The elevator of the first skyscraper couldn't possibly be empty.
Fu Ruhai was waiting for his first batch of customers, just as Liu Sandao had instructed.
This was a business transaction that might fulfill the "Fu Guo Bu Shi" (fruitful charity) mission without him having to actively seek it out.
Regardless of profit or loss, the priority was to confirm the feasibility of this approach.
Since this was unprecedented, he could only proceed step-by-step with Liu Sandao, making improvements as they went.
It was like the saying, "crossing the river by feeling the stones."
This plan had already been discussed with his former leader, Zhao Qiansun, who had not objected.
Ying Bafang Company was located on the top floor of Yaotian Building, occupying a thousand square meters.
Currently, only two offices were set up; the rest of the space remained empty, to be improved appropriately once the company stabilized.
His office was situated on the south side of the building, facing the sun.
In essence, it faced north and looked south.
He had a panoramic view from sunrise to sunset.
Liu Sandao's office was next to his, with a similar orientation but a smaller area.
After waiting for a while and not seeing the expected visitors, he specifically went out to the entrance to check.
To his surprise, the elevator was moving, but it was going down!
However, less than a minute later, it started ascending again.
Fu Ruhai anticipated that the guests were arriving!
He quickly turned and returned to his office.
Mei Ziqi and Zhao Xiaoying finally emerged from the elevator, followed closely by Fang Huiran.
"Are you guys being silly? We're here to find the company, not to play with the elevator!"
Fang Huiran complained a little.
Although she had been relaxed moments before, an unknown pressure had awakened within her, and she needed to find a solution quickly.
Mei Ziqi was enjoying himself, which was undeniable.
Zhao Xiaoying was also happy, but seeing Fang Huiran's unhappiness, she immediately curbed her own.
"Alright, alright, we'll look for it now!"
Zhao Xiaoying said, and then quickly pulled Fang Huiran towards the area opposite the elevator.
"This top floor is amazing! It would be wonderful to drink coffee here and talk about life!"
Mei Ziqi exclaimed.
Who's to say this wasn't true?
Liu Sandao overheard their conversation and naturally understood their desires.
Moreover, "talking about life" was exactly what the company aimed to do.
This could be realized.
It was as if, the moment Mei Ziqi spoke, arrangements for this were already being made in a corner of the office.
Immortals cannot determine your destiny, but they can occasionally change your circumstances.
"Hey, look! This company has three mirrors!"
Zhao Xiaoying was the first to notice the three mirrors placed at the entrance of the company.
Fang Huiran said joyfully, "Yes, yes, it's exactly like in my dream!"
Mei Ziqi was both surprised and delighted to hear them say this.
His own dream had featured a similar place.
Could this truly be a reenactment of last night's dream?
This was impossible; no dream had ever been so perfectly reproduced in the world.
If it happened, it would be in a TV drama or a novel.
Therefore, Mei Ziqi was filled with hesitation.
"Come on, let's try it and see what happens?"
After Fang Huiran proposed this, she was the first to walk towards the mirror on the far right.
She wanted to find a solution, and the mirror on the right would speak.
As soon as she began looking into the mirror, a pendulum appeared within it!
"Tick-tock, tick-tock, tick-tock!"
This was a common hypnotic prop, nothing more.
However, after a voice, Fang Huiran found herself in a dilapidated street.
Behind her, shouts echoed: "Pay your debts! Pay your debts!"
Fang Huiran was terrified and desperately tried to run away.
She ran and ran, and ran.
But the voices persisted, accompanied by a man's curses:
"You slut, do you think you can escape? No money, no money you can sell yourself!"
Fang Huiran became even more frightened; this was more terrifying than her dream.
She couldn't help but cover her head with her hands, trembling.
Suddenly, a middle-aged, stout man emerged from a crossroads and walked towards her with a smile.
Her heart raced with anxiety; this must be the debt collector.
Instinctively, she lowered her head and pleaded:
"Please, spare me! I have no money, truly. If I had any, I would definitely give it to you!"
The middle-aged man ignored her and directly threw a bag at her.
"This is yours, take it!"
"I don't want it! I don't want it!"
Fang Huiran shouted.
"It can be exchanged for money!"
Hearing this, Fang Huiran immediately lost her fear.
Money was what she needed most.
She quickly picked up the bag and opened it.
Inside were some fruits that sparkled with a golden light, very vibrant, making one want to take a bite.
"How much money can it be exchanged for?"
Fang Huiran couldn't help but ask.
The middle-aged man smiled and said, "A lot, a lot of money!"
Fang Huiran felt as if she was embracing the bag, unwilling to let go for even a moment.
At this moment, a dirty hand reached out from the side.
Fang Huiran instinctively looked in the direction of the hand:
A dirty old beggar was looking at her with helpless eyes, "Miss, I'm hungry. Please, be kind and give me something to eat!" Su Dan Novel Network
The fruits were in her hand, looking edible.
But she hadn't eaten any herself, and she was about to give them to this beggar?
No, absolutely not.
The middle-aged man had vanished at this point.
Fang Huiran was extremely conflicted.
She was not stingy, but she still had many debts to repay. The middle-aged man had said these fruits were worth a lot of money. If the beggar ate them, wouldn't she lose a lot of money?
Thinking this, she clutched the bag even tighter.
Especially the opening of the bag, which she held tightly to her chest.
"I'm hungry, I'm hungry!"
Fang Huiran couldn't bear to hear the voice and kept running, running out.
She ran into an office, her hands empty.
A man stood before her, and upon seeing him, Fang Huiran realized it was Fu Ruhai!
"Fu Ruhai, what are you doing here?"
The moment she saw Fu Ruhai, Fang Huiran blurted out.
"I, I work here!"
Fu Ruhai replied calmly.
In fact, it was an awkward situation between acquaintances, especially before understanding each other's jobs.
"You work here? Doing what?"
Fang Huiran's question left Fu Ruhai speechless.
It seemed this young woman didn't even know why she had entered this company?
"Our job is to specifically help those in need!"
"You can fulfill any need?"
Fang Huiran asked casually, not committing to anything.
From the moment she saw Fu Ruhai, she felt that today's visit might be in vain.
She wasn't accustomed to expressing certain things, especially to people she neither knew well nor was a stranger to.
"Of course, any need."
Fu Ruhai said with certainty.
Seeing his affirmative response, Fang Huiran asked:
"I want to borrow a hundred thousand, no, one hundred and fifty thousand, is that possible?"
"Of course!"
"But I have nothing to mortgage. Do you have any conditions?"
Fang Huiran still voiced her concern, as certain events had occurred recently.
