Jian Yuelan looked at the closed door and asked him softly, "Brother, are there any of the three shops on Old Street—the cake shop, the tailor shop, and the grain and oil shop—that could be rented out?"
Lin Yuanchao understood immediately that he had set his sights on those three shops.
If it was any other shop, he really wouldn't be able to do anything, but this was just a coincidence.
"Don't even think about renting a bakery or a grain and oil shop, but you can rent a tailor shop."
Jian Yuelan was delighted, "You're closing the tailor shop?"
"The tailor shop's master is too old to work anymore, and his apprentices all work in garment factories and are unwilling to take over his job. Plus, the house is government-owned, and if he doesn't want to work for the Housing Authority, they have no choice but to take the shop back and prepare to rent it out elsewhere."
Having said that, he looked up at Jian Yuelan and asked, "Sister, are you going to do it yourself, or cooperate with the garment factory and hire workers?"
“We don’t cooperate with garment factories, we only hire workers.”
“You…”
He stood up and walked around the office. "If you're hiring workers, you need to be careful about the number of people, otherwise things might go wrong."
"But from what I know about you, I think you've spread your wings a bit too wide."
"How about this? After you rent the shop, I can help you move it to the textile factory."
Jian Yuelan was surprised and asked, "Brother, do you know anyone from the textile factory?"
Lin Yuanchao looked at her and saw her serious expression. He said helplessly, "You've known me for so long, and you haven't thought of asking my old bosses about my situation?"
This made Jian Yuelan very embarrassed, but she was thick-skinned. After a brief silence, she said confidently, "I'm dating you as a person, not your family background. Why would I ask these questions?"
"I only know that grandpa and the others believe in you, so I naturally believe in you too."
Lin Yuanchao was moved by these words and immediately gave her a dose of reassurance, "My brother is the director of a textile factory."
Jian Yuelan suddenly understood. No wonder the old man was able to buy so much fabric. It turned out that he bought it from the warehouse of the textile factory.
but--
"I have already agreed with the director of the Red Star Garment Factory to give me a quota for the affiliation."
This means it is not necessary.
Lin Yuanchao nodded and was about to speak when she said, "Brother, I'd really need you to introduce me to my eldest brother."
Doing clothing business requires dealing with fabrics. Her original plan was to connect with the people at the textile factory through Yuan Wei and others, but now the candidate is here, and he is the factory director, so it is obvious who to find.
"good."
So, it was settled.
Because Lin Yuanchao had to go to work today and didn't have time to accompany her to rent a shop, the two of them made another appointment.
"By the way, brother, I want to buy an apartment. Do you know if the Housing Authority has any available?"
Lin Yuanchao didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "The Housing Authority must have houses available."
During that decade, too many families were broken up and many houses under the Housing Authority were ownerless.
"Buying a house isn't a big problem; the key is finding the right house is not easy."
In line with the principle of doing good things to the end and seeing the Buddha through to the west, Lin Yuanchao said, "First, tell me what kind of house you want to buy."
Jian Yuelan stated her request.
First of all, it should be big, with many rooms, preferably about ten rooms.
It also needs a yard. It would be perfect if it had a front and back yard, but if not, a front yard would be fine.
Then the location should be good, with kindergartens, primary schools, middle schools, etc. nearby.
She counted them one by one on her fingers and compared them with the old man's house on Guanning Road.
Lin Yuanchao, who had been listening with great interest, gradually lost his smile after hearing her requests.
After she finished speaking, he stood up expressionlessly and made a gesture of invitation, "Sister, I'm busy today, so I won't entertain you."
Jian Yuelan's eyes widened. With all these intentions, why did he suddenly send the guest away?
"Brother, are you serious?"
"I'm serious."
Lin Yuanchao nodded. "Don't say I don't have your house. The Housing Authority probably doesn't have it either."
For houses like the one the old man owns, it’s impossible to sell those that are owned, and it’s not their turn to buy those that are unowned, as they would have been divided up long ago.
Jian Yuelan was disappointed when she heard this. "Is there no possibility at all?"
Lin Yuanchao was silent for a while, then sighed, "I can't answer you right now. So, give me some time and I'll find someone to ask for you."
"Okay, thank you for your hard work, Brother Lin."
"Embroidery..."
"Not at the moment. I'll wait until I'm on the right track as a self-employed person."
Continuous embroidery hurts her eyes, so she has taken on a lot of embroidery jobs in recent years, otherwise she wouldn't make so much money.
"My eyes are in dire need of maintenance."
Pointing at her own eyes, she said, "I still need to practice my eyesight. This takes time."
This excuse was too impeccable, so Lin Yuanchao couldn't insist any further. He had no choice but to send her to the door and said, "The day after tomorrow morning, we'll go get the shop ready. In the afternoon, you buy some more food so my brother can have a good meal. He has no other hobbies but to eat."
This means that as long as his brother eats well and enjoys his food, nothing else will be a problem.
Jian Yuelan immediately understood what he meant, "No problem, does our eldest brother have any food preferences?"
Speaking of this, it’s hard for Lin Yuanchao to put it into words.
"He likes spicy food."
However, the climate in Ancheng is not suitable for spicy food, as it will cause sore throat.
When his brother gets angry, he feels uncomfortable all over and drinks cold tea.
I have diarrhea after drinking it, but I still love spicy food after that.
Then I entered a vicious cycle of getting a sore throat, having diarrhea, and getting a sore throat again after having diarrhea.
"I'm really good at this. The day after tomorrow, both you and Big Brother come with empty stomachs. I promise you'll leave with so much food you'll have to lean against the wall."
Isn't it a spicy dish?
Learn about Ganzhou cuisine, Hunan cuisine, and Sichuan cuisine.
You can have spicy, hot or very spicy food as long as you can tolerate it.
Lin Yuanchao nodded, "When you get back, remember to tell the old man and the others that we brothers are going to their house for a free meal."
"clear."
After coming out of the Friendship Store, Jian Yuelan did not rush home, but went to the Red Star Garment Factory to find Lu Guowei.
"Uncle, I'm here to see you."
Lu Guowei raised his eyes and looked over, saying sarcastically, "Hey, who is this? It turns out to be our Comrade Xiao Jian. What's the matter? After not seeing you for so long, you finally remembered me, your uncle?"
Jian Yuelan was confused. "Uncle, what are you doing? If I remember correctly, I haven't offended you."
"You're offended."
"when?"
"You've moved into Guanning Road, but you didn't even bother to visit me at home."
Jian Yuelan felt so wronged that she couldn't help but laugh and cry as she tried to defend herself, "I didn't know your house was on Guanning Road before."
"You didn't ask the old man?"
Why do all of them want her to find the old man's background? Others just hope that no one will get close to them, but she knows those well, and it seems like they are afraid of not getting close to them.
"My fault."
She admitted her mistake decisively, took out a box from her bag apologetically, and handed it over with both hands, "Uncle, this is a gift from me to Aunt. I hope you can pass it on when you go back."
