Face-Slapping the reborn CEO (8.1)
Editor: ghost
Looking at Nie Yuantong as if he was a mental inpatient, Zhou Xu said, “Then let’s take it as a gift for the owner.”
With no choice, Nie Yuantong could only shut up.
Zhou Xu’s great success brought this small villa area into the eye of the public again. In the end, the villas Zhou Xueli was responsible for were also renovated and redesigned. They were quickly sold out and almost all of them doubled in price.
In this silent battle, Zhou Xu won beautifully. At the same time that Zhou Xueli had been hit, Zhou Qiang also noticed Zhou Xu’s talents.
However, Zhou Qiang still did not plan to let Zhou Xu enter the head company so soon. He decided to train Zhou Xu again. This was why after a few months, Zhou Xu and Zhou Xueli were transferred to the publicity department of one of the subsidiary companies.
A few months later, Zhou Qiang almost never looked at Zhou Xueli. There were two reasons: the first was because Zhou Xu’s performance was just too good; and the second, was because Zhou Qiang’s two lovers successively gave him two more sons.
Both Zhou Xu and the reborn Zhou Xueli knew about their two new younger brothers. It was the reason why Zhou Xueli had started thinking about how to stop the alliance between the two lovers while Zhou Xu thought about how to use their existence to ruin this home.
Zhou Xu did not have any feelings for Zhou Qiang. He knew that if he did not have a good performance, Zhou Qiang would also not have any feelings for him, as he was towards Zhou Xueli. He actually did not look at Zhou Xueli even once during the past few months.
The so-called father, Zhou Qiang, really did the unthinkable.
When Zhou Xu and Zhou Xueli chose their major for their sophomore year, they originally chose the same. However, in the end, Zhou Xueli changed his choice because he found that whether it was the former life or after his rebirth, he could not win against Zhou Xu. Since this was the case, he wished that he could at least stay a little further away from Zhou Xu. Maybe this way he could live because he would die otherwise.
After their sophomore year, their classes began to be more relaxed. There was also no fixed classroom anymore. As long as one attended classes in time and did their homework, the teachers would mostly not make things difficult for them.
It was because of that, that Zhou Xu and Zhou Xueli had time to go to Zhou’s companies to do their internship.
The internship company was still the original construction company, but this time, they went to the publicity department.
Coincidentally the company had a new project that would soon hit the market. Construction had already begun and would be finished in six months.
Unlike the previous villas, the project this time was a commercial office building with an underground parking lot. The first floor was very large, ready to be used for a large mall while the second to the tenth floors were also not small. It was projected to be used for a restaurant or a game room, a fitness room, etc. The higher floors would be the usual business offices.
The whole building had 30 storeys. Actually, Zhou Xu and Zhou Xueli were not selling them out, but they were making the initial planning for the building so that it could sell as early as possible. After all, this kind of construction was sold as it was built, otherwise the money chain might be problematic.
In fact, in the final analysis, it was still the matter of “selling”. No matter which department it was, all were meant to sell buildings. Zhou Xu understood that, so he decided not to focus on the planning, but to look directly at the sales.
The publicity department handed the architectural drawings to Zhou Xu and Zhou Xueli. Zhou Xueli could not understand anything, but Zhou Xu was different. He could not only understand it, but also knew how to make better use of the space based on the present situation.
While Zhou Xueli found an interior designer to help, Zhou Xu intended to do the roadmap himself.
The focus of the two were not the same. Zhou Xueli mainly focused on the office space upstairs, while Zhou Xu was focused on the first ten floors. Besides, after looking at the blueprints, Zhou Xu felt that it was actually possible to make this entire building the landmark building of this area.
It had already been three days since Nie Yuantong had last seen Zhou Xu. During this time, he really did revise the school rules. Although it was difficult to pass, the result was that dating was no longer considered a violation.
Nie Yuantong made a phone call to Zhou Xu. After Zhou Xu picked up, there was a pause before he said, “Hello”. As soon as Nie Yuantong heard Zhou Xu, he knew that Zhou Xu was thinking about something, so he asked, “What are you thinking about?”
Zhou Xu was taken aback, but he then laughed and said, “I probably need your help.”
“At your service.”
After work, Nie Yuantong went to Zhou Xu. He looked at the blueprints and design plans of the land, and asked, “What do you want to design this time?”
“It’s all kinds of construction drawings and plans.”
“Why are there so many of them?”
Zhou Xu looked up from numerous design plans and replied: “A dozen blueprints, adding on a dozen design plans, then in addition, there is the feasibility report, the return estimates, etc. That’s why it looks like there’s a lot of them. Come, help me look at this.”
Nie Yuantong also sat on the floor where the plans were all spread out.
Quickly kissing Zhou Xu, Nie Yuantong said, “The reward for my help.”
Zhou Xu who originally only had design plans in his head, turned his head to Nie Yuantong, and taking advantage of the moment Nie Yuantong did not pay attention, Zhou Xu quickly returned the kiss to him and said, “Double reward.”
Nie Yuantong wanted to pounce on Zhou Xu. As a result, Zhou Xu planted his forefinger on Nie Yuantong’s forehead and pushed him back, “Do the proper thing first, let’s talk again after we finish this wave.”
“When we’re done, you need to give me some benefits, otherwise, no need to talk about it.”
“Ok.”
As soon as Nie Yuantong heard Zhou Xu’s promise, he pushed up his sleeves and went to work.
Design was a very precise and time consuming work, but thankfully, they did not need to produce a real design plan. They had to more or less produce a sketch. After all, the whole building had not been built yet. Furthermore, the real plan could only happen after taking the in-situ measurements. Besides, during the construction process, there might be many problems or modifications; that was why their designs were relatively simple.
Because Zhou Xu’s aim was to seek investment, if there was a high business occupancy rate and the brand was good, then maybe it would be better to keep the building and only do some rentals. In fact, the most important point was still the issue of earning yields.
Zhou Xu made a brief statement of the situation and explained his own thoughts while Nie Yuantong listened carefully. Nie Yuantong gave advice on how to sell better, and then pointed out several things that Zhou Xu did not notice. After what, the two began the process of making the plan.
After the last villa incident, Zhou Xu was already well aware of Nie Yuantong’s strength, so he trusted Nie Yuantong a lot.
After three hours, Nie Yuantong completed the design plan for the first floor mall, but it was only a draft. If one really wanted to finish, one couldn’t finish before a full two days’ time.
Looking at the design plan Nie Yuantong made, Zhou Xu was very satisfied. The key point was that Nie Yuantong also made a general appearance for the vendors around the mall on the design. Although it was hazy, it was still completely possible to see their style.
Nie Yuantong saw Zhou Xu’s satisfied look and smiled, saying, “Your husband is very awesome, isn’t he?”
Looking up, Zhou Xu replied: “Very awesome, I love you even more.”
Nie Yuantong instantly felt a certain part of himself wanted to raise because Zhou Xu’s appearance with his curved eyebrows looked way too good, very clean, but it was also unusually sexy.
“Cough cough…”
“You’re hard again?”
“… Zhou Xu, can you have a little more tact?”
“Has that certain place of yours that can’t be spoken openly about gotten stronger? This way? Would it make you more comfortable?”
Nie Yuantong: “…”
Standing up, Zhou Xu stretched lazily, causing his thin waist line to be revealed. The belt fell loosely and hung on his hips. Just enough for Nie Yuantong to see Zhou Xu’s beautiful mermaid line.
This time, that certain place of Nie Yuantong was really hard. He could only turn his head away and look elsewhere. As soon as he turned his head away, he heard Zhou Xu say, “Didn’t you want benefits? Am I not letting you look at my body?”
Nie Yuantong: “…”
Turning back his head, Nie Yuantong was going to have a nosebleed because Zhou Xu had pulled his already loose belt a little lower. Apparently if it was pulled even a little further down, some part would be exposed.
“Is it good looking?” Zhou Xu put down his clothes.
“It is, I want to touch.”
“Won’t give. Let’s eat something first, I’m about to starve.”
Nie Yuantong looked earnestly at Zhou Xu and replied, one word at a time, “I will also soon die from hunger!”
“Endure.”
“If I can’t endure and directly attack, what will you do to me?”
“Cut your thing below.”
Nie Yuantong directly felt his thing below cool down and said, “Then we should fill your stomach first after all.”
Looking at Nie Yuantong’s defeated appearance, Zhou Xu reached out his hand to knock Nie Yuantong’s head. He said in passing, “Your brain is full of sperm.”
The two then went to dinner.
In fact, if it was not for wanting to enter Zhou Qiang’s headquarters, Zhou Xu would not waste this much energy because he found that the protagonists of this world were so weak that they seemed to not exist. It was no wonder that in the first world just some silkpants lackeys could kill Zhou Xueli. This time, even though Zhou Xueli was reborn, he did not improve at all. For Zhou Xu, this was not even considered a challenge.
Therefore, Zhou Xu’s goal was to completely crush Zhou Qiang. For no other reason than because Zhou Qiang was a father that was not worthy of his title as “father”.
Zhou Xueli had no confidence anymore. He did not put any effort in his job because he didn’t think that there was any hope left.
Another three months passed. Zhou Xu’s creative design was adopted, and later at the China Chamber of Commerce, the investors were very satisfied. They basically made the decision to invest immediately.
Eventually, before the building was even constructed, the company had already sold the whole building. Even the offices upstairs were sold out.
They wanted to develop this building into a landmark building, as designed by Zhou Xu. There were various services inside such as a mall, games, fitness, dining, etc. Basically, it could meet the different needs of people. A nearby metro stop and wholesale malls were also being built, so when the time came, it would become another bustling district of this city.
After this time, Zhou Xu was really recognized by Zhou Qiang. At the end of his sophomore year, Zhou Xu entered Zhou Qiang’s head office and he was even in the marketing department.
T/N : I’m really so sorry it took me so long to post the chap. As I mentionned before, I was in Portugal for holidays and I had neither internet nor computer. I wanted to post the whole chapter, but the second part hasn’t been edited yet, so waiting.
