Siheyuan: Pioneer in anti-corruption, fighting against evil!

Since we have to combine, we have new ideas.

If we follow the classical layout completely, the area may not be enough.

“Therefore, we intend to use modern architecture as the keynote and incorporate the subtle light and shadow elements of Suzhou-style gardens, and this aspect requires further discussion.

“Okay, it’s good to have an idea.

Design is the key. As for construction, once the money is in place, someone will naturally do it, and speed can be guaranteed.

“He Yuzhu has some experience with the characteristic designs of later generations.

The design team lived in the hotel and booked a conference room as a temporary office, with all expenses borne by He Yuzhu.

Soon, they had a preliminary idea: due to limited space, they could not directly adopt Soviet-style architecture, but they had to retain its simplicity, lightness and hidden characteristics.

The fence is surrounded by white walls and gray tiles, divided according to the land area; the vegetation outside the fence is equally important and needs to be coordinated with the fence to form a landscape together.

The main building is a main building with two underground floors. The ground floor has a sunken courtyard and a large number of floor-to-ceiling windows.

Except for the structural part, other parts use floor-to-ceiling windows, which not only increase the lighting, but also ensure privacy due to the obstruction of walls and vegetation. There is no need to worry about privacy leakage due to transparent windows.

The main building is at an appropriate height, above the vegetation in front, and the top floor and terrace can be used as a viewing point, while the main building is located inside.

From the gate to the main building, multiple micro-landscapes are designed, with a different scene at every step, winding and meandering.

There are elements such as rockery, pavilions, pools, as well as functional buildings for daily use.

The main building has many rooms, enough for the family to live in, but also needs to accommodate guests.

After all, the main building is fully functional, but the family's space requires privacy.

It is a tradition of ancient buildings to be separated from visitors, and He Yuzhu hopes to preserve this concept.

In modern society, land resources are scarce, especially in cities, and Su-style gardens occupy a large area, so it is not easy to replicate them in Hong Kong Island.

Although He Yuzhu was capable of doing so, he did not think it was necessary. Did they really have to move to Suzhou or Hangzhou? The climate there was not suitable for them. The climate in the southern part of the mainland was significantly different from that in Hong Kong Island. The temperature in Hong Kong Island was above ten degrees in winter, and it did not feel damp and cold.

This is why He Yuzhu suddenly decided to buy a property in Hong Kong Island. He had thought about moving to the seaside, but considered that He Wencheng's family was still in Beijing.

Now that He Daqing is old, the winter in the capital is a challenge for him.

Once the Hong Kong Island branch building is completed, I can come here to work in the fall.

He Yuzhu was unable to take He Wencheng's feelings into consideration, after all, he had to take care of the elderly first.

In addition, he is also concerned about the next generation, where the air quality is deteriorating.

During the design phase, He Yuzhu also actively participated, occasionally proposing innovative ideas, which were further improved by professionals from the design institute.

First, they built a prototype, a useful approach that allows them to directly observe the effects of their design.

The model is made large to facilitate disassembly so that each part can be examined carefully.

Regarding furniture, He Yuzhu suggested designing some styles that are neither too retro nor too comfortable.

The design of this villa took a lot of time and also had to take into account the building regulations of Hong Kong Island. It took two months to complete, after all, it is relatively small in scale.

Next, we need to consider construction technology and material selection.

It is relatively easy to select high-quality materials for the main structure, but the scenery and decoration involve many materials.

He Yuzhu insists on using environmentally friendly materials. Although imports are still needed in the market, Hong Kong Island, as an international metropolis, has a wide range of material suppliers.

Hong Kong Island's design team was well aware of these details. They were amazed by Ho Yu-chu's novel design concept and were even more amazed after the model was shown to them.

This indicates that after the completion of this villa, it will be unique in Hong Kong Island.

Looking at the villa area halfway up the mountain, other buildings usually build the foundation first and then stack them up layer by layer. The appearance is acceptable, but when viewed from a high altitude, they appear messy.

People living in Mid-Levels seem to pursue a prominent status, but Boss He chooses to keep a low profile. This concept is completely different, making people feel that he is as introverted as a hermit.

Martial arts culture is prevalent in Hong Kong, where old men retire to the mountains and forests. Mr. Ho's behavior seems to confirm this tradition.

More importantly, Hong Kong people pay attention to feng shui and have a firm belief in mysterious things.

For example, starting from the gate, every step and every scene has its meaning, which is the uniqueness of classical architecture.

Even the windows are a scene. There is no need for too much decoration in the room, and the floor-to-ceiling windows can bring in countless natural scenery.

……

The construction of the villa started and the original building was demolished first.

At this time, He Yuzhu led the design team to Repulse Bay, which would become the main battlefield for Hong Kong Island design companies because they would build modern-style buildings here.

However, He Yuzhu did not choose the European style because he personally did not like it.

He prefers simplicity and modernity. This place is mainly used for leisure and entertainment, so simplicity and practicality are the primary considerations, even the interior decoration.

There is less vegetation here, and because the shallow bay is a popular place for tourists and swimming, families do not stay for long during the summer, so the design process was more simplified and the preliminary design was completed in less than a month.

The design team then split into two parts, each responsible for the construction of both sides, while He Yuzhu returned to Beijing.

Back home, He Yuzhu introduced the new home plan to his son He Wencheng and his wife.

He Wencheng agreed: "This is good, grandpa is really not suitable for Beijing's winter climate.

“You two are not young anymore, and although you look strong now, you do need proper maintenance.

"He Yuzhu added.

"What inconvenience do we have?" He Wencheng said nonchalantly, "The family has already hired a servant, so we don't need to worry about housework. It's just that we may not be able to eat the meals you cook in the future.

“But there are real problems with this environment.

Now that the economy is booming, people tend to pay more attention to economic growth rather than environmental protection.

I will discuss this issue with our director later.

"

“But it is estimated that there will be little effect, and it is difficult to stop the momentum of economic development.

"He Yuzhu was also very clear about this, and he suggested: "Therefore, I think it is not suitable for children to live in this environment.

Perhaps you could consider changing your work location?"

"Where should I be transferred to?" He Wencheng asked doubtfully, "If you want to be closer to you, the only option is probably the South.

“And the director will definitely not let him go easily.

Normally I can just wear a mask, but the children may not be able to adapt to going to Hong Kong Island and they don’t speak the language.

"

He Yuzhu sighed and continued, “Yes, after all, they still have to go to school, so communication is a problem.

I suggest you take a look. FAW has a civilian automobile joint venture in the south, and you can directly invest in the research and development of civilian vehicles.

"That won't do," He Wencheng shook his head firmly. "My armored vehicle research and development project has been ongoing. The model and layout have been determined. In the future, as the system is improved and the equipment is developed, I will need to continue to follow up.

He Yuzhu understood that even with a system, it would be impossible to master all areas.

His two sons do not have a system, so it is not easy for them to continue to deepen their professional fields. It can be said that they are successful in their careers.

He Wencheng specialized in armored vehicle research, and his models were adopted and continuously developed, making him an expert in this field.

The eldest son, He Wenxuan, has made rapid progress due to his long-term research on modern naval warfare. He often goes out for study and investigation, and even has the opportunity to visit internationally advanced warships. This is his career development path. In the future, he is very likely to command a large modern destroyer, even a 10,000-ton class destroyer.

“Remember to let the children wear masks at ordinary times,” He Yuzhu reminded, “and send them to Hong Kong Island during the holidays.

"Okay," He Wencheng nodded in agreement, "If the impact is too great, I will send them to my eldest brother. This may be the best solution.

He Yuzhu nodded in agreement. The environment at his eldest brother's place was also good, but the children's accents might change after they went there.

After the father and son reached an agreement, He Wenjia was next.

He Wenjia didn't care much about it. After all, the work location was not important to her. She just hoped that the plane would be built as soon as possible.

She often needs to travel on business, and owning a private jet will greatly reduce her burden and at least allow her to rest comfortably during her trip.

Now she understood why her father didn't like to manage too many affairs, because there were too many things to do, and even if he delegated authority, there were still many necessary responsibilities and affairs.

At dinner time, she went home and asked, "Grandpa, Dad, Mom, are you back?"

He Yuzhu replied: “Well, the design plan for our two villas over there has been finalized. After they are built, we will go there every autumn and come back in the spring.

The branch building has also started construction at an astonishingly fast pace. When the time comes, you can go there and work directly there.

Wen Li then asked, "Wen Jia, haven't you found a suitable one yet?"

Obviously, she was hinting at marriage.

He Wenjia rolled his eyes and replied, "How can I have so much time?"

"Why don't you have time?" Wen Li asked back, "Your father doesn't usually intervene in things, but didn't he ask you to let go?"

He Wenjia said helplessly: "It's not that easy. My dad just asked Aunt Lou to handle it. Other things are easy to deal with, but I still need to inspect the provincial branches regularly and can't just ignore them.

He Yuzhu was listening at the side, then he started laughing and said, "You, can't you use your brain?"

"Establish an inspection team and have them go to various places and pretend to be ordinary customers to eat at Sichuan restaurants. Wouldn't this allow you to better understand the real situation at the grassroots level?"

“Similar investigations can be carried out in other branches by analogy.

At that time, all the information will be summarized here with you, and other people will be sent to review any problematic areas. Finally, the evidence from both sides will be combined and handled directly.

"Can you really grasp the most realistic situation by running back and forth like this?"

He Wenjia looked at He Yuzhu resentfully and asked, "Dad, if you have a good idea, why didn't you tell me earlier?"

"This is to train you.

"He Yuzhu smiled and said, "Also, I want you to go out more often. Maybe you can meet your ideal husband!"

"What a pity!" He Wenjia said jokingly.

"Humph, Mom and Dad always bully me!" She started to act cute.

Wen Li tapped her head with her finger and urged, "You, hurry up and find a suitable person to marry!"

"You're so big already?" He Wenjia curled his lips, picked up the chopsticks and started eating in big mouthfuls to relieve his dissatisfaction.

However, when it comes to marriage, it's not that she doesn't have someone she likes.

In fact, she already had a lover named Han Chunming.

The two of them had known each other for a long time, but their relationship was not pleasant at first. However, with Han Chunming's frequent visits, their communication gradually increased.

At first, the two did not have any special feelings for each other, but He Wenjia deeply admired Han Chunming's persistence and hard work.

As for Han Chunming, he was looked down upon by his family and even Su Meng when he was collecting scrap.

After He Yuzhu's guidance, he realized that Su Meng might have misunderstood him.

Love can sometimes make people blind. Looking back on the past, Han Chunming realized that Su Meng never seemed to care about him.

On the contrary, He Wenjia never looked down on him.

Apart from some misunderstandings during their first visit, she would warmly entertain Han Chunming whenever He Yuzhu was not around, which led to a significant change in their relationship.

They were attracted to each other and gradually became closer, but Han Chunming was eight years older than He Wenjia, which made them a little worried.

Han Chunming expressed his willingness to marry into the family, but he needed to take care of his mother.

He didn't mind the other questions.

But He Wenjia couldn't find a suitable opportunity to mention this matter.

She was actually trying to divert her attention while eating with big mouthfuls of food.

She was worried about buying a property in ** as she might have to spend half of her time there every year in the future.

He Wenjia felt that she could not delay any longer, otherwise her relationship with Han Chunming might become difficult.

"Mom, actually I already have a partner!" She spoke incoherently with her mouth full of food.

"What are you talking about?" Wen Li rolled her eyes, "Swallow the food first.

Wen Li didn't hear clearly, but He Yuzhu heard it. He asked in surprise: "Do you have a partner?"

"Gurgle~" He Wenjia swallowed the food and nodded to confirm: "Yes.

He Qing asked curiously: "Who is it?"

He Wencheng also looked at his sister with concern. She was not a child anymore, and even though his father didn't ask about it, he still cared about her.

Since they have to talk about it, they might as well resolve it as soon as possible, otherwise their marriage may be delayed for a long time.

"It's Han Chunming!" He Wenjia replied.

"Hiss~" The family members all took a breath, and He Yuzhu raised his eyebrows, "Doesn't he like that Su Meng?"

“That’s all in the past now, we’ve been together for almost two years.

"He Wenjia explained," But he is eight years older than me, and I was afraid you would disagree, so I never dared to mention it.

He Yuzhu looked at his daughter, speechless: "Do you remember that he is eight years older than you?"

"Dad~ Chunming is willing to marry into our family!" Wenjia said quickly.

"Huh?" Yu Zhu was stunned for a moment. This news was a good sign. If the man was willing to marry into the family, it was not completely impossible to consider it! "Don't you admire him very much?" Wen Jia asked with a smile.

Yuzhu shook his head and said, "Appreciation is one thing, but marrying my daughter is another.

Let him come over tomorrow. I want to ask him his true feelings in person.

"Dad, didn't you say you wouldn't interfere in my marriage?" Wen Jia became anxious.
