Chapter 849 The Sucker
Shen Qingyu pointed to the next door and said, "Fifth sister just went there with Sister Zheng."
"Then I'll go take a look too. Thank you for your hard work, Fourth Sister, in looking after the store." Shen Qingqian walked to the next door.
Shen Shen was not here today, and Shen Shan had gone back to deal with the sugar factory and the output from the fields. Only sisters Shen Qingyu and Shen Qingning, plus Zheng Ruoxi, were in the store today.
Shen Qingqian quickly went to the next door, and as soon as she entered, she knew why this store's business was not booming.
The whole store is not big, but it has three shelves, four wooden counters, and some soft stools here and there. At first glance, there is not even a place to put your feet.
I want to ask, who would be willing to come to such a cramped shop if they have the financial means to buy jewelry?
After Shen Qingqian scanned the jewelry on the shelves and counters, she didn't know how to complain.
The styles of these jewellery are outdated and the colours are dull, and it's obvious that they haven't been taken care of for a long time.
It would be strange if a store like this could survive.
At this moment, Shen Qingning walked out from the inner hall with a grim expression, followed by Zheng Ruoxi who also had a bad expression.
Shen Qingning looked up and saw Shen Qingqian, and his expression brightened a little. "Sixth sister, let's go back. Boss Chen doesn't really want to sell the shop."
"Hey, Fifth Miss, please slow down. I haven't finished what I'm saying yet," said Mr. Chen, the jewelry shop owner, as he chased out from the inner hall, his face still a little embarrassed. "We can discuss everything!"
Shen Qingqian nodded to Boss Chen as a greeting, then looked at Shen Qingning. Before she could ask, Shen Qingning told her what happened.
"Sixth sister, please judge for yourself. I really want to buy this shop, but Boss Chen is taking advantage of my youth and treating people differently. When others ask, he will sell the shop for 300 taels, but when I ask, he asks for 500 taels. He is taking advantage of me."
Zheng Ruoxi interrupted, "That's right, Boss Chen, do you think we won't ask the owner of the Chaos stall two blocks away? He just asked yesterday, and you ask for 500 taels today. Do we think we are so stupid?"
Seeing that the two were very angry, Shen Qingqian quickly spoke to comfort them, "Fifth Sister, Sister Zheng, don't be angry. Business is based on mutual consent. Since we are not satisfied with the price offered by Boss Chen, then don't sell this shop. Let's slowly look for a suitable one."
Having said that, she pulled the two of them away.
Boss Chen was now anxious. "Girls, please talk it over. I haven't even bargained with you yet. Besides, the three hundred taels I told that person yesterday didn't include the backyard. Five hundred taels wouldn't be too much for my shop, including the small yard at the back!"
Shen Qingqian and the others exchanged glances. Shen Qingning and Zheng Ruoxi both winked at her. Shen Qingqian then stepped forward and said with a smile, "Boss Chen, we sisters are all honest people. If you're only selling the shop and not the yard, then we can't take the shop. But if you want five hundred taels for the yard as well, we can't accept that price."
"Oh, let me tell you the truth, ladies. I originally wanted to keep the yard because my youngest son is still in the army in northern Hubei. I thought he could come and stay for a few days occasionally, but this morning I thought it wouldn't be appropriate to keep the yard just for those few days, so I changed my mind."
Boss Chen said as he observed the expressions of the others, "Think about it, my shop is in a good location, and it has a yard where you can live. It will be even more convenient if we connect it to your place in the future. Five hundred taels is really not expensive."
Shen Qingqian's smile remained unchanged, but her words hit the nail on the head, "Boss Chen, if it weren't for Shen Ji, your shop wouldn't have an advantage in terms of location."
