47 Reverse Bargaining, Are You Alright?
“It’s almost time for evening self-study. Why are the two of you still wandering outside? You can’t be proud even if your results are good.” Teacher Yu muttered. The two in front of her were important subjects of protection. She could not be careless.
“Teacher Yu, we’re looking for a shop for rent. We’ll go back after walking around a bit more.” Ai Tingya said honestly.
Teacher Yu pushed the electric scooter and said, “Why are you looking for a shop for rent? Do you want to open a shop?”
Luo Feng said that the search was a request from Dean Du and only said that they were helping.
Teacher Yu felt that this was a good thing. She had always taken good care of Ai Tingya and would leave any subsidy opportunities for her. She was willing to help if she could.
“Why didn’t you tell me earlier?” Teacher Yu smiled and said, “The steamed bun shop in front is owned by my friend. He’s going to rent it out soon.”
Luo Feng heard that it was such a coincidence: “Then please take us there”
“Please”? Teacher Yu was jolted awake by the sudden respect in his voice and stopped in front of a shop called the Rich Breakfast Shop. There were still two steamed buns in the steamer.
There was a wall in the middle of the shop. The 60 square meters shop was divided into two halves. Luo Feng felt that this shop was a little small, but they could rent it since the location was suitable.
After Teacher Yu went into the inner room asked them to come out once she confirmed that they wanted to rent it out.
“He’s my junior high school classmate. His surname is Guan. You can call him Uncle Guan,” Teacher Yu introduced.
Behind her was a burly man with dark skin and an honest smile on his face. His mouth was wide open, revealing a row of white glowing teeth.
“Hello, Uncle Guan.” Luo Feng and Ai Tingya greeted obediently.
Uncle Guan looked at Teacher Yu shyly. The man’s face was a little red with other emotions.
“Are the two of you the ones who want to rent a shop?” Uncle Guan asked.
He had heard Teacher Yu tell him the general story when he was inside just now. He was a little surprised when he heard that the students wanted to rent a shop. He did not expect it to be true.
“Yes, Uncle Guan, when are you going to rent this shop out?” Luo Feng said.
“Before the end of this month. Breakfast is too exhausting. I’m preparing to change my profession. When will you come over to settle the procedures?”
“How does tomorrow sound?”
“Alright, what kind of shop are you going to open? I’ll leave everything you can use for you,” Uncle Guan said readily. He glanced at Teacher Yu again as he spoke. His meaning was too obvious. This was all because of Teacher Yu.
“We are going to open a milk tea shop.” Luo Feng replied.
“My shop is a little big if you want to open a milk tea shop.” In Uncle Guan’s impression, there were very few shops that only sold milk tea because a pile of flavored milk tea powder could not take up a large area. A small glass cabinet could do it. Such snack shops would have fried skewers of snacks tied up and sold.
“Maybe there will be desserts in the future.” Luo Feng said.
“Alright then. I won’t lie to you on account that you’re Teacher Yu’s students. I paid 80,000 yuan for a year’s rent. Adding in the 90,000 yuan transfer fee, and it’s a total of 150,000 yuan. I really didn’t earn anything from you.”
Uncle Guan gave a very honest price without the teacher’s hint.
Luo Feng believed that what he said was true. The shop was near the school and there would definitely be a lot of people. Moreover, 80,000 yuan might be a price that could only be obtained if they knew someone.
Ai Tingya was very tempted, but Luo Feng did not continue.
“What’s wrong? Do you think the price is inappropriate?” Teacher Yu was also very surprised.
“No” Luo Feng shook his head, “Uncle Guan, I think this price…”
“You want it to be lower?”
“It has to be higher.” Luo Feng extended two fingers, “200,000 yuan.”
???
Uncle Guan frowned and glanced at Teacher Yu. He was sure that he had not heard wrongly from the expression on her face. This child was really raising the price. He felt that 150,000 yuan was too low. He would spend 50,000 yuan more.
“Are you alright, child?” Teacher Yu touched Luo Feng’s forehead. He didn’t have a fever.
“I’m serious. I just don’t think you should suffer, Uncle Guan. It’s not easy for everyone to earn money, yet you left something for us. I think 200,000 yuan to rent this shop is worth it.”
Luo Feng’s face was very serious, but he was scheming behind his back.
Uncle Guan was touched. “Xiao Yu, you taught your student too well. How could you teach him so well?”
He was speechless and did not know how to praise her. He slapped his thigh happily.
Luo Feng continued to make it even more difficult to refuse. “Teacher Yu has always been our most respected teacher. How can we let her friend suffer if we get her help? Moreover, I felt that you are very kind the first time I saw you, Uncle Guan. We might even interact more in the future.”
Teacher Yu could not stop smiling hearing the praises for her, so much so that she forgot that class was already starting.
Luo Feng signed a sublet contract with him on the spot and transferred the money to him in order to prevent Uncle Guan from remembering that he was doing business with the orphanage.
However, the returns did not enter his account directly this time to his surprise.
Luo Feng sat in the classroom without reading a single page of his book at night. He kept fiddling with his phone, thinking about when the returns would arrive.
“Are you feeling unwell? Why are you so restless?” Ai Tingya sensed that Luo Feng was swaying uneasily as if he was sitting on a nail chair.
She had long known about Luo Feng’s habit of bargaining in the opposite direction. This was the first time he looked so uneasy.
“It’s nothing. I just don’t feel at ease renting a place. I feel like something’s missing.”
Why isn’t the money in my account yet!
Ai Tingya thought for a moment and said, “By the way, the Dean told me that you wanted to give the orphanage some shares. I think you…”
“That is it!” Luo Feng came to a realization and happily cupped Ai Tingya’s face and kissed her.
It was just that he had forgotten to give the orphanage shares, causing the rented shop to not constitute an investment.
“I’m going to the computer room to type up a share transfer contract. Help me cover up”. After Luo Feng finished speaking, he grabbed a cover book and ran out of the classroom.
Ai Tingya was stunned by his kiss. Luo Feng was already gone when she reacted.
She touched the place where she was kissed and felt that it was still a little hot. She wanted to tell Luo Feng not to give them the shares and just give the staff a salary when he makes a profit. 200,000 yuan was too much anyway. She doesn’t know when she will be able to earn it back.
“Seriously.” Ai Tingya leaned on the table and covered her face as she muttered to herself, “How am I supposed to repay you…”
She might really have to marry Luo Feng after all that he had done for her.
“Ahem!”
A very deliberate cough came from behind.
Ai Tingya turned around and realized that the entire class was looking at her.
The students were originally quietly reading when they suddenly saw Luo Feng and Ai Tingya kissing from the corner of their eyes. Luo Feng ran away after kissing her.
“Student Ai Tingya, single dogs are innocent.” The student beside her reminded kindly.
