Chapter 44 Moving

As long as there was money involved, speed would no longer be an issue.

At noon the next day, Zhou Fu took a middle-aged man who dressed in a suit and looked very competent to his house. He should be the person who worked for the construction company that Zhou Fu had been talking about.

When Zhou Yu saw this person, he was subconsciously nervous. The people from the society were indeed scary creatures.

After a brief instruction, the man in suit habitually took out a business card and said, “I am Li Hansheng, this is my business card. Mr. Zhou is really a person with unique and elegant interest. In such a beautiful environment, building a flower greenhouse will definitely be the icing on the cake.”

Flattering straight after the self-introduction, This man was truly skillful.

Zhou Yu could only timidly took over the business card. He couldn’t even introduce himself properly. Zhou Fu, who was standing on the side, knew what kind of person Zhou Yu was. So he immediately interrupted, “that’s enough elder Li, don’t use your persuasive talking skill here. This kid is determined to build a greenhouse. Help him to choose the most affordable plan. So you are worthy of being the old classmate of mine.”

So this Li Hansheng was Zhou Fu’s classmate. As he heard what he said, he opened his suitcase. Inside, there were piles of papers. All of them were about the materials, the prices and the style of the greenhouse that they could provide.

Zhou Yu did not understand these things at all. So Li Hansheng helped him make choices and Zhou Fu would make some suggestions on the side.

In terms of the style of the greenhouse, Zhou Yu already had a building plan. He walked back into the house and took out some papers. After Li Hansheng took over the paper and had a look, his eyes were instantly wide open.

“Oh my god, I didn’t know that Mr. Zhou is an expert in this field. Did you study Architectural Design at the university?”

The building plan was designed by the god-level carpenter Beaver. It was definitely a top design, and the various professional data were also very clearly marked on the paper.

Any contractors who knew how to read a building plan would definitely able to build it.

“A friend helped me design this. This is a model. Can you do it?” As he said he also took out a wooden building model, which was made according to the beaver’s design. Once it was placed on the table, it was very easy to get the whole picture of what the greenhouse would look like.

It was beautiful and in good taste. Moreover, it was full of classical beauty. It made Li Hansheng, who graduated with the architectural design degree, couldn’t even move his eyes from the model.

“No problem. I’m just wondering that if your friend is working for someone else at the moment? My company – Sunshine Construction really needs talented people like your friend.”

‘Er, this guy is too straightforward. He hasn’t even finished his construction business, but he already started to talk about hiring someone. It is a shame that he will not be able to see the carpenter beaver in his life.’

“Er… I don’t know. But it seems like he already has a job…”

“Alas, that’s really a shame. But please do pass a message for us. If your friend wants to change job, please do let us. We welcome him to join us at any time.”

Then Li Hansheng once again returned to the original business. He quickly began to measure the area and then drafted a construction plan. As Zhou Yu had expected, the cost was around 10k Chinese Yuan.

However, when Zhou Fu heard this price, he almost wanted to grab his friend by his collar and punch him in the face. Why would a simple greenhouse cost that much?

But then again, he didn’t understand the building plan. However, that model was indeed very pretty. ‘No wonder why everyone said that boy Yu was very good at woodwork. They were not exaggerating at all.’ he was amazed by the kid’s talent.

After paying the first installment of the construction fee, the deal was finally done. Li Hansheng was also very happy. But he couldn’t stay here for long. After a brief chat, he also left the place hurriedly. Once he gathered enough men, he would come back with material and the construction team.

After the greenhouse was finally sorted, Zhou Yu suddenly felt that something was not right. Only after a while did he realized that he had forgotten to ask them about the price to refurbish his old house.

“Uncle Beaver, could you design a new house with a yard for me please.”

Even the professional people also praised the beaver’s work and they even wanted to hire it. So it would be very stupid if he didn’t use the beaver more often.

The house and the yard, that were designed by it, must be very beautiful. And once both his yard and his house were completed, then he would be able to enjoy the life of living in a beautiful house.

“Okay, design fee 100 moe Coin!”

The beaver said resolutely. It did not give Zhou Yu any face at all. ‘That’s not fair! It did not ask for anything when designing the greenhouse!’ the smile instantly froze on his face.

“Greenhouse is for everyone. As a citizen of Luhua village, of course, I will not ask for money. But design a new house with a yard is for your personal pleasure. That’s totally different,” the beaver seemed to know what Zhou Yu was thinking, so it carried on.

‘Hmmm… it does make some sense.’

Zhou Yu could not find any other reasons to make the beaver change its mind, so he reluctantly paid 100 moe coins. When he got the blueprint on the second day, he was once again amazed by the beaver’s skill. The new housing model’s front and back wings formed two square courts with corridors all around it. Tranquil and cooling, it was like an isolated paradise. Living in this place would be a type of luxury only landlords and those with a long history of wealth could afford. 100 moe coins were indeed worth it.

……………………

A week later, Li Hansheng finally brought the material and the construction team over. They lived in a small hotel near the village. Every day morning they would come to Zhou Yu’s yard to do the work and leave when it was time to finish the work. There was no need for Zhou Yu to arrange the meals and the accommodations, so it saved Zhou Yu a lot of troubles.

Different to build a house, building a glass greenhouse was very quick. It only took them less than five days to finish it.

The walls of the tempered glass were quite dazzling under the sun. The completely transparent house also made the children very curious, and there were many other people came by to see the greenhouse every day. But when they heard that this strange house cost more than 10k Chinese Yuan, almost all of them gasped in shock. Such a small house and it was just one-story high, why did it cost so much to build one?

But then again, it also meant that the son of Zhou Hong really made a lot of money. No wonder why he would spend so much money on those kids.

“Young man, everyone will be able to see you naked if you sleep inside,” auntie Hehua immediately saw the downside of having a glass greenhouse. Her words instantly made everyone laugh out loud. Zhou Yu also did not bother to explain that it was not a bedroom. At the moment, he was busy moving all the building models and potted plants inside the greenhouse.

This was a tiring task

He could not place them however he liked. Every citizen of the ACG world had its own requirement. So the task of placing the models gave Zhou Yu a lot of headaches.

First, he needed to rearrange some soils and make a small platform in the middle of the greenhouse. Then he began to place all the building models on top of the platform. All the potted plants were also removed from the pot and re-planted onto the platform. Of course, it was also instructed by Tian Niang. So those potted plants would definitely survive.

After everything was done, a tiny village appeared in front of him. There were roads and trees. And in the middle of the platform was the old immortal crane’s Taoist temple. Its tall base became the mountain of this miniature village. Blow the miniature mountain, scattered all other building models.

The small platform was not very big. But in the future, there would definitely be more building models to be placed around them.

The citizens of the ACG world were very satisfied with the new living environment. But there was one thing that Zhou Yu felt very strange. It was that the first two citizens of the ACG world – the old dragon king and the carpenter beaver did not seem to want to live in the greenhouse.

“Hahaha, young man, don’t worry about this old man. It is not that this old man did not want to live in this greenhouse. It is that you are still unable to build the house that this old man needs,” the old dragon laughed and then left.

The chubby third dragon prince ran over to him and explained, “we like to live in the water. The only architect you have is the carpenter beaver. However, once the wooden house is soaked with water, it will rot very soon. So before you find a new architect, we can’t live in this village.”

And before he left, he still said to Zhou Yu, “brother Yu, remember, I want an ocean, a big, big ocean!”

‘Ocean my ass, I don’t have that ability’
