Chapter 8 Today You Can Like

Liu Wei is in a sunny mood today.

Just this morning, Mr. Zhang, the tenant on the sixteenth floor, suddenly wanted to introduce him to some business, supposedly a big client who had returned from overseas.

This client wants to rent at least two floors and has a sufficient budget.

So he brought two bottles of good wine.

He's paying for today's meal.

Inside the private room, the client brought by General Manager Zhang was very young, dressed in a suit and tie, with gold-rimmed glasses, looking every bit the refined scoundrel.

Liu Wei usually hates this kind of person the most—someone who looks respectable but is actually filthy inside. But today is different.

He was somewhat pleased today.

After exchanging a few polite words in the private room, Liu Wei was about to go out to call the waiter for the dishes when he saw a familiar face as soon as he opened the door.

His client's boss—Su Ming.

"Hello, Mr. Liu." Su Ming waved and greeted him, looking relaxed.

"Hello, Mr. Su... You're here to eat too?" Liu Wei was taken aback before responding to Su Ming.

"No! I'm here to take a dump."

Liu Wei: "..."

"Hahaha...President Su is so humorous." Liu Wei laughed awkwardly.

"It's alright. I heard the toilets here are quite comfortable." Su Ming nodded, giving him a "you have good taste" look.

Liu Wei's lips twitched, and he walked past Su Ming, intending to quickly order food.

"Xiao Su, you're here! Come in, come in!" General Manager Zhang greeted her warmly. "I'll introduce you to a friend."

Su Ming entered the private room, his gaze subtly sweeping over the young man next to Uncle Zhang.

He was twenty-six or twenty-seven years old, dressed impeccably, and exuded an air of sophistication.

Su Ming glanced at his white shoes, which had turned a little black, and nodded to himself.

Sure enough, the other person's aura was almost catching up with his own.

The favorability system will be activated automatically.

Zhang Zhicheng

[Favorability: 80/100]

Gu Yun

[Favorability 45/100]

Su Ming stared at the favorability rating above Gu Yun's head, his eyes narrowing.

Forty-five points?

Not even passing grade, this guy has bad intentions.

"Come, come, have a seat." Mr. Zhang pointed to the seat next to him.

Su Ming obediently sat down, and then General Manager Zhang began his introduction.

"This is Gu Yun, President Gu. He just returned from overseas and is preparing to launch a big project here."

Mr. Zhang pointed to the young man next to him, his face beaming with smiles.

Then he pointed to Su Ming: "This is Su Ming, my nephew, who works at Starlight Shines."

Young people are quick-witted, but sometimes their ideas are a bit too far-fetched, haha.

Gu Yun raised his head slightly, which was considered a greeting.

But a faint hint of disdain flickered in his eyes, which Su Ming quickly masked, though he still caught it.

"Little Su!" General Manager Zhang looked at Su Ming with a smile and said sincerely, "I specially called you here today because I wanted you to make more connections. General Manager Gu's project is very big and has good prospects for future development. You can learn more about it."

Su Ming felt a warmth in his heart; he knew that Uncle Zhang genuinely wanted to take care of him.

"Thank you, Uncle Zhang, you've gone to so much trouble," Su Ming said, nodding with a grateful expression.

"Don't mention it, we're all family." President Zhang patted Su Ming on the shoulder.

Soon, Liu Wei returned to the private room, and the dishes were served one after another.

"Come on, let's eat and chat," Mr. Zhang said, pouring drinks for everyone.

"Mr. Gu, regarding that project we discussed before, I think it's feasible," Mr. Zhang said, raising his glass. "I've discussed it with several shareholders, and they are all very supportive."

Gu Yun put down his chopsticks, a glint of shrewdness flashing in his eyes, and said calmly, "President Zhang is indeed a wise man. Then I'll toast President Zhang."

Su Ming listened quietly from the side. Although he didn't know what project Mr. Zhang was talking about, it seemed to be very impressive.

"Come on, let's drink together." Su Ming also raised his glass and naturally turned to Liu Wei next to him. "Brother Liu, let me toast you. Please take care of me in the future."

Liu Wei quickly raised his glass: "Xiao Su, you're too kind. Let's look after each other."

As the two clinked glasses, Liu Wei lowered his voice and said, "President Su, this is a major client; he wants to rent two floors."

Su Ming's eyes lit up, and he nodded secretly.

"I don't know much about the specific operational aspects, including business planning and monetization, so that's something you'll have to handle, Mr. Gu," Mr. Zhang continued. "But I can still help with things like connections, resources, and renting a place."

Gu Yun nodded, a genuine smile finally appearing on his face: "With Mr. Zhang's words, I'm relieved. Thank you very much for your great help, Mr. Zhang."

Upon hearing the word "renting a house," Su Ming immediately triggered the relevant keyword.

He immediately looked up at Liu Wei, who was also looking over at him, and their eyes met.

Kill him! Kill him!

Slaughter them! Slaughter them!

Su Ming was overjoyed, but then President Zhang suddenly changed the subject.

His gaze turned to Su Ming: "Little Su, look, President Gu's new company is about to be established, and they're in dire need of manpower. Are you interested in showing off your skills and learning some real expertise from someone as capable as President Gu?"

Su Ming looked up at President Zhang, paused for a moment, and then said in a serious tone, "Uncle Zhang, let's skip the fighting."

"Why would you just let it go?" Mr. Zhang asked, puzzled. "Such a good opportunity, don't you want to seize it?"

"Uncle Zhang, it's not that I don't know what's good for me..." Su Ming shook his head and said somewhat awkwardly, "It's just that I'm... sigh, too serious."

"Oh? How so?" Uncle Zhang became interested, and Gu Yun also raised his eyebrows slightly, wanting to hear what kind of explanation he had.

Su Ming paused, glanced at the three people at the table, and then said in a calm tone as if stating a truth, "It's difficult to handle something as unconventional as going to work..."

General Manager Zhang: "..."

Gu Yun: "..."

Liu Wei: "..." (bows head and coughs violently)

All three remained silent; the room was so quiet you could hear a pin drop, with only the faint hum of the air conditioner vents breaking the silence.

Seeing that no one spoke, Su Ming continued, "Moreover, I've recently been researching a new way of maintaining health, which emphasizes the unity of waist and stance. Going to work only distracts me and affects my speed in drawing my sword."

Mr. Zhang's lips twitched.

Aren't you already working a glamorous job?

"Ahem!" General Manager Zhang cleared his throat, catching his thoughts. "Xiao Su, young people should prioritize their careers and be down-to-earth..."

"Hmm..." Su Ming nodded thoughtfully, then, thinking of his rental business, gave Boss Zhang a thumbs up: "Uncle Zhang is right! I know what to do now."

As he spoke, Su Ming gave Liu Wei a wink, signaling that they must capture Gu Yun and fleece him.

Liu Wei made a gesture: ojbk!

Gu Yun watched from the side, her disdain growing even stronger.

"Isn't this just plain stupid?!"

This kind of lunatic, Mr. Zhang actually thought of introducing him to him?

Gu Yun then picked up the decanter, poured himself a glass of wine, turned to Liu Wei, and put on a businesslike smile: "Mr. Liu, I'd like to propose a toast to you."

Mr. Liu raised his glass in a toast, and then Gu Yun continued, "I really need to ask you to take care of the office space this time."

Our initial team needs about 4,000 to 5,000 square meters of space, and we may need to expand later. Do you know of any suitable floors in the Hongyun Building that you could recommend?

Four or five thousand square meters?

Su Ming couldn't help but burst out laughing.
