Bai Xiaosheng wouldn’t let scoundrels like Mu Changlin and Jin Yonghui off the hook.
But before punishing them, he had indeed something else to do.
Miranda said that this place was very important for their current stage of development, and changing the location would be all harm and no benefit.
Since Bai Xiaosheng’s arrival, he had looked around and felt that the environment was indeed nice, truly up to the standard of a Grade-A office building, suitable for an office and conducive to the company’s development.
As everyone was on tenterhooks, waiting for Bai Xiaosheng’s command, he unexpectedly ignored the current issue and turned to ask Ron, "How much for one floor here?"
Ron was instantly stunned.
Even Miranda beside him was somewhat astonished.
Why was he suddenly asking the price of this place, and what’s more, the price per floor?
Was there any precedent for pricing per floor?
Shouldn’t it be how much per square meter?
Hearing the tone of their real boss, it was almost like he was buying vegetables in a market, as though asking, "How much is this cabbage per pound, and how much for these radishes per pound...?"
"A whole floor?" Ron hadn’t come back to his senses.
"Ninety-five million!" It was Miranda who chimed in first.
Bai Xiaosheng looked at her, nodded, and smiled at Ron, "I mean, Pangzi, if there’s an issue, can’t you just talk to me? You always call me the boss, but is this how you treat me as a boss?"
Ron opened his mouth but didn’t know how to respond.
"Alright, this was also my oversight. I should have realized that the money we had initially was not enough for you to set up and maintain a company," Bai Xiaosheng said apologetically as he glanced outside at the Ron Team.
Within the Ron Team, a few who understood German translated the words, and everyone was visibly moved.
Originally, it was Bai Xiaosheng who ensured their well-being, preventing the team from breaking up. He invited them to the East to revive their spirits and also facilitated Kelson to look after their families.
What did he have to feel guilty about? He was already the best boss!
"BOSS, don’t say that, you’re the best!"
"That’s right, you’ll always be our best boss!"
The crowd was impassioned.
Mu Changlin and Jin Yonghui overheard Bai Xiaosheng speaking German, and amidst the uproar from these foreigners, they almost wet themselves in fear, thinking that these tall and brawny fellows would start a fight at Bai Xiaosheng’s instigation!
They wouldn’t survive the beating!
"What did they say?" Mu Changlin grabbed the translator beside him and demanded urgently.
The translator hurriedly explained.
Those who understood Chinese finally caught on.
Mu Changlin and Jin Yonghui heaved a sigh of relief, but they didn’t dare to act arrogant anymore.
Once everyone calmed down a bit, Bai Xiaosheng then looked at Mu Changlin and said coldly, "I’ll buy this floor."
He said this in Chinese.
With a casual demeanor, it made Mu Changlin’s pupils suddenly dilate.
He looked at Bai Xiaosheng and stuttered, "You said, you want to buy, buy, buy this floor?"
This nonchalant generosity was somewhat unbelievable to Mu Changlin.
Jin Yonghui and the others were also dumbstruck.
Even Lin Weiwei was taken aback.
Just casually spending a billion yuan?
The most shocking was the casual attitude itself, which left everyone speechless.
Miranda translated the words for Ron, and when the members of the Ron Team heard it, there was a burst of exclamations.
For a company, allocating a billion wouldn’t be much, but as an individual, one would have to possess an immense amount of assets to speak so freely.
"Really?" Mu Changlin couldn’t help but ask to confirm, his voice trembling.
"I’ll pay in full," Bai Xiaosheng said calmly, looking at him.
Mu Changlin was suddenly excited.
If it was true, then he had made a fortune today!
Mu Changlin’s reaction caught Bai Xiaosheng’s eye. In his heart, Bai Xiaosheng couldn’t help but sneer coldly.
"Mr. Mu is getting happy too early, thinking he’s secured the deal already," he thought.
Let him be happy for a moment—losing what you’re about to gain is the most painful!
Jin Yonghui also couldn’t believe it as he looked at Bai Xiaosheng. Their company was buying two half floors for a total of one billion, while this young man casually spoke of a deal worth one billion!
What’s his background?
Jin Yonghui scrutinized Bai Xiaosheng carefully, growing increasingly uneasy. The more attention he paid to the young man, the more astonishing the aura he emitted seemed!
The oppressive feeling that came out of nowhere made him even more reverent!
This might actually be an extraordinary person.
"You said you’ll buy this entire floor... can you sign the contract and pay, pay the deposit today?" Mu Changlin asked with a quivering voice.
"I said full payment. As quickly as you can get it done, that’s how quickly the money will be transferred. One billion, it’s not a corporate transaction, it’s a personal purchase," Bai Xiaosheng said.
Mu Changlin was struck by a huge surprise, and his gaze towards Bai Xiaosheng became extremely respectful, even to the point of being obsequious.
"Alright, alright, I’ll get it to you right now, prepare the contract for you!" Mu Changlin said.
Jin Yonghui and his company had already signed for half a floor, securing the deal, just leaving this other half behind.
Compared to them, Jin Yonghui and his company were lacking to an extent.
Here, they became the biggest buyer!
"Of course we need to sign a contract," Bai Xiaosheng nodded, but then he smiled, "but not with you!"
His words made Mu Changlin’s smile freeze, and he suddenly exclaimed, "Why?!"
"Because I detest you," Bai Xiaosheng said bluntly.
Mu Changlin stood stunned.
"You’re just an idiot!"
Bai Xiaosheng seriously insulted Mu Changlin with crude words in front of everyone.
The candor of such earnest and proper cussing left everyone astonished.
Lin Weiwei couldn’t help but laugh out loud.
Miranda laughed as she translated loudly, and Ron and the team members roared with laughter.
They had already taken a disliking to Mu Changlin!
Mu Changlin, being mocked by everyone, became flushed with shame and anger, yelling, "I’m telling you, don’t go too far. If you don’t sign with me, who do you want to sign with? I’m the Deputy Director of this project and I manage everything here! I’m the boss in this place!"
"You’re the boss?" Bai Xiaosheng laughed.
He pulled out his phone and dialed a number.
Mu Changlin watched uncertainly, not knowing whom Bai Xiaosheng was calling.
"Could it be, he knows someone in our group?" Mu Changlin was startled, but then he dismissed the thought, "Impossible, he couldn’t possibly know anyone in our group. Otherwise, that group of foreigners would have mentioned it when they were renting the office space!"
"Furthermore, even if he does know someone from the group, what can he do about it? He can’t do anything to me that easily!" Mu Changlin’s eyes shaded with malice.
Even if those foreigners had told this man that he made a profit from the company’s project, they had no evidence, and he had more than a dozen excuses to get himself off the hook!
He also had detailed contingency plans!
Thinking this way, Mu Changlin instantly relaxed.
Bai Xiaosheng glanced at him indifferently.
It wasn’t long before his call connected.
"Young Bai, what’s up? You’ve actually got time to give me a call," a hearty laugh came from the phone.
"Brother Wang, I need a favor from you!" Bai Xiaosheng said with a smile.
"Oh? Just say the word, and I’ll do my best to help out!"
On the other end of the phone was Wang Xincheng.
The secretary to Officer Li of the Affairs Department for the Greater China Region.
The Affairs Department had the authority to monitor all related industries within its jurisdiction!
