Chapter 355 Rent Increase



Lian Rongrong watched Jiang Yue change her clothes and come out of the room. She asked in surprise, "What kind of pants are these? They are so tight on the top and the legs are too big!"

"These are called bell-bottom pants, and they are very popular abroad!" Jiang Yue turned around and asked Lian Rongrong, "What do you think of my top?"

"Well, it looks good on you!" Lian Rongrong touched Jiang Yue's black top, which was made of knitted material, "But why are the sleeves so wide?"

"This is called a bat shirt, and it's also popular abroad!" Jiang Yue said with a smile.

"Jiang Yue, are you planning to sell clothes of this style?" Lian Rongrong asked.

"Yes! I have imported a lot of goods this time, and they are on the way. When they arrive, we will start to launch new products!" Jiang Yue recalled the homework he did when making short videos on period clothing. In October of 1977 and 1988, bell-bottom pants became popular, and the opportunity was the release of the two movies "Little Days".

The male protagonist in the movie wore bell-bottom pants. At that time, these two movies were very popular in China, and the clothing styles in them also became a trend.

She wants to seize this business opportunity while no one knows that bell-bottom pants will become popular.

Lian Rongrong believed in Jiang Yue's vision a hundred thousand times and naturally had no objection. As long as Jiang Yue said so, she would do it!

"Rongrong, I will have some cloth coming over in a few days. We need to rent another warehouse to store it!" Jiang Yue remembered what her mother-in-law said to her before she went back. Calculating the time, it would take at most ten days or half a month for the cloth she wanted to be delivered. By then, she would have to find a place to store it first, and then send it to be processed into garments after contacting the factory.

"By the way, Jiang Yue, I have something to tell you. The landlord of the storefront we rented is going to raise the rent!"

"How much increase does he want?" Jiang Yue asked.

"He wants twenty yuan a month!" Lian Rongrong said angrily, "And that's the price for one room!"

"So much increase?" Jiang Yue frowned. "When I rented it, the two rooms together only cost six dollars!"

"I guess he asked for a lot because he saw that our business was good!" Lian Rongrong said, "You paid three months' rent at the beginning. He came to collect the rent last month. After I paid him, he said that the 18 yuan was only for this month. From next month on, we have to pay 20 yuan per room, otherwise he would not rent to us!"

Jiang Yue sneered, "A shabby house costs twenty yuan a month in rent, and he dares to ask for it!"

"Don't worry about him. If he comes again, just stay calm. I'll find a new house before the end of the month. I want to see who else will rent his crappy house besides us!"

Lian Rongrong smiled, "I thought so too!"

When Gu Ye came back at noon, Jiang Yue told him about this matter, "There are many houses on this street, and the location is much better than his place! He wants to raise the price because he sees that our business is good. I wouldn't say anything if he raised it by three or two yuan, but now he wants twenty yuan, and it's just one storefront. Two stores would cost forty yuan a month. This is not the way to rob people!"

Gu Ye asked: "So are you planning to find a new house now?"

Jiang Yue said, "Yes! But time is tight. We have to get the store ready in the next few days before the goods arrive. We will start selling new goods at the end of October!"

Gu Ye brought out all the dishes, and after hearing this, he paused for a moment and said, "Leave this matter to me, and you just focus on your work!"

When Jiang Yue heard Gu Ye wanted to help, she happily stood on tiptoe, put her arms around his neck and kissed him.

"That's it?" Gu Ye was dissatisfied and hugged Jiang Yue for a kiss.

"Let's eat first. I'll let Ningning go to my sister-in-law's house to play later, and then I'll reward you well!" Jiang Yue smiled.

Gu Ye was overjoyed when he heard this, and he called Ningning very actively: "Come out for dinner! After dinner, Ningning, go play with Zhao Yuanqi for a while, no, play for a while longer. By the way, didn’t mom bring a lot of delicious food? Ningning, can you bring it to share with Zhao Yuanqi?"

Jiang Yue: “…”

She lowered her voice and said to Gu Ye: "Don't say that to Ningning, be careful that Ningning will rebel! If you let her play for a little longer, she will come back to see what you are doing!"

Gu Ye also lowered his voice: "Then how should I say it?"

Jiang Yue glanced at Gu Ye, turned around and went into the house, and took out a storybook. "Ningning, this is the new book your mother bought for you. Zhao Yuanqi doesn't know as many words as you do. You can go and read it with Zhao Yuanqi later, tell him the story, and be his little teacher to teach him how to read, okay?"

Sure enough, when Ning Ning heard that she was asked to be Zhao Yuanqi's little teacher, she immediately agreed with bright eyes, "Okay, Mom!"

At noon, Jiang Yue made stir-fried cauliflower and pork slices, braised pork belly, and tomato and egg soup. Mrs. Zhao gave her some pickled cowpeas, which Jiang Yue washed and chopped, and it also counted as a dish.

After dinner, Gu Ye actively went to wash the dishes, while frantically winking at Jiang Yue, asking Jiang Yue to coax Ningning to go out and play.

Jiang Yue pretended not to see it. After cleaning the table, she took Ningning to sit under the osmanthus tree.

It rained from last night until this morning and didn't stop until ten o'clock. It suddenly cleared up at noon.

The weather is very good now, neither too cold nor too hot. Although Jiang Yue did not catch up with the peak flowering period of osmanthus, she found that some osmanthus flowers were blooming again in the big osmanthus tree today.

At this time, the warm autumn sun shone through the gaps in the leaves of the osmanthus trees, and the fragrance of osmanthus drifted in the air. Jiang Yue opened the storybook and told Ningning the adventures of Little Cloth Doll.

Gu Ye looked back and saw this scene: the gentle and slender woman and the cute little girl leaning against each other, it was an extremely heartwarming picture.

"Okay, what will happen to the little cloth doll next? It's up to Ningning to find out by herself." Jiang Yue talked about two pages, then closed the book and handed it to Ningning.

Ningning blinked her big eyes, "Mom, I'm going to find brother Zhao Yuanqi. He doesn't know as many words as I do. I'm going to tell him a story!"

Watching Ningning skipping out of the door, Gu Ye walked to Jiang Yue and hugged her from behind. The pleasant scent enveloped Jiang Yue. Jiang Yue looked at him, and their eyes were entangled for a moment. Gu Ye picked up Jiang Yue sideways and kissed her gently. He held Jiang Yue's pink lips and kissed her gently.

"Lock the door first!" Jiang Yue reminded Gu Ye.

Gu Ye carried Jiang Yue all the way back to the room. Not long after, a faint moaning sound came from the room...

In the afternoon, Jiang Yue took a nap, and after getting up, he took Ningning to the county town.

When she arrived at the clothing store, she found that the layout had changed a little, and there was one more person, Yang Cuiling.

"Sister Jiang Yue, you're back!" Yang Cuiling was very happy to see Jiang Yue and held her tightly.

Jiang Yue also learned that it was because the long-sleeved autumn T-shirts were almost sold out, so Lian Rongrong took the initiative to call Yang Cuiling over to start the customized clothing business. Since she had accumulated a lot of old customers before, some customers were still very creative and told Lian Rongrong their requirements, and Lian Rongrong made them accordingly, which were really good.

"Great!" Jiang Yue couldn't help but give a thumbs up as she looked at the clothes designed by Lian Rongrong according to the customer's requirements.

"Jiang Yue, the landlord came again at noon, urging us to pay the rent. I asked him to wait as you said." Lian Rongrong pulled Jiang Yue aside and whispered.
