Chapter 263: Chapter 168: Property Management Company

He’d only learned today, from a sudden notice, that Technology City was no longer under the Li Group’s management. It had been transferred to Li Mengqing.

He knew Li Mengqing was part of the Li Family, but he had never met her. He had no idea if this new boss would be easy to work for.

So, when he received a call from Li Mengqing saying she wanted to come for a look, he immediately gathered everyone from the property management company to welcome her.

"President Li, I’m Ji Fengchao, the manager of the Technology City property management company. What are your instructions?"

Ji Fengchao asked obsequiously, bowing slightly.

He knew who Li Mengqing was. The first thing he’d done after receiving the notice was find a photo of her.

He had even shown it to all his employees just moments before, terrified that some idiot might cause trouble for him.

"Follow his lead."

Li Mengqing deferred the matter directly to Gao Yuan. To her, there was no difference between her assets and his. In her eyes, she wouldn’t have acquired this property without him anyway.

"Let’s head to the property management office."

Gao Yuan said casually when he saw Ji Fengchao look his way.

The property management company would know Technology City best. The last time they were here, Yu Feifei had only given them a brief tour, so they’d only seen the superficial aspects.

Now that they were the owners, they needed to get a proper understanding of Technology City’s specific circumstances.

Ji Fengchao led Gao Yuan’s group of three to a conference room and sent the other property management employees back to their duties.

He could already tell that Gao Yuan was the true decision-maker of the group. Furthermore, judging by Gao Yuan’s expression, he disliked such ostentatious displays.

While Ji Fengchao was waiting on the three of them in the conference room, the employees outside began to whisper among themselves. A few of the younger women, who considered themselves attractive, kept their eyes glued to the conference room door.

"So, who do you think is our actual new boss?"

"Manager Ji already told us and showed us her picture. It’s the woman with the short hair."

"I think it’s the man who was walking in the middle!"

The others all glanced at the young woman who had spoken, inwardly cursing her. ’What a hussy.’

’That Yue Li just slept her way into Manager Ji’s bed. Now that she’s seen a man with more class, she’s already trying to make her move.’

’The man leading the way was handsome, no doubt, and he had this incredible charisma. But she didn’t even notice he was with two beautiful women, one of whom is our actual boss.’

’Yue Li should take a good look in the mirror. Does she really think she can seduce the big boss’s man just by acting like a tramp?’

This gossip wasn’t surprising, and even Yue Li’s fantasies were, in a way, perfectly normal.

In the eyes of ordinary women like them, Gao Yuan was someone to be admired from afar—for his looks, his physique, and his immense wealth.

They usually wouldn’t even get the chance to be in the same room with someone like him.

What woman didn’t dream of a domineering CEO falling in love with her, allowing her to live a life of luxury, far beyond that of ordinary people?

But in the end, that’s all it was: a dream to be admired from a distance.

They could never have Gao Yuan, and he would never give them the chance.

Gao Yuan wouldn’t even touch the fair-skinned, long-legged beauties who worked as streamers at his own company, let alone an attractive woman from a property management firm.

Inside the conference room, Gao Yuan sipped his tea while listening to Manager Ji’s report on Technology City.

"President Gao, Technology City currently consists of three buildings. Each has ten thousand square meters of usable space. Building One is the model building we’ve already renovated."

"The strategy previously set by the Li Group was to only lease the properties, not sell them. We’re currently still in the process of finding tenants."

"But because the asking price is too high, we haven’t been able to find any suitable corporate tenants."

...

Ji Fengchao went through the details point by point. Gao Yuan nodded occasionally, getting a basic understanding of the situation at Technology City.

Technology City’s location was a bit too remote, and the rent was too high. Small companies couldn’t afford it, and large companies had no reason to come to such an out-of-the-way place.

Even though its proximity to the subway was convenient, it wasn’t as if there was a shortage of suitable office buildings downtown. Why would anyone pay so much just for a nicer environment?

"Oh, and President Gao, there’s something I need to report to you."

Although Ji Fengchao was speaking to Gao Yuan, he still glanced at Li Mengqing, who was sitting beside him.

"Because no businesses have moved into Technology City yet, the property management company has been operating at a loss."

"Today, the Li Group informed us that they will no longer be allocating funds to pay the property management staff’s salaries."

After speaking, Ji Fengchao glanced cautiously at Gao Yuan and Li Mengqing. He had no choice but to bring this up; the property management company had over thirty employees.

In addition to the office staff, there were also maintenance workers. It was not a small expense. If he didn’t make this clear to the new boss, he might lose his own job down the line.

Li Mengqing had no reaction to Ji Fengchao’s announcement. She had already decided to let Gao Yuan take the lead, so she wasn’t going to concern herself with the details.

"Manager Ji, I plan to streamline the property management company’s operations."

Ji Fengchao’s heart leaped into his throat the moment Gao Yuan said this.

He knew the new boss’s visit wouldn’t be good news. ’A new ruler always brings their own court.’ The new boss would definitely have his own plans. He just didn’t know if he was about to get burned.

"Please, go on, President Gao. I will cooperate with your decision, one hundred percent."

Having been a property manager for several years, Ji Fengchao knew how to play the game. He understood perfectly: if he cooperated, he might keep his job. If he didn’t, his only option would be to pack his bags and leave.
