Chapter 468: Moving into the Office Building

Because of Fang Tian's business, Shen Yan had once visited the Yuan Xianghe Law Firm; that office building was imposing, and while the floor area wasn't particularly large, it was around eight hundred square meters.

Some floors were shared by several companies, while others were leased exclusively by a single company.

He Yichen's meaning was very clear: the people had moved out of the entire floor.

Accommodating a hundred or so employees would be no problem.

The key was that the office building was on the other end of Zijin Road, only two kilometers away from Hangzhou University.

It would be convenient for the staff to commute.

One could get there by riding a small electric scooter or a bicycle.

It was just a temporary office location, so Shen Yan couldn't be bothered to put in the effort to look for one.

He then asked He Yichen for the landlord's phone number.

On the first day after the holidays, the sky was shrouded in gray, gloomy clouds; on campus, the birds were singing and the flowers were fragrant, and the gentle breeze was pleasant, giving people an indescribable sense of comfort.

He parked the car opposite the teaching building.

For some reason, Shen Yan always felt that the gazes the surrounding students cast at him had become even more envious and admiring.

Especially those young girls, who wished they could glue their eyes onto him.

Shen Yan touched his face, which remained as handsome as ever, and asked Wu Yue'er, who had stepped out of the red Mercedes: "Have I become even more handsome? Why is everyone looking at me like that?"

Wu Yue'er shot him a playful glare: "Yes, yes, yes, you're so handsome you're falling apart."

"Giggle!" Chen Shanni couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh softly.

"It's probably because the news about someone living in a big villa in Shanghai has spread, so it's inevitable that everyone has some thoughts."

Shen Yan nodded in sudden realization, not taking it to heart at all.

Walking into the classroom, quite a few people were there enthusiastically discussing the big villa; seeing Shen Yan appear, they were as excited as if they had discovered a new continent.

"Holy crap!" Pang Weijie exclaimed on the spot: "Old Shen, it's gone crazy in school; you took over twenty people to Shanghai to promote food delivery, and those people are all staying in your big villa?"

He Hongliang: "I heard the garden alone is over a thousand square meters, and the villa is luxuriously beyond belief, with everything from a swimming pool and courtyard to a tennis court."

Tang Song: "Damn it, I probably won't be able to live in a big villa in this lifetime."

Yuan Mingqing: "Local tycoon! Do you still need a hanger-on to cling to your leg?"

Shen Yan laughed: "Stay calm, stay calm! Don't be so vulgar, okay? These are all just worldly possessions."

Hearing this, everyone felt incredibly sour.

Look at this showboating; even the Grandmaster would have to give a thumbs up and leave behind the words: "This lad is just like me!"

We are just that vulgar, and we are exactly lacking these kinds of worldly possessions.

Pang Weijie suggested: "Old Shen, can we go wander around your villa for the next class team-building event?"

The others' eyes immediately lit up; this was something that could work.

"The rooms over there haven't been tidied up yet, so if you went over, you'd only be able to sleep on the floor." Shen Yan wasn't the stingy type, he just didn't want to create trouble for himself.

There was no benefit to hosting them well, and if the hospitality was lacking, it would only invite all sorts of complaints.

In any case, he wouldn't do thankless work.

He Hongliang: "What kind of problem is that? Sleeping on the floor in a villa is as soft as a sponge."

Pang Weijie: "Exactly, exactly!"

Shen Yan laughed it off: "We'll see when the time comes; let me ask for the classmates' opinions first."

As he spoke, he cast a subtle glance at Luo Qiqi, who was sitting diagonally opposite him, with his focus on her "little white rabbits."

Hmm...

It seemed there was no change!

Luo Qiqi's pretty face flushed slightly, and she subconsciously puffed out her chest, wanting to highlight her feminine charm.

Under the successive stimulation, that feeling of swelling was definitely not fake.

If there was one bad thing, it was that this guy was always finding ways to make her do all sorts of unspeakable things.

Luo Qiqi felt like she was about to be played to pieces.

The "knowledge" in her brain was simply not enough, and her brain capacity was being expanded bit by bit.

Shen Yan chuckled inwardly, then walked straight to his seat.

Zhu Baoping, whose appearance had changed drastically, was sitting in the back row playing with his phone; with his spiked hair and designer clothes, his dark, rough face had clearly undergone some maintenance.

His looks had improved from below average to a common level.

What was astonishing was that this guy was actually holding a gold Apple 3GS in his hand, looking at himself in the mirror in a flashy manner.

Shen Yan couldn't help but tease: "Heh! Not bad, Zhu, you've even switched to an Apple phone."

Xiao Chuchu, in the front row, happened to hear this; her ears twitched slightly, and she turned her head to glance at the Apple phone in Zhu Baoping's hand with suspicion.

It really was!

Could this country bumpkin really turn his life around?

Strange things happen every year, but this year there are especially many.

Seeing this, Zhu Baoping was overjoyed inside, but his expression remained indifferent.

A faint smile hung on the corners of his mouth.

"Haha! It's alright, I just made a windfall recently."

On the other side, Lin Yang couldn't help but mutter: "Staying out all night every day, who knows if that money is clean."

Hearing this, Shen Yan's expression became strange; a while ago, this guy was staying out all night every day, and during the day he was listless, just like someone who had been drained dry.

Now he had suddenly become so wealthy and arrogant.

This situation... it didn't seem any different from being kept by a rich woman.

Holy crap! Back at the campsite, he had once mentioned something like that.

Could it be that this guy actually listened?

Thinking of this possibility, Shen Yan was dumbfounded, and could only say "awesome"; being able to endure what ordinary people cannot, such a person deserves to succeed.

Hearing this, Zhu Baoping was like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, instantly bristling; he pointed at Lin Yang and cursed: "People with black hearts see everything as black; you just can't stand to see me doing well, able to afford an Apple phone while you can only use a broken Nokia."

Lin Yang sneered: "Why are you so agitated? Could it be that you have a guilty conscience?"

"Who has a guilty conscience? I just can't stand your sour, bitter face."

"Ridiculous! Do I need to be jealous of you?"

Shen Yan was speechless; according to fortune-telling, these two guys were definitely destined to clash.

It was fortunate that he had moved out of the dormitory early.

Otherwise, living in an environment with flies buzzing around all day, he would surely go crazy.

It really is hard on Tang Song, this big brother!

After hanging out in the classroom for a lesson, Shen Yan took the opportunity to slip over to the office building; Yuan Xianghe Law Firm was located on the 15th floor, and the floor above was completely empty.

Adding some office equipment would make it a pretty decent office space.

He asked for the price.

Currently, the rent for office buildings was not expensive, averaging between 0.7 and 1.5 yuan per square meter; this floor was 800 square meters, which came out to an annual rent of just over 200,000.

Shen Yan made the decision on the spot to rent it.

Next, he found a furniture company for a full design, then had the walls painted a little and the facade touched up.

By mid-May, the company officially moved out of the campus and into the office building.

The employees were all as excited as if they had been injected with adrenaline, looking around; they had witnessed the company's growth bit by bit, and it felt like watching their own children grow up.

Shen Yan waved his hand grandly and declared with great ambition: "This is just the beginning; this is definitely not our final stage. In the future, we will own an entire office building belonging to Yancheng Technology, just like the Tencent headquarters.

I hope you can keep up with my pace and not get thrown off the bus halfway."

"Yes!"

The employees answered with high spirits.

Developing at this speed, that day did not seem out of reach.
