As the manager spoke, he gave Su Yan a knowing look—one that any man would understand. But with Liu Jie present, he didn't dare take the conversation further.
Su Yan imagined spending more time with Liu Jie in this place and thought it was a great idea.
"This building," he said. "How much does it cost to rent the entire property? And what would it cost if I bought it outright?"
The manager immediately responded, "The annual rent for the whole building is 80 million yuan. If you want to purchase it, it'll cost around three billion."
Hearing this, Liu Jie felt a bit suffocated.
Three hundred thousand was already an unimaginable amount to her, let alone three billion. For someone like her, the idea was simply overwhelming.
Su Yan, however, knew that three billion was a reasonable price for such a building in Shanghai's CBD, especially in 2008. If he waited a few more years, after real estate prices surged, the building's value could easily reach 15 billion.
"Alright," Su Yan decided. "I'll rent it for a year first."
The manager could hardly contain his excitement. "Young Master Su, are you sure you want to rent the entire building?"
His voice still carried a hint of disbelief. Su Yan's actions were just too extraordinary—almost inhumanly so!
"Of course," Su Yan confirmed. "But let's sign an agreement. If I decide to buy the building within the year, you must sell it to me for three billion, and the 80 million rent will be deducted from the purchase price."
The manager thought it over briefly. Given the building's total cost of 2.3 billion, most of which came from land acquisition, selling it for three billion would make his boss very happy.
"Young Master Su, you're incredibly generous!" he exclaimed. "I'll have the contract prepared right away!"
The manager quickly called the lawyer to draft the agreement.

Liu Jie gently took Su Yan's hand, unable to hide the shock she felt inside. Eighty million yuan spent just like that, to rent a building. But looking at Su Yan, who appeared completely unfazed, she felt as if he hadn't just spent 80 million, but merely 80 yuan.
This Jiaduobao investment had really made him a fortune.
"Su Yan, if you're renting such a large property, do you have any plans for the future?" Liu Jie asked, concerned. At 42 years old, she couldn't help but worry about Su Yan's financial future.
"Aunt Liu, don't worry," Su Yan reassured her. "I have a thorough business plan. Renting this building is definitely not a mistake."
Seeing his confidence, Liu Jie felt slightly relieved.
Half an hour later, Su Yan signed the contract and transferred the 80 million yuan.
"Young Master Su," the manager said, "the rights to this building are now yours for the next year. If you decide to purchase it within that time, just contact me."
After a few more words, Su Yan turned his attention to contacting a decoration company. He didn't finish his work until the evening.
Looking around at the newly acquired office space, Su Yan let out a sigh of relief.
"Aunt Liu, let's head back," he said.
Liu Jie glanced around the entire building, still feeling uneasy, but nodded. As they drove towards Biguiyuan, it dawned on her that Su Yan wasn't taking her home.
"Xiaoyan, aren't you taking me home?" she asked, confused.
Su Yan parked the car and, with a hopeful look, gazed at Liu Jie. He gently placed his hands on her smooth, beautiful legs.
"Aunt Liu, don't go home tonight," he whispered. "Stay here with me."
Looking at Liu Jie's slightly parted lips, Su Yan felt his hormones surge. She was the very embodiment of his adolescent fantasies, and the attraction was overpowering.
"No... no..." Liu Jie tried to object, but before she could finish, Su Yan leaned in and kissed her.
"Don't be so reserved," he murmured. "We agreed, just one kiss a week."
But when it came to Liu Jie, boundaries were easily blurred.
