Return To 1998

By the way, why do you look familiar to me? Wait a minute, let me think about it...

Without waiting for Tongdao Xu to answer, the owner, Boss Liu, stared at Tongdao Xu and suddenly said something like this.

Xu Tongdao smiled slightly, and it is estimated that Boss Liu should recognize him a little. After all, he and Xu Tonglin have set up a stall across the road for more than two months. This Boss Liu's beef noodle restaurant and his barbecue stall are only across the road. , it's entirely possible to see him occasionally.

After thinking about it, Tongdao Xu simply extended his right hand to him, Brother Liu, you have good eyesight, I sell barbecue across the road, my surname is Xu, you can just call me Xiao Xu!

Boss Liu stared blankly at Tongdao Xu. It took a while for him to react, and he suddenly slapped his forehead, Oh! It's really you! That's right! It's you, you are selling barbecue across the street, hello hello!

Then he quickly reached out and shook hands with Xu Tongdao, By the way, Xiao Xu, you just asked me about the rent here, do you want to open a shop? Don't want to set up a street stall anymore? I think your barbecue business is very good. Ah! Yes, your business is so good, you should rent a storefront, are you... do you want to rent the store next to me?

Tongdao Xu smiled, and opened his mouth to make up a nonsense to the other party, Almost! But, Brother Liu, to be honest, I actually want to rent your current room, but I don't know if you are interested in subletting this storefront. give me?

Boss Liu was a little confused, he let go of Xu Tongdao and asked: No, the next door is empty, you don't want to rent but you want to rent me? Why?

Because I'm lying to you!

Tongdao Xu was playing dumb, but what he said was: Brother Liu, because you have a ready-made kitchen, pots and pans here, and there are also these tables, chairs and benches in the hall! The next door doesn't seem to be a restaurant before. Right? If I rent the room next door, I rent it, and I have to pay for someone to decorate it myself, which is both expensive and time-consuming, so…”

Speaking of this, Tongdao Xu smiled and raised his chin at him, Brother Liu, do you understand?

Boss Liu frowned and thought for a while, then slowly revealed a sudden smile, nodding forcefully, Well, I understand, I understand! Yes, you are right! Your brain is really suitable for business! You are thinking too much. Well, but, do you really want to rent my storefront? This...that...you want to take over all the things in my kitchen and the tables, chairs and benches in the hall, right? Uh...this, how much are you going to give me? Woolen cloth?

Xu Tongdao saw that he not only did not refuse, but also took the initiative to ask the price, and he was settled.

Smiling, Tongdao Xu gestured, Brother Liu, why don't you make a price?

...

About half an hour later, Xu Tongdao and Xu Tonglin came out of this beef noodle restaurant. Boss Liu warmly sent them out.

Just now, Tongdao Xu had already negotiated the price of subletting this store with this boss Liu.

In view of this storefront, the boss Liu has used it for more than half a year, and there is still five and a half months of rent left. Naturally, the rent is not calculated by one year. Both parties are satisfied.

And all the kitchen equipment in the store, including the tables and chairs in the front hall, are discounted by 3,000 yuan, and the final total price is 6,500 yuan.

The two parties agreed to formally sign the contract and make payment in this store tomorrow.

Xu Tongdao could see it - this boss Liu is very simple and lacks businessman experience.

Because this boss Liu just made a verbal agreement with him and didn't even ask him to pay a deposit.

When he came out of Boss Liu's store and passed the store with a rental notice next to it, Tongdao Xu glanced at the rental notice on the door.

He quietly and silently wrote down the contact number on the rental notice, which was a landline phone number.

Xu Tonglin happily left with Xu Tongdao, not noticing Xu Tongdao's small movements,

Xu Tonglin lowered his voice and kept saying happily, Xiaodao, you really belong to me! I didn't expect that Boss Liu would really be willing to rent his store to us, by the way, how did you see that he might sell the storefront to us? Rent it to us? Hey, that's not right! Didn't you want to rent at least two storefronts? Why did you only rent that one? Xiaodao, did you change your mind temporarily?

No!

Xu Tongdao said, and stopped by the roadside. At this time, they were already 20 to 30 meters away from Boss Liu's beef noodle restaurant.

Seeing that he suddenly stopped, Xu Tonglin felt strange, Huh? Why didn't you leave? Is there anything else?

Xu Tongdao looked at both ends of the road. Seeing that there were no cars on the road, he walked straight across the road. Xu Tonglin was very puzzled, but he quickly followed.

Xiao Dao, what are you doing here?

Call the landlord of the store next door! If we can't agree on the rent of this store, what we talked to Boss Liu just now will be useless!

what?

Xu Tonglin was startled, and while chasing Xu Tongdao quickly, he asked in surprise: Xiaodao, you mean that if we can't rent the empty store next to it, then Boss Liu's store just now, we, we won't rent it? Let's do it? Didn't you already talk to Boss Liu to sign the contract and pay tomorrow?

Yeah! But haven't we signed and paid yet?

Tongdao Xu didn't even look at him, and answered casually.

Xu Tonglin opened his mouth and was speechless, he only knew that he looked at Xu Tongdao in surprise.

Because since childhood, teachers did not teach them this way! Teachers always say: Be a person with credit! People don't believe in anything.

Tongdao Xu... Tongdao Xu doesn't listen to the teacher...

Fortunately, he didn't say it out loud, otherwise Xu Tongdao would probably have casually replied to him - I have already paid back what the teachers taught me, but they haven't paid me back the tuition I paid so far. , it's the teachers who don't talk about credit first...

After a while, Tongdao Xu walked quickly to Aunt Wang's newsstand, reached out and picked up the phone of the newsstand, and smiled at Aunt Wang: Auntie Wang, let me make a call!

Sitting in the newsstand, Auntie Wang, who was knitting a sweater, smiled back, Well, you hit me!

Tongdao Xu skillfully dialed the number he had just memorized in his heart, but he did not expect that there was a phone call from a small shop.

Five minutes is not long, but it will take a while.

Putting down the phone, Tongdao Xu looked at Auntie Wang in the newsstand, his mind flashed past his charming affair with his daughter Wu Yali last night, Tongdao Xu felt a little embarrassed.

If Wu Yali was a few years younger, if she had never been married and had no daughter, then Auntie Wang should now be his future mother-in-law.

It's a pity that there are so many obstacles between him and Wu Yali.

But that didn't stop him from wanting to chat with Aunt Wang, Aunt Wang, it's raining these two days, will Sister Yali come to have dinner?

Aunt Wang: I shouldn't come today! Let's see if it will rain before the evening! If it doesn't rain, she should come. If it rains, she probably won't come.
