My Pokémon Story of Seasons

Chapter 124 Better Life Construction Company

The construction company is cool and quiet, a stark contrast to the hustle and bustle outside.

A woman in business attire greeted us with a smile: "Welcome to Beautiful Life Construction Company. How can I help you?"

Tong Hua then realized that she was still holding Kan's hand, and quickly let go, her ear tips turning slightly red.

Feng casually tucked her stray hairs behind her ears, her eyes darting to the side as she pretended to examine the architectural models in the exhibition hall.

"I want to build a house on the ranch," Tong Hua said, trying to sound professional. "It needs running water and electricity, and it needs to be in a modern style."

The staff member nodded knowingly: "Please come with me, I will take you to the meeting room for a detailed discussion."

You can leave your Pokémon at the storage area, or you can bring them with you if you wish.

Tong Hua nodded upon hearing this: "I'll keep it with me."

"Okay, please follow me."

After the staff finished speaking, they led Tong Hua and her entourage to a private meeting room.

At the same time, another man in a suit and glasses walked in. He looked very shrewd and capable, and seemed to be a higher-level employee than the woman in charge of reception.

"This is our company's designer. Please feel free to discuss any needs you may have with him." The woman said with a smile and then turned to prepare tea for the people present.

The man sat opposite Tong Hua and pushed up his glasses.

Are you planning to build a new house from scratch on your own land?

Tong Hua nodded.

"Has your ranch never had electricity or water before?"

Tong Hua nodded again.

"Understood." The man took out a pen and paper and started writing and drawing on it.

"So, what specific requirements do you have regarding the area and functionality? For example, the number of floors, the number of rooms, and the size of the kitchen?"

The man asked a series of questions, which Tong Hua answered one by one.

The discussion was long and tedious, and the wind carried the Pokémon to wander around outside the meeting room.

Only Pickpocket Cat, Sweetie, and Foam Chipmunk stayed behind, sitting obediently beside Tong Hua.

"As you can see from our situation, the larger the area, the better. As for the number of floors, two floors should be enough."

As for the rooms, there's one master bedroom, two guest bedrooms, and a playroom for the Pokémon.

The kitchen and dining room are on the first floor, as is the living room. Toilets and bathrooms should be on each floor, and ideally, each bedroom should have its own ensuite bathroom.

As Tong Hua spoke, she recalled the house she lived in in her previous life, trying to make sure that every detail was exactly the same.

"I understand—" The bespectacled man opposite her wrote down all of Tong Hua's requests and did calculations on the paper.

After a while, the man handed the paper in his hand to Tong Hua, on which a preliminary design sketch had been drawn.

The blueprints clearly show the structure of the two-story building. The first floor has a spacious open kitchen and living room, while the second floor has three bedrooms and a Pokémon activity room. Each bedroom has its own bathroom.

This is completely in line with Tong Hua's requirements.

"Based on your requirements," the designer adjusted his glasses, "the initial estimate is a budget of 1500 million, including material costs, transportation costs, construction costs, as well as the cost of water pipes and grid connection. The construction period is approximately 45 days."

Tong Hua looked at the blueprints, his eyes lighting up. This was exactly the home of his dreams!

The three Pokémon also came over, curiously looking at the blueprints.

"Is there anything else you'd like to add?"

Tong Hua stared at the blueprints, then suddenly thought of something.

The budget is 1500 million, which is significantly less than the 2000 million that Acorn had previously mentioned, but he only has about 350 million now...

His original plan was to save up 20 million by June, but he obviously forgot to consider the construction period required for building the house. "Um—do you support installment payments here?" Tong Hua asked somewhat embarrassedly. "I can pay the down payment first, and settle the rest before completion."

"Well, I'm afraid," the designer pushed up his glasses, about to refuse, when suddenly someone pushed open the door from the other side of the reception room.

"President!"

Upon seeing this person, the designer immediately stood up respectfully.

Tong Hua turned her head and looked around, only to find that the president of the Beautiful Life Construction Company looked somewhat familiar. "Are you Meimei's father?"

The man in front of me is none other than Meimei's father, whom I met briefly with Tong Hua last month in the Wind-Swept Forest.

Since that day, Tong Hua has never seen Mei Mei again. She heard that Mei Mei and Mu Mu had become very good friends, and Mei Mei often invited Mu Mu, who lived in the forest, to their home.

"Your name is Tong Hua, right? It's been a long time."

Meimei's father reached out his hand, and Tonghua quickly grasped it.

"I just heard you're going to build a new house?"

The Happy Dessert Shop at Fairy Tale Ranch is a hot topic in Windswept Town right now; your desserts are really delicious.

"Thank you for the compliment." Tong Hua smiled and scratched his head.

"You just said you wanted to pay in installments, right?"

No problem, I believe in the potential of Fairy Tale Ranch.

I'll cover the shortfall for you, and you can pay me back slowly later. Consider it a reward for taking care of my Meimei before.

Tong Hua was so surprised that she couldn't speak, and could only bow deeply to express her gratitude.

"Oh my god!" "Terrifying!"

Although they didn't quite understand, Sweet Wuni and Foam Squirrel followed Tong Hua's example and bowed.

"No need to be so polite." Meimei's father adjusted his glasses. "If you really want to thank us, please send some of your local signature desserts to our Meimei in the future."

When I sent someone to buy some last time, I heard they were almost sold out.

"Of course, no problem!" Tong Hua nodded excitedly. "From now on, Meimei can just tell me what desserts she wants, and I'll have a messenger bird deliver them right away!"

Afterwards, Meimei's father had the designer help Tong Hua sign the contract. Tong Hua repeatedly checked the details and solemnly pressed her fingerprint on the document.

When I left the construction company, the flow of people outside had eased considerably.

Tong Hua held the contract tightly in her hand, her face beaming with unbelievable joy.

"Great!" He couldn't help but pick up Mini Fu and spin her around. "Construction on the new house has finally started!"

"Fufu! Fufu——"

Mini Fu was spinning around until he was dizzy, but he still shouted happily. Sweetie and Bubble Chipmunk also excitedly jumped around him.

Feng stood aside, watching with a smile, and suddenly said, "How lucky you are! It just so happens that the president of this company is willing to help you." Hearing this, Tong Hua's lips curled up slightly: "Those who are virtuous will receive much help. This is all the result of my usual good deeds!"

However, I'll have to work even harder from now on. A debt of over 1200 million is no small matter!

Tong Hua immediately became highly motivated. He had earned the previous 350 million in just over a month, but how long would it take to earn the next 1200 million?

Anyway, Tong Hua's idea hasn't changed: she must end all of this before June, that is, before summer arrives!

"Then let's start working overtime tonight!"

Tong Hua's eyes blazed with determination. "In short, we'll first raise prices, then make more desserts, increase the variety of dishes on the menu, and expand production."

The pickpocket cat jumped onto his shoulder at just the right moment and patted his head with its paw, as if cheering him on.

"However, the most important thing is to use electrical appliances first. Without refrigeration to keep things fresh, even if you make a lot of desserts, they won't last long until they are sold out."

Therefore, the first thing Tong Hua planned to do after returning home was to buy a batch of electrical appliances.

After construction begins in a few days, in addition to digging the foundation, we also need to connect water and electricity as soon as possible!

A good life starts with running water and a refrigerator!
