Chapter 45: Zhang Wanqian Is Just Dishonest, Just Like His Old Man!

"That's him!" the old man said. "The landlord of that shop!"

"Thank you, Uncle!"

Su Yang brought Ma Ran to the landlord, who asked directly:

"Are you the ones who want to rent?"

"Yes!"

The landlord, with a cigarette in his mouth, asked, "Did that old fellow say anything to you?"

"No, we just got off the bus!"

Su Yang said very naturally.

He certainly wouldn't betray the kind-hearted uncle.

"Oh!"

The landlord took out his keys, and after unlocking it, he pulled up the rolling shutter door.

After a loud rattling sound, Su Yang saw the situation inside the shop.

The tables and chairs in the shop had been almost completely cleared out, and a layer of dust had accumulated on the floor.

"What kind of shop are you opening?"

"A hotpot restaurant!"

"You have quite a good eye!" The landlord turned on the lights and said with a smile, "My shop's location is excellent. It's nearly three hundred square meters, and the monthly rent is only thirty thousand."

Su Yang was mentally prepared for a rent of thirty thousand.

The rent was indeed a bit more expensive than other nearby shops.

But there was a reason for the high price; the location of this storefront was indeed very good.

It could be considered one of the best storefronts on this street!

Just as Su Yang was about to agree, a familiar voice suddenly sounded beside him:

"Young man, let me tell you, you can't rent this shop!"

"Why can't I rent it?"

Su Yang asked instinctively.

However, after saying those words, he froze.

Turning around, he saw a smiling little old man holding a cattail leaf fan...

Wasn't this the uncle from the convenience store next door?

"The owner of this shop is dishonest. Last time, Zhang's Skewers opened a shop here, and business was incredibly booming. As a result, the landlord saw how good their business was and kicked them out..."

The forty-year-old landlord said angrily, "Li Guohong, don't you go wagging your tongue!"

"What do you mean wagging my tongue?" Uncle Li sneered. "Young man, you can ask around with the other neighbors in the neighborhood; they all know about this. This Zhang Wanqian is just dishonest, just like his old man!"

"You think he really wants to rent it to you? That's because he ruined the business himself!"

"Once you get the hotpot restaurant going, he might just kick you out too!"

By the time Uncle Li got to this point, Su Yang understood, no matter how slow he might be.

He naturally feigned a look of starting to hesitate.

Zhang Wanqian cursed angrily, "Li Guohong, don't go too far!"

Uncle Li laughed, "How am I going too far?"

Zhang Wanqian: "You think I don't know? Those few people who wanted to rent my storefront were all scared away by you!"

Uncle Li fanned himself a few times and countered, "Am I not telling the truth? They were clearly scared away by your character; don't you go framing me!"

"You!"

Zhang Wanqian pointed at Uncle Li, so angry he couldn't speak.

He raised his hand and walked quickly toward Uncle Li, looking like he was about to hit him!

Su Yang was just about to step in when he heard Uncle Li turn and ask, "Xu Juan, are you ready?"

Uncle Li's wife, not far away, held up her phone and gave an OK sign:

"I've been ready for a long time, I'm recording it all!"

"Come on! Do it!" Uncle Li pointed at Zhang Wanqian provocatively. "If you dare to hit me, I'll dare to lie down. Hit me a few more times, and maybe I can hire a nurse for the rest of my life!"

At this moment, Su Yang also stood between the two men.

If this kind-hearted Uncle Li really got hit, he wouldn't be able to bear it!

Without Su Yang even needing to pull him back, Zhang Wanqian stood where he was, not daring to take a step forward.

His face, however, turned beet red from holding back.

At this time, Ma Ran also hurried forward, standing with Su Yang to shield Uncle Li.

Uncle Li stood triumphantly behind Su Yang and Ma Ran and said:

"Zhang Wanqian, you're not even as ballsy as your old man; at least your old man really dared to fight me!"

"And not as ballsy as his mother either!"

Uncle Li's wife added.

Hearing this, Su Yang suddenly understood.

It turned out these two families had a long-standing grudge; it was probably a blood feud!

The kind where they had long since torn off all pretenses of civility!

"You think I'm afraid of you!"

Zhang Wanqian angrily raised his hand, about to rush over.

"Let's talk this out, don't use your hands, stay calm!"

Su Yang quickly grabbed his hand.

His hand was like a pair of iron pliers; Zhang Wanqian was completely unable to move under his grip!

However, Su Yang also noticed that Zhang Wanqian didn't seem to be using much force.

It seemed that, just as Li Guohong said, he was just putting on an act...

Consequently, the force in his own hand also relaxed.

Taking this opportunity, Su Yang quickly found a moment to use his Business Deduction skill.

The situation seemed to have changed; he had to make timely adjustments!

Seeing Zhang Wanqian held back by Su Yang, Uncle Li, who had been a bit nervous, continued to vent from behind him:

"I'm telling you, Zhang Wanqian, I, Li Guohong, will be squatting right here three hundred and sixty-five days a year. Whoever wants to rent your storefront, I'll tell them what kind of rotten people you Zhangs are... With me here, don't even dream of renting out this storefront for the rest of your life..."

"Little brother, let's go somewhere else to talk, ignore this old thing!"

As Zhang Wanqian spoke, he pulled Su Yang into the shop.

Su Yang feigned a very difficult expression.

It looked as if he was being dragged in by Zhang Wanqian against his will.

Seeing Su Yang being pulled in, Ma Ran immediately followed.

Once inside the shop, Zhang Wanqian said, "I'll rent this shop to you for thirty thousand a month, and business will definitely be booming!"

Su Yang hesitated, "I'll go back and consider it!"

"Twenty-eight thousand, how about that?" Seeing Li Guohong walking toward the shop, Zhang Wanqian felt a surge of irritation. "Twenty-eight thousand is definitely a bargain!"

Just as Su Yang was about to refuse, he heard Li Guohong standing at the shop entrance saying:

"Young man, don't rent his shop. I've lived here all my life; I'll introduce you to a good storefront and guarantee your business will be booming!"

"Get out! Get out! This is my shop! You're not allowed in!"

Seeing that Li Guohong still wanted to come in, Zhang Wanqian walked to the door in a few steps and pulled down the rolling shutter.

After pulling down the shutter, Zhang Wanqian finally caught his breath.

Could Li Guohong really find a better storefront than his?

Zhang Wanqian felt it was indeed possible!

"Little brother, how about twenty-eight thousand?"

At this time, the rolling shutter rattled loudly again, and Li Guohong's voice continued from outside: "Young man, don't you rent it. Maybe one day I'll start dumping manure in front of my own convenience store..."

"Uh..."

How ruthless!

Su Yang was dumbfounded.

Zhang Wanqian said, "Li Guohong, don't go too far!"

Uncle Li laughed, "I told you, with me here, don't even think about renting out this shop!"

Zhang Wanqian walked up to Su Yang in a few steps: "Little brother, how about twenty-eight thousand?"

Su Yang took a deep breath: "I think I still need to consider this matter carefully!"

"Twenty-seven thousand, I can't go any lower!" Zhang Wanqian said in a low voice. "That old man is just trying to scare you; he wouldn't actually do something like that!"

"But what if? If he really does that, my business will definitely be ruined!" Su Yang said very helplessly. "I can't afford to gamble!"

Zhang Wanqian scratched his scalp vigorously!

He knew Su Yang was telling the truth.

Who the hell would want to eat hotpot next to manure?

If Li Guohong did that just two or three times, all the nearby customers would run away.

He was so old; who could do anything to him!

"Like I said, no one will want your shop!" Li Guohong rattled the rolling shutter again. "That's right, young man, don't rent his shop. I'll introduce you to a better one. Come out, come out!"

"How about twenty-two thousand?"

Su Yang suddenly asked in a low voice.

"What?"

"Monthly rent of twenty-two thousand!"

"This is robbery!"

Zhang Wanqian almost jumped up on the spot.

He didn't expect that the harmless-looking Su Yang would be so black-hearted!
