Siheyuan: Struggle Begins in the 1950s

Hong Kong, Victoria Harbour.

After drifting on the cargo ship for a few days, Lou Bancheng and his wife, as well as Lou Xiao'e, finally set foot on the land of Hong Kong.

Looking at the prosperous scene before him, Lou Bancheng couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief.

He has been living in fear all these years in Beijing.

Now I am truly free.

Lou Bancheng's son Lou Hongbo had already been at the dock to greet his father.

After getting off the boat, Lou Xiao'e looked around.

She is curious about everything in Hong Kong.

The only thing that made her regretful was that she might not be able to see her best friend for a long time in the future.

She doesn't have many friends in the city, and Shen Chuxia is one of her few close friends.

After arriving in Hong Kong, Lou Bancheng didn't interfere much in business matters.

Except for major decisions, all other matters were basically delegated to Lou Hongbo.

As for Lou Xiao'e, she continued to be a rich girl.

After living in Hong Kong for a few days, Lou Xiao'e, who had nothing to do, simply took out the address that Wang Jianjun had given her and prepared to visit Wang Jianjun's home.

Wang Jianjun told her that she could go there when she came, and there would be an unexpected surprise.

Lou Xiao'e has always remembered this incident.

The person in charge of driving was Chen Li, and the two drove all the way to Taiping Mountain.

Lou Xiao'e has also heard about this place during the past few days she has been here. It is said that only the richest people in Hong Kong can live here.

He was a little curious and didn't know which relative of Wang Jianjun lived here.

After arriving at the place, Lou Xiao'e knocked on the door.

The door was opened after a while.

When she saw the person in front of her, Lou Xiao'e was stunned.

"Hatsuna?!"

"Xiao'e?!"

Lou Xiao'e was a little surprised at first, then she happily took Shen Maiqiu's hand and said excitedly:

"Why is it you, Chu Xia? And I don't even know when you came to Hong Kong."

Shen Maiqiu was also very happy.

But since she is in Hong Kong, she doesn't need to hide her identity.

"Xiao'e, let me introduce myself formally. I am Shen Maiqiu, Shen Chuxia is my elder sister, and I am the younger sister."

"Hmm? Aa ...

Lou Xiao'e's eyes widened.

Shen Maiqiu's words made her a little confused.

He fled to Hong Kong, but his friend arrived in Hong Kong first, and this friend said that she was not the friend he knew.

The silly goose suddenly found that his brain was not enough.

Shen Maiqiu welcomed Lou Xiaoe into the house with a smile, and then explained his identity to it.

Of course, she only said that she came to Hong Kong a few years ago to manage her business.

Not many secrets were revealed.

He also talked about how he had swapped identities with Shen Chuxia and married her.

After hearing this, Lou Xiao'e didn't know whether to be angry or laugh.

"So you two have been playing tricks on me for so many years, then who was it that I was hanging out with all these years?"

"If we're talking about watching a movie, it's usually my sister. If we're talking about reading a book or drinking coffee, it's me."

Lou Xiao'e looked at Shen Maiqiu with some resentment and said dissatisfiedly:

"You two are going too far. I thought you were my good sisters. And Wang Jianjun is the same. No wonder he looked at me weirdly when I mentioned your sister before I left! Does that bastard think I'm a fool?!"

"Hehe, we were wrong about this. So Xiao'e, I'll be your host when you come to Hong Kong this time. I'll take care of all the dining, movie and entertainment options!"

Shen Maiqiu, who is already a super wealthy woman, generously stated that she never cares whether the other person is rich or not when she looks for a best friend, because she is definitely not as rich as her anyway.

Lou Xiao'e was not really angry, and she didn't think it was a big deal that her good sisters married Wang Jianjun at the same time.

After all, her father Lou Bancheng has several wives.

And this time when he came to Hong Kong, he brought four or five concubines with him.

If his health didn't allow it, his father would probably want to marry a few more people.

On the contrary, Lou Xiao'e was somewhat envious of Shen Maiqiu.

She heard from Shen Maiqiu that Wang Jianjun brought them to Hong Kong not only because they were the daughters of capitalists, but also because he wanted to marry two people in a legitimate way.

To be honest, if a man is willing to make such sacrifices, Lou Xiao'e doesn't mind two women sharing one man.

In the next few days, Lou Xiao'e and Shen Maiqiu experienced what it was like to live a rich life.

There isn't a lot of entertainment in this era.

Watching a movie counts as one.

However, Lou Xiao'e has never experienced a private cinema.

She used to have a private screening room at home.

The person showing the movie was Xu Damao's father Xu Fugui.

But although it is called a screening room, it is actually just a converted living room.

In later times, it would be just a home theater.

Shen Maiqiu took her to their own cinema.

Wang Jianjun specially renovated a luxurious private screening room.

Specially used to show movies for my family.

The screening room uses the most advanced projectors and screens of this era.

The movie playback effect is much better than that in China where a projectionist is needed for explanation.

Even in Hong Kong, the experience is the best.

There is also a freezer and a snack cabinet inside.

A variety of alcoholic beverages are available.

After experiencing the luxurious cinema, the two went to Wang Jianjun’s restaurant.

Lou Xiao'e hadn't tasted authentic Tan family cuisine for a long time, and she had never even seen many of the high-end ingredients.

After this experience, Lou Xiao'e felt that she was more like a rural girl from the countryside.

And the steel mill on the other side.

Just as Xu Damao thought.

After searching Lou Bancheng's house to no avail, Li Huaide scolded him directly.

Liu Haizhong was also criticized.

Xu Damao felt aggrieved, as Lou Bancheng had obviously planned to escape from the city.

His Xu family had long ceased to have any contact with the Lou family, so how could they know this news?

Fortunately, Li Huaide was angry, but he still took the two gold bars into consideration.

He didn't make it too difficult for Xu Damao.

"I will report Lou Bancheng's matter to the higher authorities, and this matter is over now.

I have some names here. They are all shareholders of the former steel mill. Go and investigate these people. They must not escape like Lou Bancheng did!"

Xu Damao and Liu Haizhong quickly patted their chests and promised that they would definitely not make the same mistake again this time.

"And remember, when you confiscate these people's assets, remember to notify me. I will personally count and seal them."

Xu Damao and Liu Haizhong didn't know what Li Huaide was thinking.

The two were also very envious. You know, those people on the list are just small shareholders, but each of them is a wealthy capitalist.

At this moment, both of them had some little thoughts in mind.

With so much money, Li Huaide shouldn’t know if there’s a little less.
