Chapter 115: Returning Home (3)
(Thank you to the new alliance leader for the wind and rain in Zhongshan, and thank you for the support of the Golden Alliance Sentoyu, well, I already owe two more today, waiting...... )
The Hunan restaurant where you eat at noon is located in Tianzifang.
Tianzifang is one stop away from Xikang Street, and Cao Mo accompanied the four girls to walk directly over.
The Shikumen buildings here are more typical, and the adjacent Qingjietang is a branch of a canal to the Huangpu River excavated in the late Qing Dynasty. The old houses on both sides of Qingjietang were demolished and relocated a lot in the early years, and the remaining houses in the late Qing Dynasty and the early years of the Republic of China have now been clearly preserved.
Qingshan District has also invested a lot of money in the transformation of the surrounding streets and alleys, Cao Mo has not returned to China for three years, and suddenly found that the dilapidated Tianzifang, in addition to the newly paved antique stone street, has many businesses to invest in opening stores.
There are also two or three small hotels and B&Bs.
Today is the weekend, there are a lot of tourists, seeing this scene, Cao Mo thought to herself that it is no wonder that her sister wants to open a homestay here.
Cao Mo doesn't know what Xinhai's economic development has been in the past three years, and it is difficult to evaluate whether the B&B inn has development prospects, but one thing he knows is that if Jiaying really wants to open a B&B inn, he doesn't want to have time to study at all.
Jiaying also deliberately took everyone around to the house she had taken a fancy to before.
Different from the bustle of the outer street, this old house is located in the corner of Tianzifang, which is very quiet, and there are notices for rent and sale posted at the entrance of the courtyard.
The construction area is less than 300 square meters, there are eight rooms, the interior should be quite compact, the landlord said on the notice that it cost 300,000 yuan to renovate in 00 years, the price is 8 million, and the whole rent is 200,000 yuan per year.
This house is a long-term rental house, the cost is slightly higher, after all, there are few single rooms with a monthly rent of more than 2,000 on Xikang Street, and it may be appropriate to be a homestay inn, but there are too many thoughts to worry about, Cao Mo will not let Jiaying completely waste her studies in this matter.
Hunan restaurant is located in the street of Tianzifang, a group of people are really in the past, to the second floor to find a card seat by the back window to sit down, you can see the rippling Qingjietang River, the field of vision is quite broad, Qingjietang opposite is also quite charming in the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China buildings.
The Hunan restaurant is really very affordable, the amount of food for the girls is limited, and the five people ordered five dishes and one soup, which is only one hundred and fifty yuan roughly calculated.
Cao Mo remembered that he used to have dinner at the Lana Dere Hotel when he returned to Draculamo during this time, and he was so extravagant that he felt a little guilty.
However, after thinking about it carefully, every time I returned to the Lana Dere Hotel to eat, it seemed that he didn't pay for it, and I suddenly felt relieved.
chatting during the meal, Cao Mo learned that Yu Jing and Chen Chang both worked in Yinguang Plaza, a high-end department store in Xinhai, although they applied for administrative positions, but according to the rules of Yinguang Plaza, newcomers have to stand at the counter for half a year.
They will have to work at the counter until March next year before they can be transferred back to their regular positions.
Cheng Xi did not study for graduate school after graduation, and applied for the Hailian Commercial Bank, as a newcomer, he also had to intern at the counter for half a year - the branch where Cheng Xi interned was also in Yinguang Plaza;
The journey of more than 30 hours of transfer, although accompanied by Song Yuqing, was very pleasant all the way, but in the end, it was very exhausting to sit in economy class all the way.
Song Yuqing can still sleep a few times on his beautiful side, but Cao Mo's block is stuck in the narrow economy class seat, and he can only take a few naps along the way to deal with it.
Although Yu Jing and Cheng Xi were very curious about what kind of experience they would have working in Africa, and Cao Mo tried her best to cheer up and answer their questions, she was really a little unbearable after eating.
............

After eating at noon, Cao Mo went home to catch up on sleep, woke up at dusk, and saw Jiaying sitting at the head of his bed with an unhappy face, and asked curiously: "What, who made you unhappy again?"
"Sister Cheng Xi didn't think about leaving so early in the afternoon, didn't you feel it? Why did you return to China, and you still looked like you were ignoring others? Jia Ying asked angrily.
"Counting the transfer, I took a thirty-one hour flight, auntie, even if it is a crime, can you allow me to delay it for two days?" Cao Mo smiled bitterly.
At first sight, he is still excited, but he is not a scumbag, he just had a deep affection with Song Yuqing, and he broke up at the door of the house in the morning, and he made an appointment to meet in the company tomorrow, he will be courteous to Cheng Xi this afternoon?
Besides, she hasn't been in touch for more than three years, Cheng Xi should have someone she likes a long time ago, so Jiaying doesn't understand anything, and she is still wishful thinking.
"What about the old woman, she hasn't come back from playing cards yet?" Cao Mo asked differently.
"You stinky boy, don't say a word in advance when you return to China, you are looking at my old thing, I was so excited that I had a heart attack and died early!" As soon as Cao Mo's words fell, a black shadow smashed into his face, "Aren't you afraid of surprises and death?"
"Your old man's body is so tough, where can he die easily?" Cao Mo caught a pillow, and when she saw her grandmother walking in, her qi was as abundant as three years ago, and her voice was as loud as three years ago, so she knew that her old man had not suffered anything in the past three years.
"Tell me, why are you thinking about coming back for almost three years? You won't find a black chick and give birth to a bunch of black dolls in Africa! I can tell you, there are two kinds of people that the old woman dislikes the most, one is a racist and the other is a black man! If you dare to give birth to a bunch of black dolls outside, you don't want to go back to China in the future. Mrs. Cao admonished very violently.
Where did Cao Mo think that Mrs. Cao had learned so many fashionable words.
He did not return to China initially, mainly to save money.
Dongsheng gives overseas employees one month of home leave every year, if they do not enjoy home leave, Cao Mo can not only apply for overtime allowance for home leave, but also report the company's subsidized air ticket money - inside and outside is equivalent to more than 30,000 yuan of income.
When he gets involved in the gold mining of Ibogu, there will be no time for him.
If he hadn't thought about going back to China to register a company this time, he wouldn't have thought of returning to China if he needed to be on the scene in person.
However, if he knew that Jiaying already had this economic acumen, he could not have returned to China, and directly asked Jiaying to register a trading company, saving him this trip.
Of course, there is no need to mention this stubble now, just rent out all the rooms in your house, but Jiaying and the old woman go out to rent a small broken room, which is really not the same thing.
"By the way, I actually have to be able to make money in Africa, there is really no need to rent out my house to earn that difference - besides, my father is about to be released from prison," Cao Mo was embarrassed to ask his father when he would be released from prison, and said, "You don't have to wait until the end of the lease period, Jiaying, if you still have a house in hand, you will subsidize their rent for a month or half a month, and our family still has to live back here!"
"That bastard, let him go out and find a house to live in!" Old Mrs. Cao was angry at the mention of her eldest son, "There is no room for him here!"
"That's okay, I think he's upset, but grandma, you and Jiaying are going to move back in!" Cao Mo said.
"Jiaying, a little money fan, you persuade her yourself. I've worked hard for you all my life, and I don't want to live in Zhou Xiaojiao's small broken house for a long time - it's just such a small broken house, and I still have the face to ask us for 600 yuan a month. The old woman said.
"Grandma, if you pull your little foot grandma to play cards every month, the rent will already be won. Jiaying said.
"That's what I won with my ability, and I can't say that the rent she gave us is cheap - a dead old woman, she has so many houses in her hands, she can't take them away when she dies, and she doesn't say that she looks at us pitifully, let us live in a room for free. ”
Mrs. Cao muttered dissatisfiedly, and suddenly thought of one thing, and said to Cao Mo,
"By the way, Zhou Xiaojiao, the dead old lady, has a bad relationship with his son and daughter-in-law, just a granddaughter, who just came back to Xinhai from studying in the UK a few days ago, is not a few years older than you, and she is not ugly. But not to mention that his son and daughter-in-law are all company executives, this week the old lady with little feet has two demolition houses and a yard at the south entrance of the street, which is worth seven or eight million. The dead old lady stepped on her feet and closed her eyes and ascended to heaven, and these houses must have been left to her granddaughter...... For this matter, I haven't won much money from Zhou Xiaojiao by playing cards lately - when are you free to meet her granddaughter? You have a low education, but you look better than your father, and you will definitely be able to please Zhou Xiaojiao's granddaughter!"
"I haven't gotten jet lag yet, so you let me sleep a little longer. Cao Mo said with a big head.
"You are guilty of the two girls in the gatehouse, the character named Chen Chang is the same as your aunt, she looks beautiful, but you have the guilt to find her home - the one named Yu Jing has a really good personality, but her hometown is in the countryside of Hunan, and she said that there are three younger brothers and sisters who are in junior high school, and you will be responsible for their family after you find it, and you will be more guilty," Mrs. Cao stood at the head of the bed and said, "Don't think that people are beautiful, just beat other people's ideas!" Actually, I think Cheng Xi's girl is really good, she is beautiful, and she has a father who is the head of the authority and a mother who is the chairman, but the conditions are too good, you are not worthy ......of others!
Cao Mo directly pulled up the quilt to cover his head, and waited until Jiaying and Mrs. Cao went downstairs before he sat up and turned on the computer to read the email.
Song Yuqing left him a message on QQ, asking him if he had a domestic mobile phone card, and she had already contacted the administrative staff of the overseas department, but the overseas department could not contact him.
Cao Mo was not willing to buy a mobile phone before going abroad, so naturally he didn't have a domestic card, so he picked up the landline and dialed Song Yuqing's domestic mobile phone number: "Sister Yuqing, where are you now?"
"I'm at my parents' house, why haven't you applied for a domestic card yet?" Song Yuqing asked on the phone, not saying that she had been waiting all afternoon.
Originally, I made an appointment to find the business hall to apply for a card as soon as I arrived, but how did Cao Mo return to the house and encounter this kind of incident, and after lunch, people were really sleepy, so they went home first to make up for sleep.
Hearing Cao Mo tell the truth, Song Yuqing smiled and said: "You are really beautiful, you can live with two beautiful women when you return to China, and you can help introduce the object at home......"
"What's so good? The family is torn apart, I don't know what my sister has in mind, and now I want people to move out and vacate the house, and I have a headache," Cao Mo said with a headache, "I bought such a thing home, although it is not very valuable, and it will cost six or seven hundred thousand yuan to sell it back in China." I didn't plan to buy it, thinking about keeping it for myself, but now it's good, it's always unsafe to put this house full of unfamiliar tenants, and I don't want to go to the bank to rent a private safe for these things......"
Thinking of transferring part of the profits back to China, although the customs inspection was strict, Cao Mo also bought a batch of Kanem rubies before returning to China to prepare for a collection - this batch of Kanem rubies was taken in Kanem without using 300,000 yuan, thinking that he would have to go to the bank to rent a private safe, and he might also suffer from the white eyes of the bank staff, Cao Mo had a headache.
"Your sister is really amazing, she is really a high school student, does your family have the gene to do business?" Song Yuqing asked with great interest in Cao Mo's sister.
"I know that if I don't come back this time, she may rent a house in Tianzifang to build a homestay or an inn! At lunchtime, she specially pulled me over, Xiao Nizi is not very old, but her heart is bad! I pretended not to guess her mind at all, and ignored her. Cao Mo said.
"Ah, you also ate in Tianzifang at noon?" Song Yuqing said, "I also accompanied my parents and my brother to Tianzifang to eat Shengding chicken at noon - it's a pity that I didn't meet it, otherwise I would have seen what your sister looks like, it's so cute......"
Shengding Chicken is a local catering brand in Xinhai, Cao Mo passed by the door of Shengding Chicken at noon, but she didn't expect Song Yuqing and her parents to live six or seven kilometers away, but her family also went to Tianzifang to eat at noon.
Cao Mo and Song Yuqing made porridge on the phone, and heard that Song Yuqing was very interested in the old buildings in Xinhai, and said: "I definitely don't dare to care about my sister too tightly now, otherwise Xiao Nizi will rebel and may not even recognize me as an elder brother." Why don't I secretly buy the house my sister fancies, so she'll be out of luck? This house is rentable and saleable - I'll buy the house tomorrow, and will I be able to close it in a month?"
"You are hiding it from your family, so why did you buy that house?" Song Yuqing asked.
"Here you go. Cao Mo said.
"Bah, they all said that we are not allowed to pull our heads in the country. Song Yuqing said on the phone.
