The renovation company came, and they walked upstairs and downstairs, led by a man in his forties, bald, short, bloated, speaking in tongue-twisting dialects, and his voice was sharp, as if he had not yet developed, and it was unusually unpleasant.

When I came downstairs, I handed him a cigarette and said with a smile on his face: "Master, you see what you need for the decoration of this store, and then quote me a price." ”

He glanced at me, took the cigarette, and said hoarsely: "The average number has been fixed, the next thing is to look at the decoration style and the selection of materials, if you want to save money, there are low-priced products on the market, but the quality cannot be guaranteed." ”

Brother Scumbag walked over and asked in a low voice, "Normally, how much does it cost to decorate such a big store?" ”

The man took a puff of cigarette, thought for a moment, raised his eyebrows and said, "Counting the 90-square-meter house on the second floor, it should be estimated to be about 350,000." ”

After he finished speaking, he glanced at me again, and said lightly: "Now the decoration materials are very expensive, and the labor cost is not cheap, you choose to decorate at the end of the year, the price will definitely be higher, because now many decoration shops have ceased business, you have to understand." ”

I glanced at Brother Scum, Brother Scumbag coughed lightly, and did not give advice, I was thinking in my heart, the purchase plus decoration, all counted, it has exceeded 1 million, if you throw away the decoration, then your remaining amount is only a single digit.

I instantly had a sense of mission like walking on thin ice, the burden on my shoulders seemed to be a little heavier, seeing the store that was about to take shape, my heart was excited and depressed, whether it was the pressure exerted by Du Chenyu, and all aspects of things, it needs to be carefully considered, the various expenses after the store opens, as well as the circulation of funds for replenishment, if there is a problem in the middle, it will bring a lot of trouble.

I sighed deeply, looked at the decoration master and said, "Master, you go back first, I have considered the specific decoration style, and I am contacting you." ”

"We have a lot of prototypes here, you can refer to them, these design drawings are the most popular styles of clothing stores at the moment, and the price points are generally the same, you don't have to worry."

He took out his mobile phone, added my documents, and said lightly: "You take the time to take a good look, these pictures are very suitable for you here, if you are sure, contact me as soon as possible, because the Chinese New Year is approaching, and I also want the workers to go back to reunite with their families as soon as possible." ”

I nodded thoughtfully, and after sending him away, I sat on the big cardboard box with my brother and smoked, and when Brother Scumbag saw that I was frowning and full of worries, he comforted me and said: "What is there to worry about, if it is because the money is not enough, I can still get you some here, the most important thing at the moment is to start work immediately, don't waste time on small things." ”

Brother scumbag can always see through my mind, he seems to be a roundworm in my stomach, almost got into my head, I spit out a cigarette, squinted my eyes and said: "Brother scum, you have worked hard for a year, how can I lick your cheeky face and use your money." ”

Brother scumbag pursed his lips and said contemptuously: "Look at your grandson, what's wrong with my money not being spent?" Now the family doesn't have to worry about spending money, if you have an emergency, just take it. ”

I stood up, without words, and gently patted the scumbag brother on the shoulder, but I was speechless, and a voice in my heart was warning myself, if you don't mix up in this city, you won't have the face to face this group of loyal friends.

I contacted a decoration company again, and the quotations they gave were all similar, almost the same, and finally I discussed with the scumbag brother and decided to use the first company.

I stood at the door of the store, took out my mobile phone, found Qin Xiaolan's phone number, and dialed it directly.

"Hey..."

She said lazily, as if she hadn't woken up yet.

"Didn't you go to work today?"

I asked curiously, and saw a white sports car driving across the street, slowly parked at the door of the luxury goods, Wang Ling walked out of the car, I hadn't seen her for a few days, her expression was a little haggard, and her delicate cheeks were hung with a deep tiredness.

Qin Xiaolan said angrily: "Go to work every day, you can't do it if you want to exhaust your aunt and grandmother, and the living need to rest." ”

I smiled faintly and went straight to the point: "Xiaolan, I opened a clothing store, and I am preparing for renovation recently, you are engaged in design, can you give a good suggestion?" ”

"This girl is engaged in fashion design, not interior design, I'm afraid you're looking for the wrong person, but I still know a little bit about it, hehe."

She started to giggle over there, and I sniffled and saw Wang Ling standing next to the car, looking at herself, and there seemed to be a lot of lamentation in her eyes like autumn water.

I hurriedly looked away and whispered: "Then you have time to visit, and then help me design a decoration style, there are many reference model drawings here, and it should not be too difficult to design." ”

"Phew, if it's not difficult, why don't you design it yourself, I'll help you, is there any benefit?"

I shook my head bitterly, what I could repay her was to satisfy her extremely critical mouth, as well as her hungry stomach, I glanced back at the scumbag brother, with this chef in charge, to cook her a delicious meal, it was simply handy, effortless, and said with a smile: "After the matter is done, please eat a big meal, which is definitely in line with your taste." ”

"Words count, otherwise I will strangle you to death and let Xinyan stay alive."

She gritted her teeth and said, as if she was looking forward to this hard-won meal.

After hanging up the phone, I turned around and saw Wang Ling walking into the store with a bag, she was wearing a white down jacket on her upper body, a pair of light blue ripped jeans on her lower body, and a pair of brown low-waisted boots, adding a touch of charm and charm to the whole person.

"Are you going to decorate?"

She walked up to me and looked up at me, the zipper of the down jacket was ajar, and she was wearing a pink low-cut knit sweater.

I swallowed and nodded noncommittally.

She tucked the bangs scattered on her forehead behind her ears and whispered, "If you want to decorate, I can help you." ”

As soon as I heard that she was going to use money to tempt me again, I frowned, turned around quickly, and walked directly to the scumbag.

"I didn't help you for nothing."

She followed behind me and hurriedly explained: "I know the owner of a construction company, their construction quality is very good, and the reputation is also very good, I can introduce you to you, and you can talk about the price yourself." ”

"No, thank you."

I sat down next to Brother Scum, took out my mobile phone, and saw Xiao Qing send a WeChat message, I clicked on it to check, and only a few words were written on it: I divorced Jin Chen.

Seeing this sentence, I was very surprised, they have been married until now, only half a year, but they have been together for three years, why did they suddenly part ways.

Wang Ling sat down next to me, glanced at the phone screen, and said lightly, "Your girlfriend?" ”

"It's none of your business."

I glanced at her, and then said in the chat box: Jin Chen is very good, why did he suddenly get divorced, is it outside?

I clicked send, and when Wang Ling saw it, she pursed her lips and said with disdain: "People are divorced, what are you involved with, do you have a crush on her?" ”

After she finished speaking, she laughed twice, the scumbag brother plucked out his ears, stood up and said: "If there is nothing to do here, I will go back to cook first, and you will come back early when you are busy, and, this girl, I advise you to do your duty, everyone has their own ambitions, I don't know what your ambitions are, but I still have to say that the right way in the world is the vicissitudes of life, you know that there are tigers in the mountains, and you are still uncomfortable, is it a little out of place." ”

Wang Ling pursed her mouth and glared at the scumbag brother fiercely, without saying a word.

I stood up, looked at the scumbag brother and said, "I'll send you." ”

"No, I'll take the bus back."

He sighed, glanced at Wang Ling, who was lying beside me, and added, "You keep a snack and stay away from this little lady." ”

"What's wrong with me, I didn't grow up eating your rice, I have the right to pursue happiness, unlike you, who is old and slack-skinned, and has only to think about a beautiful girl."

Wang Ling crossed her arms and rubbed my arms twice.

After hearing this, Brother Scumbag said calmly: "Actually, this thing is not romantic at all, in essence, a disheartened woman, you may be able to surpass the body emotionally, but your heart can't cross the distance between the bed." ”

Wang Ling looked at the scumbag brother angrily, she didn't understand the meaning of this sentence, so she said angrily: "What do you mean, do you think I will be as superficial as your men?" ”

Brother Scumbag smiled knowingly: "Otherwise? ”

"You..."

Wang Ling was speechless for a while, like a fish in her throat, and was angry by the scumbag's sharp teeth, she saw me looking at her with disgust on her face, so she stomped her feet and walked out of the store quickly.

Her posture gradually drifted away, and my heart slowly soothed, Brother Scumbag sighed and whispered: "Today's young people are so dead-skinned, I don't know what to do, there is no grass at the end of the world, why can't you relax your heart." ”

I smiled helplessly, looked at the scumbag brother and said: "The times are developing, the society is progressing, and people's ideas are changing rapidly. ”

Brother scumbag lit a cigarette, glanced at me and said, "You understand this truth better than me, but why do you always do those stupid and stupid things, don't take pity on others in the future, and live a good life is the best policy." ”

Three months ago, Xiao Qing found evidence of Jin Chen's cheating, and she had always been sensitive, so she filed for divorce without saying a word.

However, the company was founded by the two of them, and it is in the rising period, but any party rashly withdraws is not conducive to the development of the company, so now it can only maintain the relationship with business partners.

At ten o'clock in the evening, I was about to close the door and go back, Qin Li walked in with a depressed face, I saw that he was depressed and his expression was gloomy, so I guessed that he would be more or less mentally stimulated when he went to see Xue Yao's parents this time.

"How's it going?"

I observed his expression, Qin Yan's mind was relatively simple, but whenever there was some emotion, it would hang on his face.

He didn't look at me, but just said in a low voice, "Brother, are you going to buy a house in this city?" ”

I was a little surprised to hear it, this question has been asked to me by the lady thousands of times, but I still said without thinking: "Of course it will, if you want to develop here, you can only buy a house first, and then Xinyan is also here, how can you do it without a stable residence." ”

After hearing this, Qin Yan became more and more melancholy, he scratched his unkempt hair, and said lightly: "But I don't have any money." ”

I thought for a moment, looked at him and said, "You can ask your family to help you make a down payment, and then repay the mortgage with Xue Yao. ”

"I don't want to live like that, I feel very tired, my parents have saved a lot of money over the years, it stands to reason that it is not impossible to buy a house in full, but I ran away from home rashly, there is no news, they have been holding a grudge, and suddenly informed them that I want to buy a house, don't even think about this statement."

He picked up an ice cream stick and scratched it on the concrete floor, and it was obvious that he was very anxious at this time.

"Then you're going to tell them to get married? Parents want their children to be happy, even if you are far away and have not returned for a long time, I believe that the second elder is still willing to give generously to help you get through the difficulties. ”

I muttered, remembering that the matter between myself and Xue Xinyan had not been settled for a long time, and I felt a little sad in my heart.

"Then I'm going to propose to Xue Yao?"

Qin Yan looked at me with a puzzled face, and seemed to agree very much with the plan I had planned for him.

I smiled faintly and whispered, "It depends on whether Xue Yao agrees." ”

I stood up and walked out of the shop, the remnant sun on the horizon radiated a crimson glow, casting a halo on the earth, and two birds landed on the street lamp, chirping, as if singing the song of early spring.
