Tycoon: I Have an Unlimited Modifier

After all, Qi Sheng really did have the resources.

Never mind the Banyan Tree Group, which had a market capitalization in the billions.

His old friend, He Yu, had hyped up Spicy King alone to high heaven, saying it was an investment one would regret missing for a lifetime.

It had even tempted him.

Unfortunately, he didn’t have the money.

He didn’t even have what it took to get on board.

If Spicy King really could become the next Haidilao...

...with Qi Sheng’s net worth at the time, he might have actually been able to pull it off.

Wasn’t it just a matter of burning through cash?

For a tycoon with a net worth in the tens of billions, that really wasn’t a difficult task.

"That’s all for today. I believe we’ll be seeing each other again soon."

Qi Sheng had barely eaten anything before he stood up and left.

"This Chairman Qi sure has a lot of charisma."

Watching the restaurant staff look at Qi Sheng with such respect and admiration as he left...

...Wang Ning was deeply struck.

Even though he considered himself quite attentive to his own employees...

...he couldn’t command that level of status.

"Heh, of course! The Spicy King project is absolutely the wisest investment I’ve ever made!"

Hearing Wang Ning’s comment, He Yu couldn’t help but show off smugly.

"Old He, you used to always say that Pop Mart was the investment you were most proud of!"

Wang Ning looked at his old friend with a hint of reproach in his eyes.

"Ahem... Times change."

He Yu rubbed his nose and quickly urged Wang Ning.

"Come on, eat up. Even if it’s a buffet, we can’t be wasteful."

"Damn it, who told you to order so much? Are you trying to stuff me to death?"

Wang Ning looked at He Yu in mock horror, refusing to eat another bite.

"I don’t care. Either you eat or you pay the fine."

He Yu was stuffed too, but he still dragged Wang Ning along in finishing off all the food.

The main principle was to not be wasteful.

...

With the Banyan Tree Group’s official announcement, its top-tier brand, Banyan Tree, officially established a presence in Chengdu.

Its chosen location, the Shengxuan Financial Center, caused quite a stir.

In the past, Banyan Tree locations had always followed a secluded, resort-like style.

This time, however, the choice of a bustling metropolis drew some criticism from many Banyan Tree fans.

But the Banyan Tree Group’s explanation was simple.

The property was owned by the group itself. At that, the outside world had nothing more to say.

Who would be foolish enough to let someone else manage a property they owned themselves?

And so, Zhou Huaiping had been walking with a spring in his step lately.

The arrival of Banyan Tree had a significant impact on the office building.

Several large companies that had previously been noncommittal all signed lease agreements for their branch offices because of Banyan Tree’s move-in.

It was no exaggeration to say that Banyan Tree’s arrival...

...had increased the office building’s average rent by at least 10%!

The rent for a Grade A office building was already high to begin with.

A 10% increase was by no means small.

Seeing his own big boss, who was as elusive as a divine dragon that only shows its head but never its tail...

...Zhou Huaiping was extremely excited and hurriedly reported on his recent work progress.

In summary, the quality of tenants at the Shengxuan Financial Center was gradually improving.

Smaller companies were being weeded out, while the number of large corporations was clearly on the rise.

"Good work. If any tenants are unhappy about the rent increase, just reclaim their office space."

"The demand for office space from the group’s other subsidiaries will only increase in the future."

Qi Sheng nodded in satisfaction, offering Zhou Huaiping some reassurance.

"Also, the Banyan Tree Group’s main office in China will be relocating to Chengdu. Prepare a full floor for them."

Zhou Huaiping thought for a moment. "In that case, the tenants on the 12th floor were just making a fuss about lowering the rent a while ago. I’ll just not renew their lease."

"You handle it. Get in touch with the general manager of Banyan Tree China when the time comes."

Qi Sheng couldn’t be bothered with such minor matters, leaving them all to trusted subordinates like Zhou Huaiping.

"Will you be heading directly to the floor where Spicy King is located?"

Zhou Huaiping wasn’t surprised.

The big boss managed a million things a day; how could he have the time to worry about such trivialities?

"Mhm. Come have dinner tonight, too. We’ll have a small get-together."

Qi Sheng smiled and waved a hand. "Go on, get back to your work. You don’t need to follow me."

"Alright. Call me anytime if you need anything."

Zhou Huaiping didn’t follow him further, only seeing him to the elevator door.

As the elevator reached the 28th floor, Qi Sheng strode toward the company offices.

"Chairman Qi!"

The receptionist at Spicy King was pleasantly surprised to see the big boss, Qi Sheng, and immediately shot to her feet.

"Is President Yuan in?"

Qi Sheng smiled, nodded, and asked casually.

"Yes, she is. Would you like me to take you there?"

The beautiful receptionist looked at the big boss with anticipation.

"No need. You can get back to your work."

Qi Sheng waved his hand. ’Her looks and figure are just average. Besides, a boss like me isn’t interested in getting involved with his own staff.’

"Alright. In that case, just go straight ahead. The office at the very end is President Yuan’s."

"Mhm, I know."

Qi Sheng nodded and walked into the office.

"Hello, Chairman Qi!"

"Chairman Qi."

"Hello, Boss!"

A continuous, overlapping chorus of greetings rose from all around.

Many new employees looked on with curiosity at this big boss, who their colleagues had hyped up to be something of a legend.

"Everyone, please carry on with your work."

Qi Sheng waved a hand, not particularly caring for such formalities.

"Chairman Qi, I’m Lai Manling. I’m President Yuan’s secretary now."

Lai Manling had also heard the commotion and hurried over, pleasantly surprised.

"I remember you. You won the first prize at the annual party, right?"

Qi Sheng looked at Lai Manling, who stood before him with truly outstanding looks, dressed in a form-fitting gray office uniform.

The white shirt at her collar was stretched taut over her chest.

She was clearly a girl who was... well-endowed.

Further down, her slender calves were wrapped in flesh-colored stockings.

She wore black stilettos, which, combined with her somewhat cute face...

...created a strangely endearing and cute look.

"That’s right. After the New Year, Spicy King opened up some internal positions, and President Yuan selected me to be her secretary."
