Chapter 916 - 957: Birthday Coming Up
"""After several hours of discussion unknowingly passed by, everyone briefly ordered some takeout for lunch and then carried on with their discussion. At first, everyone was a bit playful, but gradually they started to take it seriously, discussing what should be built where, from large villas and facilities to the smallest details of the landscape. Everyone had different views, and some places even sparked debates."""
"""Fortunately, the debates weren’t excessive; everyone just shared their own perspectives and then collectively thought about how to make things look better without any conflicts."""
"""Li Yifei was initially a bit worried, but seeing this, he felt quite reassured. Is this what a family is supposed to be like? It’s so harmonious."""
"""He let them collaborate on the internal designs, while Li Yifei himself predominantly focussed on the security design around the perimeter. This home wouldn’t just house his own family; for such a large place, the security measures had to be sufficiently robust."""
"""Fences and security measures were essential, and most importantly, there had to be some exterior security personnel. These personnel would need living necessities, and Li Yifei also considered making them truly comfortable here, including enabling them to marry and have children onsite. As for their children, they would also need to ensure adequate care, like education, nurturing them from a young age, making it easier to cultivate their loyalty. He could manage now, but in the future, it would depend on these next generations to bring fresh vitality to his family."""
"""Moreover, there would be domestic staff for the household. With such a large home, even cleaning would be a daunting task that wouldn’t be feasible for the family members to handle. Yiyi could manage now, and everyone would chip in, but that would be practically impossible later."""
"""Feeding all the people in the house was another major issue. His family needed meals, and so did other personnel; at the very least, they needed a large separate kitchen staffed with good chefs."""
"""And for such a large yard, gardeners were a must."""
"""These service personnel would also need accommodation. Unlike the security personnel, these staff wouldn’t necessarily be long-term; they could be rotated out."""
"""Upon consideration, Li Yifei realized that building such a place wasn’t particularly expensive. The real expense was maintaining ongoing costs for the home. If they couldn’t continue making money, even mountains of gold and silver wouldn’t withstand such consumption."""
