I gathered my thoughts and replied, "I used these shops as temporary inns before, so you can invest a little more in the renovations and continue... That way you won't need to entrust these shops to our studio, and you'll be completely self-reliant... Our studio won't have to worry about your shops sitting there abandoned, affecting the image of the entire commercial street. Isn't that killing two birds with one stone?"
Cao Xiaobei thought for a moment and said, "It seems to make sense, but can you make money running an inn on this commercial street?"
"I've already made my money... and the summer peak season is just around the corner. If you upgrade the renovation, it would be a lie to say you won't make any money!"
Cao Xiaobei seemed to be pondering something to himself...
I said to him again, "But before that, there's something we need to confirm. Can you really just use these 16 shops as you please? ... You should know about the conflict between your father and me, and these shops are the root of our conflict."
I stared at Cao Xiaobei, keeping track of his answer in my mind; and the reason I suggested that he run the inn himself was also based on this consideration. If Cao Xiaobei was running it, Cao Jinbo would never scheme against his own son, and our commercial street would be at peace.
To be honest, compared to making money from these 16 shops, I really care more about the stability of the entire commercial street!
Cao Xiaobei also took out a cigarette from the cigarette box, lit it, took a puff, and then replied, "The keys to these shops were actually given to you by my dad."
I was shocked, and after a long while I asked, "You're not kidding me, are you...? Your dad would never let me use these shops."
"Why can't you use it?"
I replied firmly, "He didn't get any benefit from the Cangshan Villa project. He's too busy causing trouble for me to be kind enough to let me use these shops."
Cao Xiaobei looked at me in surprise and said, "My dad has already invested 30% in the Cangshan Villa project... In addition, the land that my dad's paper mill occupies has also been put up for development in cooperation with Binjiang Group, which is your girlfriend's family business... They signed a contract later, you didn't know that, did you?"
I was utterly shocked... and then I wondered to myself: what exactly is going on?
If what Cao Xiaobei said is true, then my previous ideas were indeed taken by Cao Jinbo and Binjiang Group... Since Cao Jinbo has already reached a cooperation agreement with Binjiang Group, there is naturally no reason for him to make things difficult for me in these shops in Jiulongju.
But Ye Zhi is indeed gone. So who is behind this? To chat with more like-minded people about "My Tenant Miss," follow "or" on WeChat to discuss your favorite books.
