Chapter 46
Wei Zhensheng's Nth 21st birthday party was held in a grand and magnificent manner. During this period, he also reached preliminary cooperation projects with many people.
Weisheng stayed with Wei Zhensheng almost the entire time, and Wei Zhensheng also introduced Weisheng to everyone as his sister-in-law.
Rich fools aren't common after all. The wealthy businessmen and politicians attending the birthday party noticed that Wei Zhensheng's attitude towards Wei Sheng wasn't like that of a relative, but rather a touch of affection and protection. Many of them looked at Wei Sheng with a certain scrutiny and inquiry.
So after the birthday party, many people asked about Weisheng's situation.
When they found out about Weisheng's registration qualifications at the police station, they all complained about Wei Zhensheng like crazy.
Oh my god, what kind of disease can make your own daughter call you brother-in-law so weird?
Sheridan Bob was a shrewd businessman, and Wen Ke'er was a fresh-faced young woman entering the workforce. Even though Wen Ke'er had tried to keep Wei Sheng's secret, Sheridan Bob unknowingly discovered the truth. And so, like other wealthy businessmen and politicians in Hong Kong, he viewed the messy relationship between Wei Sheng and his daughter with a kind of God-like skepticism.
As for Wei Zhensheng, the person involved, he celebrated his 21st birthday without a wife and children, which was a bit flawed. Then he started to busy himself with accumulating wealth.
As for Weisheng, since school hasn't started yet, her daily routine consists of reviewing her homework and going to the supermarket and market. Since seafood is so readily available and affordable, Weisheng has recently been buying plenty for a seafood feast and even throwing some of it into the river in the painting.
Although there is a big difference between seawater and freshwater, and they may not be able to survive in freshwater, but...survival of the fittest, maybe they can adapt.
Of course, if they really can't survive, Weisheng will harvest another acre of rice, then dig a large pond in that acre of land, fill it with sea water and make a small seafood farming base.
As for the other rice fields...just don't touch them, they will remain mature and you don't have to worry about them.
Before New Year's Day, Xu Zhirui finally decided to adopt the conservative treatment of traditional Chinese medicine proposed by Weisheng. For this purpose, Weisheng also cleaned up a guest room in his home and turned it into a traditional Chinese medicine clinic.
The 1,100-square-foot house has a living and dining room, three rooms, two bathrooms and two balconies.
One balcony is connected to the living room and the other is connected to the kitchen.
The master bedroom with a bathroom is Weisheng's own residence, and the two guest rooms are one that has been cleaned up to be used as a traditional Chinese medicine clinic, and the other has been arranged as a study.
Originally, Xu Zhirui asked Weisheng if she wanted to reserve a room for the Filipino maid. However, because Weisheng had too many secrets and did not want anyone to live in her house, she asked Xu Zhirui to arrange for the maid from Repulse Bay to come and help her clean the room every week, but she would not be needed at other times.
Xu Zhirui mentioned this to Wei Zhensheng. Not only did Wei Zhensheng not object, he also asked the maid to bring some supplements and food ingredients when he came.
What she said was that it was not easy for Weisheng, a little girl, to be alone outside.
Whenever Xu Zhirui heard Wei Zhensheng say this, he wanted to roll his eyes.
There are so many people who have a hard time, and I don’t see you being so soft-hearted and compassionate to everyone you meet.
It’s just the natural relationship between father and daughter. Don’t say anything more, we all understand!

Before seeking treatment at Weisheng, Xu Zhirui consulted numerous doctors, both traditional Chinese and Western medicine practitioners. Western doctors always recommended seeking more advanced medical care abroad, while traditional Chinese medicine practitioners recommended conservative treatment, though they couldn't guarantee its effectiveness.
When Xu Zhirui came to see Weisheng, because Weisheng's clinic had nothing, she only took Xu Zhirui's pulse, prescribed Chinese medicine, and asked him to go to other Chinese medicine shops to get the medicine according to the prescription.
Xu Zhirui then found a reputable Chinese medicine practitioner and, after some inquiries, discovered that the prescription they provided was surprisingly similar to Weisheng's. Because of the discrepancy, Xu Zhirui handed Weisheng's prescription to the practitioner, wanting to inquire about its quality.
Traditional Chinese medicine says that they are equally good, but Xu Zhirui subconsciously believes that Weisheng's is superior.
Because Weisheng not only gave Xu Zhirui a prescription, but also a diet plan. He also told him that after the first course of treatment, the next course would include acupuncture and fumigation therapy, as well as some Western medicine...
How should I put it? The arrangement was clear and the explanation was explicit. Emotionally, this also convinced Xu Zhirui even more.
Before the start of the semester, Weisheng's Traditional Chinese Medicine clinic was already set up. The night before school started, Xu Zhirui even came to Weisheng for his first acupuncture treatment.
What effect can one or two treatments have? Fortunately, Xu Zhirui is mentally prepared for long-term treatment.
…
Monday, the first day of school.
After breakfast, Weisheng changed into British-style school uniform, carried a backpack and went to school.
She didn't drive the Beetle, but walked to school through two alleys along the building.
The middle school that Weisheng attended was called Santiago National Middle School.
This is a public school that accepts both boys and girls, with a junior high school and a senior high school. While the teaching staff is certainly not as strong as some private schools, the annual admission rate is the highest among nearby schools.
According to the information obtained when completing the admission procedures, Weisheng easily found the high school department.
Because she was a transfer student, she had to look for the teacher on her first day at school.
There are only thirty-one students in the class, and including Weisheng, there are only thirty-two students in total.
Everyone was wearing school uniforms, but Weisheng was still sharp enough to see the backgrounds of these students.
First, look at their teeth and skin. Second, look at their other accessories, such as necklaces, watches, school bags, stationery, socks, etc.
After two classes, some classmates were curious about Weisheng and asked where he went to school. When they heard that Weisheng had just come from mainland China, they were a little surprised.
At this time, the Hong Kong government had just begun implementing its resistance policy, and the people of Hong Kong weren't particularly hostile to those from mainland China. Furthermore, nearly half of Hong Kong's population at that time were immigrants from various parts of mainland China. If you weren't even a pure Hong Konger, how could you look down on others?
However, in recent years, there have been too many people who have smuggled in from the mainland, and they have affected the lives of the locals.
In order to reduce costs, some unscrupulous businesses will give priority to hiring penniless mainlanders who are eager to gain a foothold in Hong Kong under very low conditions.
Restaurant waiters used to make around HK$300-400, but now it's been reduced to around HK$200. Porters used to make HK$8-10 a day, but now it's around HK$6 or HK$7.
In addition, the population base is growing, and prices are starting to rise bit by bit. It is conceivable that as time goes by, conflicts will definitely increase.
But these are not things that Weisheng needs to worry about. She just wants to adapt to her rare high school life.
The school doesn't have evening self-study classes; classes start at 8:30 a.m. and end at 3:30 p.m. After school, students can participate in school club activities. School is normal from Monday to Saturday, and Xu Zhirui receives regular treatment in the evenings.
On Sundays, I would either work at the restaurant owned by Wei Zhensheng's company, go shopping with classmates, or have dinner with Wei Zhensheng.
The homework is easy, the time is easy, and life is easy.
Sometimes, Weisheng would feel that the easy life she had these days was a reward for her hard work in her previous two lives.
…
Sheridan Bob was going back to the United States. When Wen Keer heard about it, she started looking for a new job and a new place to live.
She had been living with Sheridan Bob before, but since Sheridan Bob returned to his country, she could no longer live in the rented villa for free.
What Wen Ke'er didn't expect was that Hong Kong was nothing like what she saw in movies and TV series. The houses in movies and TV series were large and comfortable, but in reality, even renting a house of that size would be so expensive that Wen Ke'er was shocked.
With the commissions and tips she received these days, at best she could share a tenement building with someone else, oh, this place should be called a subdivided flat.
Who knows, she should be thankful that she didn't have to choose that kind of pigeon cage.
At this point, Wen Keer was both envious and jealous of Wei Sheng, who had a rich father.
I heard that in order to make it convenient for her to go to school, her father bought her a school district house near the school.
Alas, she really brought shame to her predecessors who traveled through time.
Sheridan Bob has a typical businessman face. Now that he is about to return to his country, he no longer needs Wen Ke'er, and he does not treat Wen Ke'er with as much respect as before.
When Wen Keer approached him and hoped that he could find her a job, Sheridan Bob actually asked Wen Keer to be his bed partner until she returned to China.
You are in your forties, bald, and have a beer belly. How can you have the nerve to say such things?
Because she was useful to him and he knew the father and daughter of Minshengwei family, he did not force her to do anything.
Wen Ke'er also felt insulted and immediately rejected him righteously. Worried that it would be dangerous to stay here any longer, she packed her bags and ran away.
It was only after she left with her luggage that Wen Keer realized that Hong Kong was so big and she had nowhere to go.
Afraid that the landlord would ask for too much money if she took her luggage to rent a house, Wen Keer wanted to ask Weisheng to stay with her first and then move out after she found a house.
But it wasn't until then that Wen Ke'er realized that she only knew Wei Zhensheng lived in Repulse Bay Villa and Weisheng lived near the middle school. Apart from Weisheng's phone number, she didn't know which middle school Weisheng attended or where he lived.
I called Weisheng, but he was not at home.
For a moment, I stood on the streets of Hong Kong with a confused look on my face, feeling really helpless and desperate.
Don't talk about how modern it is. Just say that after living in a villa for so long, if Wen Ke'er was asked to choose a subdivided flat, she would not be able to fit in no matter how hard she tried. In the end, she had to succumb to reality and chose a subdivided flat of about four square meters.
Then again, if Fang Ke hadn't died, Wen Ke'er might not have dared to go to Repulse Bay to recognize her relatives under such circumstances.
Unfortunately, Fang Ke was not only still alive, but had already recognized his biological father as his brother-in-law. Even if Wen Keer ran to Repulse Bay now, she would be just a fellow villager.
There was nothing in the subdivided flat except a bed made of a wooden board and two horse stools.
After renting this subdivided flat with a one-month deposit and one-month rent payment, Wen Keer only had two months' rent left.
But if she wanted to settle down, she had to buy even bedding, not to mention the necessities such as pots and pans.
After careful budgeting, I only have one month's rent left, and this money is also for this month's living expenses.
Faced with such a difficult life, Wen Keer felt even more jealous of Weisheng.
…
Compared to Wei Sheng, Wen Ke'er's situation was really bad. After arriving in this time and space, besides her abundant historical knowledge, her only decent English.
Even if she wanted to apply for a clerk position, she couldn't typewriter in this era. She could only read traditional Chinese characters but not write them, so she would end up writing in simplified Chinese. She could only listen to Cantonese but couldn't speak it.
After hitting a wall for five or six days, Wen Keer finally suppressed her embarrassment and gave Weisheng a call.
Weisheng is not a saint and will not help Wen Keer without hesitation, but she cannot watch Wen Keer walk down a path she cannot predict while she is within her ability.
When life's trajectory changes too much, it's hard to grasp the development of the situation. If you really ignore her and let her fall into trouble... people can do anything when they are pushed to the limit. There is no doubt that Wen Ke'er may rebound from her mistakes, which will create hidden dangers for you and others.
Thinking of this, Weisheng took action.
She found Xu Zhirui, and then used her connections to send Wen Ke'er to a national primary school as an English teacher.
In this way, it will not only help, but also to a certain extent prevent Wen Keer from entering the Hong Kong business circle.
