MMB Chapter 10 I've had a tough time too, okay?
Chapter 10 I've had a tough time too, okay?
Su Ming had noticed Gu Yun's changes.
Normally, Gu Yun would have scoffed at Su Ming's nonsense about feng shui and metaphysics.
But today, every word Su Ming uttered seemed to describe what he was about to do.
Unexpected wealth? Hidden wealth?
Isn't this exactly what he and those two shareholders were planning?
Seeing that Gu Yun was distracted, Su Ming continued to deceive him in a serious manner: "It's true, President Gu, judging from your face, you will inevitably encounter this kind of windfall in the future."
And this place is just what people like you, who are willing to do big things, are meant to do.
It gathers wealth and calms the mind, turning danger into safety—truly wondrous!
Gu Yun remained silent. He did believe in these things, especially when doing some "unconventional" business.
But hearing it from Su Ming's mouth, he felt something was off.
"Look at this 22nd floor," Su Ming pointed out the window, "it's the 'dragon's eye' of the whole building. If you rent this place, it'll be like a dragon coiled and a tiger crouching, bringing you great fortune!"
Liu Wei, who was listening nearby, was so engrossed in the conversation that he kept digging his toes into the ground, and he didn't dare to look Su Ming in the eye.
But Gu Yun remained silent.
He stared at Su Ming for a few seconds, then looked around and glanced at the surrounding scenery, which was indeed as Su Ming had said.
This is indeed a prime location, and it's secluded enough that if we could put a helicopter on the roof...
Gu Yun had already automatically put himself in the future, even thinking about how to escape after being captured.
Although Liu Wei didn't understand feng shui, he could read the atmosphere and immediately chimed in, "That's right! President Gu, now that Xiao Su mentions it, I also remembered it."
A few days ago, a tenant brought a feng shui master to this place to check the feng shui. They took a liking to this place and said they wanted to make a reservation...
Liu Wei said a lot, but the gist of it was that this place had good feng shui, and other people had also taken a liking to it.
And they're willing to pay a high price, Mr. Gu, you should make a decision quickly!
Gu Yun snapped out of his daze and finally spoke: "The feng shui does look good, Mr. Liu. I accept the price, but I request to sign a five-year contract immediately."
Details such as opening up floors and upgrading facilities must be written into the contract appendix...
Gu Yun made a series of requests, and Liu Wei nodded, indicating that of course there was no problem.
To prevent haggling, the price has already increased by 40%. Even if you want me to do the renovation, it's no problem.
Su Ming stood calmly to the side, but inwardly he was overjoyed.
In this way, he can quickly complete the task of renting out the building.
Meanwhile, in the star-studded conference room, the atmosphere was somewhat somber.
Zhang Zhicheng sat in the main seat, his brows furrowed, flipping through the financial statements in front of him with a loud rustling sound.
On either side of the long table sat seven or eight people, all of whom were the company's shareholders and senior executives.
Suddenly, the chubby shareholder sitting on the left spoke up: "Mr. Zhang, I don't think this trend is good. If it continues like this until the end of the year, the company will keep losing money..."
He shook his head, not finishing his sentence, but everyone understood what he meant.
"Yes!" someone below echoed, "At this rate, we won't pass the IPO evaluation at all."
"Furthermore, we have a large amount of branded inventory stuck in our warehouses, and these assets are difficult to liquidate..."
Zhang Zhicheng sighed: "I know, last week I approved a budget of 50 yuan and asked the Ministry of Commerce to handle Chen Lu."
She's been really popular lately. If we could sign her for livestreaming e-commerce, we should be able to clear out this batch of goods and even make a profit, right?
"50?" A shareholder sitting opposite suddenly laughed. "Mr. Zhang, do you seem to have some misunderstanding about the current market situation?"
Zhang Zhicheng frowned: "What do you mean?"
"What's Chen Lu's net worth now?" The shareholder stroked his sparse hair and spread his hands. "He has 30 million followers across the internet, and he just got his contract terminated, which made headlines. Countless brands are scrambling to give him money."
50? What a bumpkin!
"They're asking for at least a million, and that's a friendly price..."
Another man sitting in the middle on the right chuckled and said, "Mr. Zhang, don't you know what kind of people those in the Ministry of Commerce are? They think they can get rid of Chen Lu with just 50 yuan? That's an impossible task."
Moreover, that 500,000 was long gone, he added to himself.
"Yeah, that's right." The man sitting across from him sighed, "I think that 50 is just going down the drain."
Zhang Zhicheng's expression grew increasingly grim.
"So you mean...?"
"My suggestion is," the man leaned forward, "since we've already decided to invest in Mr. Gu's new company, why not just merge and exchange our company's shares for Mr. Gu's company's shares?"
I've had a preliminary discussion with Mr. Gu, and he's very sincere, willing to exchange it for 10% of the shares, which is worth a billion yuan.
"Think about it, everyone. Once Mr. Gu completes the subsequent financing and initiates the IPO process, how much will our 10% equity stake be worth?"
Just then, the phone on the table vibrated.
Su Ming picked up his phone, unlocked the screen, and saw a series of messages from Chen Lu.
Chen Lu: Are you free this afternoon? (˝ᗢ˝)
Chen Lu: We found a new house and want to move in today.
Chen Lu: But there's a lot of stuff... Could you come and help me out? (´இ皿இ｀)
Su Ming looked at the message on his phone and quickly replied with two words:
Su Ming: TD
A few seconds later, Chen Lu replied:
Chen Lu: ? ? ? What do you mean?
Su Ming: Unsubscribe.
Chen Lu: ......
Chen Lu: [Retracted a message]
Chen Lu: [Retracted a message]
Chen Lu: Su Ming!!! Go to hell!!! ٩(╬ʘ益ʘ╬)۶
Looking at the string of exclamation marks on the screen, Su Ming could almost see Chen Lu's angry expression.
He typed with a smile:
Su Ming: Just kidding. I'll be there in half an hour. Send me the address.
Chen Lu: Hmph! I'll be waiting for you!
Upon receiving the address, Su Ming hailed a ride-hailing car and headed straight for the Jiangting Villa District.
When he arrived at his destination, Shen Yue opened the door for him.
"You're here?" Shen Yue's expression was indifferent as she stepped aside to let him into the house. "Someone insisted on moving out today, saying they were tired of living here."
"I understand, I understand." Su Ming nodded and walked into the living room.
Chen Lu was squatting next to the sofa packing her suitcase when she saw Su Ming come in. Her eyes lit up and she quickly made a "shh" gesture.
Then she pointed to Shen Yue's back, then to herself, and finally mouthed "secret".
Su Ming didn't understand, but he still nodded seriously.
Upon seeing Chen Lu again, Chen Lu's favorability rating had actually risen to 89, while Shen Yue's was 69.
That's a significant improvement!
"Most of the things have already been moved by the moving company; the rest are here."
Shen Yue walked over and pointed to several large boxes on the ground. "They mainly contain some clothes and equipment, not much."
"Okay, leave it to me." Su Ming rolled up his sleeves, bent down, and picked up the two largest boxes.
Shen Yue was stunned for a moment: "You..."
"What's wrong?" Su Ming turned around.
"It's nothing," Shen Yue said, looking away. "It's just that you're quite thin, but you're surprisingly strong."
After saying that, she was stunned for a moment, her ears turned slightly red, and she quickly turned around to pack her other things.
Su Ming watched her retreating figure, feeling utterly bewildered.
The move went smoothly; Su Ming made three trips and moved all his belongings downstairs.
Chen Lu followed behind him like a little tail, occasionally whispering in Su Ming's ear when Shen Yue wasn't looking, "The new apartment is next to the company!"
"Next door? That's so close!"
"Yes, yes!" Chen Lu's eyes sparkled. "It'll be so convenient to get to work!"
By the time we arrived at the new apartment and settled in, it was already past 7 p.m.
Shen Yue said she was going downstairs to buy water, and left with her bag.
Only Su Ming and Chen Lu remained in the room.
"Finally finished..." Chen Lu let out a long sigh and plopped down on the floor. "I'm exhausted."
"What are you tired about?" Su Ming turned his head to look at her. "Didn't I move all the stuff?"
"I'll supervise you as you move!" Chen Lu said matter-of-factly. "Supervising is tiring too, you know!"
