Chapter 52 Garage Space, What a waste of those lighting effects
Ling Yue went to the hospital for a follow-up checkup.
"Among so many patients, you are the one with the best recovery I have ever seen!" The attending physician, Dr. Liu, looked at Ling Yue with eyes full of approval.
Ling Yue thought to herself, with so much money poured into it, nourishing both the body and the mind, how could her condition not be good?
She broke into a big smile and asked, "Then does that mean I can return to a normal diet?"
"Just about, but don't overeat, avoid overly spicy, greasy, or hard foods, and alcohol. You can eat normally otherwise." Dr. Liu was in a very good mood when he encountered an obedient patient.
Ling Yue's small face fell.
This was too much of a difference.
Oh well, as long as her body could get better, it was fine.
Ling Yue thanked him and picked up the follow-up stabilizing medication.
Carrying a large bag of medicine, she strolled slowly out of the hospital and headed straight for the car parked by the roadside.
Master Qin didn't rush to drive off. Instead, he put away his phone and relayed the latest news: "Boss, the cleaning at Bamboo Forest Residence is done. The property manager just messaged to say that all the items moved over have been arranged. Should we go there directly now?"
After resigning, Ling Yue had started the process of moving.
First, she hired a cleaning company to deep clean Unit 013 of Bamboo Forest Residence and hired a gardener to repair the garden. Early this morning, the moving company arrived. Their professional speed was fast; everything was packed up and settled in two hours.
"Let's go straight to Bamboo Forest Residence. That's where I'll be living from now on," Ling Yue said.
The car started moving slowly.
Ling Yue opened the 'Tongfu Inn' group chat and sent the location.
Ling Yue: @Everyone. From today on, I've moved to this place. Everyone, come here to meet by noon.
She had been talking about moving for a while, so everyone was somewhat prepared.
Luo Shanshan: Received!
Qu Shu: Received!
Wang Junqi: Should I bring the kitchenware from Yujing No. 1?
This guy, he never forgets his pots and ladles no matter where he goes.
Ling Yue: Bamboo Forest Residence has everything, but if there are tools you are used to, bring them.
Wang Junqi: Okay.
During the time she spent resting with her eyes closed, the car slowly drove into the gate of Bamboo Forest Residence.
The car had a dedicated driveway. On both sides of the road were low-density bamboo forests with pebbles paved underneath. Looking up, one could see the azure sky. The blue and green complemented each other, fresh and natural.
As the car drove a bit further, a sprawling garden came into view, featuring rockeries and water, small bridges and waterfalls, bamboo gazebos, and shaded walkways.
The public area environment was truly impeccable.
The car stopped at the garage gate. The automatic recognition system identified the license plate, and the gate began to slide open slowly. Once the gate was fully open, the garage lights lit up one row after another.
It felt as if the car was about to walk the red carpet.
Ling Yue: "Tsk."
Master Qin looked through the rearview mirror and saw his boss frowning. He didn't know if she was feeling unwell or if she was dissatisfied with something.
"Boss, are you carsick?" he asked tentatively.
Ling Yue shook her head and waved her right index finger in front of her chest. "The garage is too empty; it's a waste of these lighting effects."
Master Qin silently withdrew his hand, which had been reaching for the motion sickness ointment.
The villa was clean everywhere; not even a speck of dust could be seen in the corners. The floor was so shiny it could reflect one's face, and the curtains had a warm, sun-dried scent after being washed. It was truly worthy of a cleaning team that cost 250,000.
Taking the elevator to the first floor, the floor heating was already on throughout the house. Ling Yue was only wearing a sweater and a Chanel tweed jacket, and she actually felt hot.
She pushed open the living room door and saw the garden, which was filled with the rich atmosphere of spring. The cold wind that hit her face made her shiver.
However, the scenery before her eyes was so beautiful that it made her ignore the cold.
The withered grass on the garden floor and the weeds in the gaps of the stone slabs had been cleared away. The overgrown potted plants had been pruned into full, rounded shapes. In the carefully tended flower beds, several clusters of flowers that Ling Yue couldn't identify were budding, attracting butterflies to stop and linger.
The plants were sprouting tender buds, and having just been watered, the bright green leaves were hung with crystal-clear water droplets. They twinkled under the sun, shining as brilliantly as finely cut diamonds.
Seeing someone on the shore, the large and small goldfish in the pond swarmed over from all directions, swimming back and forth in groups in front of Ling Yue. Although they couldn't speak, from the frequency of their tail movements and the bubbles rippling on the water's surface, Ling Yue felt they must be saying: Human, give fish food!
"Where is the fish food?" Ling Yue turned her head to look at the property manager.
Whether it was cleaning or moving, everything had been completed under the property manager's supervision.
Sure enough, the property manager walked to the gazebo, picked up a transparent box from the stone table, and handed it to Ling Yue. "It was just fed this morning."
Upon hearing this, Ling Yue only pinched a small handful of fish food and sprinkled it into the lake.
In order to snatch the food, one or two were almost leaping out of the water. They were snatching it so fiercely that the pond water was splashing onto the path.
This lively scene amused Ling Yue.
She clapped her hands, handed the fish food back to the property manager, and while operating her phone, said: "You've worked hard these past few days. I've transferred ten thousand yuan to you as a bonus for your hard work."
The property manager was slightly stunned, but quickly composed her excitement and said with a smile: "Thank you, Miss Ling. This is all part of my job."
Although being a property manager for a villa was troublesome and one had to be used as private labor by the owners from time to time, one had to admit that these rich people were truly generous.
Picking up the trash they threw away was a considerable income every month, not to mention the occasional surprise of a "gold coin explosion."
The property manager accepted the money. Although she didn't show it on her face, she was very happy. She put her hands behind her back, tapped lightly, and even her steps became much lighter.
The bedding in the master bedroom was newly changed and had a faint scent of pine, which was a smell Ling Yue liked.
Actually, there weren't many things moved over from Jingyu No. 1.
Most of the jewelry and gold had been moved over and placed in a custom ten-tier rotating display cabinet, which was full without a single empty spot. However, the display stand in the middle of the walk-in closet was still empty.
Half of the clothes had been moved over, and they hadn't even used one-tenth of the walk-in closet.
As expected, a big house is a must.
The property manager received a message, walked quickly to Ling Yue's side, and said softly: "Miss Ling, your nutritionist team has arrived."
As she spoke, she brought the real-time surveillance of the main gate to Ling Yue.
"Boss, we're here!" Luo Shanshan waved at the camera.
Qu Shu also leaned into the camera, her eyes sparkling.
Only Wang Junqi, carrying large bags and small packages, stood honestly behind the two of them, like a bellhop carrying luggage.
Ling Yue smiled and said to the property manager: "Let them in."
"I'll arrange it right away."
The property manager's service was very thoughtful; after bringing Luo Shanshan and the others in, she left.
When the three of them first entered, they were very restrained, but as soon as they saw Ling Yue, they immediately felt at ease.
Qu Shu carried a large bag of ingredients forward and said: "Boss, Jingyu No. 1 has been cleaned up. We watched the cleaners finish, and we turned off the water, electricity, and gas before coming over."
Ling Yue had originally agreed that specific people would do specific tasks, but perhaps because she paid high wages, Qu Shu and the others always involuntarily took on other work.
This definitely wouldn't work in the long run; she should hire a housekeeper like the previous owner to manage all this mess.
Take it one step at a time; settle the people first, then deal with the rest.
Ling Yue nodded with a smile. "Well done. You go put your things down first, and then come over; I have something to tell you."
The three of them looked at each other and went to the kitchen under Master Qin's guidance.
Before long, all four returned.
They stood in a neat line in the living room. Ling Yue looked up, and her neck felt a bit sore.
"...Sit down."
With Ling Yue's approval, the four of them sat on the sofa opposite her at the same time.
Ling Yue rubbed her sore neck and looked at them levelly. "I will be living here for a long time to come. When we signed the contract, there was an item for live-in service. Since the villa has quite a few rooms, I'd like you to move in as soon as possible."
Master Qin raised his hand and said embarrassedly: "Boss, I might not be able to live in."
Ling Yue smiled helplessly. "I know, our contract didn't specify that."
"..." Master Qin scratched his head even more embarrassedly.
Luo Shanshan started to plan. "Then I'll go home this afternoon to move my luggage over and return the apartment while I'm at it. I've rented that place for two years, so I don't have to pay a penalty for terminating the lease early."
Qu Shu also made up her mind. "Then I'll move today too."
She had originally planned to move anyway, so this worked out perfectly.
A qualified ex-boyfriend should disappear from the other person's world without a sound, but her ex-boyfriend kept spouting nonsense every day and coming over to ask for reconciliation; it was incredibly annoying.
Wang Junqi was silent for a moment and said: "Can I move tomorrow? I have a lot of stuff, and I need to pack."
There was no need to guess; he was going to pick out some handy pots and pans to bring over.
Ling Yue scratched her eyebrow. "Moving in within three days is fine. If you lack any tools, ask Qu Shu for money to buy them. Next, I'll take you to see the rooms."
