Chapter 264: Renting a Room
Li Peinan likes his empire very much.
His business empire was built by his grandfather, of course, the scale is not large, but for him, it is to develop him better and stronger.
His company covers a wide range of businesses, and there are many businesses that can be expanded in the future.
In the hands of my grandfather, the scale of the company has never expanded.
They were conservative and resilient through many periods.
Returning to China for development was suggested by him, and although he grew up abroad, he still liked the feeling of being wasted.
It felt like this was a very good opportunity.
Standing in front of the glass window on the top floor, he could see the square in front of his building at a glance.
In the spring, there is a lawn dotted with small white flowers, and it is very pleasant in the central square.
It's not the center of Kyoto, but he's sure it will become the central business district of Kyoto in the future.
So he boldly invested in his own commercial building, and also planned to have a square in front of the door.
Although it is only one acre, it has been carefully designed into a beautiful garden.
There were well-tended flower beds, benches for resting, the newest musical fountains he had seen abroad, and statues stacked on pedestals.
All of them are worth a lot of money, but there are also quite a few people who come to patronize them, and he also thinks it's worth the money.
Located on one side of the square, flanked by a thriving commercial center and high-end hotels and restaurants, he manages it neatly.
On the other side of the square there are many shops, dry cleaners, a clothing store, and several antique shops and cafes, as well as fashion shops that allow people to enjoy a certain amount of entertainment.
This is his empire.
He always thought that his life was like this.
Then he frowned, remembering the little woman with crossed eyebrows.
He has lived in a strict family since he was a child, and he has been a limelight figure since he was a child.
Rugby, basketball, baseball, there is not a sport in which he does not actively participate.
His level is comparable to that of an athlete, and he demands the best of everything he does.
This does not affect his popularity in the industry in any way, nor does it hinder his ambitions.
He has no wife or lover, and his only female companion is Jiang Yun, the daughter of his father's friend.
It was also his wife who thought he would get married in the future.
He and Jiang Yun are a good match, ambitious, with outstanding family backgrounds, and they both want to be excellent.
He thought that the children in his family were like this.
But now it seems to be a little different.
…………
Su Qian stood in the rain, and the dilapidated small building on West Street in front of her was her last hope.
The earth-red wall tiles are the only sight outside, the sparse shrubs seem to have never been pruned, and the large courtyard outside is planted with various vegetables and fruits in the summer, and now only a few vines remain.
Walking in, it is even more obvious, the dilapidated staircase is full of all kinds of garbage, and it also exudes a pungent smell, which is very disconcerting.
When you open the door to the room, the ceiling is crooked, and it could fall down at any moment.
One side of the screen on the door had fallen off the frame, and one of the glass windows had a large crack.
The cabinet of the attached kitchenette is piled up with a lot of honeycomb coal.
She looked to see if there were any other disappointments, and it seemed that there were none.
But anyway, no one has rented this house yet.
Aunt Huang, the owner of the house, is less than 1.6 meters tall, and her waist circumference is almost 1 meter.
Her hair was permed and curly, (perhaps naturally).
She walked all the way down the crumbling sidewalk, part of which was gone, and she walked around it.
But this one still smokes.
"Nothing in the furniture! There is a market for used furniture nearby, so it's easy to buy whatever you need. The house is a little old, and I can't say with a good conscience that the house is good. ”
She reminded Su Qian that this kind of reminder was completely unnecessary for Su Qian.
She knew it when she entered the house.
"There is only one bedroom and living room, and the kitchen and toilet are shared, which I used to live with my two children and my husband. After my wife passed away, my children bought me a new house and put it behind my eldest son's house, so that they could take care of me when I was sick or in an emergency. But I want to keep this old house as well. After all, it used to be our home, and besides, we can make some money renting it out. ”
"I cleaned once after the last guest left. Don't worry, garbage is nothing. ”
Walking into the room, Su Qian breathed a sigh of relief.
The house is indeed not dirty. It's just a musty smell, not a garbage smell, it's the result of the house being unoccupied for a long time.
The rooms were so small that they could only fit into a double bed and a sofa, and she couldn't imagine a family of four crammed into this small house.
The concrete floor on the ground is cracked, but it still works, and the only luck is that there is heating here, and there is no need to use a honeycomb coal stove for heating in winter, which is a blessing in misfortune.
Su Qian didn't want to make a stove every day when she came back, God knows how busy she would be in the future.
Su Qian walked through the room silently, imagining what it would look like after the warm lamp, curtains and furniture.
If she rents the house, she will have to change the windows, buy kitchen utensils and a sofa and coffee table in the living room.
Thankfully, she didn't have to buy furniture like a bed, and the landlord, Aunt Huang, said they had an old one, just move it over.
However, she calculated that unless she bought everything cheaply, she would have to spend at least one or two hundred dollars to make the house look a little better.
The problem is that the living index of this place is very high, and the furniture may be doubled.
Money is not a problem, she can afford it, this is the first time she has spent such a large amount of money since she was a child.
When I was in college, I didn't have to work so hard in the dormitory.
This time was the beginning of her arrival in a strange city, the first investment, and the money in her hand did not know if she could hold on to a firm foothold, and her stomach began to twitch in pain.
She can spend this money, and she can completely retreat and go back to her own city, which is to give up halfway.
I knew how much I would have saved if I had a dormitory.
"Okay, I'll rent this house."
She exclaimed.
The voice was strange and distant, as if it were coming from another person.
Aunt Huang's fat red face was flushed.
"Do you want to rent? I don't mean anything else...... I mean, you don't look like someone who likes it here...... It used to be a quiet alley, but now the security is getting worse and worse, and there are many people......"
She was so surprised that she couldn't breathe.
The girl in front of me doesn't look like someone who can live here.
Su Qian could understand her feelings.
A day ago, oh my God, even now, she didn't believe she would live here.
However, the only advantage here is that it is very close to the company, the transportation is also convenient, several buses are in front of the door, and there is a large vegetable market nearby, so the cost of living will be very low.
For a migrant worker like her, it is the most suitable.
