago, took Xia Zhizhi with him, and went to the construction site of the Yuen Long factory.
That’s right, after Xia Zhizhi became rich, she still bought luxury cars.
This car has just been launched and there is only one in Hong Kong.
Eight-cylinder engine, displacement of 3.5 liters, 200 horsepower, acceleration time from rest to 100 km/h is 10 seconds, top speed is 200 km/h.
You have to know that it is 1969 now. It is already amazing to have such performance. Of course, the price is also amazing.
The main reason was that there was only one in Hong Kong and she was the first one to buy it. She felt that it was worthy of her status.
The opening ceremony started at 8 o'clock, and Xia Zhizhi arrived only 20 minutes early.
Because she was pushing for a deadline, the company recruited several teams of workers to work together.
The local custom attaches great importance to the groundbreaking ceremony. When she arrived, Chen Xuexing, the manager of the construction company, as well as the budgeter, designer, and even the engineering manager who was in charge of water and electricity in the later stage were also there.
The manager of the construction company gave Xia Zhizhi a brief introduction. When the time came, they lit incense, set off firecrackers, sang prayers, and the ceremony was completed.
Xia Zhizhi asked Ah Ju to give red envelopes to everyone present, and told everyone present: "The construction period is important, but we must also pay attention to safety during construction and not compromise on quality."
The manager of the construction company assured: "Don't worry, Miss Xia. Our company is well-known for its good reputation. If you have time, you are welcome to come to the construction site to supervise."
The manager pointed to the three or four people who came over with a basket of vegetables and said, "We know you are in a hurry, so we specially found some people to help cook. The workers eat well and have energy to work."
