Rebirth 07: Starting with Saving a Bankrupt Restaurant

After Zhou Wen said that, Shi Ying felt a little dazed and wistful for a moment.

In an instant, I felt a stinging sensation in my nose, and I also felt something about to burst from my eyes, so I quickly wiped the corners of my eyes.

It's really quite sad to think about.

As one of the earliest employees, Shi Ying naturally knew what the restaurant looked like at the beginning.

The menu at that time had very few dishes, and the restaurant was clean and tidy.

There has never been anything like this before.

The number of customers is increasing day by day, and the restaurant is becoming more and more lively.

Shi Ling then asked, "Boss, are you living nearby?"

Zhou Wen nodded and said, "Nearby. Otherwise, living too far away would be inconvenient, so living closer would be the best."

Shi Ling now lives with Shi Ying, and it takes them about twenty minutes to walk to the restaurant each day.

Actually, the journey isn't far at all, but you have to make two round trips a day, so it takes quite a bit of time.

Furthermore, since Shi Ying originally lived alone in this house, the space was somewhat insufficient.

Shi Ling was also thinking of moving to a place closer to the restaurant, which would be more convenient.

"Are you going to find another place too?"

Shi Ling nodded slightly and said, "Yes, I'm thinking of finding a place closer to the restaurant."

"Let's go take a look together this afternoon."

"it is good."

The restaurant closed in the afternoon.

Shi Ying and Shi Ling also stayed behind, preparing to go with Zhou Wen to look at houses nearby.

Because the sun is quite strong, Shi Ling and her companion each bring an umbrella when they come.

Shi Ling walked beside Zhou Wen alone, holding an umbrella, while Shi Ying shared an umbrella with Zhou Wen, which was held by Shi Ying.

Their destination was just two streets away, and the group walked slowly, arriving at Xinhua Road in less than ten minutes.

After making a phone call, a figure quickly appeared.

The woman who came was a woman around fifty years old, and she greeted me as soon as we met.

Zhou Wen smiled and nodded in greeting.

"Sister Xu."

"You must be Xiao Zhou? And these two are...?"

"Friend, you'd also like to take a look at the house," Zhou Wen replied with a smile.

"Okay, then I'll show you around the house." Sister Xu was naturally happy to have more tenants.

After Sister Xu finished speaking, she led the two of them to their lodgings.

"This is it."

The entire building is only seven stories high, so it can be considered a small apartment.

At this point, 95% of the buildings are walk-up apartments; you can hardly even think about buildings with elevators.

Midway through the conversation, Sister Xu asked, "What are your requirements for the house?"

"Let's take a look first."

Zhou Wen didn't have any special requirements for the house; as long as it was livable and the environment was slightly better, that would be enough.

I won't insist on anything else.

"Well..." the man said, turning his gaze to Shi Ling and the other person beside him.

As the older sister, Shi Ying also spoke up, saying, "A simple two-bedroom apartment is enough."

Sister Xu nodded and led the group up the stairs.

Then we went up to the fourth floor.

"This floor is now just simple single rooms. Only the two innermost rooms and the outermost one are unoccupied. The layouts inside are all the same."

As she spoke, Sister Xu took out the key and opened the first room. There was no strange smell when the door was opened.

Zhou Wen also stood outside and looked around. After looking at it for a while, he went inside to examine the details.

The room is about 18 square meters, which is a decent size and has good natural light.

A bed and a small cabinet are all within the space.

"How do you feel?" Sister Xu asked Zhou Wen.

Zhou Wen walked to the innermost window and looked out.

Then he turned around and said, "Not bad."

However, Zhou Wen planned to take a look at the next two rooms and compare them more carefully.

Since the prices are the same, it's natural to choose a better room.

"Let's take a look at the next two rooms."

Sister Xu nodded and said, "Okay."

Although they are said to be the last two rooms, there is actually a room between them.

They also opened both rooms for Zhou Wen to see.

Each of the three empty rooms was actually quite clean.

There were no areas where the paint had peeled off, and the layout was largely the same.

However, the last two rooms have better natural light. Although they are close to the corridor, I might get disturbed at night even though I get up early every morning.

The innermost part is rather eerie.

"Then let's take this one next door," Zhou Wen said.

Sister Xu nodded, and then continued to lead everyone upstairs to see the rooms that the Shi sisters needed.

The two places are not in the same building, but there is a passageway connecting the two buildings.

"What do you think of this room?"

It has two bedrooms and a living room, as well as a separate bathroom, balcony, and even a cooking area.

The overall environment is quite nice.

It's about 60 square meters.

Zhou Wen was actually quite satisfied with the room, but he wasn't the one living there.

"Auntie, do you have any smaller spaces?"

Shi Ling felt that the place was too big; in fact, just two simple outdoor rooms plus a separate bathroom would be enough.

The front hall is not necessary.

Sister Xu frowned slightly, but quickly relaxed.

"This room is considered one of the better ones. Other rooms may have similar rooms, but they are far inferior."

As she spoke, Sister Xu walked out of the room and led the group through several corridors.

As you walk further in, you can smell a odor, which gets stronger the further you go.

Finally, we stopped outside a door. The paint on the wall outside was peeling off, and the light from outside was not very good.

Sister Xu opened the door to the room.

"These rooms belong to other people and are being rented out."

This room was different from the previous ones as soon as you opened the door.

There was a smell, and because of the poor lighting, you could see dust everywhere in the air when you opened the door.

"If we were to stay there, it might be a bit uncomfortable."

It might be okay if it were just a quick clean, but Zhou Wen felt it was significantly worse than the first one.

"Sister Xu, what's the price of this room?" Zhou Wen asked.

"520 yuan a month, one month's deposit and three months' rent in advance."

"What about the one in front of you?"

"The one in front costs 650 a month."

The price of 650 a month is acceptable, and the place is quite close to the business district.

If this room costs 520 a month, then the previous room seems quite nice in comparison.

Zhou Wen also chimed in, "Shi Ling, the rooms up front are pretty good. Restaurants sometimes close for holidays, so you can cook at home and that's fine too."

Shi Ling was in a bit of a dilemma, and Shi Ying completely listened to Shi Ling.
