Chapter 316: The new son-in-law's visit scared the hell out of me!

Three hundred and seventeen came to the shop to help out

After a few days, Wang Dachun was beyond words in his gratitude for Gu Chen's new job offer. He simply couldn't wait to help him sell a few hundred clothes as a way of repaying him.

Although the clothes had not yet arrived, he still went to Gu Chen's fruit store early in the morning.

He started to help out, carrying things and dusting, and they worked together up and down the store.

After discussing it with Ji Pianran in the morning, Gu Chen also felt that it was time to open another new store.

Of course, although the business at his fruit store was booming, it was even in short supply every day.

However, Gu Chen had invested a lot of money before, and in such a short time, it was simply not enough to pay back the money.

And it was definitely impossible to buy and renovate a store as extravagantly as before.

So Gu Chen finally followed Ji Pianran's advice and was going to find a suitable store to rent first.

After all, the Haicheng Fashion Expo would be opening soon, and if their new clothing really attracted people's attention,

they couldn't take their customers to the warehouse to look around when they came to buy.

If they act unprofessionally, I'm afraid people will be scared off.

Gu Chen thought to herself, and when she finished with the fruit shop, it was already past noon.

Wang Dachun was still working hard, and even went out to buy groceries and start cooking for everyone.

'By the way, Dachun, you've been in Haicheng longer than I have. Do you know of any shops for rent? The location should be close to the commercial district, with decoration, and a place that's more suitable for a clothing store?'

Gu Chen was still quite worried about renting a shop. It wasn't because he lacked money, but because the internet was still in its infancy and hadn't yet become widespread.

Even for many ordinary people, private companies are still a relatively new term.

In the future, real estate agents will be seen everywhere, even to the point of being ubiquitous, and they will be a nuisance. But now there is not one.

Whether you can find a suitable shop to rent depends entirely on 'acquaintances'.

For locals, this is not a difficult task, but for someone like Gu Chen, who has just moved from the countryside, this is really a minor problem.

At this, Da Chun, who was busy eating, suddenly became excited when he heard this.

Although he hasn't done well over the years, he has at least been working in Haicheng since high school.

Plus, in order to sell clothes, he has been setting up stalls all over the place.

He is now familiar with the area, and is even not too bad with many locals.

As soon as he heard Gu Chen say this, he swallowed the noodles in his mouth in an instant and spoke without hesitation.

'Gu Chen, I do know the perfect place for all these requirements. It's on Xingye Road, and it used to be a special supply store. It's very spacious, and it used to be a great place to sell high-end imported goods.'

But when he said this, his eyes immediately dimmed.

'It's just that the rent for that place is too high. I heard that it's at least 5,000 or 6,000 yuan a month, and it has to be rented for at least a year at a time.'

Gu Chen heard that there was actually such a good place, so he immediately pulled Da Chun towards Santana.

Although the rent did sound a bit high, this was not before he was reborn.

Many places just deliberately set a high price and wait for people to come and negotiate, and it may not actually be necessary to be that high.

Not to mention, now that his fruit store is making a fortune every day, even if the price really can't be cut in the end.

As long as the place is suitable, Gu Chen can also afford it.

'Brother Chen, I haven't finished eating yet!' Da Chun looked back with reluctance at the bowl of steaming noodles he had eaten most of.

'Oops, I'll treat you to something nice after we've finished our business!'

Da Chun was originally embarrassed and full of his own noodles, but when he heard the word "nice", he immediately perked up.

'Little Rooster, how about stir-fried little rooster?'

Gu Chen spoke decisively, 'A cold dish of beef tendon at home!'

'Great!'

This is his favourite.

With Da Chun'er's guidance, the two quickly drove to the storefront that was being prepared for rent.

As soon as Gu Chen got out of the car, he was immediately captivated by the building in front of him.

Although the place was nominally called a 'specialty store', it was actually very large, with at least 300 to 400 square metres of floor space on two floors.

And because it had previously specialised in imports, the interior style was also very Western and luxurious.

The floor-to-ceiling windows made it look bright and clean!

Even compared to the shopping malls before his rebirth, the decoration here was definitely not inferior.

Seeing someone walk in, the manager, who had been lazily basking in the sun behind the counter, was originally a bit too lazy to pay any attention.

But as soon as he saw Gu Chen's appearance, he couldn't help but freeze for a moment.

Then, not believing his eyes, he rubbed his eyes hard. When he saw the two people in front of him, Gu Chen and Wang Dachun, who looked confused, he almost instantly changed his expression and hurriedly and enthusiastically entertained them.

What Wang Dachun and Gu Chen didn't know was that this speciality store was actually one of the properties of the Ji family in Sichuan City.

And the manager was naturally one of the top executives sent by the Ji family to Haicheng.

Although the Ji family had issued an internal gag order, no one was allowed to talk about the whereabouts of the eldest daughter, Ji Pianran.

However, due to his position, he still knew some inside information and had even obtained some gossipy photos, especially when he saw Gu Chen.

He immediately realised that this was the eldest daughter's husband!

The hottest new son-in-law in the Ji family had come to visit!!!

As the saying goes, the current manager is better than the county magistrate. The manager was instantly on edge when he saw Gu Chen.

For a moment, he even wondered if Gu Chen had come to inspect the place.

'Two guests, what can I do for you today?'

The manager asked, bowing low and standing on Gu Chen's side.

Gu Chen was puzzled, especially when he saw the other person's servile and attentive appearance.

He was even more polite than the salespersons in the shopping malls before his rebirth, which made him confused for a moment.

'Is it fashionable these days to say that the customer is God?'

Wang Dachun, who was standing to the side, was even more shocked to the point that his eyes were about to pop out.

Because he had seen more than once before that the manager of this store always treated others with a condescending air.

Especially ordinary people like him, even if they met, they might not even bother to pay any attention.

But now that he met Gu Chen, he was full of flattery, and his face was smiling so broadly that it reached the roots of his ears.

You have to understand that this is the manager of a speciality store, a completely unreachable and unimaginable existence in the past.

Wang Dachun was absolutely shocked at the moment, and looking at his childhood friend Gu Chen next to him, his heart was also filled with awe.

'You don't have to be so nervous. We just heard today that it is about to be rented out, so we want to take a look. By the way, manager, how much do you expect to charge in rent each month?'

Gu Chen finished speaking and then turned his head to look at him seriously.

As soon as he heard that it turned out to be renting a shop, not an inspection, the manager finally let out a small sigh of relief.

However, he soon realised that Gu Chen, the new master of the house, had said this, so he must not be trying to test him with an offer, is he?

Thinking about this, his heart immediately lifted.
