Gao Shanshan's headache eased, and she quickly ran to Liu Ruonan, shouting apologetically, "Sister, are you okay? I'm sorry, I'm sorry! I didn't mean it!"
Liu Ruonan also felt much better, but her lower lip was swollen.
"It's okay, it's okay." Liu Ruonan comforted with a smile.
"My brother will definitely scold me if he sees me." Gao Shanshan pouted, and her pitiful look made people feel distressed.
"How could that be? Your brother loves you so much, he wouldn't do that!" Liu Ruonan comforted him, "Okay, get up and wash your face, let's go out for a walk."
Gao Shanshan was interested when she heard that they were going out for a walk. At that time, the hotel did not have a separate toilet, but a public area that was specifically used for washing.
Gao Shanshan disappeared in a flash. Liu Ruonan locked the door and followed Gao Shanshan closely with Chen Lei.
Things in the city are so fashionable, and Gao Shanshan loves them very much. There are many little girls' hair accessories in the mall, and Gao Shanshan can't put them down. Liu Ruonan bought a few pieces for Gao Shanshan, and Gao Shanshan didn't accept them at first. Although she liked them, she also knew that she couldn't spend her sister's money carelessly.
What's more, although this sister is called affectionately, she is actually just a sister-in-law.
When I was at home, I was reluctant to spend my parents' money, so how could I possibly calculate the money of my brother and sister-in-law? But Liu Ruonan said that since I came to the city, I had to dress up nicely and not let the city people look down on us country people.
In the end, Gao Shanshan accepted it. She wore the bow hair accessory directly on her hair. The ribbon fluttered when she walked, making her look like a fairy. Gao Shanshan was so happy that she couldn't close her mouth.
There was also a hair accessory that Gao Shanshan had been holding in her hand. She loved it so much that she said she would keep it to wear when school started.
While passing a street, Gao Shanshan saw a newly renovated building with a rental advertisement posted on it.
Liu Ruonan frowned slightly, feeling that this place was very familiar. Suddenly she remembered that this was the most prosperous prime location in the city many years ago, and the rent here was also shockingly high.
But why did this street look so desolate? Furthermore, the red paper advertising the rentals looked faded, clearly having been there for a long time, yet no one seemed to have rented a place there.
What exactly happened on this street in this era?
Liu Ruonan remembered that when she was shopping in this mall, Zhuang Shengge once explained to her that this area was originally an old movie theater. Because the movie theater was too old and there was no money for renovation, it could not keep up with the times and was eventually eliminated.
The manager of the building converted the old cinema into shops and prepared to rent them out.
Perhaps people back then were shortsighted, not realizing the demands of future urban development and only seeking prime locations.
Thinking of this, Liu Ruonan felt quite relieved, thinking that this was indeed a good business opportunity. Since no one else was renting it, she would be the first one!
After going around in circles, I finally found the manager in question.
Because the population here is sparse, the rent is also very cheap. After some calculations and a chat with the manager, Liu Ruonan decided to rent three shops. Liu Ruonan actually felt very regretful. If she had enough money, she would definitely take advantage of this good business opportunity and rent more shops.
When the manager was drafting the contract, he asked Liu Ruonan how long she planned to sign it for. Liu Ruonan replied cheerfully, "Fifteen years!"
Fifteen years? That's a long timeframe. Who knows what the future holds? The manager excitedly agreed. After all, no one was willing to rent the place now, so it was sitting empty anyway. Liu Ruonan's lease would help them recoup some of their investment.
In fact, the manager is still very optimistic about this place, and he is also very optimistic about Liu Ruonan. Although Liu Ruonan is a woman, she is very smart and courageous in doing business.
He thought Liu Ruonan had set a precedent. Her lease might lead to more contracts. The manager was also a shrewd businessman. Using the initial low return to buy the subsequent high return was a very profitable deal.
After the contract was signed, the manager politely shook hands with Liu Ruonan.
“It’s a pleasure to work with you!”
"It's a pleasure working with you!" Liu Ruonan responded with a smile.
"I wish you a prosperous business. I won't bother you anymore." After the manager said this, he took the contract and left in a leisurely manner.
Gao Shanshan looked at Liu Ruonan and asked in disbelief, "Sister, is this ours from now on?"
"Yes! It's ours. We can do business here." Liu Ruonan looked at the shop, holding the key in her hand. Finally, she had the opportunity to show her skills and achieve her great revenge.
"Ruonan, you are awesome!" Chen Lei couldn't help but give Liu Ruonan a thumbs up.
Chen Lei is a simple-minded person. From the day he met Liu Ruonan, he treated her sincerely. This time, when Liu Ruonan brought him to the city, he felt even more grateful to her.
Liu Ruonan smiled and took Gao Shanshan and Chen Lei to check out the store.
Of the three shops she rented, two faced the street and could be used for business. There was also another in the backyard that could be renovated and used as a residence. This saved her money on hotel accommodation, which was a good thing.
The one at the back is cheaper because it doesn't face the street, but it's larger, about 100 square meters, and has two doors.
Liu Ruonan thought, if she built a partition in the middle, it would become two rooms. She and Gao Shanshan would live in one, and Chen Lei would live in the other. Zhuang Sheng was going to live in the army anyway, so if he had the chance to come back and live there, it would depend on the circumstances.
Liu Ruonan is a decisive person. Now that everything is ready, she can't wait to arrange everything.
After much searching, I finally found a relatively affordable and high-quality decoration company. I explained my intentions to the decorator and paid the deposit.
Liu Ruonan agreed with the decorator that they should decorate the room in the backyard first because they were anxious to move in.
After all the matters were settled, it was already dark.
Gao Shanshan hadn't had lunch yet and her stomach was growling with hunger.
Liu Ruonan wanted to treat the brother and sister to a meal, a treat for their hard work. But they both disliked eating out, saying it would just be some stir-fried dishes, something they could easily eat at home. Finally, after some discussion, they decided to go for wontons.
Gao Shanshan had never eaten wontons, but she had heard from some of her classmates that they were delicious. However, the wontons in the city seemed different from what her classmates had described. The wontons here came with a variety of fillings, and there were many choices.
Liu Ruonan ordered three bowls of wontons and some Shanghainese pan-fried dumplings. Chen Lei was a big guy with a big appetite, so he ate a lot.
The food here was very appetizing. The brother and sister ate until their stomachs were full. At the end, they burped several times in succession, and then the three of them took a leisurely walk back to the hotel.
