Signing-In: The Lazy Moon Goddess-Chapter 6 - 00 - Jade Construction
Chapter 6: 006: Jade Construction
When the sisters met, they restarted their shopping. After hearing that Mr. Chen Huan had allowed her sisters to get whatever they wanted in the mall unpaid for today, she didn't know whether to get embarrassed. She chatted with Mr. Chen Huan and said she would pay for everything, but the kind uncle said it should be done as it was his gift for her two younger sisters. Yue Xuexia had no choice but to accept it and promise to give Mr. Chen one favor she could fulfill in the future.
There are some guards following them from a distance. Whenever they bought things, these men would take over and let them roam around freely without carrying anything. They are professional enough not to bother their shopping and the other guests. That's why Yue Xuexia left them alone.
They started a shopping spree and went to the salon for a few hours until the two finally got tired of walking. The youngest got her dream perm short colored hair, while the second youngest got highlights and rebound. Yue Xuexia just asked for a hair treatment. They went and stayed in the Starb*cks Café and took a short break.
Yue Ruxia said, "So tired. Can't walk anymore."
"Who told you to run all over the mall like a headless chicken," said Yue Jixia.
Yue Xuexia said, "Take a rest. What do you want to drink?"
Yue Ruxia, "Pink Drink."
"Iced Caramel Macchiato," said Yue Jixia.
Yue Xuexia asked, "Do you want cakes?"
"I want the Chocolate Crepe cake!"
"Same for me!"
Yue Xuexia said, "Wait here! I'll go order." as she headed for the counter after settling her siblings at the open table within the cafe.
The interior of the café was simple yet elegant. Two long tables were aligned. These tables look similar to the long ones from the library, which are free for groups or individuals to sit together. This corner is usually occupied by customers coming in large groups. There are also some circular tables scattered throughout the area.
The interior of the cafe is air-conditioned, and it was centralized for the customers to share. The smoking area is located just outside the store. There are large umbrellas on each table, which have a secure shade even if the sun is all up in the middle of the day. The trees nearby the store's other entrance were enough to keep the smoking area shaded and free from direct sunlight. Smokers can openly smoke a stick cigarette in this area.
The three sisters were staying in the non-smoking area. Once Yue Xuexia got their orders, she returned to their tables and placed their drinks and cakes on them. Her two sisters started enjoying the cold drink, which lessened a bit of their fatigue and happily devoured the cake.
Yue Jixia remembered Mr. Chen giving them the car key saying her sister's assistant sent it over.
"Dajie, Uncle Chen said to pass this car key to you. He had also sent people to send our things to your car."
Hearing about cars and assistants, Yue Xuexia was confused at first until she heard her system communicate in her head.
[Since you already know how to drive, I've placed your car in the parking lot of this mall. I will show you the direction later when you look for it.]
'Thank you, System.'
[I'm just doing my job. By the way, don't worry about that human called Tian. I will handle him.]
'Grandpa Tian is kind. Please don't bully him too much.'
[I won't. I know what I mean.]
'I will leave it to you.'
Yue Xuexia calmly accepted the car keys of Rolls-Royce Dawn and checked on her phone while drinking her frappe.
Yue Ruxia asked, "Sis, you know how to drive a car? Plus since when did you buy a car and that assistant? You have so many secrets~"
"Don't guess. I will tell you. The assistant is someone whom I hired to handle some of my stock exchange accounts. I had a lot so I hired him to handle that end and a few errands. I learned to drive when I'm interning. As for the car, I bought it online for Papa. Our car is so old, I wanted to replace it. Well, I will bring you guys to a car shop to buy your own cars once we bought a new house. But first, we should check for a good location. What do you guys want? A fully furnished mansion or do you want to design it ourselves?" asked Yue Xuexia.
Yue Jixia commented, "No one is an architect in our family. We should just buy an already built one. Let's look for one which can let us choose house structures."
"If we leave, what would happen to our current house?" asked Yue Ruxia.
Yue Xuexia answered, "We grew up there. I want to keep it as it is. I will have someone look after it when it is fully repaired. But it's better to ask papa what he planned to do about our current house. For the new one, I will ask my assistant to find a good location for the already built houses and send us the pictures for both exterior and interior. As a mama, to choose with us which is better."
"Good Idea!" said the two sisters.
[I will survey some for you as you wish. But don't you wish to wait for the sign-in reward to give you a house?]
Yue Xuexia said in her mind, 'Having more houses as assets shouldn't be a problem. Moreover, I want to let my family enjoy the feeling of choosing their new house themselves.'
[As long as that is your wish.]
On Yue Xuexia's phone, countless bank notifications were once again floating on her screen.
[Your bank card account ending with 5567 had transferred money worth 500,000 rmb in the account under Miss xxx from Autumn Field landbank at 2:05 am. Your current saving balance is 100,932,000.00 rmb (Autumn Field landbank)]
[Your bank card account ending with 5578 had been credited with 7,000 rmb to Starb*cks Cafe at 3:30 am. Your total savings is now 100,925,000 rmb.]
Yue Xuexia spoke, "By the way, I've opened new savings accounts on Autumn Field Bank for all of us. They said we can choose our own card color. What color do you like?"
Yue Jixia, "Bank card? Any color will be allowed? Is it customized?"
Yue Xuexia nods her head.
Yue Ruxia said, "I want a pink one then."
"White for me," said Yue Jixia.
"Noted. I'll ask ma and pa too. Also, tell them not to pick us up because I bought a car. Actually, let's go buy some take-out and head home early. Or is there something else you need to buy?" asked Yue Xuexia.
Yue Ruxia said, "I want some donuts. Let's buy Kr*spy-Kreme."
"Sure. What about you, Xiao Ji?"
Yue Jixia looked at the drink in her hand and said, "Can we buy another drink?"
"Go ahead. I will order some groceries online to be sent home. Go buy me another cup to go to." said Yue Xuexia.
Yue Ruxia said, "I'll buy it."

Meanwhile, at Mama Yue and Papa Yue's side...
This happened after they sent the sisters to the Marigold Mall. They went back to their district and looked for a famous place for the reconstruction of houses. At first, Mama Yue and Papa Yue were reluctant to go to this place. They are just going to ask for roof repairs, and Jade Construction was famous for their work quality and fast repairs in their district, but at the same time, the service fee for it was all expensive.
Mama Yue looked at her husband and asked, "Are you really going to this place? Isn't the service here so expensive?"
"But this place is the only one who could repair the roof in just a day. Though Xue'er said not to make huge changes in the house since we are planning to buy a new one, it is still better to get it done as soon as possible," replied Papa Yue.
Mama Yue hesitated for a very long time and remembered that their eldest gave them more than 2 million in total in their cards. She no longer felt awkward thinking that the money indeed entered their accounts when they dropped by the bank before coming here.
"Okay. Let's get going. We still need to go to the market to buy food and cook dinner for our daughters," said Mama Yue as she went down the car.
Papa Yue followed her down after they parked their old Revo in front of the Jade Construction parking area. The staff inside the store noticed such old looking car parking in front of the store and immediately noticed the unbranded clothes of Mama and Papa Yue.
The old staff instantly lost interest in seeing the couple and deem them someone who could only afford the lowest service in the store.
"Tsk! Another poor customer. Newbie, get on it!"
"Y-Yes sir!" answered a young salesman who just joined the team after graduating this year.
If Yue Xuexia is here, he would have recognized this salesman as Ru Lanyu, her best friend's boyfriend named Chen Yun.
Once Mama Yue and Papa Yue entered the Jade Construction store Chen Yun bowed his head to welcome them.
Chen Yun recognized this couple. The last time his girlfriend slept over at her best friend's house, he greeted them lightly when he dropped by their house to pick up Ru Lanyu. Of course, the couple can't recognize him but he does and so he treated them amiably as his girlfriend truly loves her best friend as her own family. He unconsciously treated the Yue couple as a relative.
"Welcome to our store. Please let me help you. I am Chen Yun. I will help you within my means."
Mama Yue felt the kindness this young man is showing them, even Papa Yue could help by feeling relief seeing this salesman didn't shoo them out.
"Mah~ such a handsome man. Are you single? I have three daughters if you..."
"Ma, stop now. You must let our daughters bring home their own partners on their own. Don't arrange blind dates. Your daughters won't like it." whispered Papa Yue.
Mama Yue pouted and said, "I know. I was just joking. Child, don't mind auntie's words."
"Of course. I don't mind. Please follow me to the table over there and you can tell me what you wanted the store to do for you. I will do my best to help you with it." said Chen Yun with a professional smile as if he is used to this kind of joke for his customers. Though he wasn't as handsome as the artists or idols in the entertainment world, his honest smile still gave him a plus when conquering middle-aged ladies.
The old Yue couple followed him to the table at the store. Chen Yun made sure that this kind couple wouldn't notice the disdain coming from his coworkers. After seating at the table the old couple started telling Chen Yun their problems.
"Actually, our humble house's roof was leaking. We wanted to ask a few carpenters to repair it all before the sun set today. The materials you can provide and tally us the price. We can pay the full price down payment if needed. But the requirement is to repair the roof within this day." said Papa Yue.
Chen Yun almost lost his smile but honestly informed the couple about the high service of home repairs of their store.
"Sir, Madam, I hope this doesn't offend you. Please don't be angry because home service repair is the most expensive service in our store. Each carpenter would require a down-payment of 1,000 rmb at least and after they saw the problem there would be a different price to pay for estimation. If the materials would be provided by us as well the total bill would at least reach 10,000 rmb. Would you still like to avail this service?" explained Chen Yun.
Mama Yue smiled at him and said, "Good child. You are indeed very kind. When you didn't kick us out of the store the moment we entered we knew you are a person that doesn't treat people based on how they look."
"Don't worry. We can afford it. We just want to get the repair as soon as possible. At least to finish the repair before our daughters got home." said Papa Yue.
Mama Yue said, "Tally the down-payment. We will pay it fully including your service fee for this whole day."
"Here is my card. The password is 160513," said Papa Yue. He used the days his daughters were born as passwords.
Yue Xuexia was born on Feb 16. Yue Jixia on Jan 05 and August 13 for Yue Ruxia.
Chen Yun gave up and accepted Papa Yue's card.
"Then... Please wait for me here for a moment. I would get you the breakdown of your bill." said Chen Yun.
Mama Yue said, "Go, we can wait here."
When Chen Yun went to the counter his coworkers wanted to ask him about the orders of the poor-looking customers. Chen Yun chose to ignore them and asked the manager for permission to supervise this order.
Chen Yun spoke, "Manager, I wanted to supervise this order. It's my relatives. I wanted to use my employee's discount for it."
"A family member? Then go ahead. Write me the breakdown fee and I would notarize it for you," said the Manager thinking that it wasn't a big order as he thought.
Chen Yun had already printed the customized breakdown fee for home repairs and let the manager leave his stamp. As expected the manager didn't even check the contents of this commission.

"Go ahead. Help your relatives," said the manager.
"Thanks, Boss. I'll be back as soon as we finish it," said Chen Yun as he went to the accounting department next.
He went to a friend of his who works for the accounting department to help him use his discount on the total bill. Chen Yun thought Mama Yue and Papa Yue's savings would suffer hard for this down-payment.
Chen Yue spoke, "Bro, you're here. Help me with this, please. Use my employee discount on this commission."
"Sure. Is it your relatives?"
"Yes."
"But this is a customized home service commission your employee discount cannot be used for this."
"The manager allowed it and just used it to lessen the down-payment. The current total should be 10,000 RMB, right? With my discount it should be at least less than 20%." said Chen Yuan.
"Okay if you decided so. Give me the card of the customer. I need to swipe it first to check if the card is working. Just a simple balance inquiry. Do you know the card password?"
Chen Yun replied, "160513"
The accountant swiped the card and did a balance inquiry for the customer. The card reader had read it and deemed the card usable, but when the accountant saw the total savings within the card, he was stunned at first.
"Brother Chen, you said you're from a poor family, right? And this customer is your relative?"
"Well, not exactly relatives. The old couple are the parents of my girlfriend's best friend, so..."
"I see. So they are not really your family. Brother, I don't think you need to use that employee discount of yours. Look for yourself."
Chen Yun leaned on the counter to look at the monitor his friend was designated for. On the screen is the balance inquiry result on Papa Yue's card.

Yue Yuya
Account Type: Savings
Total Savings: 1,510,000 rmb
Bank: Springfield Bank

Dumbfounded by such a fact, Chen Yun looked at the monitor in disbelief.
As he murmured, "1.5 million!!?"
"No wonder they wanted to have customized home service. What do they want to do and what are their requirements?"
Chen Yun answered, "Roof repair. Requirements: Total repair today."
"It's a big customer then. Your commission this time would be huge. Remember to treat me on the payday."
"S-Sure."
Chen Yun didn't know how he had returned the card to Papa Yue when they left with the carpenters to do home service.
