Chapter 354 Signing a Contract
While waiting for Zhong Ruiyu and Zheng Zhiyuan to arrive with people from the government office, Zheng Sisi and Sheng Zhen, under the guidance of the landlord, had already re-inspected all the shops, which allowed Zheng Sisi to have a better understanding of the layout of the shops and a clearer idea of the business scope and decoration of the shops on the street in the future.
They borrowed Uncle Li's yard, set up a few tables, and the people from the government office worked together, each doing their own job.
The few of them also discussed renting a shop in Zheng Sisi's name, and then investing the money after returning. Zheng Sisi didn't care about this.
She and Sheng Zhen went back to the carriage and took a box down from it. This was the box that Zheng Sisi had taken with her when she went out in the morning. In fact, she had kept it in the space and showed it in public to hide her identity.
Zheng Sisi took the box and sat at the last table. She took out all the banknotes and change in the box. She saw the rent written on the deed, paid the money and collected the deed. Then she took out the contract written yesterday and asked everyone to sign and stamp their fingerprints. Afraid that everyone was not clear about the content of the contract, Sheng Zhen read it out and explained it to everyone.
This surprised the chief clerk and several yamen runners who came to handle the formalities. They felt that this contract was really clever and could prevent many small accidents between them and the homeowner in the future.
Once everyone signs the contract and receives the money and the contract, the lease of the house will take effect and the right to speak will belong to Zheng Sisi.
With more people, things can be done faster. The procedures for more than 30 households were completed in one hour. If you go to the government office to handle it, it may take more than a day to complete.
Zheng Sisi said to all the residents: "The shop lease has now taken effect. I will give you two days to move the things in the shop and make your own doors. After two days, I will take care of the place."
Everyone nodded in understanding and said they would all move out so as not to cause trouble for the county lady.
The people in the government office were very curious about why the Princess of Anping rented a shop on a street.
The chief clerk also asked: "May I ask what the county lady is going to do by renting so many shops?"
Zheng Sisi smiled and said, "Open a food shop."
"Uh"
Renting so many shops to run food business, is this Princess Anping mentally ill? But the Third Prince and Master Zhong seem to support it. Is there something else, but the Princess didn't say it. Whatever, I am just following orders and I don't care about other things. I have to go back after I finish my work.
The chief clerk bowed to them and said, "Third Prince, Princess Anping, Master Zhong, Master Zheng, the matter has been settled. I will go back and report."
Zheng Sisi said, "Thank you for your hard work, it's already noon time, and you won't have any food to eat when you go back. I can't let you work on an empty stomach, right? I have prepared food in the reception building, and you can go there and have a simple meal."
The chief clerk was stunned and said, "This is not good."
Oh my god, eating in the Yingbin Building, this is something they dare not even think about. With their monthly salary and rank, they can't even enter the Yingbin Building. Their immediate superiors have to queue up if they want to book a private room in the Yingbin Building. Now the county lady invited them to eat in the Yingbin Building, even if it was just a simple meal, it was an honor.
Zhong Ruiyu said, "There's nothing wrong with it. I told the old man that you are on a business trip and you have to do a good job before you go back, so you just need to go back before leaving the government office. Let's get in the car and go eat."
Zhong Ruiyu didn't give him a chance to refute, and pulled the chief clerk away. The chief clerk staggered a bit, but had no choice but to follow. Since he already had a superior, the few people he brought with him had no choice but to follow.
The county lady politely said it was a simple meal, but they had eaten all kinds of legendary delicacies today, some of which they had never seen or heard of. There were braised pork, stewed food, lotus root soup, lotus root tips, spare ribs, flavored shrimp, eel, loach, and vegetables they had never heard of. Even the snacks at the end were memorable. It was a feast for the eyes and the taste buds.
Several people were thinking that they would have something to brag about for a while after returning.
In the end, they all returned to the government office with their bulging bellies. Their treatment made their colleagues envious, and they all regretted why they did not fight for it at the time, otherwise they would have enjoyed these treatments as well.
After that, it was also spread in a small circle that whenever Princess Anping needed help, everyone would fight to go because Princess Anping was so domineering. She would always invite people to drink tea and eat, and she would treat them like VIPs.
Of course, Zheng Sisi didn't know about this. She adhered to the principle of being kind to others, more friends mean more paths, more enemies mean more walls, and she didn't think too much about it.
