Qin Hao nodded slightly, "Mmm, get ready, today I'll take soone to look at the office spaces."
"Okay, Mr. Qin," Yu Jie nodded slightly in response.
Qin Hao stepped out of the finance room and called out Tian Yai, Yuan Qing, and Liu Man.
He asked, "Which office space did you three think was good when you went to see them yesterday?"

Tian Yai spoke up, "We looked at a few, and Shenghua Office Building is not only conveniently located and reasonably priced, but it's also close to the downtown area."
Qin Hao nodded slightly, "Mmm, okay, let's go talk about it today."
After leaving the roast duck restaurant, Qin Hao realized a big problem as he looked at the Jinbei van parked beside him.
Should we really use this van for business negotiations? Isn't that a bit too embarrassing?
Tian Yai seed to sense his embarrassnt and said with a smile, "Mr. Qin, you can take my car."
After she spoke, she took out her car keys; parked not far away was a Honda Civic worth about a hundred thousand yuan or so.
Qin Hao was sowhat speechless. An employee's car is better than the boss's. Wouldn't people laugh their heads off if word got out?
Seeing Yuan Qing and Liu Man trying to hold back their laughter, he said irritably, "If you want to laugh, just laugh. It's uncomfortable to hold it in."
"Pfft"
Tian Yai was the first who couldn't help but laugh, "Mr. Qin, with your status, I think you should buy a car."
Qin Hao was exasperated, "I know, just focus on the office spaces for now."
Once in the car, Qin Hao sat in the passenger seat, with Yuan Qing and Liu Man in the back.
Half an hour later, Tian Yai drove them to the parking lot of the Shenghua Office Building.
Getting out of the car, Qin Hao started to walk towards the building, but Tian Yai quickly pulled him back, "Mr. Qin, it's not good for you to go in like this."
Qin Hao looked at her, puzzled, "What do you an 'like this'? What's the matter?"
Tian Yai reminded him, "In Jinchen City, those bosses always dress formally for business talks, wearing suits and leather shoes."
She didn't say the following words out loud, but if you don't dress formally, the other party might look down on you, or feel you're not respecting them.
Of course, that's when facing major clients. For negotiations like these, it's not a big issue.
But as a subordinate, she must remind her boss of so matters, so he wouldn't stumble on such details in the future.
Qin Hao nodded slightly, "Mmm, you're right, people who've been to big cities do have more experience."
Tian Yai's smile imdiately disappeared from her face, "Mr. Qin, are you mocking ?"
Qin Hao said with a smile, "No, I was just joking. Don't be so stiff. Co on, let's go up for the negotiation."
Under the guidance of Tian Yai, they arrived at the top floor of the Longhua Building, and then t a manager from the Longhua Building.
After Qin Hao greeted him, he sat down on a chair and discussed the lease with the manager.
After talking for a while, the group took the elevator to the tenth floor.
Qin Hao looked around; the space was about a thousand square ters, very large, which could accommodate the company's expansion in the future.
The manager of the Shenghua Building spoke up, "A company just moved out of here recently."
Tian Yai turned to Qin Hao and asked, "Mr. Qin, what do you think about this place?"
Qin Hao nodded slightly, "It's not bad. Mr. Li, please tell us the price."
Mr. Li glanced at Qin Hao, "The monthly rent here is very affordable for a thousand square ters, one hundred and ten thousand a month."
Tian Yai spoke up, "Mr. Li, that's not an affordable price. We've visited many office buildings, and yours is almost the most expensive.
Give us a real offer. If it's acceptable, we'll rent it. If it's still this price, we'll have to look elsewhere."
...
After so negotiation, the final price was set at ninety thousand a month, after Tian Yai checked the contract.
Qin Hao had just signed the two-year rental contract.
Initially, he needed to pay three months of rent, and thereafter, the rent would be due monthly.
After finalizing the contract, Qin Hao directly swiped his card for just under three hundred thousand yuan.
Mr. Li from Shenghua Real Estate left as soon as the contract was signed.
Qin Hao said to Tian Yai and the others, "Do a simple renovation, purchase desks, computers, and other office supplies as soon as possible, then use the invoices to get reimbursed by the finance departnt."
"Mm-hmm, okay, Mr. Qin," the three of them nodded in agreent.
Working here would be so much better than that small roast duck shop, and it certainly looked more upscale.
After leaving the Shenghua Building, Qin Hao said to Tian Yai, "Let's go have a look at Yonghe Street."
"Mm-hmm, okay, Mr. Qin."
Tian Yai drove as instructed to a busier part of Yonghe Street.
Curious, Tian Yai asked, "Mr. Qin, where are we heading next?"
Qin Hao: "Just park the car outside of Fubang Real Estate sales office."
After parking the car, Tian Yai and the others followed Qin Hao into Fubang Real Estate sales office.
"Welco," said the receptionist at the front desk with a smile.
Qin Hao imdiately asked, "How much is that larger retail space on the side?"
The receptionist replied with a smile, "This area is bustling and has a high foot traffic, so it's priced higher, at eleven thousand and one hundred yuan per square ter.
The larger retail space is over one hundred and seventy square ters, so the price is roughly one million eight hundred ninety thousand.
Moreover, our properties are renovated, so sir, you only need to do so simple redecorating, and you can start your business right away."
Qin Hao nodded slightly: "Take us to have a look, and if it's suitable, I'll buy it."
"Certainly, sir, please wait a mont," the receptionist said as she hurried to get the keys.
She then led Qin Hao and the others to inspect the retail space, which was quite large—big enough to operate a roast duck restaurant.
Back at the sales office, the receptionist asked with a smile, "What do you think, sir?"
"Hmm, it's acceptable," Qin Hao nodded slightly.
At that mont, two people ca downstairs, a man and a woman.
Liu Jianming said while descending, "Wang, arrange sothing for tomorrow; I want to entertain so friends."
"Mm-hmm, okay, Mr. Liu."
The young woman known as Wang was made up and dressed in a professional miniskirt with a decent figure, her face still flushed.
It was unclear whether she was flushed from the heat or so other reason.
As Liu Jianming reached the bottom of the stairs, several female sales associates on the first floor respectfully greeted, "Mr. Liu."
Liu Jianming nodded slightly, and his gaze inadvertently fell on Qin Hao, causing him to freeze.
"Isn't that Hao?" After confirming it was Qin Hao, Liu Jianming hurried over, simultaneously casting a glance at Tian Yai and the others.
Both the receptionist and Tian Yai's group were taken aback.
Qin Hao glanced at Liu Jianming and said with a faint smile, "Haven't seen you in a few days, Mr. Liu, and you've gained weight again."
Liu Jianming chuckled, "You're joking, Hao. Even drinking water makes put on weight, I really want to lose so."
All the sales associates at Fubang Real Estate Company were stunned. When had Mr. Liu ever spoken so casually to soone?
Who exactly was this person?
The sales associate showing Qin Hao the property was also dumbfounded. You know our general manager, and you still co to us for...?
