The intelligent villa home control system; its main functions include: 1. Video intercom (at the front door). 2. Lighting control. 3. Curtain control. 4. Air conditioning control. 5. Background music control. 6. ... 15. Wireless Wi-Fi internet.
Lin Xiao stood at the door of the classroom, took a deep breath, and firmly held the letter containing the secret that his mother had given him.
Lin Xiao excitedly played with the functions of the system, opening and closing the curtains repeatedly, and then playing with the lights and the air conditioning, not missing any of them.
Because of this system, the final cost was much higher than the original, but you get what you pay for.
After playing with everything for almost an hour, he was tired and returned to his bedroom. Seeing the soft, large bed, his legs gave out and he fell onto it directly.
Lin Xiao slowly sank into the bed. High-quality goods were indeed different; lying on it felt like lying on a cloud, soft and without any sense of pressure. He sighed, feeling comfortable.
Such a life was truly comfortable. Now he could eat and sleep, sleep and eat every day. Having his own villa and car was something he couldn't have imagined a few months ago, but now it had all come true, feeling like a dream. However, Lin Xiao was very clear about what had made him suddenly wealthy.
After being full and warm, what would he do? Of course, he would think about girls. But where were they? He didn't know.
According to Chinese tradition, after moving into a new house, one should invite friends to a housewarming party to share the joy.
Lin Xiao did the same. He took out his phone and first found Ye Ding's number, then dialed it.
"Hello, is there something you need, Brother Lin?" Ye Ding answered.
"Yes, Brother Ye, do you have time the day after tomorrow? I just moved into my new villa and want to have a housewarming party. Could you come?" Lin Xiao organized his words and said.
"Brother, what are you talking about? I'll definitely come. Is it in the evening or at noon?" Ye Ding replied.
"At noon. It's a bit far from H City, so it might be inconvenient to go back later." Lin Xiao thought for a moment and answered.
"What's there to be afraid of? Your new villa is big. If you get drunk, you can just sleep over." Ye Ding said generously.
"Still, let's do it at noon. I'll arrange something in the afternoon, and we can have dinner here in the evening." Lin Xiao said.
After ending the call with Ye Ding, Lin Xiao continued to go through his contacts.
Looking at this number, he hesitated for a long time before deciding to call.
"Beep"
"Hello, is this Lin Xiao?" Luo Qingya's gentle voice came from the phone.
"Yes, it's me. Do you have time the day after tomorrow? I just moved into a new house and would like to invite you for a drink. Do you have time?" Lin Xiao asked nervously.
"Sure, let me think about it." Luo Qingya replied.
Lin Xiao anxiously waited for a long time before getting Luo Qingya's response.
"I should have time. Give me the address, and I'll drive there myself." Luo Qingya said again.
"Okay." Lin Xiao gave her the address and hung up the phone.
He continued to contact the next person. Seeing Wu Zuoli's number, he dialed it.
"Hey, little brother Lin finally remembered this big sister. That's quite a feat. How could a busy person like you think of a nobody like me?" Wu Zuoli's seductive voice came through the phone.
Sweat dripped from Lin Xiao's forehead. This frivolous sister took pleasure in teasing him. He had considered for a long time before calling her, but he decided to call Wu Zuoli with a "what will be, will be" attitude.
"Big Sister, I'm calling you, right? Please let me off." Lin Xiao begged.
"Alright, since you're so honest, I'll let you off this time. What do you need?" Wu Zuoli laughed and said.
"Like this, I've moved into a new house, so I want to have a housewarming party. I'm calling to invite you, Big Sister." Lin Xiao replied.
"Is that so? What time?" Wu Zuoli asked.
"The day after tomorrow at noon." Lin Xiao answered.
"Alright, I'll come with my husband, He Pingji. You don't need to notify him." Wu Zuoli said.
"Okay, I'll hang up and continue notifying others." Lin Xiao quickly hung up, feeling relieved.
Today is September 30th, and the day after tomorrow is October 2nd, which is a national holiday. The brothers haven't gathered for a long time. Except for the second brother who is studying abroad, the others should have time. Lin Xiao thought about it and decided to call the eldest brother and the fourth brother.
"Hello, what's up, Third Brother?" Chen Chong said boldly.
"Eldest Brother, do you have time the day after tomorrow at noon?" Lin Xiao asked.
"Yes, I do. Even an iron man needs to rest during the National Day holiday, let alone me. What's up?" Chen Chong asked.
"Like this, I've built a house on that piece of land I mentioned before. The day after tomorrow is the housewarming party. Do you have time to come?" Lin Xiao replied.
"Sure, I'll definitely come. Just send me the address in a text message." Chen Chong hung up without waiting for Lin Xiao, clearly still busy.
He dialed the fourth brother's number again, "Hey, Third Brother, what's up? Why are you thinking of me, little brother?" The fourth brother, Li Shu, said playfully through the phone.
"Am I not supposed to call you? Am I that kind of person?" Lin Xiao was angry.
"Yes, you don't call me for big things, and you don't need me for small things. Of course, you are that kind of person." Li Shu's displeased voice continued.
"Fourth Brother, I just didn't want to bother you since you're busy. The grassroots training is tough, isn't it?" Lin Xiao tried to flatter him.
"Alright, I'm just feeling a bit unbalanced. What do you need? Are you finally getting it, and want to take me to find some girls? Is it 'Heaven and Earth'?" Li Shu instantly returned to his usual style.
"No, don't ruin my reputation. Alright, let's get to the point. I just moved into a new house and want to have a housewarming party the day after tomorrow. Are you coming or not? Just a yes or no." Lin Xiao was angry again.
"Sure, how could I not come? I'm returning to H City for the National Day holiday. How could I miss such a fun event? I'll definitely be there." Li Shu said boldly.
Lin Xiao had no way to deal with his fourth brother. The only solution was to hang up the phone early, or he would be annoyed to death.
He also notified Mr. Chen, but Mr. Chen didn't have time, saying he would accept it in his heart. Lin Xiao expressed his gratitude over the phone, thanking him for his help last time. Mr. Chen said it was nothing, just a small favor.
After more than an hour of busy work, he had notified all the people he knew. Since it was the National Day holiday, everyone happily agreed to come.
Thinking of something, Lin Xiao felt he might need to visit the village chief of Wangjia Village to borrow two people, or it might be too rushed. Looking at the sky, it was already evening. He decided to do it the next day, as there was still time. He could solve it tomorrow.
