Before getting into the car, Xu Wen called the capital first.
Before he left, he entrusted the ball to Grandma Liu, and the ball ran out by itself. If she couldn't find it now, Grandma would definitely be extremely worried.
He called back, Granny Liu's daughter was indeed looking for, heard him say relieved, and surprised to ask him how to follow the past, Xu asked can not answer, vague past.
He ended the call and was about to head back when his phone rang again.
He looked at the number and frowned slightly. Finally, he picked it up.
" Let's calm down and hurry back to work!" The superior's voice on the phone was a little awkward, pretending to be a tough order.
"I'm in Wanyuan City now, not in the capital anymore." Xu Wen said.
"Not anymore? Don't spout nonsense. Hurry up. You haven't finished handing over the job yet. Why are you leaving?" The boss is anxious.
" Manager Liu has all the information. He's the one in charge. He followed up well. There's no problem with continuing to follow up." Xu Wen said.
"Liu Bin is useless! The workers are all rebelling, they are making a fuss and are not coming in. They are only halfway through their work. What should we do now?" The boss finally lost his temper.
" You should be very clear about the root of the problem." Xu Wen calmly pointed out.
"You…"
"I think it might be more efficient to persuade the design department to change the plan." Xu Wen said.
At this moment, Jing Cheng, who was standing beside the car, turned around slightly and looked over. Xu Wen looked up and saw it and said,"I am indeed not in the capital right now. I still have some things to do. Let's talk about it later."
After saying that, he pressed the hang up button without waiting for his boss to reply.
Before hanging up, he heard his boss's exasperated voice: " Don't even think about getting the rest of your salary before the handover is over!"
See you in labor arbitration. Xu Wen said silently in his heart.
He would inherit this property smoothly, and he would no longer be short of money. But what he deserves, he won't give up.
Before resigning, he was a deputy project manager for a construction company.
Their company accepted a project, a rich second generation to do a private collection, request to build antique buildings.
Their boss had a friend who was familiar with this rich second generation, so he received a job at a nearby building. However, the rich second generation didn't use their construction team. Instead, they invited another team outside, saying that it was specialized in antique buildings.
This led to contradictions.
Their company attaches great importance to this project and wants to take advantage of it to expand its business scope. So from the beginning, they were fighting for the right to speak with the construction party.
In the end, the construction team was also very stubborn. They even had to follow their rules on how to place a stone.
From beginning to end, both sides argued countless times over all kinds of big and small matters, and pulled countless skins. Xu Wen, the deputy project manager, constantly coordinated in the middle, causing a lot of trouble.
Over time, the construction team trusted him more and more, and it felt like they only recognized what he said.
Gradually, Xu Wen realized that the workers on the construction team were actually very pure. They had no intention of competing for the right to talk. They really wanted to do a good job. The dispute with their company was all business and selfless.
Moreover, they were indeed very experienced in antique architecture and had real skills.
Xu Wen thought so. Their company would not think so. On the one hand, it was the issue of the right to speak, on the other hand, it was also the difference in construction concepts. There were more and more contradictions between the two sides. Xu Wen could only try his best to coordinate and occasionally persuade the construction team to make concessions in some unimportant places to ease the relationship between the two sides.
This time, the construction team put forward a plan, which was directly refuted by their company's design department.
Xu Wen felt that the other party's design was more reasonable, but the design department was very tough this time. They insisted on following their side's plan and even lost their temper at him, saying that he had turned his elbow outward and stood on the other party's side as soon as possible.
Xu Wen knew very well that this insistence was due to reasons other than the project. He really couldn't agree with such an approach and could only resign.
Xu Wen put away the phone, walked to the car, very embarrassed to say: "Let you wait."
"It doesn't matter." Jing Cheng shook his head and asked casually," Is there any trouble that needs to be dealt with?"
"No, it's just a small matter." Xu Wen broke out in a sweat. Mo Ming felt that Jing Cheng meant that if there was something inconvenient, he would help him kill people. He quickly denied it and got into the car.
Xu Wen had just sat down when his backpack suddenly moved.
It's ball. Ball.
He nervously held his bag down and raised his eyes. He happened to meet Jing Cheng's eyes in the rearview mirror.
Jing Cheng glanced at him and asked,"Is that a…cat?"
"Hmm…yes. Excuse me. Do you mind?" Xu Wen let go of his hand, and Qiuqiu took the opportunity to squeeze out a head, his eyes shining brightly in the dark space.
"Sir once raised a raccoon slave. Dark clouds cover the snow. It's named Ali. It's deeply spiritual." Jing Cheng didn't seem to be an easy person to get along with, but when he mentioned Little Tanuki, he smiled slightly, looking nostalgic.
Xu Wen was stunned for a moment before he realized that "raccoon slave" was an ancient name for cats. Speaking of which, he had seen such a cultured title online. However, he asked what the clouds covered with snow were like. He smiled and said,"The ball is a purebred black cat, and the claws are black." Actually, it's just a little country cat, a stray cat. It's winter and its nest is downstairs. It looks pitiful, so I picked it up."
Qiuqiu wasn't afraid of strangers at all. Half of his body came out of his bag and he stretched out his claws to crawl forward. Xu Wen was afraid that it would interfere with the driver's driving, so he held it down with one hand. Qiuqiu struggled twice but failed. She lay down obediently in his arms.
Xu Wen stroked Qiuqiu's fur and hesitated for a moment. Finally, he couldn't hold back his curiosity and asked," My great-grandfather…what kind of person was he?"
Jing Cheng was silent for a moment before slowly saying,"Sir…he is a very serious person."
Xu Wen had prepared a lot of answers in his heart, including kindness, generosity, interest, and so on. He did not expect Jing Cheng to give such an evaluation.
Seriously?
Xu Wen suddenly remembered what others had said about him in the past, and Mo Ming smiled.
Jing Cheng had indeed done his homework. He was dressed in an antique green robe, which gave him a sense of being out of date, but he was very familiar with the various processes of house inheritance.
What to do first, what to do next, clear and clear. With his guidance, all procedures were unimpeded. Xu Wen completed the formalities as quickly as possible. At about 5 p.m. that day, he held the brand-new property ownership certificate in his hand.
"Little sir, do you have any other arrangements? Why don't we take a look inside the mansion?"
After the property inheritance procedures were completed, Jing Cheng changed his address to Xu Wen. At this moment, Xu Wen was holding the property ownership certificate. Looking at his name on it, he was a little stunned.
Did this ten-million-dollar mansion really belong to him?
So he went from being a drifter without permanent property to a real householder?
It was not an ordinary house, but a large mansion located in the center of Wanyuan City!
Life is wonderful...
Xu Wen was in a daze. After a while, he heard Jing Cheng's words. He quickly said," Yes, I have nothing else to do. I can go and see him at any time!"
Speaking of which, he had not seen the house with his own eyes until now. He only knew that it already belonged to him. He wondered what it looked like, and it would be nice if he could learn from it how his great-grandfather had lived.
"It's getting late. Let's set off as soon as possible." Hearing his words, Jing Cheng said indifferently.
The vehicle restarted and headed toward the curved river road.
Although Quhe Road was also a scenic spot, it was located in the center of Wanyuan City. The surroundings were not deserted, and it could even be called prosperous. However, the city of Wan Yuan was born with an elegant poetic temperament. The white walls and black tiles around it only felt beautiful and did not show any noise.
"Wanyuan City is really beautiful." Xu Wen's mood was very relaxed. He looked out of the window and praised.
"Yes. If you stay here permanently in the future, you'll have plenty of chances to see it." Jing Cheng said.
"Resident?" Xu Wen was stunned for a moment and quickly explained,"I shouldn't stay here for too long." After the paperwork, after the chores, I might put the house up for sale. After that, I'll return to the capital. I still have some things to do there."
Xu Wen had planned all of this since a long time ago, and he spoke very decisively.
Jing Cheng in front seemed to be slightly stunned. He turned around and looked at him, but did not speak for a while.
This made Xu Wen a little nervous. He asked,"Can't this house be sold?"
Jing Cheng shook his head thoughtfully. Xu Wen heaved a sigh of relief when he answered.
" The owner of the house is free to do whatever he wants."
Even so, Xu Wen did not know why he still felt a little guilty. He did not say anything the whole way.
Laocheng District of Wanyuan City is well preserved, and the government reconstruction is also on the original basis, which allows it to retain many original features and makes the streets slightly narrow.
Especially after entering Quhe Road, the vehicles turned around and twisted in the narrow laneway. Several times Xu asked, thinking that they would not pass. It was Xu Wen's first time in Wanyuan City, so he was not familiar with the roads here. After turning around for a while, he could only make out the general direction. He had no idea where he had come from.
At last the traffic went along the river, the river was slow, and now and then there were stone arches across it, and the weeping willows and the white oleander flowers were thick, and the white houses were hidden, and the scenery was beautiful. Xu Wen admired the scenery outside the window and finally couldn't help but break the silence in the car: "This is Qu River?"
"Yes." Jing Cheng replied.
Quhe Road is named after Quhe River.
Wanyuan City has a developed water system, and residential buildings are often built along the river. Its most famous gardens are all near Quhe Road, which also creates its great reputation.
Xu Wen had heard his name early, or was it the first time he had seen the scenery here.
The car drove for a while and stopped at the river.
It was very quiet here. Occasionally, a few words of laughter could be heard in the distance. They came through the flowers and willows and hung in the sky.
"We're here," Jing Cheng turned around and said.
