Siheyuan: My wife is Xu Huizhen

However, fate is always full of wonders and coincidences. This time, he encountered a pair of twin sisters who looked exactly the same!

This instantly ignited the fire of curiosity deep in He Yuzhu's heart, and he had a strong desire to get to know them.

After thinking for a while, He Yuzhu said with a smile:

"Thank you so much, ladies. I am really thirsty right now."

In fact, my sister had just said a polite remark and had never expected that the man in front of her would agree so readily.

For a moment, she was a little flustered, but the words had already been spoken, and it seemed difficult to refuse at this time.

In desperation, the elder sister had to bite the bullet and responded:

"In that case, please follow us this way, sir."

After they finished speaking, the two sisters took light steps and walked side by side in front, leading He Yuzhu slowly forward.

Not far away, they turned into a small path and soon walked into a three-story building that looked a little old.

When He Yuzhu passed by the door, he inadvertently caught a glimpse of a note stuck on the wall, on which were clearly written the words "There is a unit on the third floor for rent" in large letters.

Then he followed closely behind her and went up the stairs.

This small building appears to have been privately built. There are only two elevators on each floor, one for each of the residents on both sides.

After everyone entered the building from the back, they climbed up the stairs and finally reached the third floor.

At this time, my sister walked lightly to the tightly closed door on the east side, stretched out her hand and gently pushed it open, while turning sideways and signaling:

"Sir, please come in."

He Yuzhu stepped into the house, and his feet were on a slightly rough cement floor that had not been paved with tiles.

This saves the tedious step of changing shoes when entering the house.

After walking through the door, the first thing that catches your eye is a small living room.

It is connected to a compact kitchen, a tiny bathroom and two bedrooms.

The living room looked quite messy. The sofa, which should have been tidy, was in poor condition. The leather on it was badly damaged in several places, and even the yellow sponge inside was exposed, as if telling the vicissitudes of time and the hardships of life.

Apart from this worn-out sofa, the rest of the furniture was equally old and worn.

They come in a variety of colors and styles, and are obviously pieced together after years of use.

Such furnishings make it clear at a glance that this family’s financial situation is not good and they live a very tight life.

My sister warmly invited He Yuzhu to sit down, and quickly poured him a glass of water, saying with a hint of apology on her face:

"Sir, I'm so sorry, we just ran out of tea at home."

He Yuzhu smiled and waved his hand to show that he didn't mind. He took the cup of water, took a sip, and then slowly put the cup down.

At this time, the two sisters were sitting at the other end of the sofa, looking a little nervous, as if they felt a little regretful for inviting this strange man into their home.

Perhaps to break the awkward atmosphere, my sister took the initiative to find a topic to talk about:

"Sir, you don't look like a native of Hong Kong?"

He Yuzhu nodded and replied:

"Yes, I haven't even been in Hong Kong for a year yet."

My sister suddenly realized and continued:

"No wonder your accent is a bit strange, sir."

He Yuzhu smiled and explained:

"Haha, because I'm from the north, many people will find it difficult to get used to my speech here." After saying that, he picked up the water glass and took a sip.

He Yuzhu said with a smile:

"My last name is He, and my given name is Yu, so my full name is He Yuzhu! I've been thinking about moving to a new place, so I'm looking for a house to move to.

I just took a look and the apartment on the third floor looked pretty good. Could it be that it was being rented out?"

At this time, the woman standing beside him said:

"Hello, my name is Ruan Mi, and this is my sister Ruan Tao. We are real twins."

After saying that, the two sisters looked at each other, and the elder sister Ruan Mi continued:

"Yes, the house next door is indeed for rent. Mr. He, are you interested in renting it?"

He Yuzhu nodded quickly and replied:

"Yeah, of course I do, but I don't know who the landlord of this house is?"

Ruan Mi replied with a smile:

"This entire building, including the shops downstairs, is owned by Sister Xia Yue. She usually lives on the second floor. How about I go upstairs and get the key for you?"

Then, Ruan Mi gave a brief introduction and told He Yuzhu that the landlord was named Liang Qiuyao, and that the two sisters were also tenants, paying HK$50 per month in rent.

And he emphasized that the area of ​​the house next door was roughly the same size as his own.

After explaining all this, Ruan Mi turned around and walked out the door to the second floor. At this time, only He Yuzhu and Ruan Tao were left in the room.

Seeing that the atmosphere was somewhat quiet, He Yuzhu took the initiative to talk and asked:

"Little girl, I feel like you don't usually like to talk much?"

He felt a little strange in his heart just now. During the whole conversation, his sister was talking nonstop, while Ruan Tao just sat there quietly without saying a word.

You know, Ruan Tao is usually a talkative person, but today she is so silent, which is really surprising.

It must be because He Yuzhu helped her find her lost wallet out of kindness, but he almost got beaten up instead, so Ruan Tao must have felt a little embarrassed.

"Oh, no, that's not the case. In fact, I talk a lot most of the time!" Ruan Tao hurriedly explained, with a slight blush on her face.

"Well, since we're neighbors in the future, we have to take care of each other." He Yuzhu said with a smile.

Hearing this, Ruan Tao nodded gently and responded softly, "Okay."

Then, He Yuzhu asked about the sisters' recent situation with concern.

It turns out that the sisters currently do not have a stable, formal job and are just making ends meet by doing odd jobs here and there.

As for what specific odd jobs they were doing, they had not had time to discuss in detail, and at this time Ruan Mi hurried back with the keys in hand.

Seeing this, He Yuzhu immediately stood up and walked towards the room to the west.

I saw that this house also had a two-bedroom layout. It was not only equipped with a separate bathroom and kitchen, but also had all the basic furniture in the house, which was fully capable of meeting the conditions for moving in with just a suitcase.

He Yuzhu looked around with great interest. After carefully examining every corner, he finally nodded with satisfaction and said firmly, "Okay, I'll rent this house!"

Ruan Mi said to He Yuzhu with a smile:

"Sister Xia Yue said that she will give you a whole day to move. When she is free, she will come to you to sign the contract."

He Yuzhu nodded after hearing this and answered readily: "Okay, no problem!"

After entering the house, He Yuzhu looked around and saw that although the house was equipped with some basic furniture, there were still many daily necessities that needed to be purchased.

Fortunately, he found that many items in the room were still intact, so he borrowed Ruan Mi's cleaning tools and prepared to clean and tidy up the house.

After a busy period, He Yuzhu finally cleaned the whole house spotlessly.

After cleaning up, he knocked gently on the neighbor's door, returned the broom he had just borrowed, and said enthusiastically:

"From now on, we are neighbors. I would like to invite you all to have lunch together. Is that convenient?"

Hearing this, Ruan Mi responded somewhat embarrassedly:

"Oh, this is so embarrassing. We haven't been able to help you much."

Seeing that the other party was reluctant, He Yuzhu stopped forcing them. He said goodbye to them with a smile, then turned and went downstairs.

Coming downstairs, He Yuzhu walked around with great interest.

As he walked, he was pleasantly surprised to find that the two houses downstairs were facing the street. It seemed that they were originally used as shops, but unfortunately they were currently rented out.

Thinking about how I took the small path at the back when I came in just now, it’s no wonder that I didn’t notice that there were shops here.

This street is very busy and prosperous, with a wide variety of shops selling everything you need. It is almost identical to the commercial streets commonly seen in ordinary residential areas.

He Yuzhu strolled slowly along the street, and finally returned to his newly rented house with two large shopping bags in his hands, feeling satisfied.

He carefully selected all kinds of exquisite daily necessities and began to decorate the room in an orderly manner.

The soft carpets, warm lights and colorful curtains, every detail was carefully crafted by him.

In a short while, the originally deserted house suddenly became full of vitality and transformed into a comfortable nest full of warmth.

Looking at this cozy corner he had created with his own hands, he nodded contentedly, then clapped his hands lightly, turned around, locked the door, and walked downstairs with brisk steps.

When he returned to his company in Sheung Wan, Huang Zhirou happened to walk into the office with a cup of steaming hot tea.

She asked with a hint of confusion: "Why did you take so long? Where did you have lunch?"

He Yuzhu smiled slightly and replied casually:

"There's something urgent that needs to be dealt with over there, but don't worry, I've already had lunch."

Then, he changed the subject and asked about the business situation, "How are our watch sales going?"

Huang Zhirou frowned slightly and said helplessly:

“Currently, only a small number of merchants have come to pick up the goods, and the overall sales volume is less than a thousand.”

Hearing this number, He Yuzhu pondered for a moment and nodded, expressing his understanding:

"After all, everything is difficult at the beginning. It's already quite good to have such results." As he said that, he reached out and took the sales report handed over by Huang Zhirou and looked at it carefully.

The report clearly recorded the specific sales quantity - 820 yuan.

Although there is still some distance from the expected target, it is indeed a good start for a business that has just started.

Moreover, most of these customers are small local retailers, and the business of shipping goods overseas has not yet been involved.

You know, in Hong Kong, most businesses are based on re-export trade. Whenever new goods arrive, the first thing they do is to ask their partners one by one whether they have demand, and only after receiving a positive reply will they place an order to take the goods.

The next morning, the sun shone through the thin clouds and fell on the earth. He Yuzhu got up early and went to the dock, and at this time, Du Guanghe had been waiting there for a long time.

After seeing He Yuzhu, Du Guanghe asked with a puzzled look on his face:

"Brother Zhuzi, what's going on? Why did we suddenly change the pier? Didn't our cargo ship always stay at North Point Pier in the past? When I went there this time, I was told that I had to go back to Tuen Mun!"

He Yuzhu smiled and explained:

"Well, I just bought an office building and a warehouse here, and I'm thinking of using this place as my shipping base in the future."

He paused for a moment and then added:

"And as you know, this place is relatively remote. We should try to keep a low profile on our business."

Du Guanghe nodded thoughtfully in agreement.

After all, although they were doing legitimate business before, they need to act cautiously and keep a low profile if they want to do long-term business with the mainland in the future.

At that time, Tuen Mun was just a remote and desolate rural area and had not been developed at all.

The two men stood on the dock, looking at the cargo ship that was busy loading cargo, and Du Guanghe mentioned the business situation of this trip.

After listening carefully, He Yuzhu thought for a while and said:

"By the way, the factory has recently produced a new batch of watches, and the quality is pretty good. Try to find a way to ship them to Southeast Asia and sell them. There are only so many people in Hong Kong, and the number that can be sold is really limited. If you really want to make a lot of money, you have to rely on re-export trade."

In the vast Southeast Asia, there are many countries and regions, including some countries with a large population of over 100 million.

Although the economy in most places here is relatively backward, there is still a broad market demand for daily necessities such as watches.

"No problem, I'll take care of it!"

He confidently agreed. The cargo ships at that time were very different from modern advanced container ships, and the traditional bulk storage model was still widely used.

Because of this, the dock was crowded with workers busy loading and unloading goods.

They either carried the goods on their shoulders or in their hands, or used simple mechanical tools to load or unload all kinds of goods in an orderly manner. In the office building standing on the shore, two people were standing in front of the window, quietly watching the busy work scene on the dock.
