The storefront and the attic above are not big in total, and it is a particularly square-shaped apartment. Naturally, it does not require too much design, but it needs to pay more attention to the decoration.
Therefore, Zhuo Shao quickly got the drawings and started construction.
After all, it’s not for living people. You only need to install two water pipes, and it’s not difficult to pull up the wires. If it’s on the ground…
Zhuo Shao is very simple, directly laying white floor tiles.
If you want to look different, you can get some carpets of various styles and spread them. He is in a hurry to open the business, so he will not toss the floor tiles with many patterns.
After all, those floor tiles are also quite expensive, and it takes time to lay them.
One of his former local tyrant clients made marble mosaics at home, that is, marbles cut out patterns and put them together, and it cost 20,000 to 30,000 yuan for a single toilet wall.
He has no money now, so he won't bother about it... To reflect the luxury of European-style decoration, a large rug is placed under the sofa and coffee table, which looks pretty good.
Zhuo Shao’s decoration was very simple, and he paid more attention to the furniture decoration in the later period, so in just ten days, he completed the hard decoration of his three storefronts.
And these ten days, he has been living on the construction site.
In the attic above, he set aside a room for himself to live in, and these days, he has been living in that room with the workers.
This house is not renovated by Zhuo Shao, and his money will be used on the edge of the knife, so he will not build this house for the time being. He pulled the wires in the house, painted the walls casually, and covered the floor with the ones used for weddings or other ceremonies. Plant a red carpet to prevent too much dust on the cement floor, buy a few simple beds, and move in directly.
The kind of red carpet that people use for weddings or something is really cheap. It looks pretty good when laid. It is obviously a simple house with no cement on the ground. After such a laying, Zhuo Ting actually wants to Go up and roll...
In this era, many people do choose to lay this kind of red carpet at home. Of course, the red carpet at home must be thicker than those used at ceremonies.
In the past ten days of decoration, Zhuo Shao has mostly used it to make ceilings, and in order to speed up the speed and save money, Zhuo Shao also got started.
It is very frustrating to do carpentry in winter.
Even if the boards you buy are polished, they can't be too smooth. There must be wood thorns on them. Those woodworkers who have been doing it for several years basically have a thick layer of calluses on their hands, and they will not be hurt, but Zhuo Shao is not even sixteen now.
Even if he kept wearing gloves when he could, Zhuo Shao's hands were inevitably stabbed with some wood thorns. At the same time, Da Lengtian's hands-on work caused his hands to crack.
Of course, it is impossible for workers to buy those expensive hand creams. They usually buy glycerin or urea ointment to wipe their hands, and there are even Kaisai lotions made of glycerin to wipe their hands.
It was the first time that Zhuo Shao knew that Kaisailu could still be used like this, and then he thought, if this thing is used, it will be a kind of lubricating artifact...
But he was just thinking about it.
As an older virgin, he has never had the experience of helping others lubricate.
No, he is not an old virgin now, he is very young at the moment, and in this life, he should be able to be broken at a young age.
Thinking of this, Zhuo Shao was full of energy.
In order to save trouble, Zhuo Shao put white tiles on the ground and wallpaper on the walls.
Even though some brick-and-mortar stores are very expensive for wallpaper, people who know it can buy it at a very low price. However, the glue for sticking wallpaper needs to be carefully selected.
The wallpaper Zhuo Shao didn't spend any money. After he left a product guide book from the manufacturer that produced the wallpaper, the manufacturer posted it for him in person. The chandeliers, furniture and curtains that he will use later can also do the same...
Seeing that it was almost noon, Zhuo Shao, who made some simple decorations with excess wood, took a needle and began to pick the wood thorns on his fingers.
"Zhuo Shao, what are you doing?" When Liang Chen came over, he was shocked when he saw Zhuo Shao stabbing his finger with a needle.
These days, Zhuo Shao lives on the construction site and does not live with Liang Chen and the others, but after the two children are out of school, Liang Fang brings them to Zhuo Shao every day.
They would have a meal here with Zhuo Shao every night, and then leave for a while, and before they came, Zhuo Shao would usually take care of himself and change his clothes.
But today, Liang Chen came at noon, but he didn't have time to do anything.
"Why did you guys come so early today?" Zhuo Shao put down the needle in his hand and asked with a smile.
"This morning, the winter vacation classes are all over." Liang Chen said, and his eyes fell on Zhuo Shao's hands again.
A few days ago, he came here every day, but he had never seen Zhuo Shao like this - now Zhuo Shao is dirty and his hands are dry and swollen, he helped Zhou Zhengqiang better than when he was in Fuyang County before. It looks even worse when it comes to renovations.
Liang Chen felt sour in his heart. The training courses he went to took only 20 days, and it cost thousands of dollars. What about Zhuo Shao? But so hard...
Zhuo Ting's eyes turned red: "Brother."
"I'm fine, it's always a little harder when starting a business." Zhuo Shao smiled, he really didn't think it was anything, after all, he had experienced this before.
"But..." Liang Chen was still a little confused.
"It's really nothing." Zhuo Shao said, he had already picked out the thorns on his hand, and said, "I'll take a bath and then make lunch for you." He was fine in the afternoon and could change his dirty clothes. down.
Zhuo Shao took a shower, changed his clothes, took out a large pot of urea cream and smeared some on his hands and face, then asked, "What would you like to eat?" I don't know if the two children are used to eating.
As for Liang Fang, he probably had something to do, so he didn't come.
Before they came, Liang Chen and Zhuo Ting had discussed that they wanted Zhuo Shao to cook something delicious for them, but now...
"I want to eat egg fried rice." Liang Chen said.
"And seaweed soup." Zhuo Ting said.
There are many workers in Zhuo Shao who eat, and most of the rice is made more often. There is always no shortage of cold rice. It is the easiest to make fried rice with eggs, and the seaweed soup is even easier. Just boil some hot water and soak it.
Zhuo Shao knew that they were distressed for him, and he also received this distress, but in addition to egg fried rice and seaweed soup, he also gave them some of the braised chicken legs and stir-fried vegetables that the workers ate.
After the three were full, Zhuo Shao began to design the layout of each room. By the way, he also designed the undecorated room he planned to live in in the future.
Zhuo Shao recently lived with the workers, but after he received the order in the provincial capital, he would definitely rent another house for the workers to live in.
He didn't want to live in the same room with someone else all the time.
Just because of this plan, he asked the person who put the wallpaper to put wallpaper on the room where they lived now. As for the future... He plans to carpet the whole room in the future, put on the bed, table, computer, etc.
It is actually very cheap to buy chemical fibers without wool for carpets. The cost of laying carpets will be much cheaper than that of floor tiles, and there will be no bugs.
As for the carpet, it will get dirty after a long time... By that time, the house in Fenghe Jiayuan that Liang Fang gave him must have been handed over, and he will not still live here.
Today is the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the Lantern Festival.
After Liang Chen and Zhuo Ting had lunch, they stayed on Zhuo Shao's side and didn't want to go back. Zhuo Shao didn't chase them away, and even let them go into the evening. Then at eight o'clock, they cooked a large pot of Dumplings for them and the workers.
The dumplings were bought by Zhuo Shao. There are two kinds of sesame seeds and red bean paste. He didn't like them, but Liang Chen and Zhuo Ting liked them very much. Everyone ate a small bowl full of them.
They wanted to eat more, but Zhuo Shao didn't dare to give them too much glutinous rice because he was afraid that he would not digest it.
"Brother, mom can also make dumplings filled with meat." After Zhuo Ting finished eating, she mentioned Zhuo's mother again.
When Zhuo's mother was free, she was very willing to study food for her two children, and in Zhuo Shao's memory, she did make meat-filled dumplings.
His father didn't like sweet glutinous rice balls, so his mother bought a bag of glutinous rice flour and wrapped the meat filling by herself.
The dumplings are not easy to wrap. In the end, the meat dumplings made by his mother were big, not very round, and not very tasty, but when I recall them now, I miss them a lot.
Zhuo Shao was a little disappointed, but Liang Chen's eyes widened in surprise - glutinous rice balls, and meat fillings? !
The next day, Zhuo Shao went back to Fuyang County to see Shen Xinghuo.
The provincial capital can take a while, but now he has to do a good job, or the decoration of Shen Xinghuo's hotel box.
Zhuo Shao has already designed all the boxes of Shen Xinghuo's restaurant.
What Shen Xinghuo asked for was luxury. At this time, the people of Fuyang County didn't like personalization.
The dark golden mirror material is very suitable for sticking to the wall. The floor tiles can be put together in different colors. In some places, you can try to wrap the wall with leather.
Of course, the leather they use can't be genuine leather, it's all artificial.
In fact, artificial leather is much easier to take care of than real leather.
Shen Xinghuo's new restaurant has made a lot of money for Shen Xinghuo in the fifteen days of the new year. When Shen Xinghuo was decorating it, he was also a lot more generous, choosing some complicated ceilings.
It took Zhuo Shao two days to change the design, get the decoration budget right, and signed a contract with Shen Xinghuo to determine the start time.
It was at this time that Li Zhezhi found Zhuo Shao and gave Zhuo Shao 18,000 yuan: "Your debt, I will help you get it back."
"Thank you." Zhuo Shao thanked with a smile.
"You don't have to say thank you to me, but I want to say thank you." Li Zhezi took out a cigarette and lit it, looking in a good mood, and asked Zhuo Shao, "Do you want a cigarette?"
Zhuo Shao didn't smoke, he refused without thinking, and it was a little strange: "Why do you want to thank me?"
"Thank you for helping me find a good way!" Li Zhezi said, he has been thinking about what he will do in the future, but he has never thought about it, and now, he knows what he can do in the future! "I plan to do this job in the future, to help people get debts!"
Many factories have been owed goods on credit and often cannot get the money back.
Li Zhezi pondered that he could help to ask for money and take a cut of the money after he got it back.
He believed that those factories would definitely be willing!
Zhuo Shao was stunned for a moment, and then he soon understood what Li Zhehe was going to do. He was a money lender in his last life, and he wanted to help open a company and help people get debt!
"Be careful." Zhuo Shao reminded.
"Then why do you need to tell me?" Li Zhezi said, suddenly remembering something: "By the way, I have something to tell you... Your uncle, he is a little wrong."
"What's wrong?" Zhuo Shao asked
"A few days ago, I kept people staring at him and found that he was bullying other girls... Of course, he didn't really do anything, just touched them a few times, and was scared away by me later." Li Zhezhi said.
Zhuo Shao's face turned black, and his hands trembled uncontrollably.
Zhuo Rongming died at his hands in his last life because he wanted to bully Zhuo Ting.
After Zhuo Shao was reborn, he asked Zhuo Ting in a side-by-side manner, and learned that such a thing had never happened. He also observed Zhuo Rongming and found nothing, but he still thought that Zhuo Rongming would do this in his previous life, and he annoyed him. The reason, it wasn't
Li Shizhe had already left, but Zhuo Shao felt a chill all over his body.
At the same time, I feel a little careless.
He has been busy with his career and doesn't want his life to be stained, so he has never really done anything to the Zhuo family, but now...
Zhuo Shao thought about it, and that afternoon, he went to Shen Xinghuo to buy some food, and then took it to the police station.
"Zhuo Shao, why are you here? Are you here to ask about the progress?" Chang Zhou saw that Zhuo Shao was a little curious, and after thinking about it, he thought that Zhuo Shao was here to ask about the progress of Liang Chen's kidnapping case.
The judicial system cannot act too quickly... The two kidnappers have been imprisoned, but due to the Chinese New Year, the verdict has not yet come down.
"No, Uncle Chang, I have other business for you." Zhuo Shao distributed the food in his hand, and then followed Chang Zhou into Chang Zhou's office.
"Tell me, what do you have to ask me?" Chang Zhou asked, then looked at Zhuo Shao a few times, and finally said: "Young man, you are very good, you can find someone to help you get a debt, and yourself Can't do it?"
That Qu Guixiang had already reported to the police several times. Of course, Chang Zhou could not have been unaware of the affairs of the Zhuo family, and he also knew that Li Zhehe should be the one that Zhuo Shao went to ask for the debt.
He doesn't like Zhuo Shao very much, and thinks that this person is too ambitious and utilitarian, but Liang Fang admires Zhuo Shao very much, and he didn't say anything when he met with Liang Fang before.
In fact, there is nothing to say, even if Zhuo Shao has ambitions, he should just want to take advantage of Liang Fang, and it is impossible to harm Liang Fang.
People like Zhuo Shao usually have a clear mind and won't offend people easily.
There were several police officers in the police station who always felt that Zhuo Shao was pitiful, but Zhuo Shao saw Chang Zhou's expression and listened to him talking, and knew that he was not one of them.
That's fine, he doesn't need to wear anything.
"I'm already very friendly to their family." Zhuo Shao smiled.
"I know, if you really do something, I definitely won't let you be so free." Chang Zhou said, his attitude towards Zhuo Shao is still very good, because Zhuo Shao wants debts and debts, and did not harm anyone.
Zhuo Shao smiled: "Don't worry, Officer Chang, I definitely won't do anything illegal or criminal. I just want to be a good person."
"Okay, I believe you... By the way, you came to me, what's the matter?" Chang Zhou asked.
"I want to say something... about my uncle." Zhuo Shao said.
"Are you going to expose him?" Chang Zhou frowned. He knew that Zhuo Rongming, although a little outrageous, was very timid and didn't look like someone who would make big mistakes. This Zhuo Shao must have framed him. what
"No," Zhuo Shao said, "I have no evidence to accuse him of anything, but... he likes children."
Chang Zhou didn't understand for a while, Zhuo Shao paused, and then said again: "My eldest uncle likes little girls, and he also had his thoughts on my sister before. If my aunt was not at home all day, he would have been at home long ago. If it succeeds, I am now afraid that he will hurt other girls."
In Zhuo Rongming's previous life, after he dropped out of school to fight Zhuo Jiabao, and after Qu Guixiang went to the new house to take care of Zhuo Jiabao, he began to do something to Zhuo Ting.
His courage should be really small, until he died, he didn't really do anything to Zhuo Ting, but Zhuo Ting was hurt a lot in the end, and he has been mentally unhealthy since then.
Zhuo Shao felt very guilty for this in his last life, but it was too late.
And in this life, Zhuo Ting can no longer be hurt by him, but what about other girls
Zhuo Shao didn't want to go to jail any more, so he couldn't do anything for Tian, so he could only tell Chang Zhou about it and let him keep an eye on it.
"Uncle Chang, I hope you don't tell me about this. My sister is young and doesn't quite understand it, and I haven't told anyone." Zhuo Shao said.
Chang Zhou nodded and looked at Zhuo Shao with a solemn expression.
He didn't expect such a thing to happen!
Chang Zhou has already been a father for a long time, and he hates such behavior the most. He is disgusting to Zhuo Rongming, but his perception of Zhuo Shao is much better.
After Zhuo Shao left the police station, he thought about it, went to Li Zhezi again, gave Li Zhezi two thousand dollars, and asked Li Zhezi to look at Dian Zhuo's family: "I hate that family, you help me look at Dian Zhuo's family. They, if someone in their family does something bad, please help to call the police."
"No problem." Li Zhezi took the money and agreed without thinking: "If they do something bad, I will help you call the police and send them to the police station!"
Li Zhezhi thought that Zhuo Shao just wanted to take revenge on the Zhuo family and didn't think much about it, but Zhuo Shao did this because he didn't want anyone to be hurt.
He saved Zhuo Ting, but he could never harm others.
After going to the police station and looking for Li Zhezi again, Zhuo Shao felt more relieved and began to do his own business again.
In Shen Xinghuo's restaurant, the central air conditioner was installed first. Shen Xinghuo hired a special plumbing company to do this work. Zhuo Shao himself didn't know much about this, so he didn't intervene, but planned to take advantage of this. After a while, get your driver's license.
He can drive himself, and he has a good understanding of traffic rules. In addition, the driver's license test is not very strict at this time, so the test is naturally very simple. It is estimated that he can pass the test in a month.
However, before getting his driver's license, Zhuo Shao has one more thing to do.
That is to send Liang Chen and Zhuo Ting to school.
Primary school and junior high school were reported on the same day. Zhuo Shao thought about it and finally decided to send Zhuo Ting to school first, and then to send Liang Chen.
Liang Fang contacted Zhuo Ting from a private primary school in the provincial capital. It costs 10,000 yuan including accommodation and food for one year of study, which is very, very expensive, but the quality of teaching is also good.
At this moment, people in the provincial capital have attached great importance to the education of their children, but they are still not as good as later generations. It is not difficult to enter private primary schools, and there is no need for an interview. Easy to do.
However, Zhuo Ting was very uneasy: "Brother, I should not go..." Ten thousand yuan! It costs so much money to study by yourself!
When Zhuo Ting was very young, she knew from the broken-mouthed people in the village that she was picked up. Although Zhuo's father and mother were very kind to her, she still subconsciously behaved more well-behaved.
For example, in housework, Zhuo Shao wanted to intervene, but Zhuo's mother refused, so he would not do it, but Zhuo Ting would not do this, and would often insist on helping.
Later, when she went to Qu Guixiang, she was scolded by Qu Guixiang all day long for losing money and for eating plain rice. She knew better that her identity was different, and even once accepted the future that she would marry after graduating from junior high school.
In the past six months, her brother suddenly changed and became very powerful, but Zhuo Ting became cheerful again, and with the encouragement of Zhuo Shao, she decided to go to university and find a good job in the future.
But now...
10,000 yuan a year in elementary school is still a bit unacceptable to her - before she only needed to pay 400 yuan for a semester!
Her brother worked so hard to make money, but she spent so much money, wouldn't it be bad
"Tingting, my brother is not short of money." Zhuo Shao could see Zhuo Ting's thoughts at a glance, and smiled: "And didn't you promise your brother to study hard? In the future, after you graduate from college, you will come to your brother's company, Help your brother do something!"
Zhuo Shao persuaded for a while, and then Zhuo Ting, who was a little sincere and frightened, gave up the idea of not going to study.
"Yes, that's the way to be good. In fact, it's good for your brother if you go to that school. If you live in the school, your brother doesn't have to worry about your affairs. You can start a business with peace of mind and open a big company in the future." Zhuo Shao road.
Zhuo Ting finally felt much more relaxed, and finally nodded solemnly: "Brother, you must be able to open a big company."
Liang Chen also felt that Zhuo Shao would definitely be able to open a big company, and at the same time, he was also grateful to Liang Fang.
The school his father taught him is also very expensive...
Zhuo Ting's registration was quickly completed. Zhuo Shao went to her dormitory, helped her make the bed, and briefly chatted with the aunt who took care of her life before leaving.
Two days later, Zhuo Ting's school will be on vacation. The main purpose of these two days is to let them get used to it. Zhuo Shao has nothing to worry about. He quickly bids farewell to Zhuo Ting and sends Liang Chen to school.
H City Foreign Language School is getting closer and closer, Zhuo Shao is inevitably worried about Liang Chen's life in the school, but Liang Chen's heart is beating faster and faster.
Will they meet that pen pal of Zhuo Shao
