Xia Jin figured that even though she couldn't move away from the house, it would be better to transfer ownership early for peace of mind. Besides, Xia Jin had to go to school and didn't have much time. She also wanted to open the store sooner rather than later, as that would require renovations and hiring. It was better to buy and start early.
Lao Lin said, "Okay, wait a minute, I'll go find someone." After that, Xia Jin watched him run out.
Xia Jin waited in the room for a while. Then Lao Lin walked in, bringing the chubby, cheerful man Xia Jin had met yesterday. Lao Lin introduced him to Xia Jin, saying, "Liu Peng also runs a small grocery store on this street. We all call him Lao Liu."
Xia Jin smiled and said, "Hello, Uncle Liu."
Uncle Lin said, "Old Liu, we two are going to transfer the property. Could you please be our guarantor?"
Liu Peng said, "Okay, okay."
Xia Jin counted out a thousand yuan from her bag and gave it to Lao Lin as a deposit. Then the group went to the Housing Management Office to go through the transfer procedures, but in the name of a gift.
The staff also understand the twists and turns involved, but now it is like this, everyone knows what is going on. There are policies from the top and countermeasures from the bottom. Besides, the policy does not explicitly prohibit it, so there is no problem.
Xia Jin paid a few dollars for the handling fee; since he had already bought the house, it didn't matter. The formalities were quickly completed, and as they left, Xia Jin handed the remaining fifteen hundred yuan to Lao Lin.
Lao Lin took the money and handed the keys to Xia Jin, saying, "It's yours now. I've given you the keys. If you're still worried, change the lock."
Xia Jin said, "Okay, I understand."
Xia Jin said awkwardly, "I want to ask, do you know any decorators? I'm planning to redecorate this shop."
Liu Peng said, "Let's get acquainted. Let me ask him if he's free first, and then I'll introduce you. Come to me this afternoon, and I'll tell you for sure."
Xia Jin asked, "That's great. Fortunately, I know someone there, otherwise I would have to look for it myself."
Lao Lin said, "You don't have to thank him. The one doing the renovations is his brother-in-law. This is a gift to them."
Xia Jin smiled and said, "Anyway, I'm sorry to bother you today, Uncle Liu. I'll treat you to a meal when my shop opens."
Liu Peng said, "That's great. Old Liu, I don't have any other hobbies in my life except eating. I'll be waiting for your meal."
After saying goodbye to the two of them, Xia Jin went to buy a lock and replaced the lock on the shop. Xia Jin also went to the bank to open an account and deposited 50,000 yuan. Otherwise, every transaction would be a little unsafe, so he would just keep the money in the bank and go directly to the bank next time.
However, maybe Xia Jin had saved a lot of money, so the staff looked at her several times. Fortunately, Xia Jin had been tempered by the spiritual spring, and her whole body had an aura of being pampered, making her look like a lady from some family. The clothes she wore were also acceptable, so the staff just looked at her twice more, thinking that she was a lady from some family, and did not doubt it too much.
As Xia Jin hurried home, he thought about decorating his new house. In his previous life, after his death, his soul had followed Xia Qingqing and seen many restaurants decorated in later times. Xia Jin decided to follow the example of later times. He would choose his own dishes, but the price would be determined by weight and per string. After choosing, the dishes would be prepared in the kitchen. He also wanted to divide the restaurant into two areas, separated by a cash register.
In the afternoon, when Xia Jin went to the suburbs, she thought that she couldn't run back and forth on her own all day, so she decided to buy a bicycle when she returned. It would be more convenient to have a car.
Xia Jin went to the suburbs, originally planning to rent a warehouse or an unoccupied house to receive the large agricultural machinery she had purchased. However, perhaps because Xia Jin was young and seemed to know nothing, they either asked for too high a price or made unreasonable demands, forcing Xia Jin to postpone her purchase.
Fortunately, Uncle Liu brought Xia Jin some good news. Xia Jin rushed to the door of the house he had bought at the agreed time. Across the street, Xia Jin saw Uncle Liu and a tall young man waiting at the door of his shop. Xia Jin hurried across the street and said, "Uncle Liu, have you been waiting long?"
Uncle Liu saw Xia Jin coming over and said, "No, we just got here too. Let me introduce you, this is my brother-in-law Tian Hao. He now has a decoration team under him."
"This is the owner of this store, Xia Jin. She is the one who asked you to decorate it."
Xia Jin said, "Hello, Boss Tian."
Tian Hao said, "Hello, Boss Xia. Don't call me Boss anymore, just call me Brother Tian."
Xia Jin said, "Okay, okay, just call me Xiao Xia. Brother Tian, let's go in and talk." Xia Jin took the key to open the door. After unlocking it, Xia Jin pushed the door open and said, "Come in and talk."
After Xia Jin entered, he said, "There's not much room to sit here. Please stand for a moment. We'll try to finish this quickly."
Tian Hao said, "It's okay, it's okay. Then, Xiao Xia, tell me what you want from the renovation of this house."
Xia Jin said, "I'm going to open this restaurant for food. It needs to be separated in the middle. The kitchen is inside and the diners eat outside. The kitchen door is in the front. Please build me a counter so I can be the cashier. I don't have any other requirements, just quick. I need it urgently."
Tian Hao said, "How big should the kitchen be?"
Xia Jin said, "A quarter will be enough. Paint all the walls white and lay white tiles on the floor. How long will it take to finish it?"
Tian Hao said, "About twenty days. The price you mentioned might be a bit high, but of course most of it is for materials."
Xia Jin said, "It's okay, the money is easy to talk about. I'll let you buy the materials. I'm usually busy and don't have time, so just finish it quickly."
Tian Hao said, "Okay, I understand. We'll need to collect a deposit from you first, and we won't advance the material costs."
Xia Jin asked, "How much do you charge per day? What's the deposit?"
Tian Hao said, "We have a small renovation team, so it's thirty a day, and you can just give me a hundred as a deposit."
Xia Jin took out 500 yuan from her bag and handed it to Tian Hao, saying, "Brother Tian, this is a 100 yuan deposit, and the rest is for material costs."
Tian Hao said, "Okay, then let's find a place to sign the contract. After we sign the contract, we can start work tomorrow. We don't have to worry about you laughing at us for being stood up by our employer. The team hasn't started work for half a month."
Xia Jin said, "Okay, let's sign the contract first. I have no objection to starting work as soon as possible. By the way, if you do a good job this time, maybe I'll come to you for work next time."
Tian Hao said: "Don't worry, we will do our best."
After Xia Jin finished writing the contract, he handed it to Tian Hao and said, "Do you think there is anything you want to improve?"
