Seven Times, Eight Times, or Nine Times?
"Who is Sun Xinxin?" A voice suddenly came from the door.
Everyone turned around and saw a man and a woman appearing at the door of the flower shop. They both looked to be in their thirties. The man looked quite capable, while the woman was plain-looking but had a plump figure.
"I'm Sun Xinxin. What can I do for you?" Sun Xinxin continued.
When the man saw Sun Xinxin, he was stunned, apparently shocked by her beauty. As for the woman, she was also a little dazed, and a look of jealousy unconsciously appeared on her face. Sun Xinxin was so beautiful that she was jealous.
"Sun Xinxin, we are from the Property Management Department of Jianghai University Logistics Service Group, and this is our Section Chief Zhang." The woman said, "The lease of your flower shop expires next month, and we don't plan to renew it with you, so we came to inform you to prepare to move out!"
Sun Xinxin was stunned at first. This news was completely beyond her expectations. It could be said that it was very abrupt and there was no sign at all. So it took her half a minute to react. She asked in confusion, "How could this happen? Doesn't the contract say that after the lease expires, under the same conditions, I have the priority to renew the lease!"
"Sun Xinxin, you also said that you have priority under the same conditions. Back then, this flower shop was rented to you for only 10,000 yuan a year. Now someone is willing to rent it for 5,000 yuan a month. Can you afford this price?" The woman said coldly. Originally, this woman had no grudge against Sun Xinxin, but Sun Xinxin was so beautiful that this woman unknowingly regarded Sun Xinxin as an enemy.
"What?" Fang Xiaoru screamed before Sun Xinxin could say anything. "Are you kidding me? Five thousand a month, that's sixty thousand a year. This storefront is less than twenty square meters. Isn't this too expensive?"
"If you think it's too expensive, don't even mention having priority!" The woman snorted. "According to the contract, the lease expires on August 14th. There's still half a month left, which is enough time for you to find a new storefront."
"Ms. Sun, we are just here to inform you today. This is my business card. If you are willing to pay five thousand a month, we will still give priority to renting it to you according to the provisions of the contract." Section Chief Zhang finally spoke. He handed Sun Xinxin a business card, his eyes still reluctant to leave Sun Xinxin.
"Okay, Chief Zhang, thank you." Sun Xinxin took the business card.
"Then we'll leave first." Section Chief Zhang finally withdrew his gaze. He still had some sense of propriety and knew that it was impolite to stare at a woman like that.
I have to say, this guy is very lucky, because Xia Tian already wanted to hit someone, so how could his wife be stared at like this?
After the couple left, Fang Xiaoru asked Sun Xinxin anxiously, "Xinjie, what's going on? This is too weird. The school is on vacation now, and most of the people in the logistics group are also on vacation. Why did you suddenly want us to leave?"
"Who knows." Sun Xinxin shook her head. "But it was Professor Xie who helped me find this store. It is said that the logistics group gave me a very favorable price for her sake. It is normal for them to raise the price now."
"But isn't this too much of an increase?" Fang Xiaoru was a little dissatisfied. "I heard that the storefronts in this school are not that expensive. Generally, they are only about 2,000 yuan a month. If it is 5,000 yuan a month, won't our flower shop lose money?"
"Actually, five thousand is just five thousand. It's no big deal. It's only sixty thousand yuan a year." Xia Tian didn't care about it.
"No, I opened the flower shop to make money, no matter how much, I have to make money. If I lose money, I will definitely not do it." Sun Xinxin shook her head. Fang Xiaoru was right. If the rent was 5,000 a month, it would be difficult for her to make money, and she would even lose money if she was not careful. It was almost certain that she would lose money during the holidays like now, unless that hacker incident happened again.
"Sister Xin, do you want to ask Professor Xie for help?" Fang Xiaoru asked.
"Who is Professor Xie?" Xia Tian asked.
"I used to be a nanny in Professor Xie's house. She is a professor in the Economics Department of Jianghai University and seems to be a very famous economist." Sun Xinxin explained.
After a pause, Sun Xinxin shook her head again: "I'd better not bother her. She has helped me a lot. She and I are not related at all. It's not appropriate to go to her again."
"Sister Xin, what should we do? You're not going to close the flower shop, are you?" Fang Xiaoru asked with a bitter face. If the flower shop closed, she would be unemployed and would have no money to eat.
"There's still half a month left. Let's wait a few days and see how the situation develops." Sun Xinxin said after thinking for a while.
Glancing at Fang Xiaoru, Sun Xinxin couldn't help but comfort her: "Xiaoru, don't worry. Even if I really close the flower shop, I will help you find a job. Xia Tian knows a lot of people, so it won't be difficult to find a suitable job for you."
"Sister Xin, thank you first!" Fang Xiaoru felt relieved after hearing this, but she started to have some unrealistic thoughts in her mind. It would be great if Xia Tian could introduce her to Qiao Xiaoqiao to work.
A BMW stopped in front of the flower shop, and a middle-aged man got out of the car. Xia Tian thought he looked familiar, and then he remembered, isn't this the old pervert who drove the BMW? Sister Xin called this guy Professor Chen. Last time, he let this guy run away, and now this idiot is coming to the door. He really deserves a beating!
"Xiao Sun, your flower shop business..." Professor Chen walked to the door of the flower shop and greeted Sun Xinxin with a friendly look. Unfortunately, before he could finish his sentence, he felt a sharp pain in his abdomen.
"Ugh..." Professor Chen groaned in pain, covered his stomach with one hand, and bent over in pain.
"You idiot, you actually set your sights on my wife, are you looking for death?" Xia Tian cursed in dissatisfaction and slapped Professor Chen twice in succession. There were crisp slapping sounds and Professor Chen was dizzy. For a moment he didn't understand why he was suddenly beaten.
"You, what kind of person is this? Why did you hit someone?" Professor Chen finally realized that the person who hit him was Xia Tian, but he did not recognize that Xia Tian was the one who called him an idiot last time.
"You're talking to me about quality?" Xia Tian slapped him again, "Idiot!"
"Forget it, Xia Tian, don't bother with this kind of person." Sun Xinxin walked over and advised softly.
Xia Tian raised his foot and kicked Professor Chen away: "Get lost!"
"You, just wait for me!" Professor Chen was in an extremely embarrassed state. He got up from the ground, roared sternly, then picked up his cell phone and started dialing, obviously looking for help.
"You really have no creativity at all. You only know how to ask for help." Xia Tian yawned, expressing his serious contempt for Professor Chen's behavior. "Sister Xin, guess what, do you think that idiot will call the police or find some thugs to beat me up?"
"How could I guess?" Sun Xinxin said angrily.
"I think he called the police." Fang Xiaoru interjected, "He kept saying he had good manners, he didn't seem like someone who would be associated with gangsters."
"Not necessarily. Such people appear to be righteous on the surface, but they are actually very dirty behind the scenes. They might really find some gangsters to come with them." Sun Xinxin couldn't help but say.
"Sister Xin, if you guessed wrong, it will still be seven times tonight." Xia Tian stared at the key parts of Sun Xinxin's body with burning eyes and said with a smile.
"What if I guess right?" Sun Xinxin's pretty face turned slightly red and she glared at Xia Tian. This little rascal, he had done it to her seven times last night and he wanted to do it to her seven times again tonight. She would not let him succeed!
"There's a prize for guessing correctly, eight times." Xia Tian laughed.
"You wish!" Sun Xinxin spat, "I won't guess!"
Fang Xiaoru on the side was a little confused: "What are you talking about? Seven times or eight times?"
"Sister Xin, if you don't guess, it's nine times." Xia Tian continued.
"Don't even think about it. I won't let you enter the room tonight!" Sun Xinxin said angrily.
"Xia Tian, Sister Xin, you should go find another place to flirt with each other. There are underage girls here!" Fang Xiaoru finally understood that these two were really in love and didn't care about the consequences at all.
Xia Tian looked at Fang Xiaoru strangely: "Aren't you an adult yet?"
"You're not an adult yet, I mean Xiaoling." Fang Xiaoru said unhappily.
Ding Ling's thin voice sounded at the right time: "I am already eighteen years old."
"Yeah!" Fang Xiaoru suddenly shouted excitedly, "I guessed right, they really called the police!"
A police car drove into Jianghai University and stopped next to Professor Chen's BMW. The door opened and two policemen got out.
"Why does he look familiar?" Sun Xinxin couldn't help but mutter when she saw one of the policemen. It seemed that she had seen this policeman in the police station.
"Two officers, this is the little gangster. He has no manners at all and is maliciously hurting people. You should arrest him now!" Professor Chen walked into the flower shop with two policemen, pointing at Xia Tian with an angry look on his face.
"Pah!" Xia Tian slapped Professor Chen again, "I told you to get out, why did you come in again?"
"You, do you still have any sense of law? You dare to beat someone in front of the police?" Professor Chen was furious. "Officer, you see now, right? This kind of lawless thug should be locked up in jail to prevent him from causing trouble to society!"
"Ahem..." One of the policemen coughed softly, "Wu Shan, arrest him!"
"Yes, Captain Qin!" Another policeman walked towards Xia Tian.
"Wu Shan, what are you doing?" Captain Qin suddenly shouted, "The person I asked you to arrest is here!"
Professor Chen was confused, and Wu Shan was also confused, because the person that Captain Qin was pointing at was not Xia Tian, but Professor Chen.
"Officer, what do you mean? Do you always handle cases in this reckless way?" Professor Chen asked angrily.
Wu Shan was also puzzled: "Captain Qin, there must be a reason for arresting someone, right?"
