Chapter 62

The people who came were exactly the officials of this district.

They had just received a phone call, hearing that the big boss, Boss, had come to their district.

No matter how wealthy a merchant is, they're still just a merchant, but when a business reaches this level, Boss Su is seen by officials as more than just a merchant—he represents money, tax revenue, and development! Yongligongyequ was purchased by Boss Su! So the district chief brought a group of people intending to meet Boss Su.

But as soon as they arrived here, they heard that Boss Su was leading people to look at the office building.

Who could make Boss Su personally lead them to view the office building? This made the district chief very curious.

On the way, he made many guesses.

But after going upstairs, they saw Jiang Cheng was a young person, probably a college student who hadn't graduated yet.

The district chief had only one thought in mind: "He might be Boss's son-in-law!"

He knew Boss Su had a daughter teaching at Modu Daxue, and she had not yet found a partner; recently a rumor had circulated about her.

Because it was the first time cooperating with Boss Su, letting Boss Su bring investment to their side, during this period the district chief has paid more attention to Boss Su.

Back then he wondered whether Boss Su's daughter's partner might be a student from Modu Daxue! Now seeing Jiang Cheng, with Boss Su accompanying him to view the building, he couldn't help but suspect this was Boss Su's daughter's boyfriend!

"Hello, District Chief! What wind blew you here? I'm just stopping by to take a look!" Su's father also greeted with a smile.

After shaking hands and exchanging a few pleasantries, the district chief turned his gaze to Jiang Cheng, smiling kindly and asked: "Young man, are you looking to rent an office? How does it look? Isn't the environment nice here?"

Jiang Cheng had only come to select a site for his studio; he wasn't particularly interested in these strangers who had rushed over, but from the surprised and astonished looks of the property staff, he could tell these people were likely not ordinary.

"The location is okay, but the price is a bit high; this place is completely empty and not exactly prosperous." Jiang Cheng spoke bluntly—he was just a customer looking at properties, didn't know these people, and had no need for pleasantries.

Moreover, he lacked ability, so others wouldn't befriend him just for his politeness! The property staff wanted to say something, but Su's father interrupted, saying directly: "Comprehensive—just now I already said it's completely free."

As soon as the newly arrived district chief heard Su's father's words, his eyes flashed and he thought to himself, "Surely there's a way in!"

Although he still couldn't be entirely certain that the young man before him was Boss Su's son-in-law, from Boss Su's attitude he could see the importance placed on this youth! He had already made up his mind: whether to give Boss Su face or otherwise, today he definitely couldn't let this young man leave disappointed.

Jiang Cheng wasn't thinking as much as the district chief imagined; he shook his head and said: "That's unnecessary. Saving lives was voluntary on my part; one matter is one matter, business is business. Mixing the two together would inevitably bring unnecessary trouble."

Su's father hadn't expected Jiang Cheng to refuse; in his view, the reason he gave was already sufficient—he had directly offered free rent, which most people would take advantage of, but Jiang Cheng refused! Moreover, he heard the nuance in Jiang Cheng's words about avoiding unnecessary trouble later; this underlying mindset actually showed Jiang Cheng's inner desire not to leave loopholes in such matters, to avoid future worries.

Actually, this is also what Su's father has cared about most in his many years of business: keeping business separate from personal favors, one matter for one matter! Otherwise, if a problem ever arises, it's easy to lose big over small things and damage one's reputation.

Standing beside Jiang Cheng, Chu Siqi looked somewhat anxious.

Just now, hearing the big boss across from them say the rent would be completely waived, she was overjoyed.

But her own boss actually refused! This left her unable to understand no matter how she thought about it, yet she dared not say more! Jiang Cheng also didn't say much; he simply watched Su's father, waiting for him to name a price.

260,800 per year—on that basis, in Jiang Cheng's view it really couldn't be reduced much further; however, he thought there might be other policies, like paying a deposit and then paying in installments. After all, this industrial zone is really empty! Seeing Jiang Cheng's gaze, Su's father could sense his determination—not just empty pleasantries, but a genuine unwillingness to casually accept his unconditional free rent.

So after thinking, he said: "Young man, rest assured—I'll give you three years of free rent. This isn't just empty talk I made up, nor am I favoring you because you saved someone."

"You're a college student, right?"

Jiang Cheng nodded and said: "Yes, I'm a sophomore at Modu Daxue."

Su's father naturally already knew this information; he said: "Our industrial zone is currently vigorously attracting investment and supporting student entrepreneurship. We happen to have three support targets—we'll select quality enterprises and provide them with three years of rent-free support!"

"Really?" The property staff were stunned! "What is this?"

"Never heard of it?"

Jiang Cheng was also surprised, looking at the property staff and asking: "Is there such support?"

"I"—Property Manager Liu was put on the spot; as the top manager here, he could honestly say there really wasn't such a policy! But when Su's father interjected on the topic: "Now there is—an announcement will be issued before this afternoon's shift ends."

Property:. Jiang Cheng:. District Chief: "Really?" The district chief was stunned—was the subsidy scheme decided on the spot? He was thinking just that when he saw Boss Su Bancheng glance at him and say: "District Chief, I heard you might have some preferential policies here—any tax subsidies?"

The district chief was taken aback—this really doesn't exist; he himself didn't know about it!

The people following behind the district chief also looked at each other, bewildered.

"Never heard of it?"

But the district chief's words left them even more dazed!

All they heard was the district chief saying: "Yes, yes, yes—there is a tax subsidy!"

"It's mainly to support college students, to support student entrepreneurship!"

"District Chief, we haven't yet—" someone behind the district chief said.

The district chief immediately cut him off, glaring at the clueless person and saying: "It will be ready before this afternoon's shift ends!"

"Really?" The group behind Chief Qu stared wide-eyed.

They all looked curiously at Jiang Cheng, wondering what identity this young man actually had to enjoy such privileges! Jiang Cheng sighed inwardly, knowing the situation was already set and nothing he said could change it.

However, it seemed all of this was to his own benefit. Standing behind Jiang Cheng, Chu Siqi now also understood—he only felt the boss was truly amazing, not only getting the industrial zone's boss to waive rent, but even having the district chief provide tax subsidies for the boss's company!

"Alright, let's settle it like that." Little Liu, you'll get the contract ready later for Mr. Jiang to sign! The property general manager hurriedly nodded in agreement.

Su's mother suddenly interjected: "Jiang Cheng, right? Young man, do you have a partner?"
