Chapter 468: A Good Thing
Before Jiang Ping went to study in Paris, the renovation of the courtyard had already begun. With the efforts of the renovation company, the project was completed more than a year ago. It carries many good memories between Jiang Ping and Zhang Chenlin, and he will live here many times. So the first thing to look at is this small courtyard.
After Jiang Ping pushed open the courtyard door and entered, his first impression was that this small courtyard was no different from before. Whether it is the big trees in the yard, the flower beds on both sides or the fish pond in the corner, they are all exactly the same as before. And the small building in front of it looks no different from the outside, and it perfectly fulfills Jiang Ping's promise to Mrs. Feng that he will definitely maintain the original appearance of the courtyard.
Jiang Ping walked around the small courtyard twice and nodded lightly involuntarily. He was very satisfied with the situation in the yard, and he could see that the other party had really put a lot of thought into it. And the next question is, what is the situation inside the small building?
Jiang Ping opened the door with the key, walked into the small building with anticipation, and quickly liked the environment inside. Don't look at the appearance of the small building is no different from before, but there have been earth-shaking changes inside. The original gloomy and depressing feeling is gone, and the building is clean and bright, which makes people feel good as soon as they walk in.
The small building is fully equipped with all kinds of facilities, kitchens and bathrooms, and is equipped with the most advanced kitchen and bathroom equipment. The living room is also equipped with a large-screen TV and hi-fi, which is currently the best home theater system.
Jiang Ping walked up an intricately designed staircase to the second floor, where there were three bedrooms, which could not only meet the needs of Jiang Ping and Zhang Chenlin, but also receive guests for temporary stays.
The bedrooms are small but cosy and welcoming. Each has its own bathroom. It is completely comparable to a 5-star hotel.
According to Jiang Ping's requirements. Air conditioning is installed throughout the building, and there is even underfloor heating to ensure the comfort of the occupants all year round. Although Jiang Ping spent more than 2 million yuan on this renovation project, he still thinks that the money is well spent.
Jiang Ping was a person who liked to enjoy himself in his previous life, and when he was just reborn, he would be limited by the conditions, and he could only live a hard life for a while. Now that he has some money, of course he won't treat himself badly.
And Jiang Ping knew it in his heart. Housing prices in Sioux City will soon experience a period of crazy increases. It may seem that it is a bit expensive to spend millions to repair this yard now, but in a few years, such a yard will be worth tens of millions, and it will always be priceless. Even if you sell this place at that time, it will be a profitable deal. If you think about it this way, spending two or three million is nothing at all.
Jiang Ping was very satisfied with everything in the courtyard, and couldn't help muttering: "If the morning is here, it will be even better!"
Speaking of which, Zhang Chenlin has been studying in the capital for several months, but he has not returned to Su City. She and several other colleagues are also subordinates that Wei Decheng focuses on cultivating, and they will study there for at least half a year. So today, Jiang Ping can only come to see the small courtyard alone.
Without Zhang Chenlin, a gentle and pretty neighbor, Jiang Ping always felt that something was missing from this yard. However, there is no way around it. All Jiang Ping could do was wait patiently and wait for Zhang Chenlin to come back.
In any case, Jiang Ping is still very satisfied with the renovation project of the yard. So he simply sent the balance to the decoration company, and then made an appointment with the other party to install the safe that had been temporarily moved elsewhere.
The safe was filled with unwrapped jadeite wool, worth at least tens of millions. Even for the current Jiang Ping, this is a lot of money, and of course he will not be careless.
In addition to these wool materials, Jiang Ping also has a lot of unsolved jadeite roughs. These rough stones have also been identified by him with a snobbish eye, ensuring that all pieces can produce high-quality jadeite, and can also bring him huge benefits.
At present, all those rough stones are placed in the courtyard of Yiyizhai, and Jiang Ping also plans to move those rough stones back as soon as possible. He plans to use these rough stones to build a small rockery by the fish pond, and sell a piece when needed. And no one would have thought that these "rockeries" piled up by the fish pond are actually treasures worth millions or even tens of millions, and there will be no problems in terms of safety.
After arranging the small courtyard, Jiang Ping called a taxi and went directly to Zhao Wanqing's unit. This time he came back and didn't tell anyone, just for a surprise for everyone.
It is true that when Jiang Ping came to Zhao Wanqing's unit, it happened to be lunch time. When Zhao Wanqing, who walked out of the company with her colleagues, saw Jiang Ping, her surprised expression couldn't be hidden.
Jiang Ping didn't take the initiative to step forward, just looked at Zhao Wanqing with a smile. Zhao Wanqing also smiled happily at him, and then whispered a few words to the female colleagues beside her, and walked quickly towards Jiang Ping.
"When did you come back?" Coming to Jiang Ping, Zhao Wanqing said to him with a slight complaint: "Why don't you tell me in advance, I can pick you up!"
"Just arrived in Sioux City last night. Jiang Ping smiled: "I didn't tell anyone this time, I just wanted to surprise you." ”
Hearing Jiang Ping say this, the little dissatisfaction in Zhao Wanqing's heart also disappeared. He only came back last night, and he came to see him at noon today, which already moved Zhao Wanqing very much.
However, Zhao Wanqing is a mature woman after all, and she can control her emotions well. She didn't make any excessive moves, just looked at Jiang Ping with a smile and said, "Since I invite you to dinner at noon, I should give you a pick-up, where do you want to go?"
"Whatever. Jiang Ping, who is well versed in women's psychology, smiled: "As long as it's with you!"
Even Zhao Wanqing was very happy by Jiang Ping's words, and couldn't help but glance at him coquettishly and said, "I hate it, come to make people happy with sweet words again!"
Looking at Zhao Wanqing, who was full of happiness, Jiang Ping also smiled happily.
In the end, the two chose a nearby restaurant, for no other reason, just because there was a private room here, so that the two could be alone.
After the waiter went out, Jiang Ping gave Zhao Wanqing a hug and said to her with a smile: "Long time no see, I miss me!"
Zhao Wanqing's face was slightly red, her eyes were rippling, and she responded softly: "I miss you too." ”
Although it was just four simple words, Jiang Ping couldn't help but feel a little moved, and hurriedly said to Zhao Wanqing: "Why don't you go to Yizhai tonight?"
"No!" Zhao Wanqing immediately shook her head, and then hurriedly explained to Jiang Ping: "My father went to the province for a meeting in the past two days, and I really don't feel at ease to let Jiajia be home alone at night." ”
Since it was for this reason, of course Jiang Ping would not force Zhao Wanqing, but gave her a comforting smile and said: "Of course the child is important, as for us...... It's going to be a long time coming!"
Knowing the meaning of Jiang Ping's words, Zhao Wanqing couldn't help but glance at him, and her pretty face turned even redder. Fortunately, at this time, the waiter began to serve the food, which just resolved Zhao Wanqing's embarrassment.
The two of them also had a good lunch. Zhao Wanqing is very interested in Jiang Ping's study abroad life and has been asking him questions in this regard. And Jiang Ping also chose those things that could be said to tell Zhao Wanqing, although they were all very insipid little things, she still listened to them with relish.
"I really envy you, you can go out and have a look. Listening to Jiang Ping's life in Paris, Zhao Wanqing said with a look of fascination: "Actually, I also want to go out to open my eyes and recharge myself by the way." Don't you know, I'm getting more and more overwhelmed at work, and it's time to learn more. ”
Jiang Ping smiled and said, "Since you have such an idea, then go out and have a look, I can help you arrange it." ”
"No!" Zhao Wanqing shook her head and said, "I'm out, what should Jiajia do?"
Jiang Ping thought for a while and said, "I can go with you, and by the way, let her feel the atmosphere outside, maybe she can learn fluent French! ”
Hearing Jiang Ping's words, Zhao Wanqing couldn't help but feel a little moved. However, after thinking about it for a long time, she still shook her head lightly and said, "No, Jiajia and I are gone, who will take care of my father." And ......"
Speaking of this, Zhao Wanqing glanced at Jiang Ping deeply, and then said faintly: "I don't want to be so far away from you!"
Hearing Zhao Wanqing's deep affection for herself, Jiang Ping couldn't help but be a little moved, and immediately said: "If you really want to go out and have a look, I will definitely help you arrange it." You don't have to worry about our dad, I'll go to see him often. As for us, going to Paris is just a half-day flight anyway, and I can fly over to see you when I have time. ”
Knowing that Jiang Ping was also thinking about himself when he said this, Zhao Wanqing also nodded and said, "Well, this is a big deal, you let me think about it again." ”
"Okay, no problem. Jiang Ping said to Zhao Wanqing seriously: "I just hope you don't give up your dreams for other things." Now that you are still young, you can completely chase your ideals, and don't regret it when you are seventy or eighty, it will be too worthless. ”
"Got it!" Laughed by Jiang Ping's words, Zhao Wanqing glanced at him and said, "Look at what you said, you really look like a middle-aged man! Don't forget, you're not as old as me!"
Of course, Jiang Ping can't say to Zhao Wanqing, in fact, his mental age is really older than her. So I could only smile and shake my head at what I said, without giving any explanation.
"By the way, there's a thing about my dad. Zhao Wanqing didn't dwell on this topic, and soon whispered to Jiang Ping: "He also whispered to me yesterday, don't say it!"
It is rare to see Zhao Wanqing like this, and Jiang Ping also solemnly promised: "Don't worry, I will never tell others." ”
Of course, Zhao Wanqing believed Jiang Ping unconditionally, and immediately said to him: "My father said that after this year's election, he will be transferred to the city to take up a leadership position. ”
Hearing Zhao Wanqing's words, Jiang Ping couldn't help but nod and said, "This is a great thing!" (to be continued......)
