"Let's not provoke her for now, since we can't afford to. Let's stick to the plan and acquire as many plots of land as possible first," Cheng Yuandong instructed his assistant.
"Understood, Mr. Cheng. I'll contact Manager Qiao to see which plots of land have development value. Fortunately, there aren't many real estate companies in Nanhai right now, so we still have enough options."
The assistant also felt that Hua Chu would be a formidable rival in the future, and it was best not to provoke them for now!
Qin Weidong and Mi Fei are one thing, but Zhou Chuyu's boyfriend has such a powerful family background. If things really get out of hand, they'll all have to back down. It's just about making some money, why bother getting involved with someone like that?
It would be better to pick up the land that Huachu doesn't want in the future. They'll make a lot of money, while Far East Group will only make a small amount!
Cheng Yuandong felt that his assistant's words made a lot of sense. He hadn't expected to encounter such a person and needed to spend some time thinking about how to get along with Hua Chu's future people.
To be enemies? No need.
Being friends? If you're competing with someone in the same industry, you probably can't be friends.
However, Hua Chu's future arrival and the addition of Zhou Chuyu, the chosen one, strengthened his determination to develop the South China Sea. It seems that coming to the South China Sea was the right decision.
Chu Yu was investigating Cheng Yuandong, and Cheng Yuandong was also investigating her. Both groups were secretly observing each other. Qin Weidong originally wanted to take action against this person, but fortunately, the other party was pragmatic enough to avoid Hua Chu Future in the next few land acquisitions.
Before they knew it, it was 1989. With the Spring Festival approaching, Chu Yu planned to take his family to Gangcheng to handle Hua Lai's official business, meet with Long Cheng, and buy a plot of land in Gangcheng to build a villa.
Land prices in the port city are not cheap, and Chu Yu doesn't have much money on hand, so now is not the most suitable time.
However, buying land in Hong Kong is not something that can be done all at once. She thought she would take her time and see which wealthy person was willing to make a move. If she had the money, she could connect with them and buy the land.
Shu Hui had never been to Hong Kong before, so when Chu Yu suggested spending the Lunar New Year there, they were both quite happy.
Shen Jun had been to Hong Kong in her previous life, but not in this one. Chu Yu thought about taking her there, and the whole family would spend the New Year in Hong Kong.
Chu Yu went directly from the South China Sea, while Shu Hui and the others departed directly from Beijing. They met at the Hong Kong airport.
Chu Yu's journey was short, and she arrived quickly. She waited at the airport for more than two hours before finally seeing Shu Hui and the others getting off the plane.
"Mom!" Chu Yu rushed over, hugged her two mothers, and called out affectionately.
Shen Jun laughed, "You've already started a real estate company, you're a CEO now, not too big, not too small, why are you still acting like a child?"
Shu Hui laughed too, "That's why people say children never grow up in front of their mothers."
It had been more than half a year since I last saw Chu Yu. She had lost some weight and gotten a bit darker, but she had become more and more beautiful.
The sun in the South China Sea is quite scorching. No matter how well Chu Yu takes sun protection measures, she inevitably gets tanned from walking around the company all day. However, she has now shed her girlish plumpness and has a kind of beauty that lies between girlhood and mature womanhood. Her temperament has also become more capable.
With her permed hair, wearing a fitted red dress and the newest lipstick developed by Mandarin Cosmetics, Chu Yu walked the streets of Hong Kong looking every bit like a local celebrity.
Chu Yu booked the most luxurious hotel. The hotel had a great night view and was easy to get to and from. It was Shu Hui's first time visiting the bustling port city, and she was amazed. She felt that the port city was like a future world, completely different from the mainland.
"I used to think that life was good enough after the reform and opening up, but I never imagined that the outside world was like this."
Chu Yu smiled. Hong Kong was indeed prosperous, but the mainland might catch up. Besides, they were both cities of our country. If Hong Kong was doing well, then China was doing well. Chu Yu was happy to see Hong Kong get better and better.
In her previous life, Chu Yu had brought Shen Jun to Hong Kong several times, but Shen Jun never expected that Hong Kong would be so developed in the late 1980s. They went to the streets to eat wontons, try local specialties, shop at convenience stores, and go shopping in malls.
Shen Jun and Shu Hui's repressed shopping instincts were unleashed in the port city.
They wanted to buy gold, medicine for sprains and bruises, clothes, skincare products, and bags. They wanted to buy everything they saw. On the first day alone, their suitcases were already full!
Chu Yu, dragging around bags and packages, was truly impressed by the two's shopping prowess!
"Moms, the gold in Hong Kong is very beautiful. Why don't you buy some jewelry? Pick one for Chu Xiang and Chu Chu as well, and I'll pay for it!"
Chu Chu found everything novel and interesting. She was wearing Mandarin clothes, which were naturally fashionable. Beijing was the capital of China. She had lived in Beijing for several years and even worked as a celebrity. She had seen a lot of the world, but when she came to Hong Kong, she felt like a country bumpkin.
"Sister, the trams here have two levels, and the upper level is open."
Chu Yu smiled and said, "I'll show you around later."
"Sis, the people here walk so fast, it's like someone is chasing them. Why don't they slow down?"
The pace of life in the port city is fast, and Chu Yu felt uncomfortable when she first came here.
She explained the culture of the port city to Chuchu, letting her know that women do not need to depend on men. Many women work hard, earn money, buy houses, and live a good life through their own efforts. This kind of life is meaningful.
"We can't always think about relying on men to make money. If men make money while you stay home to take care of the children, and you have to ask them for money when you're short of cash, that kind of life of having to ask for handouts is too difficult! Women should rely on their own hands to earn money honestly and find the meaning of their own lives."
Chu Chu nodded firmly. She kept her sister's words in mind and would never rely on a man to support her.
After Chu Yu took them shopping, they went to the amusement park. Shu Hui and Shen Jun said they didn't want to go, but they had a lot of fun once they got inside, not to mention Chu Xiang and Chu Chu!
