When I Saw The Returns, I Invested In My Future Wife First-Chapter 94 - To Have Something Fall into Your Lap? A Shop That Seeks Rent At A Low Price

94 To Have Something Fall into Your Lap? A Shop That Seeks Rent At A Low Price

Luo Feng and Ai Tingya felt that something was wrong. They had always felt that the landlord had no impression of them at all. Why did he suddenly call them to sign the contract?

“It’s better for us to be careful lest there’s a trap,” Ai Tingya said.

She had no one to rely on since she was young and could settle everything herself. She was especially vigilant about some things. In addition, she had just arrived at a new place and was unfamiliar with the place. She was very worried that they would be schemed against.

“I’m here. We’ll leave immediately if we realize that something’s wrong.” Luo Feng pulled Ai Tingya’s hand and pressed it against his chest. A strong heartbeat came from his palm, and all of Ai Tingya’s worries instantly disappeared.

The two of them took a taxi in order to avoid the landlord waiting too long.

Luo Feng saw the landlord standing at the door from across the street, looking around as if he was in a hurry. When the taxi stopped at the entrance of the shop, the landlord ran out enthusiastically and took the initiative to open the door for them.

This was not the treatment a tenant should receive…

Luo Feng pressed Ai Tingya behind him. The landlord had already turned around and returned to the house before he could speak. A contract was printed on Luo Feng’s face when he emerged again.

“Just sign it!” the landlord urged.

Luo Feng held the contract and said in surprise, “But we haven’t discussed the rent yet.”

The landlord flipped to the third page impatiently and pointed at a row of words. “This amount. Are you satisfied?”

Luo Feng looked down and was instantly stunned. Seeing this, Ai Tingya quickly ran up and gasped when she saw the amount!

“10,000 yuan a month?” Luo Feng was surprised.

“What? Do you think it’s too much?” The landlord was also surprised.

Their business district was near Oxford. The premise of ensuring an abundance of customers was that every inch of land was worth money! The shops nearby cost at least 40,000 to 50,000 yuan a month.

Even though 10,000 yuan was more expensive than Crown City, it was already considered a charity here.

Luo Feng waved his hand and said, “No, no, no. It’s too cheap, but can I ask why?”

The landlord refused directly. “No.”

Luo Feng and Ai Tingya looked at each other and nodded. Then, they said to the landlord, “Sorry, we still have to think about it.”

The landlord said anxiously, “What’s there to consider? Where else can it be cheaper than my offer?”

He really wanted to grab Luo Feng’s hand and sign it on his behalf! He looked like he expected better from someone. Why didn’t he take such a good deal? Others might not be able to receive preferential treatment even if they racked their brains!

“Thank you, thank you. Let’s go take a look at the others.” Luo Feng rejected decisively and pulled Ai Tingya away quickly.

The two of them walked for a while.

The more Ai Tingya thought about it, the stranger it became. “There’s no free lunch in the world. Did you see that just now? The landlord’s eyes are about to turn red from anxiety!”

Luo Feng nodded in agreement. “We’re not related. There’s no reason to give us such a big discount. Let’s find another shop.”

Luo Feng knew the importance of being cautious after experiencing two lifetimes. He did not dare to take advantage of this.

The two of them walked aimlessly around the business district. Luo Feng seized the opportunity to spend money on Ai Tingya. Soon, the two of them were carrying things in all four hands.

Ai Tingya’s calves were sore and she really couldn’t walk anymore.

“Let’s go back.” Ai Tingya stopped in her tracks. “Come out and look for it tomorrow.”

Luo Feng looked at the sun that was about to set and said, “Let’s go back after dinner. I heard from Yang Bo that there’s a delicious steak shop nearby. Let’s go try it.”

The steak sounded too extravagant. Ai Tingya did not want to spend money, but she was really tired and could only let Luo Feng lead her.

Luo Feng took the things from Ai Tingya and suddenly stopped after taking two steps.

He saw a familiar figure crossing the road at the intersection in front of him. It was the landlord. He looked very anxious and almost got hit by a car as he jogged.

Luo Feng pointed in the direction the landlord had run in and said, “Tingya, look at that person.”

The two of them watched the landlord run into a café and walk towards a white-haired old man by the window. The two of them could not suppress their curiosity and followed him.

They leaned against the glass and saw that the landlord was actually looking for Ai Zhaojiang!

The landlord hunched his back as if he was reporting something to Ai Zhaojiang. Luo Feng and Ai Tingya couldn’t hear him clearly because they were too far away. The two of them bent down and got closer and closer. Ai Tingya’s legs went weak, and she accidentally pounced on Luo Feng’s back and pushed him out.

Suddenly, a black shadow appeared in front of her. Ai Zhaojiang was also shocked. He looked up and met Luo Feng’s eyes.

This might be the most awkward few minutes in Ai Zhaojiang’s life. He stared at Luo Feng and happened to see Ai Tingya hiding behind him when he moved his gaze.

Luo Feng did not know whether to leave or stay. He pulled Ai Tingya into the cafe after struggling for a few minutes.

“Professor Ai, what a coincidence.” Luo Feng smiled and scratched his head.

“Yes, what a coincidence. Hahaha.” Ai Zhaojiang laughed dryly and looked at Ai Tingya uncontrollably.

The landlord, who was standing at the side, was at a loss. He remembered Ai Zhaojiang’s instructions not to expose the deeper reason for the shop’s rental. He lowered his head and did not dare to look at Luo Feng.

Luo Feng thought that since he was already here, he might as well figure things out.

He didn’t stand on ceremony and sat opposite Ai Zhaojiang. “Isn’t this the landlord? You know Professor Ai too?”

The landlord smiled and nodded, not daring to say anything else.

Ai Zhaojiang really wanted to throw Luo Feng out now. He had no choice but to answer such an obvious question. “Yes, we happened to meet here and chatted for a while.”

Luo Feng thought to himself that the landlord’s forehead was covered in sweat just now. He did not seem to have come to meet him by chance.

Luo Feng decided not to beat around the bush seeing that Ai Zhaojiang did not seem to want to tell the truth. “Professor Ai, is that shop yours?”

“Huh? What shop?” Ai Zhaojiang’s smile froze. This was the first time he was so annoyed with a smart junior.

Can you not expose my good intentions in front of my granddaughter! Ai Zhaojiang roared in his heart, and his good impression of Luo Feng decreased a little. He had no choice but to smile at him even though he disliked him.

Luo Feng chuckled and said, “Don’t hide it from us. Look at the landlord, he’s sweating profusely. This seems to be a forced chance encounter.”

Ai Zhaojiang was speechless.

He really wanted to lie to cover up this matter, but he was afraid of leaving a bad impression on Ai Tingya. Moreover, his mind went blank when he saw Ai Tingya. His 140 IQ went on strike.

...

At this moment, the landlord stood up heroically and said, “Aiya, Professor Ai, your habit of doing good deeds without leaving your name is still the same as before. Look, since the students have asked, tell the truth.”

The landlord winked and gave a secret signal. Ai Zhaojiang’s face was filled with “What are you talking about?”

The landlord could only continue to make up stories since the signal reception had failed. “Professor Ai keeps a low profile, so let me do the talking. He heard that it was not easy for a student to start a business, so he wanted to help you, so he came to me!”

Only then did Ai Zhaojiang react, nodding and echoing, “Yes, yes! He’s right!”
