Chapter 91: Chapter 91 General Manager of Wenqu Building
Lin Yi's mother: "Hmm, if it's really possible, of course that would be best. If your friend could help, that would be wonderful. Your father and I have fewer acquaintances in the city."
Lin Yi's parents' net worth is quite high, even reaching over ten billion at their peak. However, in the grand scheme of Xiangcheng, they are only considered slightly wealthy with no significant reputation or extensive social connections.
Yet, to some real tycoons, such wealth could only be described as a comfortable living at best!
Lin Yi chatted with his mother for a while, his mind still on the system reward he had received a few days ago, the Wenqu Building!
The building was not small in scale, at least it was the largest in the city center! It had a building area of about four thousand square meters, with a total area of fifteen thousand!
Lin Yi quickly communicated with the system, inquiring about the property manager of that building.
He got a bit of information from the system about the property manager and directly dialed the number provided.
After several rings, a male voice came from the other end of the line.
As soon as the general manager picked up the phone, he said very courteously, "Mr. Lin, hello, it's an honor to receive your call. Let me introduce myself, I am the general property manager of Wenqu Building. My name is Jiao Xingbiao; you can call me Jiao. What can I do for you? Is there anything I can assist you with?"
Lin Yi had already anticipated that the general manager would know him, so he calmly asked, "I want to ask if there are any vacant floors currently in Wenqu Building? I am interested in renting them out."
Jiao Xingbiao blurted out his reply to Lin Yi without any hesitation, clearly very knowledgeable about Wenqu Building.
"Mr. Lin, here is the situation: we currently have some spaces available on both the first and second floors, with identical layouts—nine hundred square meters on the first floor, eight hundred on the second. Our building has a total of forty-two floors, and as of now, there are still twenty office spaces vacant, each ranging from 277 to 388 square meters."
"May I ask what you need the space for, Mr. Lin?" Jiao Xingbiao asked, following his explanation.
"The offices are quite spacious. Are there any adjacent ones available? I'm in urgent need. If there are some on the lower floors available for rent, please let me know first."
His parents had not yet agreed on whether to expand the company's business in the city center, but considering relocating the headquarters here could be a good option.
Jiao Xingbiao, worthy of his position as the general property manager, immediately grasped Lin Yi's intent. Since Lin Yi personally inquired about this matter, it meant it was of significant importance, so Jiao Xingbiao firmly kept this in mind.
He hastily responded, "Of course, rest assured."
"There happen to be two adjacent offices vacant on the 32nd floor. I will instruct right now to reserve those offices for you."
Lin Yi: "Hmm."
Jiao Xingbiao continued, "Mr. Lin, July is just around the corner, and all of the building's rent for the first half of the year has been collected. Once the finance department has processed everything, the funds will be transferred to your account immediately. Please check your account by then."
Lin Yi became intrigued upon hearing this and inquired, "How much is the rent for the first half of the year approximately?"

Jiao Xingbiao replied, "After deducting all necessary expenses, you should have about three billion left, which will be transferred into your account by July 5th. Please Mr. Lin, check your account then!"
Lin Yi: "I understand, thank you for your efforts."
Jiao Xingbiao: "It's no trouble, no trouble at all, this is my duty."
Lin Yi didn't say much else and hung up the phone.
When Jiao Xingbiao saw Lin Yi's call, his heart tightened, and he broke out into a cold sweat.
He originally thought that Lin Yi's call was to question him about the delay in collecting rent!
In the past, everything would've been handled by the middle of June, and the money would've been transferred immediately. However, recently a company renting office space in the building had financial issues and delayed paying their rent for a few days. But Jiao Xingbiao had already ordered that they pay the rent within three days, or they would have to pack up and move out!
He had not expected that Lin Yi's call was to inquire about the vacant office spaces.
The call had indeed given him quite a scare! It turned out to be a false alarm!
No matter what, he had to protect his job—that was his cash cow!
As the largest building in the city center and a landmark, Wenqu Building was extremely popular. The profit from the building was also very substantial, with a net profit of a million in just one month; thus, making tens of millions in a year was a breeze!
He had to find a way to keep Lin Yi satisfied at all costs!
After speaking with Jiao Xingbiao, Lin Yi couldn't calm his emotions for a long time; he felt an extreme joy that left his brain blank for a moment!
Without having to lift a finger, he could receive three billion in net income in just half a year!
Could he be anything but excited?
Without doing anything himself, the rent from Wenqu Building, combined with the dividends from Fuwa Baby, would generate several billion in profit in just half a year!
What did this mean? He wouldn't have to worry about money for the rest of his life!
After calming his excitement, he immediately found his mother and said straightaway, "Mom, I have some great news. I've found a large office space in the city center. If you decide to expand the business downtown, we could take quite a bit of space! Will 1,700 square meters be enough?"
Lin Yi's family business was in the food industry, which included the expansion into large supermarkets, though the supermarket venture was a joint investment with others.
Lin Yi's mother paused and then said, "I need to discuss this with your father, to hear his thoughts."
"I was just talking to your dad on the phone. Guess what he's thinking? He actually wants to sell his shares and peacefully spend time at home with his grandchildren, quietly enjoying retirement. He said some business partners are not so easy to deal with, and the incident that happened before left your dad distressed for months!"
Lin Yi thought for a moment, then confidently said, "I support my dad's decision, and he doesn't need to worry. If it comes to it, he still has his son to provide for him!"
After hearing this, Lin Yi's mother laughed and said, "We don't need you to provide for us. If your father really wants to sell his shares, he'll have at least a billion or two! Not just for the two of us to retire—we could open a retirement home with that amount! Actually, these days I've been thinking about how to arrange your and Vivi's education in the future, w? What about the wedding ceremony?
Shouldn't we hurry and make up for it?"
