Chapter 225 Okay, I'll listen to Brother Yanli
Qiao Yan was very generous. He hooked his arms around Ji Yanli's neck and let him taste him to his heart's content. Then the two of them went out satisfied.
Ji Yanli had already agreed with Principal Tian of No. 3 Middle School that he would take his wife to look at shops this morning. Principal Tian had been waiting for them in the office early in the morning.
Ji Yanli parked the car in front of the gate of No. 3 Middle School. Qiao Yanxin opened the door and got out. She looked around and saw that there were many clothing shops, tailor shops, convenience stores, grocery stores and the like nearby.
Qiao Yanxin smiled and said, "It seems that the only thing missing here is a bookstore."
She is very satisfied with the location and environment here.
It’s just that No. 3 Middle School is a little far from Yenching University, but that’s not a problem.
Qiao Yanxin wants to buy a car so that it will be convenient for her to drive here in the future.
Furthermore, after the bookstore opens, she certainly won't be able to stay in the bookstore all day. She will hire two trustworthy and capable people to help look after the store, and she can just come over to take a look every day.
So, distance is not a problem at all.
Ji Yanli held her small hand with his big hand and walked towards the school gate.
There are two shops facing the street next to the gate of No. 3 Middle School. The smallest one has been rented out and is now used as a small store.
The larger one is currently vacant.
Qiao Yanxin stood on tiptoe and looked inside through the glass window, and saw some messy tables, chairs, and benches, as well as dilapidated and peeling walls.
Ji Yanli: "This room was originally a warehouse of the school. The policy has been relaxed recently, so the school leaders thought of renting out the warehouse. Don't look at the shabby look inside. As long as it is renovated, it can become a good shop."
Qiao Yanxin felt that what Ji Yanli said made sense. She estimated the area and asked, "This room should be about 50 square meters. I think it's just the right size for a bookstore.
As long as the price is not too outrageous, you can rent it. ”
Ji Yanli: "Fifty-two square meters. Principal Tian is already waiting for us in the office. Let's go talk to him first."
Qiao Yanxin nodded, took Ji Yanli's arm and walked into the school.
When the two arrived at Principal Tian's office, Principal Tian said enthusiastically, "Sit down and have a drink of water first. I'll get the key and open the door in a moment. Take a closer look at the warehouse. The rent is easy to negotiate."
After Qiao Yanxin and Ji Yanli sat down, they asked, "Principal Tian, thank you for your help.
Our school has several grades and approximately how many students are there in each grade. ”
Principal Tian: "Our No. 3 Middle School is a high school. There are about 600 students in each grade. Don't worry, parents in our school pay special attention to their children's grades. When the time comes, I will ask teachers of various subjects to help promote it in class. Your bookstore's business will definitely be good."
Qiao Yanxin quickly thanked him.
Then he asked, "Are there any other schools nearby, such as elementary schools, junior high schools, etc."
"Yes, Hongqi Primary School and Cheng Primary School are only two streets away from us.
Yucai Middle School is a junior high school, only three blocks away from us. ”
Now Qiao Yan was even more satisfied.
There are primary schools and junior high schools nearby, so there is no need to worry about not being able to develop the tutoring book business.
Ji Yanli looked at Qiao Yanxin and said, "Yanxin, let's go check out the shop first."
Qiao Yanxin: "Principal Tian, please take us to see those warehouses."
Principal Tian stood up with a smile: "Okay, both of you, please come this way."
The three of them left the office and walked towards the school gate.
After Principal Tian opened the warehouse with his key, he said, "Feel free to look around."
Ji Yanli walked in holding Qiao Yanxin's hand. The warehouse had not been cleaned for a long time and was covered with dust, which was very choking.
"Aqiu! Aqiu!"
Qiao Yanxin sneezed twice because of being choked.
Ji Yanli took out a clean handkerchief and asked Qiao Yanxin to cover her nose.
This warehouse is square and on the sunny side, so it can get sun even in winter. Qiao Yanxin and Ji Yanli are both very satisfied with it.
After leaving the warehouse, Ji Yanli said, "Principal Tian, let's go to your office to discuss in detail."
"Okay, okay, please, please, please..."
After returning to the office, Principal Tian said the rent was five hundred yuan per month. Qiao Yanxin discussed it with Ji Yanli and felt that five hundred yuan was fair, so he agreed immediately.
Principal Tian had prepared the contract long ago. After reading it, Qiao Yanxin and Ji Yanli felt that there was no problem with the contract.
Qiao Yanxin first paid half a year's rent and signed the contract.
Because the shop is located at the school gate and far away from the teaching building, the renovation will not affect students' classes and learning, so the renovation can start at any time.
The shop was completed, and Qiao Yan finally felt relieved.
The most urgent task is to invite famous teachers and start preparing for the compilation of teaching supplementary books.
Qiao Yanxin has already entrusted the matter of hiring a famous teacher to Gu Haitang, but Gu Haitang went to Hong Kong with Tong Chaoying yesterday and will not be back until a few days later.
Ji Yanli held Qiao Yanxin's fingers and comforted her: "Yanxin, don't worry, mom is very sensible. If she agrees to help you, she will definitely not delay the matter. I will call mom to ask about the situation when I get back."
Qiao Yanxin: "Yeah, okay."
Ji Yanli raised his wrist to look at his watch. It was already past eleven o'clock in the afternoon.
He said, "Yanxin, it's already noon, let's not go back, find a better restaurant to have a meal, and I'll take you to look at the cars."
"Okay, I'll listen to Brother Yanli."
Qiao Yan was in a good mood and couldn't help but want to tease Ji Yanli. She hugged his arm and pressed it against his chest, smiling at him tenderly.
Ji Yanli's heart was itching when he heard her call him "brother". He stared at her red lips and wanted to kiss her.
But the streets were crowded with people, so he had to hold back and said quite seriously, "Get in the car."
Qiao Yanxin happily followed Ji Yanli into the car, but as soon as she closed the door, he pulled her into his arms and kissed her hard.
After letting her go, Ji Yanli smiled triumphantly.
Qiao Yanxin didn't want to be kissed in vain, so she leaned over, hugged his neck and kissed his cheek, kissing his ears until they turned red, and then she let go of his hand contentedly.
Then he imitated his serious tone and said, "Drive."
Ji Yanli smiled indulgently, started the car, found a very upscale restaurant, and after a hearty meal, took Qiao Yanxin to a domestic car sales point.
In this era, domestic car brands and models are very limited. Slightly higher-end cars are not circulated in the market and are only used as government reception and official vehicles.
Qiao Yanxin took a fancy to a Shanghai brand car from the very limited models.
"Yanli, I want to test drive it."
Ji Yanli suddenly became nervous. He thought Qiao Yanxin didn't know how to drive. He had originally planned to buy a car, teach her how to drive, and then let her drive when she went out.
"Yanxin, be good. You sit in the passenger seat today and I'll help you test drive. I'll teach you how to drive right after we get back. You can drive by yourself after you learn it, okay?"
