Chapter 224: The Super-rich and the Parrot

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

As a young and famous architect and designer, Guo Dongyue had seen it all, from local super-rich people’s private houses to Binhai City’s government buildings. He was a member of the design group, either representing his design firm or designing himself.

The super-rich loved pets. Guys are especially fond of large-sized pets such as the Tibetan mastiff, which was extremely popular a few years back. Now, various breeds of huge-sized cats and dogs were the new trend. The rarer, the better. When he designed their houses, many of the super-rich would require him to design a special space for their pets. If the pet was a large sized breed, they sometimes would give them space larger than a normal person’s apartment.

A few years ago, Guo Dongyue saw a huge parrot in a super-rich female’s house. It had been such a long time, he could not recall the name of the bird. Now that Zhang Zian reminded him, he realized that it was an African grey parrot.

At the time, the super-rich female requested a special greenhouse for her bird. 90% of the material needed to be tempered glass so that the grey parrot thought that it was outdoors.

Guo Dongyue didn’t say anything, but he didn’t like the idea. No matter how pretty the greenhouse was, it was not comparable to the real outdoors. However, the super-rich female was his customer and she was willing to spend whatever. He didn’t really care whether or not the greenhouse was practical. He spent a lot of time designing a 100% tempered glass greenhouse, which looked like an astronomic observatory from the outside. The bottom of the greenhouse was a round base and the top was a glass dome. The super-rich female was extremely satisfied with the design.

He knew from that project that the super-rich female loved that grey parrot and was willing to spend tons of money on it because the parrot could speak many sentences. He wasn’t sure how many, but he guessed probably over 100.

After the greenhouse was built, the super-rich female invited her wealthy friends over to a party so she could show off her bird and the expensive greenhouse. As the famous designer who designed and built the greenhouse, Guo Dongyue also received an invitation.

It was a beautiful early evening. The sun was about to set and the colorful clouds were floating on top of the dark blue sky like many bright roses. The glass greenhouse looked so pure under the sunset as if it was a huge diamond shining from the ground.

Her wealthy friends were totally amazed by what they saw. They were screaming about how pretty the greenhouse was and kept congratulating the super-rich female on her accomplishment. Guo Dongyue was proud that his design was so well-liked. When the super-rich female introduced him to her friends, he soon became the focus of the party.

When the group of women were done, the super-rich female took them on a tour inside the greenhouse. In the center, there was a set of elegant, British-style cane chairs and a table. A delicate British-style tea set was sitting on top of the cane table. Surrounding the cane furniture, there were tons of colorful flowers under the setting sunlight. The aroma of the fresh flowers was everywhere. It was as perfect as it could be.

When they stepped in the greenhouse, someone was ready to host. “Hello! Welcome to my house!”

The wealthy friends were shocked and didn’t know who was speaking. Guo Dongyue was surprised at first, but then realized that it had to be the parrot that the super-rich female loved. He had never seen the parrot during the whole process of building the greenhouse, although he specially built several standing bars for the parrot. The standing bars were gold plated.

He started searching and soon found the parrot standing on one of the bars. The bird looked like the one Zhang Zian owned, but was a bit smaller. The biggest difference between the two birds were their eyes. The eyes of the super-rich female’s bird were smart and alert. It looked like it was ready for any challenge from the wilderness.

However, the eyes of Zhang Zian’s bird were suspicious. They were always focused on him and made him feel like the parrot was judging him. The parrot’s eyes followed him around everywhere.

Weird!

That was how Guo Dongyue felt.

Its eyes… Guo Dongyue felt that he might be wrong but he always felt like the parrot was looking at him and asking, “Hey, are you gay?” That was scary!

The super-rich female’s parrot successfully drew everyone’s attention as soon as they walked in. Guo Dongyue’s beautiful design faded into the background.

“Hey, look at your hair, so pretty!”

“Pretty girl, look here! Look here!”

“Tomorrow is going to rain. Don’t forget your umbrella!”

“You still have to be careful when driving, even if you are a good driver.”

“Let’s go to bed. Let’s go to bed!”

These were the sentences that the super-rich female’s parrot would say. Some of the sentences were repetitive, but it wasn’t a big deal. In the end, the group was trying to have it repeat the same sentence. The wealthy friends kept playing with it and couldn’t help but praise how smart the parrot was.

Some friends came over to ask the super-rich female where she got the parrot and how much it cost. They showed a lot of interest in the bird. She told her friends that they could get the parrot for roughly 10 thousand Yuan, but hers was specifically trained to talk. It was worth at least two to three hundred thousand Yuan.

Two to three hundred thousand Yuan was nothing to these extremely wealthy people. However, a talking parrot was not easy to find because not only did it cost money, but it also took patience and time to train.

Guo Dongyue didn’t join the crowd. He poured himself a cup of tea, standing away from the crowd and observed the parrot from his particular perspective. He was a bit disappointed to find out that although the wealthy ladies were having fun, the parrot was only a pet that was no different than a kitten or a puppy.

This parrot in Zhang Zian’s store was special.

At first, when Zhang Zian said that he was making a joke, he pointed at the parrot and then changed his mind immediately. If Zhang Zian wasn’t joking, then the parrot was really intelligent!
