70: Chapter 70 Buying a Shop While You're at It

Zhao Xiaoshuai saw that it was still early, so he made an appointment with Guan Xiaosu, preparing to enjoy his second skincare spa.

Since traffic was smooth today, he arrived earlier than scheduled, and Guan Xiaosu hadn't arrived yet.

Looking at the well-decorated shop, a thought suddenly struck him.

'Since she is a woman who has a relationship with me, she shouldn't live too poorly. Why not buy this shop so she has a career to pass the time?'

Coupled with the fact that development on Ling Rui's side was going very smoothly, it gave him a bit more confidence to use the multiplier silver card.

So, he asked the front desk and learned that their boss happened to be there today, so he requested a meeting.

After all, he was a big customer who had spent over a hundred thousand here, so the owner of Yuzhijia, Han Weizhi, accepted the meeting.

"Boss Han, your shop looks quite good. How much did you invest?"

Han Weizhi looked at the big customer in front of him, unable to understand his intentions, and pondered for a moment:

"It cost quite a bit. The franchise fee alone was nearly five hundred thousand, and with various equipment and labor costs, it added up to about a million. I haven't even broken even yet, haha."

"I'm a bit interested in this shop. I wonder if Boss Han has any thoughts about transferring it."

Han Weizhi raised an eyebrow. Instead of answering immediately, he began to recount the hardships of founding the shop, finally concluding:

"I built this shop brick by brick. To me, it's like a brother, a beloved friend. I really can't bear to part with it, I really can't."

Zhao Xiaoshuai couldn't be bothered to argue with him; it was nothing more than needing to pay more money.

"I'm an impatient person, so I'll make one offer. If it works, we can sign the contract right now. If not, consider it as if I never brought it up. My final offer is 3.33 million to buy your shop."

Han Weizhi didn't respond immediately but lit a cigarette and took a deep drag. A moment later, he made a call:

"Hello, Xiao Li? Help me draft a shop transfer contract. I need it now; bring it over once it's ready."

Zhao Xiaoshuai didn't wait long before a middle-aged man wearing glasses walked in carrying a briefcase.

It seemed that for some reason, Han Weizhi had long planned to sell the shop; the contract was ready-made.

Zhao Xiaoshuai also took out his phone, "Hello, Xiao Su? I'm in your boss's office. Come over and help me look at a contract."

Although Guan Xiaosu hadn't quit her job as a spa therapist, she only worked half a day, which was already a state of half-slacking off.

The usual business hours for this type of specialty spa shop were from about 11 or 12 in the morning to around 12 midnight, with the evening hours being the peak time for customers.

Their base salary was not high; everything was directly linked to performance, so her salary next month would likely be very dismal.

Recently, she had been asking for leave frequently due to her daughter's illness, which had caused obvious dissatisfaction from her boss.

However, because she had just won the sales championship and still had quite a few exclusive orders attached to her, the boss couldn't say anything too harsh openly, but it was different for the other employees.

"Oh my, isn't this the great sales champion Guan? What wind blew you here?"

Ever since she was inexplicably overtaken by her at the last moment last time, Zhuang Jiali would prick at her with a few words whenever they met.

And when she learned that the boss was also dissatisfied with Guan Xiaosu, Zhuang Jiali became even more unscrupulous, saying all sorts of nasty things in private.

Guan Xiaosu ignored the sarcastic Zhuang Jiali and said to the front desk, "I have an appointment in a while, help me book a room."

"Teacher Guan, are you talking about Brother Zhao? He came just a moment ago, but it seems he went to see the boss. I don't know what they are discussing, but he should be out soon."

"Okay, then I'll wait here for him to come out."

Zhuang Jiali, having been ignored, didn't give up; she pretended to chat with the front desk while continuing to attack Guan Xiaosu.

"Some people, relying on good luck and having a big boss top up some exclusive orders, don't even know their own worth anymore."

"They don't work properly, and they don't do their jobs properly."

"Thinking that it will be like this every month from now on."

"It's better to use your own hands, working steadily and honestly to earn money; that's what gives peace of mind."

"I won't chat with you anymore; my next appointment is due. It's been a bit tiring lately, but I'm making money hand over fist."

Tu Yuyu just offered a polite smile, not daring to respond. She stole a glance at Guan Xiaosu, who was sitting quietly in the corner of the lobby with an expressionless face, seemingly completely indifferent to Zhuang Jiali's sarcasm.

Remembering Brother Zhao who had entered the boss's office for a long time earlier, she didn't know what she was thinking, but she poured a glass of warm water and brought it over to Guan Xiaosu.

"Thank you." Guan Xiaosu took the water, glanced at the thoughtful front desk clerk, and didn't say much more.

It wasn't until a sudden phone call that she stood up and walked into the boss's office.

Things progressed very smoothly. Han Weizhi hadn't tampered with the contract; it seemed his sincerity in selling was quite genuine.

However, looking at his own employee helping an "outsider" meticulously scrutinize his contract word for word, Han Weizhi still felt a bit uncomfortable.

[ cash-back card - 1, multiplier silver card - 1 ]

[ This cash-back rate: 163%, final cash-back amount: 5,427,900 yuan ]

Although every time he used a silver card now, he felt he was "losing" one, seeing his savings break five million in such a short time still left Zhao Xiaoshuai quite satisfied.

"Hahaha, Boss Zhao is truly a straightforward person. Now I can have a good new year. From now on, you are the boss of this shop. I'll go pack up and make room for you."

"Boss Han, you're too polite. I won't be staying here usually, so there's no need to be so rushed. Xiao Su, you manage this place for me from now on. It doesn't matter if it makes money or not; just treat it as a place to pass the time."

Han Weizhi couldn't help but take another look at Guan Xiaosu. Although she was quite pretty, it didn't seem like she was worth millions.

Although Guan Xiaosu still maintained her usual cold expression on the outside, her inner shock was like raging waves.

Although she had once fantasized that one day, through hard work, she could open a small shop as her own career, she had never imagined that this day would come so soon.

And it was such a shop that was quite good in every aspect.

Han Weizhi enthusiastically escorted Zhao Xiaoshuai out personally; he was very satisfied that his shop could be sold for such a good price.

"Hello, Boss. Brother Zhao, your room is ready. Teacher Guan will take you there in a moment."

Tu Yuyu first politely greeted her boss before respectfully attending to the customer, but Han Weizhi waved his hand to interrupt her:

"Don't call me Boss anymore. This shop has been sold to Boss Zhao. From now on, Miss Guan should be managing you all. I will hold a meeting before closing tonight to announce it."

"Ah!?" Tu Yuyu was a bit dazed. How could the world have changed in the short time he was inside?

Naturally, Zhao Xiaoshuai didn't need to worry about the handover; he led Guan Xiaosu to the booked room.

Guan Xiaosu's eyes were not calm; although she was only managing it on his behalf, it was equivalent to giving her a career.

As long as she didn't run the business into the ground, the money she could earn each month would be several times her original salary. Coupled with his care for her daughter, she no longer knew how to repay this kindness.

The only way was to love him, serve him, and satisfy him with all her might.
