After opening the door, the decoration plans provided by the developer were placed on the folding table in the sunken living room upon entry.
"Daughter-in-law, pick out whatever style you like," Zhou Yan picked up the decoration samples on the table, "If you don't understand clearly, there are already decorated model houses in the community."
Qin Ruoshu took the decoration samples, browsed them roughly, picked out one that seemed pleasing to the eye, and handed it to Zhou Yan: "What do you think of this?"
"That's it!" Zhou Yan took the sample and glanced at it, "Anyway, the decoration is finished. If you are not satisfied, we can make some adjustments ourselves. By the way, the scenery upstairs is nice..."
The rough-decorated house was leaking air everywhere. Although it had been initially painted, it was still in rough shape. Madam Zhou, after just walking around for a few minutes, became a little disinterested: "Old Zhou, the decoration plan I chose just now should be better."
OK?"
Zhou Yan chuckled: "Then it's settled?"
"Didn't you say that you can modify it if you are not satisfied in the future?"
Zhou Yan nodded, took out his mobile phone from his pocket, and called the account manager at the bank.
"Manager Yang, this is Zhou Yan. For the decoration in Wanhua, just press ZXWX03 for decoration."
"Okay, I'll contact the developer right away..."
Zhou Yan was about to hang up the phone, but the account manager on the other end seemed to have some questions: "That Mr. Zhou..."
Zhou Yan was a little surprised: "What's the matter?"
"Mr. Zhou, to tell you the truth, our bank has taken over about thirty villas from developers, and now there are still more than twenty that have not been sold..."
"Oh," Zhou Yan nodded thoughtfully, "No one has taken over the one next door, right?"
"No, no!" the account manager was a little overjoyed.
"Funds have been tight recently. If you are not in a hurry to recover the funds, you can set them aside for me first!"
"Thank you then..."
One phone call, and tens of millions of dollars were spent. Qin Ruoshu frowned and watched Zhou Yan hang up the phone, then quietly walked over: "Old Zhou, why did you buy so many houses? The two of us...
"
"It can be regarded as investment. The real estate market is bound to be hot." Zhou Yan reached out and pinched his girlfriend's tender face. "I think my father-in-law has a lot of spare money. You can suggest that I buy a few more buildings and use them as investment."
It’s an investment.”
Qin Ruoshu rolled his eyes and reached out to grab Zhou Yan's ears in retaliation: "What if we lose money?"
"Then I can only serve as a free chef for my father-in-law for the rest of my life!"
"You are beautiful!"
"Okay," Zhou Yan released his hand holding his girlfriend's tender face, "If there are no problems here, let's go see the next set!"
Of the next two flats, Qin Ruoshu's favorite is the one near the zoo. The greening in the community is good. The most important thing is that Mrs. Zhou likes cute little animals, such as the "black-bellied" red panda.
…
The decoration of these two houses has almost been completed. If Zhou Yan hadn't been cautious and chose a decoration style that was more in line with his girlfriend's personality during the selection process, the decoration of both houses would have to be reworked.
The eldest young lady is just a newbie in architecture and doesn’t understand decoration at all. Although she feels that there is something wrong with the decoration samples provided by the developer, she cannot tell what is wrong.
The eldest mistress struggled for a while, but couldn't think of a reason. She turned around and wanted to ask Zhou Yan for help, but found that the eldest young master's face was full of a joking smile...
"Why are you laughing? Don't laugh!"
"dare you laugh!"
After the car got back on the road, Qin Ruoshu suddenly remembered a question: her boyfriend seemed to be good at architecture.
"Lao Zhou, I always feel that there is something wrong with the decoration renderings that others gave me, but I can't tell what the problem is!" Qin Ruoshu looked at Zhou Yan pitifully, "Do you know the reason?"
"The renderings of the decoration company are all rendered, and there is a color difference from the actual effect." Zhou Yan smiled, "But the house has been decorated, so you feel a little awkward..."
"If you didn't tell me earlier..."
"Don't worry about it. We are not studying in the capital now, so there is no need to worry about decoration and furniture..." Zhou Yan chuckled, "The next few houses will test your architectural skills..."
Seeing the "high-end bungalows" in the capital, Qin Ruoshu was a little surprised and stared at Zhou Yan with a smile: "Old Zhou, are you being nostalgic?"
Young Master Zhou, who was now in the yard, looked up at the sky around him and smiled mysteriously: "When you passed the alley, didn't you find that there is more life in this area?"
"Yes..." Qin Ruoshu nodded, "This place seems to be more popular than Wanhua's..."
Compared with the first two courtyards, which can be inhabited after some repairs, the remaining three courtyards that have been "baptized by the flames of war" really make Qin Ruoshu a little confused: "These houses..."
"Don't you happen to be studying architecture? You're not in a hurry to live in these houses anyway, so just treat them as your graduation project?"
In response, Qin Ruoshu glared at Zhou Yan...
After the two of them looked at the house, they returned to the hotel. The sky was already filled with sunset. As soon as they entered the room and took a breath, Sister Wang called to ask for a treat.
"I'll treat you to dinner tonight at the Yuhuatai Restaurant near the Olympic Sports Center, on the southeast corner of Tuchenggou and Beijing-Tibet Expressway, hurry up..."
"Yuhuatai?" Qin Ruoshu, who was lying next to Zhou Yan's ear, frowned, "Old Zhou, Yuhuatai seems to be a time-honored brand, so it shouldn't be cheap, right?"
"It's rare that the eldest sister wants to exercise her rights as a landlord," Zhou Yan chuckled, "We have to cooperate. You don't know, the last few times I came to the capital, I let them grab me and work as a free chef several times!"
"Then you have to kill them once!" Qin Ruoshu smiled like a little fox who had stolen a chicken.
Within the Fourth Ring Road, there is a higher probability of being blocked during meal times. Even though Zhou Yan and Qin Ruoshu were stuck in time to go out, they were still blocked. When they arrived at Yuhuatai, it was almost past seven o'clock.
Yuhuatai specializes in Huaiyang cuisine, and the old chef in the store is said to have cooked state banquets.
Many of the dishes on the menu in the store have been made by Zhou Yan in Zhou Ji's shop, so the task of ordering was quietly passed on to Zhao Xu by Zhou Yan.
"How about four examples of lion heads first?"
Zhao Xu nodded with his companions and continued to "increase the price": "Dry-roasted yellow croaker, emerald shrimps, three delicacies gluten...and a hot and sour soup, four dishes and one soup, what do you think?"
Zhao Xu turned around and found that the other three people were all staring at him with smiles, a little confused: "What's wrong?"
"nothing!"
The first thing to go up is the lion head.
Both men need to drive, so the "landlord" Zhao Xu can only drink tea instead of wine: "Zhou Yan, Xiao Qin, your hospitality is not good, please bear with me..."
"Brother Xu, there's no need to be so polite!"
Zhou Yan picked up a small spoon, shoveled off a small piece of the lion's head in the cup, and put it into his mouth...
good!
Although the cooking time is a bit long due to the need to prepare in advance, the taste is still quite good.
Picking up the spoon and just about to take a second bite, Qin Ruoshu pushed Zhou Yan gently and whispered: "Old Zhou, why do I feel a little worse than the ones you made during the summer vacation?"
"Shh..." Zhou Yan made a silent gesture.
"By the way, Zhou Yan, where are you going to play tomorrow? If there's nothing else, let's go to Panjiayuan to pick up what we missed?"
"Ding……"
The familiar system prompt sounded, which made Zhou Yan feel confused...
After returning to the hotel in the evening, he suppressed his desire and put his girlfriend to sleep while she was out of the bath. Zhou Yan lay back on his bed, clicked on the system, and diverted his mind...
