Chapter 135: Chapter 135: Giving You an Office Building

When Lin Yi mentioned wanting a suite, Xiao Zihan’s face immediately turned red, her mind recalling what her grandmother had said to her last night.

Fortunately, she kept her head down, so no one else noticed.

Despite her heart pounding like a deer in panic, she didn’t refuse.

Once everything was arranged, Lin Yi carried two suitcases and led Xiao Zihan to the elevator with the bellhop, heading towards their room…

Following behind Lin Yi, Xiao Zihan didn’t even dare to lift her head to look at him.

Once inside, Lin Yi closed the door and set the luggage down in the living room before strolling around the room.

No doubt about it, the room’s decor was truly exquisite, exuding a genteel vibe everywhere.

He pushed open the master bedroom door, threw himself onto the bed, and lazily glanced at Xiao Zihan, who was quietly bringing in the luggage, his tone somewhat teasing:

“Hehe, little girl, want to sleep with me tonight…”

Already quite shy, Xiao Zihan’s face turned even redder at Lin Yi’s teasing.

She peeked at Lin Yi’s mischievous smile while hastily helping to organize the luggage.

Lin Yi, on the other hand, was thoroughly enjoying himself, especially seeing Xiao Zihan’s cute, blushing face.

“Alright, alright, I won’t tease you anymore. I’ll stay in this room, and you can stay in the smaller bedroom next door. After you’re done, I’ll take you for a walk.”

“Okay~”

Upon hearing Lin Yi’s words, Xiao Zihan responded softly, immediately busying herself.

Lin Yi hadn’t brought much on this trip, thinking it would be fine to arrive empty-handed.

Any necessities could be purchased nearby–there were supermarkets and malls.

But Empress Dowager Ye wouldn’t agree, insisting that things in big cities were expensive…

This left Lin Yi speechless. Arguing further would make him seem like a spendthrift who didn’t know how to live frugally…

In contrast, Xiao Zihan came well-prepared. Most of the luggage belonged to her.

After about ten minutes, Lin Yi took Xiao Zihan’s hand and left the hotel, wandering around the vast campus.

Tsinghua was indeed enormous, and even during the holiday, students who hadn’t gone home were everywhere.

Lin Yi was even more satisfied.

Previously, he was considering whether to start working on his business after term began, but now it seemed unnecessary.

He could get started immediately!

After spending an afternoon exploring the campus, Lin Yi roughly figured out what he needed.

Tsinghua’s strength really shone through. The campus even housed a dedicated startup incubator.

This was specifically designed for students to use as an entrepreneurship hub.

Once a student achieved significant research results, the school would immediately provide space and a series of supports.

Of course, whether or not a student could successfully form a team and succeed depended on them.

But that was already substantial support.

Based on his lunchtime conversation with Vice Principal Cheng, as per Lin Yi’s request, Tsinghua could provide him with a five-story, 3000 square meter standalone office building within the incubator.

Moreover, the rent for this building was immediately halved for Lin Yi, costing just ten million annually!

Now, ten million might sound daunting for a college student, but let’s not forget this is the Capital City, where every inch is worth its weight in gold.

Not to mention being inside Tsinghua, even if it were just between the Fourth and Fifth Rings, an office building of such size would cost far more than this.

Furthermore, this building was specifically prepared for high-tech labs, equipped with all sorts of advanced interfaces not yet available for public use.

Without exaggeration, no matter how sophisticated the equipment, if it fit here, it could be used without any issue.

The school hadn’t expected Lin Yi to demand such a large space initially.

Vice Principal Cheng had even offered Lin Yi a free 600 square meter floor to start with.

But, with Lin Yi’s ambitious goal to reach a market value of fifty billion within a year, what use was a small office floor?

After surveying the area, Lin Yi set his sights even higher.

In his observations, the L area of the incubator was newly established.

The office buildings had only recently been put to use, and their occupancy rate was low.

He noticed that the three buildings at the center of L area were completely empty.

Thus, Lin Yi began calculating, planning to approach Principal Cheng later to lease all three buildings together.

After all, with the system he possessed now, the great stuff he would acquire in the future was boundless.

Those three office buildings? Securing all sixteen in the L area wouldn’t be an issue!

After grabbing a casual dinner at an open dining hall, seeing that it was late, Lin Yi decided not to disturb Principal Cheng. Instead, he took Xiao Zihan back to the hotel.

They watched TV for a while before retreating to their own rooms.

However, with such a stunning beauty next door–his future wife no less–Lin Yi found himself unable to sleep.

After fiddling with his phone for a bit, he simply tossed it onto the bed, put on his slippers, and left his room.

Knock, knock, knock.

He knocked gently on the adjacent closed room door and soon heard Xiao Zihan’s soft voice inside:

“The door, the door’s not locked.”

Upon entering, he saw Xiao Zihan half-leaning against the bed, reading a book.

Though she was lying on the bed, she wore very old-fashioned, conservative pajamas.

From their faded color, Lin Yi could tell she’d worn them for at least four or five years.

“Hehe, why aren’t you asleep yet? I’m not sleepy either, let’s chat for a bit.”

Speaking, Lin Yi jumped onto the bed, sitting next to Xiao Zihan:

“Hey, these AC’s a bit chilly; it’s warmer sitting together. Huh? Let me see what book you’re reading?”

Seeing Xiao Zihan’s instantly flushed cheeks, Lin Yi deliberately grabbed the book in her hand, trying to change the topic.

But Xiao Zihan wasn’t foolish, knowing he was just averting the topic.

Hearing the distinct, heavy breaths beside her, Xiao Zihan’s heart pounded like a frightened fawn…
