Rebirth at the Start: This Fate is Too Explosive!

Chapter 563 Xuanwu Lake No. 1

Ye Fan slowly and deliberately placed the warm white porcelain teacup in his hand on the gleaming mahogany tea table, making a barely audible sound.

He met the probing gazes that suddenly focused on him from Jiang Yi, Wu Shaojie, Zhang Lang, and the others.

With a composed expression, he spoke in a calm yet incredibly clear tone: "That's how it is."

He said calmly, "I have an entertainment and culture company called 'Minglu Culture,' and our office is currently rented in the Zifeng Tower."

He paused, as if stating an objective fact:

"Although the location is prime and the facilities are excellent, it's still a rented space. This will impact the company's long-term planning and brand image."

Especially considering my ambition to make it big enough, it always feels like borrowed clothes—somewhat restrictive and inconvenient.

His slender fingers tapped rhythmically twice on the smooth tabletop, as if making a firm decision.

He continued, "Therefore, I plan to move the company to a new headquarters where we can truly take root and establish a long-term presence. The hard requirements aren't actually that high."

He looked up, his gaze calm as he looked at Jiang Yi: "Ideally, it should be one that's not too far from Nanjing University... um, a standalone building."

Independent building?

These words were like a depth charge dropped into a calm lake!

The lingering warmth of laughter and the faint sound of the river flowing outside the window suddenly gave way to an almost deathly silence.

The air seemed to freeze, with only the faint aromas of tea and coffee lingering silently.

The Americano that Wu Shaojie had just brought to his lips, about to take another sip, suddenly froze in mid-air, the rim of the cup trembling slightly.

Zhang Lang's smile froze instantly, his eyes twitched uncontrollably a few times, and the melon seeds he was holding fell to the table with a "thud".

Jiang Yi, sitting in the main seat, gasped sharply, leaning forward instinctively. His eyes, which had always carried a lazy smile, were now wide open, filled with disbelief!

Independent buildings...

This isn't about buying a few floors or a few offices.

These four seemingly casual words imply that this excessively young college student is preparing to buy an entire commercial office building with independent property rights and a distinct image in the core business district of Nanjing!

This is no longer an ordinary property purchase, but a corporate-level asset acquisition and strategic layout!

Although Wu Shaojie's coffee cup was trembling slightly and his heart was pounding, he was still the closest to Ye Fan and knew him quite well, so his mental fortitude was slightly stronger.

Not long ago, at Zhang Lang's private car show, he casually bought a Porsche 918 Spyder worth 1338 million yuan in cash without batting an eye. That scene is still vivid in my mind.

With that "miracle car" as proof of his wealth, Zhang Lang's eyelids and lips twitched, but he could still barely hold on.

He kept repeating to himself: This guy is a super boss who truly has unlimited ammunition and doesn't play by the rules. He can't be judged by ordinary standards... He can't be judged by ordinary standards...

Jiang Yi, sitting in the seat, felt as if he had been swept away by a category 12 hurricane without warning, his worldview was churning and cracking!

An entire commercial office building with independent property rights?

His mind was uncontrollably racing with the sentence that Wu Shaojie had emphasized to him countless times in private, but which he had only taken as a slight exaggeration—

"Ye Fan is currently just a freshman at Nanjing University! A genuine freshman!"

It's one thing for a freshman to start his own company, but it could be a hobby or he might have family support.

Why does he keep talking about taking over a building in downtown Nanjing as his headquarters?

This is no longer just a hobby; this is about building a temple and erecting a monument!

What's even more terrifying is that, judging from Ye Fan's nonchalant demeanor, as if he were saying "buying a cabbage," what he's about to use is definitely not leverage or complex financing.

Instead, it is pure hard currency that would make any large real estate company envious and salivate – huge, or even astronomical, cash flow!

Jiang Yi subconsciously swallowed, feeling his throat go dry.

He originally thought that Ye Fan was just in a good mood today and bought a villa to play around with and improve his living environment.

Unexpectedly, buying the villa was just a "side dish" appetizer; buying an entire headquarters building was the real main course of today's "afternoon tea"!

That appetite and that spirit...

Jiang Yi took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the turmoil in his heart.

He completely changed his previous nonchalant, lazy, and indifferent posture while slumped in the armchair, as if he had instantly switched personalities.

He straightened his back, his shoulder and back lines became clear and powerful, and his whole demeanor suddenly calmed down, exuding the composure and focus of a true decision-maker.

His expression became extremely serious, and even the way he looked at Ye Fan completely lost its previous casualness and teasing, replaced by the solemnity and respect that one would show when dealing with a business tycoon of equal stature!

"Brother Ye..."

Jiang Yi's voice also lowered, carrying a sense of confirmation and seriousness: "I'm not bragging or trying to sell. But you've come to the right person today, and the timing is perfect."

He leaned forward slightly, his gaze intense:

"Our company happens to have a project that's nearing completion and about to undergo internal acceptance testing. From its location and specifications to its design concept, and even... its future symbolic meaning, it's practically tailor-made for you, for your 'Minglu Culture'!"

Upon hearing this, Ye Fan raised his eyebrows almost imperceptibly, his face remaining calm and composed, but a glint of intense interest flashed deep in his eyes.

He didn't rush to ask further questions, but simply picked up his teacup, took another sip, and then slowly put it down, a perfectly measured smile playing on his lips: "Oh? Is that so?"

Ye Fan's voice was calm, revealing little emotion: "That's quite a coincidence. Brother Jiang, why don't you tell me more about it?"

Jiang Yi cleared his throat, his expression becoming increasingly focused. He leaned forward slightly, his hands unconsciously gesturing on the mahogany table as if sketching a blueprint.

"Brother Ye must be very familiar with Xuanwu Lake; it's the pearl of Jinling."

He said with certainty, "It's located on the northeast corner of Xuanwu Lake, on the most central and unique lakeside peninsula. Backed by mountains and facing the water, it's a place where the wind is favorable and energy is abundant. Jinling First Construction acquired that location a few years ago and developed a high-end, low-density real estate project called 'Xuanwu Lake No. 1'."

Ye Fan nodded to indicate that he understood.
