“I think my dad is right... It’s most appropriate to borrow this money from you first.”

"Why?"

"Because I'm most confident I can borrow from you... You don't want these 16 shops to sit here unused, like we're missing a leg, do you?"

I exclaimed from the bottom of my heart, "You two, father and son, really know how to make a big deal out of a situation!"

Cao Xiaobei laughed: "Only if you lend me money can our interests be truly tied together. In order for me to pay back this money, you have to do your best to promote this inn for me... So, you have to lend me this money whether you want to or not."

"Someone said you were naive yesterday... How the hell are you naive?"

"This was my dad's idea, but I am still me."

"Yeah, all the bad things are done by other people, you're the only innocent one!"

Cao Xiaobei didn't take it seriously. After taking a drag of his cigarette, he asked me again, "Who was the person who said I was naive?"

"Who else could it be?"

Cao Xiaobei immediately perked up and asked again, "What else did she say about me?"

I sighed and said, "I'm not in the mood to argue with you about this... Just tell me, how much rent is your dad asking for?"

"Not much, just one shop, 20,000 a year."

I was both amused and exasperated, and then asked, "Are you planning to borrow all this rent from me?"

"There's no one else I can borrow from."

"Are you fucking idiot, or are you really idiot? ... One shop costs 20,000, so 16 shops would cost 320,000... How about I sell my kidney for you?"

Cao Xiaobei counted on her fingers and was startled...

Looking at him, I was quite disappointed. This person had absolutely no concept of money, let alone any planning... Not to mention that I couldn't come up with that much money right now, even if I could, I absolutely couldn't lend it to him, because it would be a complete waste... At least for now, it seems that he has no business sense whatsoever.

His father, Cao Jinbo, was a shrewd man... He knew his son wasn't cut out for business, so he came up with this idea: to have me take the risks for his son... or rather, to have me wholeheartedly guide his son onto the path of entrepreneurship.

This time, I really shot myself in the foot… Yesterday, I shouldn't have suggested Cao Xiaobei open an inn; I should have taken over these shops myself. To chat with more like-minded people about "My Tenant Miss," follow "or" on WeChat to discuss your favorite books with other book lovers.
