After breakfast, Fan Yu took his parents downstairs. Su Xi had already been waiting in the underground parking garage.
The nanny van had not been driven back by the bodyguards, since it was still needed to take Fan Zhicheng and the others to the Bund today.
Fan Yu handed Su Xi a set of car keys. "Here, these are for you."
Su Xi took the keys doubtfully. When she saw the emblem on them, she could not help saying in surprise, "A McLaren P1?"
"Where did you get this?"
Fan Yu smiled. "How could I fail to do something I promised you?"
Seeing Fan Yu and Su Xi standing there chatting, Fan Zhicheng and his wife exchanged smiles.
"I already had Liu Jian transfer the license plate to your name. It's still five nines."
"Mm, thanks," Su Xi said softly.
Fan Yu shook his head. "You picked up my parents from the airport yesterday, and I still haven't thanked you. Consider this car my thanks."
After getting into the nanny van, Fan Yu started it and headed for the Beauty Hotel.
As soon as they arrived at the hotel entrance, they saw his uncle's family waiting there.
The Bund was Magic City's most famous tourist attraction, located along the Huangpu River. From there, they could see the scenery of Lujiazui, Pudong, and other places across the river. It was said that the view was even more pleasing at night.
Fan Yu spent the entire day showing his parents and his uncle's family around. They went from the Bund to Nandu Commercial Street and then up the Pearl Tower, leaving his parents and uncle's family extremely happy.
It was not until evening that everyone returned, dragging their exhausted bodies behind them.
After sending his uncle's family back to the hotel and booking their return tickets for tomorrow, Fan Yu took his parents home.
His parents had originally wanted to return with his uncle's family, but Fan Yu and Su Xi persuaded them otherwise.
The elderly couple did not insist on leaving and decided to stay in Magic City for a while longer.
As for his aunt, Xie Yuqing, she had said during their call today that the company was very busy, so she had not come over. His parents said they would visit Xie Yuqing at the company tomorrow.
Early the next morning, Fan Yu got up feeling refreshed. He had not forgotten that he was going with Su Xi today to look at a restaurant property.
"Mom, Dad, I'm heading out. Su Xi and I have something to take care of today."
After getting dressed, Fan Yu called out.
"Mm, drive carefully and stay safe," Xie Wanru said.
Just as he took the elevator to the forty-second floor, he heard the elevator chime.
Su Xi, dressed in Burberry and wearing a limited-edition Patek Philippe watch worth 7.2 million, walked out of the elevator.
"Hi, good morning."
Fan Yu greeted her.
Su Xi nodded slightly. "You got up early."
Fan Yu smiled. "There's something to do today, so I got up earlier."
"By the way, where did Director Su decide to locate the restaurant?"
Su Xi nodded. "The Bund."
"The Bund?" Fan Yu looked puzzled. "Is there a suitable location there?"
As Magic City's iconic landmark, the Bund's commercial development had long since reached saturation. Moreover, most of the buildings there were historical structures. There did not seem to be any suitable building for opening a five-star restaurant.
For a five-star restaurant to get started, the first requirement was a standalone commercial building. Otherwise, could a five-star restaurant really share a building with someone else?
But while the Bund had a great location and heavy foot traffic, there did not seem to be any suitable place.
Su Xi pondered for a moment. "My father said he has already prepared everything. I don't know the specifics either. Someone will give us the information when we get there."
Su Xi drove the McLaren P1 toward the Bund with Fan Yu.
The Bund, Number 22, was a building of immense historical significance. It was said to have stood for more than a century and could be considered one of the Bund's landmark buildings.
When they arrived before Number 22, Fan Yu could not help saying in surprise, "Director Su really made a huge move. He actually got this place?"
Su Xi nodded. "This building used to be structurally unsafe, but because of feng shui and historical considerations, no demolition order was issued."
"Later, my father successfully applied to renovate it. It is no longer considered a dangerous building, and professional inspectors passed the quality inspection. It probably will not have any problems for another few decades."
Fan Yu nodded. "Director Su really has tremendous influence. He could even get his hands on a historical relic like this."
Su Xi smiled. "Of course. You have no idea how much my father has contributed to Hua Nation's real estate industry. Tianlong Group has investments in every first-tier city and provincial capital across Hua Nation. I heard that my father was also a major shareholder in the construction of Tomson Riviera."
When speaking of her father, even someone as cool and aloof as Su Xi could not hide the proud expression of a daughter.
It seemed Su Tianlong truly was very powerful. No wonder his total assets could reach several trillion.
"By the way, isn't Huihuang Real Estate supposed to be very strong in Magic City too?"
Fan Yu and Su Xi walked toward Number 22.
Su Xi froze. "Huihuang Real Estate?"
"Isn't that just a small company?"
"My father has not invested much in real estate these past few years, which is why Huihuang got to pick up some scraps. Otherwise, in Magic City, they would only be able to take on a few small projects in the suburbs. They would not even get a sip of the soup from the city's real estate market."
Fan Yu nodded in understanding. So before Tianlong Group, Huihuang was not even worthy of being called an ant.
When the two arrived in front of Number 22, they saw a woman in a professional skirt suit waiting there with a briefcase in hand.
"Miss, this is the information on Number 22 that the Chairman asked me to deliver to you."
Su Xi nodded. "Mm, I understand."
