He stood up and swapped positions with Wang Yuyan.
Jiang Cheng's lips curled. "Ahem, of course. Let me tell you, if you were here on the scene, you'd know just how 'upright' I am."
Hearing Jiang Cheng say this, Wang Yuyan couldn't help but let out a soft, delicate huff of annoyance.
Her jade-like hand rose slightly, gently swatting Jiang Cheng's firm and robust chest.
Originally, she thought it was a call from one of his other sisters, but listening closely, the conversation between the two was clearly a superior-subordinate relationship.
Moreover, although the other party spoke in a cutesy voice, she didn't seem to catch the hidden meaning in Jiang Cheng's words at all.
Clearly, she wasn't an old hand at this.
But the fact that Jiang Cheng could tease her so unscrupulously showed that their relationship was somewhat subtle.
Consequently, all sorts of reveries surfaced in Wang Yuyan's mind, and she thought to herself, "Could it be..."
At that thought, her long, beautiful legs involuntarily wrapped around Jiang Cheng's waist.
It was as if she wanted to bridge the distance between them this way, or perhaps she wanted to test Jiang Cheng's reaction.
At this moment, Wang Yuyan's cheeks were as rosy as the sunset clouds, as enticing and lovely as a ripe apple.
Her watery big eyes gazed at Jiang Cheng with deep affection.
Her gaze was filled with endless tenderness, sweetness, and bashfulness.
Seeing Wang Yuyan take the initiative to provoke him, Jiang Cheng skipped right past subject one and Subject Two.
He shifted gears directly and hit the road for Subject Three.
Chen Xueer didn't banter with Jiang Cheng any further; after all, she knew her own personality.
Taking a vacation was out of the question.
She was the type who couldn't stay idle unless Xingchen no longer needed her.
Otherwise, she could only keep working like this.
"What are you planning to develop on that plot of land you bought?"
Jiang Cheng didn't expect Chen Xueer to find out about this so quickly.
While he paused for a few seconds to think, Wang Yuyan had already impatiently pounced back.
Seeing that Jiang Cheng hadn't responded to her question, a few strange sounds of breathing came from the other side of the phone instead.
Chen Xueer grew suspicious and asked curiously, "Aren't you playing a game? Why is there a Girl's voice?"
Just as Chen Xueer finished speaking...
Wang Yuyan suddenly became flustered and panicked.
She hurriedly reached out to cover her mouth, afraid of making any more noise.
Seeing Wang Yuyan's panicked state, a sense of mischief rose within Jiang Cheng.
He had originally wanted to end the conversation with Chen Xueer quickly, but now he didn't want to hang up at all.
With the corners of his mouth curling into a sly smile, Jiang Cheng slowly reached out his right hand and gently but firmly moved aside Wang Yuyan's hands that were tightly covering her mouth... Then, following up on Chen Xueer's words, he replied, "I stopped playing a long time ago. I'm at the gym; there's a Girl running next to me."
Unable to resist the strength of Jiang Cheng's hand, Wang Yuyan couldn't help but show a look of resentment.
Her originally fair cheeks were already flushed, and she subconsciously bit her tender pink lower lip.
"Oh, you haven't answered me yet. Do you plan to develop this land yourself, or do you have other plans?"
Hearing Chen Xueer's somewhat expectant tone, Jiang Cheng shook his head helplessly.
This Girl truly lived up to being the workaholic devil assigned to him by the system.
Logically, with such a heavy workload at the company, she should be very frustrated.
But Chen Xueer was the opposite.
Every time there was a new project, a hint of anticipation could be seen in her eyes and heard in her tone.
Jiang Cheng shook his head. "I haven't looked into this plot of land in detail yet. Tell me your thoughts first."
"Ahem..." Chen Xueer coughed lightly and cleared her throat.
Then she continued, "I think this location is excellent. It's very close to The Bund, and there are many large shopping malls nearby. Most importantly, it's right next to the Cui Lake residential area. I've just looked into it and have a rough concept in my mind. Let me tell you my thoughts for your reference."
"Go ahead, I'm listening."
At this moment, the enthusiastic Chen Xueer didn't notice at all that Jiang Cheng had unknowingly begun to pant a little.
Chen Xueer continued, "There's another project preparing for bidding near the land you acquired, diagonally across from Cui Lake Phase I. That plot is currently undergoing demolition preparations. I've heard some news that Pacific Insurance is very interested in it. If they get it, they might invest heavily to turn it into a new landmark for Huaihai Road."
"Our plot is about the same size as the one across the street. If funds allow, I suggest we also build a landmark-level structure like them, along with a large shopping mall. Alternatively, we could build a landmark Super Grade A office building over 200 meters tall and two 100-meter Grade A office buildings. This way, we can form a competitive stance with their project, which would be beneficial for establishing an emerging financial and commercial street."
Although he hadn't looked into it, Jiang Cheng understood instantly once Chen Xueer explained it.
Listening to Chen Xueer's introduction, Jiang Cheng was quite tempted.
"If we go by what you said, what would the approximate cost of this project be?"
Although Wang Yuyan was so shocked by the conversation between the two that she forgot her autopilot duties...
Seeing her dazed look, Jiang Cheng patted her perky buttocks.
The sound of typing suddenly came from the other end.
Chen Xueer added, "The specifics would need to be calculated by a professional construction company. However, the cost of the Shanghai World Financial Center was 1 billion USD, but it's extremely tall at 492 meters with 101 floors above ground."
"It's currently the third tallest building in China. But in my opinion, it would be quite suitable if our height is just over the standard 200 meters and under 300 meters; that's enough. So the cost is estimated to be around 5 billion to get it done."
Hearing Chen Xueer's words, Jiang Cheng suddenly felt that the Descendant Card in his hand was very necessary to use.
Although he currently had nearly 7 billion, the financing for Pinduoduo hadn't come in yet, and now he had to build a financial landmark.
He just felt that he was under a bit of pressure.
He needed a good vent.
Seeing that Jiang Cheng didn't speak while the Girl's breathing on the phone grew louder and louder...
Finally, unable to contain her impatience, Chen Xueer couldn't help but frown and ask anxiously, "Chairman Jiang, are you even listening to me?"
At Chen Xueer's question, Jiang Cheng suddenly snapped back to his senses.
He quickly reached out to touch his nose and then hurriedly stopped the movements he was making.
"I'll go over and talk to you in detail tomorrow. I have something to do, hanging up now."
Before he even finished speaking, Jiang Cheng unhesitatingly pressed the end-call button, leaving a stunned Chen Xueer to face the suddenly disconnected call alone.
Looking at the now-black phone screen, Chen Xueer stomped her foot in anger.
She muttered under her breath, "Hmph, that baddie. He must have been distracted by some pretty Girl at the gym~~"
