Chapter 189: Storefront
The next day, Du Chenyu took me and Qin Li to the store he provided me, which is close to the city center, with convenient transportation and dense crowds, surrounded by many clothing stores and shoe stores, and a big sound system is placed at the door of each store, in which irritable music and promotional shouts are played.
Some clerks stood at the door, holding a stack of leaflets in their hands, and distributed them to passers-by, some passers-by turned a blind eye to them, and walked straight by, while some passers-by took the leaflets and looked politely into the store for a moment.
I sighed, I didn't expect that in the place outside the flea market, there is such a world, here seems to be a battlefield without gunpowder, everywhere is open and secret, fierce competition, if you do not change the concept, flexible response, it is easy in this ups and downs of the battle, be defeated, it is difficult to turn over.
Du Chenyu provided me with this shop, the owner is a professor, retired and moved abroad, so he handed over this shop to Du Chenyu to help take care of it, here is close to the city center, there is an endless stream of people who come to ask for rent, but Du Chenyu has sent away, and now he unconditionally gave me this opportunity, which is really generous, the beauty of adults, so that I am excited and excited, I can't thank you.
"Brother Du, thank you so much, this store is not only in a comparable location, but also has a large flow of people, you really helped me again."
Du Chenyu took out the remote control and pressed it, and the roller shutter door slowly rose, making a rattling sound.
"Don't thank you, don't forget, these clothes are what I helped you pay for, if you don't manage well, the loss of money is gone, I have to ask for compensation, people have no foresight, there must be near-term worries, and we must take a long-term view to achieve great things."
I bowed slightly, noncommittal to his words, I had successfully taken this step, and the next step was a long battle.
Pushing open the glass door, a group of three of us slowly walked into the store, which is full of all kinds of books and paintings, the store is divided into two floors, the first floor is about 150 square meters, because no one has cleaned it for a long time, it has been full of dust.
"The old professor used to like to draw and read, you can seal everything here and send it to the warehouse, the space on the first floor is large enough, you can decorate it on the second floor, and move here with Xinyan."
Du Chenyu said lightly and walked towards the back door with me.
Open the back door, what catches your eye is a very spacious yard, there is a very high warehouse in the northwest corner of the yard, the lock on the warehouse door has rusted, but the warehouse built by color steel plates is still very new, as if it is newly built.
Du Chenyu opened the door of the warehouse, pressed the switch of the light, looked at me and said: "This is the warehouse, your goods can be stacked here, the waterproofing of the warehouse is newly made, you don't have to worry about water leakage." ”
Qin Li and I walked into the warehouse and took a closer look, the shelves here are complete, the space is moderate, and the ventilation is very good, which is very suitable for stacking clothing goods.
Du Chenyu handed me the key and said seriously: "I'll leave it to you here, don't let me down." ”
"Brother Du, this, how much rent do you think I should pay you?"
I took the key and muttered, very unreserved, and my voice was as low as a mosquito flying by.
Du Chenyu frowned, stared at me for a moment, and said in a low voice: "Xinyan is like my own sister, since she chose to follow you, then I don't like her to suffer with you, can you understand me when I say this?" ”
I nodded as if I didn't understand, he didn't answer how much rent he wanted, he just said this paragraph without a clue, I was a little confused when I heard it, Qin Yan seemed to see my thoughts, he put his hands in his pockets, squinted at me and said: "Don't you understand, Brother Du means that you can use it for nothing, you don't have to pay any rent, but you have to take care of your own water and electricity." ”
After he finished speaking, he whistled and walked out of the warehouse, Du Chenyu dusted off his body, and just as he was about to say something, the mobile phone rang, he took it out to check, and saw that it was Wen Lan calling, and a faint smile rose on the corner of his mouth.
He answered the phone and slowly walked out of the storeroom, leaving me standing here alone, I looked around again, felt that there was no big problem, very satisfied, locked the door, and went to the second floor of the store to check.
The space on the second floor is about 90 square meters, and there are two bedrooms and one living room here, but it is in disrepair, the facilities inside are old, the walls are dull, and the LED bulbs hanging on the ceiling have also been broken.
Du Chenyu was called away by a phone call from Wen Lan, Qin Li's work with me had just begun, and it took us nearly a day to move the books and picture frames on the first floor to the warehouse, and Qin Li's tired teeth were grinning, miserable, and he said angrily: "Boss Wang, you can't use me as a slave, I'm also a dignified civil servant, how can I be requisitioned by you, a capitalist." ”
I laughed and scolded: "How did I become a capitalist, obviously a proletarian worker, besides, what's wrong with the civil servant, the civil servant will not work?" ”
Qin Yan glanced at his mouth, looked at me with disdain on his face and said, "Then how much salary are you going to give me, is it a monthly salary or an annual salary?" Let me tell you, I'm worth a lot. ”
"How expensive is it? Are you a celebrity or an entertainer? ”
I stuffed a stack of books into a cardboard box, picked it up with difficulty, and added, "The working people are the most honorable, get up and work." ”
Qin Yan carried two large picture frames, followed behind me, and asked stupidly, "Wang Tao, if you have money in the future, what are you going to do?" ”
"Why do you ask this question all of a sudden? I really hadn't thought about it. ”
The two of us went into the storeroom, piled things in the corner, sat down on a large cardboard box, and wiped the sweat from our foreheads.
Qin Li picked up a signature pen, took out a piece of drawing paper, he drew a circle on the paper, then looked at me and said, "You know the collection, this is a collection, and it means that it is me." ”
I nodded slightly, I thought it was very interesting, and seeing that he drew another circle, and it was crossed with the circle just now, he pursed his lips and said in a low voice: "This circle represents Xue Yao, that is, the intersection, and we are inseparable." ”
"What the hell are you trying to say?"
"Rude, you haven't read a book at first glance, this is a collection from a high school math textbook, you see."
He drew two small circles in the crossed circles, looked at me and said: "This is a subset, representing my and Xue Yao's children, this forms a family, in society, there are tens of thousands of families, all of which have a set relationship, dialectical materialism is well said, our world is interconnected and inseparable, just like us ordinary people, each set has a corresponding relationship, society is a large set, and we are a subset distributed in all corners of society." ”
I gave a thumbs up and appreciated Qin Li's words, I didn't expect this young man who didn't listen to anything outside the window to say such philosophical words, which really subverted my perception of him.
Qin Yan saw the flattery on my face, so he spat and said: "You really have no ink in your chest, no thoughts, just now I said what you want to do when you have money, in fact, many people say that they eat all the food in the world and travel all over the land and China, but these wishes, we can do them without money." ”
"I don't have money to do it, I can't even afford a ticket, let alone travel all over the world, and I can't even go out at home."
I shook my head bitterly, although I don't really believe in romantic ideas, but people have to live in the moment after all, how can they do it without money.
Qin Yan glanced at me, turned over the white paper, drew a square on it, added a bedroom, study, living room, kitchen, bathroom to the box, and drew a lawn, garden, vegetable garden, rocking chair, and a big dog outside the square, I looked a little ignorant, and asked in a low voice: "This is the future you fantasize?" ”
He nodded noncommittally and said softly: "When I have money, I will live in a small town with few people, plant flowers in front of the house and grow vegetables behind the house, make my favorite food, raise a big dog, ride a bicycle and walk every day, stay away from this noisy society, do not disturb others, and do not like to be disturbed. ”
I sighed after hearing this, Qin Li, who is usually a child, is very arrogant, since he is so sentimental today, he has even figured out where to live in the future, and in his thin and thin body, there is a soul that does not understand the world.
"It's too early to say this, how old are you, and you're starting to talk about plans to retreat to the countryside."
I patted my shoulder, stood up slowly, took out a cigarette and lit it, took a light puff, and after taking a puff, I looked at him and said, "Xue Yao is a straightforward girl, if you have time, you can go and meet her parents, she is a very good person." ”
"How do you know?"
Qin Li's eyes lit up, and his expression was a little confused.
"Because I have been to her house, her parents always arrange blind dates for her, if you go, I will definitely offer you."
Qin Yan nodded thoughtfully, not speaking.
I looked down at my watch, it was already more than six o'clock in the evening, my stomach was hungry, I ordered a takeout with Qin Li at noon, and the physical exertion in the afternoon was too great, and the food had already been lost.
Qin Li went to the parking lot to pick up the car, I locked the roller shutter door, and when I was about to leave, I found a white Porsche sports car driving not far away, the engine made a violent roar, and it rushed straight to this side.
I frowned, the car slowed down, slowly stopped in front of the shop, the door opened, and out came a stunning beauty, she was about twenty-five years old, her skin was as white as snow, her delicate curves were tall and shapely, her long eyelashes blinked like butterfly wings, fluttering and flashing, and her red lips exuded a seductive sheen.
She wears a black fur coat on her upper body, a pair of light blue slim jeans on her lower body, tight low-waisted pants, wrapping her round ass, and showing a charming and enchanting atmosphere with every movement.
When she saw me stunned, she laughed and said, "Hey, handsome guy, what are you looking at?" ”
"Uh, that..."
I pointed to the white clouds in the sky, scratched my head in embarrassment, and tucked the key to the shutter door into my pocket.
When she saw that my cheeks were crimson, she twisted her delicate waist and walked over slowly, she looked me up and down, and laughed softly: "You are the owner of this shop?" How come I never saw you? ”
"Oh, I just took over, and I haven't had time to decorate yet, who are you?"
I peeked at her and muttered.
She circled around me, pouting from time to time, then walked up to me again, stretched out a hand, and a smile like a flower bloomed on her face: "Hello, my name is Wang Ling, and I am the owner of the luxury store opposite." ”
I glanced across the street and saw a 40-storey building with the letters "Luxury store" written on it.
There was an unknown perfume smell on her body, it smelled good, I took a deep breath, looked at her and said, "Hello, my name is Wang Tao." ”
