My son is a reincarnated soul; I overheard his inner thoughts and became the richest man.

Upon hearing the figure of "ninety-two million," even the usually composed Chen Feng couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

This was even more exaggerated than he had anticipated.

The combined profits of the two companies easily exceeded 100 million in April.

"What about the number of people online?" Chen Feng asked.

"The peak has already reached 1.92 million."

Su Qing reported, "The daily average number of online users is stable at over 1.3 million. In addition, our ground promotion network has been thoroughly extended to county-level cities, with a coverage rate of nearly 95%."

"good!"

Chen Feng slammed his hand on the armrest, a hint of admiration flashing in his eyes. "The ground promotion team has indeed fought a tough battle these past few months, and their contributions are indispensable."

"Su Qing, go back and send out a notice."

After a moment's thought, Chen Feng offered a substantial reward: "The base salary of all frontline sales staff will be increased by 25%! The company is making a killing, and we can't let our brothers go hungry."

For Chen Feng now, this salary increase is just a drop in the ocean.

But for those field sales staff who travel all year round and earn meager salaries, this 25% increase is enough to make them grateful and work even harder for the company.

"Mr. Chen, you're so generous! On behalf of my brothers, thank you!"

Su Qing stood up excitedly.

What she admired most about Chen Feng was that this boss never made empty promises and was always generous with his money.

After listening to their reports and outlining the strategic priorities for the next phase, Chen Feng waved for them to get back to work.

After the two left, the office returned to silence.

Chen Feng got up and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, looking down at the bustling city below.

"There are over 90 million in cash sitting in Legend's account; they'd just get moldy if left unattended."

Chen Feng tapped his fingers lightly on the windowsill and muttered to himself, "As for Fengtian Technology, although they made more than 17 million in April, they are going to open 40 directly operated stores in one go. Decoration, stocking, staff training, everything will cost money."

"Moreover, we can't stop with GG; we need to increase our efforts. We'll leave the money from Fengtian Technology untouched for now, allowing it to generate its own revenue and expand."

After thinking for a moment, Chen Feng had an idea.

The 30 million yuan loan I took out from Shanghai Pudong Development Bank is not due yet, but there is no need to rush to repay it.

Cash flow is always better the more you have; having it on hand can be a lifesaver in an emergency.

However, some of those 90 million will indeed have to be spent.

"I remember bragging to Xiaotian before that once I made a lot of money, I would buy him a building on the Bund and collect rent from it."

A smile appeared on Chen Feng's lips. "There's no time like the present. Let's get this done before the housing prices skyrocket."

"Over 90 million should be more than enough to buy a building outright. It's the weekend the day after tomorrow, I'll go check out some properties."

"We'll give Xiaotian a surprise then, so he knows his dad keeps his word."

Thinking of his son's stunned expression, Chen Feng's smile deepened.

However, buying a house alone can be a bit boring; you need to find someone to give you advice.

"Let's call Su Qing."

Chen Feng thought for a moment, "Anyway, we're going to be using Legend's money, so taking her along is perfectly legitimate. Besides, this girl has good taste; she works in marketing, so she should be able to pick someone."

......

As soon as he got to work in the afternoon, Chen Feng called Su Qing downstairs.

Chen Feng's office is now basically fixed at Fengtian Technology, and he only glances at Legend when he's counting money.

On the other hand, he is in charge of both the expansion of directly operated stores and the research and development of the next generation of products.

Although the F1 and T1 have only been on the market for a little over a month, he has already had Zhou Hai start a preliminary research project on color screen MP3 players.

"Mr. Chen, you wanted to see me?"

Not long after, Su Qing knocked on the door and came in, dressed in a professional suit that made her look capable yet elegant.

"sit."

Chen Feng pointed to the chair opposite him and said with a smile.

"Okay, Mr. Chen."

Su Qing sat down as instructed, maintaining a proper posture.

Chen Feng got straight to the point: "I didn't call you up here for any official business. I mainly want to ask you for a personal favor."

"Private matters?" A hint of surprise flashed in Su Qing's eyes.

"Here's the thing, I'm planning to look at some properties this weekend and buy some assets. I'd like to find someone to give me some advice."

Chen Feng explained with a smile, "Besides, the money for this house purchase is planned to come from Legend's account. As the general manager, it would be suitable for you to come with me. Are you free this weekend?"

Upon hearing this, Su Qing's face immediately lit up with a smile: "You're free! I'm off this weekend. It's my honor to accompany you, sir, to look at apartments."

"That's good."

Chen Feng nodded and casually asked, "By the way, Su Qing, did you buy a house in Shanghai?"

Su Qing shook her head and smiled helplessly, "Not yet. I'm single right now, and I don't have a boyfriend, so buying a house isn't on my agenda yet."

"Besides, housing prices in Shanghai aren't cheap these days. Even in slightly better locations, they're around four or five thousand yuan per square meter. I don't have enough savings to buy a decent place."

Chen Feng was taken aback: "Almost there? Your current monthly salary plus bonuses must be at least twenty or thirty thousand a month, right? That's definitely at the very top of the pyramid in Shanghai, how could it not be enough?"

At this point, Chen Feng suddenly realized: "You're planning to buy it outright? You don't want a mortgage?"

"yes."

Su Qing nodded frankly, "I have a bit of OCD. The thought of owing the bank hundreds of thousands of yuan and having to pay it back for decades makes me uneasy and I can't sleep well."

After listening, Chen Feng thoughtfully stroked his chin.

After a moment, he looked at Su Qing and said seriously, "How about this, when you go to see the apartments tomorrow, you pick one too. And pick one for President Lin as well."

"These two apartments are a personal gift to you."

"You two are the earliest veterans who followed me, and now you each manage two core companies for me. You have made great contributions, so this is a special reward for you."

Upon hearing this, Su Qing was completely stunned, her eyes wide open.

Several seconds passed before she came to her senses and waved her hands repeatedly, saying, "President Chen, this...this is too generous! The treatment you've given us is already top-tier in the industry."

"When I first left my job, I never imagined I'd have the income and position I have now. Being able to work for you is the greatest luck of my life. Now you're even offering me a house; I really don't dare accept it, I feel unworthy!"

Chen Feng smiled and waved his hand: "It's just a house, don't feel pressured."

"Putting everything else aside, the martial arts tournament you organized this time alone brought the company more extra profits than just these few houses. Moreover, the company will rely on the two of you in the future, so this kind of benefit is only right."

Seeing that Su Qing was about to decline, Chen Feng pretended to be serious and said, "Alright, it's settled then. This is the boss's order, you can't refuse."

"Come with me the day after tomorrow, pick out an outfit you like, and also pick out an outfit for Lin Wan."

"this..."

Su Qing bit her lip, her eyes welling up with tears, and finally nodded heavily: "Thank you, President Chen! I will definitely work even harder from now on!"

"That's right."

Chen Feng resumed his gentle smile. "By the way, as someone who's been through this, let me give you some advice. I'm optimistic about the future of the real estate market; prices will definitely continue to rise. If you have some spare cash, you might as well buy a couple more properties, even if you take out a loan, it'll be worthwhile."

"Look, last year the average price in Shanghai was only two or three thousand, but this year it's almost four thousand. With your repayment ability, this mortgage is no problem at all."

"Think it over carefully."

Hearing these words, Su Qing was indeed somewhat tempted.

Even the discerning boss says so, so it must be true.

Moreover, since we no longer need to worry about our first home, we can certainly use our savings to invest in another one.

"Yes, Mr. Chen, I will consider it seriously," Su Qing said gratefully.

......

Two days later, on Saturday morning.

Chen Feng drove his Mercedes-Benz S600, which attracted a lot of attention, to Su Qing's residence to pick her up, and headed straight for the Bund.

Su Qing wasn't wearing business attire today; instead, she wore a beige casual trench coat, paired with jeans and canvas shoes, making her look exceptionally youthful and vibrant. She appeared less sharp and more like a gentle girl next door.

"Mr. Chen, which property should we look at?" Su Qing asked curiously as she fastened her seatbelt.

"A Glorious Mansion".

Chen Feng turned the steering wheel, a smile playing on his lips. "I've looked at the information. The location is superb, right on the Huangpu River, with a panoramic view of the Bund. And it's a new development, not even on sale yet."

The car drove smoothly on the highway and soon entered the impressive sales center parking lot of "Yaoshi Huafu".

After parking the car, the two walked into the lobby side by side.

The hall was decorated in a magnificent style, with a huge crystal chandelier casting a soft glow.

At the center is an exquisite model of the property development, surrounded by negotiation tables arranged in a staggered manner.

"Good morning, sir/madam! Are you here to view the apartment?"

A pretty young saleswoman wearing an employee badge immediately came up to us with a standard professional smile.

Chen Feng nodded, glanced around the model, and pointed to the row of high-rise buildings closest to the river, asking, "This row, is that what you call river-view apartments?"

"Sir, you have excellent taste!"

The saleswoman's eyes lit up, and she quickly introduced, "This is the best location in our development, with unobstructed river views. Especially this 'king of buildings,' which faces the Oriental Pearl Tower directly, and the apartment layouts are top-notch."

Just as Chen Feng was about to ask more questions, a shrill female voice suddenly came from the side.

"Hey, isn't this Chen Feng?"

Chen Feng frowned slightly and looked in the direction of the sound.

A heavily made-up woman, adorned with gold and silver jewelry, walked over arm in arm with a fat, middle-aged man.

The woman's face was filled with surprise, which quickly turned into disdain and mockery.

Chen Feng recognized the woman; she was his ex-wife, Su Yun, whom he had divorced long ago.

When he was at his lowest point after being laid off, this woman packed her bags and left without saying a word, then married a nouveau riche construction worker.
