For this tour guide job, Song Lili not only received generous compensation but also high praise from the professor.
When the new week started, the professor called Song Lili into his office and said, "You did very well this time."
"It's not just your four American friends who are satisfied with you, but also the people accompanying you here are very satisfied with you."
"They said that if something like this happens again, they'll come after you again. You've made a good start this time, and in the future, you'll be able to get more opportunities for your job."
"I knew I misjudged you." The professor patted Song Lili on the shoulder, his face full of relief.
Song Lili smiled and said, "I have to thank you, Professor. Without you, I wouldn't have had this opportunity."
"Without your help, I probably wouldn't have been able to do it, so I still want to thank you, Professor," Song Lili quickly said.
And what she said was true; without this professor, she would never have had such an opportunity.
As for the job opportunities the professor mentioned, she had never thought about them or paid any attention to them.
After all, what she's always wanted to do is make money, and of course, she'll go into business in the future.
What satisfied her most this time was the very generous reward.
This time, Song Lili received a reward of three hundred yuan, which was quite a large sum of money.
With what she's earned recently, she already has enough capital to open her shop.
Therefore, this is what makes her happiest.
After leaving the professor's office, Song Lili went to the classroom, planning in her mind to go out and see which of those people had shops for sale in the next few days.
It would be even better if it were near a school.
At noon, Song Lili's family, Liang Yulin, and Wang Mei ate together.
"I heard you did well this time; the professor even praised you in class," Liang Yulin said while eating.
"How come I didn't know?" Song Lili blinked.
"You were with those Americans the past few days, so of course you didn't know."
Song Lili suddenly realized why; she had said she had never heard such a thing before.
Wang Mei also said, "The professor said your pronunciation is very good and your oral expression is also good. He told us all to learn from you."
Song Lili was truly blushing with embarrassment. With her mediocre skills, how could she possibly learn from her? Wouldn't that be misleading and harmful to others?
"Forget it. If you learn from me, I reckon the teachers will be driven crazy." After all, she's not going to work in this field anymore.
If she sets a bad example, wouldn't the teacher punish her?
Therefore, it is not allowed, it is not allowed.
Song Lili's life returned to its former tranquility once again.
I attend classes and study during the week, and set up a stall on weekends to earn money.
She has been keeping an eye out for shops for sale, but has had to put that on hold because she's been too busy.
Finally, when it came out unintentionally, Liang Yulin told her some good news.
"Are you looking for a shop? Are you looking to rent or buy? There's a shop for sale at the entrance of the alley next to our school; it was posted yesterday."
This is because Liang Yulin happened to see someone posting a notice for sale outside when he was out shopping with his friends, which is why he remembered it.
Unexpectedly, Song Lili said she wanted to find a shop today.
"Is it the alley where they sell steamed buns and fried dough sticks at the entrance?" Song Lili stared intently at Liang Yulin, afraid that she was lying to her.
Liang Yulin nodded, "Yes, that's the one."
Song Lili was truly excited now.
She knew that alley; it was right next to the main entrance of the school.
If what Liang Yulin said is true, that would be wonderful.
There it is, right at the school gate. The foot traffic must be huge; opening a shop there is definitely prime real estate.
"Where is it? Take me there right away." Song Lili grabbed Liang Yulin, abandoning her afternoon nap, eager to go and see.
The location is so good. There must be a lot of people wanting it, so we have to secure it as soon as possible, otherwise it will be gone.
"Hey, slow down, I can't run anymore," Liang Yulin shouted as he was pulled along by Song Lili.
However, she wasn't as strong as Song Lili, so she could only be pulled by Song Lili as they ran out of the school gate.
"Where is the shop you mentioned?" Song Lili asked Liang Yulin anxiously.
"Let me go first." Liang Yulin gasped for breath, glaring at Song Lili with annoyance.
This person is really something else, running so fast, she's almost exhausted!
"Okay, I'll let you go now. Tell me quickly, where is it?" Song Lili was anxious. She looked around but couldn't see any signs saying "For Sale".
“Look, isn’t that it?” Liang Yulin held up his index finger, pointed to the right front, and rolled his eyes.
Song Lili looked over, but still couldn't see it. "Where? I can't see it?"
"There, right there on the door frame, a little bit of white, see? That's it," Liang Yulin said, pointing to the doorway.
As Song Lili approached, she saw a piece of paper, about three fingers wide, pasted on the door frame of the shop, which read "Shop for Sale".
Song Lili: "..." How could anyone see such a small child?
Does the owner of this shop really want to sell?
But upon closer inspection, it does indeed say the shop is for sale.
Song Lili couldn't understand it, but as long as the news was true, that was enough.
Song Lili was even more satisfied that the shop was located at the entrance of the alley, not inside.
Song Lili went inside and found that it was a tea shop. No wonder it was for sale.
Tea is something that very few people drink nowadays, and it's even less likely that students would drink it.
People are still in the stage of pursuing basic needs like food and clothing, and haven't reached the stage of pursuing enjoyment yet.
Therefore, it's normal that this shop has no business and can't stay open.
"Boss," Song Lili called out.
"Hello, young lady, are you buying tea?" A man in his thirties came out. He had a round face, and his smile resembled that of Maitreya Buddha. His eyes were almost invisible.
"I'm not buying tea. I just saw your shop sign outside and came in to take a look." Song Lili didn't beat around the bush and stated her purpose directly.
"You want to buy it?" The man looked at Song Lili suspiciously.
Song Lili nodded, "Yes, I am interested, so how much do you want for this shop, boss?"
"Five hundred," the shopkeeper said, holding up five fingers.
Five hundred? Isn't that a bit cheap?
For a moment, Song Lili wondered if the boss had made a mistake or was just teasing her.
Five hundred? Really?
Seeing that Song Lili didn't speak, the shop owner assumed she was complaining about the price. "Girl, five hundred isn't expensive at all. Go out and ask around; my shop is definitely worth five hundred."
Seeing that Song Lili still didn't speak, he finally asked, "Then tell me, how much can you buy?"
If the price reduction isn't too significant, it's negotiable.
Song Lili finally came to her senses. The shop really was five hundred yuan. She wasn't lying; it was five hundred. She would sell it as long as that was enough.
