Chapter 293 Renting a Shop
Lin Xiaoxia looked at the phone number on the window, wrote it down, and then found a public phone to call the owner to come and see the house.
While waiting for the owner to come, the two of them looked around again. To be honest, they were most satisfied with these two shops.
Of course, the two shops had appointments with the owners at different times, with a half-hour gap in between, so there was no chance of a collision.
Soon the first owner came, opened the door and went in to take a look. The shop was about 150 square meters, only one floor, but very bright.
The rent is 1,800 yuan a year, which Lin Xiaoxia thinks is a good price. Now she just needs to take a look at the other one to see what the price is.
After reading the rent, I said I would go back and discuss it with my family and give him an answer tomorrow.
Then I waited for a while and another homeowner arrived. He went in to take a look and found that the first one was better, so he told him directly that he didn’t like it and there was no need to waste time.
The shop is basically settled. I will pay the rent tomorrow and start decorating it.
Lin Rui said that he had money and didn't need Lin Xiaoxia to rent it for him. When he ran out of money in the future, he promised to ask Lin Xiaoxia for help.
As they were talking, the two of them sat down in a roadside cafe and talked about opening a store.
Lin Xiaoxia said that when it comes to handling the formalities, she will let Sun Qiang take Lin Rui with him, as he is familiar with the process and has great connections.
Afterwards, Lin Xiaoxia took out the product packaging drawings she had drawn and gave them to Lin Rui: "Second brother, take a look at these. These will be used to package the products in your store in the future."
After reading it, Lin Rui exclaimed: "Sister, you are really amazing. This is a great painting."
Lin Xiaoxia smiled and said, "My future sister-in-law is a better painter. She will have to worry about this matter in the future."
Lin Rui scratched his head and said, "I went to her house last night."
Lin Xiaoxia was particularly curious: "How is it? Are their families satisfied with you?"
Lin Rui couldn't close his mouth with a smile: "Satisfied, very satisfied. I said I'll let An Ning come to our house tomorrow, and then find a time for both parents to meet."
Because both sets of parents have jobs and may not have time on weekends, there is no need to go on weekends or in the morning. Both families do not care about these things and both think that good people are better than anything else.
They are a perfect match, and Lin Rui and An Ning are both not young anymore. Before, both families were worried that their children would not find a partner, but now they suddenly found one, and the conditions are so good, so neither family is dissatisfied.
Lin Xiaoxia looked at Lin Rui and said with a smile: "Second brother, can we marry the second sister-in-law this year?"
"It should be possible. Her family is also anxious."
"Okay, second brother, you are fast enough."
"What's the hurry up? We lost the last five years. Oh, and An Ning told me you hired someone to get rid of Zhang Xinxin. Several classmates I haven't been in touch with for a long time have called me these past few days to ask about it."
"Everyone knows who Zhang Xinxin is, right?"
"Well, her reputation is ruined."
"She deserves it."
"There are so many things I have to say thank you to, so I won't say any more, second brother."
"Just don't talk about it. Don't even think about it." Lin Xiaoxia said, "Let's talk about renting the house."
Lin Rui nodded quickly, asked Lin Xiaoxia for two pieces of paper, and took a pen to write down what Lin Xiaoxia said.
The first thing was to decorate it, and then find a place to print and package it, because the goods shipped from Bincheng were not individually packaged. After they arrived, they had to weigh them and then package them.
Another thing is to hire a waiter. Lin Rui has a candidate, his colleague's sister, who was laid off and used to be a salesperson.
Lin Xiaoxia also has some small ideas for promotion, such as shipping some small shells as gifts, which do not need to be specially processed. Shellfish are rarely seen in inland areas these days, so these gifts will be very attractive.
Of course, there are also many people who don’t know how to cook seafood, so you can set up a small pot in the store to demonstrate how to cook it, teach people, or let customers taste it for free.
If I do well in the future, I can find a factory to process canned food, or even open my own factory to process seafood. Of course, these are things for the future. Let's open the store first. Such a store has low costs and is suitable for my second brother and others.
The two talked until four o'clock, then went to An Ning's place, and then An Ning went to the newly opened branch with them to wait for Lu Jingshen.
The reason I eat here is to hear the real feelings of the people eating around me, and to know that the food in my restaurant is indeed delicious.
They didn't ask for a private room, so they sat in the lobby so they could hear more opinions from people around them.
When Lu Jingshen arrived, Lin Xiaoxia had already ordered the dishes and started eating.
After dinner, Lin Xiaoxia and Lu Jingshen said they wanted to stay in the store for a while, so they asked Lin Rui to send An Ning back to give them some time alone.
The two of them stayed here until they got off work before going home. Instead of taking a taxi directly, they walked hand in hand on the street.
The next day, Lin Rui went directly to the landlord to sign a rental contract, paid the money, and rented the house. He waited for Lin Xiaoxia to draw the decoration drawings so that he could hire workers to start construction.
Today was An Ning's first time going to Lin Rui's house. Lin Xiaoxia and Lu Jingshen did not go back to join in the fun because this time An Ning mainly wanted to meet the elders, so they all went back and it became a big gathering.
After the first visit, we can go back together next time to have fun.
The two of them also planned to go to Qingyan County on the weekend to thank Lin Mei and Zhou Yunchao for their great help, and it was time to thank them in person. It had been a long time since they returned to their hometown, so they planned to go back today.
After Lu Jingshen got off work, they drove directly to the hotel and returned to their hometown. They drove back, stayed overnight, and came back the next morning without delaying anything.
Although Sun Qiang said that he would let them drive the car, Lin Xiaoxia and Lu Jingshen were not shallow people. They usually kept the car in the hotel garage and would only use it when needed. Lin Xiaoxia planned to buy a car for herself after the money was distributed at the end of the year. Even if Sun Qiang didn't use the car, he could use it for business. He couldn't keep it for himself. What would happen if that happened?
When we arrived at the hotel, Sun Qiang happened to be there, so we chatted for a while in the office.
Lin Xiaoxia mainly wanted to thank Sanluzi for his help: "Qiangzi, your friend has been a great help this time. You should thank him well. When you are free in a few days, you must prepare a good table to thank him."
Lin Xiaoxia doesn't know much about the current dance halls and can't give people random advice, because there are some gray areas in such places, and she doesn't understand them, so the only thing she can do is treat people to a meal or something.
Sun Qiang said, "Sister-in-law, please don't be polite. This is not a big deal. We are all family. Don't worry too much. There is no need to rush to eat. Wait until you are free. You have a lot of family matters recently. I will treat Sanluzi."
Lu Jingshen said: "Your intention is yours, and we will have to make arrangements when the time comes. But it is indeed as you said. I am a little busy recently, so you should express your gratitude to your family first and tell them that we will remember this kindness."
Sun Qiang smiled and said, "Brother, you and sister-in-law are just overthinking things. You really don't need to worry about this. It's getting late. If you want to go back to your hometown, go back quickly. If it's too late, I won't trust you to drive."
As he spoke, he walked to the front of the cabinet and picked up two boxes: "These are fruits sent by friends. If you hadn't come, I would have sent them to you. It's just right to take them home."
Lin Xiaoxia looked at Sun Qiang with a smile: "We really did eat a lot of your food."
Sun Qiang said, "In the past, when things broke, I didn't know who to give them to. I felt sad. Now when I have something, I think of leaving it for my brother and sister-in-law. This feeling makes me happier than anything else."
Lu Jingshen patted Sun Qiang's shoulder and said, "Then we'll take it." He wanted to say a lot, but he felt that it would be pretentious.
Sun Qiang also smiled and said, "I'll help you get it off."
