Chapter 276: Eyeing up a property

The family of three walked inside and found that one building stood out from the rest. It was obviously much shorter than the other buildings. While the others had six floors, this one had only three.

The paint on it looked dull and old.

Even the large sign on top had lost a word, and the door was tightly locked, as if it had closed for good.

This situation made Gu Chen feel a little different. He looked around and looked at the building again.

He saw a few words written on it, Clothing City.

Gu Chen suddenly understood.

The buildings next to it are one higher than the other. Not to mention anything else, the other building has six floors while his has only three. Just from looking at the number of floors, there are three whole floors missing. People who come to go shopping would rather go to places with as many floors as possible.

So it should be a natural phenomenon for the old to be replaced by the new and for there to be omissions.

There is a small stand selling freshly squeezed fruit juice by the roadside. The salesperson inside is wearing a furry bunny costume with two long ears, which looks very cute. There are also all kinds of colourful fruit juices on the counter.

With this kind of attire and this bright colour scheme, it's hard not to be noticed.

After a few steps, Tangtang's gaze was attracted over there. The little one pointed at the staff member wearing the bunny costume, looking surprised, 'Dad, look, look!'

Gu Chen looked lovingly at Tangtang's face, with a smile between his brows, "Want some juice?'

Upon hearing this, the little one obediently nodded, "Mm-hm.'

Gu Chen hugged Tang Tang and walked over to the waiter and said, 'A glass of juice.'

Just as he was about to pay, he suddenly blurted out, pointing to the clothing mall diagonally opposite, "Did the clothing mall opposite close down?'

The waiter looked at the line of defence where he was pointing and nodded.

'Yes, that clothing mall started to fail two years ago. It couldn't hold on anymore and finally closed down a few months ago.'

Gu Chen thought for a moment and said, "Do you have the phone number of the staff there?'

To be honest, Gu Chen did have his eye on this building.

With 19.9 million in his pocket, buying the building should be no problem. As for what he would do with it, Gu Chen hadn't thought about it, and didn't need to.

This was Huacheng.

It was a first-tier city.

While the price of a house in Haicheng had risen from 1,000 to 7,000 in the future, it had already reached over 10,000 here.

Most importantly, this building was in the business district.

And it's such a good business district. Every inch of land here is worth a fortune, and there's no such thing as the most expensive, only the more expensive.

The profit margin is definitely not a little bit higher than selling a house in Haicheng. It's likely to be three or four times, and if the time is dragged on long enough, six or seven times is also possible.

After all, when the price of a house in Huacheng was 10,000 yuan, the price in Haicheng was only 5,000 yuan.

What's more, commercial property is not comparable to residential property.

So it's completely reasonable for Gu Chen to have this building in mind.

Hearing Gu Chen ask, the waiter, dressed in a bunny costume, smiled in surprise, 'It just so happens that I have a cousin who sells clothes there, you can ask him.'

On hearing this, Gu Chen's heart leapt with joy, 'That would be great, could you give me your cousin's practice method?'

The waiter handed Gu Chen the juice, and then bowed his head to write down a string of numbers in his little notebook, before tearing off the page with the numbers and giving it to Gu Chen.

'This is my cousin's phone number.'

Gu Chen clutched the slip of paper, said a few words of thanks, and then left with Ji Pianran and holding her hand.

Ji Pianran was very curious about his actions just now. She put her arm around Gu Chen's arm and asked in a soft voice, 'You're not thinking of buying that building, are you?'

To be honest, this idea was really bold.

But the only thing Ji Pianran could think of was that Gu Chen wanted to buy the building.

Gu Chen tilted his head and smiled at her, 'You're really clever!'

He really wanted to buy the building, but he still had to ask someone what the situation was before he knew for sure.

The family of three entered a relatively high-end shopping mall and took the elevator to the third floor. The third floor was for children's clothing, and it was full of children's clothing brands. Each store had a large floor area and was clean and tidy.

It was very pleasing to the eye.

He hugged his daughter and smiled tenderly at her.

'Do you want to come down and have a look? There are lots of pretty little clothes here.'

Little Tangtang was still sucking on the straw in her mouth, drinking orange juice little by little, but her dark eyes had already started to look around.

Her gaze was fixed on a children's clothing store not far away.

Seeing that her father had asked her a question, she immediately raised her little hand and pointed in that direction, 'Daddy, look, there's a Snow White dress over there!'

The little one loved Snow White the most, and in the storybook Snow White always wore a snow-white dress of one kind or another.

Seeing that Tangtang liked it, Gu Chen did not hesitate to walk over to the shop.

The shop assistant was a middle-aged woman who, seeing the family of three walk in, smiled politely, 'Good afternoon, sir and madam. Would you like spring or summer clothes?'

Gu Chen pointed to the dress that Tang Tang had just looked at, tilted her chin towards Tang Tang in her arms, and said, 'Get one in her size.'

Tang Tang is currently less than one meter, 94 to 5 centimeters. The salesperson looked at her and went to the back stockroom to get a 100-yard one and compared it to the little guy.

'This one is just right.' After saying that, she saw that Tang Tang was born with a good appearance and snow-white skin, and couldn't help but praise, "This child is really good-looking.'

Tang Tang looked at herself in the mirror, and the more she looked at it, the more she liked the dress. She wanted to wear it right now,

"Mom, I want to wear it now!'

Seeing this, Gu Chen smiled towards Ji Pianran, 'Take her to the fitting room to try it on.'

Ji Bianran nodded, smiling tenderly at Tang Tang, 'Let's go and try it on, shall we?'

Naturally, a mother also likes her child to look good.

Seeing Tang Tang happy made her heart inexplicably happy.

The mother and daughter entered the fitting room holding hands, and only then did Gu Chen take out the piece of paper the juice vendor had given her earlier, dialed the number on it, and prepared to ask about the situation.

The phone rang five times, and no one answered the first five times. Just as Gu Chen was about to hang up, a man's voice suddenly came from the other end: 'Lei Hou~'

'Hello, I heard that you bought clothes at the three-storey clothing mall in the Tianhe Road business district some time ago. May I ask if you have the contact information of the management staff?' Gu Chen spoke in standard Mandarin and got straight to the point.

Upon hearing this, the person on the other end of the line paused for a moment, 'That's very detailed.'

'Oh, let me introduce myself. My name is Gu Chen. Your phone number was given to me by your cousin, the one who sells fruit juice,' Gu Chen explained.

Hearing that the phone number was given by his cousin, the man was relieved.

'I see. Please hold on a moment while I send you Manager Wang's phone number to your mobile phone.'

Gu Chen hurriedly thanked him again.

After the call, Ji Pianran happened to be walking out with her daughter Tangtang. The little girl was wearing a white princess dress, and she looked so good that she looked like a real princess on the run!

The waiter kept praising, 'Wow, it fits so well, it's almost like it was tailor-made, it's even better than the little models in our advertisements!'
