Chapter 104 Signing of the Shop Contract for the Second Shop...
Chapter 104
Lin Mujin still signed a contract with Lawyer Li, but it was changed from an agency contract to a shop lease contract.
What was more embarrassing was that she didn't have enough money with her, and two clicks and one press would cost 15,000 yuan.
Lawyer Li generously said that he could wait until the restaurant opened before paying.
Of course Lin Mujin refused. She was not short of money, so it was not worth it to owe anyone a favor.
You know, the debt of favor is the hardest to repay.
"I will deliver the money this afternoon. When can we start the decoration?" Lin Mujin asked.
Lawyer Li thought about it and said, "How about this? We'll start construction at five in the morning. It's not a big project, it can be done in two or three hours. I'll find someone..."
Lin Mujin interrupted, "I'll pay."
Lawyer Li smiled and didn't argue. "Okay. I'll bring someone over tomorrow and do as you ask."
Lin Mujin hurriedly stopped him. "Partitions, wide windows, even installing a range hood are easy, but that glass door needs to be custom-made."
She has to take measurements and then find a professional workshop to customize it, which will take at least two or three days.
Lawyer Li was a little annoyed. He wasn't familiar with renovations and had been a bit idealistic. "Then I'll have the team come back in three days."
Lin Mujin nodded, "Okay. Goodbye, Li Lu."
She held her backpack tightly in one hand, as it contained money and, more importantly, a contract.
He emphasized again, "I will send the money over this afternoon."
Lawyer Li smiled and said, "If I'm not at the law firm, please give the money to my assistant, Emma."
Lin Mujin took note and thought that it must have been Emma who served them tea last time.
Why would a good Chinese person give himself a foreign name? But I also know that this is a popular trend.
Think about those Hong Kong stars in the 1980s and 1990s. Many of them had foreign names.
"OK."
So the two separated, and Lin Mujin took the bus back home.
Locking the money and the contract in the drawer, she took out her passbook and went to the market.
It was still early, perfect free time before lunch.
Cousin Lin and the others were folding oil paper bags while chatting.
Nowadays, many people use oil paper bags to eat oyster omelets, so the consumption has increased a lot.
Fortunately, there are many people in my family, so it is enough for each person to fold some in his spare time.
Except for the slightly increased cost, everything else is fine.
"Uncle, brother, sister."
Lin Mujin looked closely at her cousin Lin, and he seemed to be in good spirits.
Cousin Lin asked, "Why are you here? Have you finished signing?"
Lin Mujin whispered to the three of them, "Let's find a quiet place. We have something to do."
Cousin Lin immediately arranged for Mrs. Luo and her daughter to look after the stall.
Uncle Lin and cousin Lin also got off the food truck quickly.
Lin Mujin understood that the three of them had misunderstood, and she was not in a hurry to explain.
He took the three of them into a secluded ice cream parlor and ordered four cups of milk tea.
Cousin Lin lowered her voice and said, "What happened to my sister? You're driving me crazy."
Lin Mujin smiled and said, "Good news, my brother's matter is settled."
Cousin Lin asked, "Why did you scream?"
Cousin Lin urged, "Sister, please tell me in detail."
Lin Mujin explained in a low voice, "The company withdrew the case. They will no longer sue my brother and have replaced him with someone else. The cause of this incident..."
She glanced at Uncle Lin and spoke a little too quickly.
Uncle Lin snorted, "What are you hiding from me? Is it related to Zhu Rongrong?"
Lin Mujin had an expression that said, "That's not what I said."
Cousin Lin bit her fingers excitedly, "That's great, brother is fine now, right?"
Lin Mujin nodded heavily, "Yes!"
Cousin Lin was about to cry again, and Cousin Lin's eyes were also red.
Uncle Lin was unusually excited and kept saying, "Okay, okay!"
Cousin Lin paused for a moment and asked, "Do you know who framed me?"
Lin Mujin recalled, "Li Lu said his name was Zhang Li, a small leader."
Cousin Lin frowned and said, "I don't know him."
Lin Mujin had no choice but to tell the truth, "Zhu Rongrong's boyfriend, Mr. Li, comes from a very powerful family. He once threatened to make you suffer, but this kind of playful guy is also very forgetful. He recently went on a trip abroad, and someone wanted to get close to him and set you up."
Cousin Lin cursed angrily, "Fuck the shovel!"
Lin Mujin cleared her throat and said, "One more thing. Lawyer Li is the cousin of Mr. Li."
Cousin Lin cursed again, "Fuck!"
Lin Mujin continued, "Lawyer Li and Young Master Li are obviously not the same kind of people. He played a role in the prince's quick resolution of the case this time."
Even if you vent your anger on others, you still have to be reasonable.
Cousin Lin snorted, "Isn't this as it should be? This is all caused by the Li family."
Lin Mujin said something from the heart, "But who among those wealthy families would reason with us ordinary people?"
For a moment, everyone was silent.
This may not sound good, but it is the truth.
It must be uncomfortable to be treated as an ant or a soft persimmon. At this moment, the seed of "wanting to become strong" was planted in everyone's heart.
Lin Mujin took a sip of milk tea to moisten her throat and continued, "Li Lu offered 100,000 yuan in compensation, but I refused!"
Cousin Lin clenched her fist and waved, "That's right! We can't take it! Our family doesn't need that kind of dirty money."
Lin Mujin was a little choked, "Cough cough cough..."
Cousin Lin patted her on the back and said, "You can choke even when drinking milk tea. Drink it slowly."
Lin Mujin quickly grabbed cousin Lin and said, "This hand must have been trained with iron sand palm, it's so powerful."
She quickly said, "I didn't ask for money, I asked for a shop."
Everyone stared at her with wide eyes.
"We have to pay rent, we don't ask for it for free. I want a small shop in a busy street, and most importantly, the Li family needs to be safe." Lin Mujin didn't dare to keep it a secret any longer. "Lawyer Li agreed and recommended a shop near the law firm that's used as a Western restaurant. They can give us a window, about five square meters, and the rent is five thousand a month."
Cousin Lin sipped her milk tea. "Five thousand a month for rent?"
Cousin Lin touched his chin and asked, "Is the location good?"
Lin Mujin nodded. "It's great. There are office buildings all around, so there's guaranteed traffic and high-quality clients. Five thousand yuan in rent isn't a problem."
She was not blind at all and had considered it carefully.
Lin Mujin began to talk about her idea. "Here's what I'm thinking: I'll invest in this shop entirely, including the renovations. I'll also decide what food to sell. I'll own 50 percent, which is half. This shop is to compensate Brother, so he'll own 20 percent, which is 20 percent. The remaining 30 percent is publicly owned. But there's a problem. I want Sister to run it. The main customers there are female white-collar workers, and Brother wouldn't be suitable, so Sister must also own a certain share. But what about the food truck?"
If Cousin Lin is transferred to the Western restaurant, she will have to give up the 10% share from the food truck.
She may not be willing.
After all, one has a booming business, while the other has an uncertain future.
