Chapter 224: 136 A Family Unites (First Update)_2
He sought out Lin Chengye, patted him on the shoulder and said, “Are you still troubled by the fact you can’t do your homework? Are you losing hair because you can’t write an eight-part essay? Premium tutoring for your upcoming exams. Exceptional pricing, with a half refund if it’s ineffective.”
Lin Chengye: “…”
When Gu Jiao met with the second landlord again, she had as much silver as he did.
The second landlord: … It’s puzzling.
Having been a landlord for so many years, he had some connections. He didn’t need Gu Jiao to worry about recruiting, their biggest concern now was where to open the Medical Hall.
For Gu Jiao’s sake, it would be best to open it near Guozijian.
Gu Jiao brought in a protector, Zhang Baoren.
Zhang Baoren led the two to survey the shops and mansions on Chang’an Avenue and Xuanwu Avenue. Chang’an Avenue had a higher traffic flow, it was more bustling, but all the good shops had been rented out. The remaining ones were either too expensive or too shabby, no wonder they couldn’t be rented out.
“Should we go see Xuanwu Avenue?” said Zhang Baoren.
Business on Xuanwu Avenue wasn’t as lively, but business-wise, it was preferable.
Zhang Baoren laughed, “Xuanwu Avenue is closer to Guozijian, the business there won’t be bad!”
“Let’s take a look.” Gu Jiao said.
“Alright, then.” the second landlord sighed.
The trio started down Xuanwu Avenue. Frankly, this street seemed more orderly and planned than Chang’an Avenue, just less populated.
Zhang Baoren pointed out a house to the two. “This place was originally a residence, and it was turned into a shop later on. What do you two think of it?”
This shop was much better than the ones on Chang’an Avenue. However, the second landlord was more inclined towards the one next door.
“That one has already been bought by someone,” Zhang Baoren said.
“How much for this one?” asked the second landlord.
“Three hundred taels,” Zhang Baoren replied.
“Th-three hundred taels?” The second landlord felt like he had misheard.
Zhang Baoren chuckled, “Yeah, one year’s payment in advance, with a security deposit of a thousand taels.”
“Y-you’re too expensive!” protested the second landlord. Being a resident of the Capital City, even he couldn’t help but find the price a little hard to swallow.
