Qin Hao nodded slightly, "Mmm, get ready, today I''ll take someone to look at the office spaces."

    "Okay, Mr. Qin," Yu Jie nodded slightly in response.

    Qin Hao stepped out of the finance room and called out Tian Yamei, Yuan Qing, and Liu Man.

    He asked, "Which office space did you three think was good when you went to see them yesterday?"

    Enjoy new tales from empire

    Tian Yamei spoke up, "We looked at a few, and Shenghua Office Building is not only conveniently located and reasonably priced, but it''s also close to the downtown area."

    Qin Hao nodded slightly, "Mmm, okay, let''s go talk about it today."

    After leaving the roast duck restaurant, Qin Hao realized a big problem as he looked at the Jinbei van parked beside him.

    Should we really use this van for business negotiations? Isn''t that a bit too embarrassing?

    Tian Yamei seemed to sense his embarrassment and said with a smile, "Mr. Qin, you can take my car."

    After she spoke, she took out her car keys; parked not far away was a Honda Civic worth about a hundred thousand yuan or so.

    Qin Hao was somewhat speechless. An employee''s car is better than the boss''s. Wouldn''t people laugh their heads off if word got out?

    Seeing Yuan Qing and Liu Man trying to hold back their laughter, he said irritably, "If you want to laugh, just laugh. It''s uncomfortable to hold it in."

    "Pfft"

    Tian Yamei was the first who couldn''t help but laugh, "Mr. Qin, with your status, I think you should buy a car."

    Qin Hao was exasperated, "I know, just focus on the office spaces for now."

    Once in the car, Qin Hao sat in the passenger seat, with Yuan Qing and Liu Man in the back.

    Half an hour later, Tian Yamei drove them to the parking lot of the Shenghua Office Building.

    Getting out of the car, Qin Hao started to walk towards the building, but Tian Yamei quickly pulled him back, "Mr. Qin, it''s not good for you to go in like this."

    Qin Hao looked at her, puzzled, "What do you mean ''like this''? What''s the matter?"

    Tian Yamei reminded him, "In Jinchen City, those bosses always dress formally for business talks, wearing suits and leather shoes."

    She didn''t say the following words out loud, but if you don''t dress formally, the other party might look down on you, or feel you''re not respecting them.

    Of course, that''s when facing major clients. For negotiations like these, it''s not a big issue.

    But as a subordinate, she must remind her boss of some matters, so he wouldn''t stumble on such details in the future.

    Qin Hao nodded slightly, "Mmm, you''re right, people who''ve been to big cities do have more experience."

    After parking the car, Tian Yamei and the others followed Qin Hao into Fubang Real Estate sales office.

    "Welcome," said the receptionist at the front desk with a smile.

    Qin Hao immediately asked, "How much is that larger retail space on the side?"

    The receptionist replied with a smile, "This area is bustling and has a high foot traffic, so it''s priced higher, at eleven thousand and one hundred yuan per square meter.

    The larger retail space is over one hundred and seventy square meters, so the price is roughly one million eight hundred ninety thousand.

    Moreover, our properties are renovated, so sir, you only need to do some simple redecorating, and you can start your business right away."

    Qin Hao nodded slightly: "Take us to have a look, and if it''s suitable, I''ll buy it."

    "Certainly, sir, please wait a moment," the receptionist said as she hurried to get the keys.

    She then led Qin Hao and the others to inspect the retail space, which was quite large—big enough to operate a roast duck restaurant.

    Back at the sales office, the receptionist asked with a smile, "What do you think, sir?"

    "Hmm, it''s acceptable," Qin Hao nodded slightly.

    At that moment, two people came downstairs, a man and a woman.

    Liu Jianming said while descending, "Wang, arrange something for tomorrow; I want to entertain some friends."

    "Mm-hmm, okay, Mr. Liu."

    The young woman known as Wang was made up and dressed in a professional miniskirt with a decent figure, her face still flushed.

    It was unclear whether she was flushed from the heat or some other reason.

    As Liu Jianming reached the bottom of the stairs, several female sales associates on the first floor respectfully greeted, "Mr. Liu."

    Liu Jianming nodded slightly, and his gaze inadvertently fell on Qin Hao, causing him to freeze.

    "Isn''t that Hao?" After confirming it was Qin Hao, Liu Jianming hurried over, simultaneously casting a glance at Tian Yamei and the others.

    Both the receptionist and Tian Yamei''s group were taken aback.

    Qin Hao glanced at Liu Jianming and said with a faint smile, "Haven''t seen you in a few days, Mr. Liu, and you''ve gained weight again."

    Liu Jianming chuckled, "You''re joking, Hao. Even drinking water makes me put on weight, I really want to lose some."

    All the sales associates at Fubang Real Estate Company were stunned. When had Mr. Liu ever spoken so casually to someone?

    Who exactly was this person?

    The sales associate showing Qin Hao the property was also dumbfounded. You know our general manager, and you still come to us for...?
