Chapter 91: Running Into the Boss

The elevator arrived.

As soon as the doors opened, an entire floor of expansive space stretched out before Qin Ze.

Floor-to-ceiling windows flooded the office area with excellent natural light; sunlight poured in, making the whole space feel vast and bright.

The floor was covered with gray carpeting, while overhead featured a minimalist suspended ceiling with strip lighting.

Dozens of sets of office desks and chairs were neatly arranged in the work area, all brand new, with some of the protective plastic film still not fully peeled off.

One glance made it clear that the previous company had spent serious money on renovations!

They had paid quite a price!

However, a thin layer of dust covered the floor, after all, no one had been here for several months.

Qin Ze walked in and looked around.

The view was indeed excellent.

At a height of twenty-eight stories, standing before the floor-to-ceiling windows offered a panoramic view of Jiangcheng's entire skyline.

"Holy shit..." Su Qingqing stood beside him, gazing at the scenery outside the window, unable to resist cursing, "Brother Qin, this place is too awesome, isn't it?"

"Smoking in front of this window must feel amazing!"

Qin Ze looked at Su Qingqing beside him and nearly lost his composure upon hearing those words!

Immediately, he looked at Su Qingqing and made a low-key joke:

"Fuck you?"

Hearing this, Su Qingqing didn't understand Qin Ze's meaning for a moment!

But once she realized what he meant, her face instantly turned crimson!

A moment later, Jiang Xin also walked over, standing before the window, her eyes full of brilliance.

"President Qin, working here... I dare not even imagine it."

Xiao Na walked straight into the office area, touched those office desks and chairs, then examined the sockets and network ports on the wall, a satisfied expression appearing on her face.

"Qin Ze, is this entire floor ours?"

"Actually, in the company's early stages, we won't even need one-third of this space!"

Qin Ze looked at her.

"I spent so much money; surely I didn't rent it just to raise mosquitoes?"

Xiao Na couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"But you're being too generous, aren't you?"

As she spoke, she walked to the floor-to-ceiling windows and spread her arms wide.

"Such a great office environment is something I never dared to dream of before!"

Qin Ze smiled:

"This is just the beginning; it will get even better in the future."

He turned around to look at Manager Sun:

"Manager Sun, how many independent offices are on this floor?"

"Let me show you!" Manager Sun hurriedly led Qin Ze further inside.

"Over here are three independent offices; the largest one used to be the Boss's office, about forty-plus square meters, complete with a private bathroom and a rest area."

She pushed open a glass door, revealing a spacious office inside.

It featured floor-to-ceiling windows, a rosewood desk, a leather boss's chair, and on the side, a three-seater sofa and a coffee table.

In the corner, there was also an independent bathroom and a small rest room containing a single bed.

If you got tired from working, you could rest directly!

However, Qin Ze felt that this bed might not have been placed there solely for resting!

Qin Ze scanned the room once and was very satisfied.

"I'll take this one."

Then he pointed to the adjacent office, which was slightly smaller in area and labeled 'Assistant Office'.

As the name suggests, it was meant for the Boss's assistant.

"That one is for Qingqing," Qin Ze said.

Su Qingqing was stunned:

"Brother Qin, I get an independent office too?"

Qin Ze looked at her, "You are my Secretary; wouldn't it be improper without an independent office?"

Su Qingqing froze for two seconds, then broke into a wide smile.

"Brother Qin, you're too good!"

She then pointed to another room:

"That one is for Jiang Xin, to serve as the Finance Manager's office."

He then looked at Xiao Na:

"The one next to it is the Deputy General Manager's office; it's yours."

Xiao Na raised an eyebrow:

"Deputy General Manager?"

Xiao Na smiled: "Alright, then I won't be polite."

Qin Ze walked around once more, inspecting the layout of the entire floor.

In his heart, he was actually very clear.

In prime locations like the Jiang City Center Building, among the office buildings therein, companies actually conducting legitimate business were not numerous.

Most of them were in finance, investment, or law firms, along with a few shell companies.

Genuine technology companies like his own were actually quite rare.

But that didn't matter.

What mattered was that Qin Ze's enterprise now had its first physical base of operations.

He walked back to stand before Manager Sun:

"Manager Sun, next, please hire cleaners to thoroughly sweep this entire floor; the cost is on me."

"No problem! I'll arrange it today!"

Qin Ze then looked at Su Qingqing:

"Qingqing, you're in charge of procurement."

Su Qingqing blinked: "Procure what?"

"Computers, printers, office supplies, and the equipment needed for the front desk."

"Check what's needed, make a list, buy it directly, and no need to report back to me."

Su Qingqing was momentarily stunned:

"Full authority given to me?"

"Yes, handle it as you see fit."

Qin Ze then turned to Xiao Na: "Xiao Na, how is the recruitment going on your end?"

Xiao Na took her mobile phone out of her bag and scrolled through it.

"The colleagues from Tengyi were all agreed upon beforehand; they all have solid technical skills."

"For operations and business development, I'm still looking for candidates."

Qin Ze nodded:

"When can we start work?"

"If you get the venue ready here, I can bring the team in this week."

"Alright," Qin Ze said, "then let's make it this week."

Xiao Na glanced at him and laughed.

"Qin Ze, since you're delivering on your end, I must deliver on mine."

"Rest assured, within two months, I will deliver the first phase of the product to you!"

Qin Ze extended his hand: "It's a deal."

By the time they exited the office building, it was already noon.

The sunlight was just right, warming their faces pleasantly.

Qin Ze checked the time: eleven-thirty.

"Let's go; I'm treating everyone to lunch today."

Su Qingqing's eyes lit up:

"Where are we eating?"

"Let's find a grand restaurant to celebrate the opening of our Qin Xiao Technology."

Jiang Xin spoke softly from the side:

"President Qin, shall I make a reservation?"

"No need; I know a place."

Qin Ze drove, taking the three of them to a restaurant ranked among the top for Chinese cuisine in Jiangcheng.

Jiang Yue Lou.

This restaurant was located by the river, decorated in an antique style, and rumor had it that the head chef used to work at a five-star hotel.

The average cost per person was not low; a single meal would cost at least two or three thousand.

Qin Ze had frequented this place often when entertaining clients before.

The four of them found a booth by the window with a view of the river.

Qin Ze ordered enough dishes to fill the table; since there were matters to attend to in the afternoon, he only requested two bottles of drinks.

As soon as the dishes arrived, Su Qingqing couldn't resist picking up her chopsticks.

Xiao Na sipped her tea, looked at Qin Ze, and smiled.

"Qin Ze, shouldn't you say a few words for this meal today?"

Qin Ze raised his wine cup and stood up.

"Then I'll say a couple of things."

"This meal today celebrates the official opening of Qin Xiao Technology Co., Ltd."

He looked at the three of them, his tone very serious.

"From now on, we are a team."

"You all just focus on working hard, and I'll focus on providing the funding, haha!"

Su Qingqing quickly raised her wine cup as well.

"Brother Qin, I toast to you; I'll drain it in one gulp!"

Jiang Xin also raised her cup:

"President Qin, thank you for trusting me."

Xiao Na was the last to raise her wine cup, smiling.

"Alright, no need to be so formal."

"This cup is a toast to Boss Qin!"

The four of them clinked their wine cups.

The crisp sound of glass colliding rang out particularly pleasantly in the bustling restaurant.

Just as Qin Ze set down his wine cup, a sarcastic voice came from beside him.

"Well, well, if it isn't Zeze?"

Qin Ze turned his head.

At the adjacent table, a man dressed in a dark blue suit with hair slicked back until it shone was looking at him with a smile.

It was none other than Su Qiang, his supervisor from his time at Jin Xun Technology.

Qin Ze's memories immediately came flooding back.
