Chapter 97 Renting a Shop
"Yes, this location is indeed very good."
Except for the fact that the shop is too old and run-down, it is really nice.
"Do you like it? If you like it, take it. You can use this shop as long as you want." Liang Wei waved his hand and made the final decision directly.
“Don’t…”
It's simple now, but it won't be the same once the house is demolished. Of course, she knew that Liang Wei was sincere when he said this, and he really didn't care about the rent of the shop. But she didn't intend to test human nature, because human nature can't stand the test.
"The rent of this shop is what it should be. I will pay every penny, and it will be less stressful for me to live here. Of course, if you want to sell this shop, I can buy it."
"You want to buy it?"
Liang Wei was stunned. He had never thought that Huang Xinran would actually want to buy a shop. But when he thought about the money she got from Sun Ya, he felt it was natural. Yes, the money she had should be enough.
Huang Xinran was also dumbfounded, "Are you willing to sell it?"
This old shop obviously belongs to his ancestors. Would he be willing to sell it?
For a moment, both of them were strangely silent. But soon, they spoke again: "Name a price."
They both paused, then laughed together.
Liang Wei waved his hand again, "This is not the place to talk. Let's go and find a place outside to discuss in detail."
"We can discuss it in detail. There's no need to look for a place that's too far or too remote. It won't be suitable."
Can’t you see that both kids are a little scared?
"Then let's go to the front."
Liang Wei was very easy to talk to. He led them for a while and then they arrived outside a big door.
Huang Xinran didn't recognize it before, but when she looked inside along the gate, she squinted her eyes. Isn't this the site of the later No. 3 Middle School?
It's no wonder she didn't recognize it, because it was actually the current No. 3 Middle School, which was just a small school occupying two small buildings with a playground.
The future No. 3 Middle School has more than doubled in size! No wonder she didn't think of Liang Wei's shop when she first saw it.
Liang Wei led her into the school and chatted with the security guard for a while. It was obvious that he was familiar with the teachers in the school. Soon, he waved to her and led her to the small terrace on the second floor.
"Let's talk here. It's safe here."
There was no place to hide around the terrace. The school was closed today and there was only a security guard and the teacher they met in the school.
"In fact, I don't mind you knowing that the row of shops were originally my family's ancestral property. But later on... some of the shops were sold to other people, and some were rented out. But some people gradually gave up their leases. This is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that there are some problems with the property deeds of the shops..."
Speaking of this, Liang Wei also frowned.
What he said was true. He did have the title deed and land deeds to the shop, but the question was whether they could still be used.
"Well, you go back and wait. If I get any news, I'll come find you."
Liang Wei thought for a moment and said, "If I don't come to see you within seven days, you can just come here. I'll rent this shop to you. As for the rent, you can compare it with the surrounding prices and pay whatever you think is right."
That's more like it.
"Okay! I'll be waiting for your good news!"
Huang Xinran breathed a sigh of relief after finalizing the shop matters. Seeing that it was almost noon, he invited Liang Wei: "It seems that it is getting late. How about we go to a restaurant for a meal? I will treat you!"
"No, no, I have something else to do, so I have to go over. Well, actually you know her too, An Lan asked me to go over and help her with a little thing. There's nothing I can do, it's her cousin who has made me so miserable, he's always caught and forced to do hard labor..." Liang Wei muttered for a long time, his face wrinkled into a bitter one.
Huang Xinran was also amused: "Okay, I'll treat you another day. Also, thank Miss An for taking us in last night."
"Okay, no problem."
As soon as Liang Wei left, Huang Xinran, who had finalized the cooperation matters, happily prepared to return and bring the good news to his elder brother and the others.
Of course, before going back, she went to a nearby department store and bought some small gifts.
She didn't bother to go home first and went straight back to her parents' home.
Upon learning that she had already rented a shop, Liu Zhaodi was so excited that she wanted to go into the city immediately.
Huang Xinran stopped her again: "Don't worry, Mom. The shop will be handed over to me in a few days. You can prepare some things here. There is nothing in the shop. It will probably need to be repainted before people can live in it. In addition, my nephew is too young. He can't live in the shop until it is cleaned up. All these things must be arranged."
"Yes, I had forgotten all about it."
Liu Zhaodi slapped her thigh, no longer in a hurry, and started to make preparations.
Huang Xinran did not have dinner at her mother's house and hurried back to Lu's house.
She didn't come back last night, I'm afraid everyone must be waiting anxiously.
As expected, Lu Tianlei did run to the intersection several times, but he was prepared and not too anxious. When he saw the mother and her two children coming back, his tense face immediately relaxed.
Huang Xinran did not hide the secret from them and talked about the trip to the city: "We rented a shop, but we have to wait a few days with the landlord, as there are still some follow-up matters that have not been dealt with. We can only go to the city in a few days. However, this trip to the city was not smooth, and we encountered many problems..."
Lu Tianlei had a smile on his face originally, but when he heard Huang Xinran talking about how she was bullied and only escaped because of a kind-hearted person who called the police, his face turned dark.
"How dare you rent that shop?!"
"No, no! I rented someone else's shop. You've seen the landlord before, the tall and thin young man who came with Miss Sun... This is his shop. As for the shop of someone who deliberately made things difficult for me, how could I rent it?"
"That's more like it."
Lu Tianlei frowned: "So, my father-in-law and mother-in-law are going to move to the city? Will the shop be livable?"
"From what my mother said, she probably wants my eldest brother and my mother to go to the city first, and after they are settled, she will let my eldest sister-in-law go. After all, she has two children with her... Of course, everything depends on their own wishes."
"Okay, I understand."
Lu Tianlei seemed to want to say something but hesitated several times.
Huang Xinran also understood his thoughts. After thinking for a while, she said, "Although my mother has moved to the city, I don't think she will let go of the business of making and selling clothes for the time being. I plan to design some ready-made clothes in the future and have her make them and sell them in their store. The work of making samples will be left to you, Mom."
Zhang Wenbi was obviously relieved and very happy. However, she did not agree immediately. Instead, she thought about it before saying, "You should discuss this matter with your mother-in-law first."
