"Are you sure you want to open a flower shop? Didn't you say you wanted to open a coffee shop here?"
On Saturday, Xia Wenxi dragged Lin Shen along to see the store she had seen online last time.
On the way, Lin Shen jokingly asked her why she didn't open a coffee shop downstairs from his company.
Xia Wenxi said matter-of-factly, "Drinking too much coffee is unhealthy, and besides, I haven't decided what kind of shop I want to open yet. I'm just going to take a look today."
She even took out her phone to show Lin Shen, "It's not far from your company. I can come over for lunch, and you can pass by here on your way home from get off work. Isn't that great?"
Xia Wenxi felt it was fate; she had just come across this store when she was looking for something to do during her vacation.
Since I had nothing else to do, I decided to come and take a look.
Lin Shen started the car with a smile, "From what you've said, then this shop is definitely a must-rent, so Xiaoxi can have lunch with me."
"Then don't have too high expectations of me. Even if I open a shop, I might not be able to get up at noon."
"Then we can have dinner together."
...
Xia Wenxi contacted the landlord a day in advance, so the landlord was waiting in the shop. The shop was located on the street and was formerly a dessert shop, so the interior decoration was still pink and cozy.
Xia Wenxi had actually considered opening a dessert shop, but for her, opening a dessert shop was like a mouse falling into a rice jar. For the sake of her weight and health, she reluctantly rejected the idea.
“Miss Xia, this used to be a dessert shop, and the owners were young people, so the decor is still very nice. You can use the decor directly if you want to open a shop here.”
The landlord kept saying nice things to get the shop rented out as quickly as possible.
"Actually, the previous store was also profitable. The young woman opened a new store in another city because of her boyfriend's work."
The landlord could tell from Xia Wenxi and Lin Shen's appearance that they were not ordinary people, so it was good to rent the house to such people.
"Your shop has a good location and nice decor, but it's been vacant for quite a while now, hasn't it?"
When Lin Shen came in, he noticed that the "For Rent" sign posted on the door was somewhat torn.
"The reason it hasn't been rented out yet... is the price too high?"
The landlord's face stiffened; he clearly knew that Lin Shen had hit the nail on the head.
His shop has been vacant for quite some time. Many people have come to inquire about the prices, but most of them stop contacting him after hearing the prices.
Every day the shop is empty, he earns less money, so he's naturally anxious, but he's reluctant to lower the rent. Today, seeing Xia Wenxi and Lin Shen's attire, he thought he might have met someone who doesn't know how to bargain.
“Ms. Xia, if you are really interested in renting, I will give you a discount. You seem like a stable person, so this will save us both trouble.”
Xia Wenxi knew that when it came to bargaining, you should never show that you really liked something when you were buying it, and the same applied to renting a house.
Before she arrived, she specifically checked the rent of similar shops online and then slightly reduced the price before telling the landlord her expected price.
After that, Lin Shen didn't say anything, but let Xia Wenxi negotiate the rent with the landlord herself. Seeing her stern face as she bargained, Lin Shen smiled inwardly, but also kept a stern face on his face.
The two were like a pair of villainous people who "came with ill intentions".
However, Xia Wenxi didn't haggle too hard, and the rent was eventually about the same as the market price, so the result was quite satisfactory.
She signed the contract on the spot.
After taking the contract out, Xia Wenxi suddenly began to think.
"It seems I haven't decided what kind of shop to open yet... Will I be paying rent for nothing this month?"
"Didn't you say you wanted to open a flower shop? A flower shop is a good idea. On our way here, we only saw one small flower shop. I remember there's a university not far from here, so there should be some customers there."
"You remember all of this? You're using Gaode Maps, aren't you? So what should I prepare to open a flower shop? Should I start with the renovations?"
Xia Wenxi suddenly became nervous, "By the time I finish the renovation, school will have already started, right? So the real thing I'll be doing during my vacation is renovating?"
"Take your time. You can hire someone to do the work later, and you can come over occasionally. Besides, renovations aren't a simple task, and it would be great if you could finish it in one vacation."
Xia Wenxi paid no heed to Lin Shen's words of comfort; she was completely absorbed in her own world. She started thinking about what would happen if the flowers didn't sell…
"I wonder when Xia Wensheng will get married. Hua Quan can be used to pay for his wedding."
"And what about us?"
Lin Shen suddenly felt a little jealous, a jealousy that was unreasonable and came from nowhere.
Having been with Lin Shen for so long, Xia Wenxi could naturally sense his emotions.
After noticing that Lin Shen was a little unhappy, Xia Wenxi reflected on herself. Was it because she shouldn't have thought of Xia Wensheng first?
She opened her mouth as if to speak, but Lin Shen had already spoken.
"We need a lot of flowers for a wedding. Even if you emptied your shop, it might not be enough. Boss Xia, you might want to consider expanding your business in the future."
Lin Shen knew that his earlier frustration was somewhat unreasonable, but he quickly came to his senses after a moment of self-deprecation.
Hearing Lin Shen's words, Xia Wenxi joked, "Then let them go find a wedding planning company. I can barely manage this small shop, and I don't plan to expand it for the time being."
but……"
Xia Wenxi leaned closer to Lin Shen and kissed his cheek. "My little shop is enough to deliver flowers for Mr. Lin alone. From now on, I'll take care of all your flowers!"
Lin Shen kissed Xia Wenxi's lips in return, held her hand and said, "I'm sorry, Xiaoxi, I think I'm a little jealous for no reason."
Xia Wenxi shook her head, indicating that it was okay.
"Who doesn't get jealous in a relationship? But can I know why?"
