Yin Xiao was reborn in Hong Kong in the 1980s. To find a job, she participated in the Miss Hong Kong pageant, became the champion, and thus entered the entertainment industry. She attended training...
Chapter 456 You have all made your decision, what about me?
The four of them arrived at the sales office and stood outside the sand table, examining the layout of the development. Whether it was the green space or the amenities, everything was top-notch. The unique architectural form was a beautiful modern style, and the layouts provided ample lighting and ventilation in every room, with efficient space utilization and separate zones for active and quiet areas.
Dong Peiyu fell in love with it at first sight. Although there were construction sites everywhere here, when Baogang's Tiancui City was first built, the surrounding area was also an undeveloped wasteland. Now, in just a few years, high-rise buildings have sprung up everywhere nearby.
As a minority shareholder in Shengshi Entertainment, Dong Peiyu knew the company would be permanently based in mainland China, so owning a house here would be very convenient. With such a great location and such a beautiful neighborhood, it was definitely worth buying.
When Dong Peiyu heard the price, she was stunned. "So cheap? How is this different from finding it for free? Buy it! Must buy!"
Dong Peiyu directly picked the largest apartment and turned to ask Hu Xiaoxiao which building to choose. In order to facilitate work, she naturally wanted to live in the same building with Hu Xiaoxiao.
At this time, Hu Xiaoxiao was on the phone. It was Huang Yuliang who called. He discussed several new plans with her, listened to Hu Xiaoxiao's opinions, and told her the good news: Hu Xiaoxiao was invited to participate in the Spring Festival Gala.
This is a program aimed at the whole country and overseas, which is very helpful in increasing her popularity. Participating in the gala will also bring her influence in the mainland to a new level.
Of course, Hu Xiaoxiao wouldn't let go of such a good opportunity. Normally, she would fight for it even if there wasn't one, so why would she turn it down now that it was delivered to her door? She asked Huang Yuliang over there to help her with matters like signing agreements and negotiating performances.
After finishing his business, Huang Yuliang heard Hu Xiaoxiao's voice and casually asked her where she was. Hu Xiaoxiao said, "In a new property in Shenzhen. I'm planning to buy a house to live in."
"I heard Sister Dong's voice, and I think Mingxu's voice as well? Are you all here?" Huang Yuliang asked.
"Yes, and Xie Zhiheng too. The four of us plan to buy a house in this community and become neighbors."
"You've all decided? What about me?"
For some reason, Hu Xiaoxiao heard a hint of resentment in Huang Yuliang's indifferent voice. She asked, "Do you want to buy one too? Then when you come to work, you'll have a place to stay. We'll all be in the same neighborhood, so we can look after each other."
"As you say. I'll help you with the work here, and you can help me with the house over there. For the convenience of work, it's best to be next door to you. It's not convenient to discuss company matters over the phone, and it takes time to travel if we're far away. It's better to be close by so that we can have a meeting to discuss work at any time..." On the other end of the phone, Huang Yuliang's voice was light, as if he didn't care, but he said a lot and spoke in great detail.
Hu Xiaoxiao thought what he said made sense. The company had many complicated matters, and it was inconvenient to communicate through phone and fax. If the two of them lived next door, or upstairs or downstairs, they could discuss things face to face, which was very efficient.
Most of the buildings in the complex are two-elevator, four-unit residences, with only two prime buildings featuring two-elevator, two-unit, large flats. The Xie family had just introduced the large flat design concept to mainland China, and, unsure of the affordability of mainland Chinese consumers, had only built two. If sales were good, they would expand their development of large flats in the future.
Hu Xiaoxiao accepted the task commissioned by Huang Yuliang and simply chose one floor, which was just enough for two people, one household each.
Mingxu was asking the saleswoman about the property when he saw Hu Xiaoxiao choose an entire floor. He was a little surprised and asked, "Are you buying two units at once?"
"No, the set on the east side is mine, and the set on the west side is for Mr. Huang." Hu Xiaoxiao said.
After hearing this, Mingxu felt as if something had been stolen. "You're on the same floor with him? What about me? Aren't we neighbors?"
Aren't they together? Why did that Huang guy get in on the act?
Mingxu suddenly felt extremely aggrieved.
Before Hu Xiaoxiao could say anything, Xie Zhiheng, who was talking to the general manager of the real estate project, heard it. He felt something was wrong and walked in.
Last time, Mingxu got the first chance to take Tiancui City, and now Huang Yuliang got the first chance too?
Xie Zhiheng's eyes turned, and he said to Hu Xiaoxiao, "I've specially reserved a unit for you with the best lighting and view. It's on the east side of my floor. The east side is the best, and I reserved it for you. I've made an agreement with Sister Xi that she will move to the mainland to cook for us. When you go to work in the mainland, you don't have to do anything. You'll have meals as soon as you get home. Sister Xi can also take care of the house, so you don't need to hire a nanny. It's inconvenient to hire someone else. After all, you're a big star and you have to pay attention to your privacy..."
All the benefits, one after another, touched Hu Xiaoxiao's heart.
A place you haven't lived in for a long time inevitably has some odors, and even the bedding and room have a strange smell. If someone were to keep an eye on it, help ventilate it from time to time, wash the bedding regularly, and keep it clean, the house would be clean and fresh year-round. Plus, with food to eat as soon as she got home, and Sister Xi's cooking skills being a favorite of Hu Xiaoxiao, she would definitely feel very comfortable in Shenzhen.
"Let's do it." Hu Xiaoxiao made the decision immediately.
Huang Yuliang, then buy him a house upstairs or downstairs.
Mingxu was hurt and said, "I can cook, and I can also make sure you have food to eat when you get home. Isn't that what we used to do?"
Xie Zhiheng asked him, "Can you stay in Shenzhen and cook every day? Don't you have to go back to Baogang to film?"
Mingxu was speechless. Dong Peiyu beside him didn't care. She asked Xie Zhiheng, "You're on the first floor? I'll choose the one below you. Yuliang's house is on the same floor as mine."
Xie Zhiheng pointed to the top-tier building on the left and said, "You'd better pick this one quickly, because there are not many units left. If you don't pick it now, you'll have to look for other buildings with two elevators and four units."
When Mingxu heard this, he didn't care about his injury anymore and quickly chose a house on the floor above Hu Xiaoxiao. Then he asked Hu Xiaoxiao, "Are you really going to come to Shenzhen to work often in the future?"
Hu Xiaoxiao nodded. "Baogang's market is too small. I've already reached the peak in Baogang. If I don't open up new markets, with new generations emerging, I'll only go downhill."
Mingxu thought for a moment and said to Hu Xiaoxiao, "My development in Baogang has reached a bottleneck. It just so happens that Jincan Company and Shengshi Company have a cooperative relationship. Let's strengthen our cooperation and explore the mainland market together."
Dong Peiyu, who was standing by, heard this and asked in surprise, "Doesn't your company want you to develop in Hollywood?"
"The company does have this idea, but I'm not optimistic," Mingxu said. "There are plenty of Kung Fu stars in Hong Kong, and even more who have ventured into Hollywood. But from what I've seen, none of them have made it big. They either have us playing supporting roles or villains. Kung Fu stars, in particular, love having us play villains for their leading men, to make them look more powerful and capable."
