Chapter 203 Site Selection
In the next few days, Chen Che’s life became unexpectedly busy. He hardly went back to school for classes, and all the sign-ins were left to Zhu Xi and Qin Nan.

He was busy looking at office buildings and purchasing private equity licenses.

It’s just that the progress bar of the former didn’t advance much. Although I watched a lot, each set always had some problems more or less…

As for the transfer of the private equity license, there has been considerable progress in recent days, and we are currently in the process of negotiating with the seller.

As the difficulty of applying for a private equity license increases, the price of license transfer is also gradually rising…

The price offered by the seller was undoubtedly a bit high for Chen Che. Anyway, the site selection had not been decided yet and he had nothing else to do, so he might as well haggle with the seller.

The real challenge is choosing a location…

“Fortunately, I didn’t say anything final that day.” Chen Che lay on the bed, somewhat glad that he did not reject Su Zhiyu’s proposal that day.

“If there’s no good office building in her area, then she shouldn’t bother with private equity…”

As a lover of lying down, Chen Che already had the idea of ​​playing badly. As for the tasks given by the system…

Spend money to rent a shop, open a coffee shop casually, spend money to hire a few people, and just get the system rewards… If you can make money, stay there for a while longer, if you can’t, close the shop and just stop the loss in time.

……

The next morning.

“No, sister, I’m just going to meet someone. You’ve been making so much trouble so early in the morning. People who don’t know would think you were going to take wedding photos.”

Looking at Su Zhiyu who kept shuttling back and forth between the bathroom and the bedroom, Su Yu couldn’t help but complain, “You’re just wandering back and forth early in the morning.”

“Hmm?” Su Zhiyu raised her eyebrows slightly, ignored Su Yu’s complaints, turned sideways, and shouted, “Take a look at what I’m wearing.”

Su Yu looked over subconsciously, and then couldn’t help feeling envious.

Although the two have a certain blood relationship, Su Yu can be considered a beauty and has many suitors, but compared with her cousin, she is undoubtedly a dwarf compared to a giant, like a green leaf against a flower.

The slightly curly burgundy hair, bright features, and tall, well-proportioned figure made her look like a princess from a book.

Especially that face, no matter the face shape or facial features, there is no flaw to be found.

She has willow-shaped eyebrows, almond-shaped eyes, a delicate nose and cherry lips, and her facial lines are smooth and flowing.

Because of her excellent genes, good work and rest schedule and careful care, Su Zhiyu’s skin is also excellent, fair and delicate, and the words “fragile as a baby’s” will not make people feel the slightest bit out of place when used to describe her.

She was wearing a white A-line skirt today, which reduced her sharp temperament a lot, and replaced it with a feeling of first love with a hint of coolness.

“It looks great. I don’t have to change my clothes anymore, and I don’t have to put on makeup anymore.” Su Yu patted both sides of her cheeks, her heart full of envy.

Because of their blood relationship, the two look similar in some ways…

It’s just that one is the regular version and the other is the top version…

“That’s good.” Su Zhiyu stood in front of the mirror, looking at her outfit with satisfaction, and continued, “By the way, I won’t be back today, so you don’t have to wait for me for dinner.”

“I understand. Let’s go.” Su Yu waved her hand and said unhappily.

……

When Chen Che drove to the agreed place, Su Zhiyu was already waiting there.

Against the backdrop of her long burgundy hair, her face seemed to look even whiter.

Unlike her usual fierce aura, she wore a white long dress today, looking cool and elegant.

“Here.” Chen Che stuck his head out of the window and waved at Su Zhiyu.

After hearing the shout, she looked up, quickly determined the source of the sound, a smile appeared on her face, then she waved and walked over quickly.

……

“Have you been waiting for a long time?” Chen Che asked casually.

“No, I just came out too.” Su Zhiyu fastened her seat belt and continued, “Let’s go… and take a look. I think that one is the best.”

“Okay.” Chen Che nodded, then turned around and drove towards the place designated by Su Zhiyu.

Accompanied by the soothing music in the car, Su Zhiyu smoothed the red hair that fell beside her ears and asked, “You rent an office building. Are you planning to start a business or do you have any other ideas?”

“I want to start a private equity fund.” Chen Che answered concisely.

“Private equity?” Su Zhiyu was stunned for a moment. She didn’t expect this would be the answer, but she didn’t say anything else. She just pursed her lips and then turned on her mobile phone, as if she was looking for some news.

……

Chen Che knew that Su Zhiyu came from a wealthy family, so the things she recommended were generally not bad.

But this “not too bad” still far exceeded his expectations.

Just this first office building made him more satisfied than the one he had found a few days ago.

The office building has a total of 19 floors, each floor is about 500 square meters, and only floors 7 to 12 have not yet been rented out.

The location, indoor lighting and other conditions are all quite good. Among the six floors that have not yet been rented out, the ninth floor is the one that makes Chen Che most satisfied.

During this time, apart from a brief introduction, Su Zhiyu didn’t say anything else. She just followed Chen Che silently to finish reading the remaining six floors.

……

“How is the rent calculated?”

After looking through it carefully, Chen Che didn’t find any major flaws. He had the idea of ​​renting the place, so he turned his head to look at Su Zhiyu and asked about the rent.

“Two yuan per square meter, thirty thousand yuan a month.” Su Zhiyu reported a number and asked, “Are you planning to rent this place?”

She had not originally intended to charge the rent. The rent of an office building was nothing to her. However, because of her understanding of Chen Che, she knew that once she said the word “no money”, it would not only fail to bring them closer, but would most likely backfire.

It would be better to report a number, and then we can…

Two yuan per square meter… Chen Che was familiar with the prices of office buildings nearby, and he knew that Su Zhiyu had definitely lowered the price.

Not to mention anything else, the office buildings he went to see a few days ago were obviously much worse than this, but the bosses dared to quote a price of more than $2.50.

Plus a 500-square-meter floor, which just meets the system’s requirements…

These days, Chen Che, who loves lying flat, has been feeling depressed after visiting office buildings everywhere. Since the conditions here have perfectly met his needs…

“Let’s just rent this.” Chen Che nodded and continued, “Let’s rent the ninth floor… Thank you.”

“What’s there to thank me for?” Su Zhiyu rolled up her hair with her hands and said, “Since you just happen to want to rent an office building, I happen to have one, so I’ll just rent it to you.”

As she spoke, Su Zhiyu glanced at the watch on her wrist… It was just past half past nine, not even ten o’clock yet…

“Well, why don’t you go and have a look at the others? Maybe they’ll be more suitable than this one.” Su Zhiyu couldn’t help but say, “You probably don’t plan to go to class today, so why not take a look at a few more?”

Chen Che felt that there was no need to go through so much trouble. He was already quite satisfied with the place. However, after seeing Su Zhiyu’s look, he decided to check out a few other places.

……

In one morning, Chen Che visited four office buildings. Although the other ones were also quite good, the first one satisfied Chen Che the most.

So after a morning of field research, Chen Che finally decided to rent the ninth floor of the first office building…

After signing the contract, it was almost twelve o’clock, just in time for lunch.

At Su Zhiyu’s invitation, the two of them had lunch at a nearby private restaurant…

This private restaurant is quite famous. Chen Che had seen its name on the Internet and had wanted to try the food here before. However, he had to make a reservation at least three days in advance. When the flow of people was large, he might have to make a reservation a week in advance. In the end, he gave up this plan.

The two of them didn’t make a reservation today either, but Su Zhiyu told them that the owner of this private restaurant had a good relationship with her father, so they added an extra table for lunch today.

During the meal, Chen Che carefully tasted the flavors of the dishes… It can only be said that the reputation of this private restaurant is indeed not exaggerated. Basically, every dish has the level of master-level cooking skills, and several signature dishes have even reached a level above master.

After finishing the meal, Chen Che originally wanted to send Su Zhiyu back directly, but…

……

“Let’s go to this handmade pottery shop later. I’ve always wanted to go there, but I never had the chance. Today happens to be free.”

As soon as she finished lunch, Su Zhiyu looked at Chen Che eagerly and said pleadingly, “The contract has been signed anyway, so you should be free this afternoon.”

A beautiful girl with a domineering appearance, showing this kind of look, speaking in this kind of tone… the strong contrast brings huge destructive power.

Since he owed someone a favor, it was really hard for Chen Che to think of refusing such an insignificant matter.

“Just consider it as returning a favor. I don’t have anything to do this afternoon anyway…”

“Okay.” Chen Che nodded. “I’ll search the navigation for that pottery shop.”

Seeing that Chen Che did not object, Su Zhiyu’s eyes lit up instantly, and she handed the phone to Chen Che with a hint of embarrassment in her voice.

“This one…”

……

After dinner, Chen Che drove towards the pottery shop.

Su Zhiyu was sitting in the passenger seat, and as if she had suddenly thought of something, she asked, “If you plan to do private placement, do you need to raise funds next?”

Uh……

According to common sense, raising funds is indeed very important, but Chen Che had no such plan at all.

With no connections and no historical achievements, which investor would dare to give him money?

From the beginning, Chen Che’s plan was to launch a product, buy it in full, and then attract customers and cultivate connections after achieving success…

No matter what, just get the system reward first.

“Let’s first settle the transfer of the private equity license, and then consider fundraising.”

“Okay.” Su Zhiyu nodded, and then added: “Then when you plan to raise funds, remember to tell me.”

“You need to invest.”

“Well, I’ve saved up a lot of money, and I can’t spend it all anyway, so why not let you do it?”

Chen Che: ___*(￣皿￣)/#____
……

Chen Che has always known that Su Zhiyu has a hobby of pottery.

After all, during the high school holidays, Su Zhiyu would take him to places like pottery shops from time to time, although the finished products they made in the end were somewhat horrible.

However, the two of them have a good understanding of the pottery production process.

After entering the pottery studio, the two did not ask the teacher to teach them. They just held a piece of clay and started to work.

This time, the two of them made ceramic cups.

Making a ceramic cup is not that difficult. Once you know the steps, you can basically make it, but there is no guarantee whether it will look good or not.

Chen Che did not acquire the skill of [Pottery Making], and he had not touched this kind of thing for a long time, so his movements were a little unfamiliar.

However, the “old master” next to her has come into contact with this kind of thing a lot in the past two years.

At first, she just reminded Chen Che what to do, but as she taught him, he started to get the hang of it…

“Use the thenar and hypothenar lines to find the center. Press down with the thenar to feel the balance point of the clay spinning. Hold up with the hypothenar to expel excess air.”

Su Zhiyu was talking on the side and found that Chen Che’s movements were not very standard. After thinking for a moment, she pretended to stand up and walked behind Chen Che, putting her hands on Chen Che’s left and right hands respectively to help him adjust his position.

But as soon as they came into contact, Su Zhiyu noticed something was wrong…

A special feeling flowed through her palm into her whole body, like a subtle electric current, constantly stimulating every inch of her skin.

This feeling was very strange. Although it was not strong, it brought an inexplicable sense of pleasure. Su Zhiyu even felt that every cell in her body was cheering…

They had clearly held hands before when they were in love… Not to mention holding hands, they had even kissed and hugged and everything else, but they had never had this feeling at that time.

“Is it because I haven’t been in a relationship for a long time and I miss men?” Su Zhiyu suddenly had a somewhat absurd idea in her mind, but she immediately felt that this idea was too absurd, pursed her lips, and forced herself not to think too much.

Originally, she just wanted to create some ambiguous atmosphere between the two of them through physical contact… After all, the warming of the relationship between a man and a woman requires ambiguity.

but now……

It was so hard to have physical contact, and Su Zhiyu absolutely could not give up at this time. So she endured this strange feeling of comfort and helped Chen Che adjust his hand position little by little.

During this period, she had been carefully observing Chen Che’s expression, and once he showed any displeasure, she would immediately stop.

What made Su Zhiyu feel fortunate was that except for the fact that Chen Che seemed stunned for a moment when the two of them first came into contact, there was no major reaction afterwards.

Soon, the originally sticky mud gradually took the shape of a cup under the operation of the two people.

And as time goes by, the shape of the cup becomes clearer and clearer.
