Two days later, Qin Yapei came to the courtyard to find Shen Xiaobei and officially replied that she agreed to be the legal representative of Qingshan Magazine.
However, she didn't invest a penny and just got half of the shares for free. She felt it was too much and insisted on reducing it, but Shen Xiaobei didn't agree.
In the end, according to Shen Xiaobei's opinion, the two reached an agreement of splitting the profits 50-50.
After the legal representative issue was finalized, Shen Xiaobei immediately and vigorously took care of the subsequent matters.
She had been looking for an office long before the New Year. After looking at many places, she finally rented a two-story house on Guangming Road.
This house is not far from the Old Times Western Restaurant where Kong Wanwan works, less than a few hundred meters across the street.
The first floor is a storefront, and the second floor can be used as an office, a living room or a warehouse, as long as it is decorated appropriately.
After renting the building and paying three years' rent in one lump sum, Shen Xiaobei brought Qin Yapei and Gao Hongmian to visit the building the next day.
"Abbott, this is the second floor. It will be the base of our magazine from now on."
"Xiaobei, what about the first floor?"
"The first floor is my sister-in-law's base."
"Ah? Xiaobei, what did you say? Didn't you say you wanted to bring me here to visit your magazine's office?"
Gao Hongmian was a little confused when she heard Shen Xiaobei's words.
"Sister-in-law, I'm bringing you here to visit our magazine's office, but I'd also like to take you to visit your tailor shop as well!"
"My tailor shop?"
"Yes, sister-in-law, this first floor will be your tailor shop from now on. No one in our magazine works here every day, so we don't need a two-story building. One floor is spacious enough."
"So I reserved this floor for you to open a tailor shop."
"Sister-in-law, I know making cold dishes isn't your thing. You're more interested in making clothes. Qing'en can walk now, so he doesn't need you to hold him every day. Just leave him to Aunt Zhao."
"You should just stick to your favorite job. I know you'll be happy that way!"
"Ah? Xiaobei, why do you care so much about your sister-in-law? Your sister-in-law doesn't know how to express her gratitude to you!"
Shen Xiaobei's words made Gao Hongmian excited and moved, and her voice choked with sobs.
She couldn't help but look around at the environment on the first floor again with joy.
He said incoherently, "Well, Xiaobei, how much is the rent for this storefront? I'll pay it to you. I can't let you pay for it for nothing!"
"Sister-in-law, the landlord rented the entire building to me, not just any individual unit. My floor is empty anyway, so why should you pay me any extra rent?"
"If you pay me rent, I'll become a subtenant, and the landlord says I can't sublet anymore. So, please don't make things difficult for me."
"I'm hoping your tailor shop will become more popular and bring some publicity to our magazine, boosting sales! Don't you agree, Abbott?"
Shen Xiaobei looked at Qin Yapei with a smile and winked at her mischievously.
Qin Yapei naturally understood it immediately.
Then he helped her convince Gao Hongmian and said, "Yes, sister-in-law, Xiaobei is right. No one comes to our magazine every day, so it's quite quiet."
"If you open a tailor shop on the first floor, it will be bustling with people coming and going, and it will also bring prosperity to our magazine. It will be a great thing for us."
"Besides, Xiaobei has already rented the place, so the first floor is empty anyway. If you can help her make use of it and make it feel more like home, Xiaobei should be grateful to you!"
"Otherwise, every time we come to the magazine office, there will be no one on the first and second floors. It will be so deserted that we won't have the energy to work!"
"Abbott, Xiaobei, look at you people who write articles, you are just good at talking. I really can't beat you in an argument with my sister-in-law."
"Okay, since you've already rented the place, I'll be more than welcome. I'll definitely make this tailor shop on the first floor bustling with activity, which will also bring some popularity to your magazine."
"Sister-in-law, that's right! Then let's think about how to decorate it and what to buy. You and Abbott have to get involved in this. I can't handle it alone."
"Of course, that's a must!"
The three women took a good look around the first and second floors again, discussing what to put in this place and how to do that place.
After all, these two places will be the main business premises of Qin Yapei and Gao Hongmian in the future, and Shen Xiaobei doesn’t want to design and decorate them completely according to her preferences.
It still depends on what they both like.
For the next period of time, Shen Xiaobei was busy with the two of them and Duan Donglin.
Hire a decoration team to purchase tables, chairs, sewing machines and other items.
Fortunately, the university starts late, and it is not yet the start of the school term, so everyone has time and the efficiency is much higher.
Gao Hongmian's tailor shop is relatively simple and was decorated earlier than the magazine.
After finishing, she and Duan Donglin brought back a batch of fabrics and prepared to make a batch of ready-made clothes. They would then hang them in the store to attract customers, and at the same time they would also accept custom-made orders.
Most of the designs for the first batch of ready-made garments were designed or modified by Shen Xiaobei on behalf of Gao Hongmian.
Since it is the first batch, it must be eye-catching, and she believes that her design level is several percent higher than Gao Hongmian.
However, if the tailor shop wanted to maintain a stable business in the long run, Shen Xiaobei knew that it still depended on Gao Hongmian's own efforts to improve his craft.
She can only give her some help appropriately.
In this way, if Gao Hongmian achieves some success in the future, it will be Gao Hongmian's own achievement, and there is no need to think that she has made a great contribution.
