On her wedding night, she went into exile with her pharmacy arsenal

Cheng Guanghan thought the matter was over and was about to breathe a sigh of relief when the housekeeper hurried in from outside.

"Master, Mr. Li is here."

Cheng Shichuan didn't understand for a moment: "Which Mr. Li?"

"The landlord of the shop."

Cheng Shichuan was a little puzzled: "Why is he here?"

Mrs. Cheng also muttered: "He doesn't come here very often. Except for the New Year when we give him gifts, we can basically not see him, let alone come to our house."

At this point, I felt a little nervous: "Is there something wrong?"

Mr. Li is a good landlord. Although the price of the shop is not cheap, he is less troublesome. Unlike other landlords, he is always busy with this and that. Once the price is decided and the rent is paid on time, he basically never shows up again.

Cheng Guanghan waved his hand and asked someone to take the servant away, cleaned the floor, and turned around to sit on the chair.

"They must have heard about the trade market and our family's relationship. These people have sharper noses than dogs."

Cheng Guanghan sipped his tea leisurely: "I guess he is here to negotiate the rent with us and take the initiative to reduce it for us."

Cheng Shichuan raised his eyebrows slightly: "Is that so? That's really great."

Madam Cheng smiled and said, "He knows what to do. Son, what do you think we should do?"

Cheng Guanghan said without hesitation: "Of course we have to let him know that it's not that we can't rent any other shop except his. We have to let him know that with our family's current status and position, it's a blessing for him to be able to rent his shop."

"Father, tell him later that several shops have come to us and their prices are 30% cheaper than his."

Cheng Shichuan was slightly surprised: "30%?"

"Don't worry, you can talk to him when the time comes. Even if others give 30%, after so many years of friendship, they will lean towards him, and he will naturally be grateful."

Cheng Shichuan stroked his beard and nodded: "That makes sense."

Mrs. Cheng stood up and said, "Okay, you guys chat. My son drank too much last night. I'll go to the kitchen to check on the soup."

Cheng Shichuan ordered someone to invite Mr. Li in. Mr. Li entered the front hall, and the Cheng father and son stood up slowly.

Mr. Li sneered in his heart, what a big deal.

Cheng Shichuan said, "Brother Li, I haven't seen you for a long time. How come you have time to come to my house today?"

"I came here for the shop."

Cheng Shichuan shook his head and sighed: "Speaking of the shop, I just happened to have something to discuss with Brother Li, but I didn't expect Brother Li to come first."

Mr. Li said calmly, "You say."

Cheng Shichuan seemed very helpless: "It's like this, business has been good recently, and it's the beginning of the year, so a few shops came to me and wanted me to rent their shops. I said that I have been friends with Brother Li for many years, so how could I do this? But who knew that the price they offered was 30% cheaper than the current price, this..."

Cheng Shichuan shook his head and sighed, as if he was in a dilemma, but he glanced at Li Yuanwai out of the corner of his eye.

Waiting to see Mr. Li’s anxious look.

Cheng Guanghan took over the conversation: "Mr. Li, our two families have a long-standing friendship and should be happy to cooperate with each other, but our family is a businessman, and the rent will be reduced by 30%. My father has not agreed to it yet because of our old friendship..."

Mr. Li raised his hand and interrupted him: "If that's the case, then I'll just say it straight."

"I came here today for the shop. I saw that you had almost moved the shop two days ago, so I guessed that you might move out."

"To be honest, someone has been asking about my shop since before the New Year, offering a high price for the rent. I thought about our long-standing friendship and I couldn't just look at the small price difference. Since you guys are also planning to move, that's perfect."

"I won't prepare a new year's lease agreement. You must move out your belongings and take down the plaque within seven days."

After saying that, Mr. Li stood up and was about to leave. The Cheng father and son were stunned for a moment.

Cheng Shichuan stood up suddenly, much faster than when he greeted him just now.

"No, Brother Li, please stay, stay!"

He quickly caught up and stopped Mr. Li.

Cheng Guanghan also frowned and asked, "Mr. Li, are you sure you don't want to rent the shop to us?"

Mr. Li was puzzled and asked, "What do you mean I won't rent it to you? Didn't you just say that? There are many people who rent it to you at a price 30% cheaper than mine."

"I'm kind enough to take the initiative to not renew the contract, so as to save you from having to make things difficult for yourself and have you spend more money."

Cheng Shichuan was speechless: "No."

"Not what?"

Cheng Guanghan said: "Uncle Li, we have cooperated for many years, and we still prefer you. Even if others are cheaper, we will..."

"Don't," Li Yuanwai raised his hand to interrupt, smiling, "Mr. Cheng, I don't deserve to be called your uncle. Business is business, and I don't want to get involved in personal relationships. Others are cheaper, you can rent from other houses, I won't stop you."

"I don't want to hear others say that your Cheng family rented my expensive shop out of friendship."

"To be honest, my shop is spacious and clean, and there is a small yard in the back. In terms of location and house, my price is not expensive. You think the rent is expensive, but I think it is cheap."

"Now is the perfect time, let's be happy. Goodbye."

Seeing that he was determined and didn't seem to be joking, Cheng Shichuan became really anxious.

Is there anyone who would rent it to him at a cheap price?

Not to mention that there is no such thing, even if there is, and it can be bought at a very low price, he would not give up his current shop.

As Mr. Li said, any place is suitable. We have rented it for so many years and the customers all know the address. Not only can we not find a suitable one now, but even if we can find one, we will have to adapt to it.

Isn't this just asking for trouble?

"Brother Li, how about this, we continue to rent it at the original price?"

Mr. Li shook his head: "No need."

"Increase it a bit. I'll increase it by another 100 taels. How about that?"

"Farewell."

Cheng Shichuan gritted his teeth and said, "Three hundred, how about that? Or, Brother Li, you tell me a number."

"You've almost moved out, so just vacate the room now!"

After saying this, Mr. Li strode away regardless of anyone trying to stop him.

Cheng Shichuan wanted to chase after him, but Cheng Guanghan stopped him.

"Forget it, father, let him go, and we will look for other ones. Can't we find a suitable shop in Youcheng?"

His voice was not low, and Mr. Li heard it clearly and sneered inwardly.

idiot.

Originally, when Mrs. Cao approached him, she wanted him to make things difficult for the Cheng family. But as a landlord, how could he make things difficult for them? It was nothing more than a matter of rent.

But he has always been cautious and far-sighted. To have Madam Cao personally send someone to find him, the father and son of the Cheng family must have done something terrible.

It is not as simple as it seems.

So, he decided not to raise the rent, but to simply cut off cooperation with them.

Anyway, the shop was still there, so he didn't have to worry about renting it. He had also done what Mrs. Cao had asked him to do, so he didn't dare say that Mrs. Cao owed him a favor, but at least he could leave a good impression on her.

The Cheng family father and son have offended the Cao family without realizing it. The bad luck is yet to come, so it is better for them to stay away from them.

When Mrs. Cao heard the news, she laughed out loud and praised Mr. Li as a smart man.

This news soon reached Yan Ruyu's ears.

Yan Ruyu was also a little surprised at first: "Moving? Not renting anymore?"

"Cheng Guanghan is so successful, why did he suddenly stop renting? Could it be that he found a bigger shop?"

Bee Whistle smiled and replied: "Not really."
