Chapter 2027: The House is Too Big

~7 min read 1,328 words

Listening to the middle-aged woman's chat, Zhou Andong couldn't help but laugh, his heart filled with emotion. These were true portrayals of life, and all of this was brought about by him.

He was just about to call the security guard to open the door when another couple holding their child's little hand swiped the door and walked out, and the two took the opportunity to enter the residential area.

The moment they stepped into the residential area, the sound of soft music entered their ears like silk, as if the whole world had become quiet.

Hidden speakers were set up in the residential area. Walking through it and listening to the soothing melody made one feel incomparably tranquil and peaceful.

This was something Zhou Andong had suggested installing back then, thinking that it could be used for activities during the New Year and holidays.

It was only when they reached the artificial lake and the children's play area that the peace and tranquility were broken.

But the children's play and laughter added a rich human touch.

"It's really lively here."

Wu Huilin stopped and took a look. It was also her first time coming here at night, even though the house had already been renovated.

But Zhou Andong said it needed ventilation for a period of time, so she hadn't moved in yet.

"Yes!" Zhou Andong nodded: "This is the taste of life."

The two walked along the path toward Building No. 7. The flowers, plants, and trees on both sides of the road were lush, exuding a fresh breath.

While walking, Wu Huilin said: "Except for those families whose children go to school in the city, almost all the employees whose houses have been renovated have moved in."

Zhou Andong looked up, his gaze falling on Buildings No. 1 to No. 6, and he found that more than half of the rooms had lights on.

A sense of pride welled up in his heart, and this pride stemmed from a sense of achievement deep within.

When they reached Building No. 7, neither Zhou Andong nor Wu Huilin had an access card, so they could only ring the doorbell, but there was no response.

Zhou Andong said helplessly: "I guess the old man and the old lady don't know how to use it."

Wu Huilin said with a smile: "Let's wait. There are patrolling security guards; they definitely have access cards."

The entire residential area was divided into five areas, and the patrolling security guards were also in five groups, three people in each group, patrolling once every half hour.

After waiting for a while, the patrolling security guards finally arrived. One of them was holding a flashlight, but the light here was sufficient, so he didn't turn it on.

"Brother!" Zhou Andong called out: "I am Zhou Andong, and this is Wu Huilin, President of the Yugong Group."

The security guards hadn't seen Wu Huilin, but they recognized Zhou Andong, after all, he could often be seen on the news.

"Chairman, General Manager Wu!"

The three security guards stood at attention and gave a very standard military salute. One look and you could tell they were retired soldiers.

Zhou Andong waved his hand politely: "You have an access card, right? Help me open the door."

"Yes!" One of the security guards took out an access card from his pocket and swiped the unit door open.

"Thank you!"

Zhou Andong said thank you, entered the door, and then took the elevator to the sixth floor.

6001 was for the old man and the old lady, and 6002 was for Old Comrade Zhou and Comrade Yuan Liying.

Wu Huilin asked: "Are Uncle and Auntie back?"

"No!" Zhou Andong shook his head: "My grandfather and grandmother are back."

Wu Huilin said with dissatisfaction: "You came to see your grandfather and grandmother, why didn't you tell me in advance? This is the first time meeting them, and I didn't bring any gifts. It's too impolite."

"Hey!"

Looking at Wu Huilin's serious expression, Zhou Andong laughed.

"We aren't outsiders, what gifts are you buying? If you really feel bad about it, make up for it during the Spring Festival."

"Bang bang bang..."

Zhou Andong raised his hand to knock on the door, and there was an immediate reaction from inside.

"Coming, coming!"

Immediately after, the door opened, and the old lady appeared at the doorway.

"Dongzi, you finally came."

After saying this, the old lady noticed Wu Huilin behind Zhou Andong and was stunned for a moment.

"Oh my, a guest has come, hurry up and come in."

Zhou Andong and Wu Huilin entered the room. The old man was sitting on the sofa watching TV. Hearing the old lady say a guest had come, he also stood up.

Zhou Andong introduced: "Grandpa, Grandma, this is our group president, Wu Huilin."

Wu Huilin bowed slightly: "Grandpa, Grandma, how are you?"

"Good, good, good!"

The old lady enthusiastically invited Wu Huilin to sit down, and the old man also took out fruit from the refrigerator. This was bought by Wang Wentian before coming over today.

Wu Huilin watched the old man put the fruit on the coffee table, and said with an apologetic face: "Grandpa, Grandma, the Chairman didn't tell me that we were coming to visit you, and I didn't bring any gifts. It's really too impolite."

"With me, there aren't that many rules." The old man laughed: "We are all family. If you brought things, I would really be unhappy."

Wu Huilin also laughed. She really didn't expect that this old man, who had lived in the countryside all his life, would have such an open-minded personality.

"Thank you, Grandpa, then I won't be polite." Wu Huilin said with a smile, then took the fruit handed over by the old man and held it in her hand.

"This child, don't be polite when you come to the house." The old lady said with a smile, then looked at Zhou Andong: "Dongzi, that little box just now kept ringing. I don't know if it's broken."

Zhou Andong stood up and walked to the door: "This is an access intercom. I just rang the doorbell downstairs. Press this button to talk to me, and press this button to open the unit door."

The old lady walked over and let Zhou Andong demonstrate it for her before she remembered it.

"So that's how it is." The old lady laughed: "Just now your grandpa and I thought it was broken. We were still saying that the quality was too poor, and we were preparing to go to the property management, and then there was no sound."

Zhou Andong laughed loudly, sat down beside the old man, picked up an apple on the coffee table, and took a crunchy bite.

"Grandpa, Grandma, are you satisfied with this house?"

"Satisfied! Very satisfied!" The old lady said with a smile on her face, "I never dreamed that I would be able to live in a building in this life, and it's an elevator building, so big and so beautiful.

It's just that it's too empty for the two of us, especially cleaning. I don't do anything, but I have to clean for a day, and that's just a simple cleaning."

"The senior leaders of the group live in this building." Zhou Andong explained with a smile, "So the property management is very thoughtful. They will regularly send cleaning staff to clean, and you only need to do a simple cleaning at home."

Hearing this, the old man seemed a bit hesitant: "We are not the leaders of the group. Wouldn't it be inappropriate to let the property management send someone to clean?"

Wu Huilin hurriedly said with a smile: "Grandpa, the entire group is the boss's industry, including property management, which is one of the business scopes, so it is normal to arrange for people to come to the house to clean regularly." ===== CHAPTER 2028 =====
