Chapter 90: Taking Over the Office Space
The two of them lay there a while longer, and Qin Ze's mobile phone buzzed.
He picked it up and saw it was a message from Jiang Wan:
"President Qin, the property certificate and keys for the office space at Jiang City Center Building were delivered to the hotel front desk this morning."
Qin Ze replied with one line: Got it.
Then he turned over and got out of bed.
"Leaving already?" Shen Jingshu asked.
"Mm, I have something on today." Qin Ze let out a long breath.
Shen Jingshu sat up as well, the strap of her nightgown slipping down to her shoulder.
A stretch of pale skin was revealed.
"Then are you still coming over tonight?"
Qin Ze glanced back at her and laughed.
"Depends on how things go."
Shen Jingshu shot him a look:
"Fine, go handle your business. I'll head to the villa myself and tidy up."
Qin Ze finished getting dressed, walked to the bed, leaned down, and kissed her on the forehead.
"Call me if anything comes up."
Shen Jingshu nodded, watching him leave.
Qin Ze walked out of the room and closed the door behind him.
He took out his mobile phone and looked at Jiang Xin's message again.
The property certificate for Jiang City Center Building had arrived.
An eight-hundred-square-meter office space — now it belonged to him, Qin Ze.
A wave of satisfaction washed over him, and he dialed the property manager of the building he'd been in touch with last time.
The phone rang twice before connecting.
"Hello, Jiang City Center Building Property Center. How may I help you?"
"This is Qin Ze, the new owner of the office space in the building. I'm coming over today to do an inspection."
"Hello, President Qin!" The voice on the other end instantly grew warm and eager.
"I'm Manager Sun from the property office. Just give me a call when you arrive, and I'll come down to meet you!"
"Alright, see you in a bit."
After hanging up, Qin Ze dialed Su Qingqing.
"Brother Qin!" Su Qingqing's voice sounded quite alert.
"Are you up yet?"
"Up, up! Been up for ages!"
"Get yourself ready, come downstairs, I'll take you to see the company."
Su Qingqing hurriedly let out an "Oh!"
From the sound of it, this little lass was probably still half asleep!
Qin Ze finished speaking and hung up.
Then he gave Jiang Xin a call as well.
"Jiang Xin, head straight to Jiang City Center Building. I'll be there in a bit too."
"Understood, President Qin!"
Finally, he dialed Xiao Na.
"Xiao Na, do you have time today? Come take a look at your office space."
"If you're free, head straight to Jiang City Center Building!"
Xiao Na paused for a moment:
"Alright, I'll come over right now."
With everything arranged, Qin Ze walked out of the hotel lobby.
He had just reached the parking lot when he ran straight into the hotel manager, Chen Ming.
The moment Chen Ming spotted Qin Ze, his eyes lit up.
"Oh! President Qin!"
He strode over, his gaze landing on Qin Ze's brand-new BMW 740.
"President Qin, that's awfully fast to switch cars, isn't it?"
Qin Ze gave a small smile:
"It's alright."
"What do you mean 'alright'!" Chen Ming circled halfway around the car. "This BMW 740 — this is the Luxury edition, right?"
"Fully landed, it's gotta be over a million, right? Qin"
"First that Yangwang U8, and now a 740 — you change cars faster than I change shoes!"
Qin Ze laughed:
"Manager Chen, your mouth just keeps getting smoother and smoother."
"I'm telling the truth!" Chen Ming said with perfect seriousness.
"President Qin, during the few days you've stayed at our hotel, I've seen it all firsthand. That style, that capability — it's the real deal!"
"I've seen plenty of people with your kind of capability, but someone your age with that kind of capability — that's a first for me!"
For Chen Ming, there was only one reason to elevate Qin Ze!
That was his inability to gauge exactly who Qin Ze's powerful backer was!
So young yet so capable; without a powerful backer, it would be absolutely inexplicable!
And the influence of such a mysterious backer often surpassed that of mere wealthy tycoons!
Qin Ze waved his hand:
"Enough, I'm leaving now; I have matters to attend to."
"Got it! President Qin, take care on your way!"
Qin Ze pulled open the car door and settled into the driver's seat.
The interior of the BMW 740 was more luxurious than he had imagined: leather seats, wood-grain trim, a large central control screen, exuding refinement everywhere.
He started the engine, shifted gears, and drove out of the parking lot.
On the road, Qin Ze placed a call to Su Qingqing.
"Are you downstairs yet?"
"I'm down! Waiting at the entrance!"
"I'll be there shortly."
Three minutes later, the BMW 740 pulled up in front of the hotel entrance.
Su Qingqing wore a white dress, her hair tied in a high ponytail, looking fresh and clean.
"Brother Qin!"
She opened the door and climbed into the passenger seat.
Qin Ze pressed the accelerator, and the BMW 740 smoothly merged onto the main road.
Twenty minutes later, the car stopped beneath the Jiang City Center Building.
Qin Ze lifted his head, looking at this landmark structure of Jiangcheng.
The fifty-eight-story glass-curtain building reflected dazzling light under the sun.
People came and went at the entrance; white-collar workers in suits and leather shoes hurried by, holding coffee cups, their faces bearing expressions unique to office workers.
Suddenly, Qin Ze felt a surge of emotion in his heart.
Previously, he had squeezed onto subways daily, clocked in, attended meetings, worked overtime, and received that meager fixed salary at month's end.
But now, an entire floor within this building belonged to him.
"Brother Qin, is our company located in this building?"
Su Qingqing looked up at the skyscraper, her eyes filled with awe.
"Yes, nearly an entire floor of office space, a full eight hundred square meters."
Su Qingqing's mouth fell open:
"Eight hundred square meters..."
Soon, Su Qingqing saw a taxi pull up nearby, and Jiang Xin stepped out.
"President Qin!"
Today, Jiang Xin wore a professional outfit: a white shirt paired with a black hip-hugging skirt, her hair pinned up, making her appear significantly more capable.
Sexy yet intellectual; Qin Ze could barely tear his eyes away!
"Mm, we've arrived."
Qin Ze said.
Voice Just Fell, and a white Tesla Model 3 also pulled over to the roadside.
The car door opened, and Xiao Na stepped out.
Today she wore a black blazer over a white T-shirt, paired below with dark blue jeans and white sneakers.
She looked both professional and casual.
"Qin Ze!" Xiao Na waved at him.
"I never expected you to actually bring me to see office space today?"
Qin Ze smiled:
"I always keep my word!"
The three women followed Qin Ze into the lobby of the Jiang City Center Building.
The lobby was spacious, with a ceiling height of at least ten meters, marble flooring, and a massive water-feature fountain in the center.
Behind the reception desk stood two receptionists in uniform, their makeup exquisite and smiles warm.
Just as Qin Ze entered, a middle-aged woman in a black professional suit approached.
"You must be Mr. Qin, Qin Ze?"
The woman was in her early forties, with short hair and gold-rimmed glasses, wearing a highly professional smile.
"I am Manager Sun from property management; just call me Old Sun!"
Qin Ze shook her hand:
"Manager Sun, thank you for your trouble."
"No trouble at all, no trouble at all!"
"President Qin, shall I take you upstairs to have a look?"
"Sure."
Manager Sun led the way, with Qin Ze and the three women following behind her.
The elevator was a dedicated one, requiring a card swipe to select floors.
Manager Sun swiped her card and pressed the button for the twenty-eighth floor.
The elevator rose smoothly as Manager Sun introduced the situation beside him.
"President Qin, the commercial office area we have for sale on the twenty-eighth floor totals eight hundred and twenty square meters!"
"The previous tenant was a financial company engaged in quantitative trading; they did a fine job with the renovation."
"They later withdrew due to poor management, but essentially left all the office furniture behind, and it is all brand new."
"Water, electricity, central air conditioning, and internet are all connected and ready. If you find it satisfactory, you can move in anytime."
Qin Ze nodded.
