Her question was soon answered.

Guo Tian ran over with a happy expression, followed by a middle-aged man wearing full-rimmed glasses.

Guo Tian introduced, "Boss Zong, General Manager Jiang, this is Director Wu of the Assets Department of the Third Chemical Plant in Beijing."

Director Wu warmly led the two to the reception room on the first floor.

He poured them both a glass of water and introduced them with a smile.

"You two have excellent taste. Our Sanhua Building was built in 1991, so it's only four years old. It's a very new building, and we do a great job with its daily maintenance. I can show you around to each floor later."

Guo Tian added some details, "The Sanhua Building has a total of 19 floors, three underground and 16 above ground. Each floor is about 1,200 square meters, and there is also a courtyard of nearly 500 square meters outside the building."

Jiang Xiaoli asked, "Are the three basement floors of the building laid out the same way as the ground floor?"

Director Wu replied, "Yes, the Sanhua Building was originally built by our chemical plant as a research and development building. Many chemical raw materials need to be stored at low temperatures and away from light, hence this design."

She thought for a moment and asked with a smile, "Director Wu, how much is the price offered by the Three Chemicals Group?"

Director Wu chuckled when he heard her ask about prices. "Hehe, Ms. Jiang, the prices of houses in this area of ​​Kyoto are changing every few days. Our Sanhua Building is relatively new and in a good location..."

After a series of preambles, Director Wu announced a figure, "President Jiang, if you can pay in full at once, 85 million will suffice."

Jiang Xiaoli smiled and said, "Director Wu, isn't your price a bit too high?"

Zong Jia frowned. "This price is enough for us to rent an entire building for decades."

Seeing their dissatisfaction with the price, Director Wu quickly explained, "Why don't you two come with me to each floor and take a look? You'll see that the quality of our Sanhua Building is truly excellent!"

They exchanged a glance and did not refuse Director Wu's request.

They first went to Zongjia and the 5th and 6th floors that they originally planned to rent.

Director Wu explained, "The designer of our Three Transformations Building is Dean Deng from the Kyoto Architectural Design Institute, and the spatial layout is very reasonable..."

After walking around the building, Jiang Xiaoli had already decided to buy it.

She didn't show it, but as she was leaving, she said, "I've seen the building. I'll have someone from my company come and take a look. I'd appreciate it if you could help me with the introductions and reception, Director Wu."

Director Wu quickly replied, "Okay, okay, no problem."

On the way home, Zong Jia asked, "You've already fallen for it?"

She nodded. "It just so happens that if I don't buy it, I feel like I'm missing out."

Zong Jia smiled slightly, "The building is nice, but the price is a bit too high."

Jiang Xiaoli gathered her loose hair in her palm, tied it up again, and said with a smile, "If you're asking for the sky, you should bargain on the spot."

"That's true. If you buy it, are you planning to move 'Jiang Li Ji' here?"

She shook her head. "The leases at the CBD are signed on a one-year basis, so we'll have to wait until they expire at the very least."

Zong Jia smiled slightly. "Then I'll have to trouble Mr. Jiang to provide some space for 'Yu Jia'."

Jiang Xiaoli turned to look at him with a smile, "That depends on your performance!"

"I will definitely do my best for General Manager Jiang."

"Zong Jiayu, you're such a scoundrel!"

The rogue himself said innocently, "What I meant was that I would definitely run the company well and help President Jiang make more money. How is that being a rogue?"

Jiang Xiaoli rolled her eyes at him, "That's definitely not what you meant!"

Zong Jia chuckled, "Little Pear, thinking so much, aren't you the little hooligan?"

Jiang Xiaoli adjusted the passenger seat, lay down, closed her eyes to rest, and ignored him.

That evening, she told Dafu about the Sanhua Building. Dafu was a little surprised, "Little Pear, you want to buy a building?"

He thought for a moment and then said, "But if the price is right, buying one is fine too, we can use it as the headquarters of the 'Jiang Group' in the future."

Jiang Xiaoli smiled slightly and pointed at Zong Jiayu, "It's not even close to being settled yet, and someone is already asking me if I want to go through the third floor."

Dafu said fairly, "We don't need that many floors for now. If we don't make money from the rent of 'Yu Jia,' someone else will."

Zhong Yuan couldn't help but complain, "What are you guys fantasizing about here? You're acting like you've already taken over the whole building."

Jiang Xiaoli looked at Dafu and said, "Brother Dafu, I'll leave the bargaining to you. Anything under 70 million is fine."

Dafu nodded. "Okay, I'll get someone to do an evaluation first, and then I'll talk to the people from Sanhua."

Zhong Yuan pressed the TV remote control repeatedly, saying, "Have you guys ever thought that one day you'd casually say you'd buy something worth tens of millions?"

Dafu sat next to him and shook his head. "Don't even mention tens of millions, I never dared to dream of things worth tens of thousands before!"

Jiang Xiaoli recalled, "When I was short of money before, I would always plan to buy this and that whenever I had a few coins. Now, I don't seem to have much of a desire to shop. Anyway, I can afford most of the things I like."

Zhong Yuan nodded. "Yes, there are really not many people who would spend tens of millions to buy a building after just one trip around."

"Haha." Dafu laughed out loud, "Although what you said is very vivid, Little Pear's thing is called investment, right?"

Zhong Yuan suddenly blurted out, "I wonder how rich Xin Xin's family is, and what requirements she has for her boyfriend."

Seeing that he was about to fall into a daze again, Jiang Xiaoli quickly spoke up, "Brother Yuan, do you think you can find a girlfriend by just thinking about it all day at home?"

Dafu scoffed, "Your brother Yuan is probably filming a movie in his head, but the plot hasn't been finalized yet."

Upon hearing Dafu's words, Zhong Yuan suddenly changed the subject, "Little Pear, do you think investing in movie production is profitable?"

Jiang Xiaoli raised an eyebrow. "Oh, Brother Yuan, what made you think that?"

Zhong Yuan scratched his head. "I met a guy in a chat room. He used to be super busy, but recently he's been online every day. When I asked him, he said he's a movie director, but recently the investor who was funding his movie suddenly withdrew his investment."

Jiang Xiaoli's eyes darted around. "What's the name of the movie your online friend made?"

“It seems to be called ‘Outstanding’,” Zhong Yuan replied.

She gaped in surprise, "Brother Yuan, are you sure it's called 'Outstanding Talent'?"

Zhong Yuan nodded. "Yes, I only found out yesterday. I think I'm not mistaken."

Jiang Xiaoli couldn't help but smack her lips. This movie is truly timeless. A low-budget film made the director, the male and female leads famous, and even some of the supporting actors became superstars more than a decade later.

She wanted to confirm again, "Brother Yuan, do you know what your online friend's real name is?"

Zhong Yuan nodded. "His online name and real name are the same, Shen Zhaokun."

It really is that movie!
