Xiao Youzi arrived at the site early, holding renovation drawings and budget details, and stood aside to supervise, accompanied by a key member of the finance team.
"Ms. Ruan, after the partition wall is removed, the wall surface needs to be treated first before applying latex paint. The E0 grade latex paint you specified has been delivered, and the test report is here." The head of the renovation team walked over with the test report and respectfully handed it to Xiao Youyi.
The young Jewish man took the report, carefully reviewed it, and only after confirming that all indicators met the standards did he nod and say:
"Okay, put the materials in a cool, shady corner to avoid direct sunlight. Make sure the base layer is properly prepared; the wall surface must be smooth and free of cracks. I will focus on checking these areas during the subsequent inspection."
Pointing to the leisure area on the blueprint, she added, "Water and electricity interfaces should be reserved here to facilitate the placement of leisure tables, chairs, and green plants later. The water and electricity lines should be laid in accordance with the specifications and waterproofed to avoid problems later."
After explaining the details, Xiao Youyi walked to the shop entrance, watching the workers carry out the construction in an orderly manner. His fingertips lightly traced the wall surface, and he was calculating the details of cost control in his mind—the labor cost of base treatment, the wastage rate of latex paint, and the cost of water and electricity renovation. Every expense had to be precisely controlled to ensure quality without exceeding the budget.
At this moment, Fang Zhanbo also arrived at the scene, holding a preliminary cooperation agreement with the chain tea restaurant.
"Little Jew, the cooperation agreement for the tea restaurant is basically finalized. They've agreed to our terms for moving in, and we'll start preparations once the renovations are complete." Fang Zhanbo handed over the agreement, his tone humble. "There's also been progress on the beauty store side. The brand will send someone over tomorrow to conduct an on-site inspection and confirm whether the layout and decoration meet their requirements."
The young Jewish man took the agreement, quickly glanced through it, and said softly:
"That's great. The payment method in the cooperation agreement should be clearly stated and synchronized with our renovation progress. When the brand visits, I'll also be here to coordinate with them on the needs for water and electricity, and display, to avoid rework later."
The two communicated for a while on site and clarified their respective tasks. Fang Zhanbo went to coordinate the brand inspection, while Xiao Youzi stayed on site to supervise the construction and ensure that every step was carried out according to plan.
At midday, the courtyard of the seaside villa was warm and inviting.
He Min was playing with the children on the lawn, flying kites. Her youngest daughter, clutching the kite string, ran around with her face flushed, while her eldest son helped guide her. Laughter filled the courtyard. Ye Haoxuan sat in a wicker chair in the courtyard, holding the financial documents brought by Xiao Youyi, slowly flipping through them. Occasionally, he would look up at the playing children, his eyes full of tenderness.
Serena brought over a cup of freshly brewed flower tea, placed it on the coffee table next to the wicker chair, and said softly:
"Haoxuan, all the plants on the golf course have been watered. The cherry blossom buds are growing very well, and they will sprout new leaves in a while. I had some daisies planted along the edge of the course. They are both pretty and easy to care for, and the children can pick them there later."
Ye Haoxuan nodded and smiled: "Thank you for your hard work, Serena. That's what a golf course should be like—elegant for business receptions and relaxing for families. Once the logistics park passes inspection and the shops are expanded, our family will go to the golf course for a picnic and have some fun."
As they were talking, He Min walked over with her youngest daughter, who was holding a freshly picked daisy. She handed it to Ye Haoxuan.
"Dad, here's a flower for you. Mom says this one is the prettiest."
Ye Haoxuan took the daisies, placed them in the vase on the coffee table, reached out and ruffled his daughter's hair, and said gently, "They're so beautiful, thank you, baby."
He Min sat on a rattan chair to the side, picked up a pastry and handed it to Ye Haoxuan:
"Little Jew called me this morning and said the shop renovation is progressing smoothly and the materials are all up to standard, so you can rest assured. How about the logistics park? How are the preparations for the inspection going?"
“Robinson and Cola are keeping an eye on things, so there shouldn’t be any problems.” Ye Haoxuan took a bite of his pastry, his tone confident. “They are very meticulous in their work and have made thorough preparations beforehand. This inspection is just a formality. Once the logistics park is operational and connected with the docks and shops, our industrial chain will be more complete, and we will have more confidence in doing things in the future.”
In the afternoon, at the logistics park, Cola and Robinson were conducting their final simulation exercise before the acceptance inspection.
The liaison personnel performed their respective duties, guiding the "simulated acceptance team" to inspect the park layout, fire protection facilities, and environmental protection equipment. Every step was smooth and natural.
"Very good, keep it that way. Maintain this attitude on the day of the inspection, be humble, and answer questions accurately without being vague."
Robinson watched the drill and said with satisfaction, "Everyone, please work hard tonight to clean the park again and check all the equipment to make sure everything is in perfect working order."
At a shop construction site in Causeway Bay, Xiao Youzi is checking the cost list for water and electricity renovations.
The worker, holding the list, explained the details of each expense item one by one:
"Ms. Ruan, this is the cost of materials for the water and electricity lines, and this is the cost of labor. We calculate the cost based on the actual amount used, and we haven't overcharged you by a single penny."
The young man used a calculator to check the numbers one by one, occasionally asking questions, which the workers patiently answered until they confirmed that all the expenses were reasonable and compliant before signing the list to confirm.
As evening fell, the setting sun cast a golden glow over the logistics park and Causeway Bay.
In the logistics park, staff are carrying out final cleaning; in the shopping district, construction workers have packed up their tools, finishing a day's work; in the seaside villa, He Min is preparing dinner in the kitchen, while children chase and play in the courtyard, creating a warm and cozy scene.
Robinson and Cola finished their preparations for the logistics park and had a simple dinner together.
"We'll do one last check on the documents and equipment tomorrow, and then we can get it accepted smoothly the day after tomorrow."
Cola took a sip of tea, a relieved smile spreading across his face. The long hours and overtime he had spent working late into the night were finally about to pay off.
Robinson nodded, his tone steady: "The acceptance inspection is only the first step; the subsequent operation is more important. Once the inspection is passed, we will start coordinating with the port and connecting with the industries under Hung Hing Group to make the logistics park truly effective."
As night deepens, the lights of Causeway Bay gradually illuminate the shops under renovation; in the logistics park, emergency lights flicker with a warm yellow glow, guarding the fruits of careful preparation; the lights of the seaside villas are warm and bright, concealing the most secure happiness.
Every effort Hung Hing makes lays a solid foundation for long-term development. The bell for acceptance is about to ring, and a brand new business chapter will slowly unfold amidst this solid preparation.
