Chapter 1137 Helping with house-keeping
When I got home, it was almost ten o'clock in the evening, and the two women were not downstairs. They must have gone back upstairs to rest.
Seeing this, Chen Feng did not stay downstairs and went directly upstairs to his room. Then he saw Wu Mengting lying on his bed looking at her mobile phone.
While Chen Feng was slightly stunned, Wu Mengting took the initiative to speak: "Back?"
"Yes, back."
Chen Feng answered subconsciously.
“Go take a bath and sleep.”
Wu Mengting put down her phone and said casually.
At the same time, she also raised her hands and stretched her body.
Although she was lying flat on her back, she did not cover herself with a quilt because the room was air-conditioned.
Wearing a set of slightly loose pajamas, it could not hide her graceful figure.
Chen Feng looked slightly distracted.
“Go quickly.” Wu Mengting urged with a hint of coquettishness.
“Ah, okay.”
After Chen Feng came back to his senses, he immediately turned around and went to the bathroom.
Five minutes later, Chen Feng came out wrapped in a bathrobe and walked towards the bed, feeling slightly excited.
Although he and Wu Mengting have had skin-to-skin contact for a long time, she is not keen on this kind of thing and is very delicate. Chen Feng has to take care of her feelings every time and cannot enjoy himself at all.
In addition, Chen Feng rarely took the initiative to be intimate with her because he felt a little guilty for her.
Of course, this is also related to the fact that Sun Xiaorui is around.
However, there is no doubt that Wu Mengting’s beauty and charming style are always memorable to Chen Feng.
Given the opportunity to be intimate with him, Chen Feng would certainly not refuse it foolishly.
I walked to the bed and was about to take off my bathrobe and go to bed, but Wu Mengting stopped me with a voice: "Go and change into pajamas and put them on. My relatives are here. Please be calm at night and hold me to sleep." That’s it.”
Chen Feng’s original excitement suddenly cooled down.
After two seconds of silence, Chen Feng responded quickly and agreed: "Okay."
After saying that, he turned around and walked towards the closet.
Soon, Chen Feng changed into light pajamas.
Wu Mengting has a habit of sleeping in pajamas all year round. Maybe most women are like this.
Chen Feng does not have this habit, but at her request, especially when the two of them sleep together, he can only "do as the Romans do" and wear pajamas for sleeping.
“Go and turn off the lights.”
“Okay.”
After turning off the lights, Chen Feng finally went to bed.
As soon as he lay down, he felt a warm body pressing against his arms.
The next day, shortly after Wu Mengting and Sun Xiaorui went to work, Chen Feng also drove out.
He went this time to help Guo Mengyao look at the house.
Last night, Cai Zhixin had sent him all the information he had collected about the garden villa, and he forwarded it to Guo Mengyao.
There are only 5 garden villas that meet the requirements. They are all on Donghu South Road, not too far from Zijin Garden.
After Guo Mengyao read the information, he directly eliminated three of them because the area was not large enough.
There are only two areas left that meet the requirements.
Guo Mengyao asked Chen Feng to help her check out the house tomorrow. If it was suitable, he could even help with a price.
Of the two garden villas, one is owned by a catering company, and the other is owned by a private person.
The first place Chen Feng went to was the Garden Villa, which is now a high-end restaurant, a restaurant with a world-renowned brand.
When Chen Feng came over, Cai Zhixin was already waiting at the door.
"Brother, are you here?"
As Cai Zhixin said, he threw the cigarette in his mouth on the ground and stamped it out, then came up to greet him with a smile. He knew that Chen Feng didn't smoke and hated the smell of smoke. So much so that at the dinner party last night, no one smoked during the dinner.
“Have you contacted the owner?”
"We got in touch, but he's overseas and can't get here right away. However, he has already asked the manager here to cooperate with us in viewing the house."
"Okay. Go in."
“Hey, okay.”
The two went in. Cai Zhixin told the front desk. Soon the restaurant manager here came out to receive them personally and took them to the garden villa. Read it carefully.
This villa has a history of nearly a hundred years and belongs to the architectural heritage protection unit. The architectural style is also a combination of Chinese and Western styles during the Republic of China, a two-story building.
The most iconic thing is that there is a long red brick chimney on the roof of the second floor.
The total indoor area is 456 square meters, in addition to a 200 square meter basement and a 60 square meter garden.
It took almost half an hour to read it. Generally speaking, it was okay. However, if this place was changed into the headquarters office of Mengyao Cosmetics, Chen Feng still felt that it would be a bit inappropriate.
The main reason is that this place has been converted into a business restaurant. If you buy it and then convert it into an office space, you will have to re-approval, decoration, etc., which is obviously very troublesome and not necessary.
The other thing is that the current selling price is obviously too high.
More than ten years ago, due to old street renovation and historical building protection projects, this catering company spent 20 million yuan to acquire the 40-year property rights of this property.
Although the property rights here are only more than 20 years old, the selling price is at least 300 million.
This is still the market’s estimated valuation.
And because such houses are basically priced but not marketable, sellers are generally reluctant to sell them. If you really want to buy them, you have to increase the price.
After Chen Feng took a look at it, he found that the house here was of high quality and quality, but the price/performance ratio was too low.
After viewing this place, Chen Feng and Cai Zhixin immediately went to the second garden villa, which was only five or six hundred meters apart on the same road.
This is a real Western-style villa, with a wall and a large iron fence at the entrance, and a yard. Inside are three two-story side-by-side houses, full of Western architectural style.
It was also built during the Republic of China, and it is nearly a hundred years old.
Now the owner of this villa is an internationally renowned artist, but this artist now lives abroad. This villa is mainly managed by his nephew in China. In fact, most of the time Vacant.
Although this artist was born in the Dragon Kingdom, he is now a foreigner and is used to life in a foreign country. In the past few years, he would come here to live for a while every year as a vacation and leisure. But now that he is getting older, he is eighty years old, and he doesn't come back much.
Also interested in selling the house.
This is what the artist's nephew said. He is sixty-two years old this year. Cai Zhixin knew the artist nephew. Therefore, this nephew spoke very directly and did not hide anything behind his words.
While taking them to browse inside, give background explanations.
The artist spent more than 20 million to buy this place almost twenty years ago. Of course, the price was sky-high at the time, and many people felt that he paid too much.
But looking at it today, it is obviously not the case, quite the opposite.
This garden villa has a yard area of 80 square meters, three side-by-side two-story buildings with an area of 490 square meters, a basement of 200 square meters, and a small garden of 60 square meters in the back.
The property rights were originally purchased for 60 years, but now there are still 40 years left.
The base price revealed by his uncle to his nephew was 250 million. If Chen Feng really wanted to buy it, he could help contact his uncle. The hope of closing the deal at this base price was quite high.
In terms of cost performance, this house is obviously much more cost-effective than the house in the previous restaurant.
One obvious reason why the villa here is much lower than that is that the location is slightly off.
Although it is on the same road, this road is two kilometers long. Such a long road, so many houses, and the locations may seem the same, but they are definitely different.
The villa where the restaurant is located belongs to the downtown area and is more suitable for business, while the villa here, with its deep courtyard, is more suitable for personal living.
After Chen Feng saw the house here, he personally thought it was pretty good. If it were the headquarters of Mengyao Cosmetics Company, as long as the decoration was in place, the style and quality would really go up.
After separated from Cai Zhixin and got into the car, Chen Feng called Guo Mengyao.
"I have viewed both houses. I personally think the garden villa in the second house is more suitable. The owner is an artist who has settled abroad. He is 80 years old this year. He is represented by his nephew in China. He has Willingness to sell. The base price disclosed by his nephew is 250 million, but I can’t guarantee that he is telling the truth. You have to come and see it next time to decide.”
"I can't live without you recently. It's better for you to help me make a decision. If you really think it's suitable, make a decision first and then negotiate the price. As long as the price is right, pay the other party a part of the deposit. Wait for two or three I should be free in a few weeks. At that time, I will go over and sign a house purchase contract with the other party." There is no doubt that Guo Mengyao has absolute trust in Chen Feng. For a house involving so much money, she handed it over to Chen Feng as the sole agent in just one sentence.
Chen Feng didn't want to continue to take care of it. He promised to introduce the house to her and help her look at the house before. It was already interesting enough. Now he actually wants to talk to the other party about buying a house. What if he buys a house in the future? If you want him to help with the decoration of the house, it's really endless.
He is no longer a shareholder of Mengyao Cosmetics Company. Even a shareholder is not fully responsible for these trivial matters.
"It's better for you to come and talk to the other party in person. After all, such a large amount of money is involved. Although you have seen the photos of the house, you haven't seen some of the internal details and layout with your own eyes. It’s best to come over and have a look. It doesn’t matter if you come over at night. This house has been vacant for several years and is not in a hurry to sell it. With so much money, not everyone can take it out casually.”
After Guo Mengyao was silent for a while, he said: "Okay. I'll try my best to go there this Sunday, take a look at it, decide on the matter, and go back the same day. You can accompany me then. ."
"Okay, just contact me then."
"That's it, see you next time."
"Okay.
After Guo Mengyao said goodbye this time, she hung up the phone. It can be seen that she is indeed very busy.
Looking at the time, it was only ten o'clock in the morning. Chen Feng was not in a hurry to go home. After thinking about it, he went to Lin Yujiao's place.
I went to her store, and sure enough she was here.
The business in the store was not very busy in the morning, but there were still some in twos and threes. However, there are already two shopping guides and a cashier in the store, and with Lin Yujiao as the female boss, there is no need.
Chen Feng came over. Lin Yujiao saw it and immediately came out of the cashier.
The two came out of the store in tacit agreement.
“Why did you come here suddenly?”
Lin Yujiao asked in surprise.
"I just came out to do some errands and came over to see you." Chen Feng told the truth.
Lin Yujiao was not disappointed at all, but was still very happy. After all, Chen Feng still thought of her and said with a smile: "As long as you think of me."
"Let's go and take a walk." Chen Feng also smiled, stretched out his hand and naturally took her hand towards the lake embankment.
When Chen Feng held her hand, Lin Yujiao glanced around subconsciously. When she saw that no one was paying attention and there were no acquaintances, she relaxed.
"That man named He didn't harass you anymore, did he?" Chen Feng asked casually.
"No more." Lin Yujiao shook her head and then added, "However, I heard the news that he was stabbed and seriously injured, and he almost couldn't be rescued."
"It's still." Is this happening?" Chen Feng asked curiously, "Do you know the reason?"
"I also heard from a friend, who also purchased goods from He Yongbing. I just happened to know it. The other party didn't know exactly why he was stabbed."
"Oh, forget it. Anyway. , He just won’t harass you anymore.”
“Yes.”
That’s it.
The two walked for a while on the lake embankment, and then sat on an outdoor bench and chatted for a while. When it was almost eleven o'clock, Chen Feng got up and took her back to the shop, and he also drove go home.
I got home before 11:30, and at almost 11:40, Wu Mengting and Sun Xiaorui came back together.
The three of them had lunch together, and the overall atmosphere was relatively harmonious.
At the dinner table, Wu Mengting said that she had given the HR manager Xu Haixia a notice of termination this morning and asked her to hand over the work within three days and officially leave.
Chen Feng was slightly surprised when he heard that Wu Mengting fired the manager of the human resources department on her first day back at work. This was too resolute.
“Have you communicated this matter with Sijia in advance?” Chen Feng asked.
Wu Mengting nodded and said: "Of course I told her beforehand. Just say that this is what you meant, and she agreed."
Chen Feng was speechless. Chen Feng is the boss, and no matter how powerful the general manager Lu Sijia is, in the It is also impossible to go against the boss's wishes in terms of personnel arrangements.
In addition, when the boss Chen Feng made a surprise inspection, Xu Haixia, the personnel manager, did not do his job well. Firing her was indeed justified.
But Chen Feng said clearly at the beginning that he would secretly investigate Xu Haixia again and give her a period of time. If she made corrections, there would be no need to fire her.
As a result, Wu Mengting was fired directly on her first day back at work.
This notice has been issued, and even if Chen Feng is the boss, there is no way he can go back on his word. What's more, Xu Haixia really didn't do her job well.
Chen Feng could only ask: "Then who will take over her position as the manager of the human resources department?"
Wu Mengting said: "The current manager of the human resources department, Wei Jing, has not yet joined the company. It’s been almost a year. From the very beginning, the recruitment specialist Starting out as a staff member, and now in her current position as a supervisor, she actually does more than 90% of the management work in the human resources department. As a result, Xu Haixia, the manager, often indulges in online shopping in the company. I think others don’t know, but actually time How could it not be discovered by others for a long time? Therefore, I think the company does not need to support her as an idler with a high salary. To increase revenue and reduce expenditure for the company, it is best to fire her directly. Without her as a human resources manager, it will be detrimental to the current human resources department. It has almost no impact, On the contrary, it can save the company at least 300,000 to 400,000 yuan in welfare expenses every year."
Wu Mengting's words were reasonable and well-founded. Chen Feng could not refute it, let alone refute it. He originally wanted to fire Xu Haixia. , which he first proposed.
“Okay, then it’s settled.”
Chen Feng had an impression of Wei Jing. She graduated from Aurora University in the magic city. She is only twenty-seven years old. She has beautiful appearance, short hair and glasses. She is relatively thin, energetic, has strong expressive skills, and looks very capable.
The last time he went to the company for a surprise inspection, Wei Jing was one of the better performers, and Chen Feng had no reason to object.
Thank you for your concern.
I went to get some fluids early this morning and changed the prescription. I feel the symptoms are right and my cough is no longer so severe. Oral ulcers were relieved a lot by applying iodine glycerin.
