Courtyard House: My Wife is Xu Huizhen

Page 677

Liao Lieying was even more embarrassed by He Yuzhu's words, and couldn't help but gently pat He Yuzhu's knee, pouting coquettishly:

"No way!"

Upon seeing this, He Yuzhu couldn't help but burst into laughter. He then gently pulled Liao Lieying into his arms and kissed her tenderly.

For a moment, the air was filled with a sweet and happy scent.

"Oh dear, this is terrible! This is an office!"

He Yuzhu was actually very tempted, but he knew that Liao Lieying was not in a convenient position at the moment, so he had no choice but to give up the idea.

Then, the two of them began to talk about how Tevin Bennett had just delivered the Hongfa Industrial Building.

"Wow, they're so fast! How about we go take a look together?" He Yuzhu asked excitedly.

Liao Lieying rolled her eyes in annoyance and said coquettishly:

"Hmph, do you think it's convenient for me to go out like this?"

Even so, she was actually a little worried, fearing that He Yuzhu might take the opportunity to grope her.

After a moment's thought, she said, "However, if it's just walking, there's no big problem."

Seeing that Liao Lieying had relented, He Yuzhu nodded hurriedly in agreement.

So the two of them headed down to the garage. They arrived at their destination in no time.

As soon as Liao Lieying entered the garage, his gaze was immediately drawn to the brand-new Bentley sports car. He couldn't help but exclaim in amazement:

"Hey, when did you buy this car?"

He Yuzhu smiled slightly and replied, "This was just delivered by someone."

Liao Lieying circled the car, clicking her tongue in amazement:

"Goodness, this car costs fifty thousand pounds! It's not much cheaper than a Rolls-Royce."

Liao Lieying secretly calculated that, converted at the exchange rate, it would be roughly several hundred thousand Hong Kong dollars—enough to buy several luxury apartments of over a thousand square feet. However, for the wealthy and powerful Liao Lieying, a mere luxury car was nothing special.

He Yuzhu drove the luxurious Bentley at breakneck speed toward Xihewan.

He was in a good mood throughout the journey, looking forward to meeting Huang Zhirou and inspecting the magnificent Hongfa Industrial Building.

Before long, Bentley came to a steady stop in front of the Hongfa Industrial Building.

At this time, Huang Zhirou had already arrived and was respectfully waiting at the entrance with the building's management team.

With her graceful figure and sweet smile, she quickly went to greet He Yuzhu as soon as he got out of the car.

As soon as He Yuzhu got out of the car, his gaze was drawn to the towering Hongfa Industrial Building. The building was magnificent and its unique design made a strong visual impact.

He admired the building's magnificence as he followed Huang Zhirou inside.

Huang Zhirou enthusiastically introduced to He Yuzhu:

"Boss, look, our Hongfa Industrial Building is much bigger than the Cheung Kong Industrial Building! It's also 11 stories high, but each floor is a whopping 11,000 square feet!"

In addition, there are spiral staircases on both sides of the building, making it easy for trucks to drive directly to the top floor to load and unload goods.

Furthermore, the building is equipped with multiple advanced freight elevators and a dedicated elevator leading to the top floor, ensuring efficient and convenient transportation.

He Yuzhu listened to Huang Zhirou's introduction with great interest, while carefully observing the internal structure of the building.

He discovered that the ground floor was a spacious and bright parking lot with vehicles parked in an orderly manner; the first floor was a bustling commercial area with a wide variety of shops; and the second floor was an exquisitely decorated office building with an elegant and comfortable environment.

From the third floor upwards, there are numerous subdivided factory buildings where workers are busy at work.

Huang Zhirou continued:

"Currently, most of the space downstairs has been successfully rented out, and business is booming."

However, two floors are currently vacant. Do you have any specific plans or ideas regarding this, boss?

After she finished speaking, she looked at He Yuzhu with expectant eyes, waiting for his instructions.

He Yuzhu nodded slightly, indicating his agreement, and said:

“That’s right. All the other industrial buildings are currently under construction, so this is the only one that has been completed. I’ve already notified all the tenants in advance that we will absolutely not renew any new contracts with them after their leases expire!” His tone was firm and decisive.

"OK, all right."

Huang Zhirou responded softly, though she had already guessed that this would be the outcome.

After all, the revenue generated from those three floors was already insufficient to cover expenses and far from meeting the company's operational needs.

She knew perfectly well that her boss definitely planned to further expand the business. Then, Huang Zhirou proceeded to introduce the plan methodically:

"By the way, there's also a spacious apartment on the top floor, which is about 3000 square feet. Apart from that apartment, the remaining space has been planned as a mixed-use office space that can accommodate multiple companies at the same time."

Chapter 472 This thing is so expensive

"Oh, then let's go straight to the top floor and take a look."

It's worth noting that many family-run companies in Hong Kong today exist as entire buildings.

These buildings are mainly used for renting out, but at the same time, they carefully renovate the top floor into their own residences.

In this way, they can make full use of the space and demonstrate the family's status and strength, achieving two goals at once. This situation is quite common in the area.

Soon, the group took the elevator and arrived at the top floor smoothly. To the east was a large apartment building with as many as five bedrooms. In addition, it was fully equipped with a kitchen, bedrooms, wardrobes, living room and other facilities, and even came with a spacious open-air garden.

The western part of the area has been developed into typical office buildings, featuring both luxurious private offices and shared common office spaces.

That said, He Yuzhu already owns a villa in Victoria Peak.

However, for some reason, he rarely went there to live, and still chose to live in the rented house in Wan Chai.

As for its fixed office location, it is located in a rented building in the Yangtze River Industrial Building.

The place was not only cramped and narrow, but it was also next to a noisy workshop where the constant noise from the machines was unbearable.

After carefully touring the penthouse apartment, He Yuzhu nodded in satisfaction and said:

"Well, I plan to tidy up this place properly first, and then move here."

Upon hearing this, Huang Zhirou couldn't help but ask curiously, "Are you moving in as well?"

"Let's move the stuff over here first. We can move it back after the industrial building in Wan Chai is completed."

As He Yuzhu spoke, he gestured with his hands, as if he could already see the magnificent building standing before him in the future.

The industrial buildings he constructed all followed the same pattern: the ground floor consisted of shops, the floor above was planned as office space, and the top floor was designed with residences and some dedicated office spaces.

Although he himself would not live in these residences, he could easily allocate them to the company's senior management.

Furthermore, each building must be equipped with corresponding management personnel. Typically, these management personnel will choose to set up offices on the top floor to carry out their work.

As for the remaining space, it will naturally be rented out, which can be said to be killing two birds with one stone!

Huang Zhirou nodded seriously, indicating that she understood He Yuzhu's meaning, and quickly wrote down his instructions in detail.

Surprisingly, the new office was set up in just two days.

Therefore, He Yuzhu decisively moved out of his original office in the Yangtze River Industrial Building. From now on, he will start a new chapter in his work in the Sai Wan Ho area!

He had no intention of renting out the space that had been vacant before.

Sure enough, various lathes and equipment are being moved over one after another. According to his plan, he will gradually expand the production scale and eventually transform all the buildings in this area into a large-scale machinery factory.

He Yuzhu had just settled down at his new desk when he suddenly heard a soft knock on the door.

"Please come in!"

As he finished speaking, Liao Lieying walked in with a smile on her face, holding a rather long and narrow, exquisite gift box in her hands.

Immediately, a joyful smile spread across He Yuzhu's face, and he said:

"Is this a gift for me?"

Liao Lieying smiled and nodded, then carefully placed the exquisite gift box in front of He Yuzhu and said softly:

"Hurry up and open it to see if it suits your taste!"

Upon hearing this, He Yuzhu responded with great joy:

"I'll love anything you give me, no matter what it is!"

After saying that, he couldn't wait to open the gift box.

When the gift box was slowly opened, what was revealed was an item that made He Yuzhu freeze in shock—something he couldn't recognize at a glance.

Upon closer inspection, it can be seen that this is a small metal object, about 20 centimeters in length, with a relatively slender shape. A closer look reveals that it is actually a sculpture of an Egyptian pharaoh.

However, the sculpture has a rather peculiar shape; its upper body is relatively robust, while the middle and lower parts become noticeably thinner.

The entire sculpture is exquisitely crafted and meticulously detailed. From the pharaoh's facial expression to the texture of his clothing, everything is depicted with lifelike realism, making it a fine work of art.

Curious, He Yuzhu reached out and took the pharaoh sculpture out of the gift box, trying to stand it upright on the table. But surprisingly, the sculpture immediately tipped over as soon as it left his hand, unable to stand steadily at all.

Seeing this, He Yuzhu couldn't help but feel puzzled, and frowned as he asked:

"This ornament looks very beautiful, but why can't it stand up straight?"

At this moment, Liao Lieying, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but chuckle. She playfully asked in return:

"Who told you this must be a decorative piece?"
