"Do you want to rent both rooms together, or...?"
Tang Wanning pondered for a while before slowly speaking, "Let's rent both rooms together."
Sister Ma asked again: "What kind of business do you plan to do with the lease?"
"Open a women's clothing store for my mother."
Confirming that this was a legitimate business, Sister Ma's tone softened a bit. "From your accent, I can tell you're not a local, right?"
"Yes, my hometown is Huairen."
The two of them talked as they walked, and soon they arrived in front of the shop. Sister Ma picked and chose from the round plate and quickly found the key to the shop.
"You go in and take a look first. If you think it's suitable, we can discuss the rent."
"Okay, thank you, Sister Ma."
The shop was empty, with only a layer of dust and some garbage on the ground.
The wall was dirty, with black and colorful marks, which looked like a child's graffiti.
Fortunately, the space is large, and there is a fitting room with a curtain on the right side of the shop.
The location is good and the space is large, making it a perfect place to open a women's clothing store.
Seeing Tang Wanning come out, Sister Ma asked calmly, "How do you feel? Is it suitable?"
"It's quite suitable. I wonder how much the rent is?"
"You can see the location here. Although it's not the best, it's pretty good, so the rent is a bit higher. One room is 1,100 yuan a year. If you rent two rooms together, I'll give you a discount of 100 yuan, so it's 2,100 yuan."
In Tang Wanning's eyes, whether buying things or renting a shop, not bargaining would mean losing money.
So even though Sister Ma offered her a hundred yuan discount, she still wanted to bargain further.
"Sister Ma, how about two thousand, to make it a round number? Is that okay with you?"
Sister Ma didn't say anything, but just looked at Tang Wanning quietly.
Seeing her bright smile, like a little sun, Sister Ma felt a little happier.
Just when Tang Wanning thought Sister Ma was going to refuse, a smile suddenly broke out on her face.
"Okay, two thousand is two thousand, I agree."
The unexpected answer made Tang Wanning's eyelashes tremble in shock.
But soon, a smile appeared in the corners of her eyes and eyebrows.
At this moment, Tang Wanning was extremely happy because this was the money she saved with her own ability.
"Thank you, Sister Ma. You are not only beautiful and kind, but also speak so sweetly. You are simply the light of righteousness, shining upon all of us."
Hearing Tang Wanning's irrelevant flattery, Sister Ma burst out laughing.
This little girl is quite interesting.
"Come on, I'll print out the contract. After you sign it, you give me one year's rent."
"Okay." Tang Wanning followed Sister Ma and asked with a smile, "Sister Ma, I see you have a lot of keys here. Do you have any other shops to rent?"
Sister Ma paused and looked at Tang Wanning in confusion, "Why, you want to rent another room?"
"Yes, I plan to open a purely herbal skin care and cosmetics store."
“Yes, there are, but they are not cheap.”
"I believe Sister Ma. Since you said it's expensive, there must be a reason why it's expensive."
Sister Ma smiled and said, "The little girl is quite good at talking."
Upon hearing this, Tang Wanning patted her chest, but she didn't expect that she was too strong, causing her to cough continuously.
After a long while, she finally recovered and said, "I said what I really meant."
"I'll take you there to have a look first. If you think it's suitable, we can discuss the price."
"Okay."
Another shop is still on this street, but it is the second one at the entrance of the busiest street.
No wonder it’s so expensive, this is a prime location.
But isn’t this store still in operation? How can I rent it to her?
Seeing the puzzled look in Tang Wanning's eyes, Sister Ma smiled and explained, "The rent for this shop is due in two days, and the owner isn't planning on renewing it. You should go in and take a look around first to see if it's a good fit."
"Okay."
This store sells shoes and they are having a clearance sale right now.
As soon as Tang Wanning and Sister Ma came in, they were greeted by a woman with a warm attitude.
"Sister Ma, why are you here?"
For some reason, Sister Ma's attitude became a little colder and harder when facing women.
"The little girl wants to rent a house, I'll bring her to see it."
"Sister Ma, although the rent is due, it's not time yet. If you bring people to see the house now, it will affect my business."
Sister Ma looked surprised, and then looked around, "Is there any customer in the store? Where is he?"
The woman's face froze, and she smiled awkwardly, saying, "What if there are guests coming later?"
"We'll just take a look around and leave. Don't worry, it won't affect your business."
Seeing that Sister Ma had a bad look on her face, the woman snorted and turned back to the counter.
Tang Wanning didn't go in too deep. He just stood in the middle, turned around, and then walked towards Sister Ma.
"Did you finish reading it?"
"Well, let's go."
After leaving the store for a distance, Sister Ma's face darkened slightly.
"That tenant just now wasn't honest in her business dealings. Customers have reported her to the police several times. Now her reputation is ruined. She doesn't even have a single customer all day. Who doesn't care about their reputation when running a business? But she's the one who's constantly arguing with customers."
Tang Wanning just smiled and didn't comment.
After all, there are many kinds of people, and everyone has his or her own way of living.
Although she didn't understand, she chose to respect it.
Sister Ma didn't care and asked, "What do you think of this shop?"
"It's good, but I don't know how the rent is calculated."
