Lu Chi said gratefully, "Dad, where are you now? I'll come and get it right away."
Lu Yuanqing laughed and said, "You little rascal, who is this Zhang Hu to you? Why are you so concerned about him?"
"Dad, he's my best brother, the kind who'd go through life and death with me. You don't need to ask anything else."
Lu Yuanqing was still a little puzzled. Before his son came home, he had sent someone to investigate his son. His son's adoptive parents' family had a relatively simple life and no complicated relatives.
My son has excellent grades at school and gets along well with most of his classmates, but he doesn't have any close brothers who would risk their lives for him.
Now, a good brother named Zhang Hu suddenly appears, claiming to have a life-and-death bond with him. Lu Yuanqing is uneasy and has someone secretly investigate Zhang Hu's background.
On the surface, Lu Yuanqing didn't tell Lu Chi about his investigation into Zhang Hu. He simply reminded Lu Chi, "Son, I believe you have a discerning eye and can see the truth in people. You won't let me down, okay?"
Lu Chijing wasn't surprised at all; he instantly understood that Lu Yuanqing was reminding him not to be used by someone with ulterior motives.
Lu Chi laughed and said, "Dad, don't worry. If your son's IQ wasn't high enough, would I have scored so many points in the college entrance exam? Don't worry, my generation is definitely much better than yours."
As for making friends and judging character, you don't need to worry about me. I know very well who is a friend and who is a foe.
Hearing his son say this, Lu Yuanqing didn't say anything more, only saying, "Son, you don't need to come back. I've already had Zhou Fu send someone to deliver the business license to your company. It should arrive soon."
Not long after the father and son hung up the phone, sure enough, the family's bodyguard delivered the business license to Lu Chi's president's office on the 28th floor.
Lu Chi heard a knock on the door, opened it, and retrieved the business license.
Then I called Zhang Hu.
"Xiaohu, the business license has been issued. Your plan to start a food delivery company should be put into practice immediately. Come out here, let's go and see where there are suitable buildings to buy for the company."
"It's done so quickly?" Zhang Hu was drinking tea at home, thinking about getting a dog like Lu Chi. He hadn't decided where to buy a good dog yet when he received a call from Lu Chi.
"Yes, it's done. I asked my dad to help me with it. You know how capable my dad is, so his efficiency is beyond question!"
Zhang Hu said enviously, "Ah, it's so great to have a billionaire dad!"
Lu Chi laughed and said, "It's okay. After a while, I'll introduce you to my dad and have him recognize you as his godson. Then you'll have a dad."
Zhang Hu was instantly moved: "Great, Xiao Chi, thank you for giving your brother a home!"
Lu Chi laughed and said, "Haha, so delicate, did you have a gender change?"
Zhang Hu: "You're the one who's changed gender! You wait here, I'm coming to your office right away."
Lu Chi: "Okay!"
Lu Chi grabbed his coat and prepared to leave, calling to the driver, "Chen Xiong, drive out."
Chen Xiong, who was waiting at the door, respectfully replied, "Yes, Brother Tiger!"
Liu Ruyan was upstairs putting on makeup, preparing to dress up so that Zhang Hu would accompany her around that evening, when she heard Zhang Hu say that he was going out.
Liu Ruyan panicked and quickly rushed out in her high heels.
He called out to Zhang Hu downstairs, "Brother Hu, where are you going?"
Zhang Hu did not answer.
Liu Ruyan called out again, "Brother Tiger, where are you going? Take me with you."
Zhang Hu turned around and said, "If you're bored, go out for a walk by yourself. I'll transfer you some money. I have things to do, so don't follow me."
"Hmph!" Liu Ruyan stomped her foot, her lips pouting, her sweet voice revealing her displeasure. "So what if I bring her along? She's not some old hag who can't be taken out in public. Will bringing her out make you lose face?"
Zhang Hu didn't answer; he had already walked away.
"Sigh~" Liu Ruyan glanced at the lipstick she was still holding in her hand with a wronged expression, and felt like crying.
Thinking about it this way, tears streamed down my face.
She had no heart for shopping anymore; she went straight back inside and sat down to cry.
Half an hour later, Zhang Hu arrived at the 28th floor of [Haha You] company. The beautiful secretary, Jiang Jieyu, knocked on the door and came in to announce: "President Lu, Zhang Hu wants to see you."
Lu Chi looked up and said to Jiang Jieyu, "Jiang, next time Zhang Hu comes, there's no need to announce him. Just let him in."
Jiang Jieyu nodded: "Understood, President Lu."
He turned around and gestured for Zhang Hu to come in: "Please come in."
Zhang Hu: "Thank you."
As soon as Zhang Hu entered, he joked with Lu Chi, "Little Chi, is the secretary new here?"
Lu Chi laughed and said, "You know so much about every new employee. Are your eyes always on women?"
Zhang Hu laughed heartily, "It's not that I'm deliberately paying attention, but your little secretary is indeed very pretty, with a great figure, just like Liu Ruyan. Are you planning to make her your girlfriend?"
Lu Chi shook his head: "Not interested!"
Zhang Hu: "...Brother, if you're not interested in something so tender and juicy, then wait for me."
Lu Chi: "Go away, don't try anything with my employees. If you want women, there are plenty in nightclubs! Okay, enough nonsense, let's go, I'll take you to see the building."
As the two emerged from the CEO's office, Zhang Hu stole a glance at Jiang Jieyu, who was sitting at a workstation to the side of the office door, and whispered to Lu Chi, "She is indeed quite beautiful!"
Lu Chi glared at him and shook his head.
Sigh, my brother is good in every way, except he's a bit of a scoundrel, a lecherous old man.
After leaving the house, Lu Chi took Zhang Hu to see the several alternative floors that the butler Zhou Fu had given them.
It's a floor in the city center, in the best location, but also the most expensive.
The building owner originally didn't intend to sell, but because he lost money elsewhere and urgently needed funds to pay off his debts, he had no choice but to put up a notice to sell the building.
However, this building is expensive in the city center; according to Zhou Fu, it would cost 5 billion yuan.
5 billion is a sum that most people simply cannot afford.
Those who can afford it are also considering its commercial value, wondering how long it will take to earn 5 billion for them.
Zhang Hu only had 20 billion yuan in his hands, and he felt a pang of regret at having to spend 5 billion yuan to buy a building.
"Xiao Chi, how about we choose a place further away? Buying a building like this for 5 billion might not even make that much money in the end, it's too expensive."
Seeing his good brother having second thoughts, Lu Chi encouraged him from the side:
"Little Tiger, listen to me. It does sound expensive to buy a building for 5 billion now, but you have to understand that this is Jingshi, and it's in the city center. 5 billion is really because the boss urgently needs the money. Otherwise, you wouldn't be able to buy it even for 10 billion."
Furthermore, if your company is too remote, delivering food is simply inconvenient. A company located in the city center acts as a network hub, radiating throughout the entire city. My suggestion is to buy this building and use the bottom three floors to open a large hotel.
List your hotel's dishes on the platform, and have your staff deliver them when someone orders. The building has 25 floors in total; you can rent out the upper floors for use as a shopping mall, KTV, or office space.
