Chapter 455 Everything is getting better
The signing ceremony had already been prepared, and according to the procedure, both parties completed the signing quickly, but the time for reporters to ask questions and interviews was relatively long.
The news that one of Hong Kong's most powerful film and television companies was collaborating with mainland China to develop a new film and television industry was causing quite a stir in mainland China, especially with Hu Xiaoxiao himself, whose every move was a focus of attention. Reporters were almost exclusively targeting Hu Xiaoxiao, with numerous and probing questions. Fortunately, Hu Xiaoxiao had years of experience dealing with reporters and was already adept at handling them. Moreover, mainland reporters were far more polite than the paparazzi in Hong Kong, a level of courtesy that left Hu Xiaoxiao a bit unaccustomed.
After the press conference, Huang Yuliang led his team directly north to continue handling other work related to the company's operations.
The company is managed by Huang Yuliang, who is also the company's largest shareholder and legal person. Hu Xiaoxiao handed over all these tasks to Huang Yuliang.
Now that Hu Xiaoxiao had some free time, he planned to take a good look around this rapidly developing city, feel the abundant energy of the mainland, and the familiar atmosphere that he had not seen for a long time.
Xie Zhiheng drove over, raised his chin and gestured to Hu Xiaoxiao, "Get in the car, I'll take you for a ride."
Hu Xiaoxiao looked at Xie Zhiheng, who had become several shades darker, and couldn't help but smile. He walked to the passenger seat, opened the door, and sat in. "Thank you for your hard work during this period."
Xie Zhiheng was the only one who handled all the affairs of Hanxiao Fashion Store. He was responsible for the store design, decoration, recruitment and other work.
Although he had many assistants, he still had to keep an eye on all the trivial matters, which took up a lot of his energy. Moreover, he also had to manage the garment factory and the industrial park, and the Xie family's assets were gradually shifting here, so he was now too busy to handle everything.
"It's okay, just a small matter. Compared with other work, it's not worth mentioning." Xie Zhiheng said modestly, but the corners of his mouth had already curled up with pride, and he couldn't suppress it.
After so many years of experience, the young man who once only knew how to eat, drink and have fun has now become a big capitalist in Shenzhen City where his stomping of feet can cause a shock.
Time flies. Everyone is changing, becoming better and more outstanding. Life is becoming more and more like what they pursue.
He went from being a playboy to a capitalist, and she went from being a Miss Hong Kong to a film and television tycoon.
Hu Xiaoxiao looked at the street lights outside the car that were gradually lighting up. This city was changing very quickly. In just a few years, tall buildings had sprung up one after another. It seemed that the city had a new look every day, full of vitality and vigor.
Xie Zhiheng's eyes also passed over the streetlights. He said to Hu Xiaoxiao, "Last year, this road didn't have any streetlights. Even this road, when I drove by last year, was all yellow mud and potholes everywhere. It nearly gave me a concussion."
The newly built six-lane road is wide, straight, and extremely modern, with ample green space on both sides, leaving ample room for future road expansion.
"It's very lively here." Hu Xiaoxiao said, looking at the construction sites on both sides of the road.
Xie Zhiheng nodded and said with emotion, "I've been here for the past few years, watching it change day by day. It's so fast, like the blink of an eye. Last month, when I went back to Baogang, my old friends were still laughing at me for always staying in the mainland and feeling so down-to-earth. They also laughed at me and said, what's so good about such a poor and rustic place? If it were a few years ago, before I came here, I would have thought the same as them, thinking this place is poor and rustic, backward and poor, with nothing to recommend it."
Xie Zhiheng gripped the steering wheel with both hands, his gaze fixed on the distance. "Only when you're here do you realize how rapidly the world changes. If you slow down one day, you'll be left behind, eliminated. My playmates are still the same as before, always thinking the world is as small as Baogang, and that development is just like the road in front of our door, unchanged for ten years."
Xie Zhiheng frequently travels between the two places, and can compare the two places with a deeper perspective. One has remained the same for ten years, while the other is different day by day, which has led to many changes in his thinking.
"You've grown up so fast," Hu Xiaoxiao said with a smile. "It seems like you've become a reliable person since someday. I've run into your father at banquets several times, and I've heard him bragging about your excellence, both openly and covertly. Now, the wealthy circles in Baogang all use you as a role model to spur other children."
Xie Zhiheng's lips curled up again. "In a place that's developing so fast, how can we not grow fast? What about you? Will you come here often in the future?"
"Yes." The company here has been established, and the focus of business has gradually shifted here. For now, her work is still in Baogang, but as the business here develops, she will spend more and more time here in the future.
She came from here and will naturally return here.
Xie Zhiheng was overjoyed. Although he had gotten used to the place, he still wanted to have a few friends around to keep him company after work. "In that case, let's buy a house here so we have a place to stay when we come to work. Staying in a hotel all the time isn't comfortable. If you stay here often, I'll have Sister Xi move in too."
"You're familiar with this area. Can you recommend any good neighborhoods?" Hu Xiaoxiao was very interested in buying a house. Although he had already bought a hillside plot in Baogang and planned to build a large villa, he still needed a comfortable home in the mainland where he would often work.
Wherever she works, that's where her house will be.
"Of course." Xie Zhiheng recommended a new residential complex under construction near the Zunshiji Mall. Upon completion, it would be a prime residential area, offering tranquility amidst the hustle and bustle, convenient for both commuting and working. This complex was also invested in by the Xie Group. To secure this land, the Xie family donated numerous public facilities in Shenzhen.
When Hu Xiaoxiao heard that Xie Zhiheng had already reserved a house for his own use in that neighborhood, she said, "Then I'll choose a house near yours too. You can help with the renovations when the time comes."
This was no big deal for Xie Zhiheng; he had a renovation company under him that could easily handle it. The Tiancui City where Hu Xiaoxiao currently lived was also originally renovated by Xie Zhiheng.
The two of them made an appointment to go to the sales office in the new community tomorrow to choose a house. Dong Peiyu knew about this and also wanted to buy a house near Hu Xiaoxiao to facilitate her future work and life.
Just as the three of them were about to head to the sales office, Mingxu arrived in Shenzhen. He had come to Shenzhen specifically to see the opening of the Hanxiao Fashion Store. He had originally planned to come yesterday, but he had to postpone filming for a day because he was rushing to finish filming a movie.
So, the three-person home-buying team became a team of four.
