'Hello, Yiping,' Wang Jinju ran to a public pay phone not far away and dialled Feng Yiping's mobile phone. If they were face to face, she might joke and call him Boss Feng, but today's phone call seemed a bit unusual, so she acted a bit more formally.
'Hello, old classmate,' Feng Yiping sounded very energetic. "I've been following the store you're in charge of, and it's doing very well,'
'Haha, just remember to give me a red envelope at the end of the year," Wang Jinju said half-jokingly.
'No problem, but now I urgently need a favour from you. I know you and Feng Wen are getting along well, can you please separate for a while? In October, would you be able to come to the capital for a month? Just for a month, it won't keep you apart for too long. And, I don't want Jingping to know that I'm calling you. When I tell her, just say that you want to come to the capital to take a look, okay?'
If he didn't want to tell Jingping, then it must be related to Huang Jingping. Seeing that Feng Yiping had said it so solemnly, Wang Jinju didn't ask him what it was about over the phone, and readily agreed, 'I remember, no problem, I will definitely go to the capital in October.'
'Thank you very much!'
After hanging up the phone, Wang Jinju was still pondering what it could be that Feng Yiping would be so solemn about. And from the tone of his voice, it didn't sound like anything good. Could it be that something would go wrong between him and Jingping?
After Feng Yiping hung up the phone, Chen Xuefeng was already waving at him from over there, 'Yiping, is this the way to handle it in the living room?'
Chen Xuefeng had arrived in the capital two days ago with three attendants from the design office, and had also brought Feng Yiping's admission notice and file along. Feng Yuxuan had originally said that it should be sent by express mail, but Feng Zhenchang and Mei Qiuping had unanimously opposed the idea. It just so happened that Chen Xuefeng was coming to the capital.
They also brought a large pile of documents, including Xu Bin's trip to the United States with the newly formed team from the budget hotel. Feng Yiping was very serious about this matter. Even if they couldn't be the first in China, they mustn't lag behind for too long. This was his first company to go directly to the market, and he wanted to go public on the Nasdaq.
Chen Xuefeng and the others came to Beijing with the main purpose of designing Feng Yiping's villa, and also the idea of setting up a studio here. There are now many high-end projects like the Central Villa District in the capital, and there will be more in the future.
Jia Sheng Design Studio has absorbed the essence of the design solutions that Feng Yiping brought with him more than ten years ago. Not to say that they are leading the times, but at least they are unique and have distinctive characteristics. They can always make a lot of eye-catching details in seemingly unremarkable plans. At this time, those who are most meticulous and pay the most attention to detail are, of course, those who have spent a lot of money on high-end villas and have the means to do so.
Moreover, such meticulously crafted plans can also fetch a good price, making money and gaining fame at the same time, which is what Comrade Feng Yiping likes best.
Of course, this is also thanks to the fact that 'local tyrants' have not yet become a high-sounding term, and 'local tyrant gold' has not yet become a fashionable colour. When the real local tyrants enter the city, they have to pretend to be cultured, for fear that others will see through their true nature.
After arriving, they stayed here. After making a rough plan, Feng Yiping worked with them, making changes and changes. It really is as the saying goes, there is no best, only better.
For the few people in the design room, one, this is the boss's house, and the design room of course has to come up with the best plan, and second, there is also the idea of making this a model.
As for Feng Yiping, decorating is the most tiring, and it is best to decorate once and be able to last for 30 to 50 years without going out of style.
And the living room is the most important place of all, after all, it is where the guests are usually received, so it is here that the owner's taste should be comprehensively displayed to the guests. After the first draft was produced, they have revised and perfected it no less than ten times.
Facing the final rendering on the laptop, Feng Yiping looked at it carefully for more than ten minutes, 'Not bad, it is atmospheric, simple, elegant, and has a hint of vitality. The layout is just right, not a bit too much, not a bit too little, perfect! This is the final draft, next we will perfect the dining room and kitchen,'
etc., 'Xiao Sun, go outside and send these drawings back to the furniture factory,' according to Feng Yiping's instructions, they also improved Feng Yiping's newly designed furniture, even measuring the dimensions accurately.
Cai Lei got a batch of mahogany through a friend in the southwest. Originally, Feng Yiping wanted to use it to make a few sets of high-end furniture to raise the bar, but now it just so happens that he can make a set for Feng Yiping. For this reason, Cai Lei made a special trip back from Shenzhen to the provincial capital to let Cai Lei go over there for a while.
After all, in an era when furniture materials are becoming more and more common, and even some small factories are already commonly using plywood, precious wood is more suitable for an old carpenter like him!
The couple's request is to have the house, including the furniture, completed within one and a half months. This is where Feng Yiping's connections to a decoration company and a furniture factory come in handy. For example, the furniture factory is waiting for their drawings, and once they come out, they will start working on a part of it.
Huang Jingping is currently learning to drive, and is currently in the theoretical learning period. Although Feng Yiping told her that it will be similar to reading a book when the time comes, she is still very serious, 'It is always beneficial to write down these rules!'
Feng Yiping feels that she must have developed a serious learning paranoia!
When she got home, dinner was ready. She was facing the textbook and taking notes very seriously. 'Welcome home, Jin. Sister Jin won't be back for lunch, so it'll just be the two of us.'
During the pioneering period, the boss was always very busy, and Jin Ling usually couldn't make it back for lunch, so she just grabbed a quick bite at the company. Of course, it was also possible that she didn't want to face these two who were unintentionally always showing off their love for each other. Men and women in love always easily make any place their own home.
'The convenience store has everything you need. I've packed for you already. We'll go over it again this afternoon to see if there's anything missing.'
Feng Yiping reports for duty tomorrow. He will be living on campus for at least half a month because of military training. This is the first time in four or five years that Feng Yiping will be living in a dormitory again.
Huang Jingping wrote down the things he needed to bring, big and small, in a list of nearly 50 items. He was surprised to see the list, and when he first went to junior high school and lived in the dormitory, he only had a knapsack, a mesh bag, and a load carried by his father, which included a desk and chair set. Now, he was going to check in and live there for a few days, but he had to bring so much?
But after going through everything, it really seems like he can't do without any of it. Jin Ling also went through it all and had only one comment: 'You really are quite a little prince now!'
He also admitted that it seemed that he was indeed a bit of a goldbricker. For example, Huang Jingping had even prepared a small selection of items for him, including sunscreen, wet wipes and a mirror. There were also several bottles of facial cleanser, which were not essential but still nice to have. In this weather, the sun can easily turn you from a white-faced scholar into a person with a face similar to a burnt clay potter or charcoal seller.
But things are different now. They don't need to buy these things themselves, as most convenience stores keep them in stock, which really saves a lot of trouble.
At dinner, Jin Ling volunteered, 'I'll go with you tomorrow too, as a parent.'
'That's great,' Feng Yiping smiled, 'with you two accompanying me, my registration will definitely be a lot less of a hassle.'
He knew very well what kind of people the older students were. He didn't think he was handsome enough to make the older girls' legs fall apart, so he could only count on the help of the older students.
And whether it was a first-class university like Tsinghua or Peking University, or a general college in the counties and cities below, there was no older student who didn't like to show off in front of pretty girls. Moreover, Jin Ling and Huang Jingping were definitely the type of girls who could make those older students unable to walk.
