Chapter 517: Chapter 296: Rent a Floor? Buy a Building!
“Mr. Chen, did you not sleep well last night?”
Driving the car, Chen Donghai noticed Chen Cheng in the back seat looking noticeably weary and asked.
Chen Cheng yawned twice in succession, “Yeah, tossed and turned all night, didn’t sleep well.”
He first thought of Xiao Meier who wanted water in the middle of the night, then Meng Wanning who ended up vomiting all over the floor, and Mei Xiang who sleepily rolled out of bed, which truly gave him a headache.
“Too tired,” Chen Cheng sighed.
Chen Donghai glanced at Chen Cheng through the rearview mirror, and replied with a smile, “You’re tired yet blissful, I see.”
Chen Cheng shook his head helplessly, no longer speaking, just gazing out of the car window, watching the morning traffic congestion, wishing only to finish his tasks quickly and return home for a nap.
The two soon arrived near International Trade, after parking the car, Chen Donghai started contacting the property manager they had an appointment with.
Chen Cheng, with nothing else to do, went to buy a cup of coffee to perk up. When he came back, Chen Donghai and the property manager were already waiting.
“Mr. Chen, this is the manager of the International Trade Building, Manager Li.”
“Manager Li, hello.” Chen Cheng politely stretched out his hand and shook hands with Manager Li.
“Mr. Chen, hello, hello! I’ve long admired your reputation!” Manager Li responded enthusiastically, his face full of smiles.
Being able to serve a potential client like Chen Cheng was also a rare opportunity for him.
After exchanging pleasantries, Manager Li led Chen Cheng and Chen Donghai to visit several floors that had been arranged in advance.
Along the way, he kept introducing the advantages of the International Trade Building, from its location to property services, sparing no detail, eager to leave the best impression on Chen Cheng.
First, they came to the office area on the 36th floor.
Manager Li gestured to the bustling view outside the window and introduced non-stop, “Mr. Chen, look, this floor has an excellent view, absolutely a symbol of stature!”
Chen Cheng walked to the window, admiring the view outside, sipping on his iced Americano, and said unhurriedly, “Looks okay, but I always feel that…”
“Mr. Chen, please say.”
“It’s a bit low, I prefer something higher,” Chen Cheng turned around and said.
Manager Li quickly responded, “We also have the 42nd and 55th floors available for rent, how about we go directly to check out the 55th floor?”
“Okay,” Chen Cheng nodded in agreement.
The high-speed elevator ascended smoothly, and Manager Li introduced timely on the side, “Mr. Chen, the 55th floor is the prime floor of the International Trade Building, with the most expansive view, not only overlooking the entire CBD core area but also offering a distant view of the Xishan scenery.”
When the elevator doors opened, what came into view was a spacious and bright foyer, decorated in a simple and grand style, exuding a modern business atmosphere.
Manager Li made a welcoming gesture, leading Chen Cheng and Chen Donghai into the office area.
“Mr. Chen, as you can see, this floor’s office area features a full floor-to-ceiling window design, with excellent natural light and an unparalleled view.”
Manager Li, with a hint of pride in his voice, pointed out the window, “Working here, you’ll feel the vitality and prosperity of the city every day, like you’re on top of the world.”
Chen Cheng scanned the area, “Not bad.”
Seizing the moment, Manager Li continued to introduce, “The office area on this floor can be flexibly divided according to your company’s needs, whether it’s an open office area or individual offices, it can all be easily realized.”
“We’ve also equipped it with the most advanced smart office system, including high-speed internet, video conferencing systems, etc., to ensure your work efficiency and convenience.”
He took Chen Cheng to see the reserved meeting room, pointing to the advanced equipment inside and said, “This meeting room can accommodate 50 people, equipped with high-definition projectors, surround sound systems, and other equipment, very suitable for hosting various business meetings and training events.”
Then, he pointed to another area, introducing, “Here we have reserved a pantry and rest area for you to decorate and organize according to your own needs, providing a comfortable break space for your employees.”
Finally, Manager Li took Chen Cheng to an independent office, saying, “Mr. Chen, if you need a private office, we’ve also reserved several options for you. This office has the largest space, the best lighting, and the widest view, very suitable for your exclusive work space.”
Chen Cheng walked into the office, looked around the spacious and bright space, indeed an ideal place for work.
He walked to the window, everything beneath his feet became tiny, and as he looked up again, the glass curtain wall of the CGG Building was right before his eyes.
“Isn’t that CGG?” said Chen Cheng.
“Yes, Mr. Chen, the CGG Building is just next to your office.”
Manager Li thought this was an advantage, “From this direction, the walking distance between the two buildings is less than five minutes, very convenient.”
Chen Cheng didn’t immediately respond, but stood by the window, gaze fixed on the CGG Building opposite.
Occasionally lowering his head, then looking up towards the top of the CGG Building, he felt even more that this 55th floor’s height still didn’t meet his expectations.
Chen Donghai stepped forward, “Mr. Chen, you said?”
Chen Cheng turned around, “Is there an entire building available?”
“An entire… building?!”
Even the worldly Chen Donghai was astonished by Chen Cheng’s comment, “Mr. Chen, you mean…”
“Renting one floor seems a bit stingy, if we are to do it, we should do it in the biggest way,” Chen Cheng finished his coffee, “Otherwise, how can my Dili’s brand make an impact?”
“Alright Mr. Chen, I’ll keep an eye out.”
Chen Cheng patted Chen Donghai’s shoulder, and the two left under Manager Li’s astonished gaze.
“An entire building? Must be joking, right? Taking me for a ride early in the morning.”
