After months of hard work, they finally secured the land, and An Lao presented the design drawings, which had been modified to suit local conditions. Shanghai's Wan'an Plaza is a building centered around the element of fire, a concept more abstract than birds or waves, so An Lao also put considerable thought into it. As for Beijing, a capital city that everyone yearns for and reveres, An Lao primarily used elements from ancient architecture. Buildings like the Forbidden City and the Temple of Heaven possess unparalleled beauty and offer an inexhaustible source of inspiration and elements. When An presented the finalized design drawings, Wen Zhichao felt they were beautiful, and felt they perfectly matched Beijing's character.
Xia Ruzheng still felt that it was a bit overwhelming to start construction on both sides at the same time, but Wen Zhichao said that as we were about to enter the new century, not only would many things change, but it would also be easy to get confused at this juncture, and some people would take advantage of this special time to do things. It would not be so easy to apply for these procedures at that time, so it would be better to just do it all at once and there was no need to rush the construction period.
Xia Ruzheng thought about it and felt that it was true. Thinking back to his previous life, at the turn of the century, a lot of things did happen. At that time, Huang Zhong was also busy every day because there were orders from above and he had to act quickly.
"Then you must not be too tired, and you must not make Mr. An too tired. Mr. An is at such an age, it's time for him to retire and enjoy his retirement, but he is still busy outside like this. It's unbearable to see him."
"I know. I've advised him not to work so hard, but he loves me so much! I've already arranged for someone to take care of him in his old age. If anything happened to him, it would be a blow to me."
Xia Ruzheng nodded. Those men were really a worry.
Taking this opportunity, Xia Ruzheng and others took the children to Beijing for a trip. Beijing focuses on humanistic atmosphere and historical and cultural heritage, which requires some experience to understand. However, the children still felt very happy. Other students could only see things in books, but they saw them in person, so of course the feelings were completely different.
The most excited person was Xia Chunfu. He had experienced wars and witnessed almost all the history of New China, so he had a different emotion about Beijing today. The most exciting moment was when he stood in the square and took photos, which was a very trendy behavior.
Xia Ruzheng himself also likes the city of Beijing very much. He always feels that there is an indescribable charm in it, which should be caused by his unique experience.
In order to make living more convenient, Wen Zhichao bought a siheyuan in Beijing. At that time, siheyuan houses had not yet been hyped up to the sky-high prices of later generations, so it was not a surprising thing. However, Xia Ruzheng liked the quiet and peaceful feeling of the siheyuan house, which was quite similar to his old home in Guangzhou.
Mr. An himself liked it very much and lived in this courtyard house when he was in Beijing. When Grandma Liu heard about it, she also came here to live with Mr. An for a while. When she came back, she told Xia Ruzheng that it felt quite different. The feeling of Beijing and Guangzhou was quite different.
There is naturally a big gap between the two cities, one in the south and one in the north. Xia Ruzheng expressed his strong agreement.
Liu Guoqing handed over both businesses to his wife and devoted himself to Guangzhou. When it comes to cosmetics, he went from being a complete novice to being proficient in many professional terms. The difference is huge.
Xia Ruqian naturally complained that her husband had left everything to her. However, despite her complaints, she didn't let Liu Guoqing drop the task at hand. She even told Liu Binbin to study chemistry well so that he wouldn't be confused when he talked about this matter later. This is what they call a sharp tongue but a soft heart!
More than half a year later, Liu Guoqing integrated the funds he had on hand and finally opened his first cosmetics factory and established his first company. Not only did he become the boss, he also made his wife the boss of the company, which made Xia Ruqian really angry and amused.
Liu Guoqing was researching cosmetics for his wife, so he had very high requirements for product quality. The researchers he recruited were full of complaints. Fortunately, his boss paid him generously, otherwise they would have left long ago.
After the first batch of products came out, Xia Ruzheng opened a counter for Liu Guoqing in Wan'an Plaza, which was the most conspicuous and busiest place.
