Chapter Eighty-Four: Loser
Chen Xiang and his wife walked into the house that already belonged to them. At this point, they can take a closer look, and no one will bother them anyway, if they have time.
The first thing that attracted them was the solid wood doors of the various rooms.
Nothing else, the glittering lock, they took a closer look. Imitation European-style simple twist handle door lock, made of a whole piece of high-grade stainless steel material, without the use of complex patterns, is a simple geometric shape. Not only is it beautiful, but it also looks very thick, and the surface is bright enough to be a mirror.
"No wonder your eyes flashed so much just now," Chen Xiang said to himself.
He twisted the lock to look inside, and it was a boxy room, bare. He didn't go in.
The second room is no different, except that the size and orientation are different.
The third room in the innermost part is different, with a separate bathroom. The two of them pressed the switch on the exterior wall and entered, and were stunned by the lavish decorations inside.
"It's too luxurious, it's too beautiful......" Chen Xiang's wife was already incoherent, just repeating those few words. In her simple and simple heart, there are no other words to describe it.
As soon as you enter the door, there is a dresser. The two of them were reflected in the large vanity mirror on the wall. Chen Xiang saw the two of them, just like two hillbillies who had entered the Grand View Garden, looking stupid. He couldn't help but laugh. Anyway, it's your own home, and it's not someone else's house to visit, so there's no need to put it on like this.
So he reversed his mind and looked at it carefully.
There is a modular cloakroom inside, and dry and wet are separated. After the designer's visual design, the bathroom, which is not large, immediately appears to be wide.
The main sight of the bathroom is the bidet toilet, the freestanding glass shower and the vanity, which is made of granite. Even the blind can see that they are extraordinary.
The bidet toilet is made of top-quality bone china, and the surface shimmers with a white jade texture. Not to mention its simple and modern styling style, the material alone is not something that ordinary people can enjoy.
The independent glass shower room with its ultra-modern styling style gives them the feeling of stepping into a future life. Even the stainless steel shower inside can only look ordinary.
The whole granite countertop is polished enough to be used as a mirror. With an area of one meter by thirty, how much stone does it have to be cut with? Chen Xiang felt that it was too wasteful when he thought about it roughly. The washbasin inlaid in the middle is also made of the same bone china, needless to say, the price must not be low.
When he arrived in the kitchen, when Chen Xiang saw the kitchen countertops of larger length and width, he had nothing to say in his heart.
Even the beautifully shaped kitchen cabinets didn't interest him. In fact, he didn't know that marble countertops were not natural, but synthetic.
Back in the living room, he saw his wife constantly pushing and pulling the floor-to-ceiling glass sliding door. He walked over to her and asked, "Wife, what are you doing?"
"Husband, look at it, it's amazing!" replied his wife, who gave him a demonstration by pushing the door with her hand.
Chen Xiang didn't care about it at first, but after watching it a few times, he noticed the difference. It turned out that Shen Danqing remembered the side sliding door of the commercial vehicle, and used the same principle to apply it to the design of his company's thin steel doors and windows. A curved track is used to pull the door open. The entire floor-to-ceiling doors and windows become a horizontal plane. Coupled with the fine workmanship and design, the entire sliding door is tightly fitted, as if it were a natural whole. It is different from aluminum alloy slide doors and windows, using precision bearings, sliding is very labor-saving, only one finger is gently pushed and pulled. Because it is made of thin steel, it is designed to be particularly wide, with a width of nearly 20 cm, which is particularly magnificent. The exterior is baked using the piano lacquer process, which is a unique burgundy metallic lacquer. It shimmers with a characteristic metallic lacquer texture. The whole floor-to-ceiling window looks particularly high-end luxury.
The balcony is also designed with the same floor-to-ceiling sliding windows, but with a 50-centimeter-high guardrail, which is designed by the designer to prevent children. In this way, when the weather is good, the floor-to-ceiling windows can be opened, so that the cool breeze from outside can blow into the living room without hindrance, so that people and nature can be perfectly integrated.
"Wife, are you satisfied?" Chen Xiang said to his wife, who was still carefully observing everywhere.
"Okay, it's good, isn't it too expensive!Husband, can we rural people really live in such a good house?"
Although Chen Xiang also knew that it was too expensive, in front of his wife, he didn't want to lose face as a husband. Since the company is willing to let us settle the account, it means that we will be able to repay it in the future." You just have to stay in peace. ”
After he said these face-saving words, he said to his wife again: "Have you seen enough? Let's go down and buy furniture, electrical appliances, and daily necessities! It's better to stay here tonight, otherwise you'll have to stay in a hotel." ”
"I haven't seen enough, but you're right. Let's go down and buy something!" his wife was awakened by his words and said in agreement.
When they arrived at the huge shopping shed in the community square, they were immediately dazzled by the dazzling array of goods inside. Chen Xiang is a very assertive person, he didn't choose it at all, and went directly to the furniture shed and said to the furniture guide: "Hello comrade! Please help me choose the cheapest set of furniture and send it to Room 1702 in Building 35." ”
"Okay, we'll send it to you shortly. The shopper immediately replied politely.
He is the same for household appliances and daily necessities, he knows that there is no cheap commodity in the company, and the quality does not have to be selected at all, with his economic conditions, it is right to choose only the cheapest.
By this time, he was already a lot of lice and was not afraid of itching. Anyway, he didn't want him to take the money immediately, so he simply bought it all. No matter how much debt they owe, they should pay it off slowly! At least they will live a life that no one in the city can reach.
The two of them went to the supermarket by the square to buy some daily necessities and daily necessities such as mops, brooms, etc., and returned to their new homes to wait for the delivery to their homes. It didn't take long to wait, and the deliveries came to the door intermittently. The two of them helped with the decoration, and some things still had to be done by themselves, such as bed sheets, curtains, duvet covers, etc.
I was busy for several hours, and I didn't even bother to eat lunch before I set up my home. They were both paralyzed on the fabric sofa in the living room panting, tired and happy.
After resting for more than ten minutes, Chen Xiang noticed that there was a missing TV on the TV cabinet in the living room, and there seemed to be a refrigerator and a washing machine. So he said to his wife: "Wife, we still have to go out to buy refrigerators, washing machines, and televisions, which the company doesn't have, so we can go out and buy them." ”
"What are you buying all of that for? Haven't we all done this before? It's been so much money spent today, we don't know when we'll have to pay it back. "I heard that I still have to spend money to buy things, but his wife is unwilling.
"You know what! These things are available in other people's homes, but don't we have them in our family? ”
Chen Xiang couldn't help but teach his wife a few words.
"Okay, okay! Even if you still slap your swollen face and call yourself fat, others don't know that you owe a lot of money!" his wife also lost her temper and said a few words to him.
But in the end, his wife listened to him, and the two locked the door and went out to buy something. When they arrived at the security booth at the entrance of the community, Chen Xiang didn't forget to take the passes of the two of them.
Rich and easy to do, they went to the city department store and bought three major appliances: televisions, washing machines, electromechanical refrigerators, and refrigerators. The mall was also responsible for the installation, keeping up with international trends. The service attitude of department stores in the mainland is completely different, and in the department stores in the mainland, customers have to beg them to buy things, and if they want to give them away, don't even dream about it.
They went back to the store by the way, took their personal luggage, and rushed back to their new home non-stop, waiting for the delivery staff from the department store to come to the door.
The staff community of Changsheng Investment Group is also named "Splendid Home". At five o'clock in the afternoon, the delivery man of the city department store drove a small truck to the entrance of the community, and they drove straight to the gate, and were blocked at the automatic barricade.
The security guard standing guard at the gate shouted at them, "What the hell, don't you see that you want to register! ”
"We are delivering the goods, and the residents of your community asked us to deliver them. The driver replied confidently to the security guard.
"I know that you are delivering goods, so I asked you to register, otherwise I won't let you in. "The security guards are still very aggressive.
They had no choice but to get out of the car and register. One thing is good, in the GD of more than 90 years, people must bring their ID cards and temporary residence permits when they go out. So they all registered.
After they were all registered, the security guard let them go, and told them: "Turn right when you enter the community, turn left at the second intersection, and turn right again when you find Building 35." ”
The splendid community of more than 20,000 households is really big, and if there is no security guidance, they may not find it for half a day. Even with the guidance of the security guards, they drove for nearly ten minutes to find it.
There is an access control system in the lobby below the unit room, and after some trouble, I talked to Chen Xiang upstairs, Chen Xiang opened the door for them, and they officially moved the appliances upstairs.
When he arrived at room 1702, Chen Xiang had already opened the door and was waiting. He said to the delivery masters, "It's finally here, I've been waiting for you for a long time." Let's move in!"
When the delivery master arrived at the door, he was stunned by the luxurious decoration and furniture inside, and he didn't dare to go inside, and one of them said to Chen Xiang: "It will dirty the ground, it's okay!"
"It's okay, you just go, after you go, I'll wait a while and mop the ground again, it's okay. Chen Xiang replied to them very generously.
After some busyness, the masters finally installed three major appliances. Before leaving, he didn't forget to say to Chen Xiang: "Boss, your home is really luxurious, I have sent many places, and the decoration furniture in your home is the best." ”
"What is this! You'll be like that at home in the future. Hearing the words of the delivery master, Chen Xiang couldn't help but answer him proudly.
"We ...... Forget it! Daydreaming is pretty much the same. The delivery master pointed to himself and replied self-deprecatingly.
After the delivery master left, Chen Xiang's wife said to him: "Husband, I'm hungry today, I'll go to the supermarket below to buy vegetables, and I'll cook a few good dishes for you to eat in the evening, when celebrating our family." ”
"Well, go ahead! Remember to bring back a bottle of wine, I'm going to have a good drink." Chen Xiang happily replied.
In this way, Chen Xiang went from extreme poverty to the first 10,000 yuan household in his hometown, and then from a 10,000 yuan household to a complete loser, owing the company nearly 200,000 yuan. The rest of the company's employees are similar to him, and all of them have returned to the pre-liberation period. However, their lives have directly caught up with middle-class families in the United States. This is what Shen Danqing wants to give them.
