Chapter 1289

After the question of renting a shop was asked, Brother Wang felt a little abrupt and hurriedly explained: "I often see you wandering around during this period, and you are also asking about houses, so I asked."

Xu Wanning did not deny it . , just said: "Yes, I want to rent a shop."

"Rent a shop?"

"I have a friend who wants to open a bookstore. I have helped her find all the books, but the house is not very good. I was looking for it, so the matter was shelved for the time being. “

It’s not that I haven’t found the house, but there is always something I’m not satisfied with.

Either the layout of the shop is unreasonable, or the landlord is difficult to deal with and demands exorbitant prices. Xu Wanning adheres to the principle of not having to settle for anything, so she has never rented a house.

Hearing this, Senior Brother Wang hurriedly said: "Isn't this a coincidence? There is a shop near my home, which has been idle and no one is using it. Junior Sister Xu, if you are not busy, why don't you come with me to have a look."

After hearing this, Xu Wanning's eyes lit up: "That's a good relationship. Please lead the way, Senior Brother Wang."

The shop that Senior Brother Wang mentioned is not far from the Academy of Agricultural Sciences, about 500 meters away, and it only takes two or three minutes to walk.

This is a small single-family house with no yard, but the house is three stories high. From the appearance, the house is not small, but it is old, so the walls are peeling off.

Senior Brother Wang carried the key with him. After he opened the door, thick dust hit his face.

He hurriedly retreated from the house and smiled awkwardly at Xu Wanning: "I'm sorry, Junior Sister Xu, I haven't been to this house for a long time, and I didn't expect it to accumulate so much dust. Just wait a moment, I'll get it Clean it with a broom, otherwise you won't even have a place to put your feet."

"No need..."

Before Xu Wanning could finish her words of refusal, Senior Brother Wang had already pulled a broom from the corner and started sweeping.

I don't know how long it has been since anyone came into this house. There was too much dust and it was impossible to clean it. Brother Wang had to sweep away the visible spider webs first, otherwise Xu Wanning wouldn't be able to walk in at all.

Although Xu Wanning was not mysophobic, she was still a little insensitive to so many spider webs, so she had to wait patiently for Senior Brother Wang to clean them up.

While Senior Brother Wang was cleaning, Xu Wanning was not idle and kept observing the condition of the house.

Although some of the exterior wall coverings have peeled off, the interior is still very well preserved. There are not many furnitures, but the layout looks very good.

It's perfect for opening a bookstore.

And it seems that there is a living bedroom on the third floor. When Chen Qiaoqiao tidies up a little, when he is too busy with work to go home, or during his lunch break, he can live in the bookstore, which can save a lot of trouble.

Xu Wanning was very satisfied with this house. She set a price in her mind. As long as Senior Brother Wang would not ask for excessive prices, even if it was slightly more expensive, she would rent this house no matter what.

Brother Wang didn't let Xu Wanning wait too long and quickly cleaned the house.

Although there is still a lot of dust on the ground, at least the spider webs are no longer visible to the eyes.

"Junior Sister Xu, let me take you upstairs and downstairs to look around the house first to see if you are satisfied or not."

"Okay, I'll bother Senior Brother Wang."

Xu Wanning followed Senior Brother Wang around the three-story building. It's indeed very satisfying.

She made up her mind to rent this house.

"Brother Wang, how much is the rent per month in your mind?"

Senior Brother Wang waved his hand: "What's the rent? You can just use this house. It's empty anyway."

"Old houses are just like old people . , it all depends on popularity, otherwise, I will grow old quickly. Although this house is very close to the Academy of Agricultural Sciences, I usually live in the dormitory and rarely come back, otherwise I would not accumulate so much dust and dust. Spider web."

"If you don't mind that this house is old, just use it."

Xu Wanning knew that Senior Brother Wang was so generous because she recommended him to the Academy of Agricultural Sciences in Hebei Province.

Brother Wang felt that Xu Wanning had given up such a good opportunity to him, so he generously lent the house to Xu Wanning as a way of repaying her.

Xu Wanning could guess what was going on in Senior Brother Wang's heart, and she suddenly felt dumbfounded.

She straightened her expression and said seriously: "Brother Wang, one size fits all. I am really satisfied with this house and think it is perfect for opening a bookstore. But my friend is doing business, so there are some things we have to discuss together." Let's agree from the beginning to avoid having to deal with it later.

"If you really want to help me, it would be better if we signed the rental contract a little longer." What do you think? "

Senior Brother Wang doesn't have any special ideas. If he doesn't want to accept it, he can't force Xu Wanning to accept it, right?

After thinking for a while, Senior Brother Wang asked: "Junior Sister Xu, let me ask a rather abrupt question."

Xu Wanning nodded: "Say."

"Does your friend have any plans to buy a house?"

"Buy a house?"

"Yes." Senior Brother Wang smiled bitterly: "This house was left to me by my grandma and grandpa, but my family has a house itself, and I am not married yet and live in the dormitory of the work unit. This house is not used at all. Since your friend is running a shop, For business people, it would be better to buy the house directly at once, and it would save both of us a lot of trouble. "

That would be so trouble-free!

Do you want to ask Xu Wanning if she is excited?

The answer is of course yes!

If the landlord were anyone she didn't know today, and she encountered such a good house, even if the landlord didn't say he wanted to sell it, Xu Wanning would take the initiative to ask the local government if they had any plans to sell the house, even if the price was a little higher. It doesn't matter.

After all, she spent money to buy the house, but opening the business can save a lot of rent. In other words, the cost is reduced.

Even if the bookstore is no longer open in the future, the value of this house will not depreciate.

But that's what Xu Wanning would do when facing strangers.

Although Senior Brother Wang and Xu Wanning are not particularly familiar with him, they have established a certain friendship between them during this period of time together. Xu Wanning really doesn't want to trick anyone.

What's more, if nothing happens, she and Senior Brother Wang will stay at the Academy of Agricultural Sciences for the next ten or twenty years.

By that time, the price of the house had increased rapidly, but Brother Wang sold the house to her at such a cheap price today. Xu Wanning always felt a little sorry for her, and she didn't know how to get along with her in the future.

So buying a house is not appropriate.

Xu Wanning asked tactfully: "Brother Wang, please forgive me for asking, are you short of money recently?"
