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 want to participate and said she would just watch it at home.

Then, Hao Qiang contacted Han Qingying.

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

Considering that the elderly were old and not suitable for long-distance flights, Hao Qiang was unwilling to let the elderly travel and get tired.

Originally, Hao Qiang planned to invite Han Qingying and her grandmother to his home to spend the New Year together, but based on local customs, her grandmother believed that Han Qingying was not married yet and it was not appropriate for her to spend New Year’s Eve at Hao Qiang’s home, and 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 of the capital. The two had not been to the capital yet.

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

It is forbidden to buy 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 seats.

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

The ordinary audience seats are the families of various celebrity artists or relatives and friends of TV station leaders.

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

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

At the same time, Hao Qiang notified the housekeeper of the East Four Courtyard and asked him to arrange a nanny to clean it.

This three-entry courtyard has just been renovated. After a period of ventilation, it is suitable for living.

The courtyard is only about four kilometers away from Y TV Station, and it is very convenient to go back and forth.

As for the courtyards near Shichahai, the renovation progress is a little slower, but there is no problem in completing 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 her 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 have your own house, why go far away?

Hao Qiang’s parents visited the Imperial Capital for the first time and were full of curiosity about the city. They asked questions all the way.

About an hour later, the car 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 the group’s employees. His name is Ouyang Shaohua. He just graduated from university two years ago with a major in business administration. It happened that his family was in the Imperial Capital. Hao Qiang asked him if he was willing to help him manage the house in the Imperial Capital.

Ouyang Shaohua was certainly happy to do it. There was little work to do, but 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 went forward.

“Chairman, I finally waited for you!”

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

Hao Qiang patted him on the shoulder and expressed his gratitude: “Ouyang, you have worked hard.”

“It’s not hard. This job is great.” Ouyang Shaohua smiled honestly.

The next luggage handling work was done by the two accompanying bodyguards, and Hao Qiang didn’t have to worry about it.

Liu Fengqing looked at the house with red walls, gray tiles, carved beams and painted buildings, and couldn’t help complaining: “Son, I thought you bought a villa, but it turned out to be a bungalow.”

“Well, it doesn’t feel 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 unadorned, no different from other courtyard houses, but this was exactly the low-key and restrained style he pursued.

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 will favor courtyard houses.

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

This three-entry courtyard covers an area of ​​1,400 square meters, facing the river on both sides, surrounded by walls and green belts, and has excellent privacy.

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

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

Next to the main gate is a row of back houses, which are mainly used as servants’ residences and outer living rooms.

Ouyang Shaohua arranged two bodyguards to accompany him here.He also lives here.

Passing through the double flower gate, you will see the largest second courtyard.

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

Unlike traditional courtyards, the east and west wing rooms and the main room here are double-layer structures.

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

Uncles and aunts can choose to live in the east wing or the main room. There are two spacious bedrooms in the main room.” Ouyang Shaohua introduced, “The west wing has been transformed into an inner living room and a dining area.”

“When I came in, I felt very different.” Liu Fengqing was like Liu Laolao entering the Grand View Garden for the first time, and her initial contempt turned into surprise.

Especially after she opened the door of the west wing, she found that the interior decoration made her eyes light up.

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

On the ceiling, the traditional caisson pattern is 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 are laid before the floor is constructed, so there will generally be no dampness.”

“Oh, so that’s it, there are often dampness problems 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 cover room in ancient times and was mostly used for children to live in.

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

His parents continued to visit each room accompanied by Ouyang Shaohua.

At noon, the local 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 to participate in the rehearsal.

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