Fengcheng fliegender General

Kapitel 20

Qiqi was only annoyed that Gao Jinze hadn't taken the initiative to call her after that.

And so they remained locked in this stalemate. Qi Qi swore she would never call Gao Jinze on her own initiative.

Unfortunately, things didn't go as planned. On Friday afternoon, Zhou Haisheng called Qiqi to the manager's office.

"How's the Tianyuan Apartment situation? Didn't you say that August 12th was very dangerous? It's only a few days away now. Ask Gao Jinze if we can invite the abbot of Lingyin Temple in Hangzhou instead of the abbot of Yufosi Temple. We can squeeze at least 500,000 more out of him!"

Qi Qi was annoyed by Zhou Haisheng's tone, but she couldn't object, so she agreed and came out.

She picked up her phone, dialed Gao Jinze's number, and stared at that name, refusing to dial.

As she looked, the name Gao Jinze became a little blurry. Qi Qi rubbed her eyes, praying silently, "Please call me first...please call me first..."

The sudden ringing of the bell almost made Qiqi jump!

Then look at the caller ID—

Gao Jinze!

It was Gao Jinze calling!

He made the call almost when Qiqi was about to surrender!

Qi Qi's deep resentment towards him vanished in an instant!

Qi Qi took a deep breath, pressed the answer button, and asked in as calm a voice as possible, "Hello, Mr. Gao, what's up?"

"Qiqi, I've been busy with asset appraisal these past few days, and I also felt that apologizing over the phone wasn't sincere enough. I just finished something important for you. Can you come to Tianyuan Apartment now? I'm waiting for you in your company's parking lot."

After a long pause, Qiqi said, "I also have some work to ask you about. See you in a bit."

Sitting in Gao Jinze's black Porsche 911 Turbo sports car, Qiqi's mood calmed down instantly.

Now, she hardly even bothers to glance at Gao Jinze on her left anymore.

Gao Jinze took her to Room A on the eighth floor of Building C in Tianyuan Apartment.

He opened the security door, revealing a large living room of nearly forty square meters.

At first glance, Qiqi knew that this was a north-south facing house with four bedrooms and two living rooms, covering more than 200 square meters.

Moreover, it's an ultra-luxurious, fully furnished and equipped home.

Gao Jinze remained silent and led her around each room.

Finally, I led her to sit on the sofa, took two cans of Sprite from the Haier three-door refrigerator, and placed them on the rosewood coffee table.

The two men, drinking Sprite, glanced at each other and smiled.

“That day was a complete misunderstanding… I’m not good at explaining myself. Isn’t it said that ‘explaining is just covering up’? I prefer to let my actions speak for themselves. What do you think of this apartment?”

Qiqi nodded: "The apartment layout is good, and the decoration is of high quality and impeccable."

Gao Jinze smiled with satisfaction.

He asked, "Do you think Tianyuan Apartment will collapse on August 12th?"

Qi Qi closed her eyes and said, "I don't know either. I only know that that day was the Wu Ji year and Wu Ji day, when the earth element was extremely strong. Tianyuan Apartment Building C belongs to the wood element, and wood overcomes earth. This is considered an offense against the superior, which is considered bad luck. The day of misfortune was very likely the Wu Ji day of the eighth month..."

Gao Jinze seemed to understand but didn't quite, yet he nodded and said, "I probably wasn't even in Shanghai that day."

Qi Qi said, "You should have moved out a long time ago. I admire your courage, but life shouldn't be gambled with."

"I sold Tianyuan Apartment."

Gao Jinze lowered his head and said.

Qiqi was momentarily stunned.

Gao Jinze added, "It's really sold. It's been sold to Shanghai Wanjia. The contract was drafted on Monday night, and the asset appraisal and handover have been done in the last few days."

Qi Qi looked at Gao Jinze with a puzzled expression.

Gao Jinze slowly raised his head.

His face showed a sense of relaxation and satisfaction after exhaustion.

"Qiqi, thank you so much this time. With your guidance, the negotiations went exceptionally smoothly. This is the best deal I've ever closed since I entered the industry! I've become a household name in the entire Chinese real estate industry!"

Qiqi shook her head and asked, "Why did you give up? Why did you abandon the Tianyuan Apartments you designed? Did you just walk away and go back to Guangdong with the money?"

Gao Jinze opened his mouth, then stammered, "Qiqi, I—it's not that I don't want to face it, but do you know? For the past few days, I've been living in this big house, and I've been suffering from insomnia almost every night. I'm exhausted, both physically and mentally!"

Gao Jinze closed his eyes tightly and couldn't continue speaking.

Qi Qi reached out her right hand, hesitated for a moment, and gently patted Gao Jinze's cold hand, which was resting on the rosewood coffee table. Gao Jinze turned his hand around and held Qi Qi's right hand. Qi Qi was startled and instinctively pulled back, but Gao Jinze's hand had already grasped her right hand completely... The two hands hung there on the coffee table.

In the end, Gao Jinze let go.

"Let me first explain why I'm selling Tianyuan Apartments. First, Shanghai Wanjia's move this time has powerful backing, and I dare not go against it. Second, Shanghai Wanjia's offer is very reasonable—not only reasonable, but also two thousand more per square meter than I expected. Do you know what two thousand means? Third, Shanghai Wanjia's capabilities have always surpassed Qianqiu Real Estate, and it's China's number one real estate brand. If they take over Tianyuan Apartments, they will definitely be able to handle this dilapidated building in Block C better than Qianqiu, at least in terms of resettlement and compensation for the owners, they have more funds than Qianqiu!"

Qiqi listened and thought.

Seeing that Gao Jinze was silent, Qi Qi sighed and said, "I shouldn't blame you, and I have no right to blame you. What you did was perfectly reasonable. Have the other residents in the building agreed to move out?"

"Wanjia has agreed to vacate some units in its high-quality Xinzhuang No. 7 Apartment project for homeowners to exchange for the difference in price. Wanjia and the homeowners of Tianyuan Apartment are still in talks and negotiations, but there shouldn't be any major problems."

Qi Qi breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's good. I also trust the Wan family's reputation."

"Wanjia is indeed a big player. You know, Wanjia took over the compensation and reconstruction work for all the completed and under-construction buildings in Fenghe Shuiyuan, as well as the collapsed building. In fact, it is precisely because of this incident that I did not mind selling the entire Tianyuan Apartment to Wanjia. Such a company has guts!"

"So—when are you going back to Guangdong?"

Qiqi asked timidly.

"By tomorrow morning, the handover of Tianyuan Apartments will be largely complete. I will return to the Guangzhou headquarters to report on my work and request an extraordinary board meeting to vote on the sale of Tianyuan Apartments—it's really just a formality, and then the sale contract will take effect immediately."

Qiqi said "Oh" and lowered her head.

"By the way, here are the keys and the transfer documents. Lin will send someone to come and handle it for you later. He's been incredibly busy these past few days."

As he spoke, Gao Jinze took the security door key out of his jeans pocket, held Qiqi's right hand with his left hand, and placed the key in her palm with his right hand.

Qiqi saw the keys, looked up blankly, and asked, "Whose keys are these? What kind of transfer are we doing?"

Gao Jinze smiled: "Here are your keys. I'll transfer the ownership to you. This is the 77 you deserve. You helped me a lot in this negotiation. If this apartment doesn't collapse, you can live in it. If you're worried about the danger, you can sell it or exchange it for Wanjia's Apartment No. 7. Anyway—it's yours, it's up to you."

Qiqi was completely dumbfounded!

A 200-square-meter apartment costs at least 13,000 yuan per square meter, making it worth over 2.6 million yuan!

Qiqi suddenly pulled her hand back.

It was as if her hand had been burned by the key.

The key clattered crisply against the rosewood coffee table, then fell silently onto the carpet.

Qi Qi suddenly stood up and looked directly at Gao Jinze: "Mr. Gao, what do you mean by this?"

Gao Jinze sat there and said, "You deserve it. Your commission is actually much more than just this one house. In addition, I am now formally inviting you to be the Feng Shui chief consultant for Qianqiu Real Estate. I have already prepared the letter of appointment. Your annual salary is tentatively set at one million, with separate calculations for individual projects. How about it?"

Qi Qi stared blankly at Gao Jinze, her face flushed, and took one step, then another, back away.

Then, she suddenly turned around, opened the door, and rushed out.

Chapter Seventeen: Rebate All day Saturday, Youyou stayed with Qiqi in her home, sitting quietly.

Qiqi stared blankly for a long time before blurting out, "Youyou, I'm sorry. I should have arranged for you to meet Gao Jinze on Monday. At that time, you would still have had the opportunity to buy a house in Tianyuan Apartment. You could have made at least two thousand per square meter by reselling it."

Youyou patted her head and said, "Silly girl, you should have owned an apartment in Tianyuan Apartment, Building C, 8th Floor, Unit A, worth two or three million. What you have in your hands is what you truly own. The reason you didn't meet Gao Jinze is because I've had a bad year. Didn't you say that this year isn't a good year for investing and making money? Well, it's come true again. If I had met Gao Jinze and bought the apartment in Tianyuan Apartment, wouldn't I have made money?"

Qiqi pouted and said, "I'd rather my prediction be wrong than let you not make money."

She laughed heartily and pulled Qiqi into her arms: "Silly little sister, we're sisters, what's money to us? I really don't need a hundred or two hundred thousand. You can calculate my luck for next year."

Qiqi nodded and said, "Then I'll go back to the apartment you're currently living in and have it checked, maybe next week."

Youyou said, "No need to rush, it's still a long way from 2010. But have you thought it through? You're fine with not wanting the three million house, but it would be a bit of a shame not to become the one million consultant, right?"

Qi Qi said wistfully, "It's all the same... Why is it that men think they can use money to win over women, instead of waiting for women to willingly fall into their arms..."

Youyou shook her head and said, "So many women, they put in all their effort, gamble their whole lives, just waiting for a man to throw money at them. And you, you got swept away! I really don't understand you..."

Qi Qi smiled calmly: "Everyone has their own ambitions. That's not the way I like it. I have a skill that's enough to support myself and I don't need to rely on a man to live. I just didn't expect Gao Jinze to use such a vulgar method, which disappoints me greatly!"

Youyou stretched out her hands and brushed Qiqi's hair aside, revealing her smooth and radiant forehead. She said, "I used to—a long time ago, I think—had vaguely thought the same thing as you... But I admire you for still thinking this way now, and I like you for it!"

From Friday night to Monday, Gao Jinze kept calling, but Qiqi didn't answer any of the calls.

Qiqi didn't read any of the text messages he sent and deleted them directly.

Qiqi guessed that he should have returned to Guangzhou early Saturday morning.

The properties of Tianyuan Apartment are nominally now owned by Shanghai Wanjia.

In theory, if Qianqiu Real Estate pays Shanghai Xianzhi Company to survey the feng shui of Tianyuan Apartment, the project can be considered off.

Zhou Haisheng called Qiqi over and asked her to write a summary report on the feng shui project of Tianyuan Apartment. He was also very relieved that he didn't have to solve the problem of "Great Emptiness".

"As for whether or when Tianyuan Apartment Building C will collapse, that's completely irrelevant to us! If Shanghai Wanjia wants us to continue handling that dilapidated Tianyuan Apartment building, I won't even consider it for less than five million."

Zhou Haisheng said this.

His "Fangxing Technology" stock finally surged, so he's been in a pretty good mood these past few days.

Moreover, the apartment he bought in Tianyuan Apartment is about to become an asset under Shanghai Wanjia.

Qi Qi racked her brains to write the summary report for Tianyuan Apartment. She hated this kind of bureaucratic writing. That's why she gave up her journalism major and didn't go into the newspaper and magazine industry.

She couldn't imagine what she would do if she had to sit at her desk every day writing those formatted, dry things.

However, even at Prophet Company, you still can't escape writing reports, and they have to be in both Chinese and English!

Her English is terrible, so she always asks Tien-Hsin to translate for her.

Fortunately, she discovered that Song Yu's English was quite good, and now Song Yu was being assigned to translate reports and other English documents. She also noticed that Song Yu had been quietly studying her previous feng shui cases.

Weiwei lives her life carefree and aimless. Qiqi has already given up on her and thinks she'll have a hard time passing her internship.

Staring at Word, Qiqi's mind went blank, and she only managed to type out a dozen or so words after a long time.

The internal phone rang, and Qiqi answered it.

"Qiqi, it's me, Yao Beibei."

Qi Qi's spirits were lifted.

"Beibei, have you come to Shanghai yet?"
