Chapter 250: Master Nie, Little Nie, the Installer — Security Door Delivery Has Arrived
The middle-aged man in the black suit, after leaving Fang Xiao's home, went to the first floor and turned his head to look toward the management office.
He discovered that inside the management office, Jiang Ran was lying on the bed taking an afternoon nap.
He glanced at Jiang Ran and smiled faintly.
As the person responsible for signing agreements with various lab rats,
like Fang Xiao, he was the one who initially signed him, and any subsequent agreements Fang Xiao signed were also handled by him.
For example, this seven-day trip to Macedonia Island.
Jiang Ran, however, was completely different.
Because Jiang Ran didn't enter by signing an agreement.
He came in by winning a prize from buying a multigrain pancake.
Therefore, his seven-day trip to Macedonia Island would be arranged through another method. ...
1:00 PM.
Jiang Ran was still sleeping.
It must be said, Jiang Ran's job as a temporary manager was too comfortable.
He got paid even for sleeping.
Moreover, in the apartment building, he could sleep openly without fear of someone reporting him;
this was simply the ultimate dream job for any worker.
Of course, anyone who wasn't afraid of dying could come to work at Alice Apartment in Nancheng City.
At this moment, while he was immersed in a beautiful dreamland,
suddenly the ringing of the phone woke him up.
Jiang Ran's phone ringtone was very ordinary, the crisp electronic female voice that came with the phone:
[La la la la, there's a call, there's a call.]
If you don't answer, it keeps repeating.
Unless you answer or hang up.
Jiang Ran was awakened by the phone and answered the call.
He spoke with the voice on the phone for about two minutes before hanging up.
It was a delivery call.
Remember the Grade A security door and tempered glass windows purchased earlier?
They had now been delivered, and the courier was calling to ask if Jiang Ran was home.
So they could deliver them to his door.
They also told Jiang Ran to use the purchase platform to contact an installation technician himself.
Perhaps it was fate.
The security door and tempered glass windows Jiang Ran purchased were from different manufacturers and shipped from different locations.
But they ended up being sent by the same delivery company and arrived at the same time.
About twenty minutes later.
Jiang Ran saw a delivery truck drive into Alice Apartment and stop in front of the apartment building.
Jiang Ran walked up, communicated with the couriers, inspected the goods, and signed.
After completing these tasks, he worked together with the two couriers, using their delivery cart, to make several trips transporting the security door and the custom tempered glass windows to the living room of Room 304.
After the delivery was finished, the two couriers drove away to continue delivering other packages.
So now, all that was left was to wait for the installation technician to arrive.
After waiting about thirty minutes.
Jiang Ran received another call and went to the entrance to meet the installation technician.
He asked the security guard in the security guard booth to open the gate for them.
After the gate opened, the minivan driven by the installation technician came in and parked right at the apartment entrance.
Then, two installation technicians got out of the vehicle.
One was a middle-aged man who looked quite weathered.
He wasn't tall, around 1.6 meters.
His clothing was very simple and plain.
The other was a young guy.
He looked no older than twenty.
Although his clothes were also quite ordinary, his hairstyle was well done, clearly carefully maintained.
At the same time, this young guy had an air of recklessness about him.
After the two got out of the car.
The middle-aged man said to Jiang Ran: "Shall we go install the security door and windows now?"
Jiang Ran nodded.
Then he took the two to the third floor via the elevator.
During the elevator ride, through conversation, he learned.
That young guy who was under twenty, specifically 19 years old, wasn't an installation technician at all.
He was the son of the weathered middle-aged man beside him.
The weathered middle-aged man was the actual installation technician.
As for why the weathered middle-aged man brought his son along while working,
the weathered middle-aged man was quite talkative and explained his son's situation.
The gist was that his son previously lived with his grandparents in their hometown and went to school there.
Because there were too many hoodlums in the hometown who were bad influences.
His son ended up learning from those people and went astray.
He didn't study properly, always skipping classes or getting into relationships.
Especially when it escalated to getting a female classmate pregnant.
The other parents came to the school.
That's when this old father found out.
The outcome was quite simple.
This old father paid for the abortion and an additional 50,000 yuan for emotional damages before the matter was considered settled.
Of course, his son and that female classmate definitely couldn't stay at their original school.
They could only transfer.
His son transferred to a school with even more problematic students and hoodlums.
What happened next was even worse.
His son actually joined others in harassing women and was sent to a juvenile detention center for several months.
After learning about this, the weathered middle-aged man, to prevent his son from getting worse, simply withdrew his son from school.
After withdrawing him, he brought his son to live with him, having him learn these skills as a trade.
This weathered middle-aged man's surname was Nie. Jiang Ran called him Master Nie, and his son Jiang Ran called him Little Nie.
Little Nie was very unhappy hearing his dad tell Jiang Ran about these disgraceful life experiences and complained, asking his dad why he tells everything to others?
Master Nie's response was quite something.
Basically, if you dared to do it, don't blame him for talking about it.
If you had the ability, do something good, and he would definitely spread your good reputation.
Jiang Ran watched from the side, feeling that there must be plenty of conflict between this father and son.
They probably argued frequently.
However, this kind of father-son dynamic like Master Nie and his son Little Nie
was quite common, not rare at all.
At this point, Jiang Ran opened the door to his home, Room 304, and brought Master Nie and Little Nie inside.
After entering, Little Nie looked around Jiang Ran's home and smacked his lips: "Jiang Ran, you're really rich! Your home is quite luxurious!"
Jiang Ran just smiled, didn't answer him, and instead said to Master Nie:
"Master Nie, the door and glass windows are all here."
Master Nie put down the large tool bag he was carrying, placing it to the side.
He pulled out a few tools from it and said: "Alright, leave it to me."
Master Nie planned to install the security door first, then work on the glass windows.
First, he took a look at Jiang Ran's current security door.
After examining it carefully for a moment, he asked Jiang Ran with confusion:
"Hey, isn't this security door perfectly fine? Why replace it?"
Jiang Ran said: "It's because of the thief a few nights ago, otherwise I wouldn't be replacing this security door or the windows."
Master Nie suddenly understood: "No wonder."
"But thieves these days are very skilled. If it's the kind that specializes in this line of work, even if you live on the 10th floor, thieves can still get in, and by climbing up too."
Master Nie started working.
As soon as he started working, he called over Little Nie, who was touring Jiang Ran's home:
"Little Nie, come over quickly! Time to work!!"
Little Nie was currently captivated by the ancient beautiful lady kite made by Wang Nuli, the kite serial killer, which was in Jiang Ran's living room.
He stared at this ancient beautiful lady kite, his eyes revealing unconcealed greed:
"What a beautiful woman! It's a shame she's just a kite. If only there were such a beautiful woman in real life!"
