Chapter 295 July

During the meal, Yang Xingyu and Ni Jieru chatted a lot.

But it only took one meal. After lunch with Ni Jieru, Yang Xingyu made her a cup of rose tea and said goodbye to her.

Again, Ni Jieru was not his girlfriend after all. He was also very busy at work and didn't have much free time to stay with her.

Ni Jieru hesitated and seemed to want to chat for a while, but when she saw that Yang Xingyu had gone to the shoe cabinet to change shoes, she hesitated and did not stop.

When Yang Xingyu left and the door was closed before he left, Ni Jieru sighed softly.

She is an extrovert, works as a reporter, and runs around outside every day. She is really not used to being injured and staying at home to recuperate.

Especially since my mother is not here today, she is alone in this house, which is empty and a bit too quiet.

Suddenly, she thought of something and raised her right hand, looking at the palm of her hand doubtfully.

Looking at the palm of her hand, her face felt a little warm and her heartbeat accelerated a little.

Because she remembered that after she fell down today, when Yang Xingyu helped her up, she subconsciously grabbed her hands back, trying to grab his clothes to lend some strength, so that she could get up more smoothly.

At that time, she successfully grabbed his clothes with her left hand, and... although she also caught his clothes with her right hand, there was obviously something hidden inside the clothes.

As soon as she caught that thing in her hand, she realized what it was and let go immediately as if she was electrocuted.

Thinking about it now, her eyes were a little confused, wondering if she had made a wrong judgment at the time? It shouldn't be that thing, right?

Thinking of this, she frowned and moved her right hand in front of her. The right hand that had been naturally spread out was suddenly clenched. After thinking about it, she slightly opened the five fingers of the clenched hand.

After thinking about it, he opened it a little more.

Frowning and staring at her empty right hand for a while, she suddenly shook her head and said to herself: "No way! It's not that big. There must be something stuffed in his pocket, and I misunderstood..."

Then, she subconsciously picked up the mobile phone on the table and wanted to call her cousin Qi Meilan.

Qi Meilan must know the truth.

but……

How could she ask such a question?

Therefore, after she found Qi Meilan's number on her mobile phone, she hesitated to dial it. Finally, she sighed and put down her mobile phone.

……

May is here.

On Labor Day on the 1st, Yang Xingyu attended the opening activities of three franchise stores.

Three of the first batch of Yangji Roast Duck franchise stores chose to open on this day.

As planned, Yang Xingyu sent a chef from his own company to each of the three stores to provide technical guidance for a week.

This is not only a condition written in the franchise agreement, but also an arrangement that he hopes the franchise stores will gain a firm foothold in the market.

In the next half month, he attended the opening of the franchise store almost every day.

Sometimes, when the time couldn't be missed, he asked his eldest cousin Fang Jiahui to attend the opening of the franchise store on behalf of the company.

During this period, the Lean Decoration Company also held its first promotion meeting.

Yang Xingyu also took the time to attend. The effect of the promotion meeting was not particularly good, but it was not bad either. In addition to the agents arranged by the company itself, there were 5 owners who actually signed contracts with the company that day.

This means that the recently established Lean Decoration Company has five more houses that can be renovated.

It’s a good start.

In addition to these, Yang Xingyu also made a special trip back to his hometown.

Because the entirety of the self-built house at home was ready, his mother repeatedly called him on the phone to go back and take a look. In fact, Yang Xingyu already knew this news.

After all, his own decoration company was responsible for building the house in his hometown.

Every few days, the vice president in charge of this matter would call him to report on the progress of the project. It was difficult for him not to know.

Yang Xingyu could feel his mother's joy even through the phone.

So, he promised his mother to go back and take a look.

Because he knows that this self-built house in his hometown must be very important in the hearts of his parents. Now that the main body of the house is ready, his parents must want to share this joy with him.

When he returned to his hometown, he stood on the drying ground full of building materials and looked up at the newly built two-and-a-half-story building in front of him. Yang Xingyu was also happy in his heart.

With his current financial resources, he can also afford to build a ten-story building, let alone a two-and-a-half-story building.

But it is not necessary.

First of all, there are currently only three people in the family. He is not at home at all times. It is just his parents who live there. There is no point in building too many floors.

Secondly, he didn't want to be so high-profile and wanted to take care of the villagers' feelings. There were already some two-and-a-half-story buildings in the village. If his house was built as high as everyone else's, he would be less jealous.

He grew up here in the countryside, so he naturally understands the thoughts of the villagers.

Most of them think you are poor and hate you for being rich.

If your family is obviously poorer than others, people will laugh at you openly or secretly, and even bully you. But if your family is obviously richer than others, people will hate you.

So, sometimes it’s important to live with the light.

Just like this time when building his own house, Yang Xingyu not only required that the height of the house should not exceed two and a half floors, but also that it should not be significantly higher than all the houses in the village.

When it comes to decoration, the interior and exterior decoration should not be too good, and the main focus is to be low-key.

But when he returned home this time, he still felt from the teasing words of his neighbors that his house had made a big splash in the village.

Because... his family is the first family in the village to build a house with a frame structure.

Before his family built a house, the most extravagant construction method in the village was only a brick-concrete structure. The walls were built first, and then the beams, columns and roof were poured.

As for the frame structure of his house, the beams, columns and roof were poured first, and then the walls were built last.

It seems there is not much difference, but in fact? There are many masons in the village, and many of them know that the cost of building a frame structure is at least one-third higher.

This is very pushy.

Moreover, his home was also the first in the village to hire professional designers to design and build it with a professional construction team.

The whole process of building a house is different from other homes.

In response, Yang Xingyu just smiled and didn't say much.

There is a limit to how low-key he can be. He can be low-key on the height and appearance of the house, but he doesn't want to be low-key on the quality of the house.

He knew that after next year, they would no longer be allowed to build their own houses here, and he hoped that his house could last for decades more, and he wanted to leave it to his children in the future!

Naturally, we should try to build it as solidly as possible.

With the frame structure, if his children don't like the internal structure of the house in the future, they can demolish any wall of the house at any time and change the internal layout of the house.

He knew that his thoughts were a bit too forward. After all, he didn't even have a wife now, and he didn't know if he would be childless like his previous life.

However, he still wanted to think ahead.
