Song Yuwei bought this house at the right time. West Lake Impression Fengyue will be delivered to the user for decoration at the beginning of this month.
Make time to complete various fees such as deed tax and stamp duty, and the decoration style must also be determined as early as possible before you can find a decoration company to design the drawings and start work.
However, she was a layman when it came to decoration, so she asked Su Zelin for his advice.
"Boss, what style do you think is more suitable for my house?"
Although it is her own house, it was bought by someone else after all, and Su Zelin would often come to live here. Song Yuwei not only hopes that she likes it, but also hopes that Su Zelin can live comfortably there.
"Decoration is a matter of many different people, and everyone has their own favorite style and design elements."
"For example, some people like traditional classical style, so let's go for the Chinese style."
"If you like richness and luxury, choose European style; if you like boldness and roughness, choose American style; if you like originality and simplicity, choose Japanese style; if you like freshness and elegance, choose IKEA style; if you like simple and generous modern style, choose the best."
The gangster talked freely.
He definitely has a say in decorating the house.
Because in his previous life he owned eight properties, including two in Shenghai, where the company's headquarters is located, two in Jianglan, his hometown, and one each in Yuezhou, Shenzhen, Yanjing and Sanya.
Beijing, Guangzhou and Shenzhen are several large cities where business trips are often required. Whenever a gangster goes on a long trip, he or she almost always brings a secretary or other girlfriend with him or her. If they go to a hotel, their safety cannot be guaranteed and they may end up in the domestic area if they are not careful.
Even if the properties in these super cities are idle, they can be considered investments.
The apartment in Sanya was specially used for vacation. He liked this city because it had the cleanest and most beautiful sea in Xia Country. Occasionally, he could even go on a yacht to host a small Hai Tian Sheng Yan or something like that.
This does not include some properties during the transition period that were later sold. If we count the properties that were once owned, the number would definitely be over double digits.
In addition, each lover also has his own property, and Su Zelin also participated in the design of many of them. Coupled with the vision of the reborn, the idlers may not be as professional as the decoration designers, but in terms of taste, they are not necessarily inferior to the designers.
"Yuwei, you probably want to act European the most, right?"
Su Zelin asked, let’s briefly summarize the various decoration styles.
"Yes, Boss, how did you know?"
Song Yuwei was slightly moved, but she had never mentioned her plan to Su Zelin.
European style is quite popular in this era. It is luxurious and extravagant, which is very much to Song MM's taste. Besides, the house she owned before her family's business failed was also European style, so she has some sentimental feelings about it.
Su Zelin thought to himself, is there any need to say this? Because you like to show off, and the European style is good at showing off.
"Guess."
Su Zelin smiled and said, "But I don't think the European style is very suitable. How should I put it? The best decoration style depends not only on individual preferences, but also on the house. Your house is not big enough, less than 100 square meters. European style decoration can only work in open spaces, and it looks majestic and magnificent. If you force the European style, the complicated decoration will make the space look even narrower. If you change to that house with more than 160 square meters, you can barely install the European style. A large duplex is better!"
Song Yuwei nodded, not quite understanding.
However, the European style seems to be true, and it is basically installed in large villas.
Su Zelin added: "If you really like the feeling of luxury, I personally suggest that you can dress in a light luxury style!"
"Light luxury style?"
Song Yuwei's beautiful eyes lit up.
Light luxury also sounds quite fancy.
But she had never heard of this style.
This is normal because it is a style that gradually became popular in later generations.
“What is light luxury?”
Su Zelin explained: "This style is actually an advanced version of the modern style. It is dominated by light and elegant colors, with simple and generous hard decoration techniques, emphasizing the texture and high-end feel of the materials. At the same time, it is modified by adding exquisite elements to the soft decoration to create a low-key connotation and taste. In short, it is low-key luxury."
Low-key luxury
Song Yuwei was moved when she heard it.
In fact, she used to like to show off in a simple and crude way. However, after following Su Zelin for a long time, she gradually felt that that way of showing off was inferior.
So what is the best way to show off
For example, some nouveau riche like to invite people to dinner in five-star hotels or well-known Western restaurants, and the more sophisticated ones like to go to Michelin restaurants.
However, for Su Zelin, going to these places was not considered showing off, it was just having an ordinary meal.
One time, Song Yuwei and he went to an inconspicuous little restaurant in Lin'an.
Apart from being located in an elegant location in the West Lake Scenic Area, the hotel has almost no other highlights.
However, Su Zelin later told her that this hotel had hosted several generations of great men from the imperial court, and that high-ranking officials from the imperial court and all over the country often came here to check in. The hotel would not accept ordinary guests of lower status at all, and the number of guests per day was limited to no more than three. She had to wait in line for two months before she got a seat.
Song Yuwei was shocked at the time. The humble little restaurant suddenly became high-end.
As long as one has money, anyone can eat at five-star hotels and Michelin restaurants.
However, this is not a place you can dine in just because you have money.
Moreover, the chair you sat on might have been sat on by a former great man or senior leader of the imperial court, so the level of the chair is completely different.
There are many similar ways of showing off.
She felt that her boss was the kind of man who didn't seem to be bragging, but whose every word and action faintly exuded a sense of bragging.
It has less nouveau riche vulgarity and more taste and connotation.
Song Yuwei admired him very much. She didn't know when she started to yearn for and pursue this kind of low-key luxury. So she suddenly felt that the light luxury style proposed by Su Zelin was more to her liking than the European style.
Song MM made a decision quickly: "Okay, boss, let's decorate it according to the style you mentioned!"
Su Zelin was not surprised, because before her rebirth, Song Yuwei favored the light luxury style, and she would definitely be in trouble with his proposal.
He immediately found a decoration company and asked them to produce the drawings as required. Su Zelin reviewed them personally and made changes if he was not satisfied. Although the house was not very valuable, it was the first house for the first woman in his life, so he still had to put some thought into it and strive for perfection.
Half a month later, the decoration company started work.
Su Zelin paid 20% more than the original price and asked the decoration company to find the best craftsmen and the project must be completed to the highest standards.
Money makes things easier, and the decoration company was happy to meet a generous employer. They agreed immediately and did not dare to be perfunctory. They had contact with Su Zelin and found that this young man not only had high taste, but also knew a lot about decoration. He was not a foolish rich man with a lot of money, so there was no way to fool him.
The renovation period requirement is not high, it can be within three months. Slow work produces fine work. If you rush it, the quality cannot be guaranteed.
For a small three-bedroom apartment of 90 square meters, this time is more than enough.
On the second day after the renovation started, Su Zelin received a call from home.
"Son, your father and I are planning to go to Lin'an in the next few days."
"Mom, why are you coming to Lin'an?"
Su Zelin was a little confused.
"Can't we go check on you?"
Zhao Lixia on the other end of the phone said unhappily, "Son, you're about to graduate, and we haven't been to your school yet. We have to go and see what your university is like."
"It's just a small second-tier university, and it's just so-so. What's so good about it?"
Su Zelin disagreed.
"We are not just going to visit your school. We also plan to visit the company headquarters as investors. After all, we are also franchise investors of New Century. We have this right according to the franchise regulations."
Su Jianjun added.
It's both a personal and official matter, the scoundrel has nothing to say.
"Okay, then when will you come over?"
"Let's do it tomorrow. Tomorrow is not the weekend, so Panpan will be free. Then ask her to come out for dinner."
Zhao Lixia warned.
Even though Su Zelin and Qin Shiqing got together, the empress dowager couldn't let go of Huang Panpan and always felt that this girl was quite pitiful.
"Okay, tomorrow then!"
"… "
After hanging up the phone, Hunzi felt a little puzzled.
He always felt that the two elders' purpose of going to Lin'an was not as simple as just to see him.
I had no plans for this in the previous three and a half years, but now I suddenly say I want to come.
Maybe I'm overthinking it.
He turned around and found Song Yuwei: "Yuwei, my parents will be in Lin'an tomorrow. If nothing unexpected happens, they should come to the headquarters to take a look."
"Your parents are coming to headquarters?"
Song Yuwei was suddenly a little at a loss.
If I were my boss's official girlfriend, I wouldn't have to worry about meeting his parents, but now I feel inexplicably guilty.
"Boss, should I step aside for a moment?"
She said subconsciously.
"What are you avoiding?"
Su Zelin was amused by her: "They are just visiting the headquarters as franchise investors, they have no other intentions. Besides, as my assistant, you will be responsible for making tea and entertaining them."
"Ah, well, okay..."
Song Yuwei nodded reluctantly.
I felt uneasy but also a little curious at the same time.
I wonder what kind of people his parents are, as they can raise someone like the boss.
The next morning.
College of Finance campus, girls’ dormitory.
Huang Panpan was very excited.
She got the news from Hunzi yesterday that Su Jianjun and Zhao Lixia came to Lin'an and asked her to have dinner with them.
The junior high school girl has seen the Su family elders many times, but she was the one who went to the Su family every time.
This is the first time they have come to find me.
My uncle and aunt specially invited me to dinner, which means they didn’t treat me as an outsider.
Hard work pays off, and I have taken another crucial step towards becoming the daughter-in-law of the Su family!
For this purpose, she bought a new set of clothes yesterday and spent a long time dressing up in front of the mirror.
"Panpan, come on, you're already beautiful. Even if you're dating Senior Su, you don't have to be like this every time!"
The complainer is Lv Xiaoshuang, who is also the best roommate of junior high school girl and knows her very well.
Every time Huang Panpan loves beauty so much, it must be related to Su Zelin.
Speaking of which, my roommate is also pitiful. When she just entered college, she claimed that Su Zelin was her future boyfriend. As a result, two and a half years have passed and there is still no sign of this future.
Huang Panpan said with a smile: "Haha, Xiaoshuang, this time it's not as simple as a date with the senior, I also have to meet two very important people!"
"Oh, who is it?"
Lu Xiaoshuang asked curiously.
"Senior's parents, my future parents-in-law, are coming to Lin'an and have asked me to have dinner with them. Isn't it obvious that I already regard them as the future daughter-in-law of the Su family!"
Huang Panpan was a little proud.
Lu Xiaoshuang: “…”
Her roommate was particularly self-righteous, especially in her relationship with Su Zelin. She was no longer surprised by it.
Maybe it's because you go to Su's house all day during the holidays, so others treat you as Senior Su's friend and are just being polite.
Of course, you can just think about these things in your mind, but you can't say them out loud.
This is Huang Panpan's reverse scale, so it's better not to touch it, otherwise the relationship will easily break down.
The Samsung phone on the table rang, and it was Su Zelin calling.
"Yeah, got it, Senior. I'll be there right away."
The two hung up after chatting for only a few seconds.
Now is not the time to chat on the phone.
Su Zelin simply told her that his parents had already arrived in Lin'an.
They are now on their way to the Finance Institute, but it will take some time to get here from the highway intersection.
When Old Su was young, he traveled around doing business and also stayed in the provincial capital for some time. He was familiar with the traffic conditions in the university town, so there was no need for Su Zelin to pick him up. The two of them just had to wait at the School of Finance.
"Xiao Shuang, uncle and aunt are here, I have to go out!"
Huang Panpan was very happy.
She would not be as nervous as Song Yuwei, who was only happy to be recognized by her "future parents-in-law".
Suddenly remembering something, she said, "Oh, by the way, can you show me if there's anything messy in my hair or if my clothes are wrinkled?"
Lu Xiaoshuang: “…”
After meeting Su Zelin at the agreed place, the two arrived at the gate of the Finance Institute.
Su Jianjun knew where the School of Finance was, but he was unfamiliar with the road conditions inside the campus.
Less than a quarter of an hour after waiting, a black three-box sedan was seen approaching from afar. It was the same license plate number as Su Jianjun's Santana 2000.
The two of them hurried over to greet him.
The car window opened, and it turned out that Su Jianjun and Zhao Lixia were sitting in the driver's seat and the passenger seat.
"Uncle, aunt, you must be tired after driving all the way here from Jianglan?"
Huang Panpan greeted with a sweet smile.
"Haha, it's not bad. It's quite easy to drive on the highway. Your uncle Su didn't drive for long."
Zhao Lixia thought that Panpan was really sensible. He asked about our well-being as soon as he arrived, unlike the brat who didn't say a word and even didn't want us to come to Lin'an.
It would be great if the Xia Kingdom stipulated that its sons could marry two wives.
"Dad, we'll be out at half past six and arrive in Lin'an by nine, that's ok!"
Su Zelin gave Su Jianjun a thumbs up.
Although Jianglan is a small city, it still takes some time to leave the city. So, it only took a little more than two hours to travel 300 kilometers on the highway.
He is indeed a middle-aged man chasing the trend!
"Haha, although I'm not as young as you guys, your dad is still as good as ever!"
Old Su was a little proud.
"Come on, don't be so stubborn when you get older!"
The Queen Mother looked disgusted.
Then he glared at Su Zelin and said, "Your dad drives so fast, it's very dangerous, don't you know? And you're praising him. My son, I'm telling you, you should drive slower, and don't learn from your dad!"
"Don't worry, Auntie. I drive very steadily and slowly."
Huang Panpan also tried her best to protect Su Zelin.
However, my junior sister lied with her eyes open in front of the empress dowager.
In fact, Hunzi drives very wildly, even more so than Lao Su.
It is impossible to be slow, it is impossible to be slow in this life. In his previous life, Su Zelin even occasionally went to the racing club to play.
There were few cars in the country at that time, and the highway was very open and spacious. Even a business car like Passat, which excels in comfort but has poor handling and power, would have to speed up to some extent.
"Really?"
Zhao Lixia was skeptical.
This is not like his son's character.
He is a wild horse, much wilder than Su Jianjun when he was young.
"real!"
The junior high school girl remained calm.
"Well, that's good!"
Zhao Lixia nodded with satisfaction.
For some reason, Su Zelin was moved by his junior high school girl.
Having said that, Huang Panpan was really unconditionally good to herself, even to the point of blindness.
Not to mention lying, even if you do something bad, maybe she will tolerate you or even help you do it.
For example, one day I say to her, I have no money, let’s go steal batteries together.
Your junior high school sister might really go with you.
What a silly girl!
