Now that the country has just opened, not only is it difficult internally, but it is even more difficult outside, and Wu Tianhua's United Front Work Department is also an arduous task, especially at the beginning, many years of closure have made overseas Chinese very resistant to the country, and now every little achievement is enough for him to be happy for several days.

However, Chen Dahe is also powerless in this regard, or if he can do a good job in the affairs of the cultural center, he has already made a great contribution, and the two will no longer talk about this, but talk about something else.

Chen Dahe said with a smile, "Fifth brother, you are so busy, why don't you arrange someone to send it to me, or make a phone call, I can go over and get it myself, why do you have to make a special trip, and I am not afraid of being tired." ”

Wu Tianhua curled the corners of his mouth and said, "Of course, it's not worth it when I run for such a small matter, I came here for another matter." ”

Chen Dahe was stunned, "What?"

"Good thing," Wu Tianhua laughed, "Your house is ready, I'm here to take you to see it." ”

"Loaded?" Chen Dahe looked at him in surprise, "Why is it so fast?"

This set of houses is not better than the ones I bought later, just paint and clean it casually, it is to tear down the wall and break ground, and the yard is big, according to Chen Dahe's estimate, it will not be able to finish the work in a month, but I didn't expect Wu Tianhua to come over today and say that it is ready, this speed is really fast enough.

"Can you not be happy," Wu Tianhua said with a smile, "I mobilized three construction teams to work together, and even I borrowed a few craftsmen to restore the Forbidden City, so that you can live in it before the year." ”

"Thank you, thank you!" Chen Dahe smiled so hard that his eyes narrowed into a slit, "Then let's go and see it now?"

"Okay," Wu Tianhua said and got off the kang and put a batch of padded jackets on his body, "Let's go!"

Riding in the jeep driven by Wu Tianhua, the two came to No. 18 Xiwang Hutong again.

Chen Dahe got out of the car, he felt different from the last time he came to see, although he looked at a sense of history last time, it was inevitable that people felt a little dilapidated, and now after restoration, the sense of heaviness has not diminished at all, and the whole house seems to be radiant and reborn.

In the upside-down room next to the roadside, a long façade was opened in the wall, and a movable wooden door that could be slid was installed on it, and when it was pushed open on both sides, there was a garage that could accommodate three cars, and there were two rooms left next to it, which could accommodate both people and miscellaneous items.

Entering along the gate, the patterns on the shadow wall are bright and bright, echoing with the murals on the pillars under the eaves, which are rich and colorful.

Looking at the past room by room, the walls have been repainted, the tiles on the floor have all been renovated, and all the color plate tiles of the Buddha are paved, which looks beautiful and tidy. All the rooms are furnished, and the exquisite handmade mahogany furniture is like a work of art, placed on the tiles on the floor, as if it were a mahogany pavilion, the only difference is that it feels more like a home.

There is also a warm road in the invisible underground, so most of the rooms in this house do not have a fire kang, but a solid wood bed, only in the master bedroom of the third back house a fire kang, and the furniture in this yard also happens to be Western-style, and the fire kang is placed together without conflict, it seems that it is also designed by a master.

In the middle of the two rooms each has a side room has been converted into a multi-functional bathroom, in addition to the shower, the bath that can burn the fire also made Chen Dahe a little hot, he has long wanted to soak in a bathhouse, but he really doesn't want to soak in a pool with others, this is good, his own pool is casually soaked, well, it is a waste of water and firewood, but it's okay, there is money to spend casually.

Not only that, but there are also two toilets in each courtyard, one is for private use in the master bedroom, and the other is for public use outside, which Chen Dahe didn't expect, and they also made up for it, otherwise they would have to get the spittoon in and out in the future, which is really not very good-looking.

However, the two gardens are still more or less the same as before, and this time of year is really not suitable for planting, and it is necessary to wait until after the beginning of spring to transplant flowers and trees, and then it will be lush and green.

After turning back and forth, Chen Dahe felt very satisfied, and when he turned to the study, he found that there was already a phone on the desk.

Chen Dahe turned his head to look at Wu Tianhua, "Fifth brother, is this what Brother Jiang asked someone to pretend?"

"It's not him, but there is anyone else," Wu Tianhua said with a smile, "He thought that you would definitely live here more in the future, so he moved the phone over there, and the phone number remained the same." ”

"That's the best," Chen Dahe said with a smile, "but I'll have to ask him to install another one for me when I get back." ”

"Huh?" Wu Tianhua was stunned, "Why do you want so many calls?"

"That's right, the company in the United States sees that our artworks and Peking Opera troupe's performances are quite popular, so they plan to set up a branch or office here," Chen Dahe said, "Fifth brother, you are doing overseas Chinese united front work, do you know that we are now allowing it in this regard?"

Wu Tianhua was immediately overjoyed, "Of course it is allowed, this is a good thing, where are you going to set it up, do you want to make the opening ceremony a little grander, and then I will help you invite all the leaders in the city in this regard, and keep it to give you enough face!"

Chen Dahe waved his hand again and again, "No, no, let's keep a low profile, after all, the atmosphere hasn't completely turned around yet, and I don't want to be the target of public criticism." ”

Wu Tianhua heard this, and nodded regretfully, if it wasn't for Chen Dahe, he would have persuaded him to hold this opening ceremony, this is a rare opportunity for publicity, but since Chen Dahe is unwilling, then forget it.

"Is the office location decided?" Wu Tianhua asked again.

"Just choose one of the houses I bought," Chen Dahe said casually, "Anyway, it's empty, and let me earn a little money." ”

Wu Tianhua's eyes lit up, a little money is also money, not to mention that this rent must be paid in US dollars, so he said with a smile, "Don't be greedy for this little money, you are a rich man, and those are all houses, and there is nothing for office use by government units, and your large foreign-funded enterprises can use some price drops, so it is better to buy another set of office in a prosperous area." ”

Chen Dahe smiled at the corner of his mouth, tilted his head to look at him, "Fifth brother, how do I feel that you are digging a pit for me." ”

"Where is this digging pit," Wu Tianhua glared and said, "Fifth brother is for your consideration, if your company sees you looking for a house, maybe it will think that you are not doing a good job, if you get a beautiful office building to move in, most of them will give you a bonus, and then the rent is nothing." ”

"Yes," Chen Dahe raised his hands, "Then tell me what a prosperous area and what a beautiful office building." ”

Wu Tianhua laughed, and immediately took out two pictures from his briefcase and put them on the table, "Look at this, this building, in Dongdan, a nine-story office building, still has an elevator, and it is full of foreign-funded companies, especially large companies like yours with strength and capital are their most welcome customers,"

"There is also this building, in Xidan, the floor is higher, there are twelve floors, of course, it is also with an elevator, it is also for foreign-funded enterprises, these two are landmark buildings in the prosperous area, I said Dahe, don't you think that working in such a place is in line with the corporate image of your large company. ”
