11: Take over office building

Father Shen sat on the sofa, looking at his son and daughter beside him, and warned them with a serious expression:

"Get along well with Jiang Chuan from now on. A man like him is bound to achieve great things in the future. This little fox possesses traits that most people lack..."

Shen Jincheng said with a smile, "Old Third and I have shared a classroom, shared a trench, and shared a... I almost let that slip." Seeing them both staring at him intently, and his father's hand already resting on the seven wolves, he quickly changed his tune.

"The bond of bleaching our hair together! Brothers for life, definitely!"

Seeing his father's hand move back, he let out a soft sigh of relief. "That was close... I almost got a sequel to the seven-fold beating from this afternoon!"

Shen Ningning withdrew her gaze, a bit disappointed that the show was over. She pondered, "What kind of traits? Intelligence? I heard his family background is quite poor. Is it perseverance?"

Father Shen shook his head and said, "No, it's shamelessness! And it's the ultimate level of shamelessness! His skin is thicker than city walls!"

Shen Ningning: ... Shen Jincheng: ...

Jiang Chuan lay on his bed, sending messages in the dormitory group chat. Everything had been arranged; now he could leech off... no, start a business with his brothers.

[Jiang Chuan: Brothers! Second Brother and I are starting a live streaming company. You guys in?]

[Shen Jincheng: ???]

[Dorm Leader Zhang Mingzhe: I don't understand any of that, so I think I'll pass.]

[Pan Renxing: Yeah, Third Brother, I just got home. Let me get some rest!]

[Jiang Chuan: I'm serious! The funding and the office building are ready. All we need now are people. I need your help!]

[Zhang Mingzhe: I'll be there tomorrow!]

[Pan Renxing: Are you really doing this? Then you've got to count me in. I'm booking my ticket right now!]

[Jiang Chuan: No need to rush to Falling City yet. I'll give you a list. Help me find these people. Once you find them, sign them at any cost! Send the bill to Second Brother for reimbursement!]

[Shen Jincheng: ???]

[Pan Renxing: You can count on us!]

Jiang Chuan continued to paint a rosy picture, feeding his brothers well before the battle began. Then, a private message from Shen Jincheng popped up.

[Shen Jincheng: Old Third, you're way too shameless! When did I ever start a company with you? And where am I supposed to get the money to reimburse them?]

[Jiang Chuan: Second Brother, oh Second Brother, that's your problem. What's our relationship? We're the dearest of friends, brothers in arms! My company is your company. Besides, a tall, rich, and handsome guy like you, surely you're not short on that little bit of cash?]

[Shen Jincheng: That actually makes some sense. Fine then, this tall, rich, and handsome guy will help you out once. Just remember to pay me back when it's over.]

Jiang Chuan brushed off Second Brother and stayed in his room, having a simple dinner. He then found a large tech company online.

He spent a large sum of money to have a custom live streaming app built in a short time. Xinghui Live Streaming was about to take the stage!

At 8:30 AM, Jiang Chuan sat in the seat of a business van and set off on time to pick up Shen Ningning and Second Brother.

Now that the company formation, app development, and talent recruitment were all underway, it was time to renovate the office building provided by the system. It didn't need to be extraordinary, but it had to at least meet the daily requirements for live streaming.

Arriving at Jinxiu Mansion, Shen Ningning stood at the entrance of the residential area with a parasol, her face partially obscured. Perhaps because she was going to the company, she was dressed quite formally in a white V-neck shirt and loose trousers, wearing black high heels. She looked valiant and heroic.

As for Shen Jincheng, he was naturally selectively forgotten by Jiang Chuan. What was there to see in a grown man?

Jiang Chuan rolled down the window and waved at the two. Shen Jincheng, unable to bear the heat, saw the car and quickly ran over, wanting to get in.

Jiang Chuan reached out to stop him and gestured toward the front, saying, "You go to the passenger seat. We'll be buying things later and putting them in the back. Let Sister Ning sit here."

Shen Jincheng grumbled as he got out and headed for the passenger seat. Shen Ningning naturally didn't want to sit in the front anyway and was satisfied with the arrangement. She folded her umbrella and sat down next to Jiang Chuan.

Once the car started moving, Jiang Chuan said, "Sister Ning, you're dressed very beautifully today. You look just like a female CEO."

Shen Ningning snorted coldly. "Yesterday you called me 'niece,' and today it's 'Sister'? My dad was absolutely right about you."

Jiang Chuan asked in surprise, "Wasn't I just drunk yesterday? What did Uncle say about me?"

"He said your skin is thicker than city walls!" Shen Jincheng chimed in.

Jiang Chuan kicked the passenger seat and said irritably, "You talk too much! There goes a month of your salary!"

The office building rewarded by the system, "Yinxin Center," was located in Falling City's commercial center. A subway station was nearby, which was why most office buildings were situated there.

It was currently the morning rush hour, and the traffic was heavy. The three of them got out nearby and walked to the company.

Jiang Chuan didn't fail Father Shen's expectations. As soon as they got out of the car, he ducked under Shen Ningning's umbrella and said shamelessly, "Sister Ning, let me hold this for you. I'll make sure the sun doesn't touch you."

Shen Ningning gave him a look with her beautiful almond eyes and handed him the umbrella, asking, "How much further? If I'd known, I wouldn't have worn high heels."

"The map says ten more minutes. It should be just up ahead."

Shen Jincheng, navigating with his phone, looked back at the two under the single umbrella. He felt his Older Sister was acting a bit strange; she usually spoke very little and would never be this close to a man.

This was the first time Shen Ningning had seen her father praise someone so earnestly. Moreover, Jiang Chuan's transformation was so drastic he seemed like a different person, which made her curious.

Ten minutes later, the three finally arrived at the entrance of the office building. Jiang Chuan and Shen Ningning were quite relaxed, taking in the sight of the building, while the other person was in a bit of a state, panting with his tongue out and wiping away sweat.

It was a very new office building, likely completed in recent years, with no signs of wear or tear.

Seeing people approach, the girl at the front desk gave a professional fake smile and said, "I'm sorry, our office building has already been sold. It is not for rent."

"My name is Jiang Chuan. I believe I'm the one who bought it. Is your manager in?" Jiang Chuan asked, leaning against the front desk.

"You are Mr. Jiang? Manager Li already gave instructions. I'll call him right away!"

The girl hadn't expected Jiang Chuan to be so young. Her hand trembled slightly as she dialed, fearing he might find her attitude lacking.

"Manager Li, the Mr. Jiang you mentioned is here. Yes, understood!"

The girl said respectfully, "Mr. Jiang, please wait a moment. Our manager will be here shortly."

Jiang Chuan nodded and led the other two to the lounge area.

Shen Jincheng leaned in and whispered, "Old Third! You bought the whole thing? Where did you get that much money? Which floor did you buy?"

Jiang Chuan traced a circle with his hand and said, "I bought the whole building."

Shen Jincheng naturally didn't believe him. How much would it cost to buy the whole thing? At least tens of millions! Even if Old Third won the lottery, he couldn't afford it. He rolled his eyes and didn't ask further.

Shen Ningning didn't listen to their conversation. She kept looking around, clearly more interested in the formation of the company.
