Most of the shops downstairs are rented out. Except for the basement rented by Zhang Yaoyao, the leases of the other shops have either expired and been renewed, or have not yet expired. However, the landlord has made up his mind at this moment. After signing the contract, he will find all the merchants and ask them to pay this year's rent in one go.
Before leaving, collecting some rent can be considered as my last benefit.
Don't blame him for being greedy, just blame him for not caring about the moral code anymore as he needs money now.
The landlord's mind was full of calculations, but Ma Kaixuan and Lu Sinian didn't pay much attention to it and nodded in agreement at the same time.
"Okay, the rent for the shops downstairs will be yours this year!"
The total rent of the shops downstairs is only about 30,000 to 40,000 yuan a year. It doesn't seem like a big deal to collect the rent from them. After all, they have already bought the house at a price they like, so there is nothing wrong with collecting the rent next year.
As a human being, you can't be too greedy. You have to step back when it's time to do so.
After getting a satisfactory answer, the landlord's old face was wrinkled with smile. He didn't expect that the buyer was so generous and let him collect a wave of rent before leaving. So his loss on the house was not too big, just tens of thousands of yuan. But who made him wait for the money to be used, who made his son squander the money? He couldn't blame others, he could only blame his own son for not doing well. He immediately said with a smile
"Okay, then it's settled. Let's go write the contract now and then go to the transfer and settlement."
In this way, when Ma Kaixuan and Lu Sinian took the landlord to the Real Estate Bureau to write the contract for transfer of ownership, Zhang Yaoyao had already carried a backpack and rode a broken bicycle to stroll around the large and small wholesale markets in City A.
Unable to find the cloth she wanted, Zhang Yaoyao had no choice but to ride a tattered bicycle around all the wholesale markets in City A, and even took a bus to the fabric wholesale market in Lin County.
After a lot of trouble, a week passed. When Zhang Yaoyao came back from the cloth wholesale market in Lin County, she brought the cloth she needed with her, found a tricycle, unloaded the cloth and broken sewing machine she had found with great difficulty from the bus, told the tricycle driver that she had a shop on Fushou Street, and then waited for the driver to load the goods onto the tricycle. Then, Zhang Yaoyao lay down on the cloth, like a salted fish, and was pulled back to Fushou Street by the tricycle along with the cloth.
God knows she was busy and disheveled this week just to find the fabrics she liked.
As a senior fashion designer, Zhang Yaoyao has her own design concept. That is, if she likes something, she must use her favorite fabric to make it. This makes her very picky about raw materials.
Because in Zhang Yaoyao's view, every designed product is unique.
When they arrived at the shop they rented on Fushou Street, the tricycle driver saw that Zhang Yaoyao was a thin little girl and helped her move the cloth back to the shop. Zhang Yaoyao gave him two extra dollars as a tip, and the driver left happily with the money.
Zhang Yaoyao returned to the house, propped up her tired body, and quickly sorted her cloth. Now that the shop had been rented and the sewing machine and cloth had all been bought, she had to make samples quickly and put them in the display cabinet to make the shop profitable as soon as possible, otherwise her life this month would be a bit difficult.
After busying herself in the shop for an entire afternoon, all the cloths were finally hung on the counter and the sewing machines were adjusted to their proper positions. Zhang Yaoyao then went out swiftly because she still had to make a plaque.
These days, while Zhang Yaoyao was choosing fabrics, her brain was also busy. She named her newly opened tailor-made shop New Vision Clothing.
As a soul from the 21st century, Zhang Yaoyao's clothing design concept is definitely more novel and layered than that of 1989, so she gave herself a more novel name without any modesty.
When she arrived at the shop that made the plaque, Zhang Yaoyao negotiated a price with the boss and asked him to work overtime to make the plaque for her, hoping it would be finished early the next morning, because her shop would open in two days at most.
After sorting everything out, Zhang Yaoyao got on her bicycle and rushed to the military compound without stopping.
Now, she has rented a shop for her business, has the fabrics, and even bought a very good second-hand sewing machine. The most important thing is that there is a living room at the back of the shop, which is enough for Zhang Yaoyao to live and do business at the same time. She believes that the time has come to move out of the military compound.
As for how to tell her uncle, she didn't want to live in the military compound, so she decided to move out and talk to her uncle after some time.
Riding a shabby old bicycle, Zhang Yaoyao finally returned to the military compound. It was already dark at this time, but she could still vaguely see a few people washing in the public washing area.
As Zhang Yaoyao pushed her bicycle and walked away without looking back, she faintly heard the voices of several middle-aged women.
"Hey, who was that dark figure pushing a bicycle into the house just now? Why does he look like Zhang Yaoyao?"
"Yes, it's Zhang Yaoyao. She's been acting strangely lately, appearing and disappearing like a ghost. I haven't seen her in a few days, let alone Lu Sinian returning to the military compound. I don't know what's been going on with these two lately. Could they be together? Otherwise, why wouldn't they both return to live in the compound?"
"Oh, what are you thinking? With Lu Sinian's eyes, how could he be interested in Zhang Yaoyao? If he wanted to be interested, he would have been interested a long time ago. Why would he wait until now? I guess it's because Zhang Yaoyao shamelessly chased after Lu Sinian, scaring him so much that he didn't dare to go home, and Zhang Yaoyao kept waiting for him until he came back."
"Maybe you're right!"
"Who cares? Shameless women are like that. They can't even walk when they see a man."
"Isn't it?"
"Oh, I'm telling you, Huang Pinting and Li Zhanying have been looking for Lu Sinian's whereabouts recently..."
The voices of several aunties could be heard faintly, but Zhang Yaoyao no longer had the heart to pay attention to them. Since it was the original owner's fault, let it all go with the wind. Parking the bicycle at the door, Zhang Yaoyao went into the house, got herself some food, then quickly packed her luggage, fell on the bed, and fell into a deep sleep.
God knows she has been working herself to death these past few days trying to find the right fabric and a suitable sewing machine. She hasn't eaten or slept well.
Fortunately, everything has been settled and I can finally sleep peacefully.
Early the next morning, when it was bright, Zhang Yaoyao woke up slowly and took a look at the sky outside.
