082. Rent The Whole Building?

Liu Jie felt nervous and shy at the same time.

Only she knew how embarrassing it was to kiss a young man who was 24 years younger than her.

But she had agreed to kiss Su Yan herself, so now…

There was no way to avoid it.

She could only kiss Su Yan reluctantly.

After a while, Su Yan finally let go of Liu Jie and drove in the direction of Lujiazui.

On the way, Liu Jie kept thinking about the kiss with Su Yan.

This kid was really over the top—it lasted ten whole minutes before he let her go.

But at least, as agreed, he wouldn't go too far with her for the rest of the week.

Thinking about this, Liu Jie felt a bit more relaxed.

"Xiaoyan, where are we going?"

"We're going to Lujiazui, the CBD in Shanghai."

The CBD of any city is always the most prosperous part of the area.

Su Yan's company was bound to become the world's number one investment bank, so the location for the office couldn't be taken lightly.

"What's a CBD?"

Once again, Liu Jie felt her own ignorance.

She had no idea what a CBD even meant.

"It stands for the central business district of a city," Su Yan explained.

"You can think of it as the area where all the big, powerful companies gather to do business."

"The CBD is the heart and soul of a city, the most vibrant and prosperous part."

Liu Jie nodded in understanding.

Looking at the young man beside her, she couldn't help but feel a sense of admiration rising in her heart.

Su Yan really was knowledgeable—he seemed to know everything.

Every time she thought about that advertising slogan, she couldn't help but feel emotional, knowing that it had been Su Yan's idea.

In this world...

There probably weren't many people who could match Su Yan's talent.

At least, someone like Bill Gates might be a worthy comparison.

"It must be expensive to open a company in Lujiazui," Liu Jie remarked.

"But then again…"

"Xiaoyan, your Jiaduobao company is so big now."

"The company really needs to be in a more prosperous area to fit its status."

Su Yan smiled and said, "Aunt Liu, my company…"

"It's not just about selling herbal tea. There's a lot more business coming up."

"Aunt Liu, have you thought about joining my company?"

"Your current job seems tiring, and the pay isn't great."

"Give me some time to think about it," Liu Jie replied.

…

This boy is too much, Liu Jie thought.

If I really go work for him, kissing once a week will probably turn into kissing every day.

And after that… who knows what might happen?

She didn't dare to imagine it.

After a while, the highly prosperous Lujiazui area came into view. Liu Jie's eyes sparkled with wonder.

All women love bustling, lively places, and Liu Jie was no exception!

However, at the age of 42, her desires had tempered over the years.

As Su Yan drove along the Huangpu River, he was already planning.

Once the copper mine deal went through, he would buy a villa here.

Living in a villa in the urban area was the only choice, especially with his company opening nearby.

After they arrived at the high-tech park, Su Yan called the person in charge of a newly built commercial building.

The person quickly replied, saying he would come downstairs to greet them.

"This building is really tall—it must be over 30 floors!"

"Aunt Liu, this building has a total of 38 floors."

Liu Jie was shocked. "The rent must be astronomical for just one floor."

"Maybe two to three million a year?"

Su Yan nodded. "Absolutely, the rent here is very expensive."

Su Yan's plan wasn't just to rent one floor—he was planning to rent the entire building.

Once the money from the copper mine deal came in, he intended to buy the whole building outright.

For now, he was eager to get started with the renovations, as opening his company was already on his agenda.

"How many floors are you planning to rent?" Liu Jie asked as she looked around the area.

At that moment, she felt a sense of separation between here and the suburbs where she lived.

Though both were part of Shanghai, the difference in prosperity between the two areas was stark.

It was like comparing the old rental apartment she lived in to Su Yan's luxurious mansion.

Not long after...

A chubby man with a kind face ran downstairs.

"Young Master Su," he greeted Su Yan politely. "You've arrived."

"Mm," Su Yan responded.

"Young Master Su, all the floors in this building are brand new, and they've just become available for use."

"Every floor is empty. How many would you like to rent?"

"Whether you want to rent or buy, I can assist you."

Su Yan looked up at the building and asked, "How much would it cost to rent the entire building?"

His words stunned both the man and Liu Jie.

'Rent the whole building?'
