211: Buy an office building
After Chen Qiu hung up the phone, he toyed with his mobile phone.
"Last time he mentioned introducing me for a blind date, there wasn't much of a relationship of interest between An Yi and me. He likely just did it on a whim, so it wasn't surprising there were no results."
"But this time, An Yi should be putting some heart into it."
The corners of Chen Qiu's mouth curled slightly; he was still quite looking forward to blind dates with those 'young misses' from prominent families.
"Now that the city's verification is complete, the Medical Beauty Brand can also start its registration..."
Chen Qiu thought for a moment and sent messages to Song Xiangtong and Liu Qi one after another.
Of the two, one was responsible for company registration, and the other for the headquarters' site selection.
This Medical Beauty Brand was aimed at becoming an industry leader from the very start, so the headquarters' location naturally couldn't be sloppy!
Chen Qiu requested Liu Qi to directly buy a floor of an office building in the downtown CBD first.
Liu Qi, who was visiting relatives back home, was stunned after seeing the message, thinking Chen Qiu had made a typo.
She confirmed again.
"President Chen, is it to rent a floor of an office building or to buy?"
"Buy!"
After seeing the text sent by Chen Qiu, Liu Qi blinked her beautiful eyes, and her breathing quickened slightly.
When others start a new company, they rent an office or two storefronts and connect them... Those who rent an entire floor of an office building in the CBD are already relatively large companies!
Chen Qiu actually wanted to buy a whole floor directly?
Although housing prices in Gannan couldn't compare to those in first-tier cities, the unit price in the city center was still around twenty thousand.
A floor in a CBD office building is mostly over a thousand square meters; buying one floor would cost at least twenty million!
What kind of Medical Beauty Brand was President Chen opening, to invest twenty million right off the bat?
"President Chen, what about the budget?"
"Don't worry about the budget! As long as the floor is suitable!"
"Alright, President Chen!"
Liu Qi took a deep breath and suddenly realized something.
"Didn't we agree on a 7-day holiday?"
"It's only been six days and he's already ordering me to work."
"And it's not even work for the Cultural Industry Group..."
Thinking of this, Liu Qi felt a bit resentful.
Chen Qiu was treating her like a private secretary.
At this moment, the voice of a relative came from nearby again.
"Qiqi, you'll be thirty-three after the New Year. Still not looking for a boyfriend?!"
The corner of Liu Qi's eye twitched.
She had clearly just turned thirty and wasn't even thirty-one yet.
But in the eyes of the elders at home, one must add another year after the New Year.
So, this year she had inexplicably become a thirty-three-year-old old woman that almost nobody wanted!
"Qiqi, you have a high education, a good job, and you're beautiful, but your standards are just too high!"
"Look at your cousin. Although she only graduated from high school, she got married at 24, and her child is about to be born!"
"You're falling too far behind her!"
"How about I introduce you to a young man? Although he's a bit older, his family conditions are good..."
Liu Qi pinched the bridge of her straight nose, her face full of helplessness.
She didn't know what kind of mental stamp these relatives and elders had.
As long as you aren't married and haven't had children, any achievements you made in the first half of your life are unimportant, and your whole life is a failure!
As long as you are married and have children, even if you were terrible before, the future will be infinitely beautiful and happy.
At this moment, Chen Qiu's figure inexplicably surfaced in Liu Qi's mind.
If she remembered correctly, this young man president of hers also frequently went on blind dates.
At the thought that Chen Qiu, this hands-off manager, also had to face this kind of treatment during the New Year, Liu Qi's resentful mood inexplicably improved a bit.
Her red lips curled slightly. She glanced at the message Chen Qiu had just sent and said calmly to the group of relatives.
"My requirements aren't high."
"I'll marry him if he can buy me a whole building!"
Hearing this, a flash of astonishment appeared in the eyes of several relatives.
"A whole building?"
"Why don't you just go rob a bank!"
"Do you really think that just because you earned a bit more money, studied a bit, and are good-looking, you can treat yourself like a treasure?"
They were just about to lecture Liu Qi, but the latter didn't give them a chance at all.
"I have some urgent work, so I'll be going now."
After saying that, Liu Qi stood up and walked directly toward her Tesla.
Watching Liu Qi's tall and graceful figure get into the driver's seat and drive away, the relatives finally snapped out of it, shaking their heads incessantly.
"What a sin! I think she won't be able to get married in this lifetime!"
...While his head secretary was escaping using work as an excuse due to being pressured to marry, Chen Qiu happened to receive the auto show tickets sent by He Ting.
He Ting: "President Chen, then shall I push your WeChat to her?"
Chen Qiu: "Sure."
At the same time.
Bao'an Airport.
A tall beauty with her long hair tied up and wearing a coat was sitting in the waiting hall checking in.
That pair of long legs was wrapped in tight light blue jeans, highlighting the slender curves of her legs into an enticing arc.
She sat with her legs crossed, her toes twitching, causing the eyes of many people around her to involuntarily fall on that pair of legs.
Liang Yina held her phone, her manicured fingers constantly tapping on the screen, making a crisp sound.
After replying to several people's messages in a row, a notification popped up.
The other party has accepted your friend request.
"Added!"
A glimmer flashed in Liang Yina's eyes, and she directly clicked on the chat box.
"Hello, I'm Liang Yina."
"Hello, I'm Chen Qiu."
"Did you receive the tickets for the auto show? Do you have any friends who want to come together? I still have extra tickets."
"No need, I should be coming alone tomorrow."
Liang Yina's brow furrowed slightly.
This man was a bit colder than she had imagined!
"However, we just added each other on WeChat, it's understandable..."
"Once he sees me, he surely won't be able to hold back."
Liang Yina curled her lips confidently.
She wasn't old, but she had seen countless men.
Since her freshman year of college, she had been working part-time as various kinds of models.
With her outstanding appearance and a pair of long legs with heaven-defying proportions, the men pursuing her were endless!
When most of them first met her, weren't they all just faking being decent people?
But as soon as they came into contact, and she enticed them a little, they would immediately show their true colors!
For these men with no self-control, she could easily fish some money out of their hands.
However, she wasn't a fool either and soon realized that this wasn't a long-term plan.
But having grown accustomed to this way of making quick money, she had long since lost the heart to compete with others in professional skills.
Marrying into a wealthy family had become her current goal!
Liang Yina, who could get a lot of money from men just by relying on her body and beauty, originally thought this wouldn't be a difficult task.
Until she began to date those men with the goal of marriage, the situation changed!
Whenever she slightly revealed her thoughts, those men who were generous with money would immediately fall silent.
Liang Yina realized: she was being treated as a short-term option!
Giving money was fine, but asking for a status was out of the question!
Especially those men over thirty, each one was more shrewd than the last!
So, Liang Yina set her sights on young second-generation rich heirs.
Compared to those middle-aged and old fogies, second-generation rich heirs were more likely to act impulsively for love!
And wouldn't you know it, Liang Yina really did run into one of these rich second-generation heirs who was impulsive for love.
And he was the 'little puppy' type!
He loved to lie on her chest and call her 'mommy' the most.
The two had been dating for three months. Under her manipulation with rich experience, the 'little puppy' loved her to death and was extremely obsessed.
But just when Liang Yina thought no accidents would occur, an accident happened.
As soon as she expressed her thoughts about getting engaged, the other party began to hesitate.
This made Liang Yina extremely anxious and angry.
But whenever she got angry, the other party was willing to send money and apologize to appease her.
This made Liang Yina realize that the other party indeed liked her very much, but for some reason, his intention to marry her was wavering.
So, Liang Yina prepared to give the 'little puppy' a strong dose of medicine!
To give him a little stimulation!
