Huang Meihua came out of Wang Xinyi's room. "Hongmei, go get the keys. Let's go. I can take the driver's car. I'll go straight home from there."
"Let Annie stay here for a couple of days, then I'll go and take her home."
Zhao Haozheng was driving this time, following behind Huang Meihua's car. They arrived about half an hour later.
The place lacks the prosperity of later generations. It simply feels very spacious.
Huang Meihua got out of the car. "Hongmei, this is your home. It's all renovated and has never been lived in before. If you're not satisfied with anything, you can make some changes."
“Godmother, I won’t be moving in either, but this house is indeed big enough.”
"Yes, this yard is quite big too."
Zhang Hongmei intended to leave this house to Annie in the future.
“You don’t need to think about leaving it to Anne. See that house across the street? It’s a bit old, but it can be rebuilt when Anne grows up.”
"Oh, but I can't live here either. It's such a waste to leave it like this."
"Since it's yours, you can decide how to arrange it."
"Okay. I understand." Let's leave it like this for now. We'll deal with this place when the two houses on Wall Street are finished and we have some spare cash. Turning it into a themed hotel wouldn't be bad either; this area will be bustling in the future, and a hotel here would do well.
"Hongmei, this place is really nice. This designer is quite knowledgeable about interior design."
"Aunt Huang, is this designer someone from your family?"
"Yes, you can ask Carlos if you need anything. That young man is quite talented."
The three of them walked around the place. Zhang Hongmei was quite satisfied; she was leaving now, but if she were staying long-term, she would definitely move in.
"You two go ahead and get busy, I'm going home."
The two saw Huang Meihua off to her car. They then drove to the service company.
The person in charge personally greeted the two important figures upon their arrival.
Zhang Hongmei remained silent at this time, leaving the rest to Zhao Haozheng. She simply flipped through the property transfer and rental registration forms.
Looking at the densely packed registrations, I thought the real estate agency's performance this month should be quite good. But there are just too few rentals, meaning there are too few people renting houses. The rental prices seem reasonable, not unacceptably high, which is hard to understand.
There wasn't a location I liked. I flipped to another document, this one was for job seekers, this one seemed okay. There were a lot of job seekers, and quite a few companies were hiring. Looking at it, I realized that about 60% of the factories were owned by two large families.
It's good to keep the good stuff within the family. That's a good approach.
Zhao Haozheng had already instructed them to investigate and agreed that if there were no problems, the homeowner would be notified tomorrow afternoon to come and sign the contract.
Zhang Hongmei didn't pay attention to the prices. After the two got into the car, she said, "Hongmei, these two houses cost nine hundred thousand, and the ten acres of land cost two hundred thousand. Should we exchange the rest for cash and take it back?"
"The price is really not high."
"Even if the price is too high, nobody will want it. They've been wanting to sell their houses for a long time."
"Oh! How do we resolve the issue of unpaid wages?"
“I think there are two options. The first is that we deduct 30% of the money and give him the rest after the full salary is paid. The second option is that we take care of paying his salary.”
"Let's go with the first one."
"Actually, either one will do. A family member of the service company manager works there. He will definitely notify all the workers. From what he said, most of the workers have probably registered here to look for work. This should be resolved smoothly."
"That's good. Once you get the house tomorrow, you can start arranging the construction and renovation."
"Okay, I understand."
"Let's put the money left over from selling the house with Lauren Frain. Renovating will probably cost a lot."
The two arrived home quickly. Annie slept with Ningning, and when she woke up and learned that her grandmother and mother had gone out, she wasn't upset. Instead, she played with the little guy. So when Zhang Hongmei returned, she saw Annie in her pajamas, lying next to Ningning, telling him a story.
"Mom, you're back? Has Grandma gone home?"
"Yes, you can stay with your mother for a few days. If you miss home, I'll send you back."
Zhao Tiancheng wasn't home in the afternoon either. Instead, he went to contact a tailor. Although Zhao Haozheng, the current designer, could be contacted directly, an experienced tailor still needed to be prepared.
The next day, everyone left for work early. Cheng Guangxu was a little excited.
"Hongmei, the research team will hand you a new game design today. We followed up on it all yesterday, and I suddenly feel very confident."
"Heh, feeling like you're better than them?"
"Yes, yes! Compared to you, I'm like heaven and earth, but compared to them, I'm still more than well off."
"Is Cai Peilin trying to assert his presence? Or is he trying to feel superior?"
Cai Peilin smiled and nodded. "He was very excited yesterday."
"Uncle Cheng, I want to go play with your research group today."
"Okay, let's go."
“Annie, if you want to come back, ask your Uncle Zhao to come and see you off.”
"Okay, Mom."
Only the three of them and the little one are left at home.
Zhang Hongmei was in charge of playing with the children, while Wang Xinyi started drawing. At first, she didn't feel very good about it, but she gradually got the hang of it. She didn't draw Hanfu, as people here might not be able to accept it. She only planned to draw Qipao, a type of clothing from China.
Ningning is particularly fond of Zhang Hongmei. Perhaps children are very sensitive to spiritual energy, so she gets especially excited whenever Zhang Hongmei holds her.
Annie didn't come back all morning. After Ningning fell asleep, Zhang Hongmei went to the research group.
Annie was listening intently as Cheng Guangxu explained the code to her!
Isn't this a bit too early? But since she's willing to listen, I'll let her be. So I didn't disturb them and quietly left to go home.
Around noon, Zhao Hao was calling Zhang Hongmei, asking Zeng Zhongkang to come pick him up. He was worried about carrying so much cash; it didn't feel safe.
In the afternoon, Zeng Zhongkang accompanied Zhao Haozheng to the service company.
When Zhao Hao returned home that evening, he handed all three documents to Zhang Hongmei. "They're all done and filed. Honestly, it cost an extra 10,000 yuan in taxes."
"It's okay to spend the money. At least we have a record of it, which gives us peace of mind."
"Yes, the clubhouse plan was submitted this morning. Judging from Wyattroy's expression, he seems quite satisfied. The meeting is this Friday. Hongmei, aren't you going?"
"No, I'm not going. With you here, I can take a break. Besides, I might not even have time to stay. The address of the ladies' club hasn't been finalized yet, so I need to make a decision quickly."
"Didn't you want to use the Zhou family's old house?"
"I think the cost of the modification is too high and not worth it."
