591 A Good Place

Chu Ning caught a whiff of the oil and smoke emanating from their bodies, which meant that they had been in the kitchen for a long time. In this way, their identities were obvious.

“President Chu, this place of yours is too good. This is what I’ve been longing for and thinking about day and night, and I’ve finally seen an opportunity.” Jiang Chuan put down his teacup and rubbed his hands excitedly, his eyes full of anticipation.

If the staff outside saw this, they would think that this person had some kind of split personality disorder…

“I can let you station here and open a mobile snack bar, but there are certain rules you have to abide by. Also…” When Chu Ning said this, she paused for a moment and her gaze slowly swept across the few of them.

“The rent here is not low,” Chu Ning continued.

“We were already mentally prepared for this before we came. President Chu, don’t worry. As long as you agree to give us a stall, the rest can be discussed.”

“Yes, President Chu. It’s too difficult for us to do business normally. When we’ve just made a name for ourselves on a street, we’ll be targeted by a city enforcement officer. If we dare go against him, he’ll really confiscate all my things and even have mete out a more serious punishment.”

“President Chu, as long as we can continue to operate here for the long term, the price we pay will be worth it. There’s a lot of human traffic here, and there’s no such thing as business being bad. As long as the food is edible, it’s fine. Besides, we’ve been making snacks for many years. Would we have been able to survive without any skills?”

“You look young, but could actually tell what our identities are just like that. Just fantastic!”

After hearing that Chu Ning was interested in renting out stalls, the originally quiet office instantly became lively. Several people expressed their own ideas.

What these people didn’t know was that, while they were looking for Chu Ning, wasn’t she also awaiting their appearance?

If The Parade wanted to develop and grow, it had to have multiple functions.

What attracted people to The Parade currently was the various kinds of artists there, but this alone was not sustainable. When visitors were tired of having fun, they needed to eat. Even more than that, they needed an environment that could sufficiently relax them. They needed a supermarket, a bar, and a place to sleep… In short, the development of The Parade was closely tied to improvement of the infrastructure.

“Alright, I’m guessing you’re not the only ones who want to ask me about the rent, right?” Chu Ning waved her hand, signaling them to quiet down.

She was actually willing to provide the venue for a win-win situation.

“President Chu, I won’t hide it from you. Indeed, many of our peers are waiting eagerly for us to go back and give them a definite result. Who wouldn’t be jealous of such a great opportunity to make money? You have to know that according to the flow of people, we will lose money if we lose one day of business…” Jiang Chuan looked at Chu Ning awkwardly and didn’t continue. This involved their income.

Before they officially signed the contract with Chu Ning, they still had some misgivings.

“I will carve out a separate area in The Parade. This is the place where delicacies in The Parade can be tried. How much space do you usually need for your own business?” Chu Ning thought for a moment and asked.

With the rapid changes, she now had to make a rough plan for the internal space of The Parade. If she did not do so, it would bring a lot of trouble to the future development.

“It would be best if it’s 30 square meters,” Jiang Chuan said after some thought.

The remaining four people did not speak. Clearly, their thoughts were similar to Jiang Chuan’s. Such a large area was sufficient for a food stall; placing some tables and stools there would complete the picture.

“30 square meters?” Chu Ning softly muttered to herself, an overview of The Parade appearing in her mind.

“If it’s really not possible, 25 square meters is fine,” Jiang Chuan hurriedly said when he saw that Chu Ning was deep in thought.

Chu Ning came back to her senses. “What? I didn’t say no.”

“In that case, President Chu, for the rental and the term…” Jiang Chuan continued to ask.

“How do you want to calculate it?” Chu Ning asked with interest.

She didn’t know much about this. After all, Chu Ning had never thought that she would one day have the identity of a landlady. An eighteen-year-old landlady was very rare.

After waiting for a few minutes, Jiang Chuan looked at Chu Ning and asked carefully, “Is it okay to do it once every six months?”

In fact, they wanted to rent it for a year or even three years at one shot, but Chu Ning might not agree to it. Moreover, if it was for three years, taking out so much rent at once would be a lot of pressure on these small businesses.
