While it's said that Wang Ying will be in charge of the office building's renovation, it's impossible for her to actually handle everything.

During the summer vacation, Lin Wei and Wang Ying started working together on office building design.

Their office was on the 23rd floor of the office building. Lin Wei asked Shen Jize to handle the formalities, as she originally thought that Shen Jize had only reserved one office for her.

But when she got there, she was dumbfounded; this person had left an entire floor for her.

The entire floor is approximately 2,000 square meters. Even after deducting the space occupied by the stairs, toilets, and elevator, it is still no less than 2,000 square meters.

“My goodness, the whole company only has one employee, why would we need such a big space? Let’s put the renovations aside for now, I’ll go and talk to them.”

Shen Jize was waiting for her on the first floor of the mall. When he saw Lin Wei coming over, he immediately waved and greeted her.

"Weiwei, you're here? Have you finished looking over there?"

“I’ve looked at it, but the space you’ve given me is too big, an entire floor! I only have one employee, how can I possibly use it?”

“You’ll need it eventually,” Shen Jize said with a smile. “If you really don’t need it, leave half of it for me to use as an office. I might arrange for a few people to work here.”

"That's too big."

“It’s not big. You need an office yourself. Even if you don’t use it, what if you need to entertain customers? After all, it’s a company, and you still need to do business. How can we negotiate if the office building is too small?”

Shen Jize was very good at persuading people, and Lin Wei couldn't argue with him at all. In the end, she could only agree to take half a floor as her office.

The buildings needed partitions, and Shen Jize found someone to do it in just 3 days.

Based on the available space, Lin Wei asked Liu Jianmin to divide the office area on the spot.

“Brother Awang, you have experience with this. How should this office be designed to look high-end, classy, ​​understated yet luxurious and sophisticated?”

Liu Jianmin was about to open his mouth when Lin Wei choked him back.

"Weiwei, are you sure you want to design an office? I've renovated many offices, but the requirements you're talking about don't seem to fall within my scope. Those are all about furniture."

"So, aren't you going to take me with you when you buy the furniture? You're not planning to make a cut, are you?"

Liu Jianmin glanced at her and said, "Do you think I'd take a cut from you? You're the big boss of our home improvement store. It's good enough if you don't give it away for free, let alone take a cut."

"Look at you, so honest, you never know how to seize opportunities to make money. Money from acquaintances is the easiest to earn. But once you've made money from them the first time, there won't be a second time. After all, nobody wants to be taken advantage of."

Wang Ying burst into laughter, "Don't you understand perfectly well? Why did you do that stupid thing?"

"She didn't commit adultery, she just wanted to test me. I'm sorry, I'm fair and just, I never do those kinds of shady things."

After giving his opinions, Liu Jianmin helped Lin Wei choose furniture.

An office doesn't need a particularly striking style; a simple Chinese style will suffice.

You won't get tired of it over time.

Her office is really big.

"An office, just one office is over a hundred square meters, nearly two hundred square meters. Isn't that a bit exaggerated? I'm afraid my two apartments combined aren't even as big as this one office."

Liu Jianmin was also helpless, "The construction company simply doesn't have many employees, and if we don't make this place bigger, it will look too empty."

"But how was all of this planned?"

The desk against the wall has more books than an entire wall of books in a library.

Directly in front of it is a simple golf course, which, although simple, is still a few meters long.

Next to the golf course is a tea area for brewing Kung Fu tea, and opposite it is a sofa.

Then, a fish tank area was designed, followed by an area for growing green plants, and finally, against the wall, there was a huge office desk and chair, behind which was a filing cabinet.

The environment is very nice, and the layout of each area makes it feel spacious.

You can imagine how big the office is.

But this is not the end.

Such a large area can only house offices.

Sure enough, there was a door to the right of the desk. Inside was a suite of about 30-40 square meters, with a bed, a wardrobe, and a separate bathroom and shower area.

"I don't need to go back; I can just stay here."

"If you want, you can, but most upscale offices are equipped with these features. Once you have all the furniture, you can use it with peace of mind."

Shen Jize took a break from his busy schedule to take a look and genuinely thought Liu Jianmin's renovation was quite good, so he immediately handed over his own renovation to him as well.

Just as they were busy with the renovations, a fairly large fire broke out on the top floor of Jianggang Plaza, which had only been open for a month.

All the people were immediately escorted out of the square, and the security guards used fire extinguishers to put out the fire on the top floor as soon as possible.

When Lin Wei and the others arrived, the scene had already been cordoned off, and Shen Jize was standing to the side with a livid face.

Seeing that it was Lin Wei who came over, he gave her a rare kind look.

"Weiwei, you're here!"

"Yes, I heard about what happened in the building next door. I wonder what happened and how the fire suddenly broke out."

Xiao Zeng, who was standing nearby, pointed inside and said, "The police are already investigating at the scene, but judging from the scene, it seems that someone deliberately set the fire."

A small amount of gasoline had been poured on that area, otherwise it wouldn't have caught fire so quickly. There were also half-smoked cigarette butts on the ground.

Shen Jize has strict rules: no one is allowed to smoke in non-smoking areas.

Even for security personnel, there is a separate smoking area.

The police officer asked, "Do you have surveillance cameras installed? I see there are quite a few surveillance cameras installed in the square."

Xiao Zeng said helplessly, "It was installed, but the surveillance cameras were sabotaged."

In 1994, the shopping mall's surveillance system still used VCR mode, which could monitor in real time, but its storage capacity was limited and needed to be replaced regularly.

The rooftop was also equipped with one, except—

The police officer replied, "It's alright. As long as not all the videotapes are destroyed, we can find clues."

Zeng's face was grim. "Everything was destroyed, all the videotapes, even the equipment in the monitoring room..."

Lin Wei immediately understood what was going on. No wonder Shen Jize looked so grim; it was probably intentional.

"Has anyone been injured, or lost anything?"

Shen Jize shook his head, but then said solemnly, "Weiwei, I need to go back to Hong Kong."

"I'll go with you."

Shen Jize refused, saying, "Someone needs to take charge here. We can't all leave. You watch over this place for me. I'll go back for a bit, and I'll definitely be back within half a month."

Lin Wei was somewhat reluctant, but worried that others would hear, so she pulled Shen Jize aside and whispered, "It's most likely that it was Shen Qingji or your grandfather who did it, right? What are you planning to do when you go back? Are you going to do something very dangerous again? Can you take me with you?"
