“Xiaoyu, this is a good first home for us in Hong Kong. I like it very much. Although it’s not as big as my home in Shanghai, it’s not small either. Especially the garden in the front yard, I think it’s very beautiful. I like it very much.”
Song Ziqing felt that living in this villa gave him a bourgeois vacation vibe, and since it faced the sea, he could take a walk on the beach after dinner every day.
The backyard of the new villa faces the sea, and there is also a beach that belongs to the villa; the property certificate includes that beach.
Seeing Song Ziqing excitedly run onto the beach, Lin Chengyu knew that the girl liked this kind of environment. He made up his mind that when he was rich, he would buy several villas near the main villa, so that they would have a large private beach.
However, he didn't say it aloud. After all, it was just empty talk. He didn't like empty words; taking direct action was what he pursued.
Seeing that the two of them had bought the villa so readily, Zhang Yifeng asked them about their next plans.
"Ms. Song, do we still need to look at houses?"
"Let's grab lunch first, then we can look at apartments this afternoon. Now that we've settled on a place to live, I'm thinking of buying another building to rent out. The income won't be huge, but it will be stable."
Regardless of the era, real estate remains one of the best investment options. While it may not offer the highest returns, it is certainly the most stable.
Lin Chengyu also knew that Hong Kong's housing prices were very low in the 1960s. Entering the market at this time meant that housing prices were at their lowest, practically dirt cheap.
Even at rock-bottom prices, the average price is still around 500 yuan per square meter, enough to buy a house in mainland China.
Song Ziqing spent several hundred thousand yuan on a villa in Repulse Bay, which was quite a large sum. He signed the contract directly, and in the afternoon, after the three of them had lunch, the property certificate was delivered.
In the afternoon, the three of them spent half a day browsing the real estate market. Song Ziqing made a decision on the spot to buy two tenement buildings near Central. The amount of money spent was not much, less than 500,000.
Next, Song Ziqing completely abandoned the recruitment work, leaving it all to Lin Chengyu.
Three days later, Song Ziqing discovered that Zhang Yifeng had left HSBC and become Lin Chengyu's assistant, helping him with various procedures for building the factory.
Li Yong, the manager of the Peninsula Hotel, was also 35 years old. He felt that there was not much room for advancement at the Peninsula Hotel, so when he saw Manager Zhang jump ship, he followed suit.
Li Yong became Song Ziqing's special assistant, in charge of all of Song Ziqing's investments and financial management.
Li Yong's job is not complicated, but it requires patience and meticulousness, which is perfect for someone like Li Yong who has always worked in the service industry.
As soon as he took over, he compiled a list of all the properties under Song Ziqing's name and even helped Zhang Yifeng buy the plot of land halfway up the mountain.
Lin Chengyu planned to take advantage of the large number of people fleeing from the mainland to Hong Kong and the rising unemployment rate, so he set up a construction company to build a factory for him and his wife and hire professional architects to build a home for them on Victoria Peak.
The grove of trees that the two people brought with them was left behind by the two men. They simply had the workers tidy up the grove and transplant some trees to make them grow in a more scientific and reasonable way.
This was the day the two of them moved.
They've been in Hong Kong for a week now, and the two of them come to the Mid-Levels woods early every morning to check on things, but the time tunnel hasn't appeared yet.
Each time, the two of them returned home disappointed.
Song Ziqing's villa name was also added, directly listed as Song Residence. Lin Chengyu didn't care about this, since she was the one who originally paid for the house.
Ever since he got his marriage certificate with Song Ziqing, Lin Chengyu felt that it was perfectly natural for him to live off his wife.
Even though most of the shares in his cosmetics company were under Song Ziqing's name, he was still very enthusiastic about his business. He had read countless business cases and practical examples, but he had never actually put them into practice.
Now that he finally has the opportunity to practice, Lin Chengyu is very happy every day.
Even after marrying Song Ziqing and settling down, he wasn't in a hurry to have a physical and spiritual connection with her. He still wanted to date her slowly for a while longer.
The reason he was in such a hurry to get married was simply because he was afraid that someone else would take her away from him.
Now that she has become his wife, his heart has settled down, and he is no longer in a hurry for the cooked duck to fly away.
He now plans to adopt a different strategy in his relationship with Song Ziqing: slowly boiling the frog.
He wanted her to get used to his company, to his presence, and to having him in every aspect of her life.
He wanted her to be inseparable from him and stay with him for the rest of her life!
Lin Chengyu felt that he was just that selfish!
In a relationship, the person who invests their feelings first tends to think more deeply about things.
Lin Chengyu felt that this was the case between him and Song Ziqing.
She came from the modern world and is used to living alone. Even if she wants to date, that's all she wants. As for marriage and living with another person for the rest of her life, she has no such thoughts at all.
The reason she wanted to marry him a few days ago was only out of temporary sympathy for him, and also because she felt lost facing the unknown future alone and wanted to find someone to share the burden with.
She couldn't see the intensity of love in his eyes, but what he wanted from her was love!
She only has a slight liking for him now, not love.
This is not what he pursues. After his rebirth, what he wants most is to have a beautiful romance, find the girl he loves most, have two children with her, and live a happy life as a family.
In his past life, this was what he sought: an ordinary and mundane life.
Having been reborn, he not only pursues a happy family life but also wants to achieve perfection in his career; he doesn't want to leave any more regrets.
The Song family now has a new butler, a graduate of the British Butler Academy. He's a newcomer named Mike, of mixed Chinese and English descent, and speaks both Chinese and English quite well. He's only 25 years old and had been pursuing a master's degree at the academy. But after graduating, he found that finding a job was incredibly difficult.
He then realized that he was half Chinese, which was why he came to Hong Kong, feeling that it was a better fit for him. However, he was still disappointed because he had no work experience.
In addition, the social and employment environment in Hong Kong has been very poor recently, making it even more difficult for him to find a job.
After being here for more than half a year, they finally came across Lin Chengyu's recruitment. The two young owners wanted to find a relatively young housekeeper because the older ones were too rigid in their thinking.
