Mike then applied for a job at the Song residence and became the housekeeper of the villa.
He also hired several veterans from the mainland as bodyguards for the couple, several Filipino maids as nannies, and was very lucky to hire two chefs, one of whom was a refugee from Guangzhou and the other was from Sichuan.
Since learning that her family now had not only a Cantonese chef but also a Sichuan chef, Song Ziqing had been very excited about today's housewarming banquet.
She was excited as she moved from the Peninsula Hotel to the villa early in the morning.
"Xiaoyu, our new home is so beautiful! Most importantly, I feel so free breathing the air here!"
Song Ziqing had a very repressed life in Shanghai before. No matter how much money he had, he could only spend it secretly.
Thinking of this, she also thought of the Shanghai delicacies, as well as various food and supplies that she had stored in her ring space.
If she had known earlier that her family's old house had a time tunnel leading to Hong Kong, she wouldn't have needed to secretly go around buying so many supplies.
However, compared to the good quality and low prices in mainland China, everything in Hong Kong is much more expensive, so she bought it and kept it as a precaution.
The ring compartment with its food preservation function is exactly what she wanted!
"You really think freedom is my greatest pursuit. Qingqing, this is the first home you bought for us. From now on, I'll buy our own homes. You can't compete with me for it anymore! Otherwise, the rumors in Hong Kong will say I'm a henpecked husband and a gigolo!"
Although Lin Chengyu didn't mind people gossiping about him, he had read a lot of news from Hong Kong in his previous life and knew that it was a city with a very free and unrestrained press. From the highest governor to ordinary people, no one could escape the mouths and pens of reporters!
He didn't want to become the center of gossip for reporters or a provider of gossip.
With this in mind, he decided to start another newspaper and a security company.
The security guards were there to protect him and Song Ziqing's safety, but more importantly, they could take in many veterans from the mainland. These people were at the very bottom of Hong Kong's social hierarchy, and he wanted to help them while also strengthening his and his wife's influence in Hong Kong.
No matter where you go, political power grows out of the barrel of a gun!
In Hong Kong, there's strength in numbers!
Especially since they are veterans trained by the mainland government, who have also experienced the test of blood and fire, he felt that with their presence, whether it was for his life, studies, or career in Hong Kong, the security company would protect the two of them.
The same principle applies to newspapers. Once a newspaper has grown and expanded, it means that it has control over freedom of speech, which is always very important.
Song Ziqing smiled, seeing his smug expression as he spoke, she knew he wasn't angry. "Xiaoyu, you have a broad mind, that's something to be encouraged and developed! I like men with strong hearts! I feel very suffocated if they're too petty!"
"Okay, I will try my best to strengthen my heart! As long as you don't leave me, my heart will grow infinitely bigger!"
What Lin Chengyu said at this moment will one day in the future make Song Ziqing extremely angry!
Even after being reborn, this guy remains incredibly stubborn.
He was obsessed with winning Song Ziqing's love. Even if he couldn't win her love for the time being, he wanted to have her body first!
Now that he has successfully won Song Ziqing's heart, he is plotting to slowly win her over.
On this day, no one in Hong Kong would know what the arrival of Song Ziqing and Lin Chengyu would bring to the entire city.
Many people in the Repulse Bay villa area have heard that a young, wealthy couple from the mainland have arrived nearby. Unlike typical refugees, they didn't just stay at the Peninsula Hotel for a week and even went so far as to buy land and villas from HSBC.
What everyone talks about most is the name on the villa: Song Residence.
These two characters were quite surprising, after all, they were the wife's surname in that couple.
It's important to know that in Hong Kong during the 1960s, polygamy was still the norm, and the preference for sons over daughters was very strong. Traditionally, men were the breadwinners and women were the homemakers.
Many women even add their husband's surname before their given name.
The uniqueness of the Song residence not only sparked discussions among the neighbors in Repulse Bay, but also made paparazzi in Hong Kong extremely gossipy about the owner of the Song residence, like dogs smelling fish.
Meanwhile, Song Ziqing and Lin Chengyu, caught in the vortex of gossip, were completely unaware of the situation.
There weren't many people eating hot pot today. Only Zhang Yifeng's family, consisting of his parents, wife, two sons, and sister, a family of seven, and Li Yong's family, consisting of his parents, wife, one son, and two daughters, a family of seven, except for his grandparents who were too old to come.
The two families, along with Song Ziqing and her husband, made a total of sixteen people. They sat around the long table in the restaurant and enjoyed the meal immensely. Song Ziqing, in particular, kept eating Sichuan dishes, finding the familiar spicy and numbing flavor exceptionally familiar and appealing to her.
"Xiaoyu, this Sichuan food is so flavorful and invigorating! You should try it!"
Song Ziqing felt that eating some Sichuan cuisine for lunch would improve his appetite, while Cantonese cuisine was more suitable for dinner. Eating a lighter meal would also be healthier.
Lin Chengyu had always eaten mostly Shanghainese and Hainanese cuisine, but now, following Song Ziqing's advice, he ate a piece of boiled pork slices. As soon as it entered his mouth, his lips were so spicy that tears streamed down his face, making him look like Lin Daiyu with tears in his eyes. Song Ziqing couldn't stop laughing at this.
"Haha, Xiaoyu, you're really no good! You can't even handle mild spice. If you went to Sichuan and they served you extra spicy dishes, you'd probably cry your eyes out!"
Song Ziqing laughed uncontrollably, thoroughly enjoying the spectacle of Lin Chengyu's misfortune. After several days of reflection, she realized that she had been manipulated by the charismatic Lin Chengyu. Without much hesitation, she had registered their marriage. Although their lives remained the same, with each sleeping in their own room, their relationship had indeed changed.
To outsiders, they are simply a married couple.
Even though the villa is called Song Residence, they know that the owner's surname is Lin, and he is a capable young man. He is very mature in both his knowledge and actions. As his assistant, Zhang Yifeng is very impressed with him.
So he quickly tried to smooth things over: "Miss Song, Mr. Lin is just not used to Sichuan cuisine. He'll get used to it after eating it a few more times. My family has been from Sichuan for generations, and I also went from not being used to Sichuan cuisine at first to gradually coming to like it. I believe Mr. Lin will be the same."
