Transmigrated into a Parvenu’s Ex-wife in the ‘90s-Chapter 118 Wreaking Havoc (2)
Chapter 118 - Wrecking Havoc (2)
“Okay. That's fine. Can I start buying furniture?” Shu Yan had only contracted for remodeling and appliances; she did not have them take care of the furniture as well.
The architecture company said they could get a better price if she was to buy through them. There was certainly some truth to it. Bigger companies would for sure be able to get better discounts than individual customers. Appliances were alright, Shu Yan picked them by their brands and she would also go with the designers to pick them out herself. Furnitures were a whole different story; Shu Yan planned on buying those on her own.
“Get the lights first. We can have them installed right away. Furniture you can wait for a few more days. I will let you know when it is the right time.” The foreman showed her the drawing of the layout. “You can take a look first. Oh right, we are probably going to install the appliances next week. Did you want to go with the designer to pick them out? Or, if you already know what you want, you can just hand the list over to the designer, and he can get them and have them delivered.”
“My shop has been very busy lately and I haven’t had time to look yet. I will free up a day next week to look.” She must go see for herself on the appliances. She didn’t want to end up with fake ones.
As for furniture, she’d go and ask Chen Fei later. The custom couch that he got for her shop was quite nice and the light fixtures as well. He would be the one to ask.
Shu Yan did not head to her shop directly. She went to look for Lao Hu first. She was lucky, Lao Hu was home today.
Seeing Shu Yan, Lao Hu chuckled and said, “Boss Shu’s business had been rolling lately.”
“This is the promotional period. It doesn’t mean much. We will see how well it really does after the promotions are over.” Shu Yan walked inside and took a look. There was nobody else there.
“How come you have time to swing by today? Do you need my help for something?” asked Lao Hu as he poured Shu Yan a cup of tea.
“You don’t only help people look for real estate, right?” Shu Yan felt that Lao Hu covered a very broad spectrum of businesses. From buying houses, housing rental, to opening up a business, etc. “Can you help me look into a person?”
“Look into a person?” He neither denied nor confirmed whether he could do that.
He did this periodically as well. As he looked for sources for real estate, he wouldn’t just take anything. If the seller was a con artist, it would affect his reputation. So he would normally look into the sellers.
“Who do you want to look into?” Lao Hu looked at Shu Yan, speculating what kind of characters she had gotten involved with.
“She’s the owner of the shop next to me. I only know that her name is Le. I want to find out about her family and her background. The more details the better.” Shu Yan thought about it for a little bit. She was here already, might as well look into the other two as well. “Oh, and the boss lady of the Apple Men’s Wear across from me and Zhu Hung who has a children clothing store on Jiufang Alley. Total of three of them, but Le is the main one.”
Lao Hu thought about it for a little bit and said, “Okay. I will get back to you.”
He didn’t ask her why she wanted to know. In his line of business, he only needed to do what the customers asked for.
When Shu Yan went back to her shop, it was very lively. Layers and layers of people surrounded her shop. Her heart sank as she squeezed her way in and saw a man standing outside the front door. His face was flushed. He looked somewhat familiar.
“Boss Lady,” Yingying saw Shu Yan right away and squeezed over next to her. “Someone won the television.”
Shu Yan let out a sigh of relief. As long as it wasn’t anything bad. She smiled and asked, “Who’s that lucky person?”
Yingying pointed at the man whose face was flushed. “It’s him. The same person who won the fan yesterday. His wife didn’t believe that he bought a piece of clothing and won the fan and insisted on coming with him to check it out today. They bought some more clothing and this time they won the television.”
“I… I won the television!” The man finally processed what had happened. He was so excited that he was just babbling.
“Quick, Xiuxiu, go get the firecrackers.” Shu Yan had Zhang Huaxiu go get the firecrackers. “Excuse me. Please give us some room. Someone won the television. Let me light some firecrackers to celebrate.”
