In that brief, fleeting glimpse, he saw a vast expanse of white skin. Before he could react, a piercing scream suddenly rang out.
At this point, He Yuzhu completely panicked. He didn't have time to tell whether it was Ruan Mi or Ruan Tao sitting on the toilet. He just kept backing away and, in his haste, closed the bathroom door behind him.
Chapter 541 Development Plan
After waiting for a full two minutes, Ruan Tao slowly walked out of the bathroom, her face flushed.
She lowered her head, her eyes flickering, seemingly somewhat embarrassed.
At this moment, He Yuzhu, who was sitting on the sofa, hurriedly spoke up:
"I...I didn't see anything!"
As he spoke, he unconsciously scratched his head, appearing somewhat flustered.
Then he quickly asked, "By the way, where did your sister go?"
Ruan Tao slightly raised her head and answered softly:
"She went to buy us morning tea."
After saying that, she couldn't help but ponder it to herself.
Recalling the scene in the bathroom just now, since she was sitting sideways, He Yuzhu probably only saw her thighs at most.
After all, his buttocks were completely covered by his shirt, so he shouldn't be able to see them.
Thinking about it this way, Ruan Tao breathed a slight sigh of relief, realizing that even the amount of skin exposed wasn't much more than when she was wearing a swimsuit.
Then, as if suddenly snapping out of her daze, Ruan Tao stared at He Yuzhu with her large, watery eyes and said coquettishly:
"You absolutely cannot tell anyone about what happened today, especially not my sister, understand?"
He Yuzhu nodded repeatedly and replied, "Okay, I understand!"
Then, as if he had just thought of something, he kindly reminded her, "But remember to close the bathroom door properly next time."
To his surprise, the moment these words left his mouth, Ruan Tao glared at him fiercely, muttering a complaint:
"Hmph, I just forgot you were sleeping here for a moment. Before, it was just the two of us sisters at home, and there was only this one bathroom. Sometimes, for convenience, I was too lazy to lock the door."
The morning sunlight streamed through the window, illuminating the entire room.
When Ruan Tao, the younger sister, learned that her older sister had gone out early to buy morning tea, she thought that her sister would be back soon anyway, so she didn't lock the door.
However, to her utter surprise, at that moment, a figure quietly walked in—it was He Yuzhu.
As soon as He Yuzhu entered the room, his gaze fell on the shy and charming Ruan Tao in front of him. Her cheeks were flushed, as tempting as a ripe apple.
He stepped forward without thinking, gently took her soft little hand in his, and smiled slightly, saying:
"I just happened to see it, so it's only natural."
Hearing this, Ruan Tao's face turned even redder. She lowered her head and replied in a voice barely audible:
"I...I haven't decided yet!"
Then, as if suddenly remembering something, she raised her head, her eyes revealing a hint of nervousness and shyness, and said to He Yuzhu in a slightly warning tone:
"Also, you absolutely cannot tell my sister that you like me."
Faced with Ruan Tao's warning, He Yuzhu was filled with doubt and couldn't help but ask, "Why?"
Seeing his persistent questioning, Ruan Tao seemed a little anxious, stamped her foot, and scolded him:
"Oh dear, I just can't say it!"
Just as He Yuzhu was about to press for more information, a door suddenly opened.
Hearing the sound, Ruan Tao was startled and quickly let go of He Yuzhu's hand, then hurried to greet her sister Ruan Mi, who was walking in through the door.
The two sisters chatted and laughed as they placed the breakfast they had bought on the table, and then sat down together to slowly enjoy the delicious breakfast.
During this time, He Yuzhu said, "I plan to go out for a walk today, so you can stay here and look after the shops."
Ruan Mi smiled and nodded in response:
"Okay, then you'd better be careful."
After the three finished their morning tea, He Yuzhu got up and left the shop, heading towards the dock warehouse.
Upon arriving at the dock warehouse, He Yuzhu first summoned Du Guanghe to his side and inquired in detail about recent matters related to the fleet's operations.
It is understood that initially they would send a batch of goods to the mainland every half month, but as their business continues to grow, the frequency of shipments has now increased.
What was sent was not just ordinary raw materials, but also advanced machinery and equipment carefully selected and provided by He Yuzhu.
Recently, the frequency of transport ships has changed from a relatively frequent interval to one ship every ten days.
As time went on, the variety of goods delivered became increasingly diverse.
These goods include not only various products manufactured in the park itself, but also exquisite finished products from all over the country.
After learning about the situation in detail, He Yuzhu warmly invited Du Guanghe to go downstairs together, and drove the car at high speed, eventually stopping next to a primary school.
The primary school is located in a relatively remote area. There are only a few houses on one side, and not many people live there. The rest of the area is occupied by vast farmlands.
"Why did you bring me to this place?" Du Guanghe asked, his face full of doubt.
He Yuzhu replied with a smile:
"Don't rush! Here's what I'm thinking: what if we buy this land, build some nice houses, and then sell them? What do you think?"
"Building commercial housing here?" Du Guanghe asked in surprise.
He Yuzhu nodded and said confidently, "That's right, it's right here. Look, there are less than ten households here, but the area is quite large. If planned properly, several spacious and comfortable houses could be built!"
Upon hearing this, Du Guanghe began to carefully observe the vast expanse of land before him. After a while, he spoke thoughtfully:
"Hmm... the demolition work itself should be relatively easy and smooth. However, the economic situation in Tuen Mun has never been good, and the residents are generally quite poor. Even if we manage to build the houses, whether we can successfully sell them is still uncertain!"
"Don't let the fact that this place looks poor now fool you; it's just because no one's developing it. It looks dilapidated everywhere, but once we start developing it and build industrial buildings, we'll definitely be able to keep those workers here!"
Furthermore, I'm also thinking of using my connections to see if I can secure the development rights for a highway from Tuen Mun to the bay. As the saying goes, 'To get rich, build roads first.'
If we really want to develop Tuen Mun properly, the first priority is to build a road connecting Tuen Mun and Tsuen Wan. Once the road is completed, and with the addition of residential and industrial buildings, workers will naturally be happy to settle here.
In this way, I can not only continue to develop the Tuen Mun area, but also extend the highway all the way to Yuen Long and develop that area as well.
After all, this is still rural land, and there's practically no competition with me. However, I'm not content with just developing this area.
Once I've accumulated enough experience, I'm going to expand into the area from Wan Chai to North Point! With my strength and methods, I'm absolutely confident I can hold my own.
Even if someone dares to object, it will be to no avail. By the way, Du Guanghe, the necessary permits for the industrial building behind the warehouse have all been completed, and they are currently preparing to attract investment.
"I've already started the process of having the relevant people register our own construction company! From now on, we can go all out and get things done!"
Moreover, there's more good news: Huo Yingdong has readily agreed to provide us with two experienced administrators.
In addition, I plan to ask the Liao family for more people. If we can get two more capable individuals, our core team will be basically complete.
As they talked, the two carefully observed their surroundings.
After a brief pause, He Yuzhu seemed to suddenly remember something important and continued:
"Oh, right! There's one more thing we need to get done quickly. Look, there's not even a decent villa to be found in Tuen Mun."
So, here's my idea—you quickly send some reliable people up the mountain to buy all the land where those shacks are built on the hillside. Then, we'll build several beautiful villas on those sites.
Back in the 50s, for various reasons, many ordinary people who were homeless and struggling to make ends meet flocked to this hillside and built numerous makeshift shacks here and there.
Even Jackie Chan's movies have featured similar scenes, which shows how tight people's lives were back then.
The mountain to the left of Tuen Mun is called Castle Peak. Although there are some open spaces on the hillside that are suitable for building houses, they are basically occupied by densely packed shantytowns.
However, He Yuzhu was not deterred by the difficulties at hand. He had already made up his mind to buy all these originally inconspicuous places and renovate them into an eye-catching luxury villa area.
Hearing this, Du Guanghe couldn't help but interject and ask:
"So, according to you, we currently have three main tasks ahead of us, right? The first is to build a modern industrial building in the dock area; the second is to develop a batch of commercial housing next to the primary school; and the last is to create a unique villa complex on this green hill?"
That's right, the key lies in these three aspects.
I've heard that there's a construction crew in Tuen Mun whose leader is called Brother Xiong. I wonder if you know anything about them?
Du Guanghe nodded quickly in response:
"I know, not only that, I've even had dinner with him! And the team he leads is also considered a gang."
"Oh? In your opinion, could we win him over?" He Yuzhu pressed.
Du Guanghe replied confidently, "That's not a problem at all. As long as I give them a little money, it should be fine."
Upon hearing this, He Yuzhu stopped asking questions.
After all, Du Guanghe had always been engaged in this kind of work, and could be considered his capable executor.
Immediately afterwards, He Yuzhu spoke:
"Once all the villas on the mountain are completed, I will give you one of them."
After thanking him with great joy, Du Guanghe immediately set off to find Xiong Ge.
He Yuzhu returned to his office at the dock and picked up the phone to make a call.
Time passed quietly, and in the blink of an eye it was already afternoon.
