Chapter 295: Xu Mansion in the Capital, Flying to Liangxi

The group soon arrived at the door of their new courtyard home on Nanchizi Street.

The car can be parked directly in the garage below or in front of the door. In order to provide a better unboxing experience for the new home, Xu Qingshan parked the car outside the door.

As for Lin Chenhua, he is alone and his name does not count.

They stood in front of the door, looking at the courtyard gate that was brand new but still retained the traces of time. The calm new paint showed its high-end quality.

Above the vermilion gate, the plaque of "Longjiang Xu Mansion" looks elegant and luxurious.

As you enter the mansion, the first thing that catches your eye is the newly renovated screen wall. Vigorous calligraphy is engraved on the screen wall with strong brushstrokes, revealing a calm and majestic atmosphere.

"I asked a calligrapher to write this."

Lin Chenhua was the supervisor who followed up on the renovation and gave a brief introduction.

"I didn't expect it to be so suitable. It doesn't look tacky."

Xu Qingshan was a little surprised and nodded. He had also looked at the decoration plan at that time, but friends who have decorated their homes know that there will be significant differences between the decoration renderings and the actual renderings.

After all, factors such as light and weather need to be considered.

However, the screen wall in front of him was really what you saw was what you got, and Xu Qingshan was quite satisfied with it.

But looking at the three girls, old and young, around him, they were obviously not interested in this broken stone. They went around it and looked at the flowers and plants that were exposed at some corners.

The courtyard behind the screen wall has been replanned, with a winding bluestone path and neatly trimmed rose beds on both sides.

"It's already the end of January and it's snowing heavily, how come the rose is still blooming? Could it be a fake flower?"

Xu Qingshan asked, if these were fake flowers, the style would be gone.

"No, these are different varieties of roses that can bloom all year round. I heard from the designer that they are called Cream Lonza, Zhen Zhou, or something like that."

Lin Chenhua didn't seriously remember which flowers they were. As long as they could bloom and looked good, it was fine.

He focused more on the hard decoration part.

"That's good."

As Xu Qingshan was speaking, he walked through the path and a quiet pond appeared leisurely. The water was rippling and a few lotus flowers stood tall and graceful, swaying in the wind.

There is a stone table and several stone benches in the corner of the pond, which is a great place to drink tea and play chess at dusk.

Opposite the pond, a small row of weeping willows sway in the wind, adding a touch of tenderness to this quaint courtyard.

The main house of the courtyard has been carefully restored, with a gray tile roof, a vermilion lacquered door, and a shiny copper ring on the door.

As soon as you enter the main hall, you will see antique mahogany furniture and calligraphy and paintings hanging on the walls, with vivid brushwork and a faint scent of ink.

Every piece of furniture and every painting reflects the owner's humble connotation and financial strength.

Xu Qingshan looked at it for a while and asked Lin Chenhua behind him with a strange expression.

“Are these calligraphy and paintings real or fake? Our renovation budget shouldn’t be that high, right?”

In Xu Qingshan's impression, antiques, calligraphy and paintings should not be cheap, especially at this time.

"I can't say it's real, but it's not the same as saying it's fake. They say it's a fine imitation made by the ancients, it's a bit old, and it's not the original, so the price is not expensive, and it has a lot of heritage. I don't really understand this."

How could Lin Chenhua, a person who entered society at the age of 17, understand these things?
"This yard is very well tidied."

While the uncle and nephew were still pondering the details of the soft furnishings, the old lady strolled leisurely in the yard, holding a small flower in her hand and said.

"As long as you like it, Grandma."

Xu Qingshan said with a smile.

The decoration styles in the house are different. The main hall is more classical, and the other rooms, including the exclusive room for the old lady, are also in this style. However, the rooms of Xu Qingshan and other young people are completely integrated with modern style.

Not ugly, but a lot more practical.

The backyard is a different scene. Several rockery are scattered in an orderly manner, forming a small landscape world. The gurgling water in the mountains contrasts with the green plants.

This place is close to the imperial city. Whether it is the flying birds in the city or the men in the capital who play with and walk their birds in the streets, the sound of birds singing can be heard in the courtyard, making it feel as if you are in a paradise far away from the hustle and bustle of the world.

This kind of life is in the bustling city yet secluded and quiet.

All I can say is that the design team has a firm grasp on the Chinese people's XP system.

“I never thought I’d be able to live in a house like this in my lifetime.”

The little old lady looked around, touched things left and right, and seemed to be very interested.

"In the future, we will live in whatever place you want to live in."

Xu Qingshan coaxed the old lady. It was the first time for Jiang Huanxi and Tong Tong to see such a house. They were even more excited to know that they had their own rooms in the house. They accompanied the old lady for a while and were then sent by the old lady to see her own room.

"That's enough. That's enough."

The old lady thought for a while, then sat down on the lounge chair in the courtyard. She leaned back, squinted her eyes and basked in the winter sun.

"Why does it feel like the yard isn't very cold?"

The little old lady shook it for a while and suddenly muttered.

"Because the whole house has floor heating, there is also hidden floor heating and drainage in the yard, so there is no snow accumulation in our yard."

Lin Chenhua was aware of this, and this was what he focused on at the time.

"Very good, Uncle. You have arranged your own room, right? Go back and have a rest first. I'll call Dong Lai Shun and ask them to deliver the food."

"Does Dong Lai Shun still do food delivery?"

Lin Chenhua has lived in Beijing for half a year, and this is the first time he knows that Donglaishun is delivering food.

"Normally there is no such thing, but we can pay extra."

As Xu Qingshan answered, he thought of Wang Xing.

I don’t know how Wang Xing’s Meituan is doing. Once Meituan Takeout and Ele.me are successful, there will be no need to worry about not having takeout food.

In fact, the development of human society is a spiral upward.

Later, everyone started to worry about the food safety issues of takeout, but they forgot that when takeout was first created, it was actually just to satisfy the demand of eating what you want without leaving home.

Inter-city food delivery has existed as early as the Republic of China, and even earlier in the Tang and Song dynasties, there was short-distance food delivery.

So if you want to eat delicious and healthy takeout, just buy it from your favorite store.

As for eating unhealthy takeout.
There are cases where we don’t know, but aren’t most of them because they are cheap?

Are there many people who really eat them because they think they are delicious?
Xu Qingshan doesn't think so.

With the development of the social system, things with low prices are bound to be accompanied by low costs, and low costs are bound to mean that they are not healthy enough, at least in cities.

Expensive things are not necessarily clean, but things that are too cheap are definitely not clean.

Xu Qingshan thinks it is not unreasonable that too many young people have short lives and suffer from sub-health.

I'll have to mention this to Wang Xing when the time comes.

If possible, Meituan should also establish a small grading system for food delivery and carry out more certification and practical research.

You can never make enough money, but once your conscience is used up, it’s gone forever.

Xu Qingshan felt that he was actually a good person at heart.

Now that I have more money, I start to think about using money to buy conscience.

Unlike some people who are so rich that they can rival a country, but still try to borrow hundreds of millions of tons of conscience from the underworld. In fact, they lack virtue for tens of thousands of lifetimes.

After a pause, Xu Qingshan called Wang Xing.

The cellphone ringtone rang for a long time before the call was connected.

"Hey?"

"Qingshan, what's wrong?"

Wang Xing's voice came from the phone, revealing a passionate tiredness. It was the first time Xu Qingshan had heard such a voice. It felt like you felt that this person was about to die if he spoke loudly, but when he spoke, the tone and excitement of his voice were like taking a rejuvenation pill or taking an adrenaline shot.

"No, I just want to ask you, will you go back to Longshan for the New Year this year?"

Xu Qingshan said.

"Probably not. We don't have time this year. Lao Wang and I are discussing the process. We probably won't go back this year."

Wang Xing was speaking when he suddenly paused.

"By the way, Qingshan, I heard that Mr. Cai was in charge of the project, that is, emmm. Lei Jun's project. Did you invest a lot?"

Wang Xing spoke hesitantly, feeling embarrassed but unable to hold back.

"Yeah, about 20 million US dollars, plus some of my technical support."

Xu Qingshan had no intention of hiding it from Wang Xing.

This kind of thing will be made public sooner or later, and he probably knows what Wang Xing is worried about.

"What about Meituan?"

Wang Xing's voice sounded a little low, and it was obvious that he was not in a very good condition.

"I am very optimistic about Mr. Lei's side, and I am also very optimistic about Meituan."

Xu Qingshan said decisively.

"Moreover, in my opinion, the importance of Meituan is the same as that of Lei Jun. 500 million is just the beginning. You guys should do your best. When the subsequent financing rounds are launched, I will continue to give more."

"Oh, okay, that's good."

Wang Xing said with his head down.

"Take heart and rest. How about this? I'm going to fly to Liangxi on Sunday. I'll find a time on Friday to meet with our Meituan team, have a meal and talk about the direction of development. Is that okay?"

Xu Qingshan said with a smile.

On the one hand, it was to give Wang Xing a boost, and on the other hand, it was also a good opportunity to meet the Meituan team and have some exchanges.

The specific content is not complicated.

After all, Xu Qingshan is also a major shareholder of Meituan at this time, and to some extent, he is even a more important shareholder than Wang Xing.

Because Meituan needs him, but he doesn't need Meituan that much.

Two girls accompanied the old lady to adapt to the new home. It took them some time to get fully familiar with such a large courtyard house. There were little surprises and new discoveries every day when they studied it.

Xu Qingshan took some time to visit Wang Xing and had a meal with Meituan’s founding team.

There were no waves.

By the way, he also met Wang Chuan and Qiu Jing separately on Saturday.

It can also be regarded as a meal to explain things before leaving. Other specific official business can also be handled by remote communication using mobile phones.

When Xu Qingshan returned home, his luggage for the return trip had already been packed.

"When you get to Liangxi, call grandma, and go back to Longjiang as soon as you're done."

The old lady stayed in the hospital for nearly half a year, and she had a lot to say.

Now there is a place to show off.

But it’s only been a few days and it’s already another week before we can see each other again. I feel so reluctant.

"Grandma, don't worry. Our tickets have been booked. We will definitely meet at Lu Island and then go back to Longjiang together. You must remember to exercise every day and take the necessary supplements seriously."

Xu Qingshan walked forward and hugged the old lady.

Lin Chenhua stood beside the car.

He is tall and strong, and if he blocks his head, he looks not much different from Wang Chuan.

Later he will send Xu Qingshan and others to the airport, and then come back to spend time with the old lady.

"Qianqian and the others said they've already arrived at the airport. Can we make it in time?"

Jiang Huanxi got in the car and looked at his cell phone.

She wanted to sit with Xu Qingshan.

But who knew that Xu Qingshan would sit directly on the passenger seat, leaving her and Tong Tong staring at each other in the back seat.

"It's still in time. We have VVIP service and the car can drive directly into the airport."

Xu Qingshan said calmly.

"VIP? Is that first-class service?"

Jiang Huanxi asked curiously.

She had sat with Xu Qingshan before and had some impression of him.

"It's not VIP, it's V-VIP."

Xu Qingshan tilted his head and spoke to the two girls in the back seat.

"We enter the airport through another terminal, and the luggage check is quick. Just tell Ye Qianqian and the others to meet on the plane."

As Xu Qingshan spoke, he looked at his phone again. Ye Xincheng, that idiot, didn't even know to send him a message when he was with his girlfriend.

"These two are really something. I reserved a room for them, but they couldn't find a day to stay here this week. The next time they come to stay, it will be after the Chinese New Year."

Xu Qingshan complained.

Not long after, the car drove into the airport, and someone quickly checked the luggage and helped put it on the plane.

Xu Qingshan and the other two boarded the plane leisurely.

"Look, we boarded the plane faster than they did."

There are only small and medium-sized passenger planes flying from Beijing to Liangxi.

There were only eight business class seats in the cabin, and Xu Qingshan and his two companions and Ye Qianqian occupied four of them.

As for why Ye Xincheng didn't take the business class flight.

That's because he traveled with the team. Xu Qingshan and his team were invited as non-staff members and traveled at their own expense. The laboratory didn't even need to reimburse them for their airfare. What opinion could others have?

But Ye Xincheng is different.

If he went to sit in first class, what would happen to professors, associate professors, and young teachers like Qiu Yong who were sitting in the front row of the economy class?
When Xu Qingshan was accompanying Tian Gang, he always sat in economy class.

But Ye Qianqian was indeed good-tempered. She stayed with Ye Xincheng until they got on the plane together and then sat down.

"Qingshan, thank you."

After sitting down, Ye Qianqian thanked Xu Qingshan in a low voice.

Xu Qingshan just waved his hand.

"I'm relying on this little investment, waiting for Mr. Ye to help me make a lot of money and become famous. I hope Mr. Ye won't call me Xu Baopi in the future."

Xu Qingshan did not respond with words like "You are Xiaoxi's sister, and Cheng'er is my brother."

Instead, he affirmed Ye Qianqian's own value.

Ye Qianqian didn't say much, just smiled, but this smile was obviously much more relaxed.

The plane slowly rose and disappeared into the clouds.

Two hours and a quarter later.

The passenger plane from Beijing Capital Airport landed at Liangxi Shuofang Airport. In the safe area, several black business cars were already waiting for the plane's door to open.
