Siheyuan: A Very Happy Era

Chapter 586 Are you saying we're not dreaming?
"Alright, honey, don't be so angry. You can't judge a book by its cover, it's normal to misjudge someone."

Li Guoqiang waved his hand and chuckled as he offered words of comfort.

"Chongjiu, did you already know?" Luo Huijuan ignored Li Guoqiang and turned to stare at Li Chongjiu, a hint of coldness on her face.

Although Li Guoqiang has taken back her command, don't forget that before this, she was the person in charge of this family and the Qiangsheng Group.

If Li Chongjiu really knew about it but didn't report it, then she would never allow Li Chongjiu to stay.

"Madam, you've misunderstood. I only found out this afternoon myself." Li Chongjiu lowered his head slightly to show respect.

"Alright, wife, Chongjiu isn't usually responsible for catching these bedbugs, didn't I tell you that before?" Li Guoqiang said, trying to smooth things over for Li Chongjiu.

"Hmph!" Luo Huijuan suddenly remembered that this was indeed the case, and could only snort angrily before sitting down again.

"Alright, Chongjiu, hurry up and take them away and get rid of them! Don't let them affect Madam's mood here." Li Guoqiang waved his hand.

"Yes!" Li Chongjiu answered loudly.

Then, he waved his hand behind him, and immediately six of his men rushed forward like tigers and wolves, dragging the three traitors away.

Thankfully, their mouths were stuffed with rags, otherwise there would definitely have been another barking.

Soon, the courtyard returned to calm, leaving only Li Guoqiang, Luo Huijuan, and others sitting in the pavilion.

"Here, I must make a self-criticism. I misjudged people, which caused losses to my family and the company." Luo Huijuan suddenly stood up again and said earnestly.

"Hey, Sister Juan, what are you doing? Qiangzi just said that you can't judge a book by its cover, and no one can guarantee that they won't misjudge someone, right?" Pan Qiaoyan immediately offered Luo Huijuan a way out.

“Yes! If you ask me, it’s because those people are too wicked,” Shang Xiuzhen chimed in to help.

"Actually, this is just a matter of misjudging someone! It's not a big deal. If Qiangzi hadn't suddenly abandoned you, you wouldn't be so tired, Sister Juan!" Shen Fengxia turned her anger on Li Guoqiang.

“Exactly! He’s a grown man, and he dumped such a huge mess on us. We’re already doing a great job by keeping things under control for him. And now he dares to turn around and blame us?” Xu Yuying glared at Li Guoqiang.

"Hey, I told you guys to stop. I didn't say anything, why are you ganging up on me like this?" Li Guoqiang protested.

"Alright, none of you need to speak up for me. I made a mistake, and that's that. There's no point in making excuses." Luo Huijuan waved her hand, looking completely at ease.

Upon hearing this, Shang Xiuzhen, Pan Qiaoyan, and the others all felt a surge of admiration from the bottom of their hearts.

After all, Law Wai-kuen was their first wife, and she was used to being imposing in front of them. Now that she was able to apologize to them so readily, it's no wonder she was the first wife!

If it were them, they would be lucky if they didn't cry, let alone have the courage to stand here and apologize in front of so many of their sisters!

In addition, they gradually realized that the reason Li Guoqiang took over Luo Huijuan's command was mainly to show them what he meant.

The reason why Luo Huijuan had to make a self-criticism was also to show it to her sisters.

In this way, if anyone makes a mistake in the future, there will be no excuses. Those who need to make a self-criticism will do so, and those who need to be punished will be punished. This is equivalent to establishing a rule for this family.

"Alright, is there anything else? If not, let's go inside and wash up first, and then we'll report back to you, the old man, later, is that alright?" Luo Huijuan's words were laced with barbs.

"Wife, I really do have something to tell you, my wife." Li Guoqiang said in a serious tone.

"Oh?" Luo Huijuan was slightly surprised.

Then, as if realizing something, she quickly turned her head to look towards the doorway.

Before long, she saw two familiar figures emerge from the house, looking somewhat dazed.

"Them? Why are they here?" Luo Huijuan looked at Li Guoqiang with some surprise.

"Go ask them! And tell them about the situation here." Li Guoqiang gestured with his chin toward Qin Jingru and Yu Li, then turned the tables and became the one who did nothing.

"What a disgrace!" Luo Huijuan rolled her eyes, then led Shang Xiuzhen, Pan Qiaoyan, and the others to greet them.

"Xiao Juan? Xiu Zhen? Qiao Yan? You guys? Why are you all dressed so lightly?" Qin Jingru stared wide-eyed at Luo Huijuan and the others' shorts and short-sleeved shirts.

"Xiaojuan, where exactly is this place? Weren't you in Jinshanbao? What's going on here?" Yu Li looked at Luo Huijuan and the others, her face full of surprise and uncertainty.

"Don't worry, I'll explain it to you properly!" Luo Huijuan walked forward slowly, took Qin Jingru and Yu Li's hands, and walked back into the house.

"You mean this is Hong Kong?"

"You're not trying to fool us, are you?"

Soon after, when Qin Jingru and Yu Li heard that they were in Hong Kong, thousands of kilometers away from Beijing, they were so shocked that they couldn't calm down.

Keep in mind, they were still in Beijing before they went to sleep, and they were in Hong Kong as soon as they woke up. Isn't that a bit too dreamlike?

"Ha! You don't believe me? If you don't believe me, we'll take you out for a stroll later!" Pan Qiaoyan couldn't help but laugh out loud when she saw Qin Jingru and Yu Li's reactions.

“That’s right! We’ll take you out for a walk later, and you’ll see that Sister Juan isn’t just kidding you.” Shang Xiuzhen nodded earnestly.

Seeing this, Qin Jingru and Yu Li calmed down a bit. They listened to Luo Huijuan, Shang Xiuzhen and others introduce the situation in Hong Kong while waiting for them to wash up and change clothes.

Before long, after they had learned more about the situation, Luo Huijuan, Shang Xiuzhen, and the others had all washed up and changed into sets of high-quality and beautiful clothes.

"You guys, your clothes are so beautiful!" Qin Jingru immediately expressed her envy.

"Yes! Your clothes are not only of good quality, but also very stylish." Yu Li's face showed a slight surprise.

Because she used to work in a textile factory, she was even more able to appreciate how wonderful the clothes worn by Luo Huijuan, Shang Xiuzhen, and others were.

"Heh! Don't worry, you'll have it too eventually." As the first wife, Luo Huijuan immediately spoke up to comfort them.

Then, led by her, Shang Xiuzhen, Pan Qiaoyan and others took Qin Jingru and Yu Li to the gate of the courtyard. As soon as the gate was opened, they saw several convertible sports cars parked at the gate.

These sports cars were all bought for them by Luo Huijuan, Pan Qiaoyan, and others over the past two weeks. Their main purpose is to allow them to relax and enjoy the sea breeze after a long day of hard training.

As for the streets in the district center, they visited them relatively infrequently.

One reason was to avoid attracting too much attention and causing unnecessary trouble, and another was because Li Guoqiang was not at home, which made them feel insecure.

However, now we don't have to worry about so much.

"Hey, what are you still sitting there for? Come on over and come for a drive with us!" Luo Huijuan put her hands on her hips and called out to Li Guoqiang, who was sitting in the pavilion.

"They're here!" Upon hearing this, Li Guoqiang didn't want to spoil the mood and immediately agreed. He then gave Li Chongjiu a few instructions over the walkie-talkie.

Soon, Li Chongjiu led two teams to the district center to set up surveillance. He also called Da Sha Ge and Dou Ji Qiang, telling them to wait at the district center.

"Yu Li, do you think we're dreaming?"

Not long after, Qin Jingru sat in a convertible sports car, looking at the sea in the distance and all sorts of novel sights, feeling as if she were in a dream.

Yu Li didn't answer Qin Jingru's question, because she felt like she was dreaming.

She was supposed to be going to the countryside to work, so how did she suddenly end up in Hong Kong, riding in a convertible and becoming a lady of leisure?
"Look, this entire hotel belongs to our family!"

Not long after Qin Jingru and Yu Li gradually accepted reality and began to get excited, the convertible sports car slowly stopped in front of a more than ten-story seaside resort hotel.

Then, before they could ask any questions, Luo Huijuan's voice came from their ears.

"No, this whole house belongs to our family?" Qin Jingru still didn't quite understand what the hotel meant.

"This...this..." Yu Li was so excited that she couldn't speak.

You know, when she was with Yan Jiecheng, she used to worry a lot about how small their house was.

Who would have thought that Li Guoqiang would now present her with such a tall building, more than ten stories high.

"Let's go! We'll take you inside and show you around." Luo Huijuan smiled slightly, then with graceful and elegant steps, she led Qin Jingru and Yu Li, one in each arm, into the magnificent hotel.

Meanwhile, Shang Xiuzhen, Pan Qiaoyan, and others followed behind, chattering away and giving Qin Huairu and Yu Li various introductions, which left them somewhat confused.

As for Li Guoqiang, he seemed to be a leisurely person, following behind without a care in the world, until Big Fool and Fighting Chicken Qiang, along with a group of middle and senior executives of the group dressed in suits and ties, walked up to him quickly and bowed deeply.

"boss!"

With a resounding greeting echoing through the hotel lobby, Li Guoqiang instantly became the center of attention.

"Look, that's the boss of our Qiangsheng Group, he's so handsome!"

"The boss? Could it be that he's the legendary philanthropist boss of Qiangsheng Group?"

"Are you blind?! Didn't you see that even the big idiot brother from Qiangsheng Group was bowing to him?"

"."

Soon, the guests in the hotel lobby surrounded Li Guoqiang.

However, before they could get close, Big Fool sent people to stop them, and then personally went up to press the elevator button for Li Guoqiang, inviting him to the presidential suite on the top floor.

Li Guoqiang stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window of the presidential suite, looking at the South China Sea so close at hand, a slightly contented expression on his face.

"Boss, this presidential suite hasn't been used to entertain guests since we acquired it," Big Fool reported with a somewhat ingratiating smile.

"Okay! Now tell me about the group's situation!" Li Guoqiang replied casually, his gaze fixed on the view outside the window.

"Yes!" Big Fool's expression turned serious, and he hurriedly waved to Fighting Cock.

Upon seeing this, Doujiqiang immediately stepped forward with a large stack of documents and quickly reported to Li Guoqiang.

Soon, he gave Li Guoqiang a report on the group's business development in all aspects.

Compared to more than half a month ago, the biggest change is that Qiangsheng Fisheries Fishing Company has successfully moved into Victoria Harbour, surrounding the entire Xiangjiang Island.

The market share of fishing has also increased to more than 50% of the entire Hong Kong market. It owns more than 10,000 fishing boats and can catch more than 1000 tons of fish on average every day.

Based on a price of 3 yuan per kilogram, that's 300 million yuan, meaning Li Guoqiang can earn an extra 3000 million yuan worth of gold beans every day.

In just over half a month, he has already earned nearly 4 million yuan.

By comparing the two, he gained a better understanding of the development of Qiangsheng Fisheries Fishing Company.

As for the other industries of Qiangsheng Group, thanks to its advantages in capital and manpower, as well as the good reputation of Qiangsheng Group, they are also progressing very smoothly.

Overall, Qiangsheng Group can now earn tens of millions of yuan in profit per month, and has initially achieved self-sufficiency.

However, in order to seize the development advantage as soon as possible, simply doing this is not enough.

Soon, Li Guoqiang held a development plan conference with Da Sha, Dou Jiqiang and other senior executives of the group, preparing to expand the scale of Qiangsheng Group's industry to the level of monthly revenue of 10 billion yuan within 10 years.

In addition, the most important thing is to open up the Qiangsheng Fisheries Fishing Company in island nations, the United States, and other places, and gradually seize the world's fishing market, thereby providing huge amounts of funds for the development of the Qiangsheng Group.

Upon hearing this grand development plan, Big Fool Brother, Fighting Chicken Qiang, and the others immediately became excited and hurriedly arranged for people to draft the detailed development plan.

Meanwhile, in order to make it easier to exchange gold beans, Li Guoqiang also had Da Sha Ge, Dou Ji Qiang and others spend money to acquire several local small banks and then merge them into Qiangsheng Development Bank.

When the people of the South District learned that Qiangsheng Company had opened a bank, they all transferred their savings to Qiangsheng Development Bank, which immediately brought the bank's reserves to the billion-dollar level, making it the largest bank in the South District.

Just as the Qiangsheng Group was developing at full speed under Li Guoqiang's leadership, the old-established wealthy families in downtown Hong Kong were getting restless.
