Rebirth in 1985

Chapter 1 Buying a House ()

Before Hong Kong was returned to China, going to Hong Kong from China was considered going abroad. Yang Jianlong took Lu Shaohua and Chen Guobang through layers of inspections before passing through the border station. After a few minutes of driving, they entered Hong Kong. As soon as they entered Hong Kong, a car was waiting there. Yang Jianlong opened the door and asked Lu Shaohua and Chen Guobang to get in, while he sat in the passenger seat.

Lu Shaohua, who was sitting by the window, was also feeling very complicated. He didn't expect that he was in Shenzhen a few minutes ago, but now he suddenly came to Hong Kong. For him, who had never been abroad in his previous life, the meaning of going abroad is not just as simple as changing a place or a change of environment. Although he couldn't accept it in his heart, he was a reborn person after all. After more than 30 years in his previous life, his mentality and personality were much more stable than others, so it only took a little time for him to adjust.

Looking at the vehicles, tall buildings, and hurried pedestrians outside the car window, Lu Shaohua couldn't help but ask himself, "Is this a prosperous city?" But it was obviously a question that could not be answered.

Lu Shaohua always put aside the problems that he couldn't figure out and focused on watching Hong Kong in this era. In his previous life, he only had a partial understanding of Hong Kong from movies, and he didn't really understand it at all. But now it's different. He will live in Hong Kong for the next few years, so he needs to have a comprehensive understanding of the pace of life of Hong Kong people. When in Rome, do as the Romans do. Otherwise, it seems a bit off track.

If you want to understand the pace of life in a place, you must first start with the environment. Whether it is architecture, decoration, or people's dressing and clothing, these are all part of the culture, and you can also start from this aspect to get a superficial understanding.

……

Lu Shaohua didn't know how long the car had been driving, he only knew that the road sign on the side of the street said that it was Kowloon territory, and not long after, the car stopped at Villa 88 in a luxurious villa area. "Xiaohua, Brother Guobang, get off, we're home."

"Oh!" Lu Shaohua seemed to have not yet reacted to the change of environment. He stared at the luxurious villa in front of him curiously. After a long time, he spoke. "Haha, I didn't expect to live in such a luxurious villa."

"Hehe! This villa was just bought at the beginning of this year. If I hadn't started the fruit business with your family, I could have bought it too, hehe." Yang Jianlong seemed to be very pleased with Lu Shaohua's praise, but his face was full of gratitude at the end, and that was the truth. If he hadn't started the fruit export business with Lu Shaohua's family, he really couldn't afford such a luxurious villa, because a villa like this in Hong Kong would cost at least millions.

"Haha, let's make money together." Lu Shaohua didn't know what to say, so he could only plagiarize the phrase that Yang Jianlong often used.

"Hahaha!" Yang Jianlong didn't expect Lu Shaohua to steal his words, and he laughed so hard that he couldn't catch his breath. "Oh! My stomach hurts from laughing. I won't laugh anymore. Let's go in."

Yang Jianlong was the first to push open the redwood door. "Wife! I'm back."

"Hey! Here I come." A virtuous woman who looked to be in her thirties walked down from the second floor of Villa and nodded at Lu Shaohua and the others with a smile.

"Come on, wife, let me introduce you..."

……

After Lu Shaohua and Chen Guobang had lunch at Yang Jianlong's home, Lu Shaohua told Yang Jianlong that he wanted to go out for a walk. Originally, Yang Jianlong was going to go with Lu Shaohua and the others in person, but Lu Shaohua didn't want to trouble him anymore, so in the end he was led by his driver.

"Brother, what kind of house do you think we should look for?" Lu Shaohua, who was sitting in the back seat, pushed Chen Guobang, who was resting with his eyes closed.

"Hehe, you know me, brother. As long as I have a place to sleep and food to eat, the environment is not important to me." Chen Guobang seemed to be uninterested in finding any kind of house and still closed his eyes to rest.

"Oh my! You are such a jerk." Lu Shaohua obviously knew Chen Guobang very well, as if he had already guessed the answer. In fact, he already had a purpose in mind. He had never enjoyed living in a mansion in his previous life, and now that he was reborn in this life, he certainly wanted to experience the life of a rich man. "Driver, is there a relatively quiet villa not far from here?"

"Yes, it's nearby, but it's quite expensive!" The driver looked at the road with concern and answered with a serious expression.

"Okay! Let's go there and take a look first!"

……

"Sir! Are you going to buy a house?" As soon as Lu Shaohua and his friends walked into the sales office hall, a beautiful woman in uniform came up to them with a professional smile, but her eyes were looking at Chen Guobang, thinking that the three people who came in were Chen Guobang in charge.

Chen Guobang did not answer the sales lady. He turned his head with a cold expression and looked at Lu Shaohua. He pointed his finger at Lu Shaohua, indicating to the sales lady that Lu Shaohua was the leader among the three people.

As soon as Lu Shaohua entered the sales office hall, his eyes were fixed on the real estate model of the villa area placed in the center of the hall, and he paid no attention to the surrounding environment at all.

The sales lady was obviously surprised, thinking to herself, "You're so young and you're buying a house?" But the surprise was gone in a flash, and she smiled sweetly. "Sir! What kind of house do you want?"

Lu Shaohua finally came to his senses and took a closer look at the sales lady who made the sweet voice. She had a round face, fair skin with light makeup, two dimples when she smiled, a well-proportioned figure, and a D-cup breast. She was perfect. Lu Shaohua's eyes finally settled on the beautiful sales lady's chest, and he opened his eyes wide to look at her... (Male compatriots, don't get the wrong idea. She was looking at the badge on her chest. Don't think it was... Hehe.)

"Hello, Miss Tang. Do you have any quiet villas?" Lu Shaohua looked for a long time before he could see what was written on the name card. "Sales Manager of XX Company" and two lines below it were written, "Tang Tiantian." However, Lu Shaohua asked but secretly added in his heart: "The name is just like the person, sweet enough."

"Yes, yes, yes." Tang Tiantian said yes three times in a row before taking Lu Shaohua to the center of the hall to introduce the building. "The one at the back is close to the mountain, it's quieter, the actual area is larger, and the decoration is also... more comfortable to live in..."

Lu Shaohua listened with interest at first, but she got a little annoyed at the end, because the sales manager was so eloquent, and kept praising the good things here and there, without saying a single bad thing. Maybe some people who have never seen the world would agree to sell it without even looking at the property or bargaining after hearing what she said, but who is Lu Shaohua? A reborn person with more than 21 years of memory, who has been through the st century, it is not so easy for her to agree to buy it just by saying so. "Ms. Tang, can you take us to see the property first? We can decide whether to buy it after we see it."

"Oh! Okay!" Tang Tiantian was a little disappointed. She got the position of business manager entirely because of her eloquence. All the people who came to buy houses were dizzy with her eloquence and seemed very interested. But when she met Lu Shaohua this time, his expression was still so dull and it was impossible to tell whether he was interested or not.

"Oh! Let's go then."
