Chapter 238 I want to buy land and build a Suzhou garden-style house for my father
As soon as Huo Jinran heard the news that Fu Ziyan would not attend the Insurance Association dinner, he understood what she meant and couldn't help but smile bitterly.
Why can Lu Yan do it but he can't?
But it was only a moment of distraction. Life is ever-changing. Perhaps in two years, she might be able to accept his pursuit.
Ji Shihe, whose information channels were slower than Huo Jinran, couldn't help but feel regretful when he learned that Miss Fu would not attend the banquet.
He and Miss Fu had little contact, and their biggest interaction recently was about the insurance company. It was a rare dinner related to the insurance company, but he didn't expect that he would not have the chance to meet Miss Fu this time.

"Miss, this is the latest revision plan from the Fu Design Department for the Dream Theme Park design."
Fu Ziyan didn't care what others thought of her absence from the banquet. She took the document from Meng Tiao and looked through it carefully. This was the paradise she had spent a huge amount of money to buy land and build, so she couldn't help but pay attention to it.
"According to your idea, the main road will be expanded to accommodate the large number of tourists watching during the anime character parade."
Fairytale castle, adventure town, psychedelic forest, magical kingdom...
Fu Ziyan flipped through them one by one, feeling quite satisfied. This was the first dream world she created for the children of Hong Kong. She hoped it would bring them happiness and become a childhood memory that could heal them for a lifetime.
"This blueprint can be finalized. How is the construction site going?"
"We have completed one-third of the progress."
"When I'm free, let's go to the construction site."
She had anticipated this question, and as expected, Meng Tiao was confident in her response. "Mr. Xiao Yu and Mr. Pan from Zefeier have lunch with you tomorrow at noon, so your afternoon schedule is on hold. You don't have any plans the morning after tomorrow, but you will attend the Bank of SinoPac's board meeting that afternoon. Both days are auspicious for travel."
Zefir is developing rapidly. Originally, the production of its garment factories in Hong Kong was insufficient. As the "clothing king" of Hong Kong and even Southeast Asia, the Yu family has sold ready-made clothes to Britain and the United States for many years, and has also obtained the agency rights of many world-famous clothing brands. In addition, with Fu Ziyan's relationship with the Yu family, Zefir's clothing manufacturers naturally give priority to the Yu family.
Tomorrow's lunch will be a meeting between Fu Ziyan, as a shareholder of Zefer and the middleman of this OEM cooperation, and both parties to discuss matters.
Fu Ziyan signed her name with powerful handwriting at the end of the document and said calmly, "I understand. You can take these documents with you. Then, organize the relevant documents that Yuxiang Garment Company handed over to us and give me the sales data of Zefeier in the past two years."
"Okay, Miss."
Meng Tiao picked up the documents and was about to turn around and leave when Fu Ziyan suddenly remembered what she had promised Xiaozi and called her, "Oh, by the way, send someone to PolyGram Records to ask for an autographed photo of Sam Hui and send it to Fu Zizi at Uncle Wu's house."
"Ok."
A few minutes later, there was another knock on the office door and it was Guan Zaizhou who came in.
Fu Ziyan looked up and asked doubtfully, "Uncle Guan?"
A gentle smile appeared on Guan Zaizhou's usually calm and serious face. "Miss, my husband is having a small gathering with friends tonight. Would you like to join us?"
"Who are Dad's friends at the get-together?"
"Several renowned Southeast Asian businessmen, including the Nanyang Sugar King, Mr. Zheng Hong, and the Rubber King, Mr. Chen Kunnian, are among them."
Thinking of the property under her name, Fu Ziyan readily agreed, "Go!"
The Dream Building Theme Park will be completed in a year or two. As a children's playground, candy must be one of the surrounding items, so it is necessary to establish a good relationship with the Sugar King in advance.
Uncle Chen was even more important to meet. Her jade mine in Myanmar, while managed by the app's accompanying employees, would ultimately belong to her. With Myanmar's numerous warlords, any problem could arise at any moment. As the local tyrants, the Chen family's support was crucial for her jade mine.
Guan Zaizhou smiled and nodded, "Sir, you plan to leave at six o'clock."
"I see."
It was now 4:30 in the afternoon, and there was still an hour and a half until 6 o'clock, which was enough time for her to call the styling team to do her styling.
When meeting with elders, you don't need to be too ostentatious, just be decent and generous.
Fu Ziyan changed into a nude pink satin dress and wore a emerald green beauty bracelet on her fair wrist. The bracelet hung loosely on her wrist, making her look calm and elegant, yet lively and energetic, a characteristic of her age.
The host of the party was none other than Uncle Chen Kunnian, whom Fu Ziyan knew. He had heard the news in advance and went out to greet them. He smiled as soon as he saw Fu Qiyuan, "Yunzhi, it's rare that you brought your daughter Zhangzhu out today. I haven't seen Ti Ti for a while, and she's become more and more lively."
Fu Qiyuan smiled and said, "Yes, Brother Chen was not at home on the day of Ti Ti's coming-of-age ceremony, so it was a good opportunity to bring her here today to ask for a gift."
On Fu Ziyan's birthday, Chen Kunnian happened to be busy and missed it. Hearing Fu Qiyuan's words, he also smiled kindly and looked at Fu Ziyan, "Titi, if you have any gifts you want, just tell your uncle. I just got a nice set of pigeon blood red jewelry, I wonder if you like it. Or I can ask someone to take you to the warehouse to pick out some jade. They just opened up a few top-quality pieces, there will definitely be something you like."
Fu Ziyan curved her lips and revealed a well-behaved smile, "Thank you, Uncle Chen. I just happened to have something I wanted to ask for your help."
Chen Kunnian raised his eyebrows in surprise. "What's the matter? Your father can't help you? Okay, Ti Ti, tell me in detail later."
When they entered the inner room, a group of big men who could be judged to be much older than Fu Qiyuan just by looking at their appearance all greeted Fu Qiyuan with a smile. Fu Ziyan greeted these elders one by one.
After a while, Chen Kunnian asked everyone to take their seats.
What do the big guys do at their gathering?
Tea tasting, chess and mahjong playing.
That's it.
Mahjong is popular in Hong Kong, with tycoons gathering together to play it. Although it is quite down-to-earth, it is also understandable.
Well, it’s still hard to understand!
For example, her father, with his bright, calm, and elegant face, sat at the mahjong table. Although he was nearly fifty years old, he looked like he was in his mid-thirties. It was hard not to say that time had been particularly kind to him.
but...
Why is it a mahjong table!
Although her father taught her how to play Texas Hold'em, Fu Ziyan felt that mahjong was incompatible with her father's gentle and elegant temperament.
Fu Ziyan sat obediently beside her father, watching him touch and sort the cards, with a smile on her face but a torn heart.
Fortunately, Fu Qiyuan knew his daughter well and knew she wouldn't be able to sit still. "If Ti Ti is bored, you can walk around the backyard. Your Uncle Chen's house is modeled after the Suzhou gardens, and it's a very special time to enjoy the scenery."
Chen Kunnian also raised his hand and beckoned his assistant over, "Accompany Miss Fu for a walk."
It was meant to kill time, but Uncle Chen, the assistant, was particularly good at telling stories, and Fu Ziyan caught his attention without realizing it.
For example, the stones used to build the rockery are Taihu stones fished out and transported from Taihu Lake; the floor tiles used in some palaces are the same imperial kiln gold bricks of the Forbidden City, with a hard and fine texture, and a clanging sound like metal when knocked; the lotus planted in the pond in the courtyard is grown from lotus seeds that are truly from the Humble Administrator's Garden; the craftsmen who built this garden are descendants of the craftsmen who built the Suzhou gardens, and the craftsmanship has been passed down from generation to generation.
Fu Ziyan was so tired that she was numb from listening.
She knew that Uncle Chen was rich and his spending habits were exceptionally pure and unpretentious, but she had never expected that he would buy land in Hong Kong to build a Suzhou garden-style house, and actually restore the Suzhou garden one-to-one.
By the way, the reason why Uncle Chen enjoys such consumption is that he owns mines and has connections, making him a real local tyrant and rich man.
Fu Ziyan curved her eyebrows.
In fact, she also has mines, and several of them!
So, if she wants to build a garden, it doesn't seem too outrageous.
Her father's gentle and elegant character perfectly suited the artistic conception of Suzhou gardens. It was a pity she couldn't buy a real Suzhou garden in mainland China, but that didn't matter. As long as the building materials and construction techniques were the same, she could easily replicate one.
Fu Ziyan smiled and made up her mind that she would buy land for her father to build a Suzhou garden!
Now we can buy the land, hire people to buy materials and draw up blueprints, and hire more people if we have the financial resources. We should be able to complete the project within two years.
This will be a great gift for Dad's 50th birthday!
