Transmigrated to the 60s as an Educated Youth, My Small Courtyard Connects to Hong Kong

A proud transmigrator meets a scheming reborn male lead.

Chapter 49 The First Home

"From now on, please continue to call me Miss Song. I don't like being called Mrs. Lin!"

The way the two addressed her made Song Ziqing very uncomfortable, so she quickly stepped forward and expressed her thoughts.

Lin Chengyu nodded and said with a smile to the two of them, "Just call her Miss Song. You can use that title for life, and I hope she can be Miss Song for life! Just by hearing the title, you can tell she's a young and beautiful girl!"

“Okay, Miss Song, that’s a good way to address you. I will call you Miss Song from now on.”

This time, Manager Zhang reacted even faster.

He was a manager at HSBC and had investigated the Song family. He knew that Song Ziqing was a distant relative of the Song family, one of the four great families of the Republic of China. Given her background, he could really understand why she wanted to be a young lady for life.

The surname Song is no ordinary surname; even if she went to Taiwan, she would be welcomed by many people.

“Ms. Song, Manager Zhang and I are both native Hong Kongers. We are not familiar with the customs of mainlanders. We apologize for any offense caused.”

Manager Li and Manager Zhang have been friends for several years. From the different attitudes Manager Li and Manager Zhang have towards Song Ziqing and Lin Chengyu, Manager Li could tell that Song Ziqing's background must be better than Lin Chengyu's.

Moreover, even if she is a lady from the mainland, she should have a certain status in Hong Kong.

With that in mind, he made up his mind to invite Manager Zhang for drinks that night and find out more about Miss Song's background so that things would go more smoothly for him in his work and when dealing with her in the future.

Song Ziqing has a good temper and said without any sign of unease, "I don't mind. I was just expressing my thoughts. I feel uncomfortable being called Mrs. Lin. I'm just getting a marriage certificate with Lin Chengyu! We'll get along as usual from now on. I'm not going to be anyone's appendage!"

Lin Chengyu quickly coaxed, "Qingqing, from now on I'll be your subordinate, and you'll be the head of our household! Even if we get married, you'll always be Miss Song in my heart!"

"I don't want you to be my appendage. You are you. Even if we get married, I don't want you to change yourself for me! I hope that we can be equals in the future, trust each other, and discuss things together."

After saying this, Song Ziqing looked at Manager Zhang and asked, "Manager Zhang, shall we go look at houses now? We still need to buy a few houses in Hong Kong. Firstly, it will be convenient for us to live in, and secondly, the money in my bank account is just sitting there, so I might as well buy houses as an investment."

Manager Zhang first took the two to the Mid-Levels villa area. Song Ziqing and Lin Chengyu had decided that the two of them would settle down in the Mid-Levels villa area in the future. The environment and safety of this area are among the best in Hong Kong.

The two looked at several villas, all located on the lower slope of the mountain. Song Ziqing felt that the views from these villas weren't very good, so he didn't like some of them.

According to Manager Zhang, there are no vacant villas for sale on the mountaintop. Most of them are inhabited by British people, and Chinese people do not have the right to live there.

When Lin Chengyu noticed the car had passed the area the two had visited before, he pointed to the empty grove of trees and asked, "Manager Zhang, who owns this land? If we can't buy a suitable villa, can we just buy the land and build one ourselves?"

“This piece of land is quite large. I heard it’s in the hands of the government. If they’re interested in it, I can act as an intermediary and help you make some connections.”

Manager Zhang realized that these two men had extremely high standards; they wouldn't even consider ordinary villas, which left him feeling helpless.

Now that the two of them have their eyes on a piece of land, even if it doesn't belong to HSBC, he can make it belong to HSBC and then sell it to them later, which would be a good deal.

Manager Zhang was determined to latch onto Song Ziqing's coattails. He had overheard the two discussing that if they wanted to open a factory in Hong Kong, they would need to find a high school to attend, and both of them planned to take the college entrance exam.

He could help with all these things. He had worked at HSBC for ten years, from the age of twenty-two to thirty-two. It took him ten years to become a small manager at a branch of HSBC, earning a few thousand dollars a month, which was neither high nor low.

Now that he is married with children and has elderly parents to support, he feels that his income is not enough and wants to get a promotion and a raise. However, given his Chinese identity, this is very difficult at HSBC.

He saw an opportunity in the two people in front of him. These two were from the mainland and were not short of money but lacked manpower. With a local expert like him, he could help them find houses, land, factories, or schools.

Manager Zhang's real name is Zhang Yifeng. His parents also fled from the mainland. They came from a poor peasant family. His parents worked hard in factories to earn money to support him to be admitted to Hong Kong University. After graduation, he entered HSBC and became the lowest-level employee in the bank.

He had come a long way and seen many people from the mainland, but only this couple was truly exceptional in terms of their speech, knowledge, appearance, temperament, and background. Ordinary people simply couldn't compare.

Most importantly, Song Ziqing is not short of money. She has not only millions of dollars in savings at HSBC, but also dozens of kilograms of gold. With those savings alone, she can be a rich person in Hong Kong.

Furthermore, he noticed that Song Ziqing had been wearing different pieces of jewelry when she went out these past two days, each set worth hundreds of thousands or even millions of yuan. If her everyday jewelry was this valuable, she must have many more pieces of jewelry that were even more valuable.

Following such a young couple, he might one day become a sought-after partner even by HSBC.

With this in mind, Zhang Yifeng made up his mind to help the two of them get the hillside land they had their eye on. He secretly vowed to himself.

Next, Lin Chengyu and Song Ziqing looked at two more villas halfway up the mountain, but they couldn't stand it anymore. The villas weren't in good locations and didn't offer a wide view, so they didn't like either of them and went straight down the mountain.

Seeing that the two were not very interested, Zhang Yifeng quickly comforted them, "Miss Song, Mr. Lin, let's go take a look at the villas in Repulse Bay next. There is a particularly nice villa there that no one has lived in yet. You can go and have a good look at it."

This time, Song Ziqing was not disappointed. The villa was a snow-white Nordic modern building, which looked very simple and elegant. Even decades later, its appearance would not be outdated.
