Super Electric Eel Avatar-Chapter 69 Also Stays Here
Chapter 69 Also Stays Here
"Oh...Yeah... Ha...Come on... Go..." After hanging up the phone, Chen Fan shook his butt as he sang happily to the lyrics of some song to express his current mood.
Chen Fan had stayed in this 100 square meter commercial housing unit for over ten years. The door wasn't even finished properly. Now that he was going to move to a super huge, and luxurious villa, Chen Fan could not help but feel emotional.
"Boss, you got the house?" Wang Bing who was watching television stood up.
"Bingo! You're absolutely right, but there's no prize for that!" Chen Fan snapped his fingers said, "Let's go have a look at the mansion."
--------
"Haha, I belong to the upper class now!" Sitting in the black BMW, Chen Fan mumbled to himself as he tapped on the glass window.
"I think you lack two mistresses." Wang Bing mumbled without turning back.
Wang Bing's driving skills were superb. Chen Fan took forty minutes to get there, but he took almost twenty minutes to park the car beside the three-storey, white villa. The one who received Chen Fan wasn't Xia Qianxue, but the sales manager in his thirties.
Don't tell me she's going back on her word and not giving me the 100,000 RMB? Chen Fan shook his head to banish this thought.
"Mr Chen, should I bring you around?" The sales manager gestured to him. "Feel free to let me know if there are any areas that need to be improved and I'll get the workers to redo them."
The first story included a living room, a dining room, two guest rooms, a kitchen and a bathroom. The second story had a study room, the master bedroom, a second bedroom, a bathroom and a mini bar living area. The third story had a fifty square meter balcony with pale yellow wooden fencing and an excellent view. There was also a 100 square meter gym with basketball court markings on the floor. The most amazing thing was a glass wall made up of three huge, full height, glass panels which was on the side facing the sun.
Chen Fan's taste was still at the level of the 'nouveau' wealthy. He only needed it to be spacious and feel grand. As for the layout and style, he was totally clueless about that.
After walking up and down a few times, Chen Fan did not notice anything wrong and felt that it looked very good instead. Chen Fan was particularly fond of the shelves in the study room and the main living room. They were useful tools in helping him to act scholarly. "Help me look around and see what needs to be improved on." Chen Fan mumbled to Wang Bing when the sales manager wasn't looking.
"Ah." Wang Bing opened his mouth and scratched his head, "It looks great! Very impressive, and very, very big!" This guy had a limited vocabulary. His ability to express himself was greatly restricted by repeating the same words.
"My god!" Chen Fan said with scorn.
Since there was no issue, Chen Fan readily followed the sales manager to settle the payment. Ten days ago, he still had 6,400,000 RMB on his bank card, but now there was only a little over 300,000 RMB. After some thought, Chen Fan withdrew another 300,000 RMB for buying furniture later on.
After getting a huge stack of property ownership certificates and the keys, the first thing Chen Fan did was to get a locksmith to change all the locks, spending 1,000 RMB on it. Standing in the empty main living room, Chen Fan took out a stack of sealed notes and passed them to Wang Bing. "Go to the antique market at Bajing Street and get bottles and vases. I want the shelves in this living room all filled up. Remember not to buy at the shops but go to those temporary stalls set up by old people."
"Buy fake goods?"
"Yes! Tell them you wanna buy fake goods when you get there and let those people give you recommendations. The stranger the better!"
"Alright!" Wang Bing nodded as he took the notes and left. After dismissing Wang Bing, Chen Fan called Yiteng Yun and the rest to get them over to help decorate the new house.
After half an hour, Zhang Lele, Yu Lin and Yiteng Yun arrived in a cab. "Boss, you just bought this house?" Yu Lin got out from the passenger seat and pointed at the villa behind Chen Fan. "Oh my goodness, this costs at least 6 million RMB!"
"Around there!" Chen Fan leaned to one side and let the others come in from the white metal side door. "I just got the keys today. Help me see what type of furniture I need to buy."
"I'm good at tidying up. Boss, what style do you like?" Zhang Lele asked with a smile.
"Style…" Chen Fan gave it a thought before saying, "Let's go in and discuss."
When they reached the living room, Chen Fan pointed at the empty space and asked, "Take a look, what should be placed here?"
"Boss, your main color theme here is white, so I think you should also get white furniture for the living room. It will look more coordinated this way." Yu Lin walked two rounds and then pointed at the window. "Get those huge white curtains, they'll definitely look good."
"Get those made of soft cotton material, it feels comfortable touching them." Zhang Lele chimed in.
"Get those with soft patterns instead of straight lines, they look too stiff." Yiteng Yun also expressed his opinion.
After discussing the rooms downstairs, they went to the second story. "Goodness! What a huge master bedroom." Yu Lin exclaimed. "You have to buy an extra big bed, like those that can sleep three or five people.
"Three or five? Are you keeping pigs?" Zhang Lele scorned.
"Alright, alright. We're done with both upstairs and downstairs. I'll now assign the tasks." Chen Fan smacked his lips and touched his chin while looking at Zhang Lele and then Yu Lin. He let out a laugh and then said, "Yiteng Yun will get the furniture for downstairs and the budget is within 100,000 RMB. Yu Lin will be in charge of the furniture for the second story and the budget is also within 100,000 RMB. As for Lele, you'll be responsible for the kitchen, bathrooms, curtains, mattresses and such. The budget shall be within 50,000 RMB. Get the things delivered here after you've chosen them and I'll settle the bill."
"Yes boss!"
"Oh, Yiteng Yun, make a trip to the bookstore and get a thousand books. I don't want low end ones. Get those books with English or French covers...books on economics, psychology, philosophy. I want the original versions of books by Shakespeare, Tagore, Pushkin, Hugo. Don't buy the translated versions." During the house viewing, Chen Fan was still despising the sales manager for glorifying foreigners, but he also had the same problem!
"...Umm…" Yiteng Yun was speechless. He had seen Chen Fan complaining about not understanding the English interface when he was playing games in the office, and even downloaded a translation patch from Baidu.
After the others left, Chen Fan laid leisurely on the open-air deck chair on the third floor balcony. He gazed at the view of the entire residential district while waiting for the four to come back.
"Life is really beautiful!" Chen Fan exclaimed happily as he looked at the heart-shaped artificial lake in front of the villa. The entire Bolan Gardens had eighty-eight villas like this. They were all situated in the center of the residential district, and there was artificial lake in the middle which was over 3,000 square meters. After looking around aimlessly, Chen Fan's eyes suddenly stopped at the balcony of the villa on the right. There weren't many things that could catch Chen Fan's attention, but the balcony on the right fulfilled the requirements. There was a beauty holding a watering can, watering the plants on the balcony, and it was a blonde foreign lady.
"A foreigner mistress kept by a Chinese?" Chen Fan turned his head sideways and looked carefully.
"Wait!" Chen Fan rubbed his eyes hard. "Isn't this girl the mixed-blood I saw at Wansheng Restaurant the other day? Ma Rongtao's niece? She also stays here?" Shaking his head, Chen Fan could not help but feel overcome with emotion about the coincidences in this world. Such a gorgeous mixed-blood lady actually became his neighbor. After secretly observing her for a few minutes, the girl raised her fair slender hands and stretched herself before going into the house.
"Now life is even more beautiful!"
"Boss, come open the door downstairs!" An hour after the beauty disappeared, Zhang Lele, Wang Bing and company led a group of people back.
"Coming!" Chen Fan got up from the deck chair and shouted.
A dozen electric tricycles carrying all kinds of furniture blocked the tree-lined pathway in front of the door. The workers on the tricycles all looked enviously at Chen Fan and the villa behind him. "How much did you spend in total?" Chen Fan mumbled.
Yiteng Yun said softly, "The furniture, electrical appliances and over eight hundred books cost 230,000 RMB in total. We bought high-grade goods and we can call them over to do repairs if there's any problem."
"Come in quickly!" Chen Fan opened both sides of the main door and made space for them.
"Alright!" The workers replied and then got off the vehicles before untying the ropes on the furniture. As there were too many things needing to be done up on both floors, the workers stayed busy until 5PM before they finally finished placing all the furniture. After making the payment, Chen Fan had Zhang Lele get some food and wine so that they could all have a good meal at night.
"Boss, this is really grand," Wang Bing said with enjoyment, as he sat on the white European-style couch in the living room. "It's enjoyable being rich!"
"Look!" Chen Fan pointed at the strange-looking "antique" on the shelf. "With the BMW and this villa, laymen will never guess that these are all fake!"
"Yes, we should place another two terracotta sculptures at the door and carve the wording that they were made during the Qin Dynasty." Yu Lin blurted out his thought.
"I think it'll be more impressive to place an army tank in the garden!"
"It'll be even more impressive to place you at the door!" Chen Fan stood up and verbally attacked Wang Bing. "Quickly clear the table and get ready for dinner. I'm famished."
After the men set up the table, Zhang Lele walked in with bags of food. "Dinner's here!" Zhang Lele happily placed the food on the table. "I specially went to Duck Neck from Nanyang Food Centre. Yu Lin, it's your favorite!"
"Alright, get them out quick. My stomach's almost corroded by digestive juice!" Chen Fan took a bottle of Dynasty Dry Red and poured half a glass for everyone. "Come, cheers!"
"I have to pick up a call!" Zhang Lele stuck out her tongue as she took out her phone from her pocket. Zhang Lele who was talking and laughing started to turn pale, and then covered her mouth and started crying.
"Fell out of love?" Yu Lin said in a low voice.
"Got dumped?" Wang Bing said.
"I think so!" Chen Fan puckered his lips and nodded.
"The possibility is ninety-nine percent!" Yiteng Yun pushed back his glasses.
After Zhang Lele hung up the phone, Chen Fan asked softly, "What's wrong? Did you fall out of love?"
"No…" Zhang Lele wiped her tears and shook her head. "A good friend of mine fell out with me…"
"Be uncompromising, the world will be a dangerous place. Be without awareness, life is like a dream. Only by setting oneself free can the human heart be as vast as heaven and earth." Yiteng Yun suddenly came up with this, making everyone look perplexed.
"What are you talking about?!"
Chen Fan passed a piece of tissue to Zhang Lele and said casually, "Don't cry, just let it be. Food is more important."
Ring! Chen Fan's phone also rang. "I need to pick up a call too." Chen Fan took out his phone and looked at the number. "Hello, Bro Zhang! What's up?"
