Rebirth of the Nine-Three Era

The work will last for several days. After several wood carvers carve some drawing boards, they will come over to see if there is anything that needs to be repaired in the further processing.

Dong Huayi arranged a dormitory for him to live in, and he could eat in the canteen for free.

Yin Yuan contacted his cousin Ye Changwen, asked for the address of the decoration company, and drove to find him.

My cousin's decoration company is located in a pedestrian street, next to clothing stores, curtain shops, billiards rooms, barber shops, massage and leisure centers and the like.

As soon as I arrived at the door of the store, I heard a noise coming from inside.

"I have dealt with the leakage on the balcony three times and it is still the same. There are also a few cracks in the walls that have not been inspected. I have already paid you 80% of the decoration fee. If you don't handle the remaining 20%, don't expect me to pay." .”

A female voice said impatiently: "Boss, in all conscience, we have asked people to deal with the leakage on the balcony several times, and there are also several cracks in the ceiling of the living room. This phenomenon will happen no matter which decoration company does it. This We will arrange for people to deal with a few issues, but you have to pay us the balance today."

Landlord: "Please read carefully what is written in the contract. The quality cannot be guaranteed, and you still want me to pay?"

Yin Yuan walked into the decoration company and saw his cousin playing games on the computer with his head down, and his cousin Sun Cuihua, with her hands on her hips, arguing with a landlord.

"What's going on? Why are we still quarreling?"

When Ye Changwen saw his cousin coming, he asked him to sit on the stool next to him and whispered to him: "There are often customers like this. They just seize on a small problem and hold on to it, trying to get rid of the rest of the decoration." Pay. You don’t have to say anything. In terms of your ability to quarrel, your cousin-in-law says you are ranked second, but no one dares to say you are ranked first."

Yin Yuan listened to their argument and knew the reason for the matter.

He said to the homeowner: "The two problems you mentioned should be solved for you. Once the problems are solved, you can pay off the final payment for the renovation."

The landlord said angrily: "If the problem is taken care of, I will definitely not be owed a penny. If something like this happens before the house is moved in, it will make anyone angry. It's like this to come here to coordinate." Attitude, I really regret giving the house to you to decorate."

Yin Yuan comforted him and said: "I am the boss's cousin. I also run a decoration company in Jiangming. I came here to work in the furniture factory for a few days. I will help you deal with these two problems. Come back when you are satisfied with the results. Just pay the balance."

The homeowner nodded in agreement, turned and left.

My cousin-in-law was still muttering: "Every decoration company will have this kind of small problem. It will be annoying to death if you have to deal with even a small problem."

Only then did Yin Yuan understand why his cousin opened a decoration company in Guancheng. He made a lot of money in the first few years, but then the business declined year by year.

The service attitude is bad, the quality is not up to standard, and the workers are not paid wages. It is a miracle that they can still maintain it.

"Is the owner's house far away from here?"

"It's not far away at the downhill intersection ahead."

"Shall I go with you to have a look?"

The cousin stood up reluctantly.

When I walked out of the decoration company, I saw a small car at the door.

"Whose car parked in front of my store and piled up my door. It annoyed me and destroyed it."

Yin Yuan quickly said: "The car is mine, I just bought it not long ago."

He was thinking: My cousin has not changed his bad habits at all. He does things without thinking and has such a bad temper. He will always suffer a loss in the future.

Ye Changwen said in surprise: "Ah, Xiao Yuan, have you made a fortune? Can you afford such an expensive car?"

My cousin's sister-in-law also came out, and she was extremely envious when she heard that the car at the door belonged to her cousin.

"Your cousin has been working in a decoration company for ten or eight years. He can't even afford a house or a car. It's really useless. It's so annoying that people are so competitive. You bought such a luxurious car in less than half a year. .How much did you pay for this car?”

Yin Yuan didn't want to tell her the truth, which would make her feel even more unbalanced.

"Not a lot. In fact, you have been running a decoration company here for many years. Your business should be getting better and better, but now it is getting worse and worse. It can be seen that the problem lies with you, and you should make appropriate changes in some aspects."

He didn't want to say too harsh words to her, and some words were better said to his cousin.

"Let's go and see the scene."

He and his cousin came to the renovated suite.

The water leaking on the balcony was reported by the neighbor downstairs, who happened to be at home.

The neighbor took them to the balcony, pointed to a sewage pipe and said, "Water has been dripping from that pipe. I wonder if you made it waterproof during the renovation?"

After taking a look, Yin Yuan discovered the crux.

When he went upstairs and opened the door, he asked his cousin: "During the water and electricity work, were the bathroom, balcony, and kitchen floor waterproofed?"

"It's done. We followed the formal decoration procedures and every process was done in place."

"After waterproofing, did the workers release water to test it?"

"After waterproofing, do you still need to test the water? This is not the case."

"If you don't test it with water, how do you know how effective it is at waterproofing? In a situation like this, if you had done a water test, the problem would have been discovered at that time. If you remedy it in time, there will be no problem."

He continued to ask: "When the workers were doing the waterproofing, did they specifically reinforce the areas around the drainage pipes so that water would not leak out?"

"We have never used this kind of material to prevent water from leaking."

Listening to what he said, Yin Yuan estimated that the materials they used for waterproofing were also some unknown brands, which would not have the waterproofing effect.

Only then did Ye Changwen realize that he had been doing decoration for many years, but his professional level was not as good as that of his cousin who had only been doing decoration for half a year.

"Then how to deal with this problem?"

Yin Yuan said to his cousin: "Tomorrow around twelve o'clock, you ask a plumber to come over and bring a chisel to cut the tiles, dig out the tiles around the pipe, and clean the cement mortar below. I will bring the materials then. Teach him how to deal with it.”

I looked at the two cracks in the ceiling again.

"When the wall scraper dealt with these cracks, he didn't use anti-cracking materials to fill those gaps, right?"

He gently pulled out the crack a little bit, but didn't see any patching material inside, so he asked.

Ye Changwen: "In the past, we used gypsum powder to fill the gaps, then put a cloth tape on it, and then scraped the gypsum powder on the outside. This is the first time I have heard of the anti-cracking material you mentioned."

Yin Yuan said: "Well, tomorrow I will go to the building materials market and buy it for you to see. Nowadays, decoration materials and products are often introduced with new ones. Small problems that could not be solved during the decoration process in the past can be perfectly solved with these new materials."

My cousin and the others rented on the second floor of a decoration company. When the first building was built, the rent was only 1000 yuan a month. After five years of renting, the landlord increased the rent by 300 yuan. Overall, the rent was not expensive.
