The landlady’s daughter ran into a few more individuals on her way back. All of them opined on how cheap the clothes were during the promotional activities. One spent 200 yuan, another 300. Even the lowest one was over 100 yuan.
“For real. I heard it with my own ears and saw it with my own eyes. Their businesses are flourishing. Mom, think about it! At 4,000 to 5,000 yuan a day. Okay, let’s just say 4,000 yuan, 2,000 yuan profit. That’s still 60,000 yuan a month. We can make our money back in less than two months. How much do you think we will lose if we let her have the shop for 2 more years?” Yangyang, while holding onto her mother, tried to convince her.
“So we are going to hand over 90,000 yuan to her just like that?” The landlady’s heart ached when she thought of that.
Nevertheless, they were not able to go the government official route. Her friend from the government shouted at her for half a day last time and it almost cost her their friendship. That’s when they found out that Shu Yan knew the director of their department. With relationships like that, they would not stand a chance even if they called the cops.
The landlady didn’t understand how a foreigner could have such network.
“We are not just handing it over to her. Do you know how the numbers work here? Let’s take a conservative amount. Say 50,000 yuan a month. That’s 600,000 yuan a year, 1.2 million yuan in two years, not counting the remaining few months this year. That’s at least 1.3 million yuan we are talking about here. Just think about it. We are just going to sit around and watch her make money when we collect 800 yuan a month for rent?” Yangyang plopped down into the couch angrily. “I can’t just sit and take it.”
“Let me think about it some more.” The landlady wasn’t happy about it either. What was the point of 800 yuan a month in rent?
The landlord hesitated after the landlady repeated what her daughter had told her to him.
“Can we really make that much? Don’t forget that all the others that had rented that shop from us before her had lost money.”
“That’s because they didn’t know what they were doing. They sold the out-of-style, unattractive clothes. Who would want to buy those? If we take the shop back, we would do what Shu Yan does and sell that type of women clothes. Our daughter has good taste in clothing and she’s a sweet talker. Our business might even flourish more than Shu Yan’s. In any case, we can’t be worse off than her. Or would you rather just sit around and watch her make money with our storefront? We are talking about tens and thousands of yuan a month. We will make that back in 2 months. Everything after that will be pure profit.”
“Okay, then let’s take the shop back,” said the landlord as he slammed his thigh with his fist, having his mind made up.
Shu Yan received a call from the landlord within two days. Her lips curved a little. The fish had taken the bait.
“Why are you reaching out to me? If you want to take your storefront back, you better have the fine ready. That is non-negotiable,” said Shu Yan, feigning anger.
“Don’t worry. We have the money ready. We are taking our shop back for sure.”
Shu Yan did not look happy. “You guys have no morals.”
“Now why would you say such a thing? We have the compensation ready. We are talking about 90,000 yuan here. The store is our property and we are giving you money. We are the ones being stuck with the shorter end of the stick, alright?” The landlady hrumped when she saw the look on Shu Yan. “You can re-open another shop somewhere else immediately with this much money.”
The landlord and the landlady understood why Shu Yan looked unhappy. Her business was flourishing after all. They were basically removing her stream of revenue. It only made sense that she wasn’t happy with them.
