In any case, Pei Yinyin and Tan Hua were bound to meet sooner or later, so he wasn’t worried about the situation backfiring.

"Alright, let’s rent this place."

Qi Sheng made the decision on the spot, and the young agent showing them the property let out a breath of relief.

To please a high-maintenance client like Tan Hua, he’d run himself ragged these past few days.

It was always either the location was too remote or the rent was too high.

Now that this "princess" had finally made a decision,

he didn’t even care how much commission he’d make; at least the torture was finally over.

"Mr. Qi, you’ve made a wise choice. This retail space isn’t huge, but it’s absolutely perfect for a beauty salon."

"This area is a commercial district, so foot traffic is guaranteed."

"Plus, with the Central Ballet Troupe·Chengdu Art Education Base right next door, the parents dropping their kids off are definitely not short on cash."

"Just those wealthy wives alone will provide Ms. Tan’s new salon with a steady stream of high-spending clients."

The young agent was full of nothing but praise.

If he hadn’t seen how deserted the few open storefronts were, Qi Sheng might have actually believed him.

"Let’s talk price."

Qi Sheng waved his hand, cutting off the agent’s incessant spiel.

"This retail space is 480 square meters. The asking price for monthly rent is 48,000, with a minimum three-year contract."

"The deposit is six months’ rent, and the owner has agreed to a three-month rent-free period for renovations."

Qi Sheng frowned and countered without ceremony.

"That’s not a serious offer. The shops around here are dead."

"Go talk to the owner. The most we’ll accept is 40,000 a month."

"If they don’t accept, we’ll rent somewhere else."

"Er... I’ll go talk to the owner again, then."

The young agent could tell that Qi Sheng was the one calling the shots.

Naturally, he didn’t dare go against Qi Sheng’s wishes.

He’d worked so hard for so long; if this deal fell through,

it would be a total loss for him.

After some back and forth, the young agent finally managed to persuade the owner.

They agreed to rent the retail space to Tan Hua for 40,000 a month.

Once the contract was signed, the owner left the keys, handing the space over to Qi Sheng and Tan Hua.

Tan Hua thought about the 480,000 for the first year’s rent, plus the 240,000 for the six-month deposit.

They had already spent 720,000 before even doing anything.

Without Qi Sheng’s support, she never would have dared to even dream of this.

’I’m actually starting my own business!’

"Thank you, honey."

"No need. You’ve already shown me your gratitude."

Qi Sheng teased her with a smile, trying to lighten her mood and ease her pressure.

"You’re impossible," she retorted playfully. "I’m going to call Miduo and Xu Ying and ask them to come over and help me brainstorm."

"Okay. For the renovations, you can hand it over to Peng Qingsong. He’s a professional." 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

Qi Sheng himself had Master Level design skills.

But he was too lazy to bother with blueprints; being a slacker suited him better.

"Okay, I’ll get in touch with Designer Peng."

Peng Qingsong was currently frowning over the orders from the three "boss ladies."

He suddenly sneezed, wondering who was talking about him.

Each of these three "boss ladies" was more difficult to please than the last.

Miduo was the easiest of the bunch.

Her general style for the interior decor was already decided, so he just had to help with the purchasing.

Pei Yinyin wasn’t too bad either. She wanted her home to have a simple and elegant design.

A place that felt clean and bright the moment she walked in.

It was Xu Ying’s request that was the most difficult to deal with.

"Make it a place the big boss loves so much he’ll come home often." Wasn’t that making things difficult for a guy like him?

Fortunately, he wouldn’t have to struggle with it for much longer.

When it came to Tan Hua, the undisputed head wife,

he, Qiu Lei, and Gu Feng had long since formed a united front.

They had to treat her with even more respect than the other "boss ladies."

With Tan Hua’s project taking precedence, Xu Ying stopped giving him a hard time.

She picked a decor plan she was reasonably happy with and told him to get on with it.

Shengxuan Decoration had only recently been established, at almost the same time as Shengxuan Real Estate.

Compared to the latter, which had immediately made a splash by renaming Mingyu Financial Square as the Shengxuan Financial Center,

their Shengxuan Decoration’s most significant orders, for now, actually came from the boss’s various ladies.

It was a bit laughable, and also a bit sad.

But Peng Qingsong firmly believed that as long as he followed his boss, his future was definitely bright.

But for now, the most important thing was to stay in the good graces of the number one "boss lady," Tan Hua.
