Reborn in the Eighties as a Housewife with a Space-Chapter 689 - 683: Want to Rent a Shop

Chapter 689: Chapter 683: Want to Rent a Shop

Now these two came to inquire, he didn’t know if he could rent it out this time. If he fails to rent it out again, he might have to give in to that person’s wish.

But after understanding the full situation, he was even less willing to give in to that person. Because all this was that person’s plotting, he was helpless. That person had connections he couldn’t compete with. So, he had no choice but to hang on while unable to do any business.

“So, boss, what is the price for this shop?” Qin Lei asked.

“It’s a bit high. Honestly, I actually wanted to rent out this shop, but now I’m thinking of selling it.” The boss thought, are you trying to corner me so I have no choice but to sell it to you at a low price?

Let me just sell it now then. What are you going to do about it? Will you dare to kill me?

“You can quote a price and we can consider if it’s acceptable,” Qin Lei pondered. This shop is around ten square meters, quite a bit small. If the price is too high, it wouldn’t be worth it.

“US$ 1,200.” The boss said the price he had in mind.

“Boss, could you give us a fairer price? The location is indeed good yet it seems like you’re not doing so well here, based on the length of time your rental notice has been up, right?” Qin Lei felt he had a handle on the situation.

“Eh, how do you know that no one is interested to rent or take over my shop?” The boss was taken aback. Was this guy also involved?

“The way you say it, isn’t it pretty clear to the naked eye? Why do you need to ask how I know?” Qin Lei gave a nonchalant smile while speaking.

“What do you mean, are you also involved in this?” The boss angrily asked Qin Lei and Nangong Shulan.

“I don’t understand what you mean by ‘involved’, but look at the fading letters on your notice. It’s obvious it’s been up for quite some time. If it weren’t like this… given such a prime location, if there’s such a situation, then there could only be two possibilities. One is that there’s an issue with your food.

The other is someone is targeting you, and you simply lack the power to fight back, hence the reason why your shop is simply left idle. Am I right?” Qin Lei said, looking at the shop owner whose face was changing color. It seemed he had guessed correctly.

Back in the village, Qin Lei heard about a shop whose food nearly poisoned someone to death. Judging from the situation now, that shop must have been this one.

If that’s the case, then there’s room for negotiation on the price. He just didn’t know who this shop owner had offended to be treated so ruthlessly?

Qin Lei knew that his attempted takeover of the shop might also invite trouble. But he wanted to provide a stable life for his wife and family.

He lacked the means in the past, but now that his child was grown up, he wanted to take a chance, make the gamble.

Because only through this struggle, would he know his capabilities. And only then, would he live without regrets.

So even knowing what might come ahead, he did not want to let go, let alone be afraid.
