Chapter 60: Honest Boss, Hurt Property
Chu Siqi said: "Boss, saving people is good, but it's really dangerous; you just acted impulsively."
Her voice was very low, because such words are truly inappropriate for a child raised under the red flag to say.
But the fact is just that.
Jiang Cheng took off his clothes, revealing his muscular build, folded the clothes, wrung them out with both hands, and water splashed onto the car's floorboard; Jiang Cheng raised his head and said: "Driver, when we settle the bill later, I'll add the car-washing fee; water got on the car, sorry."
The driver said: "Hey, this is all trivial; you're going to save someone, how could I take your car-wash money? That would make me feel guilty."
Jiang Cheng didn't argue with the driver about this; he turned his head to look at Chu Siqi, but Chu Siqi turned her face away to look out the window; the girl's earlobes were slightly red, probably because she had just been misunderstood by the driver, making her feel embarrassed inside.
Jiang Cheng said: "When I was very young, I went to the village pond alone to play; my foot slipped and I fell in; back then I didn't understand anything, I thought I was doomed, and I flailed wildly in the water."
Chu Siqi turned her face to look at Jiang Cheng.
Jiang Cheng continued: "Experiencing that kind of despair once, you can never forget it for a lifetime."
"It was a passing farmer I didn't know who saved me; he pulled me out of the water, muttered some curses, and just left."
"Sorry, I didn't know." Chu Siqi said, lowering her head slightly.
Jiang Cheng didn't speak; it was just a minor incident; he merely saw Chu Siqi was worried, so he explained briefly.
"Driver, pull over to the side ahead." Jiang Cheng suddenly said.
Because he saw a clothing shop by the roadside, and his own clothes were completely soaked, wearing them would surely be uncomfortable.
Moreover, Jiang Cheng had just checked the navigation; their destination was not far ahead, actually right beside this artificial lake.
So now, getting off the car to buy clothes, heading over later won't be a problem.
Of course, when getting off the car, Jiang Cheng paid the driver an extra two hundred, asking him to wash the car.
Although the driver delayed in every way, Jiang Cheng still shoved the money into his hand, then brought Chu Siqi into the clothing store.
While Jiang Cheng was buying clothes, the video of him jumping into the lake to rescue someone, which many people had filmed, had already been posted online in large numbers.
In the Phantom car behind them, Su Dad and Su Mom had just also seen Jiang Cheng's entire rescue of the little girl; then they saw Jiang Cheng get into a taxi, with a girl beside him.
First, talking about Jiang Cheng's rescue made them feel their daughter hadn't misjudged him; indeed he was a caring young man, although he was a bit impulsive, but that wasn't a big problem.
However, Jiang Cheng was accompanied by a girl, who was quite pretty, and both of them sat in the back seat of the taxi, which made Su Dad and Su Mom feel their daughter had misjudged him!
"Do you think we might have misunderstood?" Su Dad asked suspiciously.
Although they had this suspicion, they still didn't go up to look for Jiang Cheng.
Su Mom was still fuming, her eyes fixed on the window outside: "You men are all the same!"
Su Dad:!!! No, he's flirting with girls outside, what's that got to do with me?
However, Su Dad was thinking that after returning, he would have someone check Jiang Cheng's schedule today, as well as the girl beside him; if they really had an improper relationship, he would definitely let his daughter know, and he couldn't let his daughter be deceived!
The Phantom pulled up in a business district; the property management staff immediately came to greet them, enthusiastic and unrestrained, not for any other reason than because they were welcoming the new boss!
They had also just heard that the new boss was coming to take a look.
The landscaping design of the roads and buildings in the business district was quite good; except for the property management staff who came to greet, there seemed to be few people, the ground-floor shops were basically all closed, and throughout the business district from the gate inward, only two or three convenience stores were open.
"Is this place too desolate? Why is there no one?" Su Mom asked, looking left and right. The property management staff behind heard it, smiled, and immediately came over, preparing to say something.
Su Dad directly raised his hand and waved it off, stopping him.
Letting these people speak would amount to nothing more than a bout of bragging.
Su Dad himself explained: "This project was developed by another real estate company; it didn't take off, losing money, I bought it back at a low price."
"Others couldn't make it work, do you have confidence you can?" Su Mom asked.
The property management staff behind wanted to come up again to boast: "Our traffic is convenient, facilities are complete, we have the most professional"
Su Dad interrupted him again, saying: "Whether this rundown place can succeed or not doesn't matter; the ecology is inherently poor, it was a low-price purchase, mainly I just want to make friends with the people here."
The faces of the property management staff behind were worse than after eating bitter melon; they were responsible for boasting, but they ran into someone who says whatever he thinks, and more importantly, the other party is the boss, which is quite a slap in the face!
The stuff he was boasting about is utter garbage in the boss's mouth! "Is that Jiang Cheng?" Su Mom said, looking at a small group ahead.
Su Dad looked and said: "Indeed it is, but he changed clothes."
They saw Jiang Cheng bringing the girl who had been following him, along with several property management staff, entering a building ahead.
Su Dad turned around and asked the property management staff behind him: "What were those people just now doing?"
The property management staff behind, while the boss was speaking, had already noticed; he saw his colleague leading Jiang Cheng, and also that girl.
That girl, he had seen her yesterday.
Thus he said: "This is a new owner coming to our side, planning to rent a floor here for an office base; although no contract has been signed yet, after today's viewing it should be about settled."
Renting an office building?
Su Dad and Su Mom immediately became interested.
Su Mom said: "Should we go over and take a look?"
Su Dad had exactly that intention, saying: "Let's look, let's go look; we just won't tell him who we are."
Then he turned around and looked at the people behind him, saying to the dozen or so following: "Hey, Manager Liu, right? You have everyone else go ahead, just leave two people to come with me, and we'll go take a look together."
"Okay!" Manager Liu immediately nodded to arrange it, letting those with nothing to do go back first; he took two people and followed behind the big boss.
A group of people also walked toward the building that Jiang Cheng and them had just entered.
Area B Building 3.
…
Jiang Cheng had already bought new clothes and changed into them; bringing Chu Siqi, he followed the property management staff upstairs to view the premises.
Although this business district has few people, its location and environment are indeed good; one would expect the rent here to be relatively low.
So at a glance, it exactly matches his requirements.
"Boss, not bad, right?"
Chu Siqi, following behind Jiang Cheng, asked proudly.
