Chapter 98 The Rich and the Middle Class

IFC Residences.

Qi Sheng and Zong Rui came back not long ago.

Qiu Lei called and reported the good news.

The formalities at the Guangdong Guild Hall have been completed and renovation can be carried out at any time.

However, the Housing and Urban-Rural Development Bureau requires that the ancient charm of the original building should not be damaged too much during the renovation process.

Qi Sheng was not surprised to hear this request.

"By the way, I'll give you a phone number. Contact this designer named Peng Qingsong and register a decoration company at the same time."

Qiu Lei nodded, "Okay, I'll contact Designer Peng right away."

The last entrepreneurial gift package rewarded by the system included five ordinary talent recruitment cards.

He used two of them and recruited bodyguard Gu Feng and lawyer Qiu Lei respectively.

Qi Sheng later discovered that talent recruitment cards can be synthesized.

Qi Sheng bought three more ordinary talent recruitment cards without thinking.

Directly synthesize an elite talent recruitment card and recruit an elite designer.

Qi Sheng planned to let Peng Qingsong contact a capable local decoration company in Chengdu first.

Select the most satisfactory design plan and complete the store decoration as soon as possible.

Peng Qingsong, an industry insider, was watching the whole process.

He was not worried that the decoration company would cut corners.

After Zong Rui came back, she happily packed the clothes and bags that Qi Sheng bought for her.

When I heard my man talking on the phone about the 25 million renovation budget, I couldn't help but feel curious.

"Did you buy a villa?"

In Zong Rui's impression, only the big villas in Luhu or Lushan require this level of decoration budget.

"Call me husband."

Qi Sheng patted Zong Rui and the feeling was excellent.

"Husband~"

Zong Rui rolled her eyes at him, but still called out in a tender voice.

"Where are the Balenciaga and Valentino we just bought?"

"In the closet, what's wrong?"

"I'll change it for you first."

Qi Sheng stood up and started to search, and quickly put two pieces of equipment that increased attack speed on Zong Rui.

Then he held her and walked towards the bedroom impatiently.

"I'm asking you something serious."

Zong Rui twisted Qi Sheng's ear in annoyance.

When the stinky man is with her, he always thinks about that.

"I'm doing the right thing."

…

Two hours later, Zong Rui curled up in Qi Sheng's arms.

As pitiful as a homeless cat.

Even though I had the experience yesterday, I was still a little uncomfortable with Qi Sheng.

Zong Rui was also very distressed, but didn't know who to talk to.

But the only close friend she could talk to was Qu Man.

In terms of experience in this area, Qu Man is not as good as her.

She heard Qi Sheng explain to her that the 25 million renovation budget was used to renovate a hot pot restaurant in Taikoo Li.

Zong Rui was completely stunned and asked in surprise.

“Does a hot pot restaurant need such extravagant decoration?”

"Of course, my store is the only one of its kind in Taikoo Li."

“Without a renovation budget of 25 million, it would be a shame to have such a location.”

Qi Sheng showed Zong Rui the photos and videos he took inside the Guangdong Guild Hall that day.

"Guangdong Guild Hall?"

Zong Rui was even more confused: "I remember this isn't a historical building?"

"Who told you that historical buildings cannot be rented out? As long as the original appearance is preserved, any renovation is fine."

Qi Sheng doesn't seem like a parasite who just eats and waits to die.

Who doesn’t desire to be respected in front of others and to have success in both career and love?

Now he has already achieved a great harvest in love.

But in terms of career, there is still no sign of success.

As the New Year is approaching, Qi Sheng feels a sense of urgency.

In order to facilitate the decoration company to come up with a design plan as soon as possible.

Qi Sheng stated all his demands, which were to take both taste and luxury into consideration.

If we hurry up, the store renovation work can be completed within three months.

The business was opened before the New Year, allowing him to become Boss Qi.

"Wow, husband, you are amazing."

Zong Rui reacted quickly and looked at Qi Sheng with admiration.

You can rent a historical building like the Guangdong Guild Hall.

The connections and financial resources behind it must be terrifying.

"Is it powerful or not? Didn't you feel it just now?"

"I don't understand."

Zong Rui blushed and started to act confused again.

"Well, since you don't understand, I'll come a few more times."

Qi Sheng naturally had no pressure dealing with a rookie like Zong Rui.

Only with the combined efforts of the three little ones did he feel hollowed out.

Zong Rui took the initiative to stretch out her arms and embrace Qi Sheng, acting sweetly and coquettishly.

"I'm not going back today."

She let Qi Sheng go back yesterday, partly because she was not feeling well.

Another reason was that she felt a little guilty.

But today, I must let Qi Sheng stay for one night no matter what.

"Well, I just reported it to the one at home."

Qi Sheng didn't hide it from Tan Huan, as long as they kept it to themselves.

"Home?"

When Zong Rui heard Qi Sheng say this, her expression became a little gloomy.

It seems that Tan Huan is much more important to him than himself.

Although she felt a little jealous, she could understand it.

Men, more or less, have some first love complex.

Even if she couldn't compare to Tan Huan, she wanted to be the second most favored woman around Qi Sheng.

How many men can resist the joy of facial cleanser?

…

Peng Qingsong visited several local decoration companies in Chengdu with good reputation and strength.

He directly threw out a big order of 25 million and asked them to send their design directors to compete.

When they came to the Guangdong Guild Hall for a field trip.

Everyone was immediately shocked by the background of the mysterious boss behind Peng Qingsong.

In Taikoo Li, where every inch of land is valuable, stand-alone commercial properties are extremely scarce.

If the rumor of renting out the property gets out, won't we be in big trouble?

However, there is no news about the Guangdong Guild Hall renting out its space.

Even these well-informed decoration companies did not know about it until now.

Such a great location has actually been rented out.

As local bosses, they knew it.

What an amazing energy is hidden behind this.

"Mr. Peng, our Langyu Decoration will definitely submit the manuscript as soon as possible."

Wang Bingqin, the design director of Langyu Decoration, hurried back to the company with his staff to prepare the design plan.

When they were dealing with each other just now.

Wang Bingqin keenly realized that Peng Qingsong was not a middleman who could be bought off with small favors.

Instead of going through all the trouble to build a good relationship with him.

It is better to hand in a design plan that satisfies the other party’s boss and win this big order.

There are many companies that share the same idea as Wang Bingqin.

This time, Party A requires a design plan to be produced in the shortest possible time.

Naturally, there is no chance for them to take their time and do a good job.

Even if the boss is easy to fool.

His subordinates are also designers, not newbies.

At least he must be a senior designer with more than five years of experience.

If you want to get this order, you can only rely on your hard power.

For Qi Sheng, the decoration budget is 25 million.

He doesn't care which company it is handed over to.

But for these decoration companies.

Almost all of them are treated as the company's top priority in the near future.

The most elite team was selected and asked to hand in their design plan after much deliberation and revisions over a dozen times.

During this week, Qi Sheng simply spent time with his girlfriends.

I didn't go out and hang out anymore, so I was pretty well behaved.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

The design proposals submitted by several companies were ruthlessly rejected by Peng Qingsong.

Their design plan is also pretty good.

But compared with those decoration companies that put a lot of effort into it, it seems not attentive enough.

“This is a good plan.”

Qi Sheng also asked the system to give him the ability of an interior design expert.

Select a more thoughtful design.

"Boss, this is the design proposal submitted by Director Wang from Lang Yu."

"I personally prefer their design, which coincides with some of the concepts you requested."

Peng Qingsong finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the boss nod.

During this period, he was annoyed by various decoration companies.

But I have to be patient in communicating with them.

Now that the design has been finalized, I don’t have to deal with them anymore.

"Okay, you let them know and we'll go to their company this afternoon to discuss in detail."

Although Qi Sheng was quite satisfied, some details still needed to be explained.

As the starting point of his career, Qi Sheng naturally wanted to achieve perfection.

"OK."

Peng Qingsong walked aside and called Langyu Decoration to inform them to prepare for the reception.

…

Langyu Decoration.

I heard that my company's design plan was recognized by the big boss.

Wang Bingqin responded excitedly and said that he would make preparations for the reception in advance.

We must make sure that the big boss behind Peng Qingsong can feel the enthusiasm and sincerity of Langyu Decoration.

"Boss, did our plan work?"

Seeing Wang Bingqin hang up the phone with excitement on his face, several designers with dark circles under their eyes hurriedly asked a question.

"That's right, our hard work has not been in vain. Party A is very satisfied with our design and will come over to sign the contract later."

"Everyone, pack up quickly and notify the administration department to prepare for the reception."

"I'll contact the boss right away. With my status alone, I'm not qualified to receive that big boss."

Wang Bingqin touched his bald head excitedly and gave instructions to his subordinates in an orderly manner.

Now that he is middle-aged, he is under a lot of pressure.

This time I was able to lead the team to win this big order.

The commission alone is enough for him to eat his fill.

"Great! I must have a foot massage tonight!"

Several single designers cheered in unison.

The client's requirements this time were too high, and they were working overtime almost every day.

Now that we are about to get a big order, we have to act cool and stylish.

"Ahem, your sister-in-law is taking the kids back to her parents' home, and I'll go there too in the evening."

Wang Bingqin naturally wanted to take this opportunity to relax and showed a tacit smile between men.

…

Three o'clock in the afternoon.

At the entrance of Langyu Decoration, a group of people have been waiting for a long time.

Design director Wang Bingqin stood behind a middle-aged man in his forties, smiling attentively and saying something from time to time.

“Here it comes!”

Wang Bingqin saw a blue BMW 7 Series slowly driving towards them.

After the car stopped, a young man in his twenties got out from the back seat.

He is tall and handsome, and he can easily win a big order of 25 million.

He really has the demeanor of a wealthy and noble young man.

Xu Qinghui, the boss of Langyu Decoration, was stunned for a moment, but soon extended his hand enthusiastically.

"Mr. Qi, welcome to our Langyu Decoration for inspection. Please come in."

Xu Qinghui has been working in the industry for more than 20 years, so he is naturally impeccable in dealing with people.

"Mr. Qi, this is Xu Qinghui, the chairman of Langyu Decoration."

"Director Xu rarely comes to the company. This time he was also alerted by your project."

"I deliberately turned down other social engagements and insisted on receiving you in person."

Wang Bingqin was able to rise to the position of design director, so he must be a veteran.

This light sentence not only gave Qi Sheng enough face, but also showed Xu Qinghui's sincerity.

"The team of Langyu Decoration is very strong, which is the most important reason why I chose you to cooperate among many design solutions."

Qi Sheng smiled without comment.

This false enthusiasm will not affect his judgment.

"Thank you for your recognition, Mr. Qi!"

Wang Bingqin was so excited that he bowed quickly. He was very happy to be praised by Party A in front of his boss.

He will be able to remain in the position of design director for some time.

"Lao Wang's design skills are among the best in Chengdu. He will definitely not disappoint Mr. Qi."

Xu Qinghui respected Wang Bingqin very much and patted him on the shoulder to show his closeness.

No company will underestimate such talents who can bring results to the company.

Came to the chairman’s office of Langyu Decoration.

The area is about 70 to 80 square meters, and the decoration design is very grand.

Xu Qinghui waved his hand to signal his secretary to go out, and personally made tea for Qi Sheng, showing off his skills.

"beef?"

Qi Sheng took a sip and his eyes suddenly lit up.

"Boss Qi really knows what's good. That's right, this is the Niulankeng cinnamon I asked my friend to buy."

"I wanted to keep it a secret, but I didn't expect you to recognize it after just one bite."

Xu Qinghui was indeed surprised. He didn't expect that Qi Sheng, at such a young age, was already quite knowledgeable about the tea ceremony.

"Real beef is hard to come by. Mr. Xu must have a way to get me a few pounds."

Qi Sheng was also lucky enough to have that drink once in his previous life.

This cup of tea alone costs five hundred yuan, how can a working person afford it?

Only big guys with a net worth of over 100 million yuan would be willing to use beef worth tens of thousands of yuan per pound as their daily rations or tea.

"Okay, I'll send you his WeChat message later."

Xu Qinghui naturally would not refuse such a small request and agreed to it readily.

The BMW 7 Series that Qi Sheng and his friends rode in when they came here just now was no ordinary car either.

Rather, it is a special model designed by BMW to celebrate the 40th anniversary of its founding.

There are only 200 units available worldwide, and only 40 in China.

Given the strength of domestic bosses, these 40 machines are certainly far from enough to share.

In the end, ownership can only be determined by paying a higher price.

Qi Sheng spent 2 million to buy this top-of-the-line BMW 7 Series model.

As a display for the company's future entertaining.

Anyway, buying a car in the name of the company can deduct taxes, so he naturally won't feel bad about it.

Wang Bingqin felt very emotional as he watched Qi Sheng chatting and laughing with his boss.

Don't underestimate him in the eyes of outsiders, he is a middle-class person with an annual salary of one million and a very glorious life.

But in front of billionaires like Qi Sheng and Xu Qinghui who are worth over 100 million.

His so-called middle-class status is totally unworthy of mention.

The projects people discuss are all worth tens of millions.

A cup of tea can easily cost four or five hundred yuan.

This kind of visible gap in levels is even more frustrating.
