Ren Surong and Jia Xiaomin's eyes lit up when they heard this. The TV, refrigerator, and washing machine together would cost at least 10,000 yuan at the lowest price. Plus, one square meter was 20 yuan cheaper, so a storefront would cost 3,200 yuan cheaper. This was a great deal!
Ren Surong and Jia Xiaomin looked at each other, and it was Ren Surong who spoke to Liu Bo.
"Manager Liu, it's not bad, but please wait a moment. Xiao Jia's husband will be here soon. We can discuss it then!"
"Sure sis, don't worry!"
As soon as Liu Bo heard Ren Surong's words, he realized that there was hope for today's incident, and he felt relieved. He handed Comrade Lao Du another cigarette.
After waiting for more than half an hour, a police car stopped outside the shop. Lao Ding got out of the police car, said a few words to the driver, and the police car left.
"Wife, why are you calling me here in such a hurry?"
"Come here!"
Jia Xiaomin pulled Lao Ding aside and told him what had happened.
"The price is okay. Let's see if Lao Du and the others will buy it. We should follow what Lao Du does!"
Old Ding thought for a moment and said to Jia Xiaomin.
"If I don't have enough money, I'll find a way. Borrowing from colleagues and friends will also be enough!"
"Okay then, let's see what Sister Ren does later!"
Seeing that Lao Ding had no objection, Jia Xiaomin felt relieved. She had realized in the past two years that it would not be possible to make ends meet relying solely on her and Lao Ding's meager salaries. So when this opportunity came up, and Lao Du's family was willing to take her out to play, she also wanted to get a piece of the pie.
"Lao Du, we'll follow you. We'll do whatever you do!"
Lao Ding walked up to Comrade Lao Du and said to him.
"Wife, Manager Liu, let's go! Let's eat first and talk while we eat!"
Comrade Lao Du breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Lao Ding was also willing to work together, and invited everyone to go eat first.
At lunch, no one drank, as Lao Du had to drive that afternoon and go to the bank to get a loan approved. After a busy afternoon, he finally got all the paperwork done and just waited for the loan to be approved.
On the way home in the evening, Ren Suyun asked Du Chen's mother.
"Sister, you bought two storefronts at once. What if you can't rent them out in the future? Besides, it will take more than 100,000 yuan to earn back that much money?"
"Suyun, don't worry. I have a shop that I plan to use for myself. Besides, most of the money is a loan, so it won't have any impact."
Du Chen's mother explained the ins and outs of it to her sister in detail, and Ren Suyun's eyes lit up with surprise.
"Suyun, if you believe me, buy a house or a storefront if you have the money. With the current trend, you will definitely not lose money, and you might even make some money!"
Du Chen's mother said to Ren Suyun confidently.
"By the way, Suyun, we might go to Guangzhou in a few days. I'll take Yueyue with me then. I wanted to tell you first!"
Du Chen's mother suddenly remembered that they were going to Guangzhou in a few days, so she told Ren Suyun.
"Yangcheng? It's so far away, sister, why are you going there?"
Ren Suyun couldn't understand her sister anymore. She changed so much every time they met.
"Your brother-in-law has a comrade in Guangzhou. Let's go for a tour and see if there are any business opportunities. After all, we can't just leave the shop empty now that we've bought it, so let's go for a look."
"Sister, let me take Yueyue back home before you go, so you don't have to worry about her."
"Yueyue, do you want to go on a trip with your aunt?"
Du Chen's mother ignored Ren Suyun's words and asked Gu Yue instead.
"Auntie, I want to! But I have to ask my mom and get her approval."
Looking at Gu Yue's serious answer, Du Chen's mother was full of envy. She liked little girls, but unfortunately Du Chen was a boy.
Du Chen glanced at his mother with a sense of apprehension, and a shudder ran down his spine. He couldn't forget the fear of being dominated by her as a child; wearing women's clothing was a lingering nightmare. Even after this rebirth, he hadn't escaped the fate of pigtails and skirts, no matter how much he resisted. Now, looking at his mother with shining eyes, he recalled the unbearable memories of his childhood.
"Suyun, you've seen it too. Yueyue wants to go out too. You won't be able to take care of her if you take her home. Why don't you go out and play with me?"
"It's mainly because I'm bothering you guys so much, sister. Every summer vacation I feel embarrassed to send Yueyue here, and you take her out to play, and there are places to spend money everywhere..."
"It's okay, Suyun. Yueyue is also obedient. We don't need to worry about her. It's just right that more children will make things more lively, and a child can save a lot of money! Listen to your sister, and Yueyue will go out and play with us when the time comes!"
Comrade Lao Du, who was driving, also spoke up and said that he also liked the lively atmosphere of many people.
…
"Have you packed everything? We're leaving soon! Carry your own bags and follow me one by one. The train station is crowded and we won't be able to find you if you get lost!"
"Du Bin, you and Miao Miao should keep an eye on your younger siblings!"
As soon as they got up in the morning, Comrade Lao Du began to instruct Du Bin and Du Chen that they were going to travel to Guangzhou today. Lao Ding also took a week's vacation. The two families, plus Gu Yue, took the train to Guangzhou.
Du Chen felt a little headache when he thought about the two days and two nights it would take for the green train. It was too long, but there was no other way. Yuncheng didn't have an airport and he couldn't afford to take a plane. The high-speed rail was still too early, and driving was a bit dangerous, so he could only rely on the green train to travel.
What comforted Du Chen, however, was that Lao Du had bought a sleeper ticket through the Mi-section. Even though it was a hard sleeper, it would still be a bit more comfortable, right? Working in the railway system only had this little bit of convenience.
Du Bin and Gu Yue happily checked their schoolbags again, and Du Chen watched them busying themselves.
"Chenchen, why don't you pack your things? Hurry up and pack your things, then we'll leave!"
Du Bin looked at Du Chen standing there lazily and hurriedly urged Du Chen.
"Brother, I'm ready and waiting for you!"
"Really? Then I don't care about you anymore!"
Du Bin asked Du Chen doubtfully, but then he gave up asking Du Chen and went to pack his things excitedly.
Du Chen didn't plan to bring anything with him, just a few sets of underwear and short-sleeved shirts. Guangzhou has been extremely hot in the past few months, so some spare clothes would be enough. Du Chen also carried his camera, some batteries and film, ready to take some photos on the way. He could buy the rest when he arrived in Guangzhou. He just needed to bring money with him.
"Are you guys packed? If you're ready, let's go!"
Ren Surong shouted at Sanxiao in the big house.
"Okay, Mom!"
