Abandoned the Immortal Cultivator, returned to his hometown to farm and sing

Chapter 1241, page 1130: Fate.

Yao Junbo was still thinking about this matter when he went to eat at Jiweilou Restaurant.

I was still thinking about it after I finished eating.

When I looked up, I ran into an acquaintance at the entrance of Jiweilou.

Mr. Liu, the boss of Pretty Cat, is on the phone at the door.

It's been more than a year since we last met.

The last time I saw him was after his daughter finished her college entrance exams at Pretty BBQ, where he even gave me three boxes of fragrant mulberries.

His daughter still keeps those three boxes; she treasures them like precious gems, and he, as her father, won't let her touch them.

Before I knew it, my daughter was already a sophomore in college...

Yao Junbo wanted to say hello, but he had some concerns.

After all, Mr. Liu's status is different now. He is a big boss. Everyone in Tianhan knows Qiaomao Cat Group. He has been recognized as an outstanding private entrepreneur in Tianhan. It is said that the group's scale is several billion yuan, ranking among the top in Tianhan, even stronger than airplane manufacturers.

Although I met Mr. Liu when we were both nobody, our statuses are now so different. Does he even recognize me anymore?

I really know each other.

Liu Piaoliang saw Yao Junbo when she made the call and waved to him.

After I finished the call, I came right over.

He was as enthusiastic as ever, calling me Brother Yao right away and even offering me a cigarette.

The cigarettes are good, Su-Yan Yipinmei, one hundred yuan a pack.

What moved Yao Junbo was not that he was offered a cigarette he had never been able to afford in his life, but that General Manager Liu offered him a cigarette and called him Brother Yao.

Oh dear, why didn't you bring your daughter today? If he had her take a picture of them together, he could have bragged about it for years.

The two of them sat at the entrance of the Jiweilou restaurant, smoking and chatting about their recent lives.

Liu Piaoliang is incredibly good at reading people; she could tell at a glance that Yao Junbo had something on his mind.

Just mentioning it casually.

Yao Junbo then explained his predicament.

Then, Liu Piaoliang gave him some pointers.

“Brother Yao, if the price is right, just sell it. The price increase in your neighborhood is only temporary, just for a while.”

"Because of the opening of Jiweilou, a large group of wealthy gourmets have been attracted, and they are the ones who are buying the houses."

"There are only a limited number of these people. Once they've bought everything they need, the housing prices will definitely drop again. So, you should act now."

This is genuine inside information. Mr. Liu, who runs such a large business, would never lie to him.

Yao Junbo made up his mind on the spot.

Liu Piaoliang also gave him some pointers, introducing him to a new residential community called Shanshui Mingyuan that had just opened in the south of the city, saying that the conditions were quite good.

The main advantage is that these are ready-built properties, so there's no need to wait.

Before leaving, he even gave Yao Junbo his assistant's phone number...
-
Liu Piaoliang might casually say something and then forget about it the next day.

But the fate of Yao Junbo's family was changed from that moment on.

After returning home, the couple discussed it all night, and the next day they listed the house with a real estate agency.

The customer arrived that very day.

Several groups.

His house is in a good location.

Right behind Jiweilou, you can smell the aroma of stir-fried dishes as soon as you open the living room window.

If you look down from upstairs occasionally, you can see food being delivered to the kitchen.

Normally, this wouldn't be a good thing. Opening the window would fill the whole house with cooking fumes, and who could stand it for long?

But now it's a top-tier, exquisite mansion.

Connoisseurs can tell who's coming over just by opening the window and smelling the aromas, and which chef is coming to exchange ideas and showcase their skills.

If you see it, grab it immediately!

Therefore, those who come to buy Yao Junbo's house are all experts and have plenty of money.

They even proactively raised prices.

Ultimately, it was listed and sold on the same day.

Other apartments in the complex are selling for 12,000 yuan per square meter, but his is 14,000 yuan.

It sold for a total of 115 million.

It was sold to an old man surnamed Sun.

They paid very readily. The family of three went to the newly opened Shanshui Mingyuan residential complex.

The newly built residential area is really nice; there's property management there.

The building also has elevators and underground parking.

The neighborhood is also very beautiful, with a huge green area, just like a park.

Yao Junbo and his wife and children fell in love with it the moment they entered.

It's a nice neighborhood, and the price is good too, 6,800 yuan per square meter.

Tianhan is a small city after all. 6,800 yuan per square meter is already the price for a top-tier residential area. There are still apartments in the city that cost more than 3,000 yuan per square meter.

Yao Junbo had money and didn't care. He made a decision on the spot and bought a large three-bedroom apartment of 120 square meters.

It cost 800,000 yuan, and they even gave me a parking space as a bonus.

After saving enough money for renovations, we used the remaining money from selling our old house, took out a loan, and bought a shop in the commercial space at the bottom of the building.

Yao Junbo had thought that there were quite a few houses and residents in this community.

I'm planning to open a small supermarket or tobacco shop.

Anyway, the shop is my own, so I can't possibly lose money.

It's still better than going to work.

They were still leisurely doing whatever they wanted.

However, Yao Junbo's wife disagreed, not with buying the shop, but with Yao Junbo running the business himself.

The reasons are very valid.

Given Yao Junbo's bad habits, he's bound to attract a bunch of cronies. He's also very concerned about his image, and once someone flatters him, he forgets who he is. They'll offer him cigarettes one day and a bottle of wine the next, but Yao Junbo definitely won't accept the money. Giving him money would be disrespecting him.

In less than six months, my own shop will go bankrupt.

In response, Yao Junbo could only say that his wife was absolutely right.

He was self-aware, but he was boastful, concerned about his image, pretentious, pleasure-seeking, and lazy—he had a whole host of flaws.

It just can't be changed.

So, what should we do with the shop we bought?

Rent it out?
Who would you rent it to?

I don't trust renting it to someone whose background I don't know.

Even those who know the ins and outs of the business don't know anyone who runs it.

...No, I know him, and he's in big business.

Yao Junbo nervously dialed the number of General Manager Liu's assistant.

They were very polite, but after hearing what had happened, they only told him to wait for news.

Yao Junbo thought that people didn't care about him, a nobody.

The very next day, a young man named Gao Kai called.

He claimed to be the Tianhan area development manager of the expansion department of Qiaoxiaomao Group and wanted to see the storefront.

Upon hearing this, Yao Junbo exclaimed, "Good heavens, they're from the Pretty Cat Group!"

I took a day off specifically to go to the new house to receive them.

Upon meeting him, Yao Junbo was immediately taken aback. He sounded young on the phone, and he really was young in person, like a recent college graduate.

Despite his young age, he's incredibly efficient.

After arriving at the shop, we measured the dimensions, marked the location, and installed the water supply, drainage, and gas pipes.

I went into the community to check the foot traffic and estimate spending power, chatted with the property management staff, and also talked to the cleaning staff.

I walked around the neighborhood several times and looked around the surrounding area.

Yao Junbo didn't know what he was doing, but he was deeply shocked.

After reading it, Gao Kaiquan gave Yao Junbo a contract directly.

The contract has been drafted, and the rent has been filled in.

Yao Junbo felt a sudden unease.

My hands were shaking when I signed my name.

Renting a shop is much better than working a regular job.

After finishing the business, Yao Junbo chatted with Gao Kai and was surprised to find that he really was a recent graduate, and even went to the same school as his daughter.

So... he's a manager already?
Or is he the manager of Pretty Kitten?
