296 Old Acquaintance

“It’s not impossible. I don’t need to make money. I don’t lack money. I just need to use this method to prove my ability. My darned brother can’t wait for me to make some mistakes so that he can badmouth me in front of the old man.”

Zhou Wei smiled. He was also surprised by Chu Ning’s change. When he had first seen Chu Ning on the poster, Zhou Wei only felt that she was somewhat familiar. Later, when he verified that this was Chu Ning, he couldn’t help but sigh. Time had really passed very quickly. Chu Ning was really beautiful.

“I’m not interested in your family’s disputes,” Chu Ning shook her head. She did not want to waste time on such a meaningless topic.

“Alright, let’s get back to the main topic. I have some understanding of your situation. I can only say that Ye Zhen and Cheng Yi are very foolish. They actually replaced an outstanding person like you. Is it convenient for you to tell me your purpose in renting this building?” Zhou Wei smiled.

!!

“Like them?” Chu Ning pointed at the door of the meeting room.

“They’re just a bunch of lucky old guys. You’re not. Although I’m an arrogant person, I have to admit that you’re stronger than me after leaving the Ye family. As you can see, I actually lied to them. These idiots must be resentful and think that everything I have was simply given to me by my father. In fact, I earned the funds for the construction of this building with my own ability. Although it was partly with the help of my father, it was also a manifestation of my strength. I’m listening to part of your plan, and I hope I can help you. Of course, it won’t be long before you give me a lot of returns.” Zhou Wei explained.

“I want 100% of my company’s shares. I don’t accept any financing. I want to have absolute authority,” Chu Ning directly stated her bottom line.

“That’s for sure. I don’t expect to get involved in your business, but I’m just wondering if there’s any possibility of collaboration between us. Of course, even if you didn’t ask, I would’ve rented it to you. I believe in your ability.” Zhou Wei was actually considering more than what he had just said, but it was not the time to mention it yet.

“Then I won’t tell you for now. You’ll find out sooner or later anyway,” Chu Ning immediately replied.

“She’s really a prudent person.” Zhou Wei shook his head helplessly.

“After all, you said it yourself, I’m different from them.” Chu Ning said with a smile. She did not even tell Zhang Bo about her future plans, so how could she tell Zhou Wei?

“Yes, I respect your personal choice.” Chu Ning’s reaction was within Zhou Wei’s expectations.

“Then let’s talk about the rent. I told you before, I want to rent the first to tenth storeys of this building.”

Chu Ning had thought about it seriously. She only needed such a big space in the early stage. When she made profits in the later stage, she would directly build a building.

“The rent… Let me think about it,” Zhou Wei returned to his seat after he finished speaking. He took out a piece of paper and a pen and began to scribble on it seriously.

Chu Ning was not in a hurry. She patiently waited for the results.

“The annual rent is $100,000. As for the remaining, I want 30% of the net profit you make from this building.” Zhou Wei wrote on the paper for a few minutes before he raised his head and said to Chu Ning.

“You’re that confident in me?” Chu Ning asked in surprise. She had calculated in her mind and compared it to the rent of the surrounding areas. She would need more than 4 million yuan to rent the first to tenth floors.

“I’m very confident in my investment vision.” Zhou Wei said indifferently.

“I can only agree to 25%, for the second condition.” Chu Ning said after thinking for a while.

“Okay, deal.” Without any hesitation, Zhou Wei promptly nodded in agreement.

In the next hour or so, Chu Ning and Zhou Wei discussed the details of the collaboration. The contract would be signed the next day.

“If there’s nothing else, I’ll take my leave. Thank you for your support and trust, Manager Zhou.” Chu Ning also smiled. Zhou Wei had acknowledged her ability to earn.

“Do you have time to stay for dinner? I know a new restaurant nearby. Although it’s small, the food is very good.” Zhou Wei said with a smile.

“Oh… My apologies, Manager Zhou. I have something important to do tonight. I’ll treat you to dinner the next time you are available,” Chu Ning said somewhat regretfully.
