Chapter 125 Cold Human Relationships
The next day, I went to Youranju first and reported to my master what had happened in the past few days, such as meeting Director Chen and looking at the house.
The master drank his tea leisurely. After listening, he looked up at me and said, "Your brow is a little furrowed."
I immediately laughed and said, “I’ve been writing articles these past few days, but I can’t think of anything for a long time. I’ve locked it several times. I guess it’s a sequelae.”
He didn't say anything.
After a while, Ms. Tan called. She laughed for a while. I was saying "Hello, hello," and she kept laughing.
When I was about to hang up in anger, she said, "Oh, sorry, man, I was talking to someone and the phone was in my pocket. I guess it rubbed against it and it called automatically."
"oh……"
"Brother, look, not only do I miss you, but even my phone is thinking about you all the time."
I wasn't in the mood to joke with her and said, "I was just looking for you."
"Come over here quickly. I thought it was time for you to come over. Xiaolin said you looked at the house yesterday. If there's anything you're not satisfied with, point it out and make changes immediately."
I asked my master for leave and drove straight to Fengyan Pavilion.
When Xiaolin saw me in the "Golden Dot Decoration" office, he knocked on Mr. Tan's office door, then pushed it open and stuck half his head in: "Mr. Wan is here."
Ms. Tan opened the door and said with a smile, "I really think about you day and night, and you're so busy making money every day. I need someone to help collect the money. I'll help you carry the bag."
I smiled and sat down.
She handed me a cup of tea and asked, "Are you satisfied? If you are not satisfied, even a little bit, tell me and I will change it immediately."
“Very satisfied.”
"I can't eat or sleep well, just waiting for you to say this. If you say you are satisfied, I will immediately gain three pounds."
After that, she called Xiaolin in.
Xiao Lin picked up a bunch of keys and placed them on the table. He said, "I've put a mark on each key."
When I looked, I saw that there was indeed a small sticker on each of them, with labels such as "front door, room 1, room 2, room 3; complex 1, complex 2, complex 3" and so on.
Xiao Lin instructed: "After you move in, you must change the door lock immediately."
Xiao Lin finished speaking and left. Mr. Tan breathed a sigh of relief:
"We meticulously renovated your apartment and used it as a model home. We didn't make any money from you, but we earned a few promotional photos."
I felt bad. I smiled but didn't say anything.
Mr. Tan held his chest and said, "Brother, if I tell even a single lie, I will be struck by lightning."
I smiled and said, "Thank you, Mr. Tan, for being so serious and caring."
Mr. Tan's expression suddenly changed. "Oh, thank you for what? I just want you to promote me and advertise more. Besides, you're different from some people. I only cooperate with some people once, but I don't want to see them again for the second time."
"Picky?"
"It's okay to be picky. I like to be picky. It only makes our work better and better. It's mainly about this thing." She rotated three fingers and said with disdain. "Either they're talking about delaying payment for a month, or they're talking about paying the balance in two installments. I really want to curse at people who don't keep their word."
My heart tightened. Was she just complaining unintentionally, or was she saying it intentionally for me to hear?
There is absolutely no need to talk to her about delaying the balance payment.
And in order to agree with her opinion, I nodded involuntarily.
"Next week, when you have time, come to the company to settle your bills. Oh, and don't be stingy. Give Xiaolin a big red envelope. It doesn't matter if I don't make any money, but she put a lot of thought into it."
The young people in our company all laughed at Xiaolin, saying she was decorating for herself. Her requirements were so strict that even the craftsmen complained to me, saying they would quit if I didn't raise their prices. They couldn't stand Xiaolin's pickiness.
Speaking of Xiaolin, I was really touched and said, "She is the best employee here."
"Excellent? Everyone here is excellent. You're pretending to be a master, are you playing dumb or do you dislike our Xiao Lin? He graduated from a regular university."
My face turned red: "Mr. Tan, don't talk about personal matters during working hours."
Her face turned fierce: "Who said that?"
I pointed to a sign on the wall: "Your company's corporate culture."
"If you like it, you like it. If you don't like it, you don't like it. Don't try to change it and say nonsense."
I couldn't sit still any longer and had to find a way immediately. I handed her the 200,000 yuan and stood up to say goodbye. She also stood up.
"Thank you again, sister."
"Don't always think about making money. Some things need more thought."
I originally wanted to go to the next room to say goodbye to Xiaolin and thank her, but I didn't have the courage for a moment and went straight to the new house to try the lock.
When I opened the door, my god, it was even clean and spotless.
New home, my new home, my comfortable home.
I looked from the main floor to the duplex, and from the duplex to the main floor, back and forth three or four times, and then sat on the wooden floor in the living room to rest.
Do I like Xiaolin?
like.
Can I date Xiaolin?
I don't understand.
My master didn't say that his daughter Lan Xin must marry me, he didn't even hint at it.
But my master said that I must get married when I am thirty years old.
Can I tell Xiaolin to wait a year or two before dating, and wait four or five years before getting married?
Xiaolin will definitely ask why.
I said it was fate.
Would she believe it? Or would she be willing to wait that long?
My heart is in a mess.
Why dwell on these useless things? Right now, the first priority is to raise money. Let's go home quickly.
As soon as I entered the night talk room, my brother-in-law followed me in.
He closed the door and said, "I've saved some money, about 80,000 yuan. You can drive with me to get it later."
It was like timely help. My mood improved and I immediately made some tea.
"How much is left?" He handed me a cigarette.
I took it, picked up the lighter to light his, then lit it for myself, took a puff, and as if to spit out all the depression, I blew out the bubble, puffed up my cheeks, and blew a breath.
"With my brother-in-law's strong support, I'm only 60,000 or 70,000 short."
"Borrow from Brother Shi. She only has one daughter, who got married a long time ago. She has a high salary and makes a lot of money running a braised meat shop."
I slapped my forehead. That's right, it's far away, but it's right in front of me. Director Ming is only nice to me on the surface, but Brother Shi is the one who treats me truly well.
I said, “Try it.”
My brother-in-law said, "I'm sure he'll lend it to me." Then he left.
I made a phone call and asked Brother Shi to come over and have a chat.
Brother Shi came over and smiled: "Master Wan, what new ideas do you have?"
I didn't say anything polite and said with a smile, "I don't have any ideas, I just have one request: I want to borrow 70,000 yuan from you."
Brother Shi didn't say anything for a long time.
His face didn't turn red, but mine was completely red.
It was so embarrassing. I thought our relationship was so good that we didn't need any preparation, but when it came to borrowing money, it turned out that I lived at the head of the Yangtze River and he lived at the tail, and the water couldn't flow backwards.
"Don't mind if you have any difficulties. I'm just saying it casually."
"oh."
"Come, sit down and have a cup of tea."
"I won't drink tea. A distant relative has come over, and I'm preparing to cook."
After Shi Ge left, I felt like I was in an icy cold. Aside from my family and my master, this seemingly bustling city was actually icy cold.
