Chapter 328

City K.

The sun was shining brightly, and the temperature at noon was much higher than in the morning.

Coming out of the train station, Tang Huai and the train station rented two bicycles.

She and Liu Xiaoxiao each rode towards Jinan Middle School.

Tang Huai is familiar with the city center and suburbs.

In her previous life, she came to K City to work, and the environment was similar to the current one.

She has lived in the city for more than twenty years, including the three years when she married Jing Peng...

Liu Xiaoxiao is very curious about everything in the city.

There are so many buildings and buildings in the city, and many buildings are under construction.

There are also some big roads, poured cement, and the ride is very smooth.

On the way from the train station to Jinan High School, they stop and play.

Seeing a beautiful building, Liu Xiaoxiao wants to come down to take a look, and sees a bigger lake, Liu Xiaoxiao wants to stop and take a look.

After passing a park, Liu Xiaoxiao also stopped to take a look.

Seeing a van approaching, Liu Xiaoxiao still wanted to stop and take a look.

Of course, when she passed a restaurant with good business, she would also stop and take a look.

Tang Huai understood Liu Xiaoxiao's curiosity, and she patiently accompanied Liu Xiaoxiao to look at this and that.

It's normal to have such a reaction when you come to a big city for the first time.

If there is no such reaction, it is not normal.

Finally, I came to Jinan Middle School.

The area of ​​Jinan Middle School is twice as large as that of the county seat!

The greenery inside is very good, the playground is also big, and there are so many teaching buildings like No. 1 Middle School.

The Louxue building in No. 1 Middle School has only three floors, and each teaching building here has four floors.

The teaching building is in the north, and the dormitory for students and teachers is in the south. The dormitory building is the same as the teaching building, with four floors.

The campus, playground, and buildings can all be seen to be newly built.

Only the school gate, arch railings, and stone monuments can be seen to have some sense of age.

Liu Xiaoxiao and Tang Huai held their bicycles and looked in at the school gate.

Liu Xiaoxiao exclaimed: "It's bigger than No. 1 Middle School!"

"Sure." There may not be many students at this time, but after a few years, it will be very different.

Now we advocate economic development, and children should read more books.

But because of poverty, many families have to give up their studies to make a living even though they have a lot of study materials.

After a few years, as the standard of living improves, more children will have the opportunity to learn, and the number of students in the school will increase.

Especially a school like Jinan with a history and the title of a provincial senior high school, and K City is the provincial capital of the province, and Jinan Middle School is the target of the top students.

"I heard that all the top students are admitted here." Liu Xiaoxiao said.

"The admission score is the highest in the whole province." Tang Huai said.

"Tang Huai, if your score reaches this level, you must come here to attend high school!"

"Aunt Xiao, I am very happy to be admitted to No. 1 Middle School."

Her science subjects were always lagging behind. There was a question that she couldn't understand at all, and it was left blank.

The composition is not well written, I don't know how many points I will get, and the words are crooked, I don't know if I will deduct a few more points for the sake of ugly words...

But in English, history, etc., Tang Huai was quite confident. It's just that the admission score of Jinan Middle School is too high, so she dare not have too much hope.

"It would be great if I could come here to study."

"Whether I can come here to study or not, our branch is set to open here."

When it came to this, Liu Xiaoxiao remembered that their focus was on finding shops, not visiting the school: "Let's go and see if there are any good shops."

Looking around, Tang Huai fell in love with a shop located between Jinan Middle School and South China University.

Here, there is a row of buildings, a total of ten buildings.

They are all new buildings with four floors and five floors.

In front of the second floor of two buildings, there are still banners of hotels and accommodation.

The words 'single room for rent' and 'suite for rent' are posted on the front.

Even so, someone opened a shop on the first floor.

There is a tailor shop, a bookstore, and a clothing store.

The rest are all advertised to attract investment.

What Tang Huai liked was that the first floor was a shop connected by two houses.

On the second floor, the words hotel and accommodation are hung, and the first floor is the open shop.

Because the two buildings are connected, the area is twice as large as other stores. Tang Huai is very satisfied with such a wide area.

After observing the storefront, Tang Huai and Liu Xiaoxiao pushed their bicycles and walked slowly nearby: "Aunt Xiao, what do you think?"

"The area is large, with four walls. If we rent it, it will be very convenient to decorate." Liu Xiaoxiao said, but he doesn't know how much the monthly rent is for such an area.

Tang Huai said with a smile: "I noticed that whether it is a long-term rental house or a temporary building, there are clothes hanging on the balcony. This shows that there are quite a lot of people dispatched here. Walking from here is the pedestrian street, walking, etc. In the back, there are parks and industrial areas. Now there are schools on our left and right sides. If our Happy Catering becomes famous, whether they are students, people who come to shop, or people who work nearby, or rent a house here People will come to eat. The traffic must be more than that of the county.”

When Liu Xiaoxiao heard about it, she looked far away, looking around, she didn't understand the geographical location, but after hearing what Tang Huai said, she was looking forward to opening a branch here.

"I've memorized the address. Before it's dark, let's go to Uncle Gu and ask him to talk to the store owner to keep the price as low as possible, and pay half a year's rent in one go." Gu Jiajia gave her uncle's address I wrote to Tang Huai, and it’s not far from here by bike, it takes half an hour.

"Why do we have to pay half a year's rent at once? So we don't lose a lot?" If the business is not good, the risk is not great?

"The restaurant has just started, and I don't have so much money, or I would like to pay the rent for six years at one time."

"Tang Huai, don't make fun of me." Such jokes are not funny at all.

Tang Huai just smiled and said nothing more.

Rent will only get more expensive, not cheap.

Half an hour later, Tang Huai came to a huge construction site and found Gu Jiajia's uncle.

Uncle has an independent office on the construction site.

The office is very big, and my uncle entertained Tang Huai and Liu Xiaoxiao with tea, dried peanuts and candies.

Uncle is the kind of tall and powerful man who looks very loyal and stable.

Brown loose clothes, stained with cement and dust.

Tang Huai told his uncle the address of the store, his intended rental price, and how to decorate it.

When Tang Huai talked about these matters, the uncle listened very carefully and never interrupted.

After listening, the uncle looked at Tang Huai with his eyes that could see everything and admired: "I have met many businessmen, they have experience and skill, but they are not as thorough as your plan. Such a mind that knows how to calculate and calculate is really a genius in business. Tomorrow I will go to the boss to help you lower the price and sign a one-year lease!"

Tang Huai smiled and looked at his uncle gratefully: "Uncle, thank you!"

"I know you're coming, so I've prepared accommodation for you, South China Hotel. The dishes inside are pretty good. I'll take you there to taste their flavors." Uncle laughed.

hotel?

Liu Xiaoxiao was surprised, but also looking forward to it.

She has never stayed in a hotel, but she knows that a hotel is a high-end place. It costs a lot of money to stay for one night, and the food inside is also more expensive than restaurants outside.

Tang Huai smiled calmly, and after thanking his uncle, he and Liu Xiaoxiao followed his uncle to the Huanan Hotel.

Huanan Hotel is not far from this huge construction site, but the construction site is large, Tang Huai felt that it took a long time to reach Huanan Hotel.

"Uncle, your project is so huge, is it building a real estate?" Tang Huai asked.

"No, this is a government-funded construction. After it is completed, it will attract investment. It is said that it is a high-end club, not a real estate."

"oh."

Huanan Hotel, with stylish decoration, is considered a luxury hotel here.

Show them the room, and then went to the first floor for dinner.

Uncle invited them to eat with them. The person looks serious, but not someone who puts on airs.

But my uncle was busy, so he carried a BB machine in a briefcase with him.

The BB machine inside kept beeping, and every time it beeped, he took it out to have a look, and then put it back.

Every time the BB machine was taken out, Liu Xiaoxiao stared straight at it, wondering what was it?

After eating, the uncle will send Tang Huai and Liu Xiaoxiao back to their room to rest.

The uncle didn't say anything, but Tang Huai could tell that he was a little absent-minded, maybe he was really busy, otherwise the BB machine wouldn't keep ringing.

"Uncle, you don't have to see me off. Aunt Xiao and I will stand at the entrance of the hotel for a while. Go and do your work. I'm sorry to waste your time." Tang Huai looked at Uncle and smiled.

The uncle thought for a while, and said righteously and straightforwardly: "Okay! You just walk around, don't go too far, it's late, it's not safe."

As soon as the uncle left, Liu Xiaoxiao grabbed Tang Huai's arm and asked, "Tang Huai, did you see that thing in Uncle Jiajia's bag!"

"I see."

"What's that? It looks awesome."

"Of course it's awesome, it's a pager."

"Pager? What kind of caller?"

"It's a communication tool, which is more convenient than a landline. Uncle's pager keeps ringing. It's because someone called him. Because he was with us for dinner, he couldn't find a phone to answer the other party. Maybe the other party was in a hurry, and he didn't wait for the call once. Call back, so keep calling."

"That is, if you have a pager, I call you and you call me back? What do I use to call you?"

"Landline." Tang Huai said with a smile: "When I open a branch here, I will install the landline. At that time, a group of people will be in the county and a group of people will be in the city. If there is anything, they can communicate by phone, which is very convenient."

"Where's the pager? Where can I buy it? I want one too." Liu Xiaoxiao said.

"Okay, when the time comes, we'll each have one, hang it around our waists, it's awesome." Tang Huai patted his waist and smiled.

"After riding a bicycle all day, my legs are sore, let's go back to my room and rest."

"En." Tang Huai and Liu Xiaoxiao just stood at the entrance of the hotel for a while, and returned to the hotel without going around.

As soon as I entered the hotel, I saw several people coming out of the hotel.

Tang Huai and Liu Xiaoxiao saw that they were standing at the door, so they walked in, stood beside them, and looked at the group of people curiously.

The clothes and temperament of this group of people can be seen as people who are either rich or expensive.
