He changed his clothes again and again, from suits to shirts, and then from shirts to T-shirts. But when Yun Zhaozhao came over, she didn't even notice his careful dressing up. Her first words were, "Come on, let's move all this furniture upstairs together."
Wen Xu: "... Should we move it together? Aren't these kinds of furniture usually delivered directly to your door by the seller?"
Yun Zhaozhao: "Isn't this just delivering goods to your door?"
Wen Xu: "No, what I mean is..."
Yun Zhaozhao: "Let's move quickly! If we delay any longer, it'll be rush hour again, and with so many people using the elevator, it'll definitely cause a lot of trouble."
Wen Xu was somewhat bewildered and was forced to help Yun Zhaozhao move furniture. Fortunately, the furniture was disassembled and then reassembled after delivery, and there was an elevator, so moving it wasn't too tiring, just a bit of work.
The two of them made several trips up and down the stairs, finally managing to move a dining table, four dining chairs, and two bedside tables into Wen Xu's house.
The last time Yun Zhaozhao came, Wen Xu Xu's house was truly bare, without even a mattress. This time, however, the house had been furnished a bit better. For example, at least there was a bed and a mattress.
Now that Yun Zhaozhao brought all these things, the house no longer feels so empty.
These pieces of furniture were all disassembled when they were brought in; they will have to be reassembled before they can be used.
Yun Zhaozhao lacks practical skills, so she can only place her hopes on Wen Xu.
Wen Xu wasn't actually very good with his hands; as a young master, he had never assembled any furniture himself in his life. But how could he back down in front of Yun Zhaozhao?
So as soon as I took off my coat, I rolled up my sleeves and got to work.
The bedside table and dining chair are relatively simple, and they are quite easy to assemble.
The only thing that might require a bit of effort is probably setting up the dining table.
Wen Xu asked Yun Zhaozhao to help him hold the table while he put on gloves and used tools to tighten it for a long time. In the end, he found that although the dining table was assembled, there were a few extra screws and nuts.
Wen Xu stared blankly at the extra screws and nuts. "... Did I do something wrong with them?"
Yun Zhaozhao was even more bewildered than him. "Are you asking me?"
Wen Xu was in excruciating pain from tightening the screws and was too exhausted to continue. So he slumped onto the floor and said, "Forget it, how about I just hire someone to reinstall it? I'll also order takeout; I'm starving after all this time."
Upon hearing this, Yun Zhaozhao immediately said, "Transfer the money to me, and I'll hire someone for you."
Without much thought, Wen Xu transferred 1,000 yuan to Yun Zhaozhao.
Yun Zhaozhao was quite surprised. "Why didn't you just transfer 10,000 this time? I thought you would never transfer less than 10,000 yuan!"
Wen Xu: "I just have a lot of money, I'm not really stupid. Does ordering takeout really cost 1000 yuan?"
Yun Zhaozhao: "Takeout is indeed unavailable, but you still have to pay for the installation service, right? These days, everything is cheap except for labor. Anything involving [illegal labor] costs several hundred or even a thousand yuan these days. Hiring a cleaner costs several hundred yuan an hour!"
Wen Xu thought about it and felt that Yun Zhaozhao's words made sense, so he transferred another 1,000 yuan to Yun Zhaozhao.
Upon receiving the money, Yun Zhaozhao immediately sent the location of Wen Xu's home to Wen Xu Daoist Chang Kong.
He then sent a text message to Daoist Chang Kong: [Bring some food over, Daoist Chang Kong, business is here!]
Daoist Chang Kong: [...]What kind of business is it?
Yun Zhaozhao: [Repeat business from old customers.]
The bewildered old customer next to me, Wen Xu, said, "..." I always feel like someone is talking about me.
Chapter 134
When Daoist Chang Kong appeared carrying takeout and a toolbox, Wen Xu didn't immediately associate the furniture with Daoist Chang Kong.
He still naively believed that Daoist Chang Kong was summoned by Yun Zhaozhao to "put out a fire."
Moreover, he secretly thought Yun Zhaozhao was quite considerate.
After all, everyone who knows him knows he loves the food made by Daoist Chang Kong. Yun Zhaozhao has so many takeout restaurants to order from, but she insists on ordering only Daoist Chang Kong's cooking. What else could this be but true love?
When Daoist Chang Kong arrived, he didn't actually know he was there to assemble furniture for Wen Xu. Now that he saw Wen Xu in person, he felt inexplicably a little guilty.
It must be said that Daoist Chang Kong is a truly honest man; he always feels a little embarrassed about making money off his friends.
But he couldn't say much in front of Wen Xu, so he just kept his head down and worked, thinking that he could finish the installation as soon as possible and leave.
It has to be said that the same set of furniture, which Wen Xu struggled to assemble even with Wen Xu, was assembled in less than 10 minutes by Daoist Chang Kong.
After the furniture was installed, Daoist Chang Kong and Wen Xu put it in a suitable place.
By this time, Yun Zhaozhao had already opened all the takeout food that Daoist Chang Kong had brought.
The new dining table and chairs were ready, so Yun Zhaozhao simply set the food on the table and invited Daoist Chang Kong to come and eat with them.
Daoist Chang Kong: "I won't eat, you two enjoy your meal!"
Wen Xu earnestly urged, "Why not eat? Let's eat together! I see you brought quite a lot of food; it should be enough for the three of us."
Daoist Chang Kong made up a reason. "I'm tired of eating my own cooking all the time. Besides, I have things to do at the temple. You two enjoy your meal!"
Wen Xu Daoist Chang Kong insisted on going back, Wen Xu didn't try to stop him. However, as the host, he considerately escorted Daoist Chang Kong to the elevator.
While waiting for the elevator, Daoist Chang Kong tentatively asked Wen Xu, " Young President Wen, what do you think of these new furniture pieces today? Are you satisfied?"
Wen Xu nodded readily. "I'm quite satisfied! It's clearly handmade, made of very solid materials, and feels very substantial. It's definitely different from those generic branded furniture pieces."
Hearing this, Daoist Chang Kong felt a little less guilty. "If you like it, that's good. If you like it, that's good."
Wen Xu sidled up quietly and whispered to Daoist Chang Kong, "Let me tell you, the thing I like most about this set of furniture isn't because it's made of solid wood, but because your Temple Master Yun's new home has a set exactly the same as mine. Do you know what this is called? It's called a couple's set of furniture."
Daoist Chang Kong: "..." He loves it so much, really!
Wen Xu had made all the arrangements before coming, thinking that the two of them could assemble the furniture in the morning, have lunch together, and then go for a stroll in the neighborhood with Yun Zhaozhao in the afternoon.
Or if Yun Zhaozhao doesn't want to go out for a stroll, the two of them can stay in the new house and watch a movie.
Speaking of the fully furnished apartment Wen Xu bought here, he basically kept the developer's original design exactly as it was. The only change was that he converted the study that the developer had originally planned into a home theater. This way, he can listen to music and watch movies at home, which feels more relaxed and convenient than going outside.
Unfortunately, plans don't always go as expected, because Yun Zhaozhao had to leave after finishing her meal.
Wen Xu's eyes were full of reluctance. "You have something to do this afternoon?"
Yun Zhaozhao: "Yes. I called all the clients you introduced me to last time. I just happened to have an appointment with one of them this afternoon to sign a contract."
Wen Xu readily stood up and said, "Then I'll go with you. We're just killing time anyway."
-
If it were any other client, Yun Zhaozhao might have actually refused, since she had already asked Tang Li in advance.
But these clients were all introduced to her by Wen Xu. If Wen Xu were really willing to go with her, Yun Zhaozhao felt it would be more useful than if Tang Li went with her.
It has to be said that Yun Zhaozhao is a very pragmatic woman in many ways. She only cares about whether the man she brings to an occasion is useful, regardless of anything else.
At present, Wen Xu is clearly more effective than Tang Li.
So Yun Zhaozhao readily changed her mind and called Tang Li directly, telling him that Tang Li didn't need to come.
It turned out that bringing Wen Xu along was indeed more useful than bringing Tang Li. Because even with Tang Li, Yun Zhaozhao still had to carefully read and review the contract herself, but with Wen Xu Wen Xu, he simply reviewed the contract for her.
Wen Xu not only helped her look at the contract, but also helped her negotiate the terms with the other party.
When it comes to negotiating with clients, Wen Xu has a unique advantage. Even if he's never been a businessman, he's certainly seen it all – after all, he comes from a family of merchants!
Moreover, Wen Xu not only studied business administration later, but Wen Zhengrong also deliberately trained Wen Xu for a period of time. Therefore, Wen Xu is still very strong now, after all, he not only has rich theoretical knowledge, but also rich practical experience.
Later, the clients couldn't help but secretly call Wen Zhengrong to complain, " A-Rong, your son is even more ruthless than you were back then! When you were negotiating with us, at least you would leave us some scraps. But this time, your son came to negotiate with us on behalf of his girlfriend, and he didn't even want to leave us a drop of soup."
Hearing his old friend's tone, Wen Zhengrong knew he was just joking, so he went along with it, saying, "It's not that bad. You'll definitely still make a profit, just a little less. Think of it this way, like you uncles and elders are giving the two new juniors an early red envelope. Besides, if anyone's really complaining, it'll be me first. After all, when he cheated me, he was even crueler than he was to you."
The other side. "You can tolerate this?"
Wen Zhengrong: "There's no way around it. It's a Wen family tradition that the wife is the most important person in the world. When I ripped off my father for the bride price, I wasn't much better off than him. So I was mentally prepared for this."
opposite. "..."
-
In any case, thanks to Wen Xu's help, the contract was not only signed smoothly, but the terms were also better than Yun Zhaozhao had expected.
