Compared to her son, Little Bao, Xia Guifang's surprise was somewhat smaller since she had seen Wang Xiaoqiang take action in the Provincial Capital. With just a slingshot, he had knocked over four violent mannequins, but when Wang Xiaoqiang sent a tall and menacing guy flying with a slap, Xia Guifang couldn't help but widen her beautiful eyes and responded to her son, "Yes, Daddy is very powerful, Little Bao, you should learn some Kung Fu from Daddy in the future..."
Xia Guifang became somewhat confused as she spoke, "Kung Fu"? When did Wang Xiaoqiang ever learn Kung Fu?
Wang Xiaoqiang slapped Brother Leopard away, then walked towards him. Brother Leopard's underlings jumped out of the car and shielded him, brandishing knives and steel pipes as weapons, and yelled at Wang Xiaoqiang, "Kid, don't come any closer, take another step and I'll chop you to death..."
Seeing that the gang of ruffians all had weapons in their hands, Xia Guifang grew anxious and immediately called out to Wang Xiaoqiang, "Little Qiang, don't go over there,"
Nevertheless, Wang Xiaoqiang didn't heed the warning. He stepped forward, and the ruffians emboldened themselves to attack him all at once. Wang Xiaoqiang kicked one over, then landed a kick on their Santana, toppling it to the ground. Seeing Wang Xiaoqiang overturn a car with a single kick, Brother Leopard and his gang trembled on the ground in fear.
Poor Zhou Bo was still in the car when it flipped, and as the car turned over, he hit his head on the interior, breaking his head and bleeding profusely.
Wang Xiaoqiang turned around, went back to his own car, and then drove away.
"Dad, you're so amazing, I want to learn Kung Fu from you," Little Bao exclaimed excitedly.
"Alright, but learning Kung Fu is very tough," Wang Xiaoqiang smiled and said.
"I'm not afraid," Little Bao clenched his fist and said.
Staying in a hotel was too inconvenient, so the family of three moved into the Xiangmi Lake Resort that day.
Xiangmi Lake Resort was established in 1981. At that time, it was the largest and most fully-equipped resort in the country, integrating dining, lodging, travel, sightseeing, shopping, and entertainment. In the mid-1980s, Xiangmi Lake Resort was very popular in both Shenzhen and Hong Kong. It became a must-visit destination for Shenzhen residents and tourists to the city. Its architecture featured a fusion of Chinese and Western styles and was known for its distinctive German-style flower streets and French-style castle. Within the resort, there were 5 garden hotels and 2 high-rise hotels, boasting a total of 450 guest rooms nestled among lush flowers and trees, with lotus-filled ponds, pavilions over curved bridges, and the swaying of coconut trees, creating a tranquil environment.
That day, Little Bao ran around all day and was so exhausted that he fell asleep as soon as he lay down.
The couple whispered sweet nothings to each other.
"Ah... Little Fang, do you like this place?"
"I love it,"
"Then tomorrow let's go look at houses and buy one. In the future, you and Little Bao can live here," Wang Xiaoqiang suggested.
Xia Guifang, however, shook her head, "I'm not used to living here."
Wang Xiaoqiang countered, "You'll get used to it if you live here long enough. We can't stay in Sanmiao Village forever. Besides, Little Bao has to go to school. We can't let him attend the village primary school forever."
Xia Guifang thought it over and agreed. Her son's education was important; he needed to attend the best school. Shenzhen was a nice place, open and developed, with favorable conditions in many aspects. So, she nodded in agreement.
The next day.
The family of three began looking at houses in the vicinity of Xiangmi Lake.
Speaking of houses, the homes near Xiangmi Lake could be considered some of the best in Shenzhen. Radiating outward from Xiangmi Lake and considering the influence of the Agricultural Lychee Grove, the Xiangmi Lake area was formed. The planned area of the Xiangmi Lake district is bordered by Xiangmei Road to the west, North Ring Avenue to the south, East Overseas City Road to the east, and Shennan Avenue to the north, encompassing about 312.83 hectares with a current population of around 40,000 people. The high-quality urban comprehensive community of the Xiangmi Lake district is backed by the rolling Antuo Hill and Tanglang Mountain. It also boasts a 1.2 million square meter Xiangmi Lake and a 430,000 square meter Agricultural Botanic Garden. As the green core of the city center, the air quality index of the Xiangmi Lake district is far superior to other areas. The area has a beautiful landscape and is planned as a comprehensive tourist area in the future, which has attracted many noble classes to settle here. Looking at the Xiangmi Lake and the Agricultural Center in this district, the residents tend to be from the higher income brackets. In addition, high-end facilities such as the Xiangmi Lake Resort, German-style Castle, and Celebrity Club set the cultural tone of the area on the upscale side.

Apart from the commercial monopolization of Xiangmi Lake, real estate developers gnawed away at the land parcels of Xiangmi Lake, which also caused the area's role as a tourist destination to gradually fade. Xiangmi Lake had already become one of Shenzhen's, and indeed all of South China's, luxury housing enclaves. This district boasted superior air quality and an excellent environment and landscape, with living conditions far surpassing other areas. Once dubbed "the city's green lung," Xiangmi Lake had become synonymous with "a battleground for real estate tycoons," "high-quality urban comprehensive community," and "Shenzhen's top luxury residential concentration area."
Because Little Bao loved to play, they decided not to drive that day. Stumbling upon a real estate sales center, Wang Xiaoqiang and Xia Guifang were looking at houses when several salesladies, upon hearing their mainland accents and seeing the child with them who was also causing a ruckus, running around the sales center, became annoyed. Their brows furrowed, and they provided service with neither their usual warmth nor enthusiasm, speaking in a cold and detached manner. When Wang Xiaoqiang took an interest in a villa and the saleslady quoted a price of thirty million, Xia Guifang's expression visibly changed, and she tugged at Wang Xiaoqiang. She knew Wang Xiaoqiang was wealthy but hadn't seen him spend money like this before—thirty million in one go! She felt a pang of distress.
The salesladies didn't miss this gesture, and their faces immediately revealed disdain, "Hmph, country bumpkins daring to buy a house here, now they're scared."
Just then, two men dressed in suits and leather shoes walked in, and the salesladies' demeanors changed as soon as they saw these two men, quickly getting up to welcome them with smiles all around. Even the saleslady who had been introducing a house to Wang Xiaoqiang rushed over to greet the newcomers, leaving him in the lurch.
"Good day, Boss Wang, Manager Ma"
The salesladies were incredibly respectful and sweet-talking, some even throwing flirtatious glances, clearly indicating that Manager Ma and Boss Wang must be their superiors.
However, Wang Xiaoqiang was not pleased, everyone says the customer is God, but now they were treating him with complete disregard. He was incensed and slapped the desk, "What's the meaning of this? Do you even want to sell houses or not..."
But the salesladies ignored Wang Xiaoqiang, too preoccupied with currying favor with the big boss and the manager. The one who was just showing the house to Wang Xiaoqiang even glared fiercely at him. Her eyes displayed undisguised contempt and even a hint of warning, fearing that Wang Xiaoqiang might complain about her at this critical moment, which could cost her a bonus.
Wang Xiaoqiang, seeing the saleslady give him such a look, became even more infuriated, turned around swiftly and pointed at her face, "Who are you glaring at..."
It was just then that the newcomer Boss Wang exclaimed, "Oh, Little Qiang, oh, Gui Fang..."
Upon hearing Boss Wang speak, all the salesladies were astounded; they couldn't believe that Wang Dali, the big boss of First-Class Residence real estate, actually knew these two mainlanders.
Wang Xiaoqiang and Xia Guifang looked around and realized that Boss Wang was none other than Wang Dali himself. They were quite taken aback.
Wang Dali approached with a cheerful laugh, patting Wang Xiaoqiang on the back, "Little Qiang, when did you come to Shenzhen without even telling me..."
Wang Xiaoqiang, surprised, responded, "Aren't you in Guangzhou, brother?"
Wang Dali replied with a proud air, "Who says I can only hang around in Guangzhou? My main efforts are all here in Shenzhen right now..."
"You're doing quite well," Wang Xiaoqiang remarked, his gaze sweeping the salesladies before finally settling on the property models, "Are all these properties developed by you?"
The salesladies, feeling the pressure of Wang Xiaoqiang's scrutiny, shrank back, realizing the man from the mainland they were looking down upon was actually the big boss's younger brother. This was trouble. Whether he was a biological brother or not, they were in a bad spot.
"Of course, Little Qiang, did you come here to buy a house..." Wang Dali asked.
"Indeed, but these women's customer service leaves much to be desired, leaving a customer unattended like that..." Wang Xiaoqiang's gaze swept over the salesladies once more, finally resting on the one who had been showing him the house.
"I saw, Little Qiang, don't be angry, I'll replace them all immediately, not a single one should stay," Wang Dali reassured, patting his brother's shoulder, then without a glance at the salesladies, he turned to Manager Ma behind him, "Manager Ma, replace these staff for me, what are they even good for..."
The news terrified Manager Ma as well; the big boss rarely cursed anyone, but now he was swearing, and he quickly waved his hand at the pale-faced salesladies, "What are you still standing around here for? Go settle your accounts with finance. Don't worry, you'll get your full pay, but forget about ever working for First-Class Residence again."
First-Class Residence, which was Wang Dali's real estate company, had made a name for itself in both Guangzhou and Shenzhen, providing top-notch housing and services. Naturally, the employees' compensation was also far superior to other real estate companies. Therefore, the salesladies were now filled with regret, as if it were all a bad dream. The big boss rarely visited once or twice a year, so of course, they would put on their best faces when he did. Especially those who thought highly of their looks, perhaps they could catch the wealthy Boss Wang's eye and wouldn't need to work so hard anymore. They could be a trophy wife; even though they knew Boss Wang was already married, being a mistress wasn't bad either. Besides, it wasn't like mistresses weren't everywhere these days. But they had not expected the couple from the mainland, whom they had looked down upon, to actually be connected to the big boss. And that the big boss, because of them, had let them go—such a good job, all lost in an instant, and being dismissed from First-Class Residence meant they would never be reemployed.
