Fox in the Penalty Area

1st

Hu Lai thought that was all for the museum.

He left everything to his mother to take care of. Firstly, he couldn't help much while he was abroad, and secondly, there was nothing he needed help with.

He is already looking forward to the completion and opening of his museum.

If possible, he hopes to perfectly recreate the scene of his original secret base in the yard outside the villa in a 1:1 ratio...

But all this has to wait until my mother buys the house.

Although he said yesterday that the house was good, he couldn't finalize it so quickly. He had to look at a few more houses, right?

Then Hu Lai received a call from Song Jiajia.

"I went back yesterday and thought about it. I don't think it's necessary for my aunt to do it by herself."

"Why?" Hu Lai asked.

"Do you want to build a 'museum' for your own entertainment, or a serious museum?"

"What is a 'self-entertainment museum'?"

"My aunt bought a house in your community and decorated it as an honor room for her own entertainment. Now my aunt has just enlarged this honor room, from a flat floor in the community to a large villa. There is no difference in the above. After doing it, transfer the trophy, and then declare it to the outside world as your museum. If it does not sell tickets to the outside world and is open for free, no one will probably care about it. But to put it bluntly, it is still a small matter... "

Song Jiajia explained to Hu Lai.

"But if we want to seriously open a museum, it will be much more troublesome than it is now. I think it is very difficult to accomplish it with my aunt's enthusiasm alone. Even if it is accomplished, it will take a huge amount of time. and energy. So how about we form a partnership and set up a cultural company specifically to handle museum matters. Apply to the competent government departments for procedures, buy land and build a venue yourself, or rent a venue. If you want to do it, just do it in a formal way. Go big. What do you think?"

Hu Lai really didn't think about it so much. At first, he thought that if his mother wanted to build a museum, it would be just a big house, put all the trophies in it, and have people come to visit.

Now listening to what Song Jiajia said, he also felt that it would be really difficult to just follow his mother's ideas. Let’s talk about the simplest question—the museum is built in a residential area, how can it be opened to the public? Generally, high-end villa areas are managed in a closed manner, and outsiders are not allowed to enter at will.

If outsiders can't come in easily, how can they visit the museum?

No one visits, why is this museum built?

If it were just a room of honor, wouldn’t my mother’s room of honor be enough now?

If it's not enough, even if you buy a house next door, it will cost less than buying a villa.

The only problem...

"But it was obviously my mother who brought this up.

In the end, if we set up a cultural company to take over the matter, will it make her feel uncomfortable as if she was picked off the peach? " he asked Song Jiajia.

"Hey, let's set up a cultural company. We can hire my aunt to be the person in charge of the museum project. After the museum is built, she will be the director! Anyway, it doesn't matter whether she is in the class or not. She just resigned and will go all out. She may be even happier because she is busy with the museum project." Song Jiajia comforted Hu Lai.

When Hu Lai heard it, he thought it was indeed possible.

He knew his mother's situation very well, and basically no one cared about her in that public institution. If you want to go to work, just go. If you don't want to, just ask for leave from the director.

It wasn't a particularly busy unit to begin with. It would be a lot less if one person was missing her, but not much if one person was more than her.

The reason why I have never resigned is because I am approaching the retirement age and it would be a pity to resign from the previous decades of service. On the other hand, I don’t know what to do if I resign. I might as well work as a foreigner in my original employer and earn social security benefits.

Now since she proposed the museum, she must be willing to devote her energy to it, and it can be regarded as her mother's "career".

If she were asked to resign and come here, she wouldn't refuse.

"Okay, let me tell my mother."

"Tell me. Just ask your aunt to contact me. The company will have someone to take her to go through the procedures... If she finds it troublesome and doesn't want to run away, she can also leave it to our company. There will be professionals who will handle everything throughout the process. She We just need to wait until the museum is completed to take up the post of director." Song Jiajia considered it very carefully.

After hanging up Song Jiajia's phone, Hu Lai looked at Li Qingqing: "Yes, my mother's work was in vain."

"The hard work is not in vain. She must also hope to see the museum project formalized." Li Qingqing said with a smile. "You talk to mom, she will definitely understand."

Hu Lai felt overwhelmed when he thought that his mother was the most difficult opponent in his career.

But I still have to make the call because it's business.

And it has to be done as soon as possible. Otherwise, wouldn’t it be a huge waste to delay it for a few days and buy all the houses for my mother? You must know that Hu Lai is very aware of how amazing his mother's mobility is...

So Hu Lai looked at the current time in China and dialed his mother's WeChat voicemail.

After waiting for the call to be connected, Hu Lai conveyed Song Jiajia's message to his mother.

Sure enough, my mother's disappointed voice came from the other end: "Huh? So you bought that house for free?"

"Actually, it's not bad. If you look at it a few more times, it would be called... buying it in vain?" Hu Lai suddenly noticed the key word as he spoke. "What did you buy for free?"

"A house. It's the house I showed you yesterday."

"No...Mom, did you all buy it?"

"That's right. Isn't that what you said?"

"When did I say that's all? I said it looks good!"

"Hey, kid, since it looks good, shouldn't you buy it?"

"I……"

Hu Lai was stunned.

He realized that he seemed to have underestimated something...

Underestimating his fucking mobility!

"If you said yes, then I would definitely listen to your opinion. So I made the decision to buy it on the spot. The deposit was paid and the contract was signed..."

Hu Lai covered his face.

Li Qingqing was holding back her laughter - Aunt Xie is so cute!

Xie Lan was still chattering: "But now that Fatty Song has told you that we don't need to buy a house ourselves, wouldn't it mean that we bought this house for nothing? Let me tell you, it's not cheap, more than 27 million..."

Hu Lai quickly interrupted his mother's complaint and comforted her: "It's okay. Since I have already bought it, forget it..."

More than 27 million yuan is indeed not cheap, but for Hu Lai now, it is not that he cannot afford the money.

The key is my mother's mood. I can't make my mother unhappy just for the sake of more than 27 million. The trouble would be much greater than the loss of 27 million...

"Hey, I have it!"

Unexpectedly, Xie Lan adjusted herself and slapped her.

"Since I've bought everything, let's treat it as a wedding house for you and Qingqing!"

Hu Lai:? ? ?

Li Qingqing didn't laugh either.

Xie Lan took her mobile phone and returned to the study humming a song.

Hu Lixin turned to him and asked, "What does he want from you?"

Xie Lan changed his expression and sighed: "Oh, I bought the house for nothing."

"Buy it for free?" Hu Lixin was so frightened that everyone sat upright. "Why did you buy it for free?"

Xie Lan told Hu Lixin about Song Jiajia's thoughts.

After hearing this, Hu Lixin felt that Song Jiajia was more thoughtful and he was right.

But in this case, the villa was really bought for nothing.

He only felt heartache...

A house worth twenty-seven million yuan!

Although his son is making a lot of money now, professional players only live for their youth, so they have to consider what they will do after retirement, right?

Buying a house like a villa that they have absolutely no use for is a waste!

"It's all your fault, you started too quickly!" he complained.

But the wife chuckled and said proudly: "It's okay, I've already agreed with them that this house will be bought as their wedding room! For the sake of this house, they have to give up their wedding as soon as possible." Am I married?"

Hu Lixin was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect his wife to be able to "make up for it" like this.

Then he thought about it again and realized that it could indeed be done.

Hu Lai and Li Qingqing will get married in the future. If the wedding room is placed in the current house, it will be a bit "shabby".

It makes sense to buy a large villa as their future wedding room!

But he still reminded his wife: "You can rush this marriage, but you don't push Qingqing to have children. For professional athletes, having children will delay their careers."

"How could I not understand this?" Xie Lan waved her hands, feeling that her husband thought of her as too ignorant. "Female football players generally cannot play football after 16 weeks of pregnancy."

Hu Lixin was a little surprised: "Eh? How did you know?"

"I went to check it specifically!"

"You still want to hold your grandchildren!"

"Who doesn't want to do that? But it depends on the specific situation. Both of their careers are on the rise now, so I don't want to. The worst thing is waiting until retirement. When you retire, you will only be in your thirties, and you can still have children."

Xie Lan obviously had it all planned.

Such a wife left Hu Lixin speechless.
