Chapter 245 - 162: The Sleepless Woman (2)

Chapter 245: Chapter 162: The Sleepless Woman (2)

The air was filled with a sense of freedom, and the oppressive atmosphere from before instantly dissipated.

The four of them walked into the office park. The first thing they saw were three standalone buildings, none of them very tall—only about six stories high.

But that wasn’t the main attraction. What truly captivated Gao Yuan and the others was the park’s environment. The vast expanses of green space were a welcome sight and immediately lifted their spirits.

A small river, a tributary of the Qiantang River, flowed right alongside the property, offering lovely scenery.

Based on the scenery alone, it was perfectly suited for a preconception wellness center.

Next, Yu Feifei began the tour, leading them into one of the renovated buildings.

The ceiling height on the first floor was excellent, and it opened directly onto a garden of over a thousand square meters—perfect for leisurely sunbathing or enjoying a drink.

They then toured the other floors. The spaces were large and logically laid out, but it was the huge top-floor office that particularly impressed Gao Yuan.

Furthermore, the rooftop had been converted into a massive garden. It not only insulated the top floor but also served as a private recreational space for the boss.

By the end of the tour, all three of them had grown quite fond of the place.

Gao Yuan even began to consider moving Yuanfang Company here as well. ’An office space like this would be a perfect fit for Yuanfang’s image,’ he thought.

’Yuanfang might only be a team of thirty-odd people now, but it’s bound to grow in the future!’

’Especially finance and legal. I place extreme importance on those two departments.’

’The finance department is small now, but as we develop, it will have to become a major division. It won’t just manage Yuanfang’s finances, but also oversee the books for my other ventures.’

’As for the legal department, that’s another top priority.’

Gao Yuan was confident he’d be needing it in the not-too-distant future.

’Take Penguin Group, for example. They have a legal team of over a thousand people. Their nickname, "Nanshan Pizza Hut," isn’t just a sign of local affection—it’s a testament to the company’s own efforts.’

’Maybe I can create my own "Xiaoshan Pizza Hut."’

’So, it would be great if Yuanfang had its own independent office building.’

’It would not only enhance the company’s image and team spirit, but it could also become a "check-in" spot for influencers to generate publicity.’

This idea had come to him after yesterday’s encounter with the reporters and online celebrities. He could totally pull a page from Pang Donglai’s playbook back home and turn the company headquarters into a viral landmark.

’It would be another publicity channel, more or less. But more importantly, it would provide a comfortable working environment for the employees.’

"Gao Yuan, there are three buildings here. It would be wonderful if your company could have its offices here, too."

Gao Yuan nodded.

’He had considered it,’ he thought, ’but for now, it was just an idea.’

’He had already spent the bit of money Yuanfang Company just took in.’

’Now there was only seventy or eighty million left in the company’s accounts.’

"That’s true."

Gao Yuan agreed with Lin Wanyu, then turned to Yu Feifei. "Of the three buildings here, which ones are for sale?"

’He needed to get the details first before he could even start thinking about the money.’

"They’re all for sale."

"However, you can’t buy them by the floor. They’re only being sold as whole buildings, and each one is priced at around 180 million."

Hearing Gao Yuan’s question, Yu Feifei’s reply was both enthusiastic and thorough.

’She knew Gao Yuan was a decisive man; if he liked something, he’d buy it without hesitation.’

"Which company owns this property?"

Gao Yuan asked casually.

’All three buildings here are for sale, and they are the only buildings in the entire park. If he really were to make a purchase, it would be tantamount to buying the whole park.’

’That was a deal far too big for a single agent like Yu Feifei to handle.’

"The Li Group."

The moment Yu Feifei answered, Gao Yuan, Lin Wanyu, and Li Mengqing all snapped their heads to stare at her.

Li Mengqing’s expression, in particular, changed in an instant.

She never imagined that a simple property viewing would lead them to a development by the Li Group.

"No wonder it hasn’t sold after all this time," Lin Wanyu muttered sarcastically.

’What a coincidence,’ Gao Yuan thought.

Just looking at a property and he runs into this situation. His mind instantly flashed to Li Yu and Shuya.

He and Shuya had been chatting on and off recently. In fact, when Shuya had her debut e-commerce livestream, not only did Gao Yuan show up, but Wang Sichao did as well.

They had both sent her virtual gifts worth tens of thousands, just to show their support.

"Let’s go."

None of the three had any desire to see more. They turned and walked straight out.

In the car on the way back, the three of them were very quiet. Yu Feifei had no idea what had just happened.

’She had a feeling that Gao Yuan and his friends knew the Li Group, and it seemed they weren’t on good terms.’

She sighed internally. ’This deal was probably dead in the water, and her goal of settling down in Hang City drifted further away.’

Back at the entrance to No.1 Courtyard, just as Yu Feifei was about to get out of the car, Gao Yuan spoke up. "Prepare a file with all the information on that office park for me."

"Yes, President Gao! I’ll get it ready immediately!"

Yu Feifei was instantly re-energized, as if she’d been given a shot of adrenaline. A broad smile spread across her face, and she even closed the car door more gently than usual.

Back at home, the three of them had just sat down. As Gao Yuan started to prepare tea, Lin Wanyu couldn’t help but ask, "Gao Yuan, are you really considering the office park we just saw?"

The moment she finished speaking, Li Mengqing also snapped her gaze to Gao Yuan.

"It’s a backup option. We still need to look at other places."

Gao Yuan glanced at the two of them and said with a smile.

He knew very well that neither Lin Wanyu nor Li Mengqing had any fondness for the Li Group. This was especially true for Li Mengqing; as a member of the Li Family herself, she was all too familiar with their inner workings.
