Chapter 399: Chapter 185: Huaihuai, do you really think I’m the most beautiful?_2

Leasing doesn’t grant property rights, but the lease contract itself can be used for loans or mortgages, and can even be invested into the Xingyu Guild.

However, no matter which way you look at it, Su Huai has never missed out on taking advantage.

The market value of Changqing’s three-story annexed building is roughly between 110 and 130 million. The good father-in-law really didn’t hold back on his support, truly lavish.

Yet, Gou Huai scrutinized the contract with extreme care, going over each clause word by word.

Surprisingly, there were no traps in the contract at all.

Strange, has Gu turned over a new leaf?!

While Su Huai was pondering this, Liu suddenly revealed the final secret "unintentionally".

"By the way, Mr. Su, these three floors are actually privately owned by Mr. Zuo. Mr. Gu provided a subsidy of 25 million, and the remaining gap was personally supported by Mr. Zuo for you."

Su Huai paused mid-action, suddenly looking up, "Did Mr. Gu have any instructions?"

"No," Liu shook her head, "Mr. Gu flew to the Magic Capital the afternoon before yesterday."

Well, no wonder he had no reaction. Was he truly tricking Zuo Zongcai into paying a significant amount?!

Su Huai couldn’t help but want to laugh.

In fact, outsiders have no idea that Zuo Zongcai managed to squeeze an additional 5 million from Gu Tongshu through persuasion and intimidation, which can be described as a substantial loss.

"Mr. Zuo is just too honorable."

Su Huai sincerely gave a thumbs up, freely letting the flattery flow.

"Could you help me check Mr. Zuo’s work schedule, Assistant Liu? I want to pick an auspicious day to properly show my gratitude to Mr. Zuo..."

"Mr. Su, Mr. Zuo has already instructed me in advance not to bother with such formalities. He simply believes in you," said Liu, holding back a chuckle.

Mr. Zuo, honorable?

You really have no idea how slippery he can be...

Liu’s curiosity about Su Huai had reached its peak long ago. He knew Mr. Zuo too well – a person who wouldn’t part easily with major benefits but never stopped giving small favors.

Small favors are used to facilitate work and save energy without the need to consider return on investment.

But major benefits aren’t to be given away rashly; a five-year payback period is considered a loss, with time being the greatest risk.

Liu himself highly agreed with Zuo Zongcai’s logic, which made him curious – what made this young man in front of him so favored?

Yet to Su Huai, it was no surprise. His exceptional confidence let him believe that investing in himself was only natural, and that Zuo Zongcai should have such vision and breadth.

But really, where did so many entitlements come from in the world?

It was simply a coincidence brought about by various factors.

After a brief contemplation, Su Huai chose option one.

He explained with a smile, "I originally thought it was Mr. Gu who was paying, which made taking the deal feel guilt-free and satisfying. But finding out that it is actually Mr. Zuo’s investment, I can’t justify taking what someone loves.

Let’s just go with renting!

If after five years I still haven’t earned my own headquarters, I’d be too ashamed to ask Mr. Zuo for a renewal."

Picking up the pen, he quickly signed his name, and immediately called Zuo Zongcai.

"Mr. Zuo, your gift is too generous; I’m truly unworthy of it, Su!"

Zuo Zongcai raised an eyebrow, thinking to himself: What’s this cunning little wolf playing at, waving the banner of a gentleman?

Unworthy?

He’s probably laughing even in his dreams!

Hehe, he certainly understands Gou Huai~~~

Of course, he was also fluent in feigned righteousness, "Su, I admire your ambition and ability, and I believe we will definitely have opportunities to cooperate in the future. So don’t feel burdened, go ahead and do what you need to do!"

"Of course, Mr. Zuo, just wait and see!"

After a lively conversation between the big fox and the little fox, Su Huai hung up the phone and sunk back into deep thought.

Mr. Zuo was too careful with his words; Su Huai still couldn’t get a specific reaction from Gu Tongshu.

So, he had to rely on conjecture.

For a ten-year lease, in theory, at least 80 million would be needed, and Su Huai has already received a significant advantage of 55 million.

Out of that, Gu Tongshu provided 25 million, and Zuo Zongcai contributed 30 million.

It seems that Mr. Zuo has paid more, but he will eventually be able to get it back from Gu Tongshu.

So, essentially, it was still Old Gu backing Su Huai.

Yet he didn’t say a word, offering no explanation, not even letting Zuo Zongcai send a message; what could that mean?

Su Huai understood it this way—You get what you want, and I’m curious to see what kind of spectacle you can create!

It’s a bit like watching the excitement from the sidelines—no tripping, no helping.

Like a high school teacher treating a poor student, as long as you don’t disrupt the class order, it’s up to you whether you want to study, I can’t be bothered with you.

However, Su Huai highly suspected that Gu Tongshu would definitely be observing him secretly.

So, is the next round about performance then?

Su Huai suddenly felt a strong interest and wanted to give Gu Tongshu a bit of a scare.

In this process, Zuo Zongcai was an "ally" worth fighting for.

What he could do was far more than casually giving away a building...

...

The next day, Su Huai found Cheese again.

"No need to look for a streaming base anymore, I’ve gotten us three floors, come take a look."

When Cheese arrived at Changqing Building, and saw that terrifyingly generous lease contract, his face was filled with awe.

"Assistant Su, this surprise is too much, the place is big and nice, and the efficiency is high, making me look so useless..."

Keep the flattery coming if you’re good at it.

Su Huai kept his face expressionless, but was actually putting on quite an act, "BOSS knew it was hard to find office space in the Imperial Capital, so he mentioned it to an old tycoon, and I didn’t expect them to send over the lease agreement so quickly."

"Dog Daddy is awesome!"

Cheese was so excited that he started spinning around, exclaiming that it was utterly unusable!

A single floor of 1,800 square meters, if just used for streaming rooms, could easily be divided into over 100 rooms.

Of course, it wouldn’t be such a waste in reality; dance streamers could have bigger rooms, whereas 8 square meters was enough for regular entertainment streamers.

"Half a floor to serve as headquarters, one floor for the streaming base, what about the remaining floor and a half?"

Su Huai let slip a bit of his ambition, "Leave it for the streaming platform."

Cheese grew even more excited, beginning to fantasize about a bright future.

It took him a while to realize he needed to crunch some numbers.

"Assistant Su, what about the rent?"

Zuo Zongcai’s gift to Su Huai didn’t mean Su Huai would hand it over to Xingyu for free.

He replied lightly, "A five-year contract valued at 40 million, contribute it as capital into Xingyu, after the conversion, go to a bank to get some credit, it’ll ease the cash flow when expanding the business."

Su Huai’s move wasn’t anything unusual; nowadays, cash investments were the rarity.

But Cheese didn’t want his shares to be diluted further, so he tentatively asked, "Assistant Su, can Yuyu and I...?"

"Sure, by proportion."

Su Huai wasn’t in a hurry to dilute Cheese’s shares; he knew that eventually Cheese wouldn’t be able to keep up with the rapid expansion.

Of course, this wasn’t about swindling anyone, but about a normal redistribution of shares.

Cheese himself was aware of this, so he was eager to preserve his current shares to withstand a few more rounds of funding.

Feeling reassured, he energetically went off to work.

Decoration, moving, it might not even be completed in two months.

However, the business registration change was quick; a week later, Xingyu’s valuation broke through the two hundred million mark, quite solid with hardly any fluff.

With rent and cash totaling over 80 million and more than 3,000 resident streamers bringing in a monthly revenue of 1.5 "minor goals", the debt ratio was zero—a quality so attractive that banks were calling Cheese daily.

Unfortunately, Su Huai no longer had the energy to pay attention to the company’s affairs as things got busy at the school.

The preliminary round of the campus singer contest had ended smoothly, and the autumn sports meet took place before the semi-finals, stirring up the entire campus.

On the 14th, Chen Nuanhan, who had sworn off dealing with Su Huai, ended up seeking him out after all.

Her opening remarks were exactly what Su Huai had predicted.

"Vice Secretary Su, who do you think would be the best guide for our department?"

"Definitely you!"

Gou Huai smirked a bit frivolously, his gaze fixed on her lips, "A mixed-race beauty with bright red lipstick and a stunning physique holding a sign for our department, you’d definitely overshadow the entire school, and you might even explode on the internet!"

Su Huai wasn’t exaggerating.

In his past life, Chen Nuanhan had already become an Internet sensation once, and when she later joined Douyin, she started off with quite a buzz.

Chen Nuanhan, unaware of the future, took Su Huai’s exaggeration as a deliberate attempt to flatter her, and couldn’t help but purse her lips in delight.

"Hmph! You know what’s good for you!"

Chen Nuanhan stood with her hands behind her back, twisting her upper body, clearly having got the answer she wanted, yet lingering around.

Gou Huai knew exactly what was going on, this girl was waiting for him to invite her out for a meal or a kiss.

But he wasn’t planning on indulging her.

Yearning for my beauty, be more proactive, what’s with the pulling?

Gou Dongxi’s face was the epitome of straight male naivety, "All set? Then I’m heading back, see you at the meeting!"

He waved casually and left nonchalantly.

Chen Nuanhan’s expression instantly went from sunny to overcast, and then, catching a glimpse of Gu Jiuyue coming down the hallway, it turned to stormy weather.

Perhaps it had been too long since she last got into a scrape, and she was itching for a confrontation. Without a second thought, she turned towards Su Huai with a sweet smile and a louder voice, "Huaihuai, do you really think I’m the prettiest girl in our department? You’re not lying to me?"

Suddenly, a cold and somewhat puzzled gaze fixed itself on Su Huai’s face...
