"Brother-in-law, don't look at me like that."

Lin Chao chuckled dryly, "People grow up. If I don't understand the dark side of this world, I'll never be able to stand on my own like you say."

Upon hearing this, Wang Qian felt somewhat gratified.

Lin Chao's awareness is a sign of growing maturity.

A person who grows up in a positive and righteous environment will indeed be very kind, but the side effect is that they will have a weak ability to cope with adversity.

When faced with something extremely dangerous and cruel, one will be at a loss and helpless.

Only by facing these dangers head-on and navigating them with ease can one truly become strong.

Now, Lin Chao has taken the first step.

"He's just being threatened by you like that?"

Despite his relief, Wang Qian still couldn't quite believe it.

Jinghao Street is a prime location in Nanming County, and the rent for every shop is ridiculously high.

Even if Lin Chao has something on Shen Lang, he wouldn't compromise so easily.

"That old lady's husband is a ruthless criminal. If he knew that Shen Lang and his wife were secretly doing this, he might kill Shen Lang."

Lin Chao glanced back at Shen Lang, who was looking anxious and uneasy in the shop outside. "Although this old man is a scoundrel like Shen Chong, he is very timid. He is afraid of dying and has no choice but to compromise with me."

"I see!"

While Wang Qian felt relieved, he also found it somewhat absurd.

If you're so timid, why do you still play?

Is it possible to find a unique thrill by being in the eye of the storm?

"Anyway, I'll keep these photos forever, so he won't dare to go back on his word."

Lin Chao said, "Although the methods are a bit despicable, Shen Lang is no saint either. He tricked us first, so we're just retaliating in kind."

"That's one way to think about it, but..."

Wang Qing pondered for a moment, then said, "A method that doesn't win people's hearts and minds will ultimately have hidden dangers. While using it, we must be careful to prevent problems before they occur."

"Okay, I've got it!"

After discussing with Lin Chao, Wang Qian returned to the store.

"Can we sign now?"

Before Wang Qian could speak, Shen Lang asked impatiently.

"Can!"

Wang Qian nodded and said to Zhou Yuanyuan, "Yuanyuan, could you please draft a lease agreement?"

He then added, "The rent is 2,100 yuan per year, and the lease term is ten years."

Everyone present was stunned upon hearing this.

Isn't it one dollar a year?

Why did Wang Qian say he wanted 2,100 again?

Do you really want to be a sucker and give Shen Lang more money?

"Just draft it according to my instructions, don't worry about the rest," Wang Qian urged.

"Okay, just a moment!"

Zhou Yuanyuan didn't have time to ask any more questions. She quickly took out paper and pen and drafted a lease agreement.

After she finished drafting it, she showed it to Wang Qian for a look. "Boss, do you think this is usable?"

"Can!"

Wang Qian nodded. "Go print it out, make two copies."

"Okay, I'll go right away!"

Having received Wang Qian's approval, Zhou Yuanyuan didn't delay any longer and immediately went to print the contract.

"Brother-in-law, what are you doing?"

Lin Chao finally couldn't help but ask a question, while at the same time he kept casting suggestive glances at Wang Qian.

“This is the normal market price; we can’t treat the landlord unfairly,” Wang Qian said meaningfully.

"Mr. Wang, are you really willing to rent my shop at such a high price?"

Before Lin Chao could answer, Shen Lang pressed on eagerly, his face beaming with elation.

"Of course!" Wang Qian nodded.

"Brother-in-law!" Lin Chao cried out in anguish.

However, Wang Qian, as if he hadn't grasped the implication in his eyes, continued to argue vehemently: "Xiao Chao, one should be honest. Does Boss Shen have to be so easy to talk to? If we're not straightforward, we'll really be letting him down, don't you think?"

Lin Chao blinked, unsure how to respond.

He felt that Wang Qian must have lost his mind to say such absurd things.

Shen Lang's face lit up with joy, his expression full of anticipation.

Shortly after, Zhou Yuanyuan returned and placed a lease agreement on the table in front of Wang Qian. "Boss, it's printed!"

"Yes, thank you for your hard work!"

Wang Qian nodded, then handed one of the copies to Shen Lang, "Mr. Shen, please take a look and see if there are any problems with the contract."

"good!"

Shen Lang nodded, took the contract, and read it carefully.

Although he is old, he came from a well-off family and was an intellectual when he was young, so he can still understand this kind of contract.

"No problem."

After carefully reviewing it and finding no problems, Shen Lang eagerly asked, "Can we sign it now?"

"certainly!"

Wang Qian handed over a pen, saying, "The lease agreement is in duplicate. Once you sign and put your fingerprint on it, it will have legal effect."

He paused, then added, "And this contract was entered into by and between you, right?"

"certainly!"

Shen Lang was filled with excitement. "I am truly moved by Boss Wang's support and understanding."

As he spoke, he picked up a pen and signed his name in the places where signatures were required on both contracts.

Then, he took out inkpad and pressed his thumbprint onto it.

He had just carefully reviewed the contract, and it was almost identical to other lease agreements.

The rental price, in particular, is a staggering 2,100 yuan per year.

This price exceeds the market price of ordinary shops on Jinghao Street.
