After climbing the stairs to the 23rd floor, Liu Jie took out the access card Su Yan had given her. Knowing that she was the only one who had this card, she couldn't help but smile inwardly. A warm sense of contentment filled her.
Opening the office door, Liu Jie knew Su Yan was already inside.
"Xiaoyan..."
"You're here," Su Yan said as he looked at Liu Jie, who had finally stayed by his side.
He stepped forward and wrapped his arms around Liu Jie's waist.
"Xiaoyan, what are you doing?"
Though she had grown accustomed to Su Yan's hugs, Liu Jie still felt a flutter of nervousness stir within her.
"You know what this is about. We haven't kissed this week yet, have we?"
"Not here, we're in the company."
Even though she protested, Liu Jie's words held no strength. She could only let Su Yan kiss her gently.
Ten minutes later, she pushed him away with slight reluctance.
"Alright, Xiaoyan, that's enough. You must have something important to do at the office, right?"
Su Yan indeed had business to attend to. He returned to his office chair, pulling Liu Jie to sit by his side.
"Aunt Liu, I do have something to handle. Stay with me for a while," Su Yan said, dialing a number.
On the other end of the call, the building's manager answered, sounding a bit surprised. Su Yan hadn't mentioned buying the building for a while, so the manager wondered if something was wrong.
As the manager arrived at Su Yan's office, uneasiness crept up inside him. He knew that Su Yan, the head of Rongyan Investment, was no ordinary person. No one in the Magic City dared to provoke him. His influence was top-tier, with a background in Yancheng. The fact that his company had secured top sponsorships, like Jiaduobao's naming rights, was enough to demonstrate his power.
Seeing Su Yan again made the manager even more nervous.
"Mr. Su, is something wrong with the building?" the manager asked, cautiously.
"Please, have a seat."
Su Yan leaned back on the sofa and gestured for the manager to sit, his gaze steady. The atmosphere made the manager even more uneasy.
"As per our previous agreement, if I choose to buy this building within a year, you must sell it to me for three billion," Su Yan said. "I'm ready to pay the balance now."
He had already calculated his financials and determined that buying the building for three billion posed no issues. Given the upcoming boom in the real estate market, this building would continue to appreciate.
"You want to buy it now?" the manager asked, stunned. Three billion was an enormous sum, even for the wealthiest individuals. It wasn't something casually spent, not even by the likes of Wang Jianlin.
Su Yan simply nodded, his expression calm. "Yes, buy it now and avoid any future hassles."
With his rapidly growing fortune, handling such matters swiftly was necessary. The acquisition of the building was merely a small step in his larger plans.
Liu Jie, sitting beside him, was once again shocked by Su Yan's decisiveness. Being by Su Yan's side felt surreal at times. Just over twenty days ago, he had rented the entire building for eighty million. Now, he was buying it outright for three billion.
Three billion! She couldn't help but feel overwhelmed. Such a sum was unimaginable to her, something no ordinary person could earn in a lifetime. Yet Su Yan had acquired it with apparent ease.
"I'll have the lawyers draft the contract right away," the manager said, his voice filled with respect.
An hour later, Su Yan transferred 2.92 billion in cash to the manager's account.
"Mr. Su, the building is now officially your private property. Given the current real estate trends, you're going to make a significant profit in the future. Our boss even regrets agreeing to sell it for just three billion," the manager said, his tone filled with a hint of regret.
Su Yan simply smiled and nodded, not saying much in response. After the manager left, Su Yan planned to call the headhunting company to inquire about the high-end talent he was recruiting.
But before he could make the call, an unexpected phone call came in. The caller ID showed it was Ma Huateng.
"Hey, Brother Ma."
Su Yan knew that the opportunity he had been waiting for had arrived. After becoming a shareholder of Ali, it was now time to move into Tengxun.
"Brother Su, the opportunity has come. HIM Company is planning to sell some of Tengxun's shares!"
