36. Build a good relationship with Zhao Li, maybe you can get her to work in the future
"That's right. As you can see, our storefront is in a good location and it's large. I won't raise the price with you. It's 50 yuan a month."
Fifty dollars a month, in theory, this price is already quite cheap, especially when Lin Xiangmin can share the cost with her.
Before Jiang Shiyue could speak, the woman next to him asked, "Brother Xu, can't you give me a cheaper price? This is my older sister, and I'm young and I'm here to make a living. Please be considerate and give me a lower price."
Jiang Shiyue didn't expect that a woman would speak up for him in this way. He didn't speak for a moment, but just frowned and pursed his lips, as if he was thinking.
Mrs. Xu patted the woman's shoulder and said, "You know we are going to the city to take care of our daughter-in-law. Everything costs money. Fifty yuan is actually very cheap."
After saying that, he looked at Jiang Shiyue and said, "Sister Shiyue, it's not that your brother Xu and I don't understand you. It's mainly because my daughter-in-law is pregnant with twins and needs a lot of money. It's also because Xiao Zhao brought you here, otherwise we would have to charge you eighty yuan."
Jiang Shiyue didn't hear anything, he only heard the word "twins".
These days, getting pregnant with twins and having a natural birth is like having one foot in the gate of hell, and it really costs money.
Seeing that Jiang Shiyue didn't speak, the woman pulled the corner of Jiang Shiyue's clothes and said, "Sister Shiyue, what do you say?"
Jiang Shiyue came back to his senses and spoke tentatively, "Brother Xu, Sister Xu, how about this. I will pay half a year's rent in one lump sum, can you reduce the rent by one month?"
After all, I have 300 yuan in half a year. If something really happens, this money can help me get by for a while.
His eyes wandered between Brother Xu and Sister Xu. Seeing that their expressions seemed to be a little relaxed, he continued, "After all, I still have to renovate the shop, so I won't be able to open it for a while. I understand you, and you should also understand me. Just think of it as doing good deeds for your grandchildren."
If there was no second sentence, but the two of them had that second sentence, Mrs. Xu would have wanted to agree immediately.
Maybe this is the thinking of the older generation. They can live a bad life, but their grandchildren must be safe and healthy.
Thinking of doing good deeds for his grandchildren, Brother Xu immediately made a decision, "Sister Shiyue, I see that you are a straightforward person, so let's do as you say. Pay the rent for half a year in one lump sum, and we will waive one month's rent for you, which is equivalent to seven months."
Jiang Shiyue didn't expect it to be so smooth, so she nodded and said, "Okay."
After saying that, he touched the tip of his nose and said a little embarrassedly, "It's just that I don't have so much money with me today. Do you think I can give it to you all at once tomorrow?"
The main reason was that she was afraid that if she carried too much money, it would be lost or stolen, and she would regret it, so she only carried a few dollars with her when she went out every day.
She didn't expect it to be so smooth, otherwise she wouldn't have been unprepared.
After all, we still have to sign a contract, otherwise what will happen if they cheat us?
Moreover, if business gets better in the future and the couple wants to take back the store, who can they turn to for justice?
You should know that this situation is very common in modern times.
There are many cases where landlords are jealous of their tenants' good business and evict their tenants.
Seeing Brother Xu and Sister Xu's doubtful faces, the woman patted her chest and assured: "Brother Xu, Sister Xu, don't worry, Sister Shi Yue always keeps her word."
I said yesterday that I would come to pay them their wages at this time, and I really came at this time.
Brother Xu had experienced the beatings of society after all, and when he heard this, he immediately said, "Why don't you give me some deposit first."
Otherwise, if Jiang Shiyue didn’t come tomorrow, he would have waited in vain.
Jiang Shiyue opened her handbag and counted the money in front of the three people. She said with a smile, "I only have five dollars on me right now, which is not enough for the deposit."
Thinking of how Lin Xiangmin gave her money every day, Jiang Shiyue stuffed the money into her handbag and said, "How about this, I'll bring you fifty later."
It just so happened that she could write a receipt in Lin Xiangmin's shop to prevent Brother Xu and Sister Xu from regretting it later.
Brother Xu and Sister Xu's eyes met in the air, and finally Brother Xu said, "That's fine."
"But it's best to be here before 5pm. If you don't come, and someone else takes a fancy to the storefront, you can't blame us!"
Jiang Shiyue smiled and said, "Don't worry, I will come before five o'clock."
After all, it wouldn't take long to go to Lin Xiangmin's store, but in order to avoid being discovered, we would have to delay a little.
Coming out with Zhao Li, Jiang Shiyue stopped and said sincerely: "Sister Zhao, I'll go back and get the money first. Thanks to you today."
Zhao Li waved her hand nonchalantly, "Hey, what's the big deal? Besides, I can't help much."
"Of course I didn't. It was originally eighty-one months, but because of you, I was given fifty-one months. It's all thanks to you."
Although I don't know whether it is true or not, I still have to say it.
Moreover, Zhao Li has a good appearance. If we can establish a good relationship with her, maybe we can get her to work in the store in the future.
Thinking of this, he reached out and patted Zhao Li on the shoulder, "When the store opens in the future, I will definitely give you a discount."
Zhao Li couldn't help but ask curiously, "What kind of store are you planning to open?"
Jiang Shiyue did not answer directly, but just said mysteriously, "You will know later."
Subconsciously, she glanced at the watch on her hand and said, "Sister Zhao, I won't tell you anymore. I have to go back to get the money, otherwise I won't be able to make it before five o'clock."
Zhao Li couldn't help but frown when she heard that. "Then you go quickly. I'm going to work too."
After all, she has a job now, although she doesn't know how many days she can do this 50-cent job.
The two parted ways, and when they returned to Lin Xiangmin's store, Jiang Shiyue changed his equipment again.
But this time Jiang Shiyue did not go to the warehouse behind with Lin Xiangmin, but called Lin Xiangmin out directly.
"Uncle Lin, I found a storefront on Caiyun Street. There's a factory diagonally opposite. The storefront is about 100 square meters. The rent is 55 per month. What do you think?"
Lin Xiangmin was a little surprised. "The location of Caiyun Street is so good, but the rent is only fifty?"
Jiang Shiyue briefly explained, "And I discussed with Brother Xu that if we pay half a year's rent in one lump sum, we can get one month's rent waived."
When Lin Xiangmin heard about this good thing, he was a little impatient, "Then why are you hesitating? Just make it right away!"
Jiang Shiyue said with a bit of a smile, "It's not that I don't want to listen, it's mainly because I didn't bring much money today, only five dollars on me."
"Then I'll give you the money now."
It's just three hundred dollars, not a big deal.
