Chapter 427: Going to See Jiang Yuyue

~7 min read 1,308 words

In the morning, Gu Bing and An Jing took a large group of people to stroll around Jingcheng. Zhou Andong grabbed Tang Lin to be the driver, pulling him and An Congwen to Anqiu Hutong.

Wanting to drive in, they found it blocked by a truck, and many people were moving things onto the truck, so Tang Lin could only park the car outside.

Zhou Andong got out of the car and said to An Congwen beside him: "Uncle An, this is the courtyard!"

Then, Zhou Andong pointed to the east mountain wall: "Dig an underground garage from here, the bigger the better, preferably able to park thirty or forty cars."

An Congwen asked: "What do you want such a big garage for."

Zhou Andong thought that in his previous life, that famous Sihe Academy's underground garage could park twenty-six cars. The stone carvings on the walls on both sides of the internal passage, the wooden carved doors, and the carved stone bricks on the ground were all designed in imitation of the Forbidden City's Imperial Garden.

Moreover, the garage ceiling was all made of yellow pear wood, and even the decorations were expensive works of art. The garage renovation alone cost one hundred million.

So, he also wanted to be an RMB player. However, in this era, it wouldn't cost one hundred million, but millions would definitely be needed. Because that yellow pear wood stuff wasn't cheap now either.

Most importantly, digging a basement now, the procedures were easy to handle. In a few years, even if someone had money, it wouldn't be easy to handle.

Zhou Andong said: "Our country's economy will definitely get better and better, and the common people will also have more and more money. By then, cars will become ordinary consumer goods, and every family will be able to afford them. Think about it, every family has a small car, where will the cars park? Naturally, parking spaces will become a scarce resource."

An Congwen said: "What you said sounds like a fairy tale, but even if there really is such a day, every family has a car, and the roadside is full, will your garage let others park?"

Zhou Andong said with a smile: "If one day I can't eat, renting out the parking space won't make me starve."

An Congwen laughed out loud: "You kid..."

Zhou Andong explained his idea, and An Congwen thought about it and said: "Building a garage according to your idea, it won't come down for a few million."

Zhou Andong said: "Money is not a problem, the garage entrance uses a rolling shutter door, the height must reach at least two point eight meters."

The two chatted, walked past the truck, and An Congwen looked at the gate. The exterior was tall red pillars, composed of rich lines of forehead and sparrow replacements, atmospheric and simple.

The two entered the courtyard, and Zhou Andong saw Liu Guishan directing the moving of things.

"Director Liu!" Zhou Andong walked over and greeted him.

"Andong!" Liu Guishan shook hands with Zhou Andong enthusiastically, "Originally it was Monday to move, but the other side is finished, the comrades' enthusiasm is very high, requesting to move today, sacrificing rest time tomorrow on Sunday, busy for another day, and working in the new office building on Monday."

Zhou Andong smiled, working in a spacious and bright building was much better than this Sihe Academy.

"Then fine, you guys get busy, I'll stroll around!"

"Good!" Liu Guishan nodded, "You guys stroll around."

Tang Lin followed behind the two like a little tail, greeted Liu Guishan with a grin.

Arriving at the second-entry courtyard, all the rooms were connected by a circular corridor, and bamboo and rare trees were all over the corridor, but because no one took care of them, or because it was winter, they looked dry.

Then came to the third-entry courtyard, in the middle was an underground water well, covered with a stone slab on top.

"Are you still using this water well?" An Congwen stepped on the stone slab on the well.

Zhou Andong knew that in a few years, all underground water wells in Jingcheng would be sealed, and taking underground water would be prohibited.

"No!"

An Congwen said: "Water controls wealth, when the time comes, get a stone pillar, carve a yin-yang lock, cover the water well, and lock the wealth."

Zhou Andong asked curiously: "You still believe in Feng Shui?"

An Congwen said with a smile: "Studied it, as for whether to believe it or not, it's a matter of opinion."

Zhou Andong nodded, and entered the fourth-entry courtyard. The greening rate here was the highest, maple trees, jade hairpin trees, cherry blossoms, etc., more than ten kinds of precious tree species.

Now it was winter, if it were summer, being able to rest and drink tea in such a quiet place in the noisy city was definitely a kind of enjoyment.

The three pushed open the hanging flower gate, entered the courtyard, and the field of vision suddenly became clear.

Rockeries, fish ponds, pavilions, stages, etc., were all preserved quite well.

Walking up to the second floor of the back cover room, the landscape of the entire courtyard, and even the eaves of the front courtyard could be glimpsed.

"This courtyard is really good." An Congwen said with great emotion: "I'm moved."

Zhou Andong asked: "Haven't you been here before?"

An Congwen said: "When I take students to sketch, I go to Houhai. I don't come here often, even if I come, I won't walk here."

Zhou Andong asked: "When will the design drawings come out?"

An Congwen said: "Guarantee that work can start in the spring."

Zhou Andong said worriedly: "This is for my own living, you must find a few reliable students, and also keep an eye on it, don't mess it up for me."

An Congwen laughed out loud: "Don't worry, my students are very professional."

Then, the three went to stroll around the few courtyards in front.

"Uncle An, I haven't thought about what to do with these few courtyards, don't renovate them yet, but they must be repaired."

An Congwen said: "To repair, you have to find professional people, and the cost will not be low."

"No problem!" Zhou Andong said: "As long as it can be solved with money, it's not a problem."

An Congwen said: "Then fine, I'll find people for you."

Zhou Andong gave the hospital phone number to An Congwen: "Uncle An, this is the hospital phone, if there's anything, call this."

"Uncle An!" Tang Lin came over, gave a note to An Congwen, "This is my mobile phone number, if you can't find Brother Dong, you can call me."

Zhou Andong looked at the sun in the sky: "It's almost noon, let's go eat something."

"I have something to do, not eating." An Congwen waved his hand, "Send me back."

Zhou Andong didn't stand on ceremony, the three got in the car, sent An Congwen back to the Central Academy of Fine Arts, and then went to Houhai to sign the contract, agreeing to go to the bank to take money and handle the transfer procedures tomorrow.

Tang Lin asked: "Where to now?"

Zhou Andong said: "Send me to Beijing Normal University."

Tang Lin's eyes suddenly lit up: "Brother Dong, you also know that the girls at Beijing Normal University are beautiful."

Zhou Andong said unhappily: "I'm going to see a friend, your thinking is too filthy."

Tang Lin curled his lips, not believing it at all, started the car, and headed straight for Beijing Normal University.

Zhou Andong took the mobile phone Tang Lin placed on the passenger seat and quickly pressed a string of numbers.

"Hello, my name is Zhou Andong, please find Jiang Yuyue from dormitory 308." ===== CHAPTER 428 =====
