My happy life in a courtyard house with triplets.

Chapter 480: Preparing to Open a Film Company

Chiu Shu-chen's mother seemed somewhat incredulous, looking at her daughter and saying, "My daughter, it's all my fault for dragging you down. If you really have a good match, I think this young man who just came here is quite nice."

Upon hearing her mother's words, Chingmy Yau was so embarrassed that she didn't know how to respond. She stood up and said, "Mom, you lie here for now. I'll go buy you something to eat."

Just before Zhang Lei left, he had his bodyguard give Qiu Shuzhen five thousand dollars.

Chingmy Yau ran outside, holding money in one hand and a phone number in the other, and couldn't help but think: Could he really be interested in me? Perhaps following him would indeed be a good thing for me.

Chingmy Yau thought to herself: "Chingmy Yau, what are you thinking? Such a big boss, how could he possibly be interested in you? There are so many beautiful girls out there, don't you know what you look like?"

But Chingmy Yau couldn't resist finding a reflective spot and looking at her reflection.

Meanwhile, Zhang Lei, sitting in the car, recounted all the celebrities, directors, composers, and so on he knew from his past life, and asked Zhang Zhiqiang to arrange for someone to find them.

After all, Zhang Lei knew that many people who would later become famous were still unknown, or hadn't been discovered by talent scouts. He needed to find them quickly, especially since Hong Kong still had giants like Golden Harvest and Shaw Brothers, and his own film company had only been mentioned briefly and hadn't even started yet; he figured many people wouldn't approve.

After carefully noting down everything, Zhang Zhiqiang began assigning tasks to people to carry out immediately. Zhang Lei genuinely admired this decisive and efficient work style.

Zhang Lei suddenly thought of another question and asked Zhang Zhiqiang, "How's the real estate industry doing right now?"

Zhang Zhiqiang looked at Zhang Lei and said, "Boss, the real estate industry is currently in a downturn; there are almost no people optimistic about it."

Zhang Lei shook his head and said, "Almost none, but there are some."

Zhang Lei remembered a man surnamed Li who had made his fortune in this way, so he said, "Buy me a lot of land. Don't worry about the money; buy as much as you can. You'll need it whether you're opening factories or developing real estate. I'll give you another 10 billion US dollars; go for it!"

Zhang Zhiqiang nodded in agreement.

Zhang Lei continued sitting in the car, looking at the scenery outside. But the more he looked, the more he frowned. Despite Hong Kong's glamorous exterior, many places were still dirty and chaotic. The streets were filled with young, blond-haired punks and delinquent girls loitering about.

Zhang Lei suddenly thought of an important question and quickly asked, "Zhang Zhiqiang, where will the children go to school in the future? Where is the safest place? I don't want my children to become these kinds of hooligans who loiter on the streets every day."

Zhang Zhiqiang replied, "Boss, don't worry. The young masters will be enrolled in the Central and Western District from now on. That area has the best and safest schools in Hong Kong, so the situation you're worried about won't happen."

Zhang Lei nodded and then asked, "Are the schools there very expensive?"

Zhang Zhiqiang nodded: "The most expensive is also the best."

Zhang Lei recalled a famous saying from his past life: "Do you love him? Then bring him here; this is a paradise for the rich. Do you hate him? Then bring him here too; this is hell for the poor. This is how capitalist society is: if you have money, you're a superior person; if you don't have money, you live worse than a dog."

Zhang Lei knew this was the rule of survival here. He wasn't that noble; right now, he just wanted himself and his family to live well, and nothing else was his concern.

After watching for a while, Zhang Lei got really bored and said, "Let's go back."

Zhang Lei returned home and sat in the living room. A female robot was making him tea.

Soon, a group of people walked in through the door. Each robot carried large and small bags.

Zhang Lei greeted her with a smile, quickly took his daughter from her, and seeing her happy face, hugged and kissed her, saying, "Honey, did you have fun?"

Zhang Chengwan was so happy that she danced around and kept gesturing to indicate her name.

Ye Shuqin walked up to Zhang Lei and said in an annoyed tone, "Your daughter is such a troublemaker."

Zhang Lei quickly asked, "What happened to my daughter?"

Ye Shuqin looked at Zhang Lei and said, "Without you around, no one can control her. She almost demolished someone's shop."

Zhang Lei smiled indulgently and said, "If they've already torn it down, so be it. We can just pay them compensation."

Ye Shuqin looked at Zhang Lei with annoyance and said, "You just keep spoiling her."

Zhang Lei looked at Ye Shuqin and said, "You, as a mother, are already jealous of your own daughter, who's so young?"

After saying that, Zhang Lei hugged his daughter and lowered his head. Overjoyed, Zhang Chengwan bumped her forehead against Zhang Lei's.

Zhang Lei felt a lump on his forehead, so he quickly put his daughter on the ground and let her crawl on her own.

Looking at what everyone had bought, Zhang Lei smiled and said, "How about it? Isn't Hong Kong incredibly prosperous? Let me see what you all bought."

Soon, everyone took out the clothes they had bought one by one.

Suddenly, several pieces of very little fabric peeked out from Ye Shuqin's bag. Ye Shuqin quickly put the items back into the bag.

Zhang Lei asked with a smile, "Wife, what's that?"

Ye Shuqin blushed and said, "It's nothing."

Zhang Lei said with a smile, "Let me see."

Ye Shuqin whispered in Zhang Lei's ear, "I'll wear it for you tonight."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Lei was immediately thrilled.

At this moment, Zhang Lei placed the 15 sets of jewelry he had bought in front of everyone. Everyone looked at the jewelry with great joy.

He Yushui held up the jewelry in front of her, smiled, and looked at Zhang Lei, saying, "Honey, isn't it beautiful?"

Zhang Lei nodded and said, "She looks good. My wife looks good in anything."

Zhang Lei then saw his sons dressed in little suits and bow ties, and to be honest, they actually looked quite handsome in them.

After a day of shopping, Zhang Lei looked at all his women, who were still full of energy, and couldn't help but sigh, "Women are truly amazing creatures."

Soon it was time for dinner. Zhang Lei sat at the front of the long table, watching everyone eat and chat.

"Today you've seen how prosperous Hong Kong is. You can tell me what your plans are for the future. I won't force you. Whether you want to stay at home as a rich housewife or go out to start your own business, I'll support you. Of course, don't be afraid if you don't know how. Just dare to dream. If you don't know how, I'll find someone to teach you."

Everyone was eager to try it after hearing this.

At this moment, Ding Qiunan spoke up, "Honey, I still want to be a doctor."

Zhang Lei thought for a moment and said, "Okay, since you want to be a doctor, let's open a private hospital."

Everyone was stunned when they heard this.

Ding Qiunan quickly waved her hand: "No, no, no, husband, I just want to be a doctor."

Zhang Lei smiled and said, "I know, don't be nervous, and don't think you're incapable. With your current medical skills, there aren't many people who can surpass you. Besides, we can run our own hospital without any restrictions. You can work if you want, or be the hospital director if you don't want to. Traditional Chinese medicine or Western medicine, it's up to you. And don't worry about the money at all."

After listening to Zhang Lei's words, Ding Qiunan remained silent for a moment before saying, "Honey, let me think about it and then I'll tell you."

Zhang Lei looked at the others: "Any other ideas?"

Lou Xiao'e and Chen Xueru discussed it for a while, and then Lou Xiao'e said, "Honey, Xueru and I want to open a garment factory."

Zhang Lei nodded: "Okay. I'll arrange for people to help you with buying land and building factories. Of course, you'll also need to be involved, familiarize yourselves with all the processes, and do a good job building your own brand."

He paused and then added, "We'll also find more designers and align more with international standards."

Lou Xiao'e and Chen Xueru were very excited to hear this.

The others were still a bit confused, but Zhang Lei said with a smile, "Let's eat first, and you can think about it slowly. Tell me whatever comes to mind. Don't worry about losing money; just consider it a learning experience."

Everyone had different thoughts during the meal, but they were all excited and eager to try it.

That evening, Zhang Lei went to Ye Shuqin's room. As soon as he entered, he saw the three sisters, Ye Shuqin, Ye Shuqi, and Ye Shuhua, and almost got a nosebleed.

He closed the door, and Ye Shuhua suddenly rushed out from behind, hugging Zhang Lei and saying with a smile, "Honey, no, I should call you darling. How about the three of us sisters put on a Victoria's Secret show for you?"

Zhang Lei nodded quickly, nodding like a woodpecker.

The three women kept changing outfits, much to Zhang Lei's delight. He secretly thought to himself, "Maybe one day I should have all my wives wear these kinds of clothes and give myself a group fashion show."

Thinking about it this way, Zhang Lei was overjoyed.
