Chapter 126 The Ewha King
"Yes."
The black and white calico cat nodded slightly: "Then come with me."
He then started to lead her outside.
Pei Hening took two steps, then realized something was wrong and stopped.
Why aren't you keeping up?
Pei Hening looked up at him, pointed to the two-story building behind her and said, "I'm in charge of decorating this house."
The black and white calico cat's tone became tinged with barely perceptible anxiety: "I own more than just this one property. Come out first, and I'll give you a tip."
Pei Hening sensed his anxiety and knew there was no way she would leave with him.
"Do you have evidence to prove that you are the owner of this building?"
The next second, the black and white calico cat seemed to be frightened by something, let out a shriek, and darted out of the yard.
"White Claw! If I see you lying again, I'll beat you into a flat pig!"
A clear female voice rang out from behind Pei Hening.
The black and white tuxedo cat, whose paws were white, screamed, "Okay, okay! My paws are better now!"
She turned her head and saw clearly the creature speaking: a Chinese domestic cat with bright green eyes.
She was wearing a hip-hop style tracksuit, and there was a small piece missing from the tip of her left ear.
"Hello, I am the owner of this small building. You can call me King Pear Blossom."
"Come with me."
After King Pear Blossom finished speaking, he led Pei Hening into the small building.
Pei Hening: "King Pear Blossom, does that guy named White Claw often lie?"
King Pear Blossom tapped her fluffy head: "Yes, White Claw has more than a dozen unfinished houses in Donglan County. He often tricks the municipal department into sending renovation workers to renovate his houses for free."
Pei Hening:...
Do cats also resort to trickery and deception?
Has White Claw ever succeeded?
King Pear Blossom glanced at Pei Hening with a hint of disdain, and said helplessly, "Yeah, you decorators aren't very bright. You often get cheated. The last decorator who came to decorate my house was cheated by him. When I was settling my wages, I found out that my house hadn't been decorated, so I went and beat up White Claw. Now he's crippled."
Pei Hening said dryly, "King Pear Blossom is very powerful."
King Pear Blossom proudly raised his head: "Don't think that just because you say nice things, I'll give you a 100% satisfaction rating. I'm not that shallow, Mimi."
Pei Hening ultimately remained silent.
King Pear Blossom led her around and handed her the original structural drawings of the building: "I don't have high requirements for the living environment, as long as I can live there."
Pei Hening took it: "I will give you a renovation design plan."
King Pear Blossom waved his hand: "Whatever, just call me if you need anything."
After she finished speaking, she walked away with a cat-like gait.
Pei Hening took out his cell phone and one hundred copper coins from his pocket.
She tried to use her savings account, but found she couldn't.
It seems the game doesn't allow her to cheat.
Pei Hening opened her phone and found the contact information for the Pear Blossom King, a forum for decorators, and a map of Donglan County.
She opened the map, quickly found the address of the nearest hardware store, and went out.
Hardware store.
The long-haired Ragdoll cat had a braid on her head, and her blue cat eyes lazily looked at her as she casually painted her nails: "What do you want?"
"A measuring tape is used to measure the dimensions of a house."
The long-haired Ragdoll cat placed the measuring tape on the table and said, "Two hundred copper coins."
Pei Hening only had one hundred copper coins in her pocket. She asked, "Can I put it on my tab first? I'm a decorator at 'Happy Mimi's Home'."
She had to coax and plead with the long-haired Ragdoll cat before it finally agreed.
Pei Hening took the opportunity to grab some more tools, noted them down, and headed back.
Although she had the original structural diagram, she still wanted to measure the building's dimensions herself.
After returning to the two-story building, she began to take measurements and recorded the data, discovering that there was indeed a difference.
She opened the renovation workers' forum, edited a post, and sent it out.
[Happy Mimi Home · Little Drop]: I made a small discovery. The data on the original structure diagram is different from the actual data. I rent out measuring tapes for 10 copper coins for half an hour.
The post had barely been published when someone started commenting.
[Xiaozhao]: You're even renting out a measuring tape? Are you out of your mind? How much does a measuring tape cost?
[Xiao Kao]: Original structural diagram? Where did you get it? I don't have it.
[Xiao Fu]: Rent me! Rent me!
[Xiao Le]: Xiao Zao, if you're not poor, give me the money. A measuring tape costs two hundred copper coins at a hardware store.
[Xiao Fa]: To queue.
When Pei Hening went to the hardware store, she took the opportunity to learn about the surrounding area.
All the new buildings constructed by the municipal authorities are located within this residential area. In addition to these eight two-story buildings standing side by side, there are also two high-rise buildings built behind them.
She had observed that the renovation workers from "Happy Mimi's Home" mostly worked around here. She had already recorded all the necessary data, so keeping the measuring tape was pointless; she might as well make the most of it.
She rented out the measuring tape and gave the address so the renter could come find her.
Pei Hening found a flat stool and started drawing again.
She had never owned a cat, but she had absorbed a lot of fragmented information about cats.
Cats prefer a quiet, warm, and safe living environment that also meets their needs for exploration, solitude, and scratching.
She plans to design in this direction.
"Knock knock—"
Pei Hening put down her pen and went to open the door.
Standing outside the door was an older woman, about 1.6 meters tall, wearing a construction worker's uniform. Her short hair was neatly combed, and she had an upright posture, looking energetic and full of vitality.
"Hello, I'm a decorator who rents out measuring tapes."
The aunt paused for a moment, then added, "I am Xiao Fu."
After verifying the person's identity, Pei Hening handed over the measuring tape: "Please return it when you're done, thank you."
"OK."
After the aunt left, she was about to close the door when she saw White Claw limping out...
Did he get beaten up by the Pear Blossom King?
