Return To 1998

Xu Tonglin still didn't know about Xu Tongdao going out in the middle of the night.

Because Xu Tongdao came back in the middle of the night, when Xu Tonglin woke up in the morning, Xu Tongdao slept on the bed as usual without any flaws.

early morning.

Xu Tongdao, Xu Tonglin, and Ge Lianghua had breakfast noodles together, and then came to the store that was being renovated to do something they could.

For example, for masons and cement mortar; for example, if there is a shortage of materials, they will send someone to buy it immediately; for example, to move bricks.

Tongdao Xu was moving bricks to help the masons.

The mason is remodeling the kitchen according to his requirements today. After the kitchen renovation is completed, he will scrape a layer of white ash on the whole house, and the hard decoration will be almost done.

Xu Tongdao estimates that in three or five days, he will be able to officially open here.

Everything has been going well these days, pretty good.

but……

At 8:00 in the morning, a middle-aged woman with a vegetable basket on her arm walked into his shop with a frown.

There were a few handfuls of vegetables and a silver carp in the basket. The woman was about forty or fifty years old. She was wearing black fitness pants, a solid sleeveless white shirt, and a pair of black leather shoes.

Hair permed.

The face is smeared with powder, lipstick is painted, and the eyebrows should be drawn visually.

When Xu Tongdao saw her entering the door, he looked at her subconsciously, feeling that the temperament of this woman should be a bit fashionable in this era.

It's not good-looking. Although he is not ugly, his face is a little fierce, his waist is bloated, and he can't talk about a good figure.

What's the matter with you?

Xu Tongdao asked her.

This sentence attracted her attention. At this time, she looked at the position of the knocked-off wall in the middle of the two facades, and her face was very ugly.

The tone was also very bad, Who are you? Where's the owner of this store? Let him come out and talk to me! Just say I'm the landlord! Is anyone else around? Call me quickly!

landlord?

Such a vicious landlord?

Tongdao Xu frowned secretly. He had never seen this landlord before. He signed the leases for these two stores before, one was signed by the owner of the beef noodle restaurant in the west, and the other was signed by the landlord of the east one.

so……

Is this woman the landlord of the store on the west side? Or is it the woman of the male landlady on the east side?

But no matter which house the landlord is, this woman is not a good person today, and Xu Tongdao has already seen it.

When Xu Tonglin and Ge Lianghua saw it at this time, they didn't dare to come over.

Tongdao Xu had a bit of a headache, but on the surface he greeted him enthusiastically, wiped his hands on his clothes, and enthusiastically reached out to her, Hello, eldest sister! Hello! Can I ask, which one are you... The landlord of the facade? Hey, I rent these two stores, I don’t know what your opinion is, please speak up!”

You rented?

The woman looked at Tongdao Xu with suspicious eyes, her brows furrowed even tighter, Aren't you lying to me? You are so young, are you twenty years old? Are you renting these two stores? I am that The landlord of a storefront! You rented this house with Xiao Liu, right? This Xiao Liu! He sublet my house to someone without telling me, and I will see how I settle the account with him!

She did not shake hands with Xu Tongdao.

As she spoke, she gestured to the west facade with her chin, which was the facade of the original Xiao Liu Beef Noodles.

Xu Tongdao accompanied the smiling face, retracted his hands, and nodded repeatedly.

No way, the facade is not his own, then it depends on the landlord's face.

His intuition told him - this woman is here to make trouble today.

Sure enough, even though Tongdao Xu accompanied the smiling face, the woman pointed at the place where there used to be a wall between the two storefronts with dissatisfaction, and scolded: Who asked you to knock on this wall? This house is mine, yes! According to the lease agreement, Xiao Liu has the right to sublease my storefront to you.

But you knocked on my wall without my permission, who gave you the courage? Restore it to me now! And the wall in the kitchen, quickly restore it to me! Otherwise, I will take this house back and not rent it to you! It's too much! !

Tongdao Xu had even more headaches.

When he rented the facade on the east side, he agreed with the male landlord to knock down the wall in the middle. Although the other party hesitated, he finally nodded in agreement.

But for this facade on the west side, because he signed a sublease contract with the owner of Xiao Liu Beef Noodles, and that owner Liu did not have the landlord's contact information, he wanted to contact the landlord, but he couldn't.

Just hit it first.

He thought that the landlord would not find out about this matter for a while, so he would start the business first, and then wait for the landlord to come, and then find a way to deal with it.

Who would have thought that the landlord would come to the door so quickly.

However, he was not flustered.

He believed that there was no problem that could not be solved. The key was to see if he could resolve the anger of the other party.

Okay! That's right! You're right! To restore, indeed to restore! By the way, what is your name, eldest sister? In fact, I have wanted to visit you for a long time, but Boss Liu does not have your contact information. I really can't find you! I'm so sorry! I'm really sorry!

Xu Tongdao accompanies the smiling face and speaks kind words.

Already thinking about how to dispel this woman's anger.

Don't have my contact information?

The woman was stunned, the anger on her face softened a little, but she was still full of displeasure. She looked at Tongdao Xu again, and she said, My surname is Fang! You really promised to restore this wall for me?

Seeing that she was not as angry as just now, Tongdao Xu was determined, and quickly asked her if she had eaten breakfast?

I heard that she hasn't eaten yet.

Tongdao Xu hurriedly invited her to have breakfast at a breakfast shop not far away.

She was originally reluctant, but Xu Tongdao said: Eldest sister, let's go! You see that my place is still being renovated. It's gray and dirty everywhere, and there's not even a place to sit. Let's go eat together. Come early, discuss this matter well by the way, and give me face? Give me face, please? I also want to discuss with you about extending the lease! Okay?

Really? Do you really want to extend the lease?

She was a little surprised, the anger on her face had disappeared.

Tongdao Xu nodded again and again, pulled her arm, and pulled her out of the shop door, and went to the breakfast shop not far away.

Chinese people generally like to talk about things while eating and drinking.

Xu Tongdao thinks this is very scientific.

Because he heard that when people eat, they will have a sense of happiness, and the more delicious the food, the stronger the sense of happiness.

When a person feels happy and comfortable, it is often easier to talk.

On the contrary, when people stand face to face and talk about things, it is often not easy to negotiate, and it is easy to form a tit-for-tat confrontation.

When she arrived at the breakfast shop, Tongdao Xu ordered her soy milk, fried dough sticks, fried dumplings, and two bowls of wontons.

Two bowls of wontons, one for himself and another for her.

Looking at a table for breakfast, the woman's face softened again, and after a sigh of relief, she raised her eyes and asked, Xiao Xu! You really promised me to restore that wall to its original shape?

On the way to the breakfast store just now, Tongdao Xu had already introduced himself.

That's for sure! It will definitely be restored to you! But, Sister Fang, let's not talk about this first, shall we? Let's talk about extending the lease first? By the way, what relatives in your family want to come up with? Do you work part-time? To tell you the truth! I still need two waiters and a dishwasher here. I wonder if you can introduce them to me? Hehe.

He had already used the strategy of slowing down the troops, and stabilized her first.

As long as the latter two things are settled, will she still insist on restoring the wall?
