Come to the location of Qianyingfa, which is a community called "Splendid Garden".

It is very close to the Xujiahui subway entrance, and the houses are about 170,000 yuan.

In the past, Lai Yang and Li Dian joked about this, saying that if they kidnap a person in this community, they can extort tens of millions.

After following the pedestrians into the community, Laiyang looked up for the building number.

Qianying said that this old man's surname is Wu, and he has several sets of commercial houses in his hands, and he is a person who is not bad for money but has a very strange temper.

But even if the money is not bad, there must be a reason why the shop is empty and not rented, as long as the reason can be excavated, normal communication can continue.

……

Building 5 1306 households, Laiyang knocked on the door, and after a while, a voice came from inside, asking who it was?

"Hello Uncle Wu, it's a bit presumptuous to come to you today, I was recommended by a friend, saying that you have a shop on Zhaoping Road, and I want to come over and ask if you have any plans to rent it."

"Nope!"

"Uh...... Is that already rented out? ”

"Who told you I live here?"

"To tell you the truth, a friend of mine is an intermediary, and your listing has been listed with him before, so she has your contact information. That's right, I heard that you have a shop somewhere else, and I want to rent it all in one go, can we talk? ”

Hearing this, the security door opened, and an old man with a thin figure but embarrassed eyes glanced at Lai Yang suspiciously.

"You want to rent it all? Do you know how many shops I have? ”

"Well, my friend has already said that you have four sets of shops in Xuhui District, and the geographical location is very good, I went to see them all before I came to talk to you."

"What are you going to rent it for?"

"Uh... It's a bit complicated, but I'd like to ask you what's wrong with your shop? I think the location is very good in all aspects, why are several empty? ”

The old man looked at Laiyang cautiously, and after a while, opened the door and let him in to sit.

As soon as he entered the house, Laiyang was surprised by the decoration in the house.

It's not that the installation is good, on the contrary, it's basically a rough room with a painted wall, a wooden floor, some basic household appliances, and even a very old sofa.

This didn't quite match Laiyang's imagination, but just as he looked around, he found a family photo on the wall behind the sofa.

In the photo, the old man and an old lady sit in the center, and behind them is a young man and woman, looking like a husband and wife.

"Sit."

Old man Wu didn't give a cup of water, and sat on the sofa and took a sip of water.

"Is this your child?"

The old man gave him a blank look, didn't answer this, but asked what did Laiyang want to do when he rented it?

When he asked this question for the second time, Lai Yang noticed that the old man seemed to be very controlling.

It stands to reason that when ordinary merchants rent shops, the focus is on the rent issue, so Laiyang asked rhetorically: "Uncle Wu, do you have any requirements for the use of shops?" ”

"I don't have requirements for the use of shops, but for people. People like that kind of people who work in the restaurant industry are very cunning, and I don't want to rent them a shop. ”

This really makes Laiyang a little confused, but if you think about it, this old man is not bad for money, and he is a native of Shanghai, so it is normal to be a little discriminatory.

It is estimated that it is this kind of personality that causes him to look lonely now.

"Why do you think these people are cunning?"

"I don't have much knowledge, I just want to make money, every time I rent to them, they end up arguing with me because of the rent, I would rather not rent than someone cheat me out of a penny."

"I see, in fact, your focus is not on what the tenant is going to do, but you don't want to make everyone unhappy because of a little money, right, so do you think this will be done? I'll rent your shop on Zhaoping Road first, and I'll pay an extra three months, so you can rest assured, right? When the cooperation is smooth, you will rent it all to me later. ”

Old man Wu glanced at Laiyang a few times, and his face sank and said: "I'll just say why are you a little familiar, I saw you in that store, you and that ...... It's a friend who called Aru, and he deliberately came to lie to me today? ”

Hiss~

Laiyang gasped, he didn't expect that Old Man Wu had stepped on it in advance and had seen him.

Just when Laiyang didn't know how to reply, Old Man Wu suddenly got up, grabbed Laiyang's arm and was about to push it out, and said that he wouldn't rent it, don't waste your efforts.

"Uncle Wu, you wait, if it's a cost, we can talk about it again."

"I'm not short of that money, I hate it when people lie to me!"

"Yes, everyone hates to be deceived, but if you don't even give a chance to communicate, then everyone is a stranger to you, so whoever doesn't say a word or two well, you think he's insincere......"

Laiyang was muttering here, and the old man's hand suddenly relaxed.

He looked at Lai Yang with a very shocked expression.

At this time, Lai Yang also had a rough judgment in his heart.

Old man Wu is not short of money, but the arrangement of his home like this shows that he does not care about material requirements.

But even if he doesn't care, won't his children come to decorate?

Judging from his strong desire to control, he should have a very poor relationship with his children, so he closed himself off, became more and more stubborn, and distrusted others.

Seeing that he was relaxed, Lai Yang sighed and said; "This thing...... Can I talk to your child? Would you rather be a son or a daughter? ”

Old man Wu's eyes showed a rare tenderness, he looked up at Laiyang faintly like a wronged child, and said after a while that his daughter was not in Shanghai.

After saying that, he wiped his face with his withered fingers and continued; "I can give you a chance to communicate, but that doesn't mean I'll rent it to you, it's just ...... Never mind...... Let's start with that. ”

Laiyang looked at the old man, his Adam's apple moved, and he said slowly.

"The reason why I came to talk about that shop is mainly because I co-invested in the store with Aru, and I strongly opposed it when they invested, but there was no way, they were a couple. In addition, Aru was relatively strong at the time, and no one could stop it, and now that this kind of thing has happened, Aru's kid is a stunned young man, so only I came to talk to you, because once this shop is not rented, they will lose a lot. ”

"You're a girl?"

"Hmm."

Old Man Wu's face was expressionless, but Lai Yang saw that his hanging fingers were trembling slightly.

"Then since she doesn't listen to you, doesn't she deserve this consequence? Why do you want to help her? ”

Laiyang took a deep breath and touched his face.

"Whether I persuaded her at the beginning or helped her now, the purpose is to hope that she is good, not to prove that I am right."

Taking a breath of relief, Laiyang continued to look at Old Man Wu and said.

"Of course... After the accident, I was also angry that they didn't listen to me, but after thinking about it, they didn't listen, in fact, they didn't want to involve me in their entrepreneurial rights and wrongs, especially when I was young, she was actually kind of good to me...... Sometimes keeping your distance may be because you care. ”
