June 9, 1982, Wednesday, Bafu Garden, Kowloon District, Hong Kong.
When Sun Dahai woke up, he found himself sleeping in a strange bed.
After he calmed down, he remembered that he was in Xiangjiang now, not at home in the capital.
Sun Dahai got dressed and walked out of the bedroom.
This is a luxury apartment with three bedrooms, two living rooms, two bathrooms and one kitchen. Sun Dahai and his grandmother lived here when they were in Xiangjiang.
Bafu Garden is a luxury apartment built in the second half of 1980. It has three buildings in a row, each with four floors and six households. All of them have three bedrooms, two living rooms, two bathrooms and one kitchen, but the area is different.
As a partner of the developer, Hanyu International Law Firm, where Cao Yong worked, provided him with a complete set of legal services. So, Cao Yong, who had just gotten married, bought two houses at an internal preferential price, one for his own use and the other for his own use.
Then he learned from his uncle Zheng Ziwei and used it as an investment.
Bafu Garden has a total of 25 floors. The first to fourth floors are parking lots, and the apartments are located on the fifth floor. The two apartments Cao Yong bought are adjacent, both on the 20th floor.
Zheng Ziwei, who had made a fortune by investing in real estate in the past few years, also came here after hearing the news. Because these are all large-scale high-end apartments, it does not fit in with his concept of focusing on small-scale apartments as his main investment target. However, because Cao Yong can buy a house at an internal price,
, it is more cost-effective, so Zheng Ziwei also invested in one, located on the 5th floor.
In the past year or so, Zheng Ziwei has sold almost all of the properties he owned for investment. The final profit was even more than expected last year.
Zheng Ziwei kept this house on the fifth floor of Bafu Garden. When Zheng Ziyun came to Xiangjiang to take care of Lisa last year, the property was transferred to Zheng Ziyun, which was treated as dividends from the printing factory over the years.
When Chef Cao and his wife agreed to settle in Xiangjiang, Cao Yong took back the house he invested in and rented out. After rearranging it, he planned to leave it to his parents.
Sun Dahai now lives on the 20th floor, which is the house where Chef Cao and his wife live. There are three bedrooms, one for him and his grandma, and the master bedroom belongs to Chef Cao and his wife.
Next door is Cao Yong's house. As for Fang Lin and Cao Yue, they stayed in the hotel. Cao Yong and Lisa helped them book a honeymoon suite so that they could enjoy their happy time. In two days, they will go with the group
Japan, continue their honeymoon trip.
The fifth-floor house is currently vacant, but arrangements have been made. At the reception banquet arranged by Zheng Ziwei last night, everyone chatted together.
Chef Cao said that he couldn't stay idle and wanted to open a small restaurant, but he was not very satisfied with the place Zheng Ziwei specially reserved for him, as well as the several places he found later.
Sun Dahai gave him an idea.
…
"You clean up your five-story house and open a high-end private restaurant, mainly serving Shandong and Manchu cuisine.
Three bedrooms are used as private rooms. The master bedroom is large and can have two tables. The two secondary bedrooms can have one table each. There are only four tables for lunch and dinner every day, and a table can seat up to ten people. This way you can relax and save trouble.
.
Let’s charge per table, for example, 1,999 Hong Kong dollars per table, excluding drinks.”
Chef Cao was shocked and said, "It's so expensive. Is anyone here?"
"Of course, this makes it look high-end. You just follow the standard of eight cool and twelve hot. There is no menu, no ordering, the main course is what you buy every day, and you eat fresh and casually."
Zheng Ziwei said: "I think it's okay. My brother-in-law's craftsmanship is fine and will definitely satisfy people. When I open the business, I'll call more friends to support you."
"Yes, Dad. I have a good relationship with my colleagues in the law firm. In our profession, we often have entertainment. I will bring them here a few times. If they get the appetite, they will often order food here in the future."
"Grandpa Cao, just feel free to do it."
"Sure, then I'll give it a try. I'll go find someone to renovate the house tomorrow."
…
After Sun Dahe washed up, he went downstairs to do morning exercises at the Bafu Street Sports Ground. This is a free and open professional sports ground. Cao Yong knew that Sun Dahe did morning exercises every day. After settling in yesterday, he specially brought him here to know the way.
Sun Dahai's first trip to Xiangjiang after his rebirth began.
Grandma Jiang Xiuping was picked up by lawyer Yu Kaihao in the morning, and a lot of documents were waiting for her to sign.
Sun Dahai did not go with his grandma, but followed Chef Cao and his wife, who were busy looking for someone to decorate the house. Who knew it was his idea.
Sun Dahai, who had been busy all morning, hid at home in the afternoon, called the directory information desk, and got the betting numbers set up in Xiangjiang by William Hill, Ladbrokes and Coral. Through the betting number, he transferred the information he wanted to use.
Each of the four bank accounts is registered as a member of two gaming companies.
The day passed quickly...
In the evening, Chef Cao prepared dinner and was waiting for everyone to come back so that they could start eating dinner.
Fang Lin and Cao Yue also came back. During the day, they were taken by Susan, Huang Feifei's family friend who runs a travel agency. They first went to Wong Tai Sin Temple to apply for a visa, and then went to the pier to take the Star Ferry and cruise around Victoria Harbor.
Cao Yong has also arrived home, and now Lisa has to go back to her parents' house after get off work to pick up her daughter Cao Shanshan, so it will be a little later.
The door opened, and Lisa walked in carrying a huge mommy bag and holding the little princess Cao Shanshan.
Zheng Ziyun and Jiang Xiuping, who had been waiting for a long time, hurried forward to pick up the child, and held them for a while, looking at each other endlessly.
At this time, Sun Dahai discovered that there was someone behind Aunt Lisa, carrying the child's supplies.
The man took a step forward and said to Zheng Ziyun: "Hello, aunt."
"Oh, Simon, you're here. Sorry, I was just looking at Shanshan and didn't even see you. Come on, just put your things there and sit down and have a rest." Zheng Ziyun greeted him.
"Aunt Jiang, Dahai, this is my cousin Simon. He has nothing to do these days. I asked him to come so that you can get to know him. I asked him to take you around for a few days."
"Aunt Jiang, Dahai, hello, I'm Simon."
"Hello, Uncle Simon." Sun Dahai said hello, but felt something was wrong.
He took a closer look and saw how this Simon looked like Ren Kuei.
At this time, Lisa continued to introduce: "Simon is an actor, and he doesn't have any film appointments right now. He likes to play, and he is familiar with people. If it comes to leading people to play, he is much better than me."
"Sister, are you praising me or scolding me?" Simon smiled bitterly.
At this time, Chef Cao walked out of the kitchen.
"Lisa is back. Is baby Shanshan okay? Andy, you're here too, why didn't you tell me in advance so I could cook your favorite dish?"
"My name is Simon, you have to call him Hua Zai." Zheng Ziyun was a little angry at Chef Cao.
"Hello, uncle, I was just called here by my sister. Aunt, Simon is my English name, and my Chinese name is Ren Kuei. My uncle calls me Hua Zai, which sounds more affectionate. In fact, I prefer others. Call me by my Chinese name.”
Yes, Sun Dahai has now confirmed that he is really Ren Kuang.
"Then I'll call you Uncle Hua. Uncle Hua, is it fun to make a movie?" Sun Dahai hit the snake with a stick.
"Making movies is fun, but being an actor is not fun. It is very hard. Dahai, if you are interested in making movies, I will find an opportunity to take you to the studio."
"Okay, thank you, Uncle Hua."
At this time, Cao Yong and Fang Lin Cao Yue had already prepared dinner in the restaurant and invited everyone to take a seat.
After Lisa introduced both parties to each other, dinner began.
