37. Shi Yue is really thoughtful
However, what Lin Xiangmin did not expect was that Jiang Shiyue actually shook his head when he heard what he said.
"I can't give it today. It's too hasty."
Lin Xiangmin asked in confusion: "Why?"
Jiang Shiyue explained, "Think about it! If we want to renovate, we must find more reliable workers. Today is not a tight schedule, there is no time at all. If we pay the money today, it is equivalent to starting from today, which is a waste of a day's time."
After explaining, he told her his plan, "I plan to give Brother Xu a fifty-dollar deposit later, and the rest tomorrow. This way, I can buy one more day."
Lin Xiangmin touched the back of his head and said, "You are really thoughtful."
She didn't know if it was thorough or not, but now there was something that Lin Xiangmin had to do, "But now individual businesses are not allowed. See if you can find a way to make our store legal."
Lin Xiangmin patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, I'll take care of it."
He couldn't guarantee other things, but he was very good at making the store legal.
Jiang Shiyue knew that there would be no problem letting Lin Xiangmin handle this matter. After all, he was a local and he had his own store, so he would naturally have a way.
I felt relieved. "Okay, give me fifty first. I'll pay the deposit later and see if I can find a more reliable decorator."
Lin Xiangmin nodded, "Then wait for me here, I'll go in and get it for you."
"No, I'll go in with you. I need to write a receipt in case they deny it."
No matter what era it is, we should always be on guard against others.
It is said that you should never test human nature, because human nature is the last thing worth testing.
The two of them entered the store one after the other. Lin Xiangmin found a piece of paper and a pen, and Jiang Shiyue directly picked up the pen and wrote two receipts on the paper.
Looking at the receipt in his hand, Jiang Shiyue nodded with satisfaction, "Uncle Lin, I'll take the pen first and return it to you when I come over later."
Lin Xiangmin agreed and handed the fifty yuan to Jiang Shiyue, saying, "Then I'll wait for you to come over."
Before leaving, he asked Lin Xiangmin for ink so that Brother Xu and Sister Xu could put their fingerprints on it.
After getting the money, Jiang Shiyue didn't delay too much and went directly to Caiyun Street to find Brother Xu.
The two were sitting on the sofa reading newspapers, looking quite leisurely.
Jiang Shiyue stepped in, "Brother Xu, Sister Xu, I'm here to pay the deposit."
Hearing the voice, the two raised their heads with some surprise in their eyes. After all, they didn't expect Jiang Shiyue to come back so soon.
The two men stood up immediately. Before they could speak, Jiang Shiyue said, "I have written a receipt here. You can take a look. If there is no problem, you can sign your names and put your fingerprints on it, and I will give you the deposit."
As she spoke, she took out the receipt that she had written long ago from her handbag.
Brother Xu and Sister Xu's eyes met in the air, and finally Sister Xu walked forward, took the receipt from Jiang Shiyue and handed it to Brother Xu.
There weren't many words on it, but it only took me a minute or two to read it.
Brother Xu pursed his lips and said, "Sister Shiyue is quite thoughtful."
Jiang Shiyue smiled and said, "I can't help it. I can't trust anyone when I'm out. I can only trust myself. Besides, I'm afraid that you guys will rent the storefront to someone else. Then I won't gain anything and lose more than I gain."
I didn't expect that such a young girl could be so cunning.
He nodded to show his understanding, but said, "But we don't have a pen here, so we can't sign or put our fingerprints on it."
Jiang Shiyue grinned and said, "It's okay, I brought it." Then she took out a pen and ink pad from her handbag.
Brother Xu's eyes flickered slightly, "Sister Shi Yue is quite well prepared."
"I thought you guys didn't have anything here, so I brought them here as well."
Things have come to this point, and since it was already agreed upon before, and they are in a hurry to rent out the storefront, there is naturally nothing to be fussy about.
Write your name on the receipt and put your fingerprint on it.
Seeing this, Jiang Shiyue took out another copy from her handbag and chuckled, "Here is another copy, in duplicate. You keep one copy, and I'll keep one copy for myself."
There was no difference between signing one copy and signing two copies. Although he was somewhat dissatisfied, he still took it and signed his name.
After making sure that Mrs. Xu took it, she gave some of the money to Brother Xu, and the two of them started counting the money in front of Jiang Shiyue.
Jiang Shiyue was not surprised. After all, they had just met today, so it was natural for him to be on guard against her.
The two counted twice in a row, and finally Brother Xu put the money into his pocket, "Exactly fifty yuan."
"I'll get the rest tomorrow, but the key to the front door..."
The two of them had prepared two sets of keys long ago, one for the tenant and one for them.
Since Jiang Shiyue has already paid the deposit, it is understandable to give him the keys now.
However, the couple did not give the key to Jiang Shiyue immediately. "Sister Shiyue, there are a few things we need to tell you!"
"First, you can renovate the storefront, but you can't tear down the walls, or scribble on them."
"Second, you cannot do business that violates the law."
"Third, if there is any damage to the facade, you have to pay for it."
Jiang Shiyue nodded and agreed, "No problem, let's write another contract tomorrow and include everything we just said."
In fact, there is nothing wrong with having these requests, and they are not excessive, and there is nothing to refuse.
After hearing this, Mrs. Xu handed the key to Jiang Shiyue, "Okay, now that the deposit has been paid, let's meet tomorrow. But if you don't come tomorrow, we won't refund the deposit!"
Jiang Shiyue put the key into her handbag and said, "Don't worry, Sister Xu, I will definitely come tomorrow."
Even if she can't come, she will ask Lin Xiangmin to come.
Of course, she wouldn't be unable to make it.
"Then Brother Xu and Sister Xu, I will leave first."
After all, she still had to be busy looking for a construction team and she definitely couldn't waste time.
However, construction teams in this era are not as easy to find as they are today, and they are also expensive. If you don’t have acquaintances, you really have no idea where to start.
After leaving the store, Jiang Shiyue went straight to the square, trying to get some information from the chatting aunties.
To Jiang Shiyue's surprise, there was no special construction team in the town. Special construction teams were only available in the city. There were only masons in the town at most, and they cost ten yuan a day.
If the family didn't have a rabbit farm, ten yuan would be fine, but now that the family has a rabbit farm, it costs more than thirty yuan a day, so Jiang Shiyue backed out.
