68: Chapter 68 Is this keeping a mistress? This is training assassins!

Zhang Ling parked the car and immediately took out the keys to open the door.

"Boss Jiang, would you like to come in and take a look?"

Jiang Li took a quick look around and felt it was pretty good, so he decided to settle on it.

The shop's renovation was ready, the equipment was ready, and he could open for business after restocking some flowers later. It was much less trouble than looking for a new shop.

Jiang Li wandered around for a moment, then turned to look at Zhang Ling.

Zhang Ling's heart immediately tightened.

Did he not like it?

In her view, Jiang Li was just walking in, taking a look, and getting ready to leave.

That wouldn't do.

It had been hard enough to find someone who actually wanted to buy it; she couldn't let him just run off like that.

"Boss Jiang, my shop really is quite nice."

Zhang Ling hurriedly added, "I put a lot of thought into the renovation back then."

"If it weren't for some sudden trouble at home that required a sum of money for turnover, I certainly wouldn't be selling it."

"Besides, after taking over the shop, you won't need major renovations; you can start business just by restocking some flowers."

"The price is also negotiable."

"If you haven't made up your mind yet, we can go upstairs and take a look."

Seeing Zhang Ling so anxious, Jiang Li knew she had misunderstood.

But he couldn't be bothered to explain.

Although the money spent this time was from Wang Yaoyao's exclusive consumption fund, exclusive consumption funds were still money.

Saving a little bit is always better than nothing.

System reimbursement is one thing, but Jiang Li wasn't an honor graduate of the "Sucker Training Academy."

"Then let's go up and take a look."

Jiang Li said, "We can talk while we look."

Zhang Ling was visibly relieved and hurriedly led the way.

Wang Hui followed along as well.

The group headed up the stairs to the second floor.

The second floor was even more complete than Jiang Li had imagined.

It hadn't been turned into a regular warehouse but was partitioned into several small private rooms.

Each room had a small sign on the door, and the names were quite artistic.

"White Moonlight," "Spring Mailbox," and there was even one called "Free Tonight..."

Seeing that last name, the corner of Jiang Li's mouth twitched.

He had to admit, this proprietress really understood her customers.

Zhang Ling explained somewhat embarrassedly, "I saw the second floor was always sitting idle before, so I turned it into small private rooms for couples on dates."

"Usually, when I couldn't sell all the flowers and some were still in good condition, I'd use them for decoration."

"This way, I could sell flowers on the first floor and take reservations for the second."

"Although I didn't make a huge amount, the regular customers were quite stable."

Wang Yaoyao's eyes lit up even more as she listened.

She had originally just liked flowers.

Now that she discovered this flower shop could pull off such tricks, her interest immediately spiked.

Zhang Ling pushed open one of the rooms.

The inside was spread with quite a few red roses.

There was a vase on the table, small lights along the walls, and some petals scattered on the floor.

It wasn't large, but it certainly had the right atmosphere.

Wang Yaoyao couldn't help but whisper, "This is so pretty."

Jiang Li stood at the doorway for two seconds, his mouth twitching uncontrollably.

With this kind of talent for decoration, why open a flower shop?

She should have opened a themed hotel sooner; she might have made a fortune long ago.

But then again, this environment was definitely usable.

Once Wang Yaoyao took over, as long as she got familiar with the procedures and added some more flowers and promotions, she could basically keep it running.

It was more time-saving and effortless than a new renovation.

Jiang Li looked at Zhang Ling, "How much do you intend to sell it for?"

Zhang Ling was stunned for a moment.

She hadn't expected Jiang Li to be so direct.

Just a moment ago, she was preparing to continue introducing the freezers, flower racks, customer base, renovation, and she even wanted to talk about how many orders she'd sold in a single day during the Qixi Festival.

As it turned out, Jiang Li asked directly about the price.

It was like she had just set up her posture to take an exam, and the other party had handed her the answer key right away.

Zhang Ling instinctively looked at Wang Hui.

Wang Hui immediately took over the conversation.

"Boss Jiang, based on the current shop prices here in Fanxing County, most street-front shops are around eleven thousand per square meter."

"However, this shop has two levels."

"The price of the second floor certainly cannot be calculated exactly the same as the first."

She thought for a moment and added, "The total area is about one hundred and fifty square meters."

"If estimated at market price, the whole thing would be around 1.1 million."

"Of course, I can't easily account for the renovation and equipment directly."

Wang Hui spoke quite objectively; this was indeed the market price.

However, Zhang Ling didn't quite think so.

In the current market, if she really listed it at market price, it was hard to say if it would sell.

She had already asked several agents.

Those who came to look either complained that a flower shop was hard to transfer or wanted to ruthlessly drive down the price.

Some people claimed they were sincere buyers, but in the end, their offers were enough to give someone high blood pressure on the spot.

Zhang Ling didn't want to drag this out any longer; the matters at home couldn't wait for the next customer.

She took a deep breath and looked at Jiang Li.

"Boss Jiang."

"How about this."

"I won't give you a fake quote."

"I'll sell you this shop, including the property, the renovation, and all the equipment inside, for one million."

"I'll just consider the renovation as a freebie."

After saying this, Zhang Ling felt a little ache in her heart.

She had spent over three hundred thousand just on the renovation of this shop.

Although the price when she first bought the property wasn't high, selling it for one million now meant she wouldn't really be losing much if she did the math carefully.

But selling a shop she had put so much effort into building up still didn't feel good.

But there was no other way; this shop had reached the point where it had to be sold.

Wang Hui didn't try to persuade her otherwise.

This price was already very sincere.

Seeing that the other party was so sincere, Jiang Li couldn't be bothered to drive the price down further.

Taking this shop for one million, and after completing the task, trading it for a villa in Yihao Mansion.

If he still thought this deal was expensive, then he would be being a bit ungrateful.

Jiang Li nodded, "Then it's a pleasant cooperation!"

Zhang Ling was stunned for a moment, "Are you sure?"

Jiang Li smiled, "What, do you think I agreed too quickly?"

"No, no!"

Zhang Ling hurriedly shook her head, the tension on her face relaxing quite a bit.

Wang Hui, standing nearby, also perked up.

If this deal really went through, she would be able to go to work with a smile for the next two months.

Zhang Ling hurriedly said, "Then I'll go get the paperwork for you."

"The property deed, shop documents, and equipment list are all in my car."

"We can settle it today."

Jiang Li nodded.

"Go ahead and get them; we'll take a look around the shop."

When Zhang Ling turned to go downstairs, her steps were much faster than before.

Wang Yaoyao finally turned back to look at Jiang Li.

"Brother Jiang, are you really going to let me watch over this shop in the future?"

Jiang Li looked at her uncertain expression and suddenly smiled.

"This shop is for you to run; if you don't watch over it, who will?"

"Let's go, we still have to wait a while for them to come back, let's go see what's inside that 'Free Tonight' room."

"Huh?" Wang Yaoyao was stunned for a moment. This shop was for her?

For real?

He had clearly just bought her a car, and now he was giving her a shop.

Was this still just keeping a mistress?

Even training a death soldier wouldn't be like this!

Fortunately... she wasn't completely unprepared either.

She, Wang Yaoyao, must be the most sensible woman by Jiang Li's side!

"Brother, wait for me a second, okay? I'm going to go to the car and get something!"
