Rebirth starts with small money

Chapter 221 A Rich Woman's Friend Is Also a Rich Woman

Su Mei said there were two shops, but in fact there was only one shop left, and the other shop had already been rented out.

And even for the remaining family, Chen Li couldn't use it.

Although the location of this store is excellent, after all, Yanda University and Huaqing University are both next to each other. Opening a store here can basically cover the two top universities in China.

But in fact, it made Chen Li very helpless!The shop in the counselor's house is too big.

At least for fried chicken restaurants, it is impossible to use such a store.

Such a shop can almost open a KFC.

So~ this visit to the store is meaningless except for Chen Li to have a more "deep" understanding of his counselor's family background.

"Wouldn't it be better to be bigger?"

"I heard that your fried chicken tastes very good! The bigger the store, the more money you make, right?"

"Uh~!"

Chen Li is speechless~ There is some truth to this truth.

But the problem is how can Chen Li have so much money to rent such a shop!
Not to mention the rent, Chen Li couldn't even afford the decoration costs of this shop.

"Teacher Su~ I can't use such a big store for my small business."

"And the rent of such a store must not be cheap, I can't afford it."

"You've also seen my small fried chicken shop, a small shop will do, there's no need for such a big one."

Chen Li spread his hands, he was actually very helpless!

The reason is simple. In [-], the kind of small stores he needed were really not popular.

In cities more than ten years later, especially near some commercial plazas, small shops with a business area of ​​only a few square meters to a dozen square meters are very popular.

For example, milk tea shops and various snack bars, that kind of business model is very popular.

But in [-], there were also such business models, but they were relatively few.

In the eyes of many people, snacks have to be the kind of stalls on the side of the road.

It is rare for someone to open a shop in a big city just for snacks.

There is less demand, and correspondingly there are fewer such shops!Therefore, shops these days are generally at least tens of square meters or more.

And the shop in Su Mei's house has an area of ​​more than 300 square meters.

With such an area, and it is still near Yanda University, there are actually many directions to choose from.

Such as clothing stores, orthodox restaurants and so on.

Of course ~ if Chen Li has enough funds, he will also choose to rent this store.At that time, we will renovate it, open up dine-in food, and go directly to the flagship store of the entire ideal fried chicken restaurant.

On the one hand, more profits can be made, and on the other hand, the brand value of the "ideal" fried chicken restaurant can be enhanced.

But it's hard for a clever woman to cook without rice. Although Chen Li is not a clever woman, he really has no rice.

"Uh~ I can discuss the rent with my family, and I will give you a premium."

"Don't~ Teacher Su!"

After Su Mei thought about it, she was about to speak when she was interrupted by Chen Li.

Knowing that Su Mei's family is rich, Chen Li may not care so much about the rent.But... Chen Li definitely can't take advantage of this.

Let's not talk about whether Su Mei's family can agree, even if they can agree, how cheap can it be?

And taking advantage of this, then Chen Li owes Su Mei a favor. Chen Li thinks that his favor is quite valuable.

Deng Weimin helped him a few times, but every time Chen Li directly responded with "gracious courtesy" in order not to owe him any favors.

If you just rent a branch, you have to owe a favor, and Chen Li's favor seems too cheap.

"Mr. Su, this shop is really not suitable for me, it's too big!"

"And let me tell you the truth! I don't have that much money on hand. As for your shop, I can't even afford the renovation fee."

"So~ I thank you for your kindness. But I really can't afford to rent this shop."

To be honest, except that this shop is a bit bigger, everything else is in line with Chen Li's idea.

With a fried chicken shop here, there is absolutely no need to worry about business.

But no money is no money, the gap is not a star.

The bigger the store, the higher the various costs, and Chen Li can't afford such a store today.

In the end, Su Mei accepted Chen Li's rejection.For this reason, Su Mei seemed to feel that Chen Li was not being helped, so she directly suggested that
"Oh~ let's do it!"

"It didn't help you either, so I'll treat you to dinner that night!"

Originally, Su Mei planned to invite her for this meal later, but she didn't help Chen Li after working so hard for a long time, which made her lose face as a counselor.

"No need! Thank you Teacher Su for your kindness~ I'll treat you to dinner when I'm free!"

Chen Li saw Su Mei's state of mind, but he felt that Su Mei was thinking too much.

Su Mei looked at Chen Li with the mentality of a counselor looking at students.As a counselor teacher, she felt a little embarrassed for not helping Chen Li.

But in fact, Su Mei had no position at all to help Chen Li.

There is an old saying that is good, it is duty not to help, but love is to help.

It's impossible to say that the two fried chicken set meals at Ideal Fried Chicken Restaurant can make Su Mei so helpful, and Chen Li's fried chicken is not so attractive.

So in fact, even if Su Mei didn't help Chen Li, it should be Chen Li who invited his counselor to dinner.

"Hey~ I said why are you two being polite?"

"Is it okay for me to treat you tonight?"

"Let's not go to Lao Mo, that place. It's okay to just eat for a feeling. I'll invite you to eat boiled mutton tonight."

Chen Li and Su Mei pushed me to refuse, and Zhou Xiaoli looked a little dissatisfied.

It was hard for her to take a day off today. Originally, she had an appointment with Su Mei to go shopping, but it was all on Chen Li's side.

"Don't mind~! Sister Zhou, it's okay to eat boiled mutton, but I'll buy this order."

"Don't rob me, I'm a man anyway, and now I'm the one who earns my own money, so don't rob you two."

"If you want to go to Lao Mo~ then I won't talk, the cost of that place is a bit high, I can't afford it."

"But if it's hot-boiled mutton~hehe! You two can eat it as you like!"

Chen Li laughed and started to tease himself, but in fact what he said was true.

Even in [-], Lao Mo's consumption was relatively high-end.

Although the current Lao Mo has been going downhill all the time, but his style is there.

In addition, it's western food, and these two are obviously rich masters in front of them. Chen Li worried that if he went to treat Lao Mo, if these two ordered him a sky-high price menu, he would be in vain. up.

But if you eat boiled mutton, it will be different.

"Hey~ You're quite an interesting person!"

Zhou Xiaoli was taken aback by Chen Li's "blunt" expression.

As a good-looking rich girl, Zhou Xiaoli is used to seeing the kind of people who slap her face swollen in front of her to pretend to be fat.

As for other subtleties, it is generally a tactful rejection or some other excuse.

In the end, Chen Li was the first one to admit directly that he couldn't afford to invite him.

"No~ how can I let you treat me! You can also eat hot-boiled mutton. It just happens that the temperature is going to cool down recently, so you can have some mutton, but I have to buy it alone." Su Mei is still not happy!

I haven't eaten this meal yet!The three of them started to grab the bill!This can be regarded as a Chinese characteristic.

When there is no shortage of money, people always like to rush to pay the bill.Even if some people are very short of money, they will slap their faces to pretend to be fat.

Of course, Su Mei is definitely not the one who is short of money, and Chen Li is her student, so naturally Chen Li can't be asked to pay the bill.

Chen Li was also a little speechless, and waved his hand directly.

"Okay~ Teacher Su, I'll invite you tonight."

"Next time you invite, it's fine if sister Zhou invites you next time!"

"Hehe~ You kid. Do you have some other purpose?"

As soon as Chen Li said this, Zhou Xiaoli took a look at him, and then at Su Mei.

"You guy, arranged three meals at once?"

"Is your brain turning fast enough?"

Don't blame Zhou Xiaoli for thinking wrong, after all, Su Mei is only a few years older than Chen Li.

Although it's not very popular these days to have girls and boys, but such things are really not surprising.

"Crack~!"

"What are you talking about?"

Su Mei couldn't understand the meaning of her best friend's words, so she just raised her hand and slapped her.

This time Chen Li saw it for real, because Zhou Xiaoli was wearing skinny jeans today, so he could see clearly that Su Mei's slap directly slapped Zhou Xiaoli's buttocks.

Then Zhou Xiaoli's face turned red.

I just don't know it's just because of this slap!Or is it because Chen Li is here?

"Sister Zhou, where do you want to go!"

"My girlfriend is from Yanda University. I plan to treat her to dinner tonight. Isn't this just a good deal!"

"So~ I have to pay for the meal tonight."

Chen Li also knew what Zhou Xiaoli was thinking just now, so he had to explain it carefully, after all, he has a girlfriend!
"Yo~ You kid actually has a girlfriend?"

"Or from Yan University? You can do it, kid!"

"It's a pity~ I think you are quite interesting, and I plan to get along with you!"

Zhou Xiaoli, who was blushing just now, returned to her original state in an instant, and then teased Chen Li.

Don't look at what these sisters say that they plan to get along with Chen Li, but if Chen Li takes this seriously, then it will be a ghost.

"As expected, she is a girl studying medicine. I can't afford to provoke you!"

Chen Li complained in his heart!
"That's fine! Then you bring your girlfriend out for dinner that night, and you pay the bill."

"As a reward for inviting me and Su Mei to dinner, I'll help you with your store."

Zhou Xiaoli walked up to Chen Li, raised her hand and patted Chen Li's shoulder, and then said something that made Chen Li look confused.

Chen Li didn't understand it yet, but Su Mei who was on the side reacted.

"That's right~ Xiaoli, your family is in the real estate business, so there must be connections."

"Then help Chen Li find a store, please!"

Although Su Mei is a counselor at the university, she is actually only in her early twenties.

In front of the students, Su Mei can still maintain the "dignity" of the teacher, but in front of her girlfriends, her majestic image has disappeared.

So~ at this moment, Su Mei was holding Zhou Xiaoli's arm, and she started acting coquettishly.

"Cough~ cough cough!"

Chen Li was a little dazed by this one after another scene, and quickly turned his head to the side, not forgetting to cough to remind him.

Su Mei quickly reacted, her face turned red and she quickly let go.She was used to fighting with Zhou Xiaoli, so she subconsciously acted coquettishly just now.

this.!So Su Mei glared at Chen Li directly.

But Chen Li is also very innocent!What does it matter to him?
Well~ It does have something to do with him, because at this moment Chen Li has already recalled the information in Zhou Xiaoli and Su Mei's words just now.

Chen Li didn't know what Su Mei's family was doing.But the family must be rich, this has been confirmed by Chen Li.

But Chen Li didn't know what Zhou Xiaoli's family did at first.

Chen Li only knows that this girl is a medical student and is currently doing an internship at the Affiliated Hospital of Yenching University.

But just now Su Mei directly exposed Zhou Xiaoli's family background. This girl's family is actually in the real estate business?

I fucked a DJ?

This is ninety-eight years!In the real estate business?

Chen Li turned his head and looked at Zhou Xiaoli.

Last name Zhou~!

It's a pity~ Chen Li searched through all the memories in his mind, but couldn't think of any real estate boss surnamed Zhou.

To be reasonable, people who were able to do real estate business in Yanjing at this time in [-], if they can't be ranked at the top of the rich list in the future, they are basically considered to be in the bottom of their families.

However, it is also possible that the other party is a character who hides the rich. Although such a person is not as mysterious as described in the novel, it does exist.

Of course~ Chen Li is too lazy to pay attention to the other party's background at the moment.What he cares most at the moment is what Zhou Xiaoli said.

Help him solve the store business!

I saw Zhou Xiaoli took out a mobile phone, which was also a Nokia 8810.

Chen Li estimated that Zhou Xiaoli's mobile phone and Su Mei's mobile phone came from the same place.

Because this phone is currently only listed overseas, it will not be officially listed in China until next year.

"Dad~!"

"Hi~!"

Following Zhou Xiaoli's "Dad", Chen Li took a deep breath!

That voice. So boring!

Chen Li felt goosebumps all over his body.

Zhou Xiaoli obviously noticed Chen Li's movements, she gave Chen Li a direct look, and then continued to speak in a tone that was almost tiresome.

"Dad~ I need a shop."

"No~ It's a student of Su Mei who wants to rent a store."

"Just next to the university in Haidian!"

"Yeah~! Thank you, Dad~!"

"Oh~ Got it, I'll go home for dinner next time I'm on vacation."

"Yeah~! Okay!"

Zhou Xiaoli hung up the phone and glared at Chen Li again.At this moment, she was very dissatisfied with Chen Li's performance just now.

"I'm helping you, kid, what was that expression just now?"

"Uh~ I was wrong!"

"But to be honest. It's not my fault!"

"Sister Zhou, you were so cute just now, I just haven't seen such a cute one, so..."

Chen Li changed his face in an instant, from a hippie smiling face to a serious one, but the words in his mouth were so dishonest!
"You you bastard!"

Zhou Xiaoli was a little stunned by Chen Li's actions, looked at Chen Li for a while, and Zhou Xiaoli slapped Chen Li on the shoulder directly.

"You guys... are really interesting."

"Tsk~ It's a pity! You are a little younger, and you have a girlfriend again."

"Otherwise~ I really want to get along with you!"

The same words, but different from the previous one, this time Zhou Xiaoli's words carried a little bit of truth.

But it's not because of liking and love, it's just because I'm curious about a boy with a personality like Chen Li.

Many times, feelings arise from curiosity.But the premise is that there is that condition.

Obviously, there is no such condition between Chen Li and Zhou Xiaoli, so this is actually a joke.

"Come on you~!"

"This is my student, do you want an old cow to eat young grass?"

Su Mei on the side rolled her eyes directly, and at the same time, her words directly angered Zhou Xiaoli.

"Who do you call an old cow?" Who do you call an old cow?"

Zhou Xiaoli turned around and stretched out her magic claw, and then the two beauties started fighting in the empty shop.

This was actually a beautiful scene, but Chen Li didn't appreciate it.

Although Zhou Xiaoli didn't tell him the answer just now, but from Zhou Xiaoli's tone, it seems that the matter of the store has been resolved.

However, regardless of whether the store's affairs are resolved or not, the food still needs to be eaten.

So Chen Li took out his mobile phone and dialed the number of Liu Qingqing's dormitory.

"Hey~ find Liu Qingqing."
