Rebirth 2004: I can make money by writing.

After Hao Qiang hung up the phone, he first contacted Qiu Yuqing and asked her if she wanted to go to the capital to watch the Spring Festival Gala.

Qiu Yuqing said she didn't really want to participate and that she would just watch it at home.

Afterwards, Hao Qiang contacted Han Qingying again.

Although Han Qingying wanted to accompany her, she was worried about her grandmother spending the New Year alone at home, and she was also afraid of being exposed on TV.

Considering that the old man is too old to be suitable for long-distance flights, Hao Qiang is unwilling to let him travel too hard.

Originally, Hao Qiang planned to invite Han Qingying and his grandmother to his home to celebrate the New Year together, but based on local customs, his grandmother thought that Han Qingying was not yet married and it was not appropriate for her to spend New Year's Eve at Hao Qiang's home. She also needed to follow the tradition of burning incense and worshiping Buddha.

In the end, neither Han Qingying nor Qiu Yuqing could travel far.

Hao Qiang mentioned this to his family, and his parents readily agreed to go to the scene to watch their son's performance and visit the attractions in the imperial capital. They had never been to the imperial capital before.

There are limited seats for the Spring Festival Gala, and it is not easy to arrange two empty seats.

It is prohibited to purchase tickets for the Spring Festival Gala. The guests in the audience are divided into two types, one is the VIP seats and the other is the ordinary audience seats. The VIP seats are mainly round tables, while the audience seats are ordinary horizontal rows of seats.

The audience who can sit in the VIP seats are generally sponsors, as well as some outstanding representatives, families of martyrs, and athletes who have won glory for the country.

The ordinary audience seats are for the families of celebrities or relatives and friends of TV station leaders.

On that day, Hao Qiang booked five tickets, including those for himself, his parents, and two bodyguards.

Fortunately, there are more flights heading north and relatively fewer flights heading south, so air tickets are easy to buy.

At the same time, Hao Qiang notified the housekeeper of the Dongsi Courtyard and asked him to arrange for a nanny to clean the house.

This three-in-one courtyard house has just been renovated and after a period of ventilation, it is now suitable for occupancy.

The courtyard is only about four kilometers away from Y TV Station, making commuting very convenient.

As for the courtyard houses near Shichahai, the renovation progress is a little slower, but there will be no problem in completing them and moving in before the Olympics.

The next morning, Hao Qiang and his family set off for the airport, escorted by two other bodyguards.

At noon, the group arrived at the Imperial Capital Airport, and the TV station had arranged a special car to pick them up.

In the car, Liu Fengqing curiously asked his son: "Are we staying in a hotel?"

"Mom, we have our own house here." Hao Qiang replied and pointed out the destination to the driver.

Although the TV station originally planned to arrange a hotel for them, Hao Qiang declined.

Since you already have a house, why go to a faraway place?

It was Hao Qiang's parents' first time visiting the imperial capital. They were full of curiosity about the city and asked questions all the way.

About an hour later, the vehicle arrived at Hao Qiang's courtyard, and the housekeeper had been waiting at the gate for a long time.

The housekeeper was selected by Hao Qiang from among the group's employees. His name was Ouyang Shaohua. He had just graduated from university with a major in business administration two years ago. His home happened to be in the capital, so Hao Qiang asked him if he was willing to help manage his house in the capital.

Of course Ouyang Shaohua was happy to do it. There was little work to do, the salary was good, it was close to home, and he could also get in touch with the boss. Where could he find such a good job?

Seeing Hao Qiang get off the car, Ouyang Shaohua immediately stepped forward.

"Chairman, we've finally met you!"

Recently, Ouyang Shaohua has been learning driving and housekeeping skills to prepare himself for serving Hao Qiang.

Hao Qiang patted his shoulder and expressed his gratitude: "Ouyang, thank you for your hard work."

"It's not hard, this job is great." Ouyang Shaohua said with a simple smile.

The subsequent luggage handling work was handled by the two accompanying bodyguards, so Hao Qiang didn't have to worry about it.

Liu Fengqing looked around the house with its red walls, gray tiles, carved beams and painted buildings and couldn't help but complain, "Son, I thought you bought a villa, but it turns out it's a bungalow."

"Well, I feel like it's not as grand as the house at home." Hao Jianjun also delivered a critical hit.

"Well, it's more convenient here." Hao Qiang was speechless for a moment and didn't know how to answer.

He admitted that from the outside, this courtyard house was indeed plain and unpretentious, no different from other courtyard houses, but this was exactly the low-key and restraint he was pursuing.

Ouyang Shaohua smiled in his heart, he understood the reaction of Hao Qiang's parents.

Young people do prefer modern villas, and only nostalgic people favor courtyard houses.

However, although this courtyard looks simple on the outside, it is a different world inside.

This three-courtyard house covers an area of ​​1400 square meters, faces the river on two sides, and is surrounded by walls and green belts, providing excellent privacy.

It was originally a wealthy mansion and had been renovated once. It was renovated again after Hao Qiang took over.

Ouyang Shaohua pushed open the heavy vermilion lacquered door, and what came into view was a spacious entrance screen wall with exquisite patterns carved on the water-ground brick wall.

Next to the main entrance is a row of back houses, which are mainly used as servants' quarters and outer living rooms.

Ouyang Shaohua arranged for his two bodyguards to live here, and he himself also lived here.

After passing through the double-flowered gate, you will reach the largest second courtyard.

The courtyard has a spacious patio, dotted with carefully trimmed bonsai and ancient trees, creating a leisurely atmosphere.

Different from traditional courtyard houses, the east and west wing rooms and the main house here are all double-story structures.

"Chairman, your room is in the main house, with a study and a gym next to it.

"Uncle and aunt can choose to live in the east wing or the main house, which has two spacious bedrooms," Ouyang Shaohua explained. "The west wing has been converted into an inner living room and dining area."

"When I came in, I felt it was quite different." Liu Fengqing was like Granny Liu entering the Grand View Garden for the first time, her initial contempt turning into surprise.

Especially after she pushed open the door of the west wing, she was dazzled by the interior decoration.

In the spacious and bright living room, simple modern furniture complements the antique wooden carved screen.

On the ceiling, traditional caisson patterns are cleverly combined with modern LED light strips to create an elegant and warm atmosphere.

"The decoration is very beautiful. I wonder if the floor will get damp?" Hao Jianjun exclaimed.

Ouyang Shaohua explained: "Uncle, the climate in the imperial capital is dry, and moisture-proof mats were laid before the floor was constructed, so moisture generally doesn't return."

"Oh, so that's the case. We often have the problem of dampness in our hometown." Hao Jianjun suddenly realized.

Ouyang Shaohua led Hao Qiang and his family of three to visit the entire courtyard.

After passing through the main house, there is the third courtyard, which was called the back courtyard in ancient times and was mostly used for children to live in.

After a quick tour, Hao Qiang chose to settle down in a bedroom on the second floor of the main house.

His parents continued to visit the rooms accompanied by Ouyang Shaohua.

At noon, the local celebrity chef arranged by Ouyang Shaohua had prepared the meal, and the family and bodyguards had lunch together in the restaurant of the courtyard.

In the afternoon, the luxury car rented by Ouyang Shaohua was ready, and the driver drove Hao Qiang to the TV station for rehearsal.

Hao Qiang's parents went to visit Tiananmen Square under the arrangement of Ouyang Shaohua.
