Xu Damao's Thirty-Six Stratagems in Siheyuan

During this period, Hu Suian was very busy. After the Spring Festival, he resigned from the District Justice Bureau and worked with his doctoral classmates from Taiyuan and his former classmates who had returned from abroad to set up a law firm.

After more than three months of intensive preparations and with the strong support of Xu Nian, Kyoto Zhenxuan Law Firm finally opened before Labor Day in a 100-square-meter office area rented in an entire floor of an office building purchased by Xu Nian in the Zhongguancun Hongxiang Cultural Industry Park in Xibeiwang, Haidian.

On the opening day, Haida Fangshan Company, Pinggu Company, Aoxue Pharmaceutical in Shahe Town, Changping, Eli Beverage Company in Shunyi, Lingyun Beverage Company in Pinggu, June God Clothing Company in Shangcun, Haidian, and Linglong Outdoor Products Company all arrived and signed long-term legal advisory contracts.

Zhenxuan received nearly 100,000 yuan in revenue as soon as it opened. It was a really good start. There was nothing we could do. We were all family members, so we had to support them.

Under Hu Yuanxi's operation, the Haidian District Government also sent propaganda officials to inspect Zhenxuan Law Firm.

Xu Nianting was very busy. Since graduating from Kyoto University with a master's degree in business and a master's degree in history last summer, she had been idle. She either stayed at home to take care of her son or went to Rumao Baozhai to learn the craft from Pu Yulin. Both brands of instant noodles were joint ventures, so she didn't need to worry about daily affairs. She hired professionals to manage the finances, and she was only responsible for collecting her share of the profits every quarter.

With money in your pocket, you can do anything happily. For example, this year Hu Suian wanted to open a law firm, so she went directly to Haidian Xibeiwang Zhongguancun and spent a huge amount of money to buy a whole floor of office buildings. There are discounts for buying more. Most people buy one or two rooms, and the price is 1780 to yuan per square meter. She directly negotiated with others to buy a floor, and the price was only per square meter, which is directly considered to be more than yuan per square meter. This is a quick way to make money.

"Pan Pan, you are free and easy now, Suian will probably be busy for a while, you can bring Lele back to Yandaixie Street often to accompany your mother, your brother and Lele will have a companion." Lele is the nickname of Hu Suian and Xu Nian's two sons, and his full name is Xuantong, which comes from the fifty-sixth chapter of Tao Te Ching: "Those who know do not speak, and those who speak do not know. Block its opening, close its door, blunt its sharpness, resolve its disputes, harmonize its light, and be one with its dust, this is called Xuantong". "Harmonize light and be one with dust" means to harmonize light, not to be ostentatious, not to show off, and to live a peaceful and happy life. It was chosen by the child's grandfather Hu Tianhua himself.

"Dad, OK, I'll take your car back to see my mom later. Lele is so much fun now. More fun than any toy."

Xu Damao was also drunk. He treated his own son as a toy. No one else could do that. Xu Damao had always felt guilty towards his daughter. She left him not long after she was born, and he had no involvement in her growth. Especially when he heard his daughter talking about the humiliating time in the past when they were shopping in Hong Kong last time, Xu Nian had a grudge in his heart, which made Xu Damao, a daughter slave, feel pity for her. So every time he talked to Xu Nian, he was very gentle, with a hint of request in his voice.

However, Xu Nian is still greatly influenced by Xu Damao, especially after she learned the craft from Pu Yulin and listened to Pu Yulin's stories about Xu Damao, she realized that her father's life was not easy, and he had to make a decision for the safety of the four of them. She admired her father very much. So now the father and daughter have a lot of common topics to talk about, especially history, literature, antiques, etc., which always makes Xu Nian wonder whether her father is a university professor or an ordinary high school student.

With that kind of respect in my heart, I admire my father even more. People say that a daughter is a man's little lover in his previous life. For Xu Damao and Xu Nian, it really feels that way.

Lou Boxu has already started to pee and play in the mud, but Xu Damao is still very strict with Lou Boxu. A child born in a privileged family must be made aware of the difficulties of life. This is something that he and Lou Xiaoe have already reached a consensus on, that this old son must not be spoiled.

After he turned one year old, Xu Damao started giving Lou Boxu medicinal baths to strengthen his body, so Lou Boxu is in very good health. He has never caught a cold even once in his life.

"Grandma, Mom, little brother." Xu Nian now looked like a typical Kyoto girl. Local conditions and climates nurture local people, and no matter where Xu Nian grew up in Hong Kong, she still looked like a Kyoto girl.

Today she was happy, and so were everyone else, especially Lou Xiao'e.

However, Lou Xiao'e still asked her eldest daughter.

"Pan Pan, your son-in-law has his own business now, you can't just be a housewife, you still have to work hard when you have time. Also, do you want Lele to go back to Hong Kong to study in the future? After all, there is an environment for learning English in Hong Kong."

"Mom, Lele is so young, it's unrealistic to think so far ahead. Besides, the Hu family has only this one grandson, so it's impossible for Lele to go to Hong Kong to study in elementary and junior high school. Besides, the education level in China is not low now. Don't even think about it. You're asking for Lele's grandfather's life by letting Lele go to Hong Kong. My younger brother can consider going to school in Hong Kong. I'm going back to Hong Kong for a while after the summer. My dad said that there are many treasures scattered among the people in Hong Kong. I have to go there and set up a cultural company, and go to every corner of Hong Kong with my second sister-in-law. What's more, we can snatch good stuff from auction houses. Mom, why don't you come back to Hong Kong with me for a while? My second brother has three children now. As a grandmother, don't you take care of them?"

Lou Xiao'e actually had this in mind. After this discussion, they planned to go back to Hong Kong together after the summer and stay until the Chinese New Year.

Xu Damao had agreed with Fang Xiaoru in July to go to the northwest, so he fully agreed with Lou Xiaoe and his daughter Xu Nian's plan to go to Hong Kong. To be honest, the three grandchildren in Hong Kong also concerned him.

Coincidentally, a few days later, Xu Jun came to Yandaixie Street.

"Mom, I think you'll have to take care of Xiyan for a while longer. Yaya is pregnant."

Another big surprise.

Originally, Xu Jun and Yuan Ya returned to China to prepare for a second child. However, Xu Jun was working on a laboratory and Yuan Ya was working on Eli beverages, so they were both very busy. Unexpectedly, after the two companies were on track, they came back to report that they were pregnant.

Lou Xiao'e was so happy that it was hard to describe.

"No problem. It just so happens that I have already told your sister that in September, Xiyan will go with us to Hong Kong for a while and return to Kyoto before the New Year. Grandma Mi really cares about her great-grandson, and Hong Kong is warmer in autumn and winter, which is suitable for wintering. Your father said that in July, he will go out of town for a while to seek opportunities. He will do his thing, and you will do yours. We will do ours."

Xu Xiyan is now over four years old. After returning to China, Xu Damao actually has high expectations for this granddaughter. She has already started practicing martial arts under his guidance. Now she is taller than other children of the same age.

A few days later, Xu Xiyan moved from the Lou family's small western-style building to Yandaixie Street to live with his grandmother and great-grandmother, and brought Xu Nian's family with him. Suddenly, Yandaixie Street was filled with a warm family atmosphere, with four generations living in one house, all happy and harmonious.
