Zhang Hongmei's eyes lit up when she heard Carlos's words, but then dimmed again. "What's the use of me selling the house? I'll have no chance of coming here in the future."

Carlos couldn't bear to see Zhang Hongmei's dejected expression. "You could buy it as an investment," he said.

Zhang Hongmei looked up and smiled, "That's true, then I'll ask someone to keep an eye out for it. Even if I don't have the chance to stay here, I estimate this place will have a lot of potential for appreciation."

"If you're going to buy one, buy a bigger one. Once you get it, your family will help take care of it."

"Okay, I like castle architecture."

"No problem, leave it to me. It would be great if the one next door was for sale; that would make it easier to keep an eye on things."

The house next door is similar to ours, but it looks older, though it has a very rustic and grand feel.

Carlos settled his family in and then left again. He needed to visit several branch offices here; this trip couldn't just be for fun. He couldn't procrastinate on his work so he could have more time to spend with his family.

The temporary servants have arrived; these are people temporarily seconded from the company. Therefore, we treat them with great respect.

After putting away their luggage, Zhang Hongmei took Annie's hand, and the two began to tour each room.

Honestly, this house won't break down even a hundred years from now. It just needs regular maintenance.

Zhang Hongmei considered the possibility of selling the house, but ultimately decided that if a suitable one came along, she would definitely buy it. She figured she could just leave it there; she could always hire someone to look after it.

Having made her decision, Zhang Hongmei began to observe the area even more carefully.

At lunchtime, Hongmei talked to the two elderly people about wanting to buy a house.

“Sure, investing in real estate is the best decision.” Beth knew that Zhang Hongmei always wanted cash for her dividends, so she thought the girl should spend the money and invest in real estate instead.

“Carlos has already asked around. Actually, I think we should open a real estate agency to buy and sell houses and rent them out. Land is also an option, as well as recruit temporary workers. I think this industry has the potential to develop. Because so many people are completely clueless, if there were such a company, there would definitely be people willing to pay to get information.”

"Haha, my young lady is so smart. You talk to Carlos about this. I think we definitely need to set up a company like this."

"Well, when he gets back, I'll tell him the details, and you can listen too. Let's see where the loopholes are. This idea just came to me on a whim."

"Okay. Let's discuss it together tonight, the three of us. Hongmei, I think you're a successful businesswoman."

"Godfather, don't you feel embarrassed by praising me like this?"

"Hehe, I don't feel the way you described. I just feel proud and honored."

"Please don't flatter me, I'm easily embarrassed."

Beth chuckled and sighed, "I'm really not just praising you, I genuinely believe it."

Huang Meihua watched the two of them goofing around from the sidelines. She was quite happy, though, and felt she had excellent taste.

Zeng Zhongkang was already immune to it, and as for Zhang Hongmei, she was someone you could only look up to.

After lunch, Zhang Hongmei still held Annie's hand, and the two strolled around the garden for a while before going back inside for a nap.

Upon waking in the afternoon, the two continued their treasure hunt. Zhang Hongmei suddenly had an idea: they could create a treasure hunt game. That would probably be popular too.

However, due to the monitor's resolution, the figures might not be very realistic. But this doesn't affect its popularity.

Thinking of this, Zhang Hongmei found the weight gain chart and told him her idea. "I'll leave this to you."

"Okay, I'll try it when I get back, but you'd better come up with a storyline for me."

"Okay, I'll take care of this. Zeng Zhongkang, if your bosses found out I made you neglect your duties, don't they think they'd kill me?"

Zeng Zhongkang glanced at Zhang Hongmei and said, "How can you say you're neglecting your duties? This is also research."

"Hehe, yes, it's also research."

The two girls transformed the castle inside and out, and Annie was a little disappointed. "Mom, why is there nothing here?"

"Hehe, Annie, what do you want?"

"Aren't we on a treasure hunt?"

"Yes, does treasure hunting always guarantee the acquisition of treasure?"

"Yes, I understand.

Zhang Hongmei stroked Annie's head, feeling very gratified.

"Let's go take a shower. Dinner should be ready soon."

Annie reluctantly followed Zhang Hongmei. "Mom, I don't like the food they make."

"So what would you like to eat?"

"I want to eat fried chicken."

"Let's eat out tomorrow. Actually, eating fried chicken at night is the easiest way to gain weight. You don't want to become a little fat person, do you?"

"how so?"

"Of course! Think about it, fried chicken is just chicken meat and oil. Each of these ingredients is fattening, so how can you not gain weight when you combine them together?"

"Then I won't eat dinner anymore."

"Yeah, it's tough to maintain a good figure."

"My mother has a very good figure; all the aunties who sell clothes say so."

"Well, you see, I don't eat anything after dinner, and my dinners are mostly light. So Annie, if you want to stay beautiful, you have to learn to control yourself."

The two entered the living room, where Huang Meihua was watching TV. Because they could understand each other's language, watching the news was not difficult for her at all.

"Have you two found any treasure?"

Annie shrugged. "No, there's nothing."

"Heh, is my Annie disappointed?"

"A little, but Mom said, does going treasure hunt guarantee finding treasure? I think that makes sense, so I'm not too disappointed."

Huang Meihua was even more satisfied with Zhang Hongmei. She could subtly guide the child at any time, and the more she saw her, the more pleased she became. She had complete peace of mind with Annie with her.

"Alright, go wash up, it'll be dinner time soon."

"But Dad hasn't come back yet?"

"He called and should be here soon. We didn't help him sell clothes this afternoon, so you guys can go shopping together later."

"Great! Mom, let's go take a bath. I want to wear that yellow t-shirt."

After dinner, the four of them went out shopping again, this time by car, heading straight for Regent Avenue.

The two girls were quite interested in shopping, but they spent a long time choosing Carlos's clothes. Some of the styles were handmade and they didn't really like them. They shopped for two hours before finally choosing one that they were satisfied with.

"Don't you all need formal attire?"

"We've already bought them all."

"Hehe, starting the day after tomorrow, I'll have some free time too."

"But you're still missing a pair of shoes."
