Chapter 608: Chapter 271: Blueprint Problem_1

"Yan Xiaofei, didn’t Professor Qi mention something about giving us a piece of land to build a house on yesterday?" Miss Xu Xiaoyan ran into the kitchen first thing in the morning, asking Yan Fei, who was cooking breakfast.

"Yeah! We even planned last night about how we’re going to build it, did you forget already?" Yan Fei replied, as he lifted the pot lid to check on the porridge. He turned his head and got a shock, "Go get dressed properly, aren’t you afraid of catching a cold, running out like this?"

The girl had bolted out in her bedding, with her clothes barely on.

"Okay!" Miss Xu Xiaoyan nodded and went back still wrapped in her blanket.

Just as she entered the living room, she let out an excited cheer, "Ah! We’re going to have our own house, Yan Xiaofei and I..."

Hearing her joyful shouts from outside, Yan Fei smirked, "As if we didn’t have a house before..."

Just as he was talking to himself, she rushed back in, stretching her arms out and wrapping Yan Fei into her blanket like a clam fairy, "Yan Xiaofei, we’re going to have our own home..."

After saying that, she planted a kiss on his confused face, and ran off again with a burst of laughter.

"This wife of mine is crazy..." Yan Fei muttered. "Sleeping with such heavy clothing, isn’t she uncomfortable?"

He didn’t realize what was going on in her head. Even though there were plenty of houses at home, they had been living there for more than a decade and all the neighbors were familiar faces, so being with Yan Fei there felt somewhat restrictive. The rented house in the Provincial City, being not their own, didn’t give them a sense of security. Now that they’re building their own house on their own land, their personal space, it surely felt different!

A free and love-filled nest for the two of them. Just the thought of it was enough to intoxicate her...

To Yan Fei, her inexplicable good mood persisted all the way to school. She boldly ignored the scrutiny of passersby from time to time, bumped into him cheekily with a giggle, even as she trotted around carrying things into the dormitory building. He anticipated her high spirits would last for several more days.

So, Yan Fei also felt brightened up, humming an old song titled ’A River So Wide, Waves Rolling Wide’, as he strolled to the Agricultural University.

As he got to the part about having a shotgun ready in case of wolves, he felt even better—so he substituted the shotgun with honey and couldn’t stop chuckling.

He was pretty proud of himself, having sneaked some honey into someone’s water bottle at Zhongyuan Hotel the previous night. Despite the mischievous act, the effect was quite satisfying, right? He guessed the Third Young Master Guo and his gang must have had a sleepless night...

Well, he was wrong about that. Only Third Young Master Guo and his siblings knew they hadn’t slept well, but Guo knew that he himself had a sound sleep. Especially after pouring himself a glass of honey water and taking a few sips before downing the rest, falling asleep with a hearty laugh.

Even mumbled something in his sleep, "Boss Yan is simply too hospitable and too careful. I want to swear at him, but can’t find anything to start with..."

No one knew what dream he was having.

After meeting Yan Fei, Professor Qi made a call and a young man came over. After listening to the set of instructions over the phone, he came in with a person who looked quite like a boss.

The four of them drove to finish the paperwork. The young man and Professor Qi left once it was done, delegating everything else to the boss-like man.

The young man had explained on the way that this unremarkable guy, Wang Lei or Boss Wang, was the contractor for the school’s dormitory project. He was well-versed in handling construction permits, making it more convenient to go with him.

After Professor Qi and the others left, Boss Wang looked at Yan Fei with a hint of envy, "Where are you from, Student Yan? The land is in a great location. It’s not just anyone who can get that. What’s your relationship with Professor Qi?"

While he did feel envy, what he really wanted was to understand the background. Nowadays, land in these parts wasn’t a big deal. Since he was given this task by the school’s authorities, it was only reasonable to find out more about the client. It would be useful to know for future dealings, right?

"No special relationship, just a usual student-teacher bond. I got some high-yield crop seeds from my hometown and gave them to Professor Qi. He asked if I had any wishes, and I said I wanted to build a house here." Yan Fei lied with a straight face.

It wouldn’t exactly be a lie, it was like that at the beginning. Of course, initially, only seeds were provided. Before the incident of saving life with medicinal wine, were prepared to thank himself with such a large piece of land. No one knows about it.

"Oh? What kind of seeds are so valuable?" Boss Wang wanted to maintain his composure, but when he heard Yan Fei speak, he almost drove the car onto the curb. Can we stop exaggerating?

"It’s just some watermelon, tomato and so on, all common things." Yan Fei secretly chuckled inside.

In Yan Fei’s eyes, modern property developers are now known as "contractors". The housing price in the provincial city is only a few hundred dollars. Although Boss Wang is a boss, and the way he carries himself seems to align with it, but considering the fact that when the university calls him, he came in person, it indicates that he is not such a big boss after all.

Plus, his car is obviously as old as a thirty-year-old cow, and from the sound of it, you can tell it’s not far from being scrapped. It can’t compare to the car he just rode in school, and most importantly, he doesn’t have an old school mobile phone. It’s no wonder they say that a person depends on the clothes he wears, a horse depends on its saddle and the boss depends on the old school mobile phone. Now that Yan Fei has seen several bosses with old school mobile phones, he can’t consider those without it to be big bosses.

Of course, even if he’s not a big boss, being able to take a dormitory building definitely makes him bigger than Yan Fei imagined. At least he has experience. It’s clear that the plot of land is worth a few tens of thousands of dollars, and it’s not something ordinary people can buy even if they want to. Can they believe Yan Fei’s nonsense?

"That’s it?" Boss Wang was skeptical.

"Yeah, that’s it!" Yan Fei answered definitively.

Originally skeptical, Boss Wang looked at Yan Fei’s placid face in the mirror, then took a look at his attire. He couldn’t see any signs of lying. Therefore, relying on his broad range of experience, he started to believe Yan Fei a little─probably it was some rare seeds, but Yan Fei had to keep it a secret, so he said they were ordinary seeds? Boss Wang reasoned in his heart.

So, he started to lose his composure, his facial expression changing. He probably started wondering if he should go into some deep mountain or old forest to find some seeds to give to a professor. After all, that piece of land couldn’t be bought with money?

When they arrived at the destination, Boss Wang immediately asked, "Student Yan, have you brought the blueprint for your house?"

When Yan Fei showed his own ’blueprint’, Boss Wang was instantly at a loss for words; after a long pause, he finally asked, "This is your blueprint for building a house?"

"Yeah! This doesn’t need to be so complicated. These drawings were added later when I thought about how to make the house comfortable after it’s built. I didn’t have time to redo it last night because I was in a hurry,." Yan Fei pointed to his abstract painting. "Look, a circle of walls, a few tile houses in the middle, kitchen, toilet, chicken coop, dog kennel, the place where I drew the tree, I will plant trees in the future, the place where I drew the grass, I will plant vegetables in the future..."

"Hold on, hold on, I mean, there are no dimensions in this... wait, what are these on it?" Boss Wang sputtered, in his heart, he had already cursed Yan Fei countless times.

"For the dimensions, just think of the size of the usual large tile house, wait, let me annotate it for you now!" Yan Fei thought he should feel embarrassed, his ’blueprint’ was indeed too rudimentary.

"No, no, no..." Boss Wang stuttered, in his heart, it felt like a stampede of horses─ If you weren’t connected with the higher-ups at the school, if I weren’t currently working for the school and dared not offend people casually, I would have thrown you out of the car, believe it or not? No, it’s not satisfying enough to just throw you out, I wish I could run you over with the car a few dozen times, a few dozen times..."

"Here’s what we’ll do! Student Yan, let me discuss it with you. I have some blueprints here as well. You can have a look first." The almost collapsed Boss Wang thought for a long time, and finally, by virtue of his many years of accumulation and rationality, he managed to suppress the thought of throwing someone out. "Let me see, you’re planning to enclose the land with a circular wall and build a few houses in the middle, then plant flowers, shrubs, and trees all around, right?"

As he asked, he felt glad in his heart. Thanks to his busyness and laziness, these various blueprints haven’t been cleared out from the car, otherwise, he wouldn’t be able to serve this young master now!

"Yes!" Yan Fei knew that his blueprints were a bit unreliable, but he still stubbornly defended them. "Look at my blueprint, don’t you understand it at a glance?"

I understand fuck all...

Boss Wang couldn’t help but swear inwardly, yet smiled on the surface, "How about these blueprints of mine? They were used before when I was building houses for others. You don’t need to look at the dimensions on it, just consider the layout, how about that?"

"Are these for a building?" Yan Fei took a quick look at the blueprints then asked.

"Yes, it’s a building. You want to build a tile house, right? How about this, it will be a tile house, just one storey, don’t consider the upper parts. Let’s build an L-shaped house, in front of the house there will be a front eave passage in case it rains. As your house is next to the road, you can place the toilet outside a bit, the sewer pipe can directly connect to the road sewer, you don’t have to think about other things. How about that?" Boss Wang patiently explained.
