Madam, you don't want your sister to be unable to pay the rent, do you?

Lin Yi closed the door, made two cups of tea and placed them on the coffee table.

"Of course I can. For me, having a side job can also bring me a little more income. But since there is a requirement that I live here, the rent can't be too expensive, right?"

Chu Yu seemed to agree, crossing her long beautiful legs and speaking with a smile.

"Of course. If I open a shop with Yayun and the others, I will definitely be one of the original shareholders. How about two thousand yuan a month for rent?"

"Two thousand yuan a month? Lin Yi, you really don't want to sneak into my room in the middle of the night and stab me in the ass? You're going to pay the rest of the house price with your body?"

Chu Yu burst out laughing.

Lin Yi was a little speechless.

"Look at my disabled legs. How could I sneak into your room..."

"I'm just kidding. The price is too cheap. Two thousand yuan a month. This is in this place. The busiest streets in the city are here. Do you know how much the office buildings here cost per square meter? Do you know how much the housing prices here cost per square meter? The average price is 250,000 yuan per square meter! This includes the cheaper places around here, not the high-end villas. If you count them, the price will be even higher."

Chu Yu felt like laughing as she spoke.

When she lived here two days ago, she had already observed the room here. It was about 120 square meters, with absolutely exquisite decoration. The home appliances and furniture used were all expensive branded goods. There was fresh air, floor heating, and whole-house intelligence. It had everything it needed. Even the most trivial needs, even the heater next to the sink, which was only needed in public places, was designed into the decoration.

The decoration of just one room may cost more than 200,000 yuan, and the decoration of an entire 120-square-meter house may cost more than one million yuan.

The value attached to the location is comparable to the highest-standard suites in a five-star hotel. The only thing missing may be the value of the landscape and services that are essential to a five-star hotel.

Of course, it doesn’t look as luxurious as a five-star hotel. The overall decoration style is more homely and quite warm.

Even if there are people vying to sell their butts, they are all good-looking. Two thousand yuan a night is not enough to cover the monthly rent here in ten days.

However, if I tell others that this house is only 120 square meters and costs 2,000 yuan a month, who would believe it?

"They use it for commercial purposes. To be frank, I am just a landlord. Two thousand yuan is just to earn a month's food expenses. Otherwise, I will go hungry next month."

Lin Yi took a sip of tea and said with a smile.

He was quite clear about the real value of this house. If he sold it and turned it into a hotel, it would be easy to make tens of millions in profit a year.

But that is not his purpose. The more money one has, the greedier most people will become.

Just like power, once you have enjoyed the pleasure of dominating others, it is difficult to pull yourself away from it.

This was when he was a child and had both parents. He became an orphan in the middle of his life and barely lived until he was twenty. He was in a car accident and escaped death. His legs were broken and he barely survived. He thought his life would end there and he would have to make a living by picking up garbage, but he was reborn and obtained the system. After so many ups and downs, his mind gradually became firm in his thoughts.

His system capabilities are certainly powerful. If used properly, the sanction mode, character cards, Lao Wang’s phone number, these elves can not only allow him to reach the pinnacle of his life, but even the top of the world.

To put it simply, with the help of the system panel, he can obtain information about the president of the country and many people hiding underground. Lao Wang calls them and uses the sanctions mode, and directly becomes the king of the underground world.

But he doesn't need it. There are many tones in life. Relaxed, happy and simple is the tone here.

Occasionally, you may encounter some small thorns in the corners, but they are just a little spice.

"You do have a clear idea, but never mind. The women around you have proven that you are not a bad person. It is better to say that you are just a bit lustful. It is easier to get along with a man like you."

Chu Yu took a sip of tea and lay down on the sofa, relaxing.

As a reporter, she has met too many people and experienced too many things. Some people appear to be kind on the surface, but are actually very vicious and even think they are doing you a good thing. Some people appear to be smiling on the surface, but the darkness in their hearts cannot be described in words.

People who are originally simple-minded and face life with a smile will only become the person they hate little by little under the beatings of society.

To put it bluntly, Lin Yi looks like a college student who has never been in society.

So five thousand or four thousand yuan a month is enough to live on, but one-third of it goes to rent, and another part goes to clothes, food and travel.

There is also socializing, what if you get sick or something happens at home.

There are some things that you will only know what they are like if you actually experience them.

However, Lin Yi himself owns this house. Even if he was really poor before, he is not poor now. He has the confidence to speak with confidence. Earning 2,000 yuan for food is just the confidence that he has money.

Chu Yu thought so in her heart. After all, if Lin Yi was so poor that he couldn't even afford to eat, how could he possibly make 2,000 yuan a month?

Lin Yi didn’t know what Chu Yu was thinking. He took a look at the Chinese medicine being boiled in the kitchen and estimated the time. It would take about ten minutes to boil.

"First rain..."

"Okay, I'll think about it again. I still need to think about the house, but I will definitely invest in opening a store."

Before Lin Yi could finish his words, he was interrupted by Chu Yu.

"OK then."

Lin Yi didn't expect Chu Yu to agree in one go. The fact that the other party was considering it meant there was still a chance.

And since they have already invested in and opened a store, the probability of Chu Yu moving in will be greater if Zhuang Yayun and the others persuade them a little.

There was the sound of a key turning in the door.

Then there was that familiar soft voice.

"Hey, Lin Yi, you're awake. Did you eat the breakfast I put in the steamer? I was planning to put a sandwich in it, but the bread would easily become soggy, so I didn't put it in... Hey, Miss Chu Yu is here too, good morning!"

Zhuang Yayun was carrying her handbag and changing her high heels at the door while looking towards the living room with a smile. When she found Chu Yu was there too, she covered her mouth in surprise.

"Hello, Miss Zhuang Yayun, Miss Zhuang Youlin, and Miss Yin Lili."

Chu Yu replied politely.

Zhuang Youlin popped his little head out from behind, and was quite happy to see Chu Yu was really there.

Although she was a little jealous because Chu Yu and Lin Yi were alone in the bedroom yesterday, she had already eaten her fill last night so she didn't pursue the matter.

Moreover, Chu Yu's personality was quite compatible with hers, and they had plenty of topics to talk about.

Yin Lili smiled and waved at the door, took off her flat shoes first, put on slippers, and trotted to Lin Yi.

"Brother~~"

The girl leaned softly against Lin Yi's thigh.

"You're back just in time, Yayun, Youlin, do you remember what I told you about opening a shop?"

Lin Yi said with a smile.

"Hey...I remember, what's wrong?" Zhuang Yayun blinked.

"Yin Lili just finished her college entrance exams, and there's nothing to do at home. Why don't we try to open a small shop of our own? Whether it's a milk tea shop or a coffee shop, as long as Yayun and Youlin like it, you can give it a try."

"Ah, but isn't this a bit too sudden? My sister and I have no experience in opening a store, and the initial expenses of opening a store are too high... I don't have any money at all, so I can only rely on my sister..."

"Who said that? Don't I still have you?"

"But Lin Yi's money is Lin Yi's money. It costs hundreds of thousands to open a store. If I lose money... I don't know what to do to compensate you."

Zhuang Yayun felt soft and tender in an instant, her little hands tangled with her skirt. She lowered her head, looking so pitiful.

"Okay, sister, what are you thinking about? We are all family now, and spending his money is spending our money."

Zhuang Youlin snorted and slapped Zhuang Yayun on the waist, scaring her and making her tremble. "And sister, do you remember that we had already thought about it when we were in college. We must open a small shop in the future. It's just your business...Okay, okay, let's not talk about the past. Anyway, we don't have any burdens now, so there's nothing wrong with pursuing our dreams."

"..."

Zhuang Yayun seemed to want to agree, but her inner reserve prevented her from nodding directly.

"Yayun, come on. We can talk about Chuyu joining us. She's a reporter, so we can definitely get first-hand information about the market. Then we'll have more confidence in opening a store. As long as we can choose a good address and find a good direction, it won't be a problem to open the store."

Lin Yi stroked Yin Lili's delicate head and spoke gently to Zhuang Yayun.

"Hey, Miss Hatsuyu, are you going to join us? If so, maybe it will be possible."

Perhaps it was because of Chu Yu’s identity as a reporter, Zhuang Yayun’s eyes lit up, and her hesitant belief suddenly gained a little confidence.

The two sisters sat on the sofa, and the wife was a little excited and expectant.

Zhuang Youlin immediately looked at Lin Yi and said jokingly, "Master Lin Yi, why did you want to help us realize our dream? I thought you were just asking casually about opening a store. You were quite excited at the time."

189 Let's party at the beach together

"Sister Youlin, please stop teasing me. Lili took the college entrance examination some time ago, and went traveling after the exam, so I didn't continue to discuss opening a store with you."

Lin Yi looked at Chu Yu with some amusement.

This jealous little guy sometimes likes to be sarcastic.

But this is also quite cute.

"Hehe, really? We must believe what you say, young master. But have you decided what kind of store to open? If you really want to open a store, things like location selection, franchising or self-operation will be taken care of. Then we have to go to work again. Who will take care of you at home? Are we just going to be store managers and hire a few employees to work there? That would be so boring. You might as well continue to work. You need to consider all these items."

Zhuang Youlin groaned a few times, "The most important thing is you. You usually have things to do. When we open the store, you are busy in the store and can't take care of you. We can't just put you at the door as a mascot. If someone bumps into you, I will definitely cry."

Lin Yi kept nodding in agreement, "That's right, that's right."

Zhuang Yayun's cheeks were slightly red. "I won't cry. You made me sound like a child. But Youlin is right. Lin Yi, Youlin and I want to open a store that sells handmade chocolates and coffee. We don't want to be store managers. We really want to run our own business. I will definitely be busy in the store for some time during the day, so I won't be able to take care of you."

"I am here!"

Yin Lili's tender voice suddenly became clear and crisp, and her little hands were raised high.

"Sister Yayun, Sister Youlin, don't worry, I'm here to take good care of my brother. I was the only one who took care of my mother until she passed away."

Zhuang Yayun clapped her hands in relief and distress, "Lili is really amazing, but you still have to go to college, so I can't leave this matter to you forever. Oh, it would be great if there was one more person at home. I can take turns with her, taking care of Lin Yi one day at the store and the other day. This kind of atmosphere would be great."

"What my sister said does make sense, but we are already a family of four. With one more person, we will be a family of five. Who would be willing to come?" Zhuang Youlin supported her little face.

"The more people there are, the more lively the house will be." Yin Lili said briefly.

Chu Yu wanted to laugh, but didn't know whether she should laugh or not.

I have the illusion that I am a wolf walking into a tiger's mouth.

Is it right to invest in and open a store? Wouldn't you end up selling yourself out while investing?

Thinking this in his mind, Chu Yu looked at Lin Yi seriously again.

He is really handsome, and if she is a normal girl, there is nothing wrong with him.

Lin Yi sat in a wheelchair, looking like a frail young man. It was unknown how many girls would like him, let alone those who were mothers.

And even though he was sitting in a wheelchair, Lin Yi's body was the type that looked thin when dressed, but had muscles when undressed. It was totally illogical that such a body shape could appear on a patient with paralyzed legs. It was really confusing.

Not to mention, Lin Yi is shrouded in layers of mystery. He can easily deal with underworld gangs and has the medical skills to quickly heal facial wounds. His mysterious background is completely unfathomable.

It's hard for me not to have a good impression of such a man.

"Ms. Zhuang Yayun, Ms. Zhuang Youlin, although your concerns are reasonable, since you have already made the decision, why not give it a try? Opening a store does not require you two to work full-time. If the store is really successful, you can open in the afternoon every day, and you can also do hunger marketing. And Lin Yi is not a bad choice. He can be the mascot at the door. The name of the store is Xiao Lin, who walks very fast. Then Lin Yi can sit in a wheelchair at the door and drink tea. This will make it more of a topic. With a little marketing and you two dressing up, with your looks, it will definitely become an Internet celebrity store."

Chu Yu spoke up, interrupting the worried conversation between the three girls.

"Ah, is that so?"

Zhuang Yayun looked at Chu Yu a little blankly. She had never thought about such a thing.

Zhuang Youlin was also a little surprised. She was indeed a reporter with a unique vision. She found the secret to keeping the store alive in one go.

"Then what kind of store should we open?" Zhuang Yayun asked Chu Yu blankly.

Chu Yu even laughed a little, "Ms. Zhuang Yayun, although I want to invest, I should be responsible for the marketing. The two ladies are the ones who really want to run the store. You two ladies have to decide what kind of store you want to open, and then I can really help you with the marketing."

"I...I, let me think about it."

When Zhuang Yayun was reminded by Chu Yu, she shyly picked up Lin Yi's tea and took a sip.

Zhuang Youlin burst out laughing.

Yin Lili also smiled quietly.

Lin Yi also smiled.

The room was immediately filled with a joyful atmosphere.

Time passed happily like this.

It's twelve o'clock noon.

During this period, Chu Yu's injured face was re-applied with medicine. Lin Yi used the power of the Return Me Pretty Fist to recover 25% of his injuries. Now Chu Yu's face has recovered half of its size compared to the first day they met, and he no longer looks so pitiful.

The discussions in the store gradually focused on three directions.

Handmade cakes, handmade chocolates, handmade coffee.

Compared to those milk tea shops that need to handle a large number of orders to survive and are busy from morning to night, Zhuang Yayun and Zhuang Youlin are obviously more suitable for running this kind of small shop themselves.

Especially Zhuang Yayun, besides watching TV and embroidering, her favorite thing to do is to stay in the kitchen and prepare dishes and desserts.

But I can't open a restaurant, so I might as well open a milk tea shop.

After temporarily deciding on the direction, Chu Yu set out to investigate the nearby market. After simply asking friends, he learned the recent unit price of handmade chocolates and cakes. On average, the unit price is about two hundred yuan. As for the unit price of coffee, it is relatively low, and it also requires a large store and an elegant environment. The simple names of "handmade" cannot support the survival of a coffee shop.
