Chapter 746 (Page 1/2)

Huo Li thought to himself, this Qiao Yan is really a boring person! When he first learned that Lin Man was his biological daughter, he didn't even show any expression or move at all.

Now, seeing that other people are living a smooth and comfortable life, he suddenly appears and wants to make decisions for them, trying to arrange the trajectory of other people's lives.

Faced with such behavior, Huo Li really had no interest in wasting time talking to Qiao Yan.

So, he just casually said a few perfunctory words to the other party and hung up the phone without hesitation.

Afterwards, Huo Li turned around and went back home and told Lin Man the whole story.

After hearing this, Lin Man remained remarkably calm and composed. She shook her head gently and said softly, "Grandpa, I'm the master of my own life. Even if he assigns me a job, I won't go. He's simply meddling in my affairs because he has nothing better to do."

"Perhaps it's because he's getting older that he keeps thinking about you. But since you're reluctant to acknowledge him, then that's fine. As for work, if you need anything, I can help you make proper arrangements."

"Grandpa, thank you for your kindness, but there's really no need to trouble you! In fact, I've already made plans to find a suitable shop and then open it myself."

Huo Li thought to himself: Anyway, my eldest grandson won't be back until next summer. Instead of waiting in the military compound, it would be more convenient to just move back to the city.

"Okay, then after you successfully open the store, why not take An An, Wen Wen and the others with you to go to the city to study.

Next semester, Ningning will also be going to the city to attend high school. We can live in that courtyard house. It's very spacious, and Ningning and her family can each have their own room." Huo Li's face was filled with longing for his future life.

Lin Man smiled and nodded, expressing her agreement: "Okay, Grandpa, let's arrange it this way. In September, the children will transfer to a school in the city."

"Xiao Man, I'll arrange for An An and the others to transfer to another school. You don't have to worry about it."

"Okay, thank you, Grandpa."

From that day on, Huo Li began to busy himself with the children's school transfer arrangements.

As for Lin Man, whenever she has free time, she will take the bus to the city.

Sometimes, she would ask around to see if there were any shops for sale near Wangfujing. Sometimes, she would be busy tidying up the courtyard house she owned.

In the Huo family's ancestral home, Lin Man carefully planted fresh and juicy strawberry seedlings, looking forward to them bearing sweet fruits in the summer.

In the nearby courtyard house with two entrances, Lin Man personally built a beautiful greenhouse and placed various orchid seedlings in it.

Not only that, she also arranged for another group of people to decorate the Xie Mansion.

In this way, Lin Man worked tirelessly running back and forth between the military compound and the city.

Although she was a little tired, every time she thought about the fact that the price of these houses would increase thousands of times in the future, she felt that it was all worth it.

Lin Man thought to herself that if she still couldn't find a suitable shop near Wangfujing, she might as well rent one. After all, renting a shop would be relatively simpler.

So, on that day, Lin Man found Huo Li and told him her idea: "Grandpa, I've thought about it and decided that if this doesn't work out, I can just rent a shop."

Hearing his grandson's wife say this, Huo Li smiled slightly, and then responded slowly: "Oh, Xiao Man, I was actually just about to talk to you about the shop, but I never thought you had already thought of renting a shop!

But it's okay. Xiao Man, grandpa asked someone to ask around for you, and look, he actually found some good news.

I heard that the lease of a pastry shop near Wangfujing is about to expire, and the owner is considering buying it back and selling it. So, are you interested in taking a look?

Lin Man perked up when she heard this and quickly asked, "Grandpa, can you tell me quickly, is that pastry shop big?"

Huo Li thought for a moment and then replied, "As far as I know, that pastry shop has two floors, the first floor is about 300 square meters."

Lin Man then asked curiously, "Grandpa, why did the owner of this shop suddenly want to sell it?"

Huo Li patiently explained, "I heard that the owner of that house urgently needed funds to go south for business, so he had no choice but to sell the shop."

Finally, Huo Li added, "The current price of this shop is quite high. It's almost three times the price of a house. A typical house is only around twenty yuan per square meter, but this shop is selling for sixty or seventy yuan per square meter."

Lin Man secretly calculated in her mind that the area of ​​the two-story shop was more than 600 square meters. According to the current market price, it would cost at least more than 40,000 yuan to buy it.

Although she had enough money on hand to pay for the fee, she decided to go to the shop in person to check out the actual situation and then negotiate the price with the seller for the sake of caution.

So, Lin Man turned to Huo Li and said, "Grandpa, I plan to go to the city tomorrow to inspect the shop first. Then I'll find a good opportunity to ask the owner out for a face-to-face talk."

Huo Li nodded in agreement and said, "Xiao Man, in my opinion, the location of that shop is not bad. You should take a closer look when you go there tomorrow and think carefully about whether that place is suitable for opening a flower shop.

If he feels that all conditions are satisfactory, grandpa will call him back immediately.

After all, buying a shop is no small matter, so it's better for us to make a decision as soon as possible. If we delay for too long, someone else might buy it first!"

Lin Man naturally understood the reason. She knew very well that in today's era, there were indeed not many people with an annual income of 10,000 yuan, but they did exist.

Those who are truly wealthy may have treasures worth millions, let alone a mere ten thousand yuan, but they are just unwilling to take them out easily.

Therefore, good opportunities like this are often fleeting. If you cannot act decisively to seize the opportunity, you may end up watching others get there first and buy that popular shop.

The next day, Lin Man excitedly ran to the city and strolled around Wangfujing. She observed the flow of people near the pastry shop and found that the location of the shop was very good and the flow of people was very large.
