Xu Milu rented the warehouse this time, and it's no surprise that Zhang Mengmeng had done a lot of favors for her. So Xu Milu specially prepared two boxes of ping-pong grapes and egg cherries.
The city of Sichuan and Chongqing is large enough that there are at least two hours' drive between the districts. The warehouse that Zhang Mengmeng's uncle, Zhao Jin, contacted was in the suburbs. It used to be a warehouse for a logistics company, but it was empty now. Although it was a bit remote, it was very convenient for shipping.
...
...
Xu Milu looked the warehouse in front of her up and down. Although it had been empty for a long time, it still looked very clean, as if someone had cleaned it.
At 0.3 yuan/㎡ per day, with a land area of 1000㎡, the monthly rent would be 9000 yuan, which is quite a bargain.
"How about it? This warehouse is a really good deal at this price. If I give you any more discounts, I'll be losing money."
Seeing that she was very satisfied with the place, Zhao Jin couldn't help but smile broadly.
He acquired this warehouse from a friend, but the location was too remote, far from the city center, and the area was not large. Some large logistics companies were unwilling to rent it because of its small size, while individuals were also reluctant to rent it because of its remoteness. It was not easy for him to find someone willing to rent it, and he was willing to accept a lower rent.
Zhang Mengmeng, however, was not satisfied and started to whine and cling to Zhao Jinjin's arm:
"Uncle, you have to give us rice a discount! Rice is starting her own business before she even graduated. Let's support college students starting their own businesses."
Zhao Jin was covered in sweat:
"Oh, my little darling, this is the lowest price I can offer. Go look around outside, other people in this area with this size of warehouse would charge 9,000 yuan a month, you couldn't find one even with a lantern! I can't go any lower, but how about this, for your sake, I'll leave you the electric tricycle in this warehouse, it's 80% new, it'll be convenient for you, right?"
Xu Milu looked over and found that it was a large-capacity electric tricycle, a brand-name product. Although it was a bit old, it was still usable.
"Uncle, then it's settled. Is WeChat transfer okay? Let's add each other on WeChat so it'll be easier to keep in touch later."
Since the other party was straightforward, Xu Milu didn't argue either and made the decision right away.
Xu Milu only had 40,000 yuan on hand, but she still rented for three months straight. After paying the deposit, she only had 10,000 yuan left.
Although it hurt to spend the money, Xu Milu knew it was worth it.
Having a large space makes it easier for her to move around. Firstly, it frees up storage compartments, giving her a source for the fruit she has. Secondly, she can enter other worlds from here, providing double protection.
Zhao Jin's expression relaxed, and he smiled broadly:
"Okay, here are the warehouse keys, two in total, both are here. Have you found a driver yet? If you don't know any drivers, I have a few here, all trustworthy, reliable for both out-of-town and city trips, and their prices are fair. Haha, I know them all, so you can use them without worry. I didn't bring any business cards this time, but I'll recommend them to you on WeChat."
Zhao Jin had done a clean and efficient business deal and was quite happy.
He also considered that Xu Milu was his niece's roommate, so he was happy to do her a favor and introduced several of his former drivers to her.
Business is about give and take, so Xu Milu certainly wouldn't push her luck any further. She smiled and said:
"Thank you so much, Uncle. How about I treat you to a meal later? There's a really famous private restaurant near our school."
"No, Da Mi! My uncle made money today, how can I let you treat us? He has to treat us today! Uncle, I want to eat the braised noodles at that farmhouse restaurant, that one, please! Let's go, let's go!!!"
Zhang Mengmeng pleaded and begged, and Zhao Jin had no choice but to surrender. He had no choice; his sister only had this one daughter, and if he dared not agree, he would be severely punished when he returned home.
In the end, Zhao Jin treated them to a meal at his private kitchen. After the meal, he even drove the two of them to school.
Xu Milu felt embarrassed, so she carried a box of ping-pong grapes and a box of eggs and cherries from the school gatehouse to Zhao Jin—she was afraid that others would notice, so she made up an excuse to send them to the school via same-city express from elsewhere.
Zhao Jin didn't refuse and happily packed up and left. But he was satisfied. He had thought that college students who had just graduated would be a little lacking in social skills, but he didn't expect him to be so sensible.
...
...
"Wow! Rice, when did you buy these grapes?! They're huge! Wow, they're so juicy!"
Zhang Mengmeng was captivated by the juiciness of the Ping Pong grapes after just one bite, and couldn't stop eating them one after another.
"Can't you go back to your dorm to eat?"
Xu Milu complained while carrying two boxes of fruit. Seeing Zhang Mengmeng struggling to peel grapes with the other hand while carrying a bag in one hand, Xu Milu felt sorry for her and casually threw Zhang Mengmeng's bag on the boxes.
A thin, frail girl carrying two boxes of fruit looked rather startling, drawing stares from passersby.
Zhang Mengmeng chuckled:
"Your eldest and second eldest don't know you're back yet, do they? They're still at the library and won't be back until tonight. I'm going to send them pictures to make them drool, hahaha."
When they arrived at the dormitory, there was indeed no one there. Sun Qiqi posted a picture in the group chat, and someone responded very quickly.
[I'm the girl who picks her toes] (Zhang Mengmeng): Look!! Dami brought back super delicious grapes!! And cherries too!! (Pictures) (Pictures)
The picture shows a grape that has been bitten open, revealing its pale purple, translucent flesh with a wonderful jelly-like texture. Just by looking at the picture, you can feel its moisture and taste.
[Silly Girl #1] (Sun Ying): Aaaaaaah!! I want to eat!! Save some for me!! I want to eat!! I'll be right back to eat!!!
【DaDaMiao】(PangLi): DaMi is back? You guys are going too far! It's one thing to eat, but to post pictures of it too.
【Big Meow】(Pang Li): Are those grapes? Why are they so big? ???
【Silly Girl No. 1】(Sun Ying): ? ? ?
【Silly Girl #1】(Sun Ying): I understand the logic, but why is this cherry so big??? Does this make sense?!
Zhang Mengmeng watched the two people wailing in the group chat and couldn't help but reveal a wicked smile:
"Hehehe, these grapes are so delicious, how could only our dorm know? Watch me expose them!!!"
He immediately posted the picture on his WeChat Moments, and as expected, he received a barrage of wailing, envy, and jealousy.
Xu Milu remained calm, but couldn't help but sigh as she recalled the wonderful taste of deep-fried dandelions.
The most tormenting thing in life is not discovering delicious food, but having no way to share it with others.
It's so lonely, like snow.
I'd rather bear this pain myself.
