The Grandmother in the Siheyuan

Chapter 387 Interior Decoration
Rosamund Kwan is here again.

His cousin told him on the phone that she was planning to buy a villa in the Asian Games Village. She said that if Jiang Ren didn't have a talent for business, the best way to accumulate wealth was to buy a house.

Rosamund Kwan loves investing in real estate. When she heard that her cousin wanted to buy a house, she immediately declared herself a professional and told her cousin to wait for her so they could go buy the house together. She had never experienced buying a house in mainland China before.

The next day, Rosamund Kwan flew to Beijing and, without even taking a break, immediately asked her cousin to take her to see the villas in the Asian Games Village.

When she saw which villa Liu Feifei had chosen, she exclaimed that her cousin's judgment was terrible, almost as good as her own. The villas here had a very good living environment, and she herself wanted to buy one.

Coincidentally, at that time, there were restrictions on the sale of houses to people from Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan in mainland China. Generally, only houses designated for export could be sold to them, and the villas in the Asian Games Village were precisely those designated for export.

So Rosamund Kwan gritted her teeth and prepared to buy a villa of about 400 square meters.

The reason she had to grit her teeth was because she also owned a house in Hong Kong and was still paying off a loan. Although her film salary wasn't low, she didn't have much savings. Taking out more than a million dollars at once was equivalent to a little over a million Hong Kong dollars.

So Rosamund Kwan was about to take out a bank loan, but Liu Feifei waved her hand dismissively: "Why take out a loan? It's too much trouble. I'll give you the amount you need."

"impossible."

Rosamund Kwan flatly refused her cousin's suggestion: "If it were a thousand or eight hundred dollars, I wouldn't mind if you gave it to me. But it's hundreds of thousands. Even close brothers should keep clear accounts, and the same goes for cousins."

Liu Feifei then changed her approach: "I'll lend you the money you need first, and you can pay me back when you have the money."

Rosamund Kwan readily accepted this explanation. Although he said he wanted to curry favor with his cousin and cousin-in-law, it was definitely not for such petty gain.

Decorating a house after purchase is another headache, as interior design is not very fashionable in mainland China right now.

Liu Feifei and Guan Zhilin were planning the interior design and decoration. Liu Hua could see the two sisters drawing here and there on the drawings every day.

"Why bother with all that trouble?" Liu Hua shook his head and said, "Find a good interior design firm and have them do the interior design for you."

"No, are there any interior design firms in Beijing?"

"If not in Beijing, then why not in Hong Kong?"

Rosamund Kwan suddenly realized: "That's right, cousin, don't worry, I'll fly back tomorrow and hire the best interior designer in Hong Kong for you. He can solve any problems that may arise."

"It'll probably cost quite a bit of money, won't it?"

Liu Hua said with a smile, "Does our family still have any worries about spending money? For us, problems that can be solved with money are no longer problems."

"Brother-in-law, that's such a powerful statement," Rosamund Kwan complimented. "I doubt even the wealthiest people in Hong Kong have your confidence."

Liu Hua said dismissively, "Many of the wealthy people in Hong Kong may be richer than me, but they are definitely not as powerful as I am. They are just safeguarding a fortune for the country and society. Once the situation turns sour or they make a mistake, their wealth will vanish in an instant."

“Aren’t you different?” Liu Hua said proudly, “I may not have a single penny, but with my extensive knowledge, I’m always a guest of honor wherever I go.”

Do you know why these wealthy people in Hong Kong like to do charity work or worship Buddha?

Rosamund Kwan shook her head, and Liu Hua explained, "Because these people who manipulate stocks, finance, and the real estate market are seizing wealth from society. They know that this method is wrong, so they want to seek a moment of peace in their hearts through charity or making offerings to Buddha."

"Isn't their wealth legitimate?"

“It’s legal, but unreasonable. They haven’t created any value for society, yet they’ve seized most of the wealth.” Liu Hua smiled. “Of course, my wealth also came from exploitation, but I’m creating value for society, so I’m slightly better off than them.”

Hong Kong people don't learn moral education or politics when they go to school, so how would they know these things? If this were in ancient times, it would be called the art of slaying dragons.

Rosamund Kwan tirelessly flew back to Hong Kong and used her connections in the entertainment industry to find a top-notch interior designer.

These top-tier figures usually only serve large families, how could a mere actress like her possibly know them? But she had already made a boast to her cousin-in-law, and it wouldn't be right not to complete the task.

Just when Rosamund Kwan was in a dilemma, someone appeared: Lau, the self-proclaimed financial prodigy and the "electric fan bull".

He has always enjoyed dating beautiful women in the entertainment circle, and this time he set his sights on Rosamund Kwan. When he learned that Rosamund Kwan was looking for a top interior designer, he contacted a designer he knew, thinking he could introduce him to Rosamund Kwan and try to win her favor.

Rosamund Kwan was very happy to have completed her cousin-in-law's task, but she was somewhat resistant to Lau's pursuit.

In another timeline, Rosamund Kwan also didn't accept Lau's advances, but Lau pursued her relentlessly and showered her with money, overwhelming her with his financial power.

Rosamund Kwan accepted Lau's offer and met with the designer. After explaining the situation, she said she was going to fly to the mainland to conduct an on-site inspection and listen to the employer's opinion.

The designer was a little reluctant to go, but Liu patted his chest and said, "Go ahead, I'll cover all the expenses, and I'll give you double the travel expenses."

Rosamund Kwan shook her head: "That's unnecessary. My cousin's family is also wealthy, and they wouldn't even consider this design fee."

For the sake of money, the designer arranged some work and then flew to the mainland with Rosamund Kwan.

Lau was very eager to be Rosamund Kwan's protector, but she refused. She felt that her cousin and cousin-in-law were respectable people, and if they saw her accepting the pursuit of a married man, they might be disgusted with her. She wouldn't risk losing more than she gained.

On the surface, Da Niu agreed not to go to the mainland, but secretly he bribed the designer to report his location in real time so that he could sneak over and give Rosamund Kwan a surprise. Perhaps he could win her heart in her heart.

No sooner had the designer and Rosamund Kwan arrived in Beijing than Liu Feifei arranged for the designer to stay in the executive suite of the Swissôtel Hong Kong Macau Centre, which had just opened last year.

The designer immediately contacted Lau by phone to report his location, and Lau took a plane to the mainland that same day.

Of course, we still don't know where Rosamund Kwan is staying, so we need to find out. When the time comes, we'll bring her flowers to surprise her and win her heart in one fell swoop.
