Xu Tonglin still didn't know about Xu Tongdao going out in the middle of the night.
Because Xu Tongdao came back in the middle of the night, when Xu Tonglin woke up in the morning, Xu Tongdao was sleeping on the bed as usual, without any flaws.
early morning.
Xu Tongdao, Xu Tonglin, and Ge Lianghua had breakfast noodles together, and then went to the store that was being renovated to do what they could.
For example, they give masons and cement mortar; for example, if there is a shortage of materials, they will send a person to buy it immediately; and for example, they can move bricks.
Comrade Xu was moving bricks to help the masons.
The mason is remodeling the kitchen according to his requirements today. After the kitchen remodel is completed, he will scrape a layer of white ash over the entire house and the hard decoration will be almost done.
Tongdao Xu estimates that he will be able to officially open the business here in three to five days.
Everything is going smoothly these days, which is pretty good.
but……
At around 8 o'clock in the morning, a middle-aged woman with a vegetable basket on her arm walked into his shop with a frown.
There were several handfuls of vegetables and a silver carp in the vegetable basket. The woman was about forty or fifty years old, wearing black fitness pants, a good sleeveless white shirt, and a pair of black leather shoes.
My hair is permed and curled.
She had powder on her face, lipstick on her face, and I guess she had her eyebrows drawn.
When Tongdao Xu saw her coming in, he subconsciously looked at her and felt that this woman's temperament should be considered a bit fashionable in this era.
I can't say that I'm good-looking. Although I'm not ugly, my face is a bit fierce, my waist is bloated, and I can't say that I have a good figure.
"What's the matter with you?"
Comrade Xu asked her.
This sentence attracted her attention. At this time, she looked at the location of the knocked-out wall between the two facades, and her expression was very ugly.
The tone was also very bad, "Who are you? Where is the owner of this store? Let him come out and talk to me quickly! Just say I am the landlord! Is he here? Call him quickly!"
landlord?
Such a cruel landlord?
Xu Tongdao frowned secretly. He had never seen this landlord before. He had signed the lease for these two stores before. One was signed by the owner of the beef noodle restaurant in the west, and the other was signed with the male landlord of the store in the east.
so……
Is this woman the landlord of the store on the west? Or is she the woman who owns the male landlord of the store on the east?
But no matter which store she is the landlord of, this woman is not a good person today, Comrade Xu has already noticed it.
Xu Tonglin and Ge Lianghua saw it at this time, and they didn't dare to come over.
Comrade Xu had a headache, but he greeted her enthusiastically on the surface. He wiped his hands on his clothes and reached out to her enthusiastically, "Hello, eldest sister! Hello! Can I ask, where are you from...
The landlord of the front store? Hehe, I rent these two stores. I don’t know if you have any opinions, please just tell me!"
"Did you rent it?"
The woman looked Xu Tongdao up and down with suspicious eyes, her brows furrowed even more tightly, "Are you lying to me? You are so young, are you twenty years old? Did you rent these two stores? I am that
The landlord of a store! You rented this house from Xiao Liu, right? This Xiao Liu! He sublet my house to others without even telling me. Looking back, how will I settle the score with him?"
She did not shake hands with Comrade Xu.
As she spoke, she gestured to the west facade with her chin, which was the original facade of Xiao Liu Beef Noodles.
With a smile on his face, Comrade Xu retracted his hands and nodded in agreement.
There is no way, the storefront is not yours, so you have to look at the landlord’s face.
His instinct told him that this woman was here to cause trouble today.
Sure enough, despite Comrade Xu's smiling face, the woman was still very dissatisfied, pointing to the place where the wall used to be between the two stores, and scolded: "Who asked you to knock on this wall? This house is mine, yes! According to the lease,
Xiao Liu has the right to sublet my facade to you, but you knocked down my wall without my permission. Who gave you the courage? Restore it to me quickly! And the wall in the kitchen
, please restore them to me as soon as possible! Otherwise, I will take back this house and not rent it to you! It’s really too much!!”
Comrade Xu had an even worse headache.
When he rented the east-facing storefront, he made an agreement with the male landlord to knock down the middle wall. Although the other party hesitated, he finally nodded in agreement.
But for this store on the west side, because he signed a sublease contract with the owner of Xiao Liu Beef Noodles, and Boss Liu didn’t have the landlord’s contact information, he couldn’t contact the landlord even if he wanted to.
We can only knock first and then talk.
He originally thought that the landlord wouldn't find out about it for a while. He would start the business first and then wait for the landlord to come and then think of ways to deal with it.
Who would have thought that the landlord would come to the house on his own so quickly?
However, he did not panic.
He believes that there is no problem that cannot be solved. The key is whether you can resolve the other party's anger.
"Okay, okay! Yes, yes! You are right! We must restore it, we must restore it! By the way, what do you call me, eldest sister? In fact, I have wanted to visit you for a long time, but Boss Liu doesn't have your contact information, so I
I really can’t find you! I’m so sorry! I’m really, really sorry!”
Comrade Xu kept smiling and saying good things.
I was already thinking about how to eliminate this woman's anger.
"You don't have my contact information?"
The woman was startled. The scowl on her face softened slightly, but she was still full of dissatisfaction. She looked at Comrade Xu again and said, "My surname is Fang! Do you really promise to restore this wall for me?"
Seeing that she was not as angry as before, Tongdao Xu made up his mind and quickly asked her if she had had breakfast.
I heard she hadn't eaten yet.
Tongdao Xu quickly invited her to have breakfast at a breakfast shop not far away.
She was unwilling at first, but Comrade Xu said: "Sister, let's go, let's go! Look, my place is still being renovated. It's dusty and dirty everywhere. There's not even a place to sit. Let's go eat together."
Please hurry up and discuss this matter carefully by the way. Give me face? Give me face, okay? I also want to discuss extending the lease with you! Okay?"
"Really? You really want to extend the lease?"
She was a little surprised, the angry look on her face was gone.
Tongdao Xu nodded repeatedly, took her arm, and pulled her out of the store, half inviting and half pulling her, and went to a breakfast shop not far away.
Chinese people generally like to talk about things while eating and drinking.
Tongdao Xu thinks this is very scientific.
Because he heard that people will feel happy when they eat. The more delicious the food, the stronger the feeling of happiness.
When a person feels happy and comfortable, it is often easier to talk.
On the contrary, when talking to people face to face, it is often not easy to achieve success, and it is easy to form a tit-for-tat confrontation.
When they arrived at the breakfast shop, Xu Tongdao ordered her soy milk, fried dough sticks, fried dumplings, and two bowls of wontons.
Two bowls of wontons, one for himself and one for her.
Looking at the breakfast table, the woman's expression softened a little. She took a breath, raised her eyes and asked, "Xiao Xu! Do you really promise to restore that wall to its original state?"
On the way to the breakfast shop just now, Tongdao Xu introduced himself.
"That's for sure! I will definitely restore it to you! But, Sister Fang, let's not talk about this first, shall we? Let's talk about extending the lease first? By the way, and also, do you have any relatives in your family who want to come out?
Do you want to work? I'll tell you the truth! I'm still short of two waiters and a dishwasher here. I wonder if you can introduce two to me? Hehe."
He has already used the delaying tactic to stabilize her first.
As long as the last two things are negotiated and the wall is restored, will she still insist on it?
