Courtyard houses: Those who are capable are rewarded, and many children bring many blessings.

Lin Yongmei then recounted to Brigitte Lin what she had seen at Chen Xueru's house years ago.

"Hearing you say that, it seems like the north is even more open than Frog Island?"

"As our ancestors said, food and sex are basic human needs; they're all the same, it's just that you were younger back then!"

Brigitte Lin blinked her big eyes and asked again, "You weren't involved?"

"I would occasionally participate, but my status was low at the time, so I could only play a supporting role. Even so, it was an unforgettable experience for me."

"Auntie, you're such a great teacher. What you've said makes me want to try it out with Brother Da Niu right now and see if the feeling of walking on cotton under my feet is really true."

Brigitte Lin has been studying abroad for a full year, and her views have definitely been influenced by those in Europe. She is no longer shy or bashful about topics related to that subject.

"That's only one aspect. If Da Niu didn't have such great success in business, I wouldn't have actively advised you. At most, I wouldn't have objected. Once you become her woman, you'll gain far more than you can imagine. Look at my social status now."

Then he whispered in Brigitte Lin's ear, "Have you checked the gold-dollar exchange rate these past few days? It's risen to $135 an ounce. You knew about this from the beginning. Now that the transaction is complete, you can earn around $1.5 million."

Brigitte Lin didn't show much surprise: "Auntie, I've been paying close attention to the gold price against the US dollar for the past few years, especially during my year studying in London."

I've been to the London gold trading market several times. I still can't understand how "Big Bull" (a nickname for a prominent figure) calculated the depreciation of the US dollar against gold. His operation can only be described as miraculous. This is also a major reason why I can accept his approach.

Upon hearing this, Lin Yongmei quickly pressed, "You didn't tell anyone else about this, did you?"

"No, even if I told outsiders, they wouldn't believe me."

"Do you know who's keeping an eye on this huge fortune he's amassed?"

"Didn't he start an investment company?"

"The company is still managed by someone."

"Zhang Bingshan, that half-Chinese, half-German woman!" Everyone gritted their teeth in anger, but Lin Yongmei felt annoyed every time she thought about it.

"As long as the transaction is completed smoothly this year, the news will definitely not be kept from the top. Then there will be another top billionaire, and he will be a top billionaire whose wealth is measured in US dollars."

"Oh, you mean Zhang Bingshan is going to act as the front man?"

"Seven or eight floors, I guess. Da Niu has a special identity and it's not appropriate for him to show his face. Also, he's too afraid of trouble and too lazy to socialize."

"I still have a year before graduation, isn't that a bit too late?"

"It's not too late. Investment companies aren't one-off deals. Zhang Bingshan only knows about the entertainment industry—making movies and TV series."

If managed well, it can make money, but the risks are also high. As for which industry to invest in, you need to communicate extensively and deeply with the experts... Do you understand?

"clear!"

After saying that, Lin Yongmei saw Bao Chuanwang waving in their direction.

"You'll have to wait a bit; there's a cooperation signing ceremony coming up..."

Lin Qingxia watched as her aunt and the shipping magnate signed their papers under the guidance of the hostesses, and the two even shook hands and posed for a photo...

She was filled with mixed emotions: "My aunt went from being an underground worker sent to the mainland to becoming a prisoner, then Niu Dazhuang's personal property, and now she's the real estate queen of Hong Kong Island. Her first half of life has been quite eventful..."

Looking back on my aunt's life, the only correct, albeit passive, choice she made was choosing the right man. Fate is truly amazing…

Brigitte Lin glanced again at the evening gown that Lin Yongmei was wearing, which showed off her upper body and figure. She really had a great figure.

"If my aunt weren't such a beautiful woman, would Niu Dazhuang still have taken her in as a maid?"

She took out a small mirror and touched up her makeup. She muttered to herself, "I look just as good as my aunt; Brother Da Niu should like me too..."

With successful examples right in front of her, it's hard for Brigitte Lin not to overthink things.

Wealth and status are readily available.

After a round of enthusiastic applause, Lin Yongmei introduced Brigitte Lin to the several bigwigs present.

In the past two years, four new real estate tycoons have emerged, seemingly led by Lin Yongmei, challenging the authority of the four old families. They are now in direct conflict with the Li family, one of the four established families.

Lee Ka is known as a major landowner in Causeway Bay, and its subsidiary, Hysan Development, only rents out properties and does not sell them.

Nowadays, Lin Yongmei is involved in everything related to real estate... Not only that, she is also actively contacting members of parliament...

In the legal field, Lam Wing-mui is also slowly making her moves. To put it nicely, she's making moves, but in reality, she can't really get involved in the Hong Kong legal system right now; she can only invest in law students…

Now that Pao Yue has just become Asia's largest shipping magnate, HSBC has connected the two companies to jointly fund the construction of an industrial port...

Around 9 PM, the banquet ended, and the driver picked them up in the Mercedes-Benz that Niu Dazhuang had bought a few years ago and took them back to the villa on the hillside.

At this hour, the two children, being cared for by the nanny, were already asleep. Lou Xiao'e, having long been subdued by Niu Dazhuang, was fast asleep in the second bedroom.

Niu Dazhuang was getting more and more energetic as he did this. He took a shower, wrapped himself in a white towel, smoked a cigarette, drank an ice-cold beer, and glanced at the TV every now and then.

Niu Dazhuang heard the car noise outside, but ignored it and continued drinking his wine.

Lin Yongmei and Brigitte Lin had just gotten out of the car when their Filipino maid informed them that their boss had been there all afternoon, and that Miss Lou had also arrived.

The two walked quickly to the living room, and Lin Yongmei, holding up her skirt with both hands, ran over.

Like a young girl, she stood in front of Niu Dazhuang's noodles and twirled around twice: "Doesn't it look good? I just had it made to order. Xia, come over here too, let Da Niu take a look."

Lin Qingxia thought back to how she was just daydreaming, and now the person was right in front of her. Now that it was real, her heart was pounding.

First, he knelt down, then greeted him with an old-fashioned greeting: "Hey, Big Brother Niu!"

Niu Dazhuang was also surprised to find Brigitte Lin in Hong Kong. He couldn't stop smiling and got up to help her arm, saying, "Good...good! Shouldn't you be studying abroad?"

"They study abroad, and they have summer vacations too. But during summer vacation, they have to do internships, which is much more tiring than summer vacations in high school."

Niu Dazhuang glanced at their evening suits: "Aren't they too tight? Let's go change!"

The Filipino maid helped the two women carry their skirts up to the second floor.

As for what to wear, Brigitte Lin hesitated, choosing one outfit after another.

Lin Yongmei was much more efficient. After the Filipino maid helped her take off her evening gown, she took a shower and found a pink, lace-trimmed, deep V-neck dress that just covered her hips to sleep in.

Before going downstairs, she even took two small bells with her...
