When the screen saver is turned on, light bursts out from the small screen of the mobile phone, illuminating this hidden corner.
"Huh? It's already six in the afternoon. No wonder I'm hungry. I wonder what the chef will cook tonight?"
Zhang Wenyu could no longer lie down while recalling the delicious food she had eaten before. She got up, changed into home clothes and ran to the restaurant downstairs.
The sunset today was beautiful, so Zhang Wenyu asked the servants to move dinner outside.
It was already August, and although it was already six in the afternoon, the weather was still hot. However, we were lucky today. It rained for a while in the afternoon, and a light breeze blew at this time, making it comfortable to sit outside.
The roses have withered, and the housekeeper moved a field of sunflowers as tall as a meter from somewhere, which are now blooming beautifully.
Next to the sunflowers stood a wooden round table covered with a pastoral white lace tablecloth. Next to the table stood a wheat field chair with an oval floral cushion on the back.
After Zhang Wenyu sat down, the servants began to serve the dishes.
The appetizers include sweet shrimp balls with ginger spinach and sweet bamboo shoots with lily and coriander sprouts. The cooked dishes include ice sea king crab, steamed yellow croaker with lily and double pepper sauce, and marinated beef with garlic and cilantro.
The main course is spring rolls with white bacillus and fish maw, and the soup in the middle is flower crab stewed with fifty-year-old pepper roots.
The dessert is rose yam cake.
Finally, a cup of mango sago was served.
The sun gradually sets, and the last ray of sunlight disappears below the horizon.
Zhang Wenyu fiddled with his cell phone, looked at the wall in the distance, and asked Uncle Zhuang.
"Tingting hasn't come back yet?"
Uncle Zhuang glanced at his wrist and replied respectfully.
"Not yet. Miss Tingting has been getting off work lately. She probably won't be back until around eight o'clock."
Zhang Wenyu frowned when he heard this.
She originally wanted Wang Tingting to work in the company she had invested in, but Tingting refused to take advantage of her at all and insisted on finding a job on her own. There were indeed more job opportunities in S City, so Zhang Wenyu stopped forcing her.
Wang Tingting was quick to act and found a job the next day. She then told Zhang Wenyu that they wanted to move out. Zhang Wenyu knew Wang Tingting was a strong-willed person and was worried that living in her house would cause her trouble, but friends don't tend to be so calculating. After much persuasion, she finally got Wang Tingting to agree to stay for another month until she got her salary.
Wang Tingting was also heartbroken by her parents. Now she has thrown her whole heart into her work. In order to get started as soon as possible, she works later and later. This kind of hard work without regard for her health is also worrying.
The next morning, Zhang Wenyu, full of energy, got on Alpha and prepared to go to Kangdi Building to see her new industry.
The driver quickly drove the car into the square in front of Kangdi Building. The manager who was previously responsible for the rental of Kangdi Building and others were already waiting at the door. When they saw the car door open, they came forward to greet them enthusiastically.
"Ms. Zhang, welcome! My name is Zheng, and I'm the manager of the agency that previously handled the leasing of Kangdi Building. I've sorted out the current leasing situation of Kangdi Building. The occupancy rate of all three buildings is currently 75%. The top floor office area of the main building has also been tidied up, and the information is all there. I'll introduce it in detail later. The tenants are waiting for you on the top floor. Would you like to meet them?"
Zheng Yuanqiu had a smile on his face, but he was muttering and cursing in his heart.
This group of foreigners left without giving him any time to react. After receiving the notice yesterday, he hurriedly sorted out the information and cleaned up the top floor office area overnight. He didn't know whether the new boss would be satisfied, as this was related to whether the rental business would be entrusted to their company in the future.
The elevator goes directly to the top floor, the 83rd floor. When the elevator opens, a bright and spacious indoor office area comes into view. Through the large floor-to-ceiling windows, one can see the most prosperous area of the entire S city.
Continue walking inside, passing through several offices and conference rooms, and at the innermost part are two black doors.
Zheng Qiuyuan pushed the door open, revealing the boss's office. The office's decor was calm and elegant, with a distinguished and elegant imported wood desk. Behind the black leather executive chair was a custom-made bookcase partition. The floor was covered in a soft, comfortable gray carpet.
On the marble table in the reception area was placed the tenants' information prepared by Zheng Qiuyuan.
"Ms. Zhang, this is the tenant information. Currently, the fourth, thirty-second to thirty-fourth, forty-second, forty-fourth, and seventy-third floors of Building 1...; the seventeenth, forty-third to forty-fifth, and seventy-second floors of Building 2...; and the thirty-fourth, forty-fourth, and sixty-ninth floors of the main building, etc. None of them are currently rented out."
"But we've been receiving inquiries from businesses, and several are very interested. A few are nearing the end of their leases and are looking to renew. Our building is in a great location and has a grand feel. It's a high-end place to start a business, and it's easier to negotiate business here. Once you've rented here, you don't want to move! Ms. Zhang has a keen eye and decisive action, and she ultimately secured this building. I'm truly impressed."
Zheng Qiuyuan introduced the rental situation of the building to Zhang Wenyu in detail, and flattered Zhang Wenyu from time to time.
Zhang Wenyu looked through the documents on the table, which clearly stated the lease period and rent of each tenant.
Zheng Qiuyuan was still adding to his comments.
"Ms. Zhang, the tenants previously paid rent annually, and the finance department has already settled the rent with the previous company before yesterday. The tenants would like to know if the rent will still be settled annually in the future? And how much will the annual rent increase be?"
Zhang Wenyu thought about it and decided not to reduce the rent directly for the tenants. Given the location of the place, it would not be appropriate to have a rent that was too low. However, she would not raise the rent this year, which could be considered as some discount for her tenants.
"Let's settle the rent annually as before. There will be no rent increase this year. It will remain at the previous price."
"Okay, then I'll continue to handle the leasing of the Kangdi Building."
Zheng Qiuyuan asked tentatively, looking at Zhang Wenyu cautiously, his heart tightening with nervousness, afraid to hear that he would entrust other intermediary companies and no longer need them.
Zhang Wenyu saw that Zheng Qiuyuan was doing things very efficiently and giving clear responses, so she didn't plan to replace him. Seeing Zheng Qiuyuan's nervous expression was rather pitiful, she nodded gently.
"You've done a great job so far, so I'll continue to leave it to you. I'll have my assistant contact you, and you can give her the report later. Now, please invite the tenants over to meet them."
Zheng Qiuyuan was extremely excited to have saved the business. Upon hearing Zhang Wenyu's instructions, he immediately ran to invite the tenants over.
The anxiously waiting tenants outside were whispering to each other. Ever since they learned the building had changed hands, they had been on edge, worried that they would be denied rent and that the rent would go up exorbitantly. Hearing the new owner was coming, they had come early in the morning to wait. When Zheng Qiuyuan called out to them, they immediately followed.
