After General Manager Liang decided to build a safe house, choosing a location became a problem for him.
If he moved away, he would be unable to punish these bad neighbors.
However, he always felt something was missing if he were to renovate a single-unit floor.
Soon, his gaze fell upon the community's fitness area.
It was said to be 800 square meters, but General Manager Liang didn't need that much; he felt 500 square meters would be enough.
He quickly contacted the property management and explained his intentions, but to his surprise, he was rejected by them.
The reason given was that the area he needed to purchase was too large; if it were smaller, they might sell it.
However, the property management gave General Manager Liang an excellent suggestion.
It was the long-abandoned swimming pool next to the community that had not yet begun construction.
Upon hearing this, General Manager Liang instantly recalled the matter; it had been a selling point of the community before.
Unfortunately, the contractor had absconded with the funds midway, so the swimming pool project had been indefinitely suspended.
Thinking of this, General Manager Liang immediately decided to buy the entire swimming pool, and its area perfectly met his requirements, a full 600 square meters.
With the power of money, all transfer procedures were completed in less than an hour.
This made General Manager Liang, a working stiff, sigh that having money was truly good.
General Manager Liang had handled the venue issue; he returned home, opened his computer, and began searching for companies that build Doomsday Safe Houses.
He saw that the most famous was a company called Wuji, specializing in building Doomsday Fortresses.
According to online rumors, many of the world's top billionaires had sought them out to build safe houses.
General Manager Liang checked and found that they had a branch office just over twenty kilometers from his location.
Without hesitation, he immediately went downstairs and drove there, arriving after a thirty-minute drive.
General Manager Liang arrived in front of a massive mechanical gate, glanced at the navigation address, and confirmed he hadn't gone to the wrong place.
While General Manager Liang was still wondering, that huge mechanical gate opened in the way he had seen in his dream, which completely stunned General Manager Liang.
At this moment, a young woman in professional attire walked towards General Manager Liang.
"Hello, welcome to Wuji."
"Sir, how may I help you?"
The woman's gentle and sweet voice made General Manager Liang shiver, and he immediately stated his purpose.
"I saw online that your company undertakes the renovation of Doomsday Safe Houses. I'd like to speak with your person in charge."
"I want to convert an empty space of approximately 600 square meters into a Doomsday Fortress."
"I wonder if your person in charge is available to discuss this with me in detail?"
Upon hearing General Manager Liang's words, the woman realized it was a large project.
"Sir, may I ask your surname?"
"My surname is Liang."
At this point, the woman made a gesture of invitation.
"General Manager Liang, please come this way. I'll take you to the reception room first; our Director will be here shortly."
As they entered the company, the woman also gestured to another person, indicating for their Director to come over.
With that, she led General Manager Liang to a reception room on the sixth floor and arranged for someone to bring tea and refreshments.
"Tap, tap, tap."
General Manager Liang heard the sound of high heels, picked up his teacup, and looked towards the meeting room door.
A woman in a black professional OL suit walked in. General Manager Liang saw her beautiful legs encased in black stockings and even forgot to drink the tea in his hand.
The woman next to him coughed to remind him.
Only then did General Manager Liang realize his Gaffe.
Seeing General Manager Liang regain his composure, the woman introduced with a smile.
"General Manager Liang, this is our Director Liu, Liu Mo."
"Director Liu, I'll excuse myself now and won't disturb your detailed discussion."
Liu Mo nodded, and after the woman closed the door, she looked at General Manager Liang.
"General Manager Liang, let me introduce myself again. I am Liu Mo, Liu as in the character for 'willow' and Mo as in the character for 'foam.'"
"I am currently the Director of this Wuji branch."
This time, General Manager Liang did not lose his composure again, and he sized up Liu Mo.
She had a melon-seed face, slightly flushed cheeks, a high nose bridge, alluring red lips, and a pair of phoenix eyes; the allure in her eyes was captivating with just one more glance.
Coupled with the fair skin exposed at her neck and her long hair that nearly reached her waist, it made one's imagination run wild.
Such a beautiful and charming older sister, General Manager Liang thought to himself, "She's perfectly to my taste."
While he admired her, he did not forget the main business.
"Director Liu, I apologize for my earlier Gaffe. After all, I believe few men can resist Director Liu's charm."
"Again, I'd like to apologize to Director Liu. If there's an opportunity in the future, I hope Director Liu will give me a chance to make amends."
Liu Mo, having risen to the position of Director, had seen all sorts of people. General Manager Liang's directness made her regard him with higher esteem.
"General Manager Liang, it's no bother. Let's get straight to the point."
Hearing Liu Mo say this, General Manager Liang also directly stated his purpose.
"Director Liu, I am here to commission your company to renovate a 600-square-meter space."
"Though I say renovate, it's essentially building something from scratch, but I only have a few requirements."
"First, the exterior must be surrounded by at least a ten-meter-high wall, and the wall material must not be affected by extreme temperatures like high heat or severe cold."
"Of course, by high heat and severe cold, I don't mean ordinary weather."
General Manager Liang thought for a moment and added,
"Approximately, it should be unaffected by temperatures between 100 degrees Celsius and minus 100 degrees Celsius."
Upon hearing General Manager Liang's requirements, Liu Mo took out her portable computer and began to record them.
"Second, I hope there are three underground levels. As for the spatial design of these three levels, I'll leave it to you; I trust you are professionals. However, I need a plot of land that can be used for growing vegetables, fruits, and the like."
"Third, on the ground level, I need a fortress, a fortress that cannot be broken from the outside by external force, and whose internal temperature will not be affected by the outside. For the entire fortress's energy supply, I hope it is self-sufficient and does not rely on external sources."
"These are my requirements. I wonder if Director Liu can meet them?"
Liu Mo almost wanted to laugh upon hearing General Manager Liang's requests; these were too simple, only slightly challenging for them.
"General Manager Liang, may I ask what your budget is? We need to prepare a report for you based on your budget."
When General Manager Liang heard it was about money, he truly adopted the mindset of a nouveau riche.
"Budget? Money is not an issue!"
"I need you to provide a plan within one hour. Today is June 11th, and I want to complete the acceptance by July 20th."
"Director Liu, do you think this is feasible?"
Liu Mo was completely stunned by General Manager Liang's words; she even suspected that a competing company had hired someone to cause trouble for them.
"General Manager Liang, this construction period is simply too short!"
General Manager Liang heard this and said,
"Not enough money? I'll pay three times the price, and I can even pay half the deposit upfront. Director Liu, do you still have a problem?"
"Is my sincerity not enough?"
