Back to the prime of life

Chapter 114 Hailan Bay Swimming Pool
After Lu Xiaohui learned about this, she rushed from Jiujiang District to Jiangzhou University of Technology.

When he arrived, the first question he asked was, "How much does it cost to build a swimming pool?"

Lu Changge said, "About 700,000 or 800,000."

Lu Xiaohui jumped up from the spot, "What!? So much money?!"

"Because I want to build a temperature-controlled...high-end swimming pool that can be used year-round."

"How did you make so much money? You even bought a car. Your parents didn't say that much. How much money do you have left?"

Family, that’s how direct the question is.

He had to think carefully before saying this number. If he said more, it would seem a bit exaggerated. If he said less, and spent 700,000 or 800,000 yuan at once, there was no guarantee that she would not tell Lu's father and mother.

"About three or two million, less than three million."

Lu Xiaohui took a deep breath and asked, "Is all this made from that Taobao store?"

Actually, it wasn't, but he didn't want to reveal that he was trading stocks, so he nodded, "More or less."

"That Taobao store..."

"Stop, stop, stop, aunt, don't be so shocked. I'm not a child. I know what I'm doing. The fact that I can earn so much is proof of that."

Lu Xiaohui calmed down. It was indeed not the first day that she heard about what Lu Changge had done. Not only here, but also everyone in the Lu family's hometown village had discussed this matter.

"I'm very clear-headed." Lu Changge emphasized again.

Lu Xiaohui was skeptical. "Okay. What do you want me to help you with?"

The matter is simple, just tell the truth, and finally summarize: "In short, the decoration business is very complicated, and I don't have time to supervise it every day, so I thought that my aunt is a family member and asked her to help me keep an eye on it. I will also pay you a salary when the time comes. If you don't want to work in the foreign trade company anymore, you can come to me and ask a question."

"You're still paying me. I was trying to persuade you that foreign trade is very profitable right now. You have so much money, why not invest in a factory? I have regular foreign customers here, and you can make a profit in a year."

Lu Changge touched his nose and said nothing.

It's almost 2008. If he is asked to invest in clothing foreign trade and really makes this decision and writes it into a novel, readers will criticize him to death.

"If you're not happy, forget it. I'll quit my job there and come to you."

Lu Changge was a little surprised, "Is it so straightforward?"

"Didn't you say you had thought it through? Have you thought it through yet?"

Of course he nodded, "I've thought about it."

"If you've made up your mind, then I'll definitely come over. Your parents aren't around, and they're going to spend 700,000 or 800,000 yuan. I have to help them keep an eye on you. My salary is only a pittance."

Family members are just different.

Moreover, his aunt is nine years younger than his father, which is a big age difference. Plus, she is the youngest daughter, so she has been spoiled since she was a child, and she has a very good relationship with Lu Changge.

When he was a child in the countryside, his aunt always took him out to play.

Afterwards, he made an appointment with the designer named Liu Jianbin, and the three of them went to the site to check the actual conditions of Jiangxing Commercial Plaza based on the preliminary design drawings.

A more detailed discussion was conducted on key data such as the entire swimming pool area and the swimming pool area.

The area of the entire venue cannot be as large as he wants. It needs to match the vacant part on the first floor of the shopping mall itself. It is currently the second phase and is expected to open next year. After comparing with Wang Hongcheng, it is about 1,400 square meters.

There are two swimming lanes, one for adults, 21 meters by 50 meters, and another for children, which is much shallower, 5 meters by 25 meters.

The lanes of an adult swimming pool are generally 2.5 meters wide. There can be eight lanes in 21 meters, and the side lanes have to be extended by an additional 0.5 meters, so it is 21 meters in total. This is considered a relatively large swimming pool in a commercial swimming pool and the length is normal.

In fact, later on, there were some swimming pools with four or five lanes and 25 meters in length everywhere, and it felt pretty good to swim in them.

These eight lanes would have different labels: for example, fast lane, slow lane, teaching lane, etc. When summer classes began, two more teaching lanes could be added, leaving fewer fast and slow lanes. This was something Lu Changge came up with later. He felt that he couldn't leave any of them out, otherwise members would have nothing to swim for during the summer.

The rest, such as the changing area, washing area, toilet, etc., are arranged according to the conventional layout.

He would just look at the details, such as where to put the life ladder. Anyway, everything had to follow the rules, and finally it would have to pass the government inspection with Li Fuchun.

It is always easy to draw something on paper, but it is difficult to actually turn the picture into reality.

Of course, if you have money, design drawings, a decoration team, and a venue, and you have communicated with the government about the procedures, then you can start.

This was a big event for Lu Changge in December. After repeatedly revising the design and decoration plans of the swimming pool, he finally decided to sign the contract and start work.

He also named the swimming pool himself, Hailan Bay Swimming Pool, which was quite fashionable at that time.

Lu Xiaohui suggested that he hold a ceremony, but Lu Changge refused because he had to prepare for exams at the end of the year and had no time for those things. It would be better to wait until everything was installed before doing it.

Towards the end of the semester, he skipped classes less and less, because he skipped classes more frequently in the first half of the semester, especially because the English teacher liked to call the roll and called his name many times.

If he hadn't been smart, he would probably have failed the exam.

At the end of December, when everyone was busy celebrating Christmas, Lu Changge welcomed another guest who rarely contacted him.

She is Wu Yiming’s wife.

She is an insurance salesperson. The effectiveness of her work is not reflected in how long she sits in the office. The key is to have orders, so it doesn't matter whether she goes to work or not. Therefore, she has a lot of time.

I have time to make an appointment with Lu Changge in broad daylight.

In fact, this was their first meeting. Mrs. Wu was as plump as he had imagined, with a big mouth that looked like it could eat someone when she smiled.

But when it comes to acting according to the situation, Lu Changge will definitely handle it well.

Mrs. Wu came to give him some hairy crabs, a box of about eight crabs.

Last time, he introduced car insurance for thirteen cars at one time, which established his position in Mrs. Wu's heart.

In addition, Wu Yiming introduced Lu Changge and said that he was investing in the construction of a high-end swimming pool. Didn’t Mrs. Wu understand?
Rich people hang out with rich people.

She also makes money, not shabby.

Of course, Lu Changge also has his own ideas. These "rich wives" also have their own circles. When his swimming pool opens, he must develop some members from her.

Of course, Mrs. Wu, as a senior member, cannot escape.

She was very happy. What was there to be unhappy about having free access to high-end places?

The only problem was that Lu Changge didn't know how to cook crabs. Although he could cook, his cooking skills weren't good enough to handle crabs. He was also worried that if he messed up, he would end up wasting the food, so he called Yin Anyan for help.

Secretary Yin, a delicate girl, was even less likely to do this, but An Yihuan, who was standing by, volunteered to come over and steam the eight crabs.

This woman is strong enough.

Many of his old friends came to the rented house in the teachers' and staff dormitory.

Only Tang Huaicheng blocked him on the balcony with an unnatural expression and said, "Brother Lu, can we talk when you are free?"

"What's wrong? What problem did you encounter?" he asked.

Tang Huaicheng glanced at the living room intentionally or unintentionally, where An Min was chatting with others.

"An Min has a good relationship with Cui Lanxia and is somewhat influenced by her."

Lu Changge understood and patted his shoulder. "This isn't the right place. We'll talk about it later."
