There was another reason why Liu Zi couldn't come: she had been waiting for a week, and tomorrow was the day the article would be published.
In order to be fully prepared, she did not publish the incident in the newspaper immediately.
At this moment, "My Pride" has already become a huge hit in Hong Kong, and it is a time when her competitors are in a state of utter chaos. If she delivers another blow, she will definitely let them know what it means to feel real pain.
On May 1st, the Hong Kong newspapers Ta Kung Pao and Hua Chen Daily, the Beijing Evening News, and the magazines Reading and Digest all published an article by the well-known lyricist and composer Yun Zi in prominent positions.
The article details Yunzi's reasons for going to Hong Kong and the events she encountered. It includes a large section describing the robbery she suffered on the street, the chaotic management of the five-star Swan Lake Hotel, and implying that the hotel was colluding with gangsters and could not guarantee the safety of its customers' lives and property.
From the perspective of an ordinary person, Liu Zi elaborated on her helplessness and fear, and extended her concern to others for the personal safety of ordinary people in Hong Kong.
As one of Asia's largest economies, Hong Kong sees a constant stream of tourists every day. If such incidents are allowed to continue, who will guarantee Hong Kong's peace and stability?
This article, with its sharp language and thought-provoking viewpoints, spread rapidly with the help of certain individuals, and was even reprinted by several media outlets in mainland China.
Just one day later, Liu Zi sensed that something was wrong.
Mr. Zhang and his associates still have some influence in Hong Kong, but they can't reach the mainland. The internet isn't as developed yet, so this kind of news wouldn't spread so quickly.
After thinking for a moment, Liu Zi called her father, Liu Daqiang.
After hearing what Liu Zi had done, Liu Daqiang first scolded her, asking why she hadn't spoken up about such a big thing, and why she had openly challenged the other party like that. Wasn't she afraid of retaliation?
After learning the details of the incident, Liu Daqiang pondered, "It seems someone has intervened. Such a large-scale promotion must be a government intervention. The Hong Kong triads have always been a thorn in the side of the central leadership. If this can be used to eradicate them, you will have accomplished a great feat."
Liu Zi raised an eyebrow. Was she doing all the work for someone else?
"Don't do this again," Liu Daqiang advised her.
Liu Zi shrugged. As long as those guys learn a lesson, who cares who did it?
All she does is set off firecrackers to celebrate!
Wang Jianwen was promoted to store manager last month due to his outstanding performance. When Liu Zi went to see him, he was giving a speech to his employees and he seemed to be doing a pretty good job.
Liu Zi wasn't in a hurry; she leaned against the car and looked at the text messages on her phone.
I just received a message from Li Mu. He said the same thing as her dad, telling her not to interfere anymore. I replied with an "ok".
Although she didn't really want to talk to this man, Liu Zi was still very polite to others who showed her kindness and concern.
"Sister, what brings you here?" Wang Jianwen ran out with a smile.
"Great job! Congratulations on your promotion!" Liu Zi said with a smile.
"Oh, I'm just a junior manager, it's nothing!" Wang Jianwen rubbed his head sheepishly.
"This is also an affirmation of your work performance. Keep up the good work."
"I know."
"Sister, what brings you here this time?" Wang Jianwen wondered if this woman was here to sell a house.
"I've come to you to buy a house!"
"Buy again?" Wang Jianwen was taken aback.
"I'm giving you performance targets, and you're still complaining?" Liu Zi raised an eyebrow.
"How could I dare to complain? I'd love to! I'm just a little confused, sister, why did you buy so many houses?" Wang Jianwen was puzzled.
"If others don't understand, how could you, someone in this industry, not understand?" Wang Jianwen was a good person, and Liu Zi was willing to give him some pointers.
"In recent years, housing prices in Beijing have skyrocketed. Although my family doesn't have that many people, the houses we bought can be used for many things. We can use them ourselves, rent them out, open a shop... what can't we do with them?" Liu Zi also planned to buy several more houses before the purchase restrictions were implemented.
Wang Jianwen thought about it thoughtfully.
He had already figured it out; this woman was no ordinary person. Wang Jianwen himself wasn't particularly capable, but he had the insight to follow behind someone with ability and get a share of the profits.
"This time, the apartment doesn't need to be too big, but it needs to be ready for immediate move-in, preferably near the overpass community."
Liu Zi has already decided that she will stay in this house for the time being, and later she can consider whether to renovate it for her parents or use it as staff dormitory.
"Is there anything suitable?" Liu Zi was still quite anxious.
According to her mother, Lingzi will have to go to preschool on September 1st. If she doesn't want her child to go to school in Songzhuang, then she should move to the city as soon as possible so that her child can adapt better.
As for Qiqi, in her past life, she wanted to learn to paint, but Granny Zhao stopped her, saying that what's the use of a girl learning so much? She'll just marry out of the house in the future anyway, so why waste money now?
Back then, Liu Zi still had to ask Granny Zhao and Zhao Qian for money. If they didn't agree, it would be difficult for Qi Qi to learn to paint.
Finally, Liu Zi complained to her parents. Zhao Qiancai pretended not to know anything about it and gave Liu Zi several hundred yuan to send her child to school.
Because of this, Granny Zhao withheld Liu Zi's allowance for half a year.
Qiqi saw everything and took the initiative to tell her mother that she didn't like it anymore and didn't want to learn it.
Qiqi was born to her; how could Liu Zi not see the child's heart?
If one didn't like it, why would they place those paintbrushes so carefully?
If I didn't like them, why would I be so eager to see beautiful picture books in the library?
If it weren't for a passion, why would I choose a design major related to painting in college?
It was after that incident that Liu Zi finally decided to make money, but by the time she had money, Qi Qi no longer needed it.
This time, Liu Zi is determined to make it up to her daughter. As long as she still likes it, she will definitely send her to study.
"Sister, come to my office. I have floor plans for a few houses here. Take a look and see if any of them interest you!" The biggest advantage of Wang Jianwen's promotion is that he has more properties on hand.
Liu Zi nodded and followed him into the real estate agency.
"Our company currently has five properties for sale in the Tianqiao community. Three of them are in good condition, while two require further repairs."
Nowadays, people are unwilling to spend money to renovate old houses because it is too expensive and time-consuming. They would rather buy an apartment. This is the general mentality of people nowadays.
Liu Zi urgently needed a place to stay, so she decided to skip those two places for now and focus on examining the other three.
Two of these are large courtyards, and one is a detached house.
However, this house, which is a small two-courtyard house with its own entrance, is priced at around 700,000 yuan, which is too high for Liu Zi's budget.
The other two large courtyard houses each had three main rooms.
Liu Zi had a headache. Aunt Zhang and the children had never lived in a tenement before, and she didn't know if they could adapt.
