11: Chapter 11 Searching for a Factory
After signing the lease agreement, Chen Yu asked Zheng Qiang to arrange for people to install the fastest fiber optic network on these three floors and purchase 200 of the best computer equipment.
He told Zheng Qiang that whatever the cost, he could directly seek reimbursement from him.
Zheng Qiang was overjoyed; since Mr. Chen trusted him so much, he definitely had to handle these matters well for him.
As for taking a small kickback, wasn't that an unwritten rule of the industry?
Chen Yu didn't mind; giving the other party a small benefit would make them work wholeheartedly for him.
After arranging all of this, Chen Yu took the lease agreement and, accompanied by Xiao Jiazi, left the Guojin Center.
Renting the building had cost 17.5 million, leaving Chen Yu with 43.5 million.
Next, Chen Yu needed to rent a factory building, the larger the area, the better.
He searched online for a while but couldn't find any factory buildings for rent, though there were plenty of residential properties.
At this moment, Chen Yu received a message on his WeChat.
He opened it and saw it was from Su Rou.
"Mr. Chen, are you busy? How did your office search go?"
Chen Yu smiled slightly, thinking, is this little girl afraid I won't need her anymore?
Chen Yu typed a reply.
"The office has already been leased, right in the central CBD of the city, the Guojin Center."
"Wow, Mr. Chen, you're amazing! You actually leased an office in the Guojin Center. My classmate works for a company there, and it's so grand!"
"Really? You can work there too in the future. I'll reserve a super-large office for you!"
"Ah, Mr. Chen, I don't know what I can do. A large office should be left for someone who needs it. A cubicle is fine for me! <shy emoji>"
"Oh, right, I also need to rent a factory building, the bigger the better. Where can I usually find resources for that?"
On the other end of the phone, Su Rou thought for a moment. She seemed to recall that a customer who came to look at a car last week mentioned a factory for sale.
So Su Rou sent a message to Chen Yu.
"I had a client last week who said they had a factory building for sale. I'll try to find his contact information for you."
"Okay, if you help me solve this, I'll give you a raise!"
"Mhm mhm! <cute emoji>"
About ten minutes later, Su Rou's message came again.
"Mr. Chen, I've already spoken to him. He wants us to come to his factory for a face-to-face discussion."
"Alright, I'll pick you up, and we'll go together."
"Okay then, come over."
Chen Yu immediately drove, with Xiao Jiazi, straight to the Porsche 4S store.
Arriving at the entrance of the 4S store, Chen Yu opened the door and saw Su Rou, who had already changed her clothes and was standing gracefully at the entrance.
Chen Yu smiled, walked forward, and said somewhat apologetically:
"Sorry, I didn't think it through before coming. My car can only seat two people, and I brought my secretary today. How about I let my secretary wait here at your store, and the two of us go together?"
Subsequently, Su Rou saw Xiao Jiazi get out of the passenger seat of the Porsche 911.
When Xiao Jiazi got out of the car, the male sales staff in the 4S store, as if receiving some signal, all swarmed to the entrance.
Such a super beauty! These sales staff who knew Chen Yu looked at him with envious eyes.
As expected of Boss Chen, the women around him are always beautiful.
Su Rou was stunned when she saw a woman, who looked like a celebrity, get out of Chen Yu's car.
She didn't know why, but a hint of jealousy welled up in her heart.
Chen Yu saw Su Rou staring blankly at Xiao Jiazi and quickly spoke up.
"Hey, don't mind her. She's my secretary. We're going to discuss renting the factory, just let her wait here."
Xiao Jiazi politely stepped forward and extended her hand.
"Hello, I am Chen Yu's secretary. My name is Xiao Jiazi."
Chen Yu was speechless. When he named Xiao Jiazi, he hadn't considered encountering such a situation when going out.
Su Rou scanned Xiao Jiazi and Chen Yu with a surprised look.
What kind of name is that? Xiao Jiazi?
"Uh... uh, hello, I'm Su Rou."
"If you have something to do, go ahead and do it. Don't worry about me. I'll just wait here for the boss to come back."
After Xiao Jiazi finished speaking, she obediently sat on the sofa in the 4S store, immediately causing exclamations from the male sales staff present.
They were all thinking about coming over later to offer tea and water and try to get closer to the beauty.
Su Rou eyed Xiao Jiazi warily. This woman was too beautiful, and her figure was like something out of a comic book.
This was actually Chen Yu's secretary. Su Rou's self-confidence was greatly shattered.
With this competitor, her hopes of becoming the boss's wife seemed slim.
Just as the two were about to leave, the 4S store manager stepped forward and stopped Chen Yu.
"Hehe, Mr. Chen, you are our distinguished guest. Since your car can't seat three people, I can lend you our 4S store's courtesy car, a four-seater Panamera."
Chen Yu's eyes lit up. That would be great; this way, all three of them could go.
"Oh, that's great, manager!"
"Haha, Mr. Chen, as long as you're satisfied!"
Su Rou glared at her manager. Why was this guy so clueless at this moment? The manager hadn't thought so much; he just wanted to please Chen Yu.
Finally, Chen Yu drove a Panamera, carrying Su Rou and Xiao Jiazi, and left.
Su Rou sat in the passenger seat, and Xiao Jiazi sat in the back.
In the car, Su Rou couldn't hold back and asked Chen Yu:
"Mr. Chen, your secretary is really beautiful. Where did you find her?"
Chen Yu didn't think much of it and casually replied.
"You mean her? I hired her last night. But she's only for looking."
Su Rou didn't understand Chen Yu's meaning.
"Mr. Chen, what do you mean 'only for looking'?"
"It means she's only for looking. She...sigh, she...never mind, you wouldn't understand even if I told you."
Su Rou looked at Chen Yu with a strange expression, not knowing what he was trying to express.
At this moment, Xiao Jiazi in the back seat spoke in a sweet, coquettish voice.
"Hmph, Master, I can clearly be used, but you won't even try. Why do you say I can't be used? I can, I promise to make you unable to stop."
"Pfft!!!"
Chen Yu almost spat out a mouthful of old blood!
Xiao Jiazi's wild words were deadly!
Su Rou frowned. What exactly did Xiao Jiazi mean by her words?
Also, why did she call Chen Yu 'Master'? And what did 'can be used' mean? And 'unable to stop'? Was it about that aspect?
"Hey, Su Rou, don't listen to her nonsense, okay? She has some issues with her brain."
As Chen Yu explained, he also gestured with his finger to his head.
This angered Xiao Jiazi, and a soft, petulant voice came from the back.
"Hmph, Master, I'm angry. You actually said I have issues with my brain. I'm a genius with an IQ over 250."
"Yes, yes, yes, 250! 250!"
Su Rou now understood. The unbelievably beautiful woman in the back.
She probably really had some issues with her brain. She couldn't help but turn her head and look at her with sympathetic eyes.
"Hey, Miss Su, why are you looking at me with that kind of expression? Based on my understanding of humans, your gaze just now contained various emotions like pity, sarcasm, and ridicule, but I don't need you to look at me like that."
