Chapter 540: A Wedding for the Disabled Boss (15)
"Why? I thought you would be eager to end this ridiculous, involuntary marriage." Mo Shichu raised his eyebrows.
"Because I need this marriage, and you don't have anything to lose, right?" Shu Shihuan said to Mo Shichu seriously.
Mo Shichu thought about it and realized that this ridiculous marriage did not bring her any losses. In fact, not only did she not suffer any losses, but she gained a lot of benefits. So she nodded and said, "Indeed, the benefits I gained from this marriage far outweigh the disadvantages."
"So why don't you agree to my proposal? I need a nominal wife to help me keep away those suitors outside, and you - it seems that your family is not well off and you need money more? I will pay you a satisfactory salary every month, just as if I had recruited you to be my wife." Shu Shihuan explained to Mo Shichu seriously.
"You mean to say that the purpose of my marriage with you has changed from getting married to helping you avoid unwanted romantic interests?" Upon hearing this, Mo Shichu immediately smiled, as if Shu Shihuan's words made her feel very funny.
"Yes, you don't have a boyfriend anyway, isn't it good to keep it this way?" Shu Shihuan persuaded patiently.
"Okay, I promise you." Mo Shichu said happily.
When Shu Shihuan heard that she agreed so quickly, he showed a very surprised expression on his face: "I thought you wouldn't agree so easily, and I would need to coerce or bribe you to agree."
"I have already agreed to your mother's marriage for money. Now I am just using you as a shield to block your romantic opportunities. Why shouldn't I agree?" Mo Shichu snorted. "I am not a noble person. You overestimate my integrity."
Shu Shihuan curled his lips slightly and said, "Then let's happily agree that we will continue this marriage."
"Okay!" Mo Shichu had no objection.
So, they waited until Shu Shihuan threw away his crutches and slowly started to walk, and until he could walk like a normal person without any abnormality and no one could tell that he had ever had difficulty walking, but Mo Shichu and Shu Shihuan still did not divorce. At this time, the one-year period agreed with Mrs. Shu had long passed.
Seeing that they had not divorced, Mrs. Shu thought that they were really interested in each other and started to turn their fake relationship into reality. She was extremely happy and hoped that Mo Shichu would forget about it. She almost never appeared in front of Mo Shichu, for she was afraid that when Mo Shichu saw her, he would remember to divorce Shu Shihuan.
Mo Shichu had no idea that Mrs. Shu was so dramatic. After Shu Shihuan's leg healed, he started going back to work in the company. Mo Shichu did not continue to stay in the Shu family to eat, drink and have fun just because she and Shu Shihuan had not divorced. She found a job for herself.
When she went to the hospital to visit Mo's father and mother, she saw a small shop selling green plants for sale on a street behind the hospital. The shop had all kinds of green plants, such as mint, succulents, rosemary, anthurium, spider plants... all kinds of them, dazzling.
But for some reason, the store was very deserted. Mo Shichu observed at the door for twenty minutes and found that only three people walked into the store. Among these three people, only one paid for a pot of green ivy. The other two just looked at it and left without buying anything.
The passenger flow is too low. However, there are obviously a lot of people on this street and it is very lively. Logically, the passenger flow should not be so low.
Although this green plant shop is located near the hospital and is not as popular as a flower shop, in fact, the substitutability of green plants and fresh flowers is very high. After all, compared to fresh flowers that will wither after a few days, most patients would prefer to see green plants that are always full of vitality. Therefore, selling green plants is not necessarily inferior to selling flowers.
Mo Shichu walked into the store and found the dejected female boss sitting behind the cash register: "Are you the owner of the store? Do you want to transfer the store?"
When the female boss heard her question, she was immediately excited: "Yes, I am the owner of the store. I really want to transfer the store. Miss, are you interested?"
"Are you transferring all the plants in this store?" Mo Shichu asked, stroking a cassia osmanthus potted plant beside him.
The female boss was stunned for a moment, obviously she didn't expect that she would ask this question, but she quickly reacted and asked excitedly: "Are you interested in these green plants? If you want, I can transfer them to you together! Don't worry, I will definitely give you the best price. After all, I thought I would sell them at a discount or give them directly to relatives and friends..."
"I like these plants, and there are no other green plant shops on this street, so there is not much competition," said Mo Shichu.
The female boss looked a little confused after hearing what she said. After a while, she sighed and said to Mo Shichu, "Let me tell you straight, although there are no other green plant shops on this street, the business is actually not very good. People prefer fresh flowers to the small potted plants in my shop. When people go to visit patients, most of them bring fresh flowers. Even if they don't bring fresh flowers, they will bring fruit baskets. Very few people bring green plants.
Although I really want to transfer all my plants to you to recover some of the losses, I can't lie to you against my conscience, so I'll tell you the truth. Think about it yourself. If you don't want these things from me, I won't blame you and I'm still willing to transfer the store to you."
Seeing her frankness, Mo Shichu smiled and said, "Since you are so sincere, I won't argue. I want your plants. Name a price for them, including this store."
The female boss was shocked for a moment. She didn't expect her to be so happy. She advised her to think about it more. However, Mo Shichu had already made up his mind and would not hesitate any longer. So the female boss had to agree to transfer the store and the green plants in it to her.
The female boss was a very kind person. She did not ask for an exorbitant price, but gave Mo Shichu a relatively fair price. Mo Shichu did not bargain with her and paid directly.
So after signing a few contracts, this green plant shop became Mo Shichu's.
She was not in a hurry to open the business. After all, there was a reason why this plant shop had so little traffic. The space in the shop was not big enough, and there were too many plants. The previous owner probably had not learned about store display, merchandise aesthetics and other knowledge, so the location and shape of the plants were very casual. He just put a few rows of shelves and then put pots of plants on them. It was not aesthetically pleasing and naturally did not attract the attention of customers.
What's more, these plants are all green. If you put too many of them indoors, the house will seem gloomy, which will definitely prevent many people from coming in.
So the first thing Mo Shichu did after accepting the offer was to move out all the green plants and then redecorate the shop, replacing all the exterior walls with transparent glass walls so that light could shine in directly, making the interior brighter instantly.
