Chapter 574 - 305: The System is Screwing Me Over

It was no wonder Qi Sheng was surprised; the LED screens on the Twin Towers were massive.

Combined, they covered an area of about fifty to sixty thousand square meters.

Even if BOE offered them at cost, the price plus labor would still be over a hundred million.

With a single sentence, Xie Biwu had just saved Qi Sheng a small fortune.

"Haha, I’m glad you understand, Chairman Qi."

Seeing that Qi Sheng had accepted the favor, Xie Biwu couldn’t help but laugh heartily.

After the group photo, Xie Biwu tactfully took his leave with his secretary and entourage.

Qi Sheng, on the other hand, brought Lü Wei and the others to inspect the two 218-meter-tall office buildings with the construction company.

As these were landmark buildings, the construction company had been exceptionally diligent.

The ice-flower-patterned glass curtain wall of the facade was visually stunning.

Qi Sheng asked Lü Wei with a smile, "President Lü, are you satisfied with the Twin Towers?"

"Satisfied? I’m more than satisfied!"

Lü Wei was beaming, unable to close his mouth, and gave a thumbs-up.

This was an office building worth 4.5 billion!

Many publicly listed companies didn’t even have a market capitalization as high as the value of the Twin Towers.

"President Jian, Old Peng."

Qi Sheng looked at Jian Zhenzhe and instructed, "I’m leaving the renovation work to you. You give Old Peng your full support. Don’t worry about the cost; I’m giving you a budget of 300 million."

"Rest assured, we absolutely will not disappoint you!"

Jian Zhenzhe and Peng Qingsong exchanged a glance, unable to hide their joyful surprise.

’This is the benefit of latching onto the right patron!’

’And Qi Sheng’s thigh was absurdly thick.’

For a project of this caliber, even international architectural firms would be fighting over it.

Considering Shengxuan Decoration’s size, there was still a huge gap between them and those renowned international firms.

"Give the design for the North Tower to Old Peng, and the design for the South Tower to Liu Zheng."

Qi Sheng remembered his other key subordinate who had a weaker presence and decided to give Liu Zheng a chance.

"Understood. I’ll notify Director Liu."

Jian Zhenzhe was a bit surprised. He had thought Qi Sheng would give the design for both buildings to Peng Qingsong.

’But since the boss had made his decision, all he had to do was carry it out.’

Qi Sheng didn’t even have to dip into his personal slush fund.

Shengxuan Decoration’s funds were quite ample.

Having latched onto the thick thigh of Spicy King, the renovation orders from its nationwide chain of restaurants alone were enough to keep Shengxuan Decoration fat and happy.

After spending 75 million, Liu Zheng’s design skills instantly reached Master Level, putting him on par with Peng Qingsong.

With two Master Level designers on board,

Shengxuan Decoration’s capabilities rose to a whole new level.

Previously, at Shengxuan Decoration, only Peng Qingsong could really hold his own on major projects.

Now, with the addition of Liu Zheng, they could start making some big moves.

For example, why not let them handle the renovation design for the hotels being built by the Banyan Tree Group?

If they could land a major contract like that, it would be worth dozens of Spicy King store renovations.

After all, the investment for a single five-star hotel was at least several hundred million.

The same investment would be enough for Spicy King to open dozens of new locations.

As talents provided by the system, Liu Zheng and Peng Qingsong weren’t just skilled in interior design.

They were also highly proficient in overall architectural design.

They just hadn’t had the chance to show it before. But who could they thank for having such a good boss?

Qi Sheng called Chen Ye, explained the situation, and told them to contact each other directly to follow up.

Whether it worked out or not, he had at least played matchmaker.

...

Song Qingling Kindergarten.

A number of luxury cars were parked at the entrance, and the BMWs, Benzes, and Audis didn’t even dare to pull up close.

At a minimum, you needed a Porsche or a Maserati to dare to park any closer.

There were even a few Bentleys and Rolls-Royces.

This was the kind of prestige Chengdu’s number one kindergarten commanded!

But when a black Cullinan with the license plate "Chuan A-88888" appeared,

many of the parents waiting to pick up their children couldn’t help but gasp in amazement.

"Is that a Cullinan Black Badge?"

"Damn, that car must’ve cost over ten million, all in, right?"

"The base price is 7.8 million. Add in the options, purchase tax, and all that, and it’s definitely over ten million. And that’s not even counting the license plate."

"Is picking up kids this much of a competition now? I used to think my BMW 7 Series was pretty impressive, but my son actually made me park farther away, afraid the other kids would laugh at him."

"Sigh, what can you do? This is Song Qingling Kindergarten. Just the annual tuition and fees cost several hundred thousand."

...

The car came to a smooth stop. When Qi Sheng stepped out, even more of the mothers’ eyes lit up.

"Chairman Qi!"

Qi Sheng instinctively turned his head and saw a familiar face.

"Miss Ding?"

"We’re practically friends, after all. Calling me that is a bit too formal, don’t you think?"

Ding Wei gave Qi Sheng a reproachful glance, her tone carrying a hint of grievance.

"Haha, my mistake. Are you here to pick up your child too?"

Qi Sheng shook his head with a smile, his eyes appraising her attire.

Ding Wei was wearing a beige spaghetti-strap long dress.

She had a delicate, melon-seed-shaped face with a light touch of makeup.

The charming allure in the corners of her eyes revealed the seductive charm of a young married woman.

Around her long, fair, jade-like neck, she wore a heart-shaped Van Cleef & Arpels necklace, making her look elegant and luxurious.

Her full, proud bust was particularly eye-catching.

Her round, pert buttocks stretched the fabric of her dress taut.

’A perfect figure like that must be the result of regular workouts.’

Sheer, flesh-colored stockings clung tightly to her long legs.

Paired with white pointed-toe high heels, she was the kind of woman any man would want to throw over his shoulder.

"Do you have plans later?"

Ding Wei could feel Qi Sheng’s gaze sweeping over her from head to toe, making her feel inexplicably nervous.

"Maybe, maybe not," Qi Sheng said ambiguously.

’It all depended on what tricks Ding Wei had up her sleeve.’

"If you’re free, I’d like to treat you to a meal."

Initially, Ding Wei had planned to play hard to get with Qi Sheng.
