Chapter 245: Chapter 158: GoGo Maps 3.0

’The Lin Shen I remember was a diligent, hardworking employee. How did he suddenly become so extravagant after quitting his job?’

’Did he go home and inherit the family fortune?’

’Or did he win the lottery?’

Manager Zhou couldn’t figure it out, and for a moment, he found it hard to adjust his attitude toward Lin Shen.

However, his tone did become much more polite.

"Why don’t you come over, and we can talk in person."

"Alright."

After hanging up the phone, Manager Zhou collapsed into his chair, his expression dazed.

’If Lin Shen suddenly struck it rich, would an ordinary person spend a million to rent office space and start a business?’

’Clearly impossible!’

’So, either Lin Shen’s family was already very wealthy, or the fortune he suddenly acquired was many times greater than a million!’

’But regardless of which was true, the fact before him wouldn’t change.’

That meant the kid, Lin Shen, had really made it big!

「3:00 PM, Huamao Mansion.」

Lin Shen parked the Jaguar XFL in the underground parking garage and took the elevator to the 1st floor.

By then, Zhou Qiang had already been waiting in the lobby for quite some time.

However, as Lin Shen strolled over, Zhou Qiang looked puzzled, apparently not recognizing his old friend.

Lin Shen was the first to speak, greeting him with a light laugh.

"Manager Zhou."

"You’re Lin Shen!?"

His eyes wide with disbelief, Zhou Qiang looked Lin Shen up and down.

Not only had his simple clothes been replaced by luxury brands, but his physique had also transformed from the overweight guy he was a month ago into his current well-proportioned, fit frame.

"You... You’ve lost way too much weight!"

Zhou Qiang had originally meant to call him ’kid,’ but on second thought, he felt such a familiar term might be inappropriate for him now.

So he immediately adopted a more polite and respectful attitude.

"Um... Shen, what have you been up to this past month?"

"Getting rich."

Lin Shen chuckled and patted Zhou Qiang’s shoulder.

"Just talk how you always talk. No need to be so formal."

"Haha... You must be joking."

Zhou Qiang managed to squeeze out a smile.

"You’re my client now, after all."

"But we’re also friends."

Lin Shen said it sincerely, and his words warmed Zhou Qiang’s heart. He put an arm around Lin Shen’s shoulder and sighed.

"Man, how times have changed. Who would’ve thought the guy who was a total nobody a month ago would be renting office space to start his own company a month later!"

"Just got lucky."

Lin Shen and Zhou Qiang made small talk as they walked to the property management office. Once Zhou Qiang had the keys, they took the elevator up to the 14th floor.

"This is the office space you’re planning to rent."

Unlike the bustling activity on the other floors, the 14th floor was eerily quiet.

Scraps of paper were scattered across the dusty tiles, and the once-smooth walls were covered in all sorts of scuff marks.

Beyond the hallway, the office itself was completely deserted. The lights were dim, small trinkets were scattered across the desks, and the glass partitions were coated in layers of grime.

"This used to be a small loan company. It’s been vacant ever since the boss got arrested."

Zhou Qiang then showed Lin Shen office 1402, which was in a similar state to 1401.

"So what do you think?"

Zhou Qiang explained, sticking close to Lin Shen’s side.

"The two spaces total 216 square meters. The rent is 12 yuan per square meter per day, and the property management fee is 30 yuan per square meter per month. If you sign a lease for three years or more upfront, we’ll include one free renovation and waive a portion of the utility costs."

"Not bad."

Lin Shen nodded in satisfaction and said without hesitation,

"I’ll take it. Let’s sign the contract."

Huh?

Zhou Qiang was dumbfounded.

’He wants to sign the contract already?’
