Chapter 1281 The Story of Rose

On May 1, 2001, Labor Day, the capital was packed with people, and tourists from all over the country flocked to visit.

However, on this day, an 88-story building located on the East Third Ring Road of Beijing has been acquired. After nearly half a year of renovation, it was officially opened on this day of national jubilation.

In an architectural design institute in a district of Beijing, Huang Zhenhua walked out of his office holding an invitation, because the director of the design institute asked him to attend the opening ceremony of a certain building.

A breathtakingly beautiful woman stopped Huang Zhenhua and asked, "Brother, where are you going?"

Huang Zhenhua then raised the invitation in his hand and explained to the pretty girl, "Our dean gave me an invitation to represent the design institute to attend the opening ceremony of the Su Building."

"Su's Building? Is it the building with a private collection museum on the first to third floors?" Sure enough, Huang Zhenhua's explanation made the beautiful girl open her eyes in surprise.

Huang Zhenhua also saw what the beautiful girl was thinking at this time, "Yes! Do you want to go? I can take you to see it."

"Of course I'm going! You know, I'm a top student at the Central Academy of Fine Arts, so naturally I want to appreciate the level of their collection."

"Okay! I can take you there, but you have to promise not to talk nonsense."

The pretty girl pouted angrily and complained, "Brother, am I the kind of person you say I am? You really look down on me."

"..." Huang Zhenhua shook his head with a helpless smile, and then left the design institute with his troublesome sister.

However, Huang Yimei is a highly-anticipated figure in the Architectural Design Institute, so her behavior naturally attracted the secret attention of her colleagues, the craziest of whom was that silly Zhou Shihui.

Zhou Shihui, who wasn't very smart, caught up with them. He looked at Huang Zhenhua and Huang Yimei and asked, "Zhenhua, Meigui, where are you going?"

Huang Zhenhua held up the invitation in his hand and explained to Zhou Shihui, "The dean asked me to attend the opening ceremony of the Su Building. I'm bringing Rose with me to see the world."

"Oh? Is that the Su Group with a mysterious background?"

"That's right! I won't tell you anymore. Rose and I are going to be late."

"Okay! Drive carefully on the road."

"Haha, Zhou Shihui, why are you being so fussy now?"

"Master, I'll leave first." Huang Yimei looked at Zhou Shihui with a smile on her face and said.

"Oh." Huang Yimei's sweet smile immediately turned Zhou Shihui into a stupid dog again. His brain could no longer function normally.

Huang Zhenhua then took his beautiful sister Huang Yimei to the Su Building. While driving, Huang Zhenhua casually asked his sister in the passenger seat, "Rose, you've been in our design institute for a few days now. How do you feel about your internship here?"

"It's great! Although I have never been involved in architectural design before, my colleagues in the design institute are very caring towards me, especially Teacher Zhou Shihui, who has helped me a lot." Huang Yimei explained casually at this time without any concern.

"Zhou Shihui is indeed a rare steady colleague in our design institute. That's why I've entrusted you to him. But you must stay away from those male colleagues. This isn't your Central Academy of Fine Arts. Sometimes their spit can drown you."

"Humph! It's not as exaggerated as you say. We are just normal colleagues. What you are worried about will not happen."

"Rose! This is your worst quality from childhood. You never pay attention to maintaining a safe distance from boys. That's why you have so many admirers."

However, Huang Yimei didn't want to discuss this with her brother Huang Zhenhua. Instead, she changed the subject and talked about the Su Group. "Let's not talk about my business anymore! Does our design institute have any cooperation with this Su Group? Why did we receive an invitation to their building opening ceremony?"

"I don't know the details! After all, the Su Group is very mysterious. They're mainly involved in real estate and high-tech industries, and of course the recently popular internet industry. Perhaps they're thinking about future cooperation. Anyway, this is the task the dean assigned to me today."

"Well, I don't think our design institute takes it very seriously, otherwise the director would definitely come forward in person."

"Haha, girl, why did you suddenly become so materialistic?"

"Humph! Brother, you're really saying harsh things. I'm not a philistine."

"Okay! Okay! Okay! You're not a philistine, I am. Okay?"

"Hmph! I'm ignoring you."

……

Soon Huang Zhenhua's car arrived at the Su Building on the East Third Ring Road. At this time, the 88-story building was reborn and had become a new landmark in the capital of China.

Huang Zhenhua first handed the invitation in his hand to the staff at the door, and then he and his sister Huang Yimei walked into the Su Building in front of them. The first thing they did was shocked by the dazzling collection of antiques in the lobby on the first floor.

Huang Yimei looked at the precious collections in front of him with disbelief, "Brother, am I dazzled? These collections are all authentic!"

"It's really incredible! It feels even more shocking than the Palace Museum. Even the National Palace Museum in Taipei can't compare to it." At this time, Huang Zhenhua was not much better than Huang Yimei. You know, the common people living under the imperial city are very familiar with antique collections.

However, Huang Yimei's attention was quickly drawn to the royal attire. "These appear to be dragon robes and crowns from past dynasties, as well as these exceptionally gorgeous phoenix crowns. Could these be genuine?"

"Huh? It looks like the real thing to me. It's incredible."

At this time, there were many people who were as shocked as the Huang brothers and sisters. The invited guests were all stunned. They were shocked by the collections in front of them and realized that this might be the most awesome private museum in the world.

At this moment, a very beautiful blonde woman walked onto the stage. She looked at the shocked guests and said loudly, "Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome Mr. Su Ning, CEO of our Su Group, to the stage to give a speech."

"Clap clap clap..."

Then Suning walked onto the podium amid the wholehearted applause of the crowd, and their wholehearted admiration was due to the strength demonstrated by the Su Group. You know, only absolute strength can bring more opportunities.

The beginning of the new century is undoubtedly the best era. Suning is fortunate to stand at the forefront of this trend again, and naturally it will create a groundbreaking career again.

Su Ning looked at the guests and made his first speech. "Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the opening ceremony of our Su Building. I am Su Ning, the chief CEO of Su Group."

"Clap clap clap..."

After the applause died down, Suning continued to introduce his Su Group. "Our Su Group is a genuine domestic private enterprise. Our registered place is not in those foreign metropolises, nor is it one of those so-called tax havens or offshore islands."

"..." Of course, many people present could not understand Suning's statement. After all, 100% of business operators are thinking about legally avoiding taxes.

"Our Su Group is involved in industries such as financial investment, foreign trade, shipping, real estate, the internet, high-tech product manufacturing, and automobile manufacturing. Our goal is to build our own high-tech, aircraft carrier-like, top-tier enterprise." "Pa Pa Pa..."

"In addition, our Su Group welcomes capable partners to discuss cooperation. Let us witness the beginning of this new era together."

"Clap clap clap..."

To be honest, Suning's speech was still very inspiring. Of course, no one would be foolish enough to question it. After all, the private museums on the first to third floors have proved a lot of things.

At this time, the top Chinese figures who were invited were all looking sideways, realizing that a new financial giant had entered the Chinese market, and it also allowed many business operators to see their own opportunities.

An elderly man in a Mao suit walked towards Su Ning with excitement on his face. "Hello, Mr. Su! I'm Wang Xu from the Palace Museum."

"Hello, President Wang! Nice to meet you." Su Ning naturally shook hands with the other party with a smile on his face.

"I'm deeply honored! I just wonder if I can ask Mr. Su a question?"

"President Wang, please speak."

"Where do the collections in your Su Group's private museum come from?"

"Of course, they were all collected from antique markets abroad. You have to know that there are so many treasures that were lost overseas during the century-long catastrophe. As long as you are willing to spend time and effort, you can still collect them."

Then, President Wang made a ridiculous request, "Mr. Su, from my observation, many of the collections in the Su Museum are national treasures. Mr. Su, your Su Group should take the initiative to donate them to the Palace Museum."

"Haha, Dean Wang, you're joking. These collections were collected by our Su Group at great expense. How could we just donate them to others so casually? Dean Wang, you really know how to joke."

"Huh? Our museum has a top-notch restoration team, and they will definitely provide the best possible protection for these collections. Isn't donating them for the sake of this treasure?"

"President Wang, there's a saying that goes, 'You can't take on a job without the right tools.' Since our Su Group is in the business of collecting collections, we naturally have the ability and confidence to protect these collections."

"This……"

At this moment, Su Ning suddenly continued to tease the other party's appetite as if in a mischievous way. Tearing the appetite was the greatest torture for people like Dean Wang. "Dean Wang, our Su Group's largest collection is not the ones on display today, but a complete set of copied versions of the Yongle Encyclopedia."

"What? The complete set of the Yongle Encyclopedia? Where is it now?" Sure enough, Dean Wang became excited with bloodshot eyes.

"Of course, they are still stored at the overseas headquarters. Whether they will be sent back to China depends on the situation."

"Mr. Su, the Yongle Encyclopedia is a cultural treasure of our China. Your Su Group should donate it for research and excavation!"

"President Wang, it's your constant talk about donations that has caused the Su Group so much worry and concern."

"I...Mr. Su, what does this mean?"

"Our Su Group is a genuine private enterprise. Our responsibility is to participate in China's economic development and pay taxes as usual, not to make donations and contributions as you, President Wang, often talk about."

"..."

After giving the other party a small lesson, Su Ning lost interest. "President Wang, please do as you please! I'll go and entertain the other guests."

"Mr. Su, please feel free to do as you please."

Then Su Ning no longer paid attention to Dean Wang, who was full of moral and righteous talk, but turned around to greet other guests. It was really because today's opening ceremony of the Su Building was too sensational.

Almost all the people invited today are bigwigs from all walks of life in Beijing. After a round of greetings, Suning was a little dazzled. Many powerful entrepreneurs were eager to rush to Su Group to seek cooperation. Of course, this was also the main purpose of Suning organizing this ceremony.

Huang Zhenhua came up with a smile on his face. "Mr. Su, congratulations! Your Su Group has become a huge hit."

"Excuse me, who are you?" However, Su Ning asked knowingly as he looked at Huang Zhenhua and Huang Yimei in front of him.

As expected, Huang Zhenhua formally introduced himself and his sister. "Mr. Su, I'm Huang Zhenhua from the Architectural Design Institute, and this is Huang Yimei, an intern at our design institute."

At this time, Su Ning first shook hands with Huang Zhenhua and his sister before explaining, "Hello! Our Su Group will be making a big push into the domestic real estate industry. There will definitely be many opportunities for cooperation between us."

"Mr. Su is right! I just don't know what direction your group will take?"

"Residential and commercial complexes! Furthermore, our Su Group's real estate company has already acquired a large amount of land reserves in cities like Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, and Shenzhen. We will be gradually launching our Su Group's construction projects."

"Oh? Mr. Su, it seems that your company is really generous."

“It’s just normal operation.”

At this moment, the stunning beauty Huang Yimei looked at Su Ning with a smile and asked, "Mr. Su, can I ask you a few questions about art?"

"Ms. Huang, you go ahead." Su Ning looked at Huang Yimei without comment and nodded.

"Mr. Su, I wonder if your museum exhibition is long-term or short-term?"

"Long-term! Our Su Museum will also be open to the public in the future."

"Great! That gives the Chinese people another place to visit."

"Miss Huang, are you interested in art?"

"To be honest, Mr. Su, I'm actually a student at the Central Academy of Fine Arts. I'm just interning at the Architectural Design Institute right now."

"I see! Then I wonder if you could leave me your contact information so we can discuss art issues in the future."

"Okay! My cell phone number is..."
