Chapter 277 Done
From the market side, the power plant family compound looks like an ordinary residential area.
But when you enter from the west gate on the Liuhu Park side, it's almost like a farmers' market. The area between the buildings in the community is relatively large, and the warehouses are built in rows between two buildings. There are many people and cars inside, and there are almost no green plants to be seen. The door of each warehouse is full of clothes and shoes.
Moreover, the first floor here is a real first floor. There is no storage room below. In order to facilitate access, many first floors have doors installed on the balcony windows. The downstairs is full of clotheslines with colorful clothes hanging on them.
The two of them walked around the community and found that there was indeed a vacant warehouse for rent. The location was good and not far from the west gate of the community. The warehouse next door was a wholesale store of children's clothing, and they were still shipping goods in full swing.
The owner of the children's clothing store was a middle-aged woman with an accent from another place who spoke very loudly. She told Su Jiaojiao that this store used to be a wholesale shoe business, but she had just given up the lease yesterday, saying that she was going to Guangzhou to develop her business.
When she learned that Su Jiaojiao was wholesale jeans, she seemed relieved and said in a gruff voice, "If you want to rent, act quickly, or else someone else will rent it. Our place isn't big, but there are a lot of people coming to pick up goods. Two hundred yuan a month isn't expensive. As long as the price is low, we can sell it wholesale."
Su Jiaojiao also thought it was okay, so she called the landlord.
The landlord was an old lady. When she learned that Su Jiaojiao wanted to rent a warehouse, she said that warehouses were all the same size and that the rent was two hundred yuan, while the upstairs housing was one hundred yuan per room.
Su Jiaojiao must rent a house.
Otherwise Cai Ting would have no place to live.
The two discussed it and decided to rent this place.
She could buy a warehouse and a house for just three hundred yuan, so she had to seize this opportunity.
The old landlady arrived in half an hour. She was wearing a gray Tang suit, a low bun on the back of her head, and a black jade necklace around her neck. She looked very elegant.
The old lady's surname was Song. She knew the woman who sold children's clothing. After they chatted for a while, she opened the warehouse for Su Jiaojiao and Cai Ting to see. It was about 20 square meters. There was nothing inside, only shoe boxes on the floor. The area was very suitable for wholesale.
The power plant's family compound is composed of six-story multi-story buildings. The old lady's house is on the second floor and is a two-bedroom apartment. In order to rent it out, the house is divided into four small rooms. The partitions block most of the light, making the house a bit dark. The living room is small, and the kitchen and bathroom are also not big.
The only thing the two were satisfied with was the larger room on the balcony of the family they had just moved out of. The room was full of light and had a view of the warehouse downstairs. It had a bed and a wardrobe, so Cai Ting could move in with just her luggage.
Perhaps because the merchants here have a high turnover rate, Old Lady Song did not ask Su Jiaojiao to pay for a year or half a year. She only said that monthly payment is fine and there is no need to sign a contract.
Su Jiaojiao paid a month's rent without hesitation and settled down first.
After renting the house, she and Cai Ting both breathed a sigh of relief.
Su Jiaojiao asked again if large trucks could enter here. The woman selling children's clothing said yes, and that many people did wholesale here for this reason.
As soon as Su Jiaojiao heard this, she knew that the matter would be easy to handle. She immediately left a message on the driver's pager, asking him when he would arrive.
The driver called back after a while and said that he would arrive tomorrow, but his truck could not enter the city, so he asked them to find a way to pick up the goods themselves.
Su Jiaojiao asked him again if he knew about Liuhu Park in Changshan District, saying that large trucks could enter there. The driver said he had never been there, but he could ask around and if it was possible, he would deliver it to her.
Su Jiaojiao has classes tomorrow, so Cai Ting can only come to pick up the goods.
Cai Ting patted her chest and said it was no problem: "I will move in tomorrow morning. I will go to Liuhu Park to wait for him and let him enter the community to unload the goods."
On the way back, Wang Hua called Su Jiaojiao again. He said he had asked someone at the Wudaokou Clothing Wholesale Market, but there would be no chance until the end of the year.
He also said that he found a warehouse for Su Jiaojiao and asked her to store the goods in the warehouse and sell them next year.
"Thank you, Wang Zhu, we have found a place." At the end of the year, she would just ask the driver to take the jeans back.
"Where?" Wang Hua asked.
"It's right here in Willow Lake Park."
"Liuhu Park?" Wang Hua paused, his tone somewhat unnatural. "Is it the Liuhu Park in Changshan District?"
"That's right." Su Jiaojiao saw that he seemed to be hesitant to speak, so she asked again, "Is there any problem?"
"No, no..." Wang Hua said hurriedly, "I just wondered why you guys ran over there. It's quite far away."
"There's a family compound here that specializes in wholesale clothing, so we came here." Su Jiaojiao didn't think much about it.
When I returned to the dormitory, it was already dark.
Du Bingqian was sitting at the table applying a facial mask. No one else was around. When Su Jiaojiao came back, Du Bingqian asked her, "Did you find the Orange Light Garden?"
"We found it. That's great." Su Jiaojiao was tired. She washed her face and lay down on the bed. "We had thousand-layer pancakes for lunch, and then we had spicy hot pot on the way back. It was delicious."
"My favorite cakes are from Chengguang Garden. They've been selling there for over 20 years, and business has always been brisk." Du Bingqian patted her face gently. Because of this topic, she became more talkative. "By the way, how did you and Bai Moli meet?"
"Bai Moli?" Su Jiaojiao had never heard of this name. "I don't know, who is she?"
"She's my junior high school classmate, from the school next door." Du Bingqian took off her mask, went to the bathroom to wash her face, and came back to put on makeup. "I ran into her today, and she asked about you!"
"What did she ask me?" Su Jiaojiao thought of the two strange girls she met in the restaurant before. School had been going on for more than a month, and except for the people in her dormitory, she didn't even recognize all the people in the neighboring dormitory, so how could she know people from the neighboring school?
"She asked where you were going, but I didn't tell her." Du Bingqian looked at Su Jiaojiao in the mirror. "I thought you two knew each other!"
"Maybe I recognized the wrong person." Su Jiaojiao didn't care.
"That shouldn't be the case. She knows you're from Jiao County and she also said you're a classmate of Wang Yue from the Foreign Languages College, which means she knows Wang Yue." Du Bingqian continued speaking to the mirror. "I asked her why she wanted to know you, but she hesitated and refused to tell me. I found it very confusing."
"Next time she asks you about me, tell her to come and ask me directly." Su Jiaojiao was also puzzled. "Since Wang Yue and I are classmates, we can get to know each other if we have the chance."
What's the big deal about asking about her behind her back?
"Okay." Du Bingqian agreed immediately, "I've met Wang Yue. When we meet, I'll introduce you to each other."
The next day, Su Jiaojiao and Du Bingqian met Wang Yue when they went to a restaurant for dinner.
Du Bingqian generously introduced Wang Yue to Su Jiaojiao: "This is your fellow villager Wang Yue."
"Hello, I'm Su Jiaojiao." Su Jiaojiao greeted Wang Yue with a smile, "It's an honor to meet a fellow countryman here."
"Hello..." Wang Yue felt a little embarrassed when she saw Su Jiaojiao. "I'm a grade higher than you. I repeated a year to pass the exam."
When she actually met Su Jiaojiao in person, she suddenly regretted what she had said to Bai Moli.
After all, the story between Su Jiaojiao and Qin Xiuming was just a rumor, and she had no idea whether it was true or not.
Thinking of this, Wang Yue said to Su Jiaojiao as if by magic: "Come with me, I have something to tell you."
Du Bingqian glanced at the two of them and went to the window to buy food as if nothing had happened.
Su Jiaojiao and Wang Yue left the restaurant and stopped under a tree. Wang Yue then spoke, "Bai Moli found me first. She asked me about you. She said she and Qin Xiuming were related."
"Even if she is a relative of Qin Xiuming, why is she asking about me?" Su Jiaojiao was very puzzled.
