Having finally caught his breath, he wasn't in a hurry to go home.

After returning to Pengcheng and separating from his father, Su Yehao went straight to the tAt headquarters.

Initially, the tAt headquarters was located in the Shahe International Golf Club. However, in the second half of last year, the number of employees increased, and countless equipment was installed. As a result, they bought a six-story building in the Overseas Chinese Town resort area near the cultural tourism city.

It cost more than 160 million yuan, with a total construction area of more than 20,000 square meters. After rushing to renovate a portion of it, the company recently moved in.

Sitting in the S600, he arrived at the Overseas Chinese Town resort area.

This was Su Yehao's first time here. Looking from a distance, he found that the temporary office building he had bought didn't seem very impressive.

Originally, Overseas Chinese Town wanted to use this place as a small square, renting it out to attract merchants. Unfortunately, they couldn't attract investment, and the surrounding commercial area wasn't prosperous enough, so it didn't work out. Therefore, they sold it to cash out.

As a small living square, the internal layout of the building was naturally not as good as a regular office building.

However...

Because it was close to several resort areas, the surrounding scenery was indeed quite good, with excellent greenery and a relatively quiet environment.

Although he was a hands-off boss, his company was still developing. tAt had more than 100 employees through multiple public and campus recruitments, more than 80% of whom were from the mainland.

He entered the office building with the sign "tAt Network Company" on the outer wall.

Secretary Linda Yun suddenly remembered something and told Su Yehao:

"Oh, right, about two weeks ago, some residents complained about the noise and even called the police."

Hearing this abrupt sentence,

Su Yehao asked in confusion, "Here? Even if the renovation is noisy, as long as it's within reasonable construction hours, it shouldn't matter, right? Besides, it's just renovation, and there aren't many residents around. How loud could it be?"

Linda Yun realized that she hadn't explained it clearly, shook her head, and continued:

"Not here. I'm referring to the residential buildings you invested in in the World Garden residential area. Sixty apartments were borrowed by your father as employee dormitories, and they were the ones being complained about. This matter was handled by the assistant's office, and they mentioned it to me. It was during the New Year, and I forgot to tell you."

"...Oh, I was just thinking about going over there to take a look. I bought the whole building, what's the big deal? At worst, I'll buy the surrounding area as well."

Su Yehao said casually.

Affected by the Southeast Asian financial crisis, Pengcheng's housing prices were sluggish last year.

The more than one hundred apartments he and Nong Qingying had bought nearby earlier hadn't increased in price much. They only made a small profit because the purchase price was relatively low.

Now, some of those houses were used as warehouses to store a lot of Maotai liquor.

Collecting and making a small profit was something Su Yehao had gradually lost interest in. It was purely for fun. He ordered more than 70,000 cases of Feitian series from the Maotai distillery in three batches, with the words "Su Yehao Special Custom Edition" written on the outer packaging box.

Some of the houses were used as employee warehouses, provided free of charge for tAt employees to live in, and the remaining part was borrowed by his father and simply renovated for use as employee dormitories.

During the construction of the cultural tourism city, so many workers needed a place to live. In addition to the temporary dormitories, many houses were rented nearby.

With hundreds of workers moving in, it was inevitable that the noise would be a bit loud, so there were several complaints, and some people even chose to call the police.

The main reason was that the people who bought new houses happily moved into their new homes, but were constantly affected by the workers living in shared housing.

Some aspects were indeed not in place, so it couldn't be entirely blamed on the community residents for nitpicking.

Or perhaps some people felt uncomfortable that a beautiful high-end residential area had become a dormitory. Anyway, small conflicts arose from time to time, and the news reached Su Yehao's assistant's office.

Linda Yun didn't pay much attention to such small matters, and she only suddenly remembered it now when she came nearby, so she mentioned it casually.

After being received by the company's front desk and walking upstairs with the young lady,

Su Yehao continued,

"The company doesn't have an elevator? Never mind, a bunch of programmers, it's good for them to exercise by going up and down the stairs, anyway, it's only six floors high. About World Garden... I remember the floor plan is a bit strange. Buildings A, B, C, D, and E are all close together, separated by a wall, so the noise is inevitably a bit loud. Ask someone to talk to them, and if it really doesn't work, change the house and say hello to the workers living there."

Linda Yun nodded and said with a smile:

"It's been so long, it should have been settled, right? There are so many talented people in the assistant's office, they can definitely handle this small matter."

"Yes, the cultural tourism city project is estimated to be developed for several years, and neighborhood conflicts must be handled well, so as not to affect the housing prices in the community because of this small matter. I've invested in more than a hundred apartments there."

Su Yehao thought for a moment, then smiled and said: "But when my dad's houses are built, the workers can move in temporarily first. Accompany me to the World Garden residential area later, so as not to have the people on the construction site arrange things randomly and really turn my house into a communal residence."

Having worked on construction sites for so many years,

How could he not know the difficulties in terms of housing?

Some bosses, in order to save money, use bunk beds, and a house of one hundred square meters can accommodate more than a dozen workers.

It's not easy for the workers to earn money, and they often save as much as they can. Having a bed to sleep on is enough, and they wouldn't spend money to rent a house themselves.

As the young owner, Su Yehao felt it was necessary to understand the situation.

So as not to, in this era where communal living is not illegal, really bully the residents near the invested houses. It's not easy for people to spend money to buy a good house.

It's also not easy for migrant workers who work away from home. These days, house prices are not high, and renting houses is even cheaper, so there's no need to skimp on housing.

Let's put this matter aside for the time being.

When he came to the third floor, there happened to be a few young men walking downstairs. Su Yehao looked up and at first glance, he only felt that one of them looked familiar.

When another face appeared in his mind and the images of the two overlapped, he was almost stunned.

Standing on the steps, he instantly turned around and shouted: "Hey! A meeting is about to start... are you guys also company employees?"

Saying they were young men, they were actually in their twenties and thirties.

They stopped and looked at the young Su Yehao, and for a moment they couldn't remember who he was.

This also shows how many times Su Yehao has come to tAt. Almost none of the new employees who joined the company in the second half of last year had seen him, and even some of the old employees had only seen him face-to-face a few times.

The Internet industry in the mainland was just beginning to sprout, and most of the energy was focused on Silicon Valley. The investment was not on the same level at all.

Even so, tAt was still developing quite well. Saying the investment was small depended on who it was being compared to. These days, anyone who invested 10 million RMB in the mainland Internet circle was a proper big investor.

The one that Su Yehao was staring at was none other than Ma Huateng.

He had once sent a lot of money to his games, and had been the richest man in the country several times. How could Su Yehao not recognize him? He would recognize him even if he was turned to ashes...
