Wandering the world of film and television begins with the golden years

Wang Yongzheng is currently riding high. 😾♗ 🍟♟ (Google search reading)

He had just returned from abroad, but his design talent had already been recognized. Not long ago, he received an invitation from Shanghai TV's "All-Round Home Makeover King".

The production team wants him to be the makeover designer for the latest episode.

He had also watched the previous seasons of "Makeover King," and both the show's reputation and content were excellent. So, without much hesitation, he immediately accepted the show's invitation.

As for the girl he had a crush on when he bumped into her on the Shanghai campus a couple of days ago, he found out more about her through various channels. After all, a girl that pretty must be quite famous on campus.

Her original name was Jiang Nansun.

I heard she has a boyfriend, but Wang Yongzheng doesn't care at all. He's dated so many girlfriends before, some of whom even got married.

Anyway, all he wants to do now is date, and he doesn't want to rush into marriage. For Teacher Wang Yongzheng, dating is just an interesting diversion in life.

He has always believed that men should prioritize their careers, and the reason he returned to China this time was because there was a domestic construction project he wanted to participate in.

If the appearance on the show goes well, it will greatly help him secure the project he desires. As for Jiang Nansun, it's not too late to start planning after he finishes the show.

Wang Yongzheng boasts that he has quite a few tricks up his sleeve when it comes to pursuing girls. He has never doubted this, especially since the show would make him famous.

Perhaps Jiang Nansun will think more highly of him because of this. 🐯🐝 ❻➈𝓼нùⓍ.Ⓒ𝐎𝓜 ☮🍫

Wang Yongzai had long understood that he couldn't use the old tricks of sending flowers and gifts to win over a girl like Jiang Nansun; only romance and talent were the killer moves to conquer her.

Soon, Wang Yongzheng met the person who commissioned the house renovation, arranged by the program team. His name was Du Xing, and he was over sixty years old. He had spent his life farming and was a simple and warm-hearted old man from the countryside.

He also has three sons and two daughters, making his family large and prosperous. Grandpa Du's children are all quite successful and have settled down in the city without him having to worry about them.

Grandpa Du's children are all very filial, and there are no dramatic family conflicts. They even invited Grandpa Du to come to the city and live with them.

But Grandpa Du felt that living in the village was fine enough.

In the village, almost everyone knows each other. When they have free time, they often gather at the village store or other places like the village entrance to chat.

Normally, Grandpa Du would often visit other people's homes. If he really moved to the city, he wouldn't even be able to find an old lady to chat and boast with.

He can't stand this kind of loneliness!

Besides, he and Grandpa Wang across the street play two games of chess every day. Although their chess skills are not very good, they are at least evenly matched.

What if he goes to the city and his chess addiction kicks in?

Living in the countryside is very comfortable; you can be self-sufficient in everything.

If he went to the city, it would be very inconvenient for him to go out just to buy groceries. 🍧☠ 🐊♥ Unlike in his own yard where he could grow fruits and vegetables and raise chickens and ducks to enjoy when he was craving something delicious.

Grandpa Du firmly believes in the saying, "There's no place like home." He's getting old, and returning to his roots is the ultimate destiny for his generation.

However, despite all this, Grandpa Du still had a knot in his heart.

That is, he still misses his grandchildren very much. Although his children would bring their children to visit him during holidays, the whole family would come, which would be more than 20 people, and the old house was too dilapidated to accommodate them all.

They can only have a family reunion dinner together at most; even if their grandchildren want to stay a few more days, they can't. This makes Grandpa Du very sad. Adding to this, Grandpa Zhang, whose financial situation is not as good as his, has also built a two-story villa.

All of this made him extremely envious.

Grandpa Du looked at the old house and the idea of ​​renovating it came back to him. He thought of the TV show "All-Round Home Makeover King" that he had seen.

He noticed that this show always managed to transform houses from the ordinary to the extraordinary. They could take some really weird, dirty, and chaotic houses and, through the work of some designer, completely transform them.

The new house is both beautiful and practical. After watching several episodes, Grandpa Du became a loyal fan of the "All-Round Home Renovation King" program.

Now that his family's financial situation has improved, he has some spare money and savings. His children are all successful and no longer need his help.

Could he possibly bring this money to...?

He wanted to ensure a good life for himself and his wife, and also hoped that their children would come to stay often so that they could experience the conveniences of city life in the countryside.

Grandpa Du finally made up his mind.

Even if not for himself, he had to do it for his children. So, with the help of his eldest daughter, he excitedly and tremblingly dialed the hotline for "All-Round Home Renovation King".

……

On the other side, Wang Yongzheng braved the wind and sand of the northwest and arrived at Grandpa Du's home in the countryside.

Grandpa Du's house is a typical farmhouse courtyard in Northwest China. Although the courtyard is not large, there is enough space for some design.

Although the courtyard is old and rustic, it is small but complete, with bedrooms, storage rooms, chicken coops, cowsheds, and sheep pens, providing all the necessary functions for daily life.

Seeing so many people making such a fuss over his old house, Grandpa Du, being a hospitable man, immediately got up to greet everyone, poured tea, and served fresh fruits that he had prepared beforehand.

Wang Yongzheng noticed that the fruit bowl had turned slightly yellow.

He couldn't help but frown slightly, but he couldn't very well refuse outright.

He seized the opportunity to ask, "Sir, what are your housing renovation needs this time?"

After putting down the fruit, Grandpa Du took out a rolled-up cigarette from his breast pocket and said as he smoked it.

"Actually, it's nothing much. Just build it like the small villa next door. It's basically the most common two-story house in the countryside. As long as it's spacious, bright, impressive, and presentable, that's fine."

Wang Yongzheng nodded; it was just as he had expected.

However, this design is too bland and unremarkable. He's not a contractor; he's a designer. If he really only delivers a mediocre design...

So what was the point of him traveling all that way to this remote and impoverished place?

Wang Yongzheng immediately suggested to Grandpa Du, "Actually, the high-quality residential buildings in the city recently are all anti-high-rise buildings. The two-story design will lead to a disconnect from the natural landscape of the land and cause inconvenience in transportation."

"When land is not scarce, we usually do not recommend building it in a two-story form."

After Wang Yongzheng finished speaking, he added to make his point: "I am a professional architect; please trust my professional judgment."

After listening, Grandpa Du was in a dilemma. He didn't understand any professional advice. All he knew was that everyone else was building small two-story houses, so why couldn't he decorate his own?

He flicked his cigarette ash and said hesitantly, "Young man, you still don't want to change the two-story building, but I don't know anything about design, so I'll leave it all to you."

Wang Yongzheng was somewhat disappointed, as this still limited his performance to some extent.

But a small two-story building is fine; it won't affect him. Reducing the usable space on both floors won't affect his design concept.

Wang Yongzheng then began measuring the specific dimensions of the house and started drawing up renovation design sketches.

Such a simple house renovation was no challenge for him. His real concern was how to create a stunning design. This time, his work had to be something that would leave everyone in awe and amazement.

Wang Yongzheng held this mindset.

He stayed up all night writing tirelessly.
