Chapter 126: Red Crocus

[Turn over: seize the opportunity. 】

"Not really, you've dropped too much." Mr. Pan only said that it was too much, but he didn't say how much.

Duan Yiqiao knew that the other party was actually a little difficult to raise the price again, after all, he had already figured out the surrounding store rents, and the other party would not be able to insist on it anymore.

Of course, there are still many tenants, and if Mr. Pan doesn't let go, he will wait for the next tenant to talk. Duan Yiqiao understands this.

But Mr. Pan's rent is indeed too high, and he has to grind it again.

"Mr. Pan, otherwise, it would be six thousand nine in the first year, seven thousand two in the second year, and seven thousand five in the third year, how about it?"

Mr. Pan stretched out his hand and patted Duan Yiqiao's shoulder, "Young man, you are really amazing, it seems that it has risen every year, but it has not risen much. You, tell me a price."

Duan Yiqiao hurriedly said, "Mr. Pan, don't go up, business is really not good. Otherwise, in the future, you will get a 20% discount on everything you spend in my store, including the bar."

Mr. Pan shook his head, "Oh, you, it seems that you are giving me a discount, but in fact, you are just asking me to spend it for you, you are really smart."

"Then Mr. Pan also said that he had been to the bar before, right, shouldn't this be the discount given by Mr. Pan's preference?" Duan Yiqiao paid attention to Mr. Pan's eyes, a little flickering, he should have been moved by him.

They were silent for a while, and after a while, Mr. Pan finally agreed to Duan Yiqiao, and the two were scheduled to sign the contract tomorrow.

The new store has also been decided.

After Mr. Pan left, Duan Yiqiao continued to stay in the shop, and he had to think about how to decorate it.

Not long after watching it, Ai Shangni sent him a WeChat video.

"Where are you, there's a mess behind your back."

"In the newly rented shop, the previous family has moved away, and it must be a mess!"

"So, the new store is confirmed, where is it? You show me inside and around the room."

Duan Yiqiao pointed the camera indoors, slowly swept around, and roughly explained which position was to be arranged.

"Is this shop smaller than your coffee shop?"

"Yes, it's smaller, but it's in a good location, you can wait a minute."

He walked outside with his phone and swept the camera to the left and right and in front of him, "Does it feel familiar?"

Ai Shangni, who was on the other side of the video, looked at the shops one after another, his eyes were very familiar, and he thought about it, "Shouldn't it be the student street?"

"It's Student Street." Duan Yiqiao turned around and walked back to the store, "Do you remember the glasses barbecue restaurant?" I saw Ai Shangni nodded, and he continued, "It's about a hundred meters away from it, in the same direction."

"That's great, it's a great location, business is going to be good." She was very happy for him, and smiled from ear to ear.

"Hopefully!"

Ai Shangni suddenly looked depressed, "I want to go back to school early."

"Stay at home for a few more days, or you will have to be at school for a long time before you can be with your family." As he spoke, he ripped off a crumbling piece of product advertising paper on the wall.

"Yes, you're busy. We'll have a good talk when we're free."

"Okay." Just as he was about to hang up, suddenly, "Wait a minute, I want to ask you something."

Ai Shangni waited for him to speak, but saw that he stopped talking, "What are you going to say to me?"

"Let's wait until you go back to school, hang up."

Ai Shangni wondered if he wanted to say it but didn't, "Oh, bye-bye~"

After hanging up the video, Duan Yiqiao saw a message in WeChat, which was sent to him by Xiao Shangzun.

[Are you free at night?] Eating together? 】

Duan Yiqiao glanced at the store, and the decoration had to be planned, but it was not so much that there was no time to eat.

[Yes, you can set the time and place and send it to me.] 】

It didn't take long for Xiao Shangzun to reply, [Six o'clock, Abu barbecue restaurant. 】

【Good!】 】

Xiao Shangzun suddenly made an appointment for dinner, and Duan Yiqiao also felt brutal

Outside, they hadn't eaten together alone for a long time. Duan Yiqiao, who didn't know what was going on, could only wonder if he knew that he had returned to Dongyu District and specially invited him to dinner.

Duan Yiqiao left the store first and came to the Spring Bookstore.

The clerk Ah Sheng went to work a few days late, and Duan Guangping was the only one in the store, and he was sorting out books in front of the bookshelf. The quiet bookstore made him feel very peaceful. Looking at his mental state, no one will think that he has ever been crazy, and even now he has been sick from time to time.

"Dad~" Duan Yiqiao, who was standing at the door of the store, shouted Duan Guangping.

Duan Guangping, who heard the sound, smiled lightly, "Yiqiao is here, come in!"

Duan Yiqiao strode in and came to his side to help.

Whether it was before or after the family change, Duan Guangping's habit of loving tidiness has not changed, as long as he is sober, he does not allow chaos in front of him.

Everything in the bookstore was neatly organized by him, sometimes, Ah Sheng didn't pay attention, and he messed up something, he was inevitably nagged by Duan Guangping, Ah Sheng had a good temper, and he never got impatient or argued with him.

After all, before Ah Sheng contacted Duan Guangping, Duan Yiqiao and Shen Ruyun told Duan Guangping that Duan Guangping's situation was similar to him, and he was also empathetic, and while being a competent clerk, he also tried to tolerate everything about Duan Guangping.

"Dad~ I'm going to see the store again in the afternoon..... It's settled."

Duan Guangping didn't respond immediately, his hands didn't stop, he just was silent for a while. Duan Yiqiao looked at him with his peripheral vision, and saw that his expression was flat, but there was nothing unusual.

Just when Duan Yiqiao thought that he didn't want to talk to him about it, he opened his mouth and asked, "Where?"

"Student Street."

"That's good, there's a need for Dad, Ihashi said."

"I know, Dad." Duan Guangping's calmness made Duan Yiqiao very happy and unobstructed.

After Duan Guangping put away the few books in his hand, he clapped his hands, "Let's go to the counter and sit down."

The two walked out of the bookshelf aisle one after the other and came to the corridor against the wall outside the bookshelf. Duan Yiqiao looked at Duan Guangping who was walking in front, his body was no longer as tall as before the family change, and even, even slightly hunched, his steps were sinking, and he was not as brisk as before.

Duan Guangping became a lot more humble.

Duan Yiqiao can be said to have watched his father change bit by bit from a proud businessman to such an obscure bookstore operator today, and he felt so distressed that he wanted to cry when he thought about it.

Duan Guangping walked to the tea area and took two cups, and Duan Yiqiao took it, "Dad, I'll come, you sit down first."

"Okay, here you go." As he spoke, he pulled out two chairs and went to the counter next to the cash register, where there were fewer books.

Duan Yiqiao looked at the entire tea area, basically his father and Ah Sheng were using it, and there were also people who usually came to the store to read books and fill water, but they couldn't enter this tea area. There is a special drinking place in the store, and there is both hot and cold water.

The entire tea area is clean and spotless, and Duan Guang usually cleans it from time to time.

Duan Yiqiao poured two cups of hot water, handed one to his father, and sat down.

Duan Guangping held the water cup and said, "Regarding the opening of the store, your mother told me, and I don't agree."

"I know, Dad."

"Whether you understand it or not, Dad has his own considerations. But come to think of it, you're right. I was bitten by a snake for ten years, and I was afraid of the well rope, and I couldn't listen to me."

Duan Guangping's gloomy eyes had long since lost his previous confidence and firmness.

"Dad~~" Duan Yiqiao called him distressedly.

Duan Guangping took a sip of hot water from his water cup, "Dad knows, you want to make more money and redeem our old bungalow from your Uncle Ye. It's Daddy who is useless and makes you take on all this."

At this time, Duan Guangping was sober, he remembered that the old house was mortgaged, as well as the three paints, but he didn't know that his son mortgaged his marriage. It was Duan Yiqiao who let his family hide it from him.

At first, he also wondered how Yemo could borrow that from the old bungalow and paint

More money for his family. The family never mentioned the marriage contract between Duan Yiqiao and Ye Enna, and said that Ye Mo Nian borrowed it from his brotherhood.

Duan Guangping was skeptical, but he didn't ask any more questions, and when he asked, he couldn't help anything.

"Dad, don't say that. If it weren't for the bad guy who took the money, how could you be like this, and you blame him."

Duan Guangping pulled the corners of his mouth, wanting to laugh but couldn't, "That's also a problem with Dad's knowledge."

Duan Yiqiao stretched out his right hand and stroked his father's arm, "Dad, you have to believe that everything will be fine."

His son is so sensible and capable, Duan Guangping is very pleased, but he also feels guilty that all the sins he has created are borne by his son. He knew his condition, and he didn't know when he would have another attack. The only expectation is to take this bookstore well, perhaps the greatest help to his son.

Unintentionally, Duan Guangping's eyes were moist.

"Dad~" Duan Yiqiao grabbed his father's hand tighter.

Duan Guangping reached out and patted him lightly, pulled the corners of his mouth, and smiled, "Dad is fine. While I'm very conscious now, I'll talk to you about it."

"Dad~ Just say it, I'll listen."

"The land where our unfinished building and shopping mall are located, the development right is still ours. Hold on to it, and don't fall into the hands of others.

That day, I heard from one of your uncles that there was a new director of the Urban Construction Bureau in our Xidao District. Then our piece of land will be worth a lot of money again.

As soon as the wind blows, you don't have to wait for the papers to come down, someone will find you and your mother. Everyone knows my mental condition, I can't be the master, I usually don't look for me, even if I look for me, I will push it away. Then they will come to you, you remember, cooperation, investment, etc., etc., but the development rights must be firmly in your hands.

There will definitely be people who will offer to buy that piece of land at a high price, but no matter how much they pay, it will not exceed the profit we expect, so you and your mother must grasp it."

Duan Yiqiao nodded earnestly when he heard this, "I understand, Dad. If that happens, my mother and I will talk to you about it."

"Alright, alright, let's discuss it together. Dad couldn't come up with anything else to make money to pay off his debts, except for the unfinished building and the mall. By the way, I see that you always have a building structure design in your room, especially like a shopping mall, are you?"

"Hmm." Duan Yiqiao smiled, "Dad, didn't you just say that the development rights should be held in your hands, I thought that the mall had just laid the foundation, and it was stopped before even the basic structure came out. All the teams before my dad were gone, and if I had the chance, I wanted me to design the mall, so I've been drawing the design of the mall."

"Really?" Duan Guangping looked very happy and looked at his son proudly.

At this time, Duan Yiqiao saw some joy in Duan Guangping's eyes.

"Really, Dad. I will try my best to study my major, and I will also consult the professors in my major for guidance. Don't worry, if our land is redeveloped, I will seize the opportunity to let our family pay off the debt."
