Chapter 544: Collaborating Again

Jian Ai only pulled an indifferent smile and said, “I’ve known Uncle Chen for so long, but I haven’t treated you to a meal. That’s too ridiculous.”
Chen Lei knew she was probably joking. He only chuckled. “You’re busy with the company and school. Uncle Chen knows you’re busy. Besides, there aren’t so many worldly things between us.”
In Chen Lei’s eyes, no matter how successful Jian Ai was, she was still a child.
He had never pinned the hypocrisy of the adult world on Jian Ai. He also hoped that as Jian Ai worked hard in the business world, she would still maintain a childish innocence.
Jian Ai nodded obediently. “I know, Uncle Chen. But today, I’m just taking the opportunity to talk to you about something to treat you to a meal. Uncle Chen, don’t think of me as a complicated person.”
“Since you’re talking about us, why can’t we casually sit down for a meal?”
There was a hint of coquettish blame in her tone, and Chen Lei had no choice but to raise his hands in surrender. “Alright, Uncle Chen is making a mountain out of a molehill.”
Chen Lei picked up the glass kettle on the table and poured a glass of water for Jian Ai. Then, he changed the topic and asked, “Tell me, why are you looking for me? Is it about the company?”
Jian Ai took the glass and nodded. She went straight to the point. “My company just confirmed the next new project, and I wanted to talk to Uncle Chen about whether we can get Century Group’s help.”
“Help?” Chen Lei blinked for some reason, as if he didn’t understand what Jian Ai meant. He asked, “How can I help? Tell me.”
Jian Ai frowned and thought for a moment before saying slowly, “We bought an abandoned piece of land over six hundred thousand square meters in the western suburbs of Baiyun City. We plan to build the first large outdoor amusement park in Baiyun City.”
“Build an amusement park?” Chen Lei was shocked when he heard that. He could not help but widen his eyes.
However, he could not help but admire these people from East Sea Real Estate. They had an acute sense of project investments.
His Century Group had been working on real estate development for years, but it was very familiar only with residential areas. He rarely tried other projects.
To put it nicely, it was a stable fight. To put it bluntly, he was content with staying where he was and that lacked the courage to try something new.
Jian Ai’s East Sea Real Estate had only been established for a few months. The first project was the first six-star hotel in the north, and the second project was the first large outdoor amusement park in Baiyun City.
Chen Lei admired and envied this bold industry vision and investment.
However, Jian Ai naturally wouldn’t guess Chen Lei’s psychological activities. She only nodded gently. “This project requires more manpower than the hotel project. Although our company has been working hard to expand the construction department, there are less than four hundred people in the construction department now. It’s far from enough.”
“So, you want to continue working with our company on this project and let our company support this project in terms of manpower?” Chen Lei asked.
Jian Ai nodded without denying it. “I know that you have assignee a lot of people for our hotel project, but I don’t have a clear understanding of Century Group’s construction department.. Therefore, I just want to know how many people are left in Uncle Chen’s company and if we can make this collaboration work again!”
