“Comrade Ye.” Ye Ning turned her head when she heard the voice. This voice was too familiar. It was Director Liu.
“Director Liu.”
“I was planning to call you tomorrow.” Director Liu looked happy to see Ye Ning.
“Do you have a problem with me?” Ye Ning really didn’t understand why she was looking for her.
Director Liu looked around and said, “It’s too noisy outside. Can you come to my office to talk?”
Ye Ning nodded and took Ye Lan there with her. On the way, she saw that all the stores were doing booming business, and the ones that were not open were being renovated. So, it was very lively, no wonder the prices have increased.
“Comrade Ye Ning, I’m mainly looking for you this time because of your shops. Do you plan to run your own business or rent them out?” Director Liu asked Ye Ning and Ye Lan, taking an orange each.
“My family is either working or going to school, so no one can spare the time to open a store, so of course it needs to be rented out.” Ye Ning was right to say this, and it was not a lie.
Director Liu expressed his understanding that many people now knew how to make money by doing business, but they were still unwilling to quit their iron jobs.
“Many people have come to ask me whether you can rent out those shops. I have to say that you have a good sense. Although you spent a little more money at the time, you are now making more than others.”
Director Liu felt a little regretful that he was not determined enough to buy one, it cost 3,000 yuan. They also had an internal price, so he could buy it together. Now he could make money with Ye Ning and the others then.
The shop Ye Ning chose was in a prime location. The shop next door was rented a month ago and cost 30-40 yuan at the time. It would definitely be more than that now.
“Do you know who wants to rent my shop? I want to make it clear first that the rent of my shop is a little more expensive than the one next to it. If you are willing, you can sign the contract right away.” It was okay to leave it alone. But it was better to collect some rent.
Director Liu smiled and said: “He knows this. The person who wants to rent the shop is my friend who wants to open it for his wife. He is a very down-to-earth person. His wife loves to be clean and will not make the shop dirty. The price is also easy to negotiate. Who doesn’t now? We know that business in department stores is easy, and you can make money as long as you open it.”
“How much do you think is appropriate?” Ye Ning asked Director Liu directly.
Director Liu narrowed his eyes and said, “What do you think of 45 yuan?”
“Okay.” Ye Ning guessed that the price was just this, no matter how high it was, no one would rent it. “Then I’ll leave it to Director Liu. After the shop is rented out, I’ll treat you to dinner.”
“That’s right, there’s no need to eat.”
Director Liu sent the two sisters out. Seeing that they didn’t take any oranges, he hurriedly returned to the office and picked up a bag of oranges, which weighed about two or three kilograms. He caught up with them and said, “This is given by the work unit. It’s not a valuable thing.”
It was not easy to eat some fruit in this era. So, Ye Ning glanced at the yellow oranges and took them, “That person was disrespectful.”
Ye Lan didn’t say anything along the way. She was still in shock. Until she got home, then she screamed: “Sister, forty-five, forty-five yuan a month?”
“Yes, what’s wrong?” Ye Ning thought it was normal to rent forty-five yuan in her area, but she also thought it was on the low side.
“What’s wrong? Sister, it’s 45 yuan. Four rooms are 180 yuan, which is nearly 2,000 yuan a year. Every year, I don’t know how many times more than the salary it is.” Ye Lan counted with her fingers. “Sister, please help me take a look. If there are still shops, buy one for me.”
Ye Ning glanced at her and said, “Okay, if anyone sells it, I will tell you.”
She didn’t say to buy it directly. Don’t you think the price is too high? Even if she is a sister, she has to make her own decision.
When she went to work the next day, Ye Ning received a call from Director Liu, saying that all four shops were rented out at a price of 45 yuan. She was asked to sign the contract when she was free, so Ye Ning made an appointment after she got off work.
“I heard about the shop and rent. Do you want to rent a shop?” the deputy director asked with a smile.
“No, a relative asked me to help her look at shops in the city.” Ye Ning smiled and didn’t say much. Director Yang soon came in and everyone continued to work on the things at hand.
Today was still the day to pay wages. After lunch, everyone went to collect their wages. Ye Ning received her share, which was thirty-five yuan, and she chipped in another thirty-five yuan, for a total of seventy yuan.
“Director, how much does it cost for your bicycle?” Seeing Director Yang’s face darken, Ye Ning said quickly: “I went to ask. Your bike is 70% new and well maintained. It doesn’t need to be replaced at all. I know that the director in order to save face said that you would change your bicycle. Before, my family had a need, so I would ride it shamelessly. Now that I have received my salary and my family is rich, I have to give you the money.”
Seeing Ye Ning’s persistent look, Director Yang sighed lightly. She took the money and said, “If you need money, just tell me.”
“I know, thank you, director.”
