Chapter 145: Chapter 105: Receiving His First Business

After ending his call with Chu Qing, Qi Sheng finally checked the extra rewards from his recent upgrade.

Without a second thought, Qi Sheng opened the small upgrade gift pack.

[Ding! Congratulations! You have obtained 100% ownership of Mingyu Financial Square!]

[Ding! Congratulations! You have received 10x Elite-level Talent Recruitment Cards!]

[Ding! Congratulations! You have received 2x Expert-level Talent Recruitment Cards!]

Qi Sheng’s lip twitched, a little disdainful of the system’s stinginess.

But soon, he couldn’t stop a foolish grin from spreading across his face.

Damn, the system actually rewarded him with a Grade-A office building!

Mingyu Financial Square was located in the heart of East Main Street by the Jinjiang River.

It represented an investment of over 1.2 billion yuan, boasted a 95% occupancy rate, and had an average rent of 120 yuan per square meter.

Even among the many Grade-A office buildings in Chengdu,

Mingyu Financial Square’s rent and occupancy rate were top-tier.

This kind of office building rarely ever came on the market.

The annual rental income alone was enough to make one’s hands go numb from counting cash.

But with the system involved, the impossible became possible.

Now, Qi Sheng not only had over 70 million in cash,

but he also owned a Grade-A office building worth 1.2 billion.

Even in a second-tier city like Chengdu, he could be considered a prominent figure.

As for the other two rewards, they paled in comparison to an entire Grade-A office building.

Still, you could never have too much talent.

There was no way Qi Sheng could manage such a massive office building by himself.

The talent provided by the system naturally put him more at ease. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

All he had to do as the boss was wait for the rent to roll in.

At this thought, Qi Sheng quickened his pace as he got ready.

He was eager to go and inspect the first billion-yuan-plus property of his life.

Before heading over to take possession of his new property, Qi Sheng first made a trip back to Yitai Tianjiao.

He took out the suit Tao Siyao had bought for him.

The moment he put it on, his entire demeanor changed.

’Sharp!’

Qi Sheng glanced at the Roger Dubuis on his wrist, thinking it didn’t quite match his sharp, suited-up look.

He decided he should get a more business-appropriate watch for occasions like this.

With over 70 million in cash, Qi Sheng felt no financial pressure whatsoever.

Only a watch costing tens of millions at an auction could make him feel the slightest sting.

A watch worth a few million? That was pocket change.

...

Zhou Huaiping, the general manager of property management for Mingyu Financial Square, was completely dumbfounded when he received the notice from the parent company.

’An office building with one of the best occupancy rates was actually sold to some young tycoon?’

If he hadn’t received repeated confirmation, Zhou Huaiping would never have believed something so absurd could happen.

But now, he had no choice but to wait anxiously to find out his fate under Qi Sheng.

’Any new boss would inevitably bring in his own people.’

To show respect for the new boss, Zhou Huaiping instructed everyone in property management:

aside from essential staff who couldn’t leave their posts, everyone was to go downstairs to welcome him.

When a blue BMW 7 Series was seen approaching the building,

Zhou Huaiping immediately jogged over and, with a beaming smile, pulled open the rear passenger door.

"Chairman Qi, welcome to Mingyu Financial Square. Everyone was so eager to greet you that almost all the property staff have come, aside from those who absolutely couldn’t leave their posts."

Zhou Huaiping cautiously sized up his new boss and was stunned by what he saw.

He was 6’2" and even more handsome than a movie star.

And to think this man was the new owner of an office building worth over a billion...

it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to call him the scion of some prestigious family.

If Zhou Huaiping was this impressed, one could only imagine the reaction of the female employees.

Seeing that their new boss was young, handsome, and fabulously wealthy—the complete package—

their eyes lit up, and they instantly turned into a gaggle of swooning fangirls.

It would be one thing if he were just tall and handsome, but he also owned a skyscraper worth over a billion.

He was a walking, talking diamond bachelor!

"I appreciate the warm welcome, but everyone should return to their duties now. President Zhou can show me around."

Qi Sheng’s approachable demeanor immediately earned him some goodwill.

"Yes, Boss."

The other employees bowed quickly before watching Qi Sheng and Zhou Huaiping enter the building.

Only after he was out of earshot did they dare to start whispering among themselves.

"Holy crap, is our new boss handsome or what? I don’t think any of the male celebrities in the Chinese entertainment industry are as good-looking as him."

"I don’t care if he’s handsome, I’m all about those long legs."

"Oh, give me a break. A guy that handsome and filthy rich? He’s probably got girlfriends lined up around the block."

"So what? If I could be his girlfriend, I wouldn’t have to work this crappy job anymore."

...

Qi Sheng surveyed the building’s main lobby.

The ceilings were nine meters high, giving it a very grand atmosphere.

Mingyu Financial Square was one of the first supertall skyscrapers in Chengdu.

"Supertall" refers to any building over 200 meters in height.

At 206 meters, Mingyu Financial Square just qualified.

Many of its tenants were Fortune 500 companies.

For example, Prometheus and the Bank of China.

Qi Sheng asked casually, "What hotel brand is currently operating in the building?"

"It’s the Hoya Hotel, which is owned and operated by the Mingyu Group itself. I also just received notice that their previous lease has been voided. Hoya Hotel is desperate to sign a new lease."

Speaking of which, Zhou Huaiping couldn’t help but inwardly grumble.

’God knows what the executives at Mingyu Group were thinking. Canceling the lease for their own hotel, of all things. It was like they handed the entire building over to Qi Sheng on a silver platter.’

"We’ll see."

Qi Sheng wasn’t particularly impressed with Mingyu Group’s in-house hotel brand.

’If I’m going to have a hotel, it should be a prestigious brand, or none at all. At the very least, it should be something that elevates the building’s prestige.’
