69: Chapter 68 Buying an entire floor

10:07 AM.

The door to the Zhisheng Finance analysis department was pushed open, and Manager Chen Danni walked in, her high heels clicking against the floor.

She wore a white shirt and wide-leg trousers, her ear-length hair was perfectly groomed, and her light makeup looked exquisite yet cold.

She was a completely different person from the charming vixen in a tight leather skirt who had melted into a man's arms the previous night.

She walked through the office area expressionless, her gaze sweeping over each workstation as usual, before heading straight to her private office.

The sound of her high heels vanished behind the glass door.

In the office area, a few employees huddled together, whispering in low voices.

"Sister Danni is late today, she only just arrived at ten."

"It's not just today; she's been asking for leave and leaving early for the past few days. That's never happened before."

"I wonder what's going on. Could something have happened at home?"

"Who cares? We're more comfortable when she's not around."

The whispers drifted through the air.

At a workstation in the corner, Qian Mengsheng stared at her computer screen, her fingers resting motionless on the keyboard without typing a single word.

She had heard those comments.

But she knew better than anyone why Manager Chen Danni was late today.

The scene she had witnessed when the movie ended last night was seared into her mind like a branding iron, and it still throbbed with pain even now.

Manager Chen Danni.

That female boss who was usually as cold as an ice cellar, that career woman who had the words 'independent woman' carved into her very bones.

Now, she too had become one of Zhang Qi's people.

Qian Mengsheng bit her lip, a layer of indescribable confusion welling up in her eyes.

Su Ran was the first, and now Manager Chen Danni had been added to the list.

What about her?

Was she still struggling with some sense of modesty and face?

When even a woman of Manager Chen Danni's caliber had lowered her status, wasn't it a bit ridiculous for her to still be pursuing some kind of pure love?

But, what should she do?

Should she just throw herself into his arms like Su Ran?

Qian Mengsheng's mind was a chaotic mess, and she couldn't figure it out at all.

Inside the office.

Manager Chen Danni sat in her large boss chair, finally letting go of the cold expression she had maintained the entire way.

She slumped back against the chair, her legs unconsciously pulled together and tightened, and a complex expression that was hard to distinguish between annoyance and shyness appeared on her face.

"Damn that Zhang Qi, I don't know how his body can be so good."

She muttered to herself, her voice slurred, and reached out to touch her chin and the corners of her mouth.

Her mouth was still sore even now.

Before leaving this morning, Zhang Qi's words, "There are many ways to repay me," and what happened afterward, made her feel unbearably ashamed just thinking about it now.

She had actually served him without any bottom line like that.

Manager Chen Danni squeezed her eyes shut, trying to banish those images from her mind.

The next second, she habitually opened her mobile banking app.

On the screen, in the current balance column, the figure of six million lay quietly.

The moment she saw this number, the lingering sense of shame in Manager Chen Danni's heart faded by more than half.

This was life-saving money.

What Zhang Qi had done for her was truly a debt of gratitude for saving her life.

Never mind what happened this morning; even if Zhang Qi made even more excessive demands in the future, she would have to accept it.

Manager Chen Danni took a deep breath, forcing herself to bring her focus back to work.

The most important thing today was to quickly fill this six million back into the company's accounts.

On the other side.

Yinhu Residence, Building 5, Room 901.

Zhang Qi had stayed in bed at home until noon before slowly getting up to wash up.

He changed into casual clothes, grabbed his car keys, went downstairs, and started up that matte gray porsche 911.

The low roar of the engine echoed in the underground garage.

Twenty minutes later, the sports car pulled steadily into the underground garage of Yunduan No. 1.

But this time, he didn't go upstairs to find Su Ran or Sun Yiyao.

Instead, he headed straight for the Sales Office.

Salesman Xu Sen was sitting at his workstation munching on a sandwich. When he looked up and saw Zhang Qi pushing the door open, he almost choked on the food in his mouth and sprang up from his chair like a spring.

"Brother Zhang!"

Salesman Xu Sen hurried over in two or three steps, the smile on his face even more enthusiastic than if he had seen his own father. "What brings you here today? Would you like something to drink? Coffee or tea?"

"No need, let's talk business." Zhang Qi sat down on the sofa in the reception area and got straight to the point.

"Building 1, Units 1202 and 1203—have they been sold? I want to buy them both."

Salesman Xu Sen was stunned for a moment, and then his pupils dilated sharply.

Units 1201 and 1204 were bought by Zhang Qi a couple of days ago, and now he wanted to buy 1202 and 1203.

He was going to bag the entire twelfth floor.

Salesman Xu Sen's heart rate accelerated as his brain worked at high speed.

He was so glad that he had been serving this big client impeccably over the past few days.

Just from Zhang Qi's orders alone, he would directly become the sales champion for the month, and even the quarterly sales champion was secure.

"Brother Zhang, please wait a moment, I'll check for you right away."

Salesman Xu Sen hurried back to his workstation, his fingers tapping quickly on the computer to pull up the sales records for the twelfth floor.

In less than a minute, he was back.

"Brother Zhang, 1203 is still available, it's a new unit, we can sign the contract anytime." Salesman Xu Sen paused, a look of slight embarrassment on his face. "But 1202 has already been sold. The owner didn't live in it after buying it; they rented it out directly."

Zhang Qi frowned slightly upon hearing this.

Four units per floor, three were his, but having someone else's tenant sandwiched in the middle didn't feel right no matter how he thought about it.

He wanted a complete private territory, not to share a corridor with a stranger.

With three of his women on one floor, having an unrelated outsider stuck in the middle just didn't feel perfect enough.

When Salesman Xu Sen saw Zhang Qi knitting his brows, his heart skipped a beat.

For a big client of this level, any frown from him meant he might lose out on a sky-high commission.

Salesman Xu Sen gritted his teeth and took the initiative to speak: "Brother Zhang, how about this? I'll contact that owner and ask if they are willing to resell it."

To be honest, this was a bit unscrupulous.

People had their nice homes, and if you suddenly called them to ask if they wanted to sell, if you ran into someone with a bad temper, getting a mouthful of abuse would be the least of it.

But Salesman Xu Sen couldn't care about that much now.

For a god-tier client like Zhang Qi, he had to serve him properly, even if it meant offending ten owners.

"Fine, contact them now." Zhang Qi nodded, his tone indifferent.

"Tell him I can pay a 20% premium."

Salesman Xu Sen gasped.

The average price of Yunduan No. 1 was over five million; a 20% premium meant paying over a million more.

Just to complete the whole floor.

This way of spending money was completely beyond his comprehension.

"Alright Brother Zhang, I'll get right on it!"

Salesman Xu Sen jogged over to his colleague's workstation to get the contact information for the owner of 1202.

Zhang Qi leaned back on the sofa, crossed his legs, and casually picked up the real estate brochure on the coffee table to flip through it.

1203 was a new unit, 5.3 million, the same price as the two he had bought before.

Plus the premium acquisition of 1202, today would be another expenditure of over ten million.

But it didn't matter.

He had just transferred six million to Manager Chen Danni this morning, and the balance in his card had dropped from 32 million to 26 million.

It was time to farm some rebates.

Two houses added up to over ten million; triggering the double rebate meant getting back over 20 million.

Not a loss, a huge profit.
