Chapter 104: Chapter 102: Recruiting Soldiers and Buying Horses
The next morning.
Gao Yuan resumed his daily fitness routine.
He had already completed 2% of the fitness task issued by the System and needed to keep at it.
As for the cooking task, which was the first one he received, his progress had reached 97%. He was confident it wouldn’t be long before it was complete.
Right now, he still needed 33 experience points for the System to reach level three.
Completing his current tasks should be just enough.
At that point, the System’s daily cash-back limit would increase again, and the funds he was accumulating would grow even faster.
What he needed to do now was to hurry up and build the framework for his e-commerce company and recruit talented people.
After his workout, Gao Yuan returned home and had breakfast with Li Mengqing.
Li Mengqing had made breakfast. Although it wasn’t as good as Gao Yuan’s cooking, he still praised her highly.
In a relationship, whether you’re dating or married, giving praise is incredibly important.
Everyone wants to be praised, especially by their significant other.
People aren’t stupid; deep down, they have a clear sense of self-awareness.
At times like this, a well-intentioned compliment can give the other person a great deal of strength.
Just like how Gao Yuan praised Li Mengqing this morning. It not only put her in a good mood, but he believed she would be more dedicated to cooking in the future and would sooner or later be able to make delicious meals.
Of course,
the praise couldn’t be too insincere. If she saw through it, the loss would outweigh the gain.
Gao Yuan drove Li Mengqing and personally dropped her off at her office building.
Before she got out, he gave Li Mengqing a loving kiss and drove away.
Unexpectedly, this scene was witnessed by Tongtong, who was also arriving at the company.
Although she couldn’t see if the man was Gao Yuan, the only man who had recently appeared in Li Mengqing’s life was Gao Yuan.
If that man was indeed Gao Yuan, she thought, ’I’ve really struck it rich this time!’
Other people might not recognize that car, but as someone who spent all her time online, Tongtong recognized it in a single glance.
A Brabus!
The fighter jet of Mercedes-Benz!
Leaving Tongtong to her fantasies, Gao Yuan drove his Brabus G900 straight to the Hang City Century Center, also known as "the Big Underpants."
Before leaving that morning, he had already made an appointment with Yu Feifei, the young real estate agent who had helped him rent his apartment.
Since Gao Yuan was going to look at office buildings today, he figured he might as well contact her.
Gao Yuan had a good impression of her. Her good attitude was one thing, but her ability to resist temptation was a rare and valuable quality.
So, renting an office space through her again would be like doing her a favor.
Gao Yuan parked his car in the Century Center’s parking lot and got out to see the landmark Hang City building.
It was said to be 310 meters tall, with over sixty floors.
Standing below and looking up, it truly felt magnificent—a much more impressive sight than the Bodi Center where he used to work.
"I’m here, at the main entrance of the Century Center."
Gao Yuan sent a message to Yu Feifei on WeChat.
A short while later,
Yu Feifei’s figure appeared at the main entrance of the Century Center. She stood there, looking around for Gao Yuan.
She knew what Gao Yuan was capable of; he had rented that expensive apartment at No.1 Courtyard without a second thought.
This time, looking at office spaces, she would most likely earn another large commission.
After receiving Gao Yuan’s message, she had left her office immediately. Even after rushing on the subway, she still arrived a step later than him.
’This young lady really needs to work on her observation skills!’
Seeing a message from Yu Feifei on his phone, Gao Yuan locked his car and started walking toward her.
"Hey, beautiful. It’s only been a few days, how have you gotten so worn out!"
Gao Yuan walked up behind Yu Feifei and tapped her on the shoulder.
"Ah!"
"Mr. Gao, where did you come from? You scared me."
Gao Yuan watched Yu Feifei jump back a step and couldn’t help but chuckle.
He pointed in the direction of his car. "I came from over there."
Yu Feifei looked over and immediately saw the enormous Brabus G900.
"That car is so cool!"
"After you show me the office, I’m going to sneak over and take a picture with it."
A playful mood struck Gao Yuan. He leaned in a little closer and said, "I’ll take the picture for you later. I’m a really great photographer~"
Yu Feifei made a finger heart at Gao Yuan, then led him toward the lobby.
"The office spaces here at the Century Center tend to be on the larger side."
"The one I’m showing you today is an 800-square-meter office."
"..."
Gao Yuan listened silently to Yu Feifei’s introduction along the way, giving no reaction.
square meters was enough space for his needs.
But Gao Yuan’s way of thinking was different from other bosses.
He held an Employee Ability Enhancement Card. As long as he recruited enough talented people, he could gain up to a 30% boost.
This was a game-changer!
Therefore, when it came to choosing an office, he wanted to create an exceptionally comfortable work environment for his employees.
He wanted his employees to feel at ease during work, so they would be motivated to improve their own efficiency.
The two took the elevator to the 26th floor. The office directly facing the elevators was the one they were there to see.
This office space was fully furnished. From the reception desk at the entrance to the main hall, private offices, and employee lounge area, all the office facilities were complete.
Gao Yuan took a look around. The main hall could fit a full 80 workstations. There were also four large private offices.
Moreover, standing by the window, you could see a prime river view. The scenery was incredibly open.
Gao Yuan walked a circuit of the office and was very satisfied with the place.
One private office would be for him, one would be a conference room, and the remaining two would be converted into two livestreaming studios.
As for the employees, they could all work in the main hall for the time being.
This was only a transitional office space anyway. Once the GY brand of skincare products made a name for itself and sales exploded, he would definitely need to move to an even larger office.
After asking Yu Feifei about small details like the rent and proximity to the subway station, Gao Yuan decided to take the office.
Seeing how decisive Gao Yuan was, and since he was renting it to start his own business, Yu Feifei secretly told him that he could negotiate the rent further and probably lower the price by a few yuan per square meter.
In response, Gao Yuan just smiled and left the negotiations for her to handle.
The landlord arrived shortly after.
After confirming that this was the actual primary landlord, Gao Yuan signed the agreement and transferred 200,000 yuan.
The contract was for one year, with rent paid quarterly and a deposit of 50,000 yuan.
At the same time, Gao Yuan made a request of the landlord.
He needed half of the workstations in the main hall removed, leaving only 40.
He didn’t want the workspace to be so dense, as that would create a high-pressure atmosphere.
The landlord naturally agreed to this request from Gao Yuan.
With the office space leased, Gao Yuan and Yu Feifei went downstairs.
Having helped Gao Yuan find a satisfactory office space and earned a commission, Yu Feifei was naturally in an excellent mood.
She immediately offered to treat Gao Yuan to lunch.
When they arrived back at the main entrance of the Century Center, she once again saw the Brabus G900.
"President Gao, if we go take a picture now, we won’t run into the owner, will we?"
Hearing her words, Gao Yuan was surprised she was still thinking about taking pictures with his car.
"Come on, I’ll take you to get your picture."
Gao Yuan walked directly toward his car.
Yu Feifei hesitated for a moment, but couldn’t resist the allure of the luxury car and followed him.
"Hurry up and strike a pose while the owner’s not here!"
Yu Feifei wasted no more time. She handed her phone to Gao Yuan, ran over to the Brabus G900, leaned over the hood, and kicked up one of her feet.
CLICK. CLICK. CLICK.
Gao Yuan snapped several pictures of Yu Feifei in a row.
Standing in front of the Brabus G900, Yu Feifei looked quite petite. Already not very tall, she was only a tiny bit taller than the vehicle’s hood.
In the photos, she looked like a little kitten beside a giant beast.
As the two of them were taking pictures, a man and a woman walked up to them.
