Chapter 358: The last scene before the carnival
The apartment environment in which Meng Huo lives on Manhua Island can be comparable to the presidential suites of a five-star hotel. The 400-square-meter apartment includes all supporting facilities such as bedrooms, living rooms, living rooms, bathrooms, kitchens, etc. The decoration is also very exquisite and home appliances are available. When Li Qin came to this apartment, she felt that this place was even more luxurious than Ninghai’s home.
"Is this how you live?"
She asked Zhou Qian in surprise.
Zhou Qian handed the keys she brought from Meng Huo to Li Qin and shook her head and said, "The Manga Island is very big, so there are many rooms, but the rooms are distributed according to the company level. The places I live with the heads of other departments are similar to ordinary white-collar apartments. Other employees live in independent dormitories, with elevators and property services, and the treatment is good."
Manga Island has few people and many land, and Phoenix Company occupies several buildings. One of the benefits of the employees here is that their living environment is great, which is also the biggest tool to attract applicants.
"But what I said... this treatment is so good..."
Li Qin was still a little shocked, and Zhou Qian smiled slightly and said nothing.
The living environment here is good, but the house itself does not belong to the employees, so the reality is not as good as that. Meng Huo's apartment is located on the high floor of the Phoenix Headquarters Building. Zhou Qian and Alice and others also live in this area. They are not as good as Meng Huo, but they are also quite good. These apartment designs have some business uses and are occasionally used to receive VIPs.
Phoenix Company needs many different types of cooperative companies to develop comic islands. People who can enter and exit the Menghuo apartment are the presidents of various intimate companies. How can the apartment be happy if it does not have a certain level?
"Okay, Sister Qin. My work is done. Teacher He Xi will be back soon. You can wait here. If you have anything, you can use the phone in the living room to instruct the servants to do it."
Zhou Qian still has work to work, so she said goodbye to Li Qin and left.
Li Qin stayed in this luxurious apartment and felt uncomfortable. She walked around and wanted to find something to do, but there was a layer of untainted everywhere. There was a clean carpet on the ground, which made her unable to even clean it. In the end, she had to turn on the TV and watch it.
Soon, Meng Huo came back.
"Mom, have you eaten?"
He looked a little tired after entering the door and greeting him.
"I just ate some desserts, but I haven't eaten the rice yet." Li Qin replied. Meng Huo nodded, then picked up the phone in the living room and said, "Aunt Mei, help me and my mother prepare some food to deliver."
He hung up the phone, Li Qin frowned slightly and asked, "Aunt Mei is the servant you hired?"
"I didn't invite it, but there are bodyguards and servants here, and there are people cleaning the room every day." Meng Huo smiled bitterly: "It turns out that there is a full-time maid at home. When I draw comics in the middle of the night, she will get up to pour tea for me. I'm so competent, so I asked her to live somewhere else."
After several years of coming to this world, Meng Huo first felt what a rich lifestyle was like on Manga Island. Full-time servants, luxurious rooms, bodyguards, and cars were all available. He was scared to death when he first arrived, and immediately went to Xu Jing to reject the apartment, but Xu Jing rejected it.
Xu Jing said that only half of these arrangements were made by him, and half of them were the contractors of Manga Island. Phoenix Company was not able to refuse their kindness.
After hearing this reason, Meng Huo naturally understood everything. It turned out that this was the Meng family's work. Although I don't know if they had any special purpose, Meng Huo was very busy during this period, so he didn't have the time to care about this matter. Moreover, it was indeed very convenient to have these servants here, so he could work wholeheartedly.
"Master, Madam, dinner is ready."
Soon, led by a middle-aged woman, several servants brought the rich dinner into the apartment. After Meng Huo asked them to leave, he said while eating: "Mom, I have to go to work after dinner. If you are bored at night, you will go out to find Teacher Hua Meng and the others. The hotel they stayed in is very close to here."
"Oh..." Li Qin was eating in a daze, not yet recovering from the group of servants who had just come in. The more she ate, the less tasted she tasted, so she put down her chopsticks, frowned and said, "Xiao Huo, I think you should fire these servants. If your life is inconvenient, mom will come and cook for you."
The luxurious apartment is already very exaggerated, and there are actually a group of servants. Li Qin thinks something is wrong. Meng Huo lives in such an environment for a long time and can't he become a rich young master in idol dramas? Such a man is not possible! Li Qin doesn't want her son to become unfamiliar. She would rather take care of Meng Huo by herself than make him accustomed to servants' service.
"Mom, you have peace of mind. I will fire them, but I have to wait for the carnival." Meng Huo nodded and smiled, "As for you, you don't have to come here. There are food everywhere, I can make it myself. You can continue to be in Ninghai and come and have a look occasionally."
Li Qin was relieved and asked again: "Even at night, what are you busy with?"
"Tonight is the game department working overtime. I want to watch them make the trial version of "Pokemon" before the carnival." Meng Huo replied: "These few days are the preparation stage for the carnival. I won't be so busy after the official starts... By the way, mom, Shen Jie will come tomorrow. Do you want to go to the port to pick her up?"
"Shen Jie?" Li Qin was surprised: "Why didn't you say it earlier if she will come!... I want it, of course I have to pick her up!"
So the next day, Li Qin and Zhou Qian welcomed Shen Jie at the port together.
"Why do you want me to pick that guy up..." Zhou Qian was complaining strangely on the way, but Li Qin couldn't understand what she was complaining about.
The two waited in the port for half an hour. Shen Jie appeared wearing a hat and carrying a mountaineering bag.
"Puff..." At the first glance of her, Zhou Qian covered her mouth and laughed: "I said Shen Jie, are you here to participate in camping or carnival?"
"You don't have to worry about it." Shen Jie said lightly, then turned to greet Li Qin and said, "Hello Auntie!"
Li Qin was surprised to find that these two people knew each other. She looked at Shen Jie's mountaineering bag and said, "What are they in it?"
"These are books." Shen Jie's attitude towards Li Qin was obviously much better. She replied with a smile: "It's some books and test papers. This time I took a week off. If I don't read some books, I'm afraid my head will become like some fools."
When she said she was stupid, she glanced at Zhou Qian, which made Zhou Qian's face sink.
"Okay, let's go!" Li Qin felt that the atmosphere between the two girls was a bit weird. She hurriedly took Shen Jie's hand and took her to the car: "You are so busy with your studies, so you can't come here to participate in the event, right?"
"No problem, the school has no classes anymore. It's all self-study anyway, and it's the same wherever you go."
After getting in the car and getting on, Shen Jie replied naturally. She brought all the textbooks and materials she needed, and she could also review them during the carnival.
When Zhou Qian heard her words, she couldn't help but sneer: "Are you a voice actor? You have such a small vision, so Teacher He Xi is valued."
She sat in the passenger seat of the car and asked the driver to drive, and said, "If you don't want to be an idol, why do you want to go to a university? Look at Xia Chuan's true nature. The price of a performance is now 500,000 or 600,000 yuan. So what if you graduate from college? If you don't become a voice actor, you won't get the income of her performance in a year, right?"
"Zhou Qian, how do you speak!"
Li Qin was angry. What happened to these two children? She became angry as soon as she met.
"It's okay, Chen Jie, you did the right thing." She comforted Chen Jie and said, "There is no harm in studying. Now that you are young, you have to accumulate more capital. It's not too late to think about money after going to college."
"Thank you, aunt." Chen Jie did not put Zhou Qian's words in her ears. She smiled and said, "You are the same as aunt. With a college diploma, you will always have a sense of confidence no matter what you do in the future... And getting into a good university was a wish left by my grandfather before his death. I hope it can come true."
"Grandpa's wish?" Zhou Qian wanted to laugh, but she didn't believe it.
Li Qin glanced at Zhou Qian with dissatisfaction and asked curiously: "What's going on with your grandfather? Can you tell my aunt?"
She trusted Chen Jie and felt that this child would not lie.
"Actually nothing." Chen Jie said: "Isn't martial arts very popular before? My grandfather was the adopted son of a martial arts school. Later, the martial arts school declined and the martial arts school was disbanded. He went around and settled in Qingcheng at the age of 30, and then married my grandmother."
She paused and added: "Because my grandfather didn't understand culture, he suffered a lot when he was young, so he especially hoped that I could become a well-educated person."
Chen Jie has been learning martial arts with her grandfather since she remembered. When she was a child, she had the idea of becoming a martial arts master. But Chen Jie is not a boy after all. Before her grandfather died, she hoped that she could study hard, get into a good university, and live a stable life like an ordinary girl. Chen Jie has always kept this matter in mind, so she is very serious about studying and does not like the striking thing. She can only do her best in this matter.
"It turns out that your grandfather was born in a martial arts hall... no wonder..." Li Qin seemed to understand that China has highly praised martial arts since ancient times, but martial arts have declined since modern times. Now, martial arts halls are basically not visible everywhere, and even some famous Taoist temples have become tourist attractions.
However, whether she is studying martial arts or not, it is normal for the elderly to hope that their granddaughter can get into college. Li Qin used to work hard to make Meng Huo study hard and find a good job when she grows up, so she can understand the thoughts of being an elder.
"Chen Jie, you did the right thing. He will also take the college entrance examination. If you don't take the college entrance examination, who will become his alumni in the future?"
