Rebirth of the Almighty Internet Celebrity

Chapter 232
Since the Xie family had "sensely" moved away the things belonging to the Xie family early on, as long as they were slightly valuable, not even a small ceramic ornament was left behind.

In this way, Liang Teng has no psychological burden.

After lunch, Liang Teng took Wu Xia and Yan Qianyu to happily complete the handover of the "Houhai Courtyard" with Artist Xie, and got a long bunch of keys.

There are a lot of keys alone, at least hundreds of them.

There are quite a few rooms, and some keys are duplicated.For example, there are a total of 6 keys for the gate.

All the keys were handed over to Liang Teng.It is useless for the Xie family to keep the lock key.It is estimated that when Boss Liang finds someone to renovate, he will replace all the door locks.

That pile of keys can be used from now until the renovation is completed.There is no use for it after that.

Even if it is used during this period, 100 keys can be easily confused.It's impossible to try to open each door one by one, right?If the door lock of a commercial building needs to be constantly tried and opened, it will be very troublesome.What's more, a "Houhai Siheyuan" like this one covers a large area and has many doors.

Fortunately, artist Xie had already considered such a practical problem.

His solution was to take the trouble to stick a small piece of white tape on each "key", and then clearly mark which door's key it was on the tape.

With the markings, there will be no confusion.

After receiving the "Houhai Courtyard" and the key, Liang Teng and Wu Xia excitedly visited the courtyard again.

This time they revisited their old place. In addition to Yan Qianyu who was the "standard equipment", they also brought a professional decoration designer with them.

This young female designer, of course, was found by Wu Xia.Also a good friend of hers.

When rich people decorate their own "homes", they pay attention to a coordinated and unified decoration style.Neither Liang Teng nor Wu Xia found it difficult to spend hundreds of thousands to hire professionals to design decoration drawings.As long as the design style can make them "satisfied", they will feel that the hundreds of thousands of design fees are well spent.

Of course, designers who earn this design fee professionally can only get money if their customers are satisfied.Otherwise, even if the customer asks her to change the design draft a thousand times, she must change it without complaint.

Having said that, although the designer Wu Xia invited this time is young, his business level has reached the top level.

When the designer first entered the "Houhai Siheyuan" for on-site inspection, he remained silent and just listened to Liang Teng and Wu Xia's statement of decoration requirements?What effect do you hope to achieve? !

The designer's silence and low-key made Liang Teng have an illusion for a moment - is this guy not good enough?
But Wu Xia's friendship with the designer is not a short one. They have been friends for so many years and know the designer's level well.Only then would she strongly recommend to Liang Teng that she be responsible for the whole house design.

After seeing all the buildings of the "Siheyuan", I even opened the door of each room and went in to have a closer look.

In Wu Xia's plan, the appearance and layout of the two two-story buildings that were to be demolished and rebuilt were all handed over to this female designer.The other party also agreed wholeheartedly.

So the hundreds of thousands of design fees actually included the design drawings of two two-story buildings.It's not just about decoration design.

Wu Xia felt that it only cost hundreds of thousands, and it was not expensive to design such a large amount of drawings.

The designers are also very dedicated.Although she was silent during the whole visit to the "Houhai Courtyard", she took photos of almost every part of the building in the "Siheyuan" with her mobile phone.

After this trip, she took at least [-] photos.

If the designer does not use a mobile phone with a large memory space, it is estimated that even the memory of these thousands of photos cannot be accommodated.

The designer drove a compact "Beetle" himself.

When going back, Liang Teng and Wu Xia don't need to send her back.

But before parting, the designer hesitated for a while, but still made up his mind, and solemnly told Liang Teng and Wu Xia about her bold guess.

The designer is purely out of personal preference. She has conducted systematic and in-depth research on the design of some ancient secret rooms.

She feels—now it is just a professional intuition, and there is no direct evidence. In short, she feels that the two two-story buildings of "Houhai Courtyard" seem to have "secret rooms" preset from the perspective of layout.

For the time being, we can only call it a "secret room" because we don't know how big the "secret room" will be.
If it could be as big as a living room, it would be an out-and-out "underground floor".

Liang Teng and Wu Xia were very surprised when they heard the designer's "intuitive" guess.

In such an ancient "siheyuan", there was still the conditions to build a "basement" before?
But if the designer's guess is correct, wouldn't it be a windfall? !

Liang Teng felt that if the "basement" really existed, and it was designed so concealedly, it must be used to store valuables.

You can guess it with your knees.

Otherwise, even if there was a basement, it would be obvious to see the stairs leading to it.Even the descending stairs are hidden. Obviously, they don't want outsiders to know the existence of the "basement".

In it, just hide ordinary things?Who will believe it?

Both Liang Teng and Wu Xia knew that the designer reminded them that there may be secret rooms (and more than one) in the "siheyuan", so they must have a certain degree of certainty.

Otherwise, as a professional, if she made such a big "Oolong" all at once, wouldn't the "client" look down on her level?
The design fee of hundreds of thousands is a lot of money for such a young designer.Of course, she didn't want the design fee she was expected to receive to fall through because of speculation about the "secret room."

After she hesitated, she still decided to tell Liang Teng and Wu Xia about this "guess".

One is quite sure.Secondly, they also found out that they were planning to rebuild the two-story building in the "siheyuan".

To rebuild those two buildings, it is necessary to dig the foundation again.If the "basement" really exists, Liang Teng and Wu Xia will be able to discover the existence of the "basement" sooner or later after digging the foundation.But it's hard to say whether the items hidden in the "secret room" will be damaged during the excavation process.

Therefore, the designer giving them a heads up now is also a disguised gesture of goodwill.

If it is possible to see the long-hidden "basement" because of her kind reminder (it is estimated that the previous owner, Xie Yiren, must not know the existence of the so-called "secret room", otherwise, why there is no mention of a word? And?), Liang Teng and Wu Xia can also think of ways in advance to keep this secret.

That is also the "credit" of the designer.

Not to mention that the two places need to "demolish the old and build the new", there must be no way to keep the secret of the "basement"!As long as she finds out where the entrance of the "basement" is and lets the designer go down to see the design pattern of the basement, she can redesign the two-story building on the basis of the original "foundation".

The original "foundation" was used and two layers were rebuilt.Even the foundation doesn't need to be rebuilt. Liang Teng and Wu Xia have no problem keeping the "basement" secret from the construction workers.

Knowing the location of the entrance of the "basement" and the construction pattern below, the designer should make good use of the original "foundation" when redesigning the drawings. When changing the layout design, the entrance of the basement will not be "accidentally" It was "sealed".

As for using the original foundation to rebuild two floors like this, is it structurally safe?

No need to worry about that at all.

It's just demolishing the old and building a new two floors.As long as the "load-bearing" structure of the basement and the location of the foundation are grasped, the designer can even design a five-story building without having to worry about any safety hazards.

However, this is within the second ring road of the "Emperor Capital", and there is a height limit of 6 meters, so only two floors can be built.That's even better.

With the designer's "reminder", Liang Teng and Wu Xia really had to find the entrance to the so-called "basement" in the two two-story buildings, which was quite a headache.

Just look at one fact and you will know that the difficulty is not small: a professional person like a designer has "dealed" with various "house types" and "patterns" for at least 15 years, and she has not been able to quickly Find the "Basement Entrance".

As non-professionals, Liang Teng and Wu Xia must spend a lot of effort if they want to "gain" something.

Wu Xia even thought that if the "high technology" in film and television works could be invented, it would be a breeze to shoot this "siheyuan" and see through the satellite pictures of the underground to find the "entrance" to the basement.

Unfortunately, I can only think about this matter.Maybe you will never see the birth of such "high technology" in your lifetime.

Liang Teng's imagination is even more exaggerated than Wu Xia's. As the saying goes, "it's better than anything worse."

He didn't think about how to find such a so-called "basement" for the time being.Anyway, as long as the "basement" really exists, he can't find the hidden "entrance", and there is a last resort.

Just find a room, directly open a slightly larger opening on the ground, like piercing through the floor, artificially open an opening, and you can "directly access the basement" through violent means!
However, he would not resort to such "violent" means to open up a passage if he was not desperate!

Since Liang Teng was not worried about finding the entrance to the "basement" (unless it didn't exist), he didn't spend his mind on it right now.Instead, he couldn't help but began to wonder: what kind of stuff is hidden in that extremely hidden "basement"? !

Liang Teng is extremely experienced in the various routines of "Hidden Treasure in the Secret Room".

Liang Teng would not deny the possibility that even a family with an ordinary family background would not have "ancestral wealth".

Because in Liang Teng's previous life, there was a poor family in this village who "made a fortune overnight".

The poor family's ancestors had no "high-ranking officials", no ancestors who made a fortune in business, and none even had a stable job.

The ancestors of the "poor households", if you want to say that the one who got along the best, is what everyone calls "uncle", who once went to "Nanyang" to beg for a living.Returned home only once in a few years.

At first, the people in the same village thought that the "uncle" had done some business in "Nanyang" and came back in a decent appearance, which is the so-called "returning home".At worst, he should be engaged in some "small business".

Otherwise, every time my uncle returns home, how can he spend money recklessly?
Later, as the villagers got to know him better (mainly his uncle revealed it to him after he got drunk), this guy did not engage in any business in "Nanyang" and only relied on his "third hand" to make a living.

To put it bluntly, he is an out-and-out "thief".

Why does "Uncle" steal things first? Cross the "Nanyang" and arrive in a small overseas country before stealing?
Because at that time, the people in the country were too poor, and there were many rich people in the small countries overseas. "Uncle" stole once in Nanyang, but it is worth stealing a thousand times in the Mainland.

Just like that, relying on the unpopular skill of the "third hand", my uncle lived a very comfortable life.

He didn't want to be burdened, neither married nor had children, and he had nothing to worry about.When you get rich by stealing, you eat and drink, and you don't have to worry about food and clothing.When you have physical needs, you can go to the kiln. The "Nanyang" side, this kind of business is completely legal.

It can be regarded as "happy and unrestrained" for more than [-] years.

In a certain month of a certain year, "uncle" met a "master" when he was stealing a guy who looked rich.

That "master" not only dodged the "camera" that "uncle" stretched into his pocket in time, but also let out a low drink, and poked a acupuncture point on "uncle"'s chest fiercely.

"Uncle" didn't feel any pain at that time.

It's just a moment of numbness.After a few minutes I felt nothing at all.

The "master" warned the "uncle": This time, because of being stolen because of resentment, the shot was a bit heavy.He directly tapped one of his important acupuncture points.Slight punishment... If the "uncle" is afraid of death, before this time next year, go to the Liu Mansion at No. XX Avenue in "Xinguo" and ask him to "relieve acupuncture points".Otherwise, your life will be in danger.

All that said, don't blame him for being unpredictable.

After the "master" said those words, he withdrew and left.

"Uncle" never felt any physical discomfort after that, so he just thought the guy was "bluffing" and intimidating him.

The days passed as usual.The second year "uncle" spent the New Year in his hometown.

After the new year, I will be seriously ill.At the beginning, I didn't think about the advice of last year's "master".When he was too sick to move, "uncle" wondered if the words of the "master" last year had come true.

But at this time, he has limited mobility, and there is no "capable person" in his family who can send him to the "Xinguo" Liu Mansion in "Nanyang" to find a "master" to relieve the acupuncture points.

Finally, "uncle" returned to his hometown.

After burying my "uncle", the family found nothing valuable when they were packing up his belongings.

Until many years later, poor households received preferential policies from above: the old houses had to be demolished and new ones built with fire bricks.

In this way, you can get a subsidy of 2 yuan.

So the mud house was demolished and a new house built.

When demolishing the mud wall of the mud house where "uncle" lived, a large package wrapped tightly in plastic was dug out from the wall.
