Siheyuan (courtyard house): My name is Shazhu!

Five days later, the group boarded a private plane back to Hong Kong, including Ho Yu-chu's master, Qi Tianfu, and his wife.

It was their first time flying, and the two of them were a little nervous, but the plane was very stable once it reached its normal flight altitude.

"Grandpa Qi, airplanes are a very safe mode of transportation, suitable for traveling to distant places. There is no safety issue. You'll get used to it in the future."

There's only a slight vibration during takeoff and landing of large airplanes; they are the safest mode of transportation in the world. He Minghui was in the lounge with Qi Tianfu.

"This is our first time flying, we don't know anything about it. We were scared earlier because we were worried something would happen, but we're fine now."

Minghui, how old are you this year? What do you do for work?

"I'm twenty-two years old this year. I've already graduated from university and work as a secretary for General Manager Zhao at my dad's company. My dad is often away from home, so I haven't learned much from being his secretary."

"At twenty-two, you're already a grown woman, about to get married. Will the salary be high if you go out to work?"

"Daddy's company has the highest salaries. Our General Manager Zhao's monthly salary is 500,000, and his annual salary is 6 million."

I'm currently a probationary level two secretary, earning 10,000 yuan a month. After I become a full-fledged secretary, my monthly salary will be 30,000 yuan.

"Your salaries are so high here, it seems like mine are much higher than back home. A secretary in a factory earning 600 yuan a year is considered quite good."

"The wages and cost of living are much higher where I live, much higher than back home. Even the lowest-paid worker in our company earns over a thousand yuan a month."

"How big is your dad's company? He only said it wasn't very big. Does it make a lot of money in Hong Kong?"

"Hahaha, Grandpa Qi, my dad is lying to you. His company is the largest in Hong Kong, with an annual net income of over 40 billion Hong Kong dollars!"

"That brat didn't tell me the truth either. How can he earn so much money in a year? What about your grandfather, He Daqing?"

"Grandpa owned eight restaurants. A few years ago, they could earn HK$60 million, but I haven't heard from them in recent years."

"I'm glad their lives got better after they got out. I used to worry about them a lot, but I was relieved when your mother came back and said they were all doing well."

I'll go back to Hong Kong this time and see how good it is, whether it's better than Beijing.

"Grandpa Qi, there are more people there, and it's generally more prosperous than Yanjing. You'll see for yourself when you go."

"This is your airport, why are there so many buildings below? What if something happens?"

"The place is small, so we can only do this for now. Daddy is building a new airport, and this airport can only be moved away in three years. We have to endure it for another three years."

"Zhu Zi is building an airport now, seems to be making a killing."

"Daddy is very amazing."

Kai Tak Airport is located in the city center area. After getting off the plane, I took a black car that came to pick me up and went back to my luxury home on Victoria Peak.

Along the way, the elderly couple, Qi Tianfu and his wife, saw the most bustling streets in the port city, with tall buildings standing on both sides everywhere.

"This place is much more prosperous than Beijing, but there are just too many people. And why are the roads so narrow? It's inconvenient for cars to pass."

"With a large population and old houses spaced close together, it will be difficult to demolish them once the city center becomes the main urban area. This is the only way to save space."

The road Daddy built in Causeway Bay is wider than here, and it's still suitable for both vehicles and pedestrians.

"This place looks very prosperous. I want to explore it thoroughly. I'm getting old and won't be able to come here many more times. I wonder when my hometown will be like this?"

"Dad said that as long as our hometown develops, it will soon become prosperous."

"Haha, I hope so."

.......

"Minghui's mansion is made of pillars, and many people live together." The master and mistress were stunned when they saw the mansion.

"Master, Mistress, let's go inside. These are all my family's houses, built according to the model of Song Dynasty royal gardens, but the area is still a bit small, and some parts cannot be replicated."

"The pillars are all yours, and they're even modeled after our Song Dynasty imperial gardens. How big is your garden?" Qi Tianfu still couldn't believe it.

"Mine is 90,000 square meters, the one above is my dad's, it's 63,000 square meters, and the garden we just passed was 33,000 square meters."

"A house of 90,000 square meters, built to royal garden standards—you're all such spendthrifts. Why didn't Rainwater go back this time?"

"She's seven months pregnant and it's inconvenient for her to go back. I had someone tell her to come over tonight if she's free; she's staying at her mother-in-law's."

"Rain has grown up too, from a little girl who never went to school to a mother in her thirties. Is her in-laws treating her well?"

"That's great. Her first son was the first boy in her husband's family, and now she's pregnant again, and she even gets menstruation during the rainy season."

"Rain is so sweet-talking and likable. The area is so big, I walked for ten minutes and didn't see a single house."

"It'll be quick, just turn around. Next time, you can drive right in. Wasn't this just to let you see the garden scenery?"

"The garden scenery is undeniably beautiful, but it's just too huge; my old bones can't handle it."

"I told you to exercise more often, but all you do is play chess with other old men."

"You're retired, what else would you do if you didn't play chess?"

"You get tired after walking just a few steps; I can't even be bothered to say anything to you."

After getting off work, He Yushui arrived at He Yuzhu's home and, with her large pregnant belly, welcomed Qi Tianfu and his wife to Gangcheng.

Jian Zhiyuan's Mandarin still left Qi Tianfu and Sun Mei bewildered. "We can't understand what you're saying at all. How are we supposed to respond?"

As dinner time approached, He Daqing, with an air of indifference, led his wife and children to He Yuzhu's house to meet his senior apprentice, Qi Tianfu.

"Haha, senior brother, you've finally arrived! This place is much better than my hometown. Some things here are legal, so I can do them without worry."

After dinner, I'll take you to Portland Street first. It's a great place with lots of bars and nightclubs. You should definitely go there to broaden your horizons when you come to Hong Kong.

"Dad, Uncle Qi is getting old, he shouldn't go to those kinds of places. There are many other places to visit here," He Yushui said, taking the lead in objecting.

"Dad, I'm not going to work tomorrow. I'll take Master and Mistress to see the city. Let's get some rest tonight; flying is tiring."

Qin Huairu also knew what Portland Street was. It was a place with shops and restaurants, a place men wouldn't go shopping in.

"Daddy, you should go less often too, and especially don't bring Master along, or the police might come to check the rooms," Zhou Songyu also objected.

"What place is the Great Qing?" Qi Tianfu knew there must be a reason why the three women objected.

"It's nothing. I only go to drink, nothing else. It's a regular bar or nightclub!" He Daqing said somewhat awkwardly.

"What kind of legitimate bar? It's better to avoid going there," He Yushui firmly expressed her opposition.

"If our daughter says she doesn't want to go, then we won't go. Tomorrow, Huairu, you go to work. I'll accompany my senior brother and sister-in-law to Central for a stroll. I'm getting old, so I need to rest for a few days."

"Dad, when are you retiring? Help me take care of the kids!"

"Sigh, I'm thinking about retiring, but I also want to do some work. After retiring, I'll be home alone with nothing to do, so I might as well stay at the restaurant and watch my apprentices work."

"That works too. She can do whatever she wants in the restaurant. Yu Chen is going to university soon; what kind of job does she plan to do after graduation?"

"Electrical instruments."

"Businessman, engineer, or a hybrid business?"

"I work in electrical instrumentation engineering; I have no interest in doing business!"

"From what you're saying, I have an electrical instrumentation lab in Malaysia, and I plan to open one back in my hometown as well."

"Thanks, bro. Wouldn't it be better for me to study at Niu Niu School than here?"

"Their university programs have been established for a long time, and their faculty is much better than ours. We will catch up with them."

"I'm going to Niu Niu's university!"
