Chapter 520 I'm Not Married Yet

"How much...how much will this cost?"

Xu Huizhen's eyes widened, and she asked in surprise. Her hands unconsciously clenched the hem of her dress, seemingly very worried about the expense.

Don't worry, it won't cost much!

He Yuzhu waved his hand dismissively and said, "It's decided then!"

As he spoke, he turned and called out towards the door, "Huang Zhiru, come in quickly!"

A moment later, Huang Zhiru walked in with light steps.

However, she seemed a little unnatural, with her head slightly lowered, not daring to meet Xu Huizhen's gaze, and softly greeted Xu Huizhen.

Xu Huizhen was warm and generous, with a kind smile always on her face.

She reached out and gently pulled Huang Zhiru over to sit beside her, then took Huang Zhiru's hand affectionately and began to chat.

"Oh my, Zhiru, you are so young and beautiful!" Xu Huizhen praised without reservation.

Upon hearing this, Huang Zhiru blushed slightly, smiled somewhat shyly, and agreed with Xu Huizhen's words.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, He Yuzhu finally got to the point and said, "We plan to open a kindergarten."

"Oh? Setting up a kindergarten? That shouldn't be too difficult."

Huang Zhiru relaxed a little and replied, "Although I haven't looked into the specifics, I have a general idea of ​​the situation."

As long as you can find a fixed location, you can apply according to the relevant procedures.

He Yuzhu nodded and continued:

"Okay, then let's find a place close to us in Sheung Wan and rent a suitable house to set up a kindergarten."

Huang Zhiru nodded obediently, then asked, "Okay, is there anything else I need to do besides these?"

"Of course!" He Yuzhu thought for a moment and continued to instruct.

"While you're at it, could you also help me find out how to set up an elementary school, a middle school, and a high school? We should all start them in the future. After all, no matter how good other people's schools are, they can't compare to our own! That way, the children won't be bullied at school."

Of course, by then, we definitely won't tell the children that the school is actually run by our family.

After all, providing children with a safe and secure learning environment is the most important thing! As for other matters, we can handle them step by step; there's no need to rush. The most urgent task right now is to successfully open this kindergarten.

"If we have to start every school ourselves, it would be much easier to just acquire an existing school!"

"Okay, then let's do it your way. But right now, we need to get a primary school sorted out first. Just make sure there's a suitable school for our child when they reach school age."

After Huang Zhirou readily agreed, she bid farewell to everyone and left.

At this moment, He Yuzhu couldn't help but sigh:

"Look how simple and straightforward this matter is! As long as there are enough funds on hand, it seems there's no problem that can't be properly resolved!"

"Alright, alright, since that's the case, then we don't need to rush home today."

Then, He Yuzhu inquired with great interest about the specific situation at the garment factory.

Xu Huizhen responded with a smile:

"Currently, it's quite easy for the few of us to manage this factory together. We've basically mastered all the work processes, and now we have the conditions to further expand production."

Upon hearing this, He Yuzhu immediately made a decision:

"Okay, no problem! I'll try my best to get you a batch of brand-new production equipment as soon as possible."

After seeing Xu Huizhen out, he immediately summoned Huang Zhirou into the room and explained to her in detail a series of matters concerning the purchase of production equipment.

The equipment needed for shirt production no longer needs to be purchased; now we need to consider buying other equipment, such as equipment for producing socks or shoes.

"So, should we only purchase one set for each type?" someone asked.

"We're just a small factory after all. Let's try it out first. If it's profitable, we can gradually expand the scale later."

Having made this decision, she had no choice but to follow instructions. Upon returning to her office, Huang Zhirou immediately contacted the relevant distributors and requested that they deliver the equipment as soon as possible.

It must be said that Hong Kong, as an international port city, does indeed have its unique advantages.

This place is home to countless businesses, dealing in all kinds of goods from around the world. Therefore, purchasing equipment can be easily completed with just a phone call.

After He Yuzhu finished get off work, he went to Tuen Mun again as usual. Upon arriving at his destination, he immediately began preparing dinner.

Before long, an enticing aroma wafted from the kitchen and drifted straight into the next room.

Inside the house, Ruan Taoling keenly smelled the fragrance, and a look of joy immediately appeared on her face. She excitedly exclaimed:

"Oh my, Brother He is showing off his culinary skills again!" Before she finished speaking, she couldn't wait to go outside.

At this moment, Ruan Mi, who was sitting to the side, quickly asked:

"Little sister, where are you rushing off to in such a hurry?" Ruan Tao replied without turning her head, "I'm going to find Brother He to play!"

Ruan Mi frowned slightly after hearing this and quickly stopped her:

"you……"

However, before she could finish speaking, Ruan Tao hurriedly interrupted her sister and began to explain:

"Sister, I genuinely think Brother He is a really nice person, and I went there just to help him out. There's nothing wrong with that!"

After saying that, Ruan Tao ignored her sister and ran briskly towards where He Yuzhu was.

Before her sister could say anything, Ruan Tao, like a lively and adorable little rabbit, quickly walked out of the room with light and cheerful steps.

Her bright, large eyes stared at the neatly arranged ingredients in front of her, and for a moment she hesitated, unsure of what to do—should she continue cooking this delicious meal, or carefully tidy them up first?

Just then, her gaze inadvertently fell on He Yuzhu's unlocked door, and a thought struck her. Without thinking, she gently pushed it open and went straight in.

As soon as Ruan Tao stepped into the room, she immediately noticed several enormous handbags placed in the center of the living room.

Curious, she leaned closer and examined the bags closely before discovering that each bag contained a radio!

This made her extremely happy. She secretly calculated that if she could successfully sell these radios, she could make a lot of money! Thinking of this, her already rosy cheeks became even more radiant with excitement.

"Brother He, I'm here! I've come especially to help you!" Ruan Tao called out to He Yuzhu, who was busy in the kitchen, with a big smile on her face.

Hearing the voice, He Yuzhu replied without turning his head:

"Haha, you've come just in time! Come over and help me wash all these things properly."

You know, just yesterday he was too embarrassed to ask Ruan Tao for help, but only a day later, he was now ordering her around so rudely.

However, Ruan Tao was not surprised at all, after all, she had personally witnessed He Yuzhu's superb cooking skills.

Those seemingly ordinary and simple ingredients, once carefully stir-fried by He Yuzhu, can instantly be transformed into mouthwatering and rare delicacies.

Without saying a word, Ruan Tao quickly walked to the sink, rolled up her sleeves, and began to carefully wash all kinds of vegetables.

Meanwhile, He Yuzhu stood to the side, skillfully wielding his cleaver, quickly cutting various ingredients into evenly sized chunks or slices.

As he skillfully chopped the vegetables, he casually asked, "By the way, where's your sister? Why didn't she come over with you?"

"She's busy at home right now! I'll go get her later."

Ruan Tao's big, bright eyes darted around, and a bright smile bloomed on her face as she asked in a sweet voice:

"Brother He, I wonder if you're married yet?"

Upon hearing this, He Yuzhu paused slightly, then gently shook his head and said with a wry smile:

"I'm someone who's always on the go at sea, how could I have the time or energy to think about something like marriage!"

"Oh, Brother He, don't say that! Look at your superb cooking skills, if you wanted to find a wife and start a family, that would be a piece of cake!"

Ruan Tao blinked, her tone full of admiration and praise.

He Yuzhu smiled faintly after hearing this, but did not continue the conversation on this topic. Instead, he changed the subject and asked about other aspects of the situation.

And so, the two of them chatted back and forth, working together seamlessly, and soon they had prepared a sumptuous and delicious meal.

Immediately afterwards, He Yuzhu got up and walked towards the next unit, preparing to invite Ruan Mi to come and enjoy the food together.

Having learned from yesterday's experience, the two sisters were noticeably more restrained today, no longer wolfing down their food as they had yesterday, for fear of feeling unwell from overeating.

After finishing their meal and resting for a while, they couldn't wait to start talking about business.

After some discussion, both parties reached a consensus:

Yesterday was considered helping out, so naturally I can't complain about the payment. But starting today, these radios will be sold to the Peach Sisters on a wholesale basis.

Once the units are successfully sold, He Yuzhu will only charge 50 yuan per unit. Any amount exceeding this will belong entirely to the two sisters as their rightful profit.

After everything was settled, the three of them happily headed to the night market together.

Upon arriving at their destination, they chose roughly the same spot as yesterday, quickly set up their stall, arranged various novel radios, and eagerly awaited customers.

Radio sales were exceptionally brisk yesterday, so much so that as soon as the stall was set up today, many people eagerly gathered around to buy one.

Unlike yesterday, today there's no need for He Yuzhu to help hawk the radios. He only needs to place the bag full of radios in a prominent position in front of him, and all he has to do is keep an eye on them to prevent them from being stolen.

In this way, He Yuzhu was happy to have a leisurely life and simply became a full-time security guard.

The night passed peacefully without any unexpected incidents.

During this time, Brother Liu, who had a prominent scar on his face, actually came over to greet He Yuzhu and chatted with him for a while, saying many flattering things. As it was nearing the end of the day, He Yuzhu gave him some instructions:

“I won’t be coming tomorrow, but you have to make sure those two don’t run into any trouble,” Scarface Liu replied confidently, patting his chest.
