Chen Sanye's son is just like his father, an honest and responsible man. He takes care of the old house seriously and responsibly, and nothing has ever happened.
But when Chen San's son became ill and passed the burden to Chen San's grandson Chen Qi, Chen Qi began to make some plans.
Chen Qi had personally watched his grandfather and father take care of the Dong family's old house for so many years. He had long known that the Dong family's descendants had settled abroad and it was absolutely impossible for them to come back to live there.
As for the fact that people are still watching over the old house, it is just to maintain a thought.
Moreover, after so many years, the new residents nearby have no idea who the real owner of the old house is.
Because Chen San's family has always been collecting rent and managing the house, there are still many people who are unaware of the situation and think that the old house belongs to them and treats it as their own.
Gradually, Chen San began to have a feeling that they were the real owners of the old house.
So after Chen Qi's father passed away, he successfully took over the task of looking after the old house.
But gradually, he became dissatisfied with just collecting rent every month.
Thanks to the rent collected over the years, the Chen family also saved some money. Chen Qi's grandfather and father didn't feel comfortable spending this money carelessly, and eventually it was inherited by Chen Qi.
Grandpa and father were embarrassed to spend this money, but Chen Qi was embarrassed to do so.
However, how to spend the money is also a science. If you spend it carelessly, it will definitely not last long. It is best to come up with something that can make money and maximize the value of the money.
Finally, after much deliberation, he decided to do business!
But the shops that the old boss had rented out were already occupied by merchants, and he didn't want to drive them away.
After all, if this happens, wouldn't some rent be lost in vain?
He didn't want to collect less rent, but he also wanted to make money from business.
The best way is to build a new store and let him open the store and do business.
But now almost all the old shops on this street have closed down, so where can he find a new one?
He wasn't particularly familiar with other streets either; the key point was that their customer flow wasn't as good as this street.
The best way to do this is to find a new store on this street.
During that time, he wandered around this street for a long time, and finally found a new "prosperous shop" that could make him rich.
That is the location of the main door of the Dong family’s house!
This place is located in the middle of the street, and the shops on both sides of the left side are also the best business on the street. If you open a store here, at least you will have an innate geographical advantage, which will definitely be a natural help to the success of your business!
The place opposite the main house of the landlord was originally the main gate, but it was destroyed before. Moreover, as some houses on the left and right were divided and the courtyard wall was demolished, the main gate could not be replaced.
Therefore, the gate and door frame at the gate have been demolished long ago, and now there is a vacant lot.
Originally, the vacant lot was reserved so that one could directly walk through the vacant lot and enter the house. Occasionally, Chen San would park his car here.
But now I think, why not make use of this piece of land, build a small house on the vacant land, and then do some simple renovations, wouldn't it be a shop?
Moreover, this shop might actually belong to him, to their Chen family!
No longer have to worry every day, worried that the descendants of the boss will come back and take away everything that does not belong to them!
Thinking of this, Chen Qi became more and more excited.
When he made this decision, the control over illegal buildings was not as strict as it is now.
So Chen Qi found an acquaintance and used some connections, and luckily he built the small house.
After it was built, he didn't dare to make it public.
After all, although most of the residents around here are unaware of the relationship between the Chen family and the Dong family, there are still a few people who know about it.
He was afraid that those who knew the truth would feel dissatisfied and jealous when they saw him building a house on the land in front of his employer's gate.
So when the house was being built, he didn't go to see it himself, but hired someone to supervise the construction.
Even when he wanted to open a store later, when someone came to ask him, he would use the excuse that he had found someone to rent the store himself to prevent future troubles.
I thought that after I opened my shop, the business would be booming and I would make a lot of money.
Who knew that I didn't make much money and was exhausted.
This business was more tiring and tiring than he had imagined.
So not long after Chen Qi opened his store, he wanted to close it.
It's just that I couldn't bear to spend the money I invested in the early stage, so I kept holding on.
Later, he encountered a strange knock on the door in the middle of the night. He was so scared that he didn't care about his previous investment and just closed the door and left.
Then, Mr. and Mrs. Zhang thought they had found a bargain and rented the only empty shop on the street.
After Chen Qi finished telling the story, he couldn't help but take a step back and looked at the old ghost.
"Ghost, Lord Ghost, this is how this shop came about, but I swear, I have never done anything to harm anyone. You must have found the wrong person."
After thinking about it, Chen Qi asked again cautiously.
"You know my grandfather. Are you his friend or a relative of mine?"
The old ghost snorted coldly.
"Relative? I'm your boss's ancestor!"
What? !
The ancestor of the Dong family!!!
Chen Qi reacted quickly and immediately figured out why the old ghost came here by himself and asked him about the things in this store.
So this is the time when people come to settle accounts with him!
Chen Qi immediately became intimidated and apologized quickly.
"Boss, I really didn't mean to do that. I just thought it was a waste to leave this place empty, so I wanted to build a shop and do some business. I really didn't mean to block your way!"
Moreover, he didn't know that the ancestor of this landlord had been dead for many years, and now he would come back.
If he had known that this would happen, he wouldn't have bothered to take advantage of this little bit of money.
The most speechless thing is that he put in so much effort, using connections, renovating the house, and purchasing various items for opening a shop.
I have spent a lot of money, but till now, I haven’t even earned back a penny!
He originally wanted to rely on collecting rent to slowly make some money back.
But given the current situation, it's doubtful whether this shop can be kept.
Lao Gui would not forgive Chen Qi just because he apologized.
Over the years, Chen Qi has made a lot of money by collecting rent from their other houses.
In addition to paying him for the cost of looking after the old house, there was actually quite a bit of money left.
If he continues to work diligently, Lao Gui believes that his descendants will not be stingy with this little money.
But who would have thought that this kid actually had evil intentions in his mind!
The rent is not enough to satisfy him, so he has to build another small house to make extra money?
It’s really greedy!
The old ghost glanced at Chen Qi coldly and spoke to him in a tone that brooked no room for negotiation.
"Please call my descendants later and tell them about this matter. From now on, you will no longer be in charge of any matters concerning my family."
