Chapter 159 Termination of Lease
Chapter 159 Termination of Lease
This is not because the store is shabby, but because the things inside form a sharp contrast with the surrounding environment.
Although it was still the same street, the shops were nicely decorated and there were a lot of people, but the shops were empty and there were people everywhere.
It's like there is a scary monster inside.
The uncle and nephew looked at each other, and saw confusion in each other's eyes. Finally, Jiang Yao was the first to stand up.
"Normally, there shouldn't be any business in such a busy place. Uncle, let's go check and see if there's anything wrong."
"Okay, stay with your uncle. If anything happens, leave quickly." Lu Chaoshan looked alert and his voice became serious, as if he had entered a dangerous place.
Seeing him like this, Jiang Yao was no longer worried and followed him, slowly entering the store.
The two waited in the store for a long time, but no one came to greet them. The things in the store were also in a mess, and people lost interest at first sight.
Jiang Yao finally understood why the business in the store was so bad, but she couldn't understand why the store was made like this. It looked bright and beautiful on the outside, but was actually a pile of garbage.
Seeing no one responded, Jiang Yao walked towards the front desk and motioned to her uncle to show the store contract to the man in manager's clothes.
Before Jiang Yao and the others could say anything, that person suddenly spoke, his voice full of anxiety.
"Where did the contract come from?" After he finished speaking, he suddenly realized something and looked up and down at Lu Chaoshan next to Jiang Yao.
Just when the two were confused, the shopkeeper had a look of joy on his face.
"If my guess is correct, then you must be the owner of this store, Lu Chaoshan? You are finally here!"
Lu Chaoshan was somewhat confused by his sudden change, but he just responded politely.
"Oh? Do you know who I am? Or rather, what do you want to do?"
When asked this, the man suddenly felt embarrassed and waved his hand apologetically.
"I'm sorry, I was so excited to see you that I lost my composure a little."
"In fact, I was deceived by the Qian family, so I opened this store."
When the Qian family was mentioned, the man's face became very gloomy, his eyes were full of anger, and he looked like he wanted to tear the Qian family into pieces.
Seeing him so excited, Jiang Yao knew that this guy was cheated by the Qian family. She was afraid that he would blame her uncle, so she spoke up.
"You should go find the Qian family. My uncle has already divorced the Qian family. It's no use asking my uncle again."
Seeing a hint of caution in her tone, the owner quickly spoke.
"Little girl, you're wrong. I don't mean to embarrass you. I just need your help with something."
"That's what happened. When I bought this store, they said they had left the key at home. Later, when I saw that this store was decorated so well, I thought it was the same thing."
"Besides, the price they offered was very fair. I was new here and had no experience, so I followed their advice and rented a shop."
"I think everyone already knows the consequences of this incident."
It was obvious that the store had been abandoned for a long time.
Everything in the store looked a bit shabby and even dirty, which was hard to accept.
Just when Jiang Yao was lost in thought, the boss' eyes suddenly lit up, as if he had seen a life-saving straw.
"Then I planned to offer them a high price to terminate the contract, but they refused to do so and told me that the store did not belong to them at all. After that, I checked the property ownership certificate and found that their names were indeed not on it. In the end, I had no choice but to give up."
"When I saw you two coming here today, I knew that you were the owners of this store, so I came to discuss with you whether we can terminate the lease contract for this store."
After explaining the whole process, Jiang Yao was completely confused.
She glanced at the shop owner secretly, and seeing that he had no intention of lying, she continued to ask.
"Since it's already like this, you can just continue to run your business. Why let this store become like this?"
"Little girl, do you think I don't want to?" The boss sighed, as if he was reminiscing about the past, and his eyebrows were twisted into a ball.
As long as my store's business is good, the Qian family will raise the rent. If I don't pay, they will definitely come and make trouble."
"Look, there's a big hole in the shelf. They made it with a shovel. How can I do business with them making such a fuss?"
All the questions were answered, and the uncle and nephew looked at each other with a hint of pity in their eyes.
The two nodded at the boss, then walked aside and talked in low voices.
He agreed to his boss's termination letter.
But Jiang Yao believes that this boss still has great potential.
Moreover, the other party has been the manager here for such a long time that he knows everything about the surrounding area very well.
Therefore, she asked her uncle to stay and talk to the boss, which would be good for her future development. She went to the store again and reported today's events to Lu and others.
Mrs. Lu and Old Lady Lu must have been very anxious after staying outside for such a long time.
However, it was not the two of them who were worried, but the Qian family.
After Jiang Yao and others left, the family's attitude towards Qian became contemptuous.
This made Qian very depressed.
Suddenly, she remembered the determined expression on Lu Chaoshan's face when he left, and she became furious and started yelling at the group of people in the yard.
"Why are you looking at me like that? This divorce is not something I can decide on my own! Besides, haven't you done the same with the gifts I gave you over the years?"
"But now, when something happens to me, you start to mock me? No way! Otherwise, I will--"
Before Mrs. Lu finished her words, she had already smashed the cane in her hand towards Qian, her hoarse voice filled with anger.
"What are you going to do? I'm not dead yet! Do you think you are the master of this family?"
"You stay at home obediently, otherwise, don't blame me for being cruel and selling you out to human traffickers!"
