Courtyard House: My Wife is Xu Huizhen

Finally, both cars came to a smooth stop on the side of the road.

After getting out of the car, He Yuzhu went straight to Huo Yingdong's car, opened the door, and got in.

As soon as he sat down, Huo Yingdong couldn't wait to ask:

"Mr. He, is there an important mission you have brought here today?"

Faced with the other party's eager inquiry, He Yuzhu first nodded slightly, then gently shook his head and said slowly:

"My task... actually has little to do with you."

Upon hearing this, Huo Yingdong's face showed obvious surprise, and he asked, "It has absolutely nothing to do with me?"

"Yes, I just want to do some business honestly, that's all." Huo Yingdong suddenly realized that he had made a big blunder.

In his original idea, how could someone who came all the way from the capital bring such a huge amount of money to open a machinery factory?

Logically, this should be at the behest of the state, aimed at promoting its rapid development and expansion.

Previously, he had mistakenly believed that He Yuzhu had established contact with him through Li Ka-shing, but that was not the case at all; it turned out that it was all just a coincidence.

Perhaps the mission the other party is carrying has absolutely nothing to do with him! Therefore, Huo Yingdong quickly said:

"If you need any assistance in your business, please feel free to tell me."

At this moment, He Yuzhu pondered for a moment and then asked:

"In your opinion, is it possible for me to join the board of directors of Liu Chong Hing Bank if I intend to do so?"

In fact, deep down, He Yuzhu longed for a legitimate and influential identity, and becoming a member of the board of directors of a bank was undoubtedly a very convincing choice.

Moreover, to grow and strengthen a business, it is essential to have the strong support of a powerful bank.

Now that we have met Mr. Liao Baoshan, joining him seems like a viable option.

After all, for He Yuzhu, who was new to the business world, even though he had plenty of funds, he was still weak in terms of influence and connections.

Just now, despite a hint of curiosity, I refrained from asking too many questions.

Only at this moment did the topic turn to Mr. Fok Ying-tung.

"It might be a bit difficult for you to become a director of our company! Our bank is currently in a period of rapid and vigorous development."

However, I can try to find out if any other directors are willing to sell their shares.

Huo Yingdong said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, He Yuzhu nodded slightly in understanding and replied:

"Actually, I was just mentioning it casually. If it doesn't work out in the end, it's not a big deal."

And so, the two chatted happily for quite a while.

Although He Yuzhu did not come to see him with a specific mission or task, the other party still showed great enthusiasm and friendliness.

After saying goodbye, He Yuzhu turned and walked towards his office building. As soon as he entered the building, he went straight to one of the warehouses.

It turns out that before this, he had already taken out some equipment such as lathes from the mysterious space, but these were only a small part.

At this moment, He Yuzhu finally decided to take out all the remaining hundreds of lathes and place them here.

The next morning, sunlight filtered through the thin clouds, falling softly onto the earth. He Yuzhu, full of energy, visited the Yangtze River Industrial Building again.

He first paid a full year's rent without hesitation, and then began to organize and arrange the hiring of transport vehicles in an orderly manner, preparing to transport those precious lathes to the designated location.

When Li Ka-shing finally had some free time, after in-depth discussions and negotiations, the two sides successfully finalized the matter of entrusting his team to build a magnificent industrial building.

First, He Yuzhu did not hesitate to pay a full 100,000 yuan in cash in advance as start-up capital to show his sincerity.

Once the land ownership is clearly confirmed, he will pay the corresponding land price as agreed.

In addition, as the project progresses, there will be multiple phased funding payments to ensure the project can move forward in an orderly manner.

During this period, He Yuzhu did not stand still, as he was well aware of the importance of a diversified layout.

So he immediately went to Liao Chuangxing Bank to open a special account and generously deposited a huge sum of cash, amounting to one million yuan, in one go.

The decision to entrust Cheung Kong Holdings with the construction of the building this time was a full delegation model, meaning that Cheung Kong Holdings would take the lead and control over all aspects from the acquisition of the land to the completion of the entire building.

However, He Yuzhu did not rely excessively on Cheung Kong Holdings for this decision.

He was well-versed in the art of planning ahead, and immediately instructed his trusted confidant Du Guanghe to carefully deploy his subordinates to simultaneously launch another important operation—purchasing real estate.

Their focus extends beyond the bustling Wan Chai and the busy Causeway Bay, reaching even North Point and the more remote Chai Wan area.

Whenever he hears of someone selling property or land, regardless of size, He Yuzhu shows great interest and expresses his willingness to acquire it.

Moreover, he does not expect to purchase scattered small plots of land, but rather large areas of land that can be connected together, so as to build industrial buildings or create high-quality residential communities.

After all, this is a long-term strategic plan, and He Yuzhu has plenty of funds at the moment. His only idea is to convert as much cash as possible into land assets with appreciation potential.

He Yuzhu has been having a smooth run of success lately, with the lathe training course he is in charge of achieving remarkable results.

After a full month of intensive and fulfilling learning, the 60 trainees are now able to skillfully produce and process some relatively simple parts.

He Yuzhu carefully selected five outstanding trainees from among them and appointed them as instructors for the second training course.

With the successful completion of the first training session, the enrollment for the second training session was quickly launched.

This time, it attracted as many as 300 students to sign up, and they were eventually divided into 5 classes based on the actual situation.

Since most of the content taught falls under the category of basic knowledge, newly appointed teachers only need to read from the textbook and explain the key points to the students clearly and concisely.

The remaining 50-plus students who were unable to become teachers were all assigned to factory workshops, officially embarking on their journey of producing small hardware products.

At this point, He Yuzhu had finally completed this series of complicated and important tasks and could breathe a sigh of relief for the time being.

However, when he dragged his slightly tired body home, he was stunned by what he saw – his two sisters were arguing heatedly, their faces red and the atmosphere extremely tense.

Seeing this, He Yuzhu quickly asked:

"What on earth happened? Why are you arguing like this?!"

At that moment, as soon as Du Weixiang saw He Yuzhu walk into the house, all the grievances in her heart poured out like a burst dam. She snorted coldly, and tears rolled down her cheeks uncontrollably.

It turns out that the reason for this heated argument was that my younger sister, Du Weifang, had successfully broken through and entered a state of enlightenment today.

He Yuzhu was well aware of this matter, because it was only under his personal supervision that Du Weifang was able to enter this new realm so smoothly last night.

"Isn't this a good thing?" He Yuzhu asked with a puzzled look.

“That’s certainly a good thing! But the problem is the timing is wrong! He actually started more than a year ahead of schedule!” Du Weixiang said with a frown.

"What's wrong with me finishing ahead of schedule?" Du Weifang asked angrily.

"That's definitely not good! Have you two been secretly having an affair and getting engaged behind my back?"

Du Weixiang roared angrily. It turned out that ever since He Yuzhu started sharing a bed with Du Weixiang every night, he would sneak into Du Weixiang's boudoir like a cat stealing cream when it was quiet at night, and then practice that mysterious technique with her - the Dual Cultivation Technique.

In this way, He Yuzhu's cultivation progressed by leaps and bounds, reaching twice the speed of an ordinary person.

However, He Yuzhu carefully kept his affair with Du Weifang a secret from Du Weixiang and never revealed a word about it.

It was precisely because of these clandestine dealings that He Yuzhu reached the Transcendent Realm much earlier than expected, a full year earlier.

The meticulous Du Weixiang keenly sensed something amiss at this crucial juncture and concluded that He Yuzhu must have already taken his own sister as his concubine.

That's why the sisters had that fierce argument.

However, faced with her sister's questioning, Du Weifang, though guilty, stubbornly denied it, vehemently retorting:

"Sister, you're clearly making baseless accusations and slandering me. There's absolutely no truth to it!"

As she spoke, her eyes darted away unconsciously, clearly showing she felt guilty.

"If you hadn't been dual-cultivated by him, how could you have entered the Transcendent Realm so quickly?"

Upon hearing this, Du Weifang's face instantly turned bright red. She opened her mouth, but found that she couldn't come up with a convincing reason to refute the other party.

After a moment, she could only bite the bullet and retort, "If you can reach the Transcendent Realm, why can't I? I can do it just as well through my own hard work and talent!"

Looking at the stubborn Du Weifang in front of him, He Yuzhu couldn't help but feel a headache coming on.

He shook his head helplessly and said softly:

"Alright, alright, let's not talk about this anymore. You should go back to your room and rest."

As he spoke, he gently pushed Du Weifang toward her room.

After sending Du Weifang back to her room, He Yuzhu turned around and went back to the living room, where he saw Du Weixiang sitting on the sofa with an angry expression.

He quickly stepped forward, took Du Weixiang's hand, and gently comforted her:

"Honey, don't be angry. Getting angry is bad for your health, especially since you're pregnant now."

"What? I'm pregnant? How is that possible! I didn't even know myself, stop talking nonsense! You always try to make me happy with this kind of talk, but I won't fall for it!"

Du Weixiang stared wide-eyed at He Yuzhu with a look of suspicion, clearly clueless about his claim of pregnancy.

He Yuzhu smiled slightly and patiently explained:

“It’s true, baby. I only sensed it recently. You see, I have now successfully entered the Core Formation stage, my internal energy is flowing continuously, and my six senses have become extremely sharp. So I can easily sense whether someone is pregnant or not.”

At first, Du Weixiang was still skeptical, but when she thought of He Yuzhu's incredible ability to create an independent space, her doubts immediately lessened.

After all, if he can do something so miraculous, then it doesn't seem entirely impossible for him to realize whether he is pregnant.

"I'm pregnant so quickly? This all happened so suddenly..."
