Su Jiahhao said with a smile,
"What's there to be unwilling about driving?"
The two had a good relationship since childhood, and they were also family.
As long as he could help, and Su Yi was willing to let him help, he naturally wouldn't have any complaints.
Besides, he knew better than anyone what kind of person his cousin was.
Some things, he didn't need to ask; he knew Su Yi would definitely not treat him unfairly.
"Then it's settled,"
Su Yi said, turning his gaze to Tang Xiaoling and asking,
"What do you think, Sis-in-law?"
Seeing the luxurious mansion in front of her and everything around it, Tang Xiaoling already knew that her boyfriend's cousin was not simple.
What they truly lacked when they came to Modu was a job.
Now that Su Yi was willing to solve the problem they were currently facing, she naturally couldn't ask for more.
After witnessing the prosperity of Modu.
She truly wanted to stay here.
"If Sis-in-law feels it's not suitable..."
Su Yi thought for a moment and said,
"I can also find Sis-in-law another job in a factory."
The 'Putai New Materials' company he invested in had recently been hiring general workers.
If he really wanted to arrange for Tang Xiaoling to join, it would just be a word from him.
So, if Tang Xiaoling was unwilling, he could also arrange for her to go to 'Putai New Materials' company to do the assembly line work she was familiar with.
Tang Xiaoling was silent for a moment, then said,
"I'll listen to your cousin."
When Su Jiahhao heard Tang Xiaoling say this, his heart was instantly filled with wonder, and he thought to himself,
"Don't you usually make me listen to you? Why are you listening to me now?"
Coming to Modu to seek help from Su Yi this time wasn't his idea in the first place.
It was Tang Xiaoling's idea.
"Alright, then we'll listen to my cousin,"
Su Yi said, giving his cousin a meaningful look.
"From now on, cousin's and Sis-in-law's jobs are settled. Although we can't sign a contract in the company's name before it's registered, everything I say has legal effect. Please rest assured about this, cousin and Sis-in-law."
"Why say all this?"
Su Jiahhao said with a smile,
"No matter what, I trust you, my cousin."
Su Yi said,
"What needs to be made clear, should still be made clear. Before the company opens, you don't need to officially start work.
Cousin and Sis-in-law, just help me with the renovations, and liaise with the agency staff handling comprehensive services like business license registration, industrial and commercial registration, tax registration, and so on.
Just help me provide feedback on the relevant information. As for salaries, how about a base salary of 10,000 for cousin and 8,000 for Sis-in-law?"
The salary he offered.
It was naturally much higher than what the two had previously earned on the factory assembly line.
However, he originally offered this treatment with the intention of nurturing and looking after his cousin and cousin's wife, so it was naturally not surprising.
Moreover, the combined salary of 18,000 for the two of them wasn't actually much higher than the standard for ordinary employees at financial companies in Modu.
"Su Yi, that's too much,"
Su Jiahhao said hastily, believing his abilities weren't worth that price at all.
"Four or five thousand is fine; it's too much, I don't feel comfortable taking it."
Su Yi smiled, seeing his cousin's earnestness, and said,
"The salary is settled then. Tomorrow, cousin and Sis-in-law, come with me to check out the company's location, and we'll also rent a house for you to settle down."
After speaking, Su Yi called Liu Yiyi.
He asked her to help find a cost-effective one-bedroom apartment and also mentioned his plan to rent office space.
Liu Yiyi naturally responded to Su Yi's demands as a major client.
After briefly asking about Su Yi's needs, she immediately found the properties Su Yi required from a pile of listings and provided Su Yi with several commercial building office spaces currently for rent.
"Okay, that works..."
Su Yi replied after listening to Liu Yiyi introduce the properties and commercial office spaces.
"Tomorrow, please arrange appointments with the landlords and commercial tenants who want to rent. I'll go and see them in person, and if I'm satisfied, we can sign the contract directly tomorrow."
Liu Yiyi knew Su Yi was a very generous client.
Hearing Su Yi's words, she couldn't help but say happily,
"I'll arrange everything. Mr. Su is welcome any time."
Last time, when Su Yi bought the mansion at 'Huangpuwan Yihao', she received over 300,000 in personal commission.
It was arguably the largest single deal in her career.
This time, although she didn't know why Su Yi wanted to rent a house, nor what kind of commercial office space he wanted to rent.
But she was certain that this was undoubtedly another big deal.
Therefore, no matter what Su Yi's needs were, she would do her best to satisfy them and serve him wholeheartedly.
Su Yi responded faintly, then arranged a time with Liu Yiyi for tomorrow morning and hung up the phone.
"Mr. Su, dinner is ready."
As Su Yi hung up the phone, the nanny, Aunt Liu, had already prepared a sumptuous dinner and reminded him with a smile.
"Alright!"
Su Yi nodded slightly.
He then invited his cousin and Sis-in-law to the dining room for dinner.
Su Jiahhao and Tang Xiaoling sat by the dining table, looking at the table full of delicacies.
For a moment, expressions of awe once again appeared on their faces.
Although they didn't know exactly how expensive these ingredients were.
But by guessing, they could roughly imagine that the cost of this table of dishes definitely exceeded their combined monthly salary.
"Cousin, actually... you don't need to go to such trouble to entertain us,"
Su Jiahhao said, looking at the table full of dishes, clearly a little embarrassed.
"I just wanted to drop by and see Uncle and Aunt. If you had told us earlier that Uncle and Aunt weren't home, Xiaoling and I wouldn't have called you and bothered you."
Su Yi smiled and asked Aunt Liu to bring out a good bottle of wine, saying,
"We're family, why say all this? Even if you and Sis-in-law weren't coming, our usual dinners are prepared this way. Cousin, when you're here, just treat it like your own home. When we were little... didn't I often go to Uncle's house for meals?
Uncle and Aunt, and you, cousin, would bring out all the delicious food to entertain me. Now... this is just an ordinary dinner, what's so special about it?"
When his family was in difficulty before, Uncle's family helped them a lot.
He kept all of this in mind.
Now that he was a bit more prosperous, he knew he should reciprocate.
As he spoke, Su Yi poured Su Jiahhao a full glass of wine and continued,
"This is 10-year aged Qianzhou Maotai, cousin, have a taste. I wasn't used to drinking baijiu before, but now I'm growing to like it more and more."
"Wow, this wine smells so good!"
When the aroma of the wine spread, filling the entire dining room, Tang Xiaoling couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
Su Yi smiled, handed her a wine glass, and said,
"Sis-in-law, would you like to try it? This wine isn't that intoxicating."
"Can I... drink it?"
It was Tang Xiaoling's first time smelling such fragrant wine, and out of curiosity, she still wanted to try it.
"Of course you can,"
Su Yi said.
Immediately after, without waiting for her to refuse, he poured her about half a glass.
In his impression, his Sis-in-law could hold her liquor well, so he wasn't worried at all.
"Brother Xiaoyi, can I have a little?"
Chu Wan, smelling the wine's fragrance filling the room and hearing Su Yi pour wine for Tang Xiaoling, couldn't help but say, craving it.
Su Yi smiled and refused,
"No, that won't do. Baijiu burns your throat and will affect your singing. Plus, this is strong liquor; minors can't drink it."
Chu Wan didn't know if what Su Yi said was true or false.
But since Su Yi disagreed, she pouted slightly and didn't bring it up again.
"Good wine really does taste different,"
Su Jiahhao usually drank cheap, blended baijiu costing ten-odd yuan per jin with his co-workers at the factory.
Now, when he tasted truly good wine, he instantly appreciated its flavor.
He couldn't help but raise his glass and say,
"Cousin, I'll toast you. In our Shiba Village, actually, the person I've admired most since childhood is you, my cousin..."
A good bottle of wine is a conversation starter between people.
Su Jiahhao was initially a bit reserved, but as the alcohol gradually took effect.
He started talking significantly more, and at the same time, just like when they were kids in school, he put his arm around Su Yi's shoulder and laughed as he reminisced about interesting anecdotes from skipping school, fighting, and doing farm work.
And while Su Yi and Su Jiahhao opened up, chatting about their childhood and all sorts of trivial matters from their hometown.
Tang Xiaoling, however, remained relatively reserved.
Fortunately, after the two started drinking, they didn't pay much attention to her.
Moreover, since Chu Wan couldn't see and wouldn't notice her change in expression, it kept her from feeling too awkward sitting there.
As the brothers chatted freely, dinner lasted until 7 PM before it broke up.
Afterwards, Su Yi asked Aunt Zhou to prepare changes of clothes for his cousin and Sis-in-law.
Then, after a simple wash-up, he went straight to bed.
He slept until 8 AM the next day.
Su Yi got up, had breakfast, and then called his cousin and Sis-in-law to go look at houses together.
Returning to Liu Yiyi's branch office.
Su Yi discovered that Liu Yiyi had actually been promoted from a property consultant to a store manager.
"Congratulations!"
Su Yi said with a smile,
"Now I should call you Manager Liu."
Liu Yiyi said, slightly embarrassed,
"Mr. Su can just call me Xiao Liu. As you instructed, I've already helped you arrange appointments with the landlords of suitable properties and the persons in charge of commercial office space tenants. We can go view the properties anytime."
Su Yi nodded slightly and said,
"Then let's go!"
Liu Yiyi nodded, called other property consultants from the branch, and then drove another car ahead to lead the way for Su Yi.
As per Su Yi's instructions.
Liu Yiyi first took Su Yi and his companions to see several houses rented out by individual landlords.
After integrating his cousin's and Sis-in-law's opinions, Su Yi chose a house for the two of them that was closer to the Financial City and had a good neighborhood environment.
He pre-paid a quarter's rent and deposit, as well as the agency fees, for his cousin and Sis-in-law.
After that, the group, led by Liu Yiyi.
Arrived at several commercial building office areas currently for rent in the Financial City.
Among them, an office area located in the Guojin Building, in the center of the Financial City, was quite satisfactory to Su Yi, except that the rental area of the office space was larger than he had expected, a full 700 square meters.
"The previous occupant here was a foreign investment institution,"
Said the property management center manager of 'Guojin Building'.
"Just in the second half of this year, that is, a month or two ago, this foreign investment institution announced its intention to withdraw all investment operations and branch offices in China, which is why this space became vacant."
"Downstairs is the China branch of 'Anben Asset', right?"
Su Yi asked.
The manager nodded and said,
"Yes, sir, 'Anben Asset' is downstairs. Next door to this office area is 'Yirong Financial Technology Co., Ltd.', and two floors above, there are restaurant services. So, if you work on this floor, both the environment and living services are very convenient."
"Alright, this one it is then,"
Su Yi nodded slightly.
The commercial building office areas in the Financial City were all pretty much the same.
Although this office area was larger than he had expected, and such a large space wasn't needed during the initial stages of company operation.
However, considering the future expansion of the company's business and personnel, he felt that a larger office area wouldn't be bad.
So, after deciding, Su Yi, with the mediation of the agent, signed a lease contract with the other party.
He directly signed a five-year lease term in one go.
This made Liu Yiyi extremely happy.
Because of this, she would once again receive a large sum in commission income.
After signing the contract, Su Yi, accompanied by his cousin and Sis-in-law, went to an interior design company and finalized the preliminary design and renovation plans with them.
In the following few days of the National Day holiday.
Su Yi discussed the company's interior decoration plans and confirmed the construction period with the renovation company, and at the same time, he found an agency company that handled various industrial and commercial registration services and finalized the relevant agency contract agreement with them.
Concurrently, he also started looking for headhunting firms to help him identify core management personnel for the company.
After finishing these tasks...
When he turned around, intending to rest for a while, the National Day holiday was already over.
The two markets once again welcomed the day of opening for trading.
It was observed that, stimulated by the continuously hot market trends in the peripheral markets during the National Day holiday, as well as market news during the same period.
The two market boards began to show a significant gap-up opening during the call auction phase.
"Looking at this pattern, the market index today is likely to open directly with a gain of over 2%,"
Witnessing the extremely strong performance of major popular sectors and their leading stocks in both markets at the beginning of the call auction, Xu Qiao in the 'Modu Chaoduan Bang' main speculative fund group, where Su Yi was, couldn't help but sigh,
"I originally thought that market uncertainty would surge during the National Day holiday, and the peripheral markets would be more volatile. But unexpectedly... the peripheral markets actually surged continuously for several trading days with overwhelming momentum, directly boosting the bullish expectations for A-shares. Alas, I really shouldn't have been in cash during the holiday; I missed out on everything."
As he grumbled, others in the group hadn't yet had time to respond.
Market trading time had already advanced to 9:25 AM, and the call auction in both markets concluded.
And based on the two call auction results from the ten minutes before and after, at the moment when the two markets finally settled, amidst widespread attention.
The Shanghai Index actually opened with a surprising gap-up of 3.27%.
With an extremely powerful stance, it broke above the 3150-point level in one go, leaving a huge upward gap on the K-line chart.
