Courtyard House: My Time Travel is a Bit Too Strong

Lin Quan turned around and started the class, teaching Qin Jingru and the others the movements step by step.

"Jessica, raise your thighs another half an inch."

"Jin Huimin, tighten your waist and abdomen, don't slack off."

"Sister Qin, make smaller movements and keep your balance."

He practiced for more than two hours in the morning light, then sat cross-legged on the ground again, focusing his breathing.

This time, my heart was as calm as still water, my body as light as a feather, and my consciousness quietly slipped into a state of tranquility.

More than an hour later, when I finished my practice and opened my eyes, the world seemed to have been polished to a new level of brightness—

The shadows of the trees are more distinct, the birdsong is clearer, and when your fingertips brush across the leather surface of the sofa, even the finest details of the texture are revealed.

He chuckled silently, glanced at the wall clock, lazily slumped into the sofa, and turned on the TV.

"Honey, in a few days I'll be flying to the US for a concert." Jessica leaned closer, her hair still smelling of shampoo.

"Hmm," he replied. Surrounded by five beautiful women, with clothes taken care of and meals served, his life was as comfortable as a well-sun-dried quilt.

"Ah Quan, I have to go to work this afternoon." Qin Huairu picked up her bag.

"Why bother going to work? Isn't it better to practice at home?" he joked with a smile.

"At my age, my muscles and bones are stiff, and I can't handle those positions anymore." She shook her head.

"Can't bend it? Try bending it a few more times, and the bones will listen to you." He smiled mischievously.

After lunch, Qin Jingru, Qin Huairu, Jessica, Jin Huimin, and Yamada Keiko went out together.

Lin Quan, left alone at home, silently opened the ancient books of the earth—official history was upright, and unofficial history was vivid.

The discovery of the "Dragon Elephant Prajna Gong" and "Supreme Yoga Gong" in Zhen Kang's tomb gave him a sudden surge of confidence in his archaeological work.

The former drained the brute force from his bones and muscles to its limit, while the latter gradually polished his eyes, ears, skin, nose, and tongue.

When meditation can no longer stimulate the senses in the slightest, new methods will need to be put on the agenda.

At 4:30 p.m., he drove himself to Catholic Shangde Secondary School.

The security company provided a car for pick-up and drop-off, but he had long harbored feelings for that girl Zhao Ya.

Once the prey is in sight, how can one allow someone else to take it from the plate? He can hold a grudge for ten years if he misses once.

That morning, he also took a stroll around the newly completed vault and nodded slightly.

The underground chamber, fifty meters long and twenty meters wide, is divided into four independent storage areas, neat and tidy.

Three days later, he traveled between the two worlds and brought back hundreds of tons of gold and tens of tons of pearls and jade ornaments from Earth's old treasures.

"It's completely empty, like a granary that's only half full of rice."

He made a phone call, and Yaoyang Transportation Company's fleet immediately set off.

Security personnel escorted the shipment throughout the entire process, and boxes of Singapore dollars, collected from several foreign banks, were safely stored in the warehouse.

"Two billion Star Coins are piled up in front of me, so green it's blinding."

He had handled countless banknotes printed with stars, they had been stained with sweat, dust, and even life itself—but he had no interest in lying on them and rolling around.

Star Kingdom is undoubtedly the number one superpower on Earth, and its Star Currency firmly holds the throne of the world's hard currency, with an exchange rate as solid as a rock.

The Hong Kong dollar continues to weaken, so even if only a few billion is left, it would be more than enough.

"The treasury holds two billion Singapore dollars, the bank accounts hold more than two billion Hong Kong dollars, and the investment company still holds more than six hundred million Hong Kong dollars."

Under his personal leadership, Yaoyang Investment Company has consistently made a profit, and its current balance sheet has grown to over 600 million Hong Kong dollars.

"The school isn't even in sight yet, let's secure a thousand acres of land first."

Scanning the bustling construction sites, Lin Quan took out his phone and made several calls in a row.

They spent a fortune to acquire a thousand-acre plot of land and entrusted Yaoyang Construction Company with the entire project, building a kindergarten, a primary school, and a junior high school in one go.

Remembering that the annual celebration needed a decent venue, he casually bought another 1,500 acres of land.

"Build a gymnasium – enough for a New Year's celebration, and also enough for employees to play football, sports, and stretch their muscles on other days."

Both the construction of the school and the museum were left to Yaoyang Construction Company to handle.

Yaoyang Electronics Factory, Yaoyang Machinery Factory, Yaoyang Trading Company... even Yaoyang Jewelry Company is experiencing a surge in orders every day, with cash flow pouring in. After a moment's thought, Lin Quan decided to simply establish a new Yaoyang Real Estate Company.

Construction companies specialize in building houses, while real estate companies specialize in acquiring, managing, and operating properties.

A bronze mirror can correct one's appearance, and history can serve as a mirror to understand the rise and fall of dynasties.

Comparing the situation to that on the other side of the world, he was convinced that Hong Kong's rental market had great potential.

Establish a real estate company and stockpile more high-quality properties as a long-term strategy.

"The people on the other side are more reliable; let's recruit another five hundred capable people."

After hanging up Wang Yaoxin's call, Lin Quan returned to the Shanshuiwan Villa and immersed himself in meditation.

"Is it truly only when the mind is free of distractions and the body is unburdened that one can enter into meditation?"

After struggling for nearly an hour without finding a way in, he glanced at his watch, gave up the idea, and drove off.

He had a casual dinner with Qin Jingru and Zhao Ya, and afterwards he slowly drove back to Shanshui Bay.

"Didn't Sister Qin come to work overtime tonight?"

Lin Quan felt a slight emptiness when Qin Jingru was not seen in the living room.

He would swim, take a bath, and practice martial arts until his body was relaxed and his mind was at peace before strolling into the living room and sitting cross-legged.

I managed to stay awake for over an hour, but my meditation session was abruptly cut off.

He lay back on that wide, thick, and soft bed, a smile playing on his lips, and drifted off to sleep.

After finishing my morning exercise, I tried meditation one more time, and then strolled out for a leisurely walk.

He never showed up at the horse racing events that Hong Kong's tycoons were so enthusiastic about; he was even more indifferent to the territorial divisions spearheaded by Lei Biao.

We went to Yaoyang Bank and chatted with He Yuzhu over tea; at lunch, we talked with Uncle San and Uncle Yi for more than half an hour.

Yan Bugui and the Third Uncle's accounting skills were truly exceptional.

They could spot any flaw in the ledger at a glance.

With the Yan couple keeping a tight rein on finances, Lin Quan naturally slept soundly.

Their sons, Yan Jiefang and Yan Jiekuang, are both outstanding individuals, one working as an accountant in an electronics factory and the other managing money in a trading company. They were both trained by their parents.

Lin Quan didn't treat them badly either; both of them received a base salary of two thousand Hong Kong dollars, without any reduction.

As for Yan Jiecheng and Yu Li in the capital, he always kept his distance.

Talent without virtue will inevitably lead to disaster; virtue without talent will inevitably result in mistakes; only those who possess both virtue and talent are capable of undertaking great responsibilities.

Lin Quan would rather go slower and be more steady than allow his subordinates to break the rules or ruin the situation.

Yan Jiecheng and Yu Li, who are adept at scheming and ruthless, might secretly embezzle funds and line their own pockets if they were to fall into his hands.

Lin Quan took a stroll to the entertainment company, but didn't find any promising talents that suited his taste.

"Zhao Ya is eighteen this year, and we'll welcome her into our family next year."

He firmly believed that the greater one's abilities, the heavier the burden.

As a martial artist with a solid foundation, he should shoulder more responsibility.

To put it bluntly, he has quite an appetite.

Back in Shanshui Bay, Lin Quan dived into the replica Earth and casually picked up a few exquisitely crafted Patek Philippe watches.

Keiko Yamada and Hye-min Kim have been following him around, but they haven't received a decent thank-you gift yet.

They can replicate mountains of good stuff from Earth, without spending a penny, and take as much as they want.
