My happy life in a courtyard house with triplets.

Chapter 482: The Women's Thoughts

As soon as Zhang Lei handed the matter over to Zhang Zhiqiang, all the wives came downstairs one after another. He went up to them and gave each of them a big hug.

As everyone sat around the table eating breakfast, Zhang Lei smiled and looked at them: "What are your plans for today? Are you going out for a trip, or staying home?"

Yu Haitang, who was standing nearby, immediately asked, "Darling, what are your plans for today? I want to be with you."

Zhang Lei thought for a moment and realized he didn't have much to do; he'd delegated all the tasks, big and small, to the robot. He said, "Let's go on a sea trip, but we need to buy a yacht first."

Everyone was taken aback by these words. Lou Xiao'e couldn't help but ask with concern, "Husband, we spend so much money every day, how much money do we actually have?"

Her question revealed what everyone wanted to ask but dared not.

Zhang Lei looked at them and said with a smile, "As for our family's money, let me put it this way, I still have over a billion US dollars on me. At the current exchange rate, that's about 10 billion; converted to Hong Kong dollars, it's about 6 or 7 billion."

The crowd erupted in astonishment; no one had expected Zhang Lei to be this wealthy. In fact, Zhang Lei hadn't even considered the antiques and gold in his spatial storage that would appreciate dramatically in value, nor the vast number of robots worldwide that were still generating enormous profits.

Zhang Lei smiled and waved his hand: "Calm down, calm down, it's just a small amount of money. You'll get used to it eventually."

As soon as he finished speaking, the women immediately surrounded him. Ye Shuqin hugged Zhang Lei and laughed, "Honey, I used to think you were lustful for marrying so many wives, but I was so shallow. With so much money, it wouldn't be excessive for you to marry a hundred wives."

Seeing his wives nodding in agreement, Zhang Lei said helplessly, "Just say what's on your mind. Don't look at me like that. Just tell me what you're thinking."

Seeing that their thoughts had been exposed, everyone spoke up one after another.

The first to speak was Ding Qiunan: "Honey, since you're so rich, open a private hospital for me. I want the most upscale one. I have top-notch traditional Chinese medicine skills now, and I'll find a few more people for traditional Chinese medicine and hire authoritative experts for Western medicine to create a top-notch private hospital that specializes in making money from the rich."

Zhang Lei was somewhat surprised: "I thought you would want to open a regular hospital to save lives."

Ding Qiunan shook her head: "I used to think that way, but I don't anymore. I can earn money from the rich and then use it to help the poor. Isn't that better than directly earning money from the poor? There are so many poor people in the world. I can't save them all. I'm just a woman, not a saint."

Zhang Lei nodded in satisfaction: "Good, you have the potential to be a capitalist. Don't worry, we'll open the hospital in an area full of wealthy people; the medical skills will be up to you."

He paused, then added, "You'd better further embellish your image, fabricate a family with a long tradition of medical expertise, that would be more convincing. That's how the world works; the more prestigious and mysterious your identity, the more people will believe you; if you're unknown, no one will care even if your medical skills are superb."

Ding Qiunan smiled and agreed.

Immediately afterwards, Su Meng and Guan Xiaoguan stood up: "Honey, we want to open a restaurant."

Zhang Lei nodded: "Okay, what kind of restaurant do you want to open? Make a plan first, think about the scale, chefs, staff, pricing, and whether it suits Hong Kong tastes. As long as the plan is ready, I will invest. You can bring the robot to choose the location and decorations. Let me know if you like anything, and I will have someone take care of it."

The two were overjoyed.

Yu Haitang and He Yushui also stepped forward. Yu Haitang said, "Honey, Yushui and I want to open a flower shop."

Zhang Lei was taken aback: "Open a flower shop?"

He Yushui asked cautiously, "Is it because the flower shop isn't making money?"

"No, that's not true," Zhang Lei quickly shook his head. "As long as you're having fun, it doesn't matter if you make money or not. My space can regulate the seasons and the flow of time. You just need to buy seeds, and I'll have robots cultivate them for you inside. You can have any kind of flower you want. If you just want to have some fun, you can open a big one. If you want to turn it into a business, you can do a chain. I'll have someone buy the land for you."

Yu Haitang and He Yushui were overjoyed and each kissed Zhang Lei on the cheek.

At this moment, He Wenyuan stood up and said, "Honey, I want to learn a musical instrument. I enjoy playing it."

Zhang Lei readily agreed: "No problem, I'll hire top teachers to instruct you, and I can also help you arrange concerts if you want to in the future. By the way, I'm planning to start a film and television company, and you can join us if you're interested in doing so."

Upon hearing about the film and television company, everyone curiously pressed for details. Zhang Lei only mentioned that he had discovered promising young actresses, without specifying which actresses he thought would become famous in the future, lest he be misunderstood as expanding his harem.

Finally, Han Chunyan, Yang Maixiang, and He Wenhui stood up.

Zhang Lei looked at them: "What are your plans, the three of you?"

The three shook their heads. He Wenhui said, "We don't know what to do either. Could you, sir, see if there's any other business we can get involved in?"

Zhang Lei thought for a moment and said, "Why don't you stay home for now? If you all go out, who will take care of the kids? We can't rely on robots all the time."

He Wenhui's eyes lit up: "I've got it! We can open our own school! We can manage it ourselves, and we'll feel at ease letting our children study there."

Zhang Lei thought the idea was great and said with a smile, "Okay, let's start with kindergarten. Once the children are in kindergarten, we can gradually expand to primary school, middle school, high school, and all the way to university."

Yang Maixiang and Han Chunyan nodded repeatedly, finally finding something suitable to do and being able to take care of the child at the same time.

At this moment, Zhang Lei looked at the three sisters Ye Shuqin, Ye Shuqi, and Ye Shuhua, who had not yet expressed their opinions, and Yu Li, and asked, "What are your plans, the four of you?"

Ye Shuhua shook her head first and said softly, "I don't have any other ideas. I just want to paint quietly for a while every day. If I can hold my own art exhibition in the future, I will be satisfied."

Zhang Lei smiled and nodded: "Of course. If you'd like, I can also invite a few well-known painters in the industry to exchange ideas and learn from you, so we can improve together."

Ye Shuhua's eyes lit up: "Honey, really?"

Zhang Lei nodded affirmatively.

He then looked at Ye Shuqi and joked, "Shuqi, you're not thinking of opening a card and mahjong parlor, are you?"

Ye Shuqi immediately shook her head: "I'm not interested in such childish things. I want to start an investment company."

"Oh? You're interested in this too?" Zhang Lei was somewhat surprised.

Ye Shuqi nodded seriously.

Zhang Lei laughed and said, "Perfect timing. Our family already has an investment company in Hong Kong. You can go there and gain some experience, starting as a manager."

Ye Shuqi confidently replied, "Don't worry, sir, I guarantee you'll make a fortune."

Zhang Lei smiled and reassured him, "Okay, I'll cover for you. Even if you lose money, don't worry."

Ye Shuqi said firmly, "I will never lose out."

Finally, Zhang Lei looked at Ye Shuqin and Yu Li, who still seemed somewhat lost: "Shuqin, Yu Li, why don't you two go work at a real estate company and gain some experience?"

The two looked at each other and nodded in unison.

Ye Shuqin smiled and said, "Honey, then let's go to the real estate company."

Zhang Lei said with satisfaction, "Okay, it's settled then. If anyone wants to change their mind in the future, just let me know and I'll have someone take over your work."

After hearing this, everyone was full of confidence and looked forward to the life ahead.
