The news that Tengying Group was going to invest fifteen billion in constructing Tengying Town spread quickly in Magic City.
In recent years, as many private companies grew stronger, investnts in headquarters construction had also been increasing.
Like Alibaba, which spent 6.7 billion in Hangzhou to build a smart headquarters.
Penguin, having super headquarters in all the major top-tier cities.
His investnt of twenty billion was also aid at regathering the group’s scattered divisions once again.
Only a slightly remote suburban area could provide him over 600,000 square ters of space to create his own corporate town.
Not to ntion the outside world, the news first caused a stir within the group.
The top executives were all inquiring about the self-built headquarters town, and Chen Pingsheng also explained it to them uniformly.
By the ti Tengying Town was completed, the scattered brands and enterprises under its umbrella would all be consolidated.
This included Tengying Entertainnt, Fei Yangyang Catering, Bobo Milk Tea, Antler Coffee, Xin Teng Live Streaming, Tenghui Departnt Store, Teng You dia, Yateng Short Drama, Snacks Dash, Dream Fund, and a series of powerful subsidiaries.
Only when these subsidiaries were united could the outside world truly understand.
Why he was able to secure seven hundred acres of land in Magic City to build his own corporate town.
As for when the headquarters town was completed, the existing headquarters buildings in Beijing-Shanghai-Guangzhou-Shenzhen including Xiangjiang would be used for the group’s local divisions.
The area Golden Mountain, although a remote suburb, had the advantage of good air quality.
And driving there wasn’t so congested, the urban transport was relatively convenient.
There were also beautiful beaches and lakes, surely a great place for relaxation and health preservation.
He himself was quite fond of this area.
"Brother-in-law, are we going to move here in the future?"
Little cutie Jiang Peiyao also ca with him to check the headquarters site, where there were a few old factories yet to be demolished.
That was all within Zhengfu’s scope of work, none of his concern.
The headquarters site even stretched along a super-large lake, the scenery would definitely be extrely beautiful after adjustnts.
"Almost," he said. "Look, all this vast land here will soon be ours."
Chen Pingsheng was spirited, even the little cousin next to him had bright eyes, "Brother-in-law, it would be so beautiful if we could plant so oak trees here."
"That’s a good idea."
Chen Pingsheng said, "Once the construction here is completed, we can ask the engineering departnt to transplant a lot of mature oaks over here."
Oak trees, also known as Quercus or oak, morphologically have the following characteristics, their leaves turn yellow or red in the fall.
Once many of these trees are planted, it would make the entire Tengying Town appear as if it were nestled among the forests.
The cost of transplanting mature oak trees was also incredibly high.
Chen Pingsheng had spent one or two hundred billion already, where would he even consider saving a few billion on tree expenses.
The construction of the Ecological Park had to match the ideals in his heart.
To build the headquarters into a secluded paradisiacal town of technology was perfectly in line with his ideal type.
Jiang Peiyao’s phone rang, she took it out from her back pocket, it was still her cousin Song Jun calling.
He was Song Yanxi’s blood cousin as well.
"Brother-in-law, Song Jun wants to co find you."
Chen Pingsheng curiously said, "What could he want!"
"Don’t know, he seems to be bringing his girlfriend over too."
"Alright then."
Song Jun had studied at Fei Yangyang for two years, and after getting two million startup funds in Magic City, he opened a small Hunan cuisine restaurant.
The business was not too good, but with a foundation from Fei Yangyang, he was barely better than so but not as good as others.
Barely making twenty to thirty thousand a year.
An investnt of 1.8 million, earning twenty or thirty thousand a year including his own salary was not worth it in any view.
Of course.
For Song Jun, who did not have to put up his own investnt funds, he was quite satisfied.
It was much better than working for soone else.
Chefs starting a business need to take it steady, and this is generally the state.
Now it’s different from when Fei Yangyang first opened, this year the catering industry’s internal competition is very severe, it’s the sa everywhere.
Making a stable few hundred thousand a year was considered very good.
He had only heard from his wife, Song Yanxi, about this Song Jun recently, who seed to have found a decent girlfriend.
A 985 university graduate, also working in a big company, though his wife did not pay much attention to where exactly.
But she kept hearing that the other party seed to want to get to know them through Song Jun.
That’s why Song Yanxi did not et her cousin’s girlfriend.
She always felt that the other party had ulterior motives.
Song Jun was quite unstable when he first entered society, an unemployed drifter who spent days eating and drinking with friends.
Only after learning at Fei Yangyang for a few years did he slowly get his act together, before coming to Magic City, he even saved up to buy a BYD S7 worth several ten-thousands.
His girlfriend, nad Zhang Sitong, had a pretty na and wasn’t bad looking.
Song Jun got to know her in his own restaurant, and for so reason, they quickly got together.
Song Jun really liked her, almost to the point of complete obedience.
Zhang Sitong had her way with words in front of him, but this girl was also very smart.
The two had been together for so long, and she hardly ever spent Song Jun’s money.
Every ti they went out shopping, she would use frugality as a pretense to make him spend less.
This made Song Jun fall even deeper for her.
It can only be said that won also have different levels.
Only those short-sighted won would constantly think about getting their man to buy them more bags, new model phones, and the like.
Zhang Sitong’s goal was clearly not just there; her only interest was still in Song Jun’s identity and background.
Beyond that, no chef, even one who owned a decent little restaurant, had anything that could attract her.
Once a woman passes the age of twenty-five, unless you’re really tough and can dominate her, she will be very realistic.
Especially in a big city, she’d rather stay single and be as picky as possible.
"Sitong, my cousin is really impressive; try not to be nervous when you et him later," Song Jun said.
"Who is your cousin? How co you’ve never ntioned him before?" Sitong asked.
"He’s my cousin by marriage; I’ve only seen him a few tis when I was a child. Every year I went back, he was always surrounded by influential people, and I rarely even got to speak to him," Song Jun explained.
"I think you’re the one who’s nervous!" she pointed out.
Zhang Sitong had long known who his cousin was, and that was still a surprise.
One ti when she went out to eat,
she inadvertently saw a stunningly beautiful woman driving a Bentley, bringing a little girl along to eat there.
After a bit of inquiry, she learned that the goddess-like figure was actually his cousin.
What Song Jun didn’t know was that Water Cloud Space’s Magic City Public Charity Library had been designed by the design firm where Zhang Sitong worked.
How could she not know what the boss’s wife of Water Cloud Space was?
Not to ntion she managed the country’s highest-end chain of beauty and wellness centers, her man was even more impressive.
He was a top business figure constantly featured in the finance news.
It was because of this information that Zhang Sitong imdiately started interacting with Song Jun.
How could a man from a small place resist the personal charm of a high-level white-collar in the big city?
She was smart, never greedy for small gains.
Everything was for today. Continue reading stories on .Côm
Being able to strike up a conversation with such a top figure was worth more than ten Hers bags combined.
As for bags, she could afford them with her own salary.
But a figure like Chen Pingsheng was soone she couldn’t reach even on tiptoes.
Compared to him, she naturally wouldn’t care about the little gifts that Song Jun offered.
She simply pretended to be a woman who was pure at heart and reckless for love.
How worldly could a man from a small town be? With a little maneuvering, she had him head over heels in love.
Pity, though Zhang Sitong knew she could easily deceive Song Jun,
she couldn’t possibly deceive his cousin of that stature.
She had even fantasized many tis about how to present herself when she first t him.
Would she be like what Song Jun saw now, being together simply because of affection?
Or should she be blunt, clarify her stance, and openly express that she was with him because she wanted to break through that impenetrable class barrier?
They might even get married in the future, and she would honestly stay at ho, supporting her husband and teaching her children.
Or perhaps she would join Song Jun in running their own restaurant business.
Zhang Sitong was very clear that if she chose this path, she was most likely staking her whole life on it.
It was a very helpless matter; despite earning over twenty thousand a month, it ant nothing in Magic City.
Setting up her own ho was incredibly difficult.
Rather than that, she might as well gamble on this slim hope.
Any dream-like love is extrely fragile in the face of material reality.
Only a woman born with everything can afford to talk about love without care.
What made Zhang Sitong smarter than most won was that she knew playing innocent in front of a powerful figure was the ultimate folly.
Because anyone who could be a boss has seen more people than you’ve eaten als.
Their eyes could easily see through all the niceties of human relationships.
No matter how complex the scheming, it was fragile in front of a formidable figure.
They would either stay silent or strike a killing blow.
They wouldn’t give you a second chance to pretend; therefore, for this eting,
Zhang Sitong had spent dozens of nights studying nurous psychological and behavioral theories to analyze the best way to win the boss’s favor.
After much analysis, her final plan was to speak less and be more genuine.
Avoiding Song Jun, she would face her own selfish motives candidly.
Perhaps this was the only way to make such a big figure appreciate her, even a little.
Even if he didn’t appreciate her, at least he wouldn’t despise her.
Isn’t everyone living to advance themselves?
She was doing the sa, so what was wrong with that!
Only to say, even Song Jun himself wasn’t too clear what his cousin-in-law ant to the average urban white-collar worker or college student.
It represented a ladder to the heavens and endless wealth.
For any woman, these two combined are lethal.
And she was definitely no exception.
So, what is love?
Love is being with him when you don’t have many choices.
And when soone better appears by your side, even beyond what you imagined possible,
you would inevitably be attracted to him.
If that is the case, then what is love?
It’s all for a better life.
