Dong Qiangqiang's Story of Leaving Germany

Chapter 963 963. Where are the lotus leaves and lotus flowers?

Since Chanchan rented the Hamburg office, Dong Qiangqiang only met him once when he first rented it. He waited in the cafe downstairs of the office for more than half an hour before he saw Duanmu's red sports car belatedly pull into the parking space on the roadside.

Duanmu pushed the door and got out of the car. There seemed to be someone else in the passenger seat. Before Dong Qiangqiang could see clearly, the bell at the door made a clear ring. Duanmu had already opened the door and walked in. He ordered a cup of coffee and shook his head at Dong Qiangqiang: "Go upstairs and talk. "

The two of them walked out of the cafe. Dong Qiangqiang glanced at the sports car unconsciously, but he saw a magazine being erected in the passenger seat. There was a hand on each side of the magazine. Dong Qiangqiang's first impression was: the other person was a girl. .

Pushing open the office door, a strong smell of curry hit his face. Dong Qiangqiang was originally standing behind Duanmu, but he couldn't help but take a step back. He regretted that he didn't wear a mask, but saw Duanmu striding as if nothing happened. After walking in, he could only bite the bullet and slap his nose hard with his hands while following Duanmu in.

He clearly remembered that he only felt depressed when he first walked into the office. Unexpectedly, he now felt not only depressed but also disgusted.

The floor of the office was littered with rubbish. Some of the furniture that was still sound last time was missing arms and legs. The paintings on the walls were hanging crookedly and crumbling. I don’t know how many nails were missing. There were signs of glue on the four walls. The carpet had the most types of stains, like oil stains. In addition to oil stains, there were also the solidified remains of food dropped on it. The smell that Dong Qiangqiang smelled at the door seemed to come from garbage.

Seeing Dong Qiangqiang looking down at the garbage on the carpet with confusion, Duanmu explained: "Didn't I serve as the second landlord before? This house was rented to a few Romanians. I didn't expect that these people would be so dishonest in addition to being dishonest. Hygiene, you have to be careful when dealing with Eastern Europeans in the future.”

"Not trustworthy?"

"Oh, they failed to pay the rent for two months. When I came over to collect the rent, I found that they had run away and left garbage all over the floor."

"With such a strong curry smell, are you sure they are not Indians?"

Duanmu shrugged, indicating that he was not sure.

"Is this why you called me here?"

"Of course not." Duanmu pulled a chair to sit down, but found that one of the chair legs was shaky. He pushed it aside helplessly and continued to stand. "Next week, several potential customers will come to inspect cicada hunting. They should come to the office. , so I plan to reinstall it.”

"What client?"

"I plan to buy our report."

"What time are you coming next week?"

"The first batch is next Monday afternoon."

"That's only four days including the weekend. You won't be able to find a decoration company in such a rush."

"I don't plan to find a decoration company, clean up the rubbish, paint the walls, and buy a few pieces of furniture."

Only then did Dong Qiangqiang realize: "Good guy, I've been recruited to work as a laborer for you. Tell me, how do we divide the labor? Am I responsible for buying furniture?"

Duanmu smiled slyly: "You are fully responsible this time." "Me? Alone?"

"I have too many things going on lately. In addition to the bad things at work, I also have to discuss several problematic areas with the developer of the stock analysis software we just bought. They are all matters and I really can't get away from it. Let's talk about this. I don't feel comfortable letting others do it, so you have to come. Besides, you have to meet the client with me next week. We can have a good time on the weekend, so I beg you, okay?" Duanmu said with a smile.

Since Duanmu had said so, Dong Qiangqiang didn't want to refute Duanmu's reputation. He thought that he couldn't go back over the weekend, so he had to ask the landlord for a leave first. He had promised to help others clean the yard, and it would be ruined if he gave up his job temporarily. His image in the mind of the landlord.

"What? Do you have anything else to do?" Seeing Dong Qiangqiang was silent, Duanmu thought he was unhappy.

"No, tell me, how do you plan to decorate it simply? Are you going to buy IKEA furniture when you are done with it? What is your budget?"

"To be honest, I didn't intend to pretend to be too good. After all, this place is only for rent. I don't know how long it will be. I always feel that spending too much money on decoration is not worth it." Duanmu paused, tilted his head and continued, "But Well, Sibai will definitely not work. It is too poor and cannot reflect our characteristics. Is there any way you can spend less money and still make us look high-end? Maybe more and more institutions will come to us in the future. There will be big companies if the guarantee is not enough. I think the office of Chanchan can be small, but the overall style must reflect our structure and investment philosophy.”

"Spend less but get high quality..." While Dong Qiangqiang was talking to himself, the set of furniture he ordered for the overseas Chinese suddenly flashed through his mind. He pointed to one of the walls and said, "Isn't it called catching cicadas? Then this side The background color of the wall is golden yellow, and a lotus leaf is painted with a cicada falling on the lotus leaf. A few ancient poems are written on the lotus. After the ancient poem, a red seal is placed. The other three walls are only painted golden yellow, and the lights are painted milky white. The furniture is all in Chinese antique style. The room is too small to accommodate large pieces of Western furniture. It is better to get some Eight Immortals square tables, incense tables, incense tables, desks, Taishi chairs and other combinations to see how to highlight the classical beauty with Chinese artistic conception. , it shouldn’t cost much, what do you think?”

Duanmu thought for a while and questioned: "Creativity is no problem, but what about paintings and furniture? We are all laymen."

"I guess I can't find a professional in such a short time, so I have to do it myself. Anyway, the painting is not good and foreigners won't be able to see it. I just want to pursue an artistic conception. As for the furniture, you can go to the Wanfu Chinese Restaurant in Hamburg. Do you still have any impressions? When the German police raided them last time, I remembered that they had a warehouse for old furniture that had been discarded. I wonder if it is still available. I will ask later if there is any discarded furniture. Come down, if you don’t have one, you’ll have to look where else you can rent a Chinese-style emergency room.”

Dong Qiangqiang's suggestion was both imaginative and practical. Duanmu thought it was really good. If such a small office was decorated in a Western style, no matter how hard it was cleaned up, it would not be effective. It was better to be upright and surprising. He immediately decided to let Dong Qiangqiang go ahead and do it. He conveniently put the tape measure he brought into Dong Qiangqiang's hand and warned: "Without further delay, you can measure (the room) now, and then quickly buy all the things you need to buy, and take advantage of the weekend to do some painting. Don't forget to do it after you finish." If you have time, I will come over and help you."

Dong Qiangqiang took the tape measure and asked, "After installing it like this, do you still plan to rent it out?"

"Then we won't leave. If we do, we will have to move to a bigger place."

"In that case, remember to fill in the address on the official website. I deleted it before you rented it out last time."

"I'll add it in a moment. Remember to keep all the receipts after you buy things, and return to the company for reimbursement." Duanmu said as he walked out the door, "By the way, don't look for a youth hostel at night, just come to my house to sleep. ”

"If you have a sleeping bag, give it to me. I'll be here these days, otherwise it'll be too late."

Duanmu patted Dong Qiangqiang's arm gratefully: "Brother, it's great to have you."

Dong Qiangqiang nodded: "Let's go, don't make people wait impatiently."

Duanmu was stunned for a moment and stammered: "Wha...who is that person?"

"That girl in the passenger seat, hurry up and drive slowly. Remember to bring me the sleeping bag."

Duanmu hesitated to speak, but finally said nothing, patted his legs and left.
