After rebirth, I only date bad girls

Chapter 233 Ebao's Big Spending

Sheng Shuyi wants to buy an office building for Liang Can!
Several of the floors.

Although it's only a few floors, it's still enough to leave people speechless.

Xu Zhengyao was stunned. He then looked out the window and put his hands in his pockets.

After a long while, my cousin sighed with emotion: "Shuyi, when I used to pick up girls, the most I would do was give them a handbag or a new phone, and my mom would already scold me for being wasteful."

After a pause, Xu Zhengyao turned to look at Sheng Shuyi and said quietly, "I never thought that the most wasteful person in our family would be you."

"To pick up a man, you'd give away an office building?!"

Sheng Shuyi put down the game controller again and asked, "Are those girls you dated able to start their own businesses and make millions in their freshman year of college?"

Xu Zhengyao paused for a moment, then shook his head.

They can't earn millions, but they have huge appetites, often swallowing hundreds of millions from Xu Zhengyao in one go.

For LV's sake, they ate with great relish.

Sheng Shuyi then asked, "Can those girls you date really have dozens of employees and an app with hundreds of thousands of daily active users at the age of 19?"

Xu Zhengyao shook his head again.

"Then what are you complaining about here, and you even dare to say I'm a spendthrift?" Sheng Shuyi frowned. "I call this an investment, you know? An investment in my future happiness. When Liang Can takes me to ring the bell at Nasdaq, don't come."

"What, are you a blockhead? Do we have to use you to ring the bell?"

"Heh, impotent rage." Sheng Shuyi complained, "And can you please stop trying to imitate Liang Can by putting your hands in your pockets? You can't even capture the essence of it, you just make a fool of yourself."

Xu Zhengyao has broken down completely.

Yao stumbled out of Sheng Shuyi's residence, wandered aimlessly for a while, and then inexplicably arrived at the gate of Hangzhou Dianzi University.

After a moment's consideration, Xu Zhengyao strolled into the campus and arrived at the Campus Diary Studio.

"Hey, what brings you here, Yao-ge?"

Just as Liang Can was about to leave, Peng Yong called him, saying: "Brother, why haven't you come to see your new office yet? I'm getting so anxious waiting for you."

Having witnessed Liang Can's prowess, Peng Yong indeed delivered on his promise, offering a 50% discount—a full 50% off.

Looking at the smug Liang Can, Xu Zhengyao smiled sadly: "It's nothing, I just wanted to see what this young talent like you usually does."

Liang Can thought for a moment and replied, "It's quite boring. It's nothing more than receiving amazement and admiration from all sides."

Yes, I am rich and handsome, but so what?

I gained wealth and status, but what I lost was ordinariness.

Xu Zhengyao: '.'

Xu Zhengyao was extremely envious of Liang Can. How could Liang Can be so good at showing off?

To show off, you first need to be a truly awesome person.

"Where are you going? Take me with you, let me see the world." Xu Zhengyao humbly made his request.

Liang Can casually replied, "Oh, an acquaintance of mine found me a new office space. I'm just about to go check it out. Are you going too?"

"Let's go and have a look."

Xu Zhengyao shrugged: "But you can just take a look when the time comes, just don't sign the contract."

"Why?" Liang Can started showing off again, speaking casually, "You know, with just a little effort, I helped that guy's commercial plaza increase foot traffic significantly, so he said he'd give me a 50% discount on the office space rent."

Half price! Did you hear that?!
"50% off?"

Xu Zhengyao smiled faintly: "Your attempt at showing off wasn't impressive enough; it didn't impress me at all."

Liang Can frowned: "Why? Give me a reason."

Xu Zhengyao replied, "Because my cousin is planning to give you several floors of office space."

Liang Can: “.”

Who is Xu Zhengyao's cousin again?

Sheng Shuyi, holy crap!

Liang Can was truly shocked this time.

Seeing Liang Can's blank expression and slightly open mouth, Xu Zhengyao was overjoyed.

Serves you right for showing off. Now you have an even bigger one!
"Hahaha, Liang Can, I never thought you'd have a day like this!" Xu Zhengyao was extremely excited, pointing at Liang Can and laughing uncontrollably. "All your painstaking efforts at showing off are no match for my cousin's simple action!"

At this moment, Zheng Ting, who was standing next to Liang Can, raised his different opinion.

"Brother Yao, I don't know why you're so happy. The boss's wife is giving the boss an office space. Doesn't this just make our CEO Liang even more awesome?"

In other words, why isn't anyone giving you an office building?

Xu Zhengyao was furious: "Who are you?"

Zheng Ting proudly raised his chin: "I am the office director of Campus Diary. My name is Zheng Ting."

Liang Can led Zheng Ting and Xu Zhengyao to Linhuan Commercial Plaza.

Today happens to be the weekend, and the square is very crowded. Because it is only a dozen kilometers away from the university town, there are many college students shopping here.

The air was filled with the clear voices and giggles of young girls, and the air itself seemed to carry a sweet fragrance.

Upon learning that Liang Can was coming, Peng Yong and his men waited outside early. As soon as they saw Liang Can get out of the car, they immediately went forward to greet him.

"Brother, brother, you've finally arrived!"

Peng Yong immediately gave Liang Can a big hug and then asked, "Is your niece still polite to you at school? If she doesn't respect you, I'll beat her up when I get home!"

Peng Chenxuan? Liang Can smiled knowingly: "Brother, don't worry. My niece is very respectful of her elders. We'll address each other as we are now. I'll call her teacher, and she'll call me Uncle Liang."

Peng Yong nodded repeatedly as he listened: "That's good. I was really worried that she wouldn't know how to be polite."

Xu Zhengyao followed behind Liang Can, completely confused, and asked Zheng Ting, "What niece?" Zheng Ting replied casually, "She's Peng Chenxuan, the deputy secretary of our college's Youth League Committee. Now, Teacher Peng is President Liang's god-niece."

What kind of messed-up relationships are these?

Xu Zhengyao glanced at Peng Yong and thought to himself, "Damn it, he'd even sell his own daughter for money?"
"Then why don't we just let Liang Can adopt a goddaughter? Isn't that closer than a niece?" Xu Zhengyao complained.

Peng Yong, who was walking ahead, heard this and turned around to give Xu Zhengyao an approving look, then looked at Liang Can with burning eyes.

Upon seeing this, Liang Can immediately said, "No, this is absolutely unacceptable!"

"Why not? I think it suits you perfectly!"

"Brother Peng, please do me a favor and just recognize my niece. It's really inappropriate to have a goddaughter."

The two began with one being extremely polite and the other trying hard to decline.

Liang Can was actually quite emotional. He had started from the margins and, along the way, had weathered storms with various health mentors to earn his first pot of gold.

But he is no longer the same person he used to be.

The campus diary app now displays slogans like "Cultivate a clean online environment and reject bad temptations."

But recently Liang Can has been strongly promoting several lingerie bloggers.

Can this be called astringent?

Do you know how important a good bra is to us girls?
You know nothing. You only focus on Yukiko Naoshiro, but you don't listen to the bloggers talking about the advantages of this underwear.

Sigh, that's how it is for all of us in the internet industry.

The predecessors, having eaten their fill, would smash the bowls and pots; if they discovered that similar competitors were trying to surpass them, they would simply report them.

Peng Yong first led the two around the square, which was now bustling with people, before getting to the main topic of the day.

Looking at office buildings.

This area was newly planned a few years ago. Peng Yong's office building is just one traffic light away from the commercial plaza, less than 200 meters away.

“Brother Liang, once your company moves here, it will be more convenient for your employees to have lunch after get off work. Look, the surrounding facilities are very complete, and a gym will be moving in soon.”

"I think your employees won't need to leave work at all. They can just treat the office as their home, and all their needs, like eating, drinking, and using the restroom, will be taken care of in one go!"

Liang Can thought to himself, "How can you guys be so heartless?"

They won't even let me go home.

Someone once commented online that Chinese business owners are still landlords at heart, treating their employees like slaves and unable to bear seeing them idle.

In reality, this is a necessary step in the primitive accumulation of capital. In the early stages of imperialist industrialization, workers were treated like animals. During the Industrial Revolution, the average lifespan of London workers was thirty years.

"Just get through this painful historical period," Liang Can thought to himself. "Luckily, I don't have to endure it."

The group walked to the office building, and Peng Yong pointed to the building in front of them and said, "Brother, this is it. It has thirty floors."

Liang Can looked up at the brand-new building and was quite satisfied with it.

“I’ve prepared three floors for you, namely the 20th, 21st and 22nd floors.” Peng Yong smiled and said, “I’ll also take care of the decoration, and I’ll only charge you the cost price. Consider it a welcome bonus from me.”

"You can earn whatever you want, that way my brother and I can stay together forever," Liang Can replied with a smile.

The group took the elevator upstairs. The place had already undergone some basic renovations, typical of domestic office spaces.

Liang Can was satisfied with this and said to Peng Yong, "Brother, you've gone to a lot of trouble. How about we just sign the contract directly?"

“Okay, I’ll have someone draft the contract right now, and we’ll sign it in my office.” Peng Yong readily agreed.

At this moment, Xu Zhengyao spoke up: "Wait a minute."

Seeing that everyone was looking over, Xu Zhengyao frowned and asked Liang Can, "Didn't I tell you, just take a look? My cousin will give you the office space. Why do you want to spend money to rent someone else's space?"

Peng Yong: "?"

Hey buddy, explain to me what you mean by "my cousin will give you office space"?

Peng Yong looked at Liang Can in surprise.

Liang Can chuckled and said to Peng Yong, "Brother, don't get me wrong. It's just one of my good high school classmates who insisted on giving me a few floors when he heard I was going to rent an office building."

"I think she was just joking, don't take it seriously."

Upon hearing this, Xu Zhengyao immediately retorted, "Don't take it seriously. Sheng Shuyi is even planning to sell her real estate to my mother to raise money to buy you an apartment!"

Peng Yong finally couldn't hold back any longer and asked Xu Zhengyao, "Brother, I have quite a few friends in the construction industry in Hangzhou. Your family is...?"

Xu Zhengyao raised an eyebrow: "My family is the major shareholder of Zhengfeng Construction."

Wow, Peng Yong has actually heard of this company before; it certainly has the capability.

Peng Yong immediately thought this wouldn't work. He was still waiting for Liang Can to move in, make a name for himself, and then raise the rent for his office building.

This lucky cat is so precious, we can't let anyone else take it away.

The popularity of Linhuan Square made Peng Yong even more convinced that Liang Can would definitely rise to prominence in the future. At this time, one must not care about petty gains.

"Brother, what's your idea?" Peng Yong cautiously probed.

Liang Can glanced at Peng Yong, looking troubled: "I'm not the kind of person who likes to take advantage of others, but then again, that high school classmate of mine has a deep bond with me; she's my beloved friend, my sister."

“I’m still your good older brother,” Peng Yong quickly said.

Liang Can sighed and said quietly, "That's why I'm really in a difficult position."

Peng Yong pulled Liang Can aside and whispered, "Brother, you're an extremely smart person, you must have figured it out. The reason I wanted you here is firstly to make friends with you, and secondly, your reputation will play a crucial role in building the office building's name."

Liang Can: "Really? I didn't think that much about it. I just wanted to be your neighbor."

"Does being neighbors cost money?" Peng Yong gritted his teeth. "I'll give you a free one, brother!"
