"Hmm, why isn't he picking up the phone? It's past twelve now, it should be lunchtime. My dad's doing renovation work, they usually rest at noon. He should pick up the phone." Luo Feng puzzled, tapped on the 'phone location tracking' function on his screen. Soon, the map of Yangzhou City appeared on his phone screen, with one red dot marking Luo Feng's own location and another green dot indicating his father's phone's location.
"He's not too far from me."
Luo Feng immediately understood his father's current location and couldn't help but smile, "I'll run to dad and tell him the news of me becoming a quasi-warrior."
Immediately, according to the map on his phone, Luo Feng rushed over.
...
Yi'an District, Tiandu Garden Community.
"Hurry up, move your things quickly so you can rest and have lunch. We want to have our lunch too." In the private courtyard of one of the row villas in the community, a man in a white T-shirt and white trousers, Zhang Haobai, urged impatiently. Three stern-faced bodyguards stood beside him.
"Sir, please be patient. These furniture items are valuable and we can't afford to be careless. Come on, guys, put in more effort!" Outside the private courtyard, there was a truck parked on the road, and on the truck were securely wrapped wooden furniture.
Wooden furniture was very expensive in this day and age, considered a luxury item for the few!
Because tree planting areas were extremely rare within human settlements, mostly used for beautification purposes. Although there were plenty of trees growing outside human settlements, there were also monsters there. It was clear that the cost of cutting down and transporting trees was very high!
Most households nowadays had plastic furniture, and the upscale ones had glass furniture.
"Be careful."
The employees of the decoration company carefully moved the heavy furniture from the truck to the ground. Then, three employees carefully carried the furniture into the private courtyard.
"Be careful."
Zhang Haobai reminded them with a frown, "This is solid wood furniture made from top-quality wood. If you damage it, your boss will definitely hold you accountable."
"Whew, whew."
The three employees carefully moved the furniture. The materials used in this furniture were excellent, and it was very heavy, weighing over a thousand catties. The three employees found it quite strenuous to carry.
"Guys, take a break first. We'll move it into the house in one go later." The leading employee carrying the furniture said, "Place the furniture here for now, gently and slowly." The three employees carefully placed the furniture on the courtyard floor, then straightened up and took a deep breath.
"Lao Luo, I'm starving." A tall employee from the decoration company stretched his body.
"After we finish moving this set, there are still two more sets of furniture. Once we're done, we'll all go eat together." Luo Hongguo smiled at the other two workers and casually wiped the sweat from his forehead with his clothes. It was July now, almost noon, the hottest time of the day.
Three people moving over a thousand catties of valuable furniture was indeed hard work.
"It's really hot." Zhang Haobai looked up at the sky, "Wang, later, let's go to the restaurant next door for a meal."
"Thank you, Young Master." The three bodyguards all smiled and replied.
Zhang Haobai glanced at the three workers moving the last set of furniture and wrinkled his nose. Naturally, he had a strong disdain for these laborers from the bottom of society. In his view, those who were willing to do laborious work lacked the spirit of striving for success and deserved to live such miserable lives.
"Be careful not to touch the door." Luo Hongguo and his two workers carefully moved the furniture forward. Their clothes were completely soaked with sweat, and sweat beads dripped from their foreheads and rolled into their necks.
"Rest outside." Luo Hongguo and his two workers carefully placed the furniture on the ground and took a moment to catch their breath and adjust their breathing.
"Let's go, one, two, three, lift!" Although Luo Hongguo and his two colleagues were tired, they were used to this kind of work after doing it for twenty or thirty years. They knew their limits and rarely made mistakes when moving things.
After a while, Luo Hongguo and his two colleagues went to move the last set of furniture.
