When Du Yuanyuan saw Aunt Huang leave, she immediately went to find Qi Mengmeng.
"Sister-in-law, Aunt Huang is gone."
"Um."
Qi Mengmeng was in a bad mood and didn't say much. She had to make the cakes that various units wanted, otherwise if she wasted time, those cakes would be wasted.
Du Yuanyuan was very observant. Seeing that Qi Mengmeng didn't want to talk, she didn't say anything more and just started helping Qi Mengmeng beat the eggs.
After all the cake bases were put into the oven, Du Yuanyuan asked Qi Mengmeng worriedly, "Sister-in-law, what if Aunt Huang insists on selling this shop?"
What else can I do?
Just eat it cold.
The worst that could happen is I can find a new shop, but I must get back the money I spent on renovating this shop and the rent for the past three years.
Of course, that's the worst-case scenario.
It takes time to find a new place and renovate the shop. Now is the best time of the year to sell things. If we waste it, we will lose money.
"Let's see how much Aunt Huang wants to sell the shop for first."
Qi Mengmeng didn't tell anyone about her plan.
Du Yuanyuan sighed, "Mrs. Huang's price is too high. Eight thousand yuan. How long will it take to save enough money?"
For others, eight thousand yuan is not easy to come by, but for Qi Mengmeng, she holds all the Qi family's property in her hands. However, no matter how rich she is, she doesn't want to be a sucker.
After deducting her renovation costs and rent for this shop, the most she could give was four thousand five hundred. Any more and the shop would not be worth it.
In order to prevent Aunt Huang from selling the shop prematurely, Qi Mengmeng worked overtime to make cakes. She didn't close the shop until it was completely dark and the last batch of cakes was made.
Gu Guizhi was standing outside waiting for her.
Qi Mengmeng walked over with a smile on her face: "You're here."
"It's dark and you haven't gone home yet. I'm worried about you." Gu Guizhi helped Qi Mengmeng put on her scarf, watched her lock the door, and then they walked home together.
"I remember Uncle Liu said there's no rush for these cakes, why are you coming home so late today?"
Gu Guizhi held a flashlight in his hand, and the light shone at Qi Mengmeng's feet.
Liu Dajiang is not in a hurry, but Aunt Huang is.
Qi Mengmeng told the story of Aunt Huang coming to the shop today.
"This shop is already renovated. If I buy it, I can sell the goods directly. I'm worried that if Aunt Huang raises the price, someone will rush to buy it. Then I will definitely move all my things out."
If we can’t find a suitable place at the moment, I’m afraid those machines will have to be moved back home, which will definitely be inconvenient to make cakes later.
"I'll ask someone tomorrow."
Gu Guizhi has his own connections and can always find out some information that others don't know.
"If I buy this shop, do you have enough money?"
Gu Guizhi asked Qi Mengmeng.
"I have enough money, but I don't want to pay more. Today, Aunt Huang asked for 8,000 yuan. With this price, we can buy three shops. These two shops can only be sold for 5,000 yuan at most. If we want to buy this shop, I'm afraid we still have a lot of room for negotiation."
"Eight thousand?"
Gu Guizhi was also a little surprised.
He was not involved in Qi Mengmeng's business and did not know how much Qi Mengmeng earned a month, but based on his salary, if he wanted to save 8,000 yuan, it would take at least four or five years, and that was without eating or drinking.
In fact, many families cannot save enough 8,000 yuan in their entire life.
There are very few families that can save a thousand yuan for the food and drink of the elderly and children, social interactions, and marriage of the children when they grow up.
Since getting married, Gu Guizhi has never cared about money, but he knows how much he earns.
The family bought two big houses and a shop. The money he earned was definitely not enough. Qi Mengmeng must have used the Qi family's money.
When Gu Guizhi decided to marry Qi Mengmeng, he investigated the Qi family and naturally knew that Qi's ancestors were capitalists.
But he always thought that all the Qi family's property had been handed over, but he didn't expect that a lot of it was left and had not been discovered.
"Mengmeng, if anyone asks you about the money for buying the house, just say it was given to you by your dad."
Gu Guizhi felt that he should tell Qi Zhijun.
Qi Zhijun has been working for many years and has hardly bought any big items, so it is normal for him to give his savings to his only daughter.
Qi Mengmeng didn't expect Gu Guizhi to be so thoughtful. She agreed after only thinking about it.
"I'll call Dad later to talk about this."
Gu Guizhi took on this job. Of course he couldn't say it directly, but he said it tactfully, believing that Qi Zhijun would understand.
The two of them arrived at the door of the house while talking. Qi Mengmeng reminded Gu Guizhi not to tell Qi Huilan about the cake shop matter for the time being, so as to avoid her worrying.
Qi Mengmeng felt that since Aunt Huang was in a hurry to sell the shop, she wouldn't be able to wait long.
In fact, it was not Aunt Huang who was anxious to sell the shop, but her daughter-in-law Song Dahua.
Aunt Huang came out of Qi Mengmeng's shop and went to the state-owned restaurant to buy five meat buns and a bowl of millet porridge, which she took to the hospital.
When Song Dahua saw Aunt Huang, her face immediately fell.
"Dahua, these are the meat buns I bought. Share them with Xiaobao."
Song Dahua didn't say a word. She took two meat buns and handed them to Xiaobao. She gave one to Xiaobao and asked him to eat it while she ate the other one herself.
"Dahua, I've already visited the shop. I'll go there to apply for stickers tomorrow and sell the shop as soon as possible." Aunt Huang smiled at Song Dahua in a flattering manner.
"I remember that shop was rented out. Does the owner agree?" Song Dahua then glanced at Aunt Huang.
"Yes, I rented it to a cake seller. I told them that if they want to buy it, I will sell it to them."
Aunt Huang recounted her experience of going to the cake shop.
When Song Dahua heard the price of eight thousand yuan, she couldn't even chew the meat bun in her mouth.
"That shop can be sold for eight thousand?" Song Dahua couldn't control her voice. How come she never knew that the shop at home was so valuable.
Aunt Huang smiled awkwardly and said, "I just want a high price. I don't think it can be sold for that much. I estimate that the highest it can be sold for is more than 5,000. If we ask for a high price, even if they bargain, the shop will still be sold for less."
However, Song Dahua didn't believe what Aunt Huang said. These days, few families could come up with several thousand dollars, and anyone who could come up with that was not a fool.
What if we can’t agree on a price and no one buys?
"Mom, what if people dislike the high price?" Song Dahua asked with a frown.
She no longer wants to care about the man's affairs, but her son needs money for hospitalization, and she doesn't have much money left.
Aunt Huang was a little dumbfounded: "That shouldn't be the case. I think that family is quite rich. Their cakes are quite expensive."
However, Song Dahua didn't believe what Aunt Huang said. It was their business whether they had money or not.
Does she just spend money casually just because she has money? Of course she won’t.
Song Dahua looked at Aunt Huang with some dissatisfaction. Since she wanted to sell the shop, she should just give a suitable price. Why offer such a high price?
Suddenly she thought of a possibility.
"Mom, don't you want to sell the shop, so you offered such a high price?"
