Chapter 38

Actually, Summer Mu hadn't had dinner, but she stood still and didn't want to go eat with him.

"I've already eaten. Why don't you go eat first? After finishing, I'll be at the mercy of others."

He looked at her and said lightly, "It's okay, I'm the boss. I'll eat, and you'll be by my side, serving tea and pouring water."

Summer Mu said, "..." She had to follow him into the car.

In the past, when she went to eat with him, it was mostly dinner parties or upscale restaurants. Unexpectedly, he took her to a small shop today. On a road in a residential area, with a small storefront and average decoration, only five tables can fit inside. They arrived early and there were no other customers in the store yet.

"When did you become so down-to-earth? "asked Summer Mu.

Beck: "When I'm with you, I'm already very down-to-earth. Have you forgotten that I used to be from L City too? This shop has been around since I was born."

As the two were talking, the boss and chef walked over and handed them the menu attentively, saying, "Mr. Beck is here. It's the first time I've seen you bring friends over."

Summer Mu's heart trembled slightly as she lay on the table, smiling sweetly at the boss. Beck, on the other hand, had long legs overlapping and his arms lightly supported. Sitting in a small shop in the market, he was also sitting in a five-star hotel, with a calm posture. He replied while looking at the menu, "Well, it's not a particularly close relationship, I won't bring it."

The boss smiled, but Summer Mu was slightly stunned and immediately said, "Yes, I am a confidant of our boss."

Beck looked up at her without saying a word.

This meal was delicious and sweet. The boss's cooking skills were indeed impressive. Summer Mu's appetite had greatly increased, while Beck, like before, always got infected when he saw this woman eating sweet and delicious food, and her appetite had also become good. The mood of both of them was inexplicably good. Just like the dim and gentle night outside the door, the sparse lights of thousands of households, everything was extremely plain, but also extremely beautiful.

After dinner, Summer Mu didn't expect Beck to take her to a real estate company.

This real estate company was called "K" and was located on an office building next to the Second Ring Road. Beck took her upstairs, but she was still surprised when she saw him take out the key from his pocket and open the door of this company.

"How do you have a key?"

Beck replied, "I bought it."

Summer Mu: "…"

 After a moment of hesitation, I finally understood: 'Did you buy this... company?'

The light in the hallway was dim and soft. Beck turned his head to look at her, smiled, and rubbed her long hair behind her head, saying, "Yes, I bought it."

This company was neither big nor small, with a writing room of over 400 square meters and approximately 40 to 50 people sitting on tables and chairs. At this moment, the night was deep and there was no one in the company. Beck went to the french window, put his hands in his pockets, and looked out at the night scene. Summer Mu picked up some company introductions from the table and took a quick look.

The company had complete real estate qualifications and had previously operated some small projects. The internal processes and management systems were quite standardized, and the quality of the employees was also good.

She looked up at him and said, 'Do you want to get involved in real estate?'

"Yes, that's right."

She understood. To work in real estate, various qualification certificates were required, and applying to establish a company on one's own is too slow. There were countless small and medium-sized real estate companies in L City, and buying one of them was the most convenient means for Beck. With the shell of this small company, he can participate in various land bidding and construction projects, and then subcontract to the construction party to operate a complete real estate project.

"I think this company seems to be developing well, why is the boss willing to sell it to you?"

"He had financial problems, his funding chain was broken, and he was forced to change hands."

"Oh."

"Come here. "he said.

Summer Mu walked over to him and looked out the window at the silent lights together.

"Beck, is this going to be too big? Now, isn't the housing market bad? I heard that various policies are suppressing it. Moreover, the real estate market is very large

This' big 'refers to the clothing industry. The investment, cycle, and output of real estate are not on the same order of magnitude as opening a clothing chain store."

Beck naturally understood her meaning and smiled, saying, "I have said before that when I work , I look at the big industry trends and profits. Wherever the huge profits are, I will go. I have talked to many friends in investment banks, and although there are rumors and unfavorable conditions everywhere, I believe that the spring of the real estate industry is coming. Summer, I never consider what others will do. I only think about what I want to get and how to do it."

The words made Summer Mu's heart slightly shocked, and she was actually infatuated with the feeling he always gave her. So she nodded and said, "Okay, I got it."

She turned her head and looked at the large map posted on the wall next to her. That iwas the real estate development map of L City. She approached and looked at the mountains and rivers that were divided by major real estate developers, thinking that Beck was about to draw his sword and enter, and she didn't know what kind of bloody storm it would stir up again.

Silently lost in thought, Beck approached from behind. He pressed one hand on the map, and Summer Mu felt the warmth in his chest, while his face was also faintly pressed against her head.

 " What are you staring at? "He whispered.

She was almost enveloped by him, surrounded by the city lights behind her and a real estate landscape.

The vastness of heaven and earth was only the two of them.

Summer Mu's mind was a hazy blank, almost immersed in this thrilling ambiguity. She suddenly smiled and crawled out from under his arm, hiding aside and saying, "Boss, I'm sorry, I'm blocking you."

Beck remained silent, lowered his hand, and reinserted it into his pocket.

Summer Mu immediately looked around and said to him, "The largest real estate enterprise in L City is R Group. They are also the top ranked commercial hegemon in the entire Southwest region. Our clothing business has already had an impact on them. Now if we enter the real estate industry, we will have to compete with them again. They are so big, and our pressure will be very high."

Her words hit the nail on the head, but Beck just smiled and said, "Anyone's weakness is not elsewhere, but hidden within their strengths."

Summer Mu was taken aback.

Big iwas both the advantage and weakness of R. They can take more land and lay out a bigger game. But this can also lead to them being affected by a single move, making it difficult for them to focus on both ends. Moreover, their forces were too dispersed, and at a certain point, they might not necessarily be a match for excellent players. Was that clear?

Summer Mu vaguely understood, but couldn't imagine what he was planning to do specifically.

After a moment of silence, she asked, "What about you? What are your weaknesses?"

Beck looked at her thoughtfully.

Summer Mu thought: His strengths are confidence, intelligence, and ruthlessness. So, are his shortcomings hidden within it? Too arrogant? Too much room for maneuver?

But he didn't expect a faint smile and said, "There is an ancient saying that goes, 'A hero is sad when it comes to a beautiful woman.' When I fall in love with a woman, she may become my weakness."

Summer Mu's heart skipped a beat, but she replied, "Beck, you're really good at joking. Who are you to be in such a romantic relationship?"
