Reborn in 2000: Reuniting with the School Belle

Chapter 27.2

Wang Tie, on the other hand, wore an excited expression, seeming very satisfied with the shop.

Yi Feng tugged at his sleeve, signaling him to tone down his enthusiasm.

Wang Tie quickly adopted a more serious demeanor, mimicking Yi Feng’s expression.

“How about it, young man, my shop is good, isn’t it? I’m telling you, renting a shop like this for 230 yuan a month is a good deal!”

“If you miss, there won’t be another of such a shop!” The middle-aged aunt emphasized the scarcity of the shop, hoping to make Yi Feng quickly decide.

Yi Feng shook his head, pretending to be somewhat dissatisfied, “It looks okay, but there’s no furniture inside, not even tables and chairs, and the decoration is a bit rough.”

“The most important thing is, this alley is too remote, too quiet. Now, on the weekend, there’s not even a shadow of a person. This location really isn’t very good.”

“Big sister, I think 230 yuan is indeed a bit expensive for this shop.”

“We’ll think about it some more, thank you for your trouble.”

Saying this, Yi Feng turned to leave.

The middle-aged aunt became anxious. The shop had been on the market for over three months without being rented out, mainly because the alley was too quiet and lacked foot traffic. How could she let this opportunity slip away now that someone was interested?

“Hey, hey, young man, this price is really quite low. Are you sure you don’t want to rent it?”

Yi Feng turned back, pondered for a moment, and said, “It’s too off the beaten path here, and still renting for 230 yuan a month, doesn’t seem worth the price.”

“We’ll look around some more.”

“Wang Tie, let’s go.”

“Okay, brother Feng!” Wang Tie responded, ready to leave with him.

The middle-aged aunt became even more anxious and hurried after them, calling out, “Young man, don’t be in such a rush to leave. What do you think would be a fair price? We can talk about it!”

Just as Yi Feng stepped out of the door, the corner of his mouth curved up in a smile, then he turned back, “I think about 150 yuan a month would be more appropriate for this shop.”

The middle-aged aunt was taken aback, exclaiming, “150 yuan? This is a 50-square-meter shop, that’s too low! No, no!”

“How can you bargain like this?”

“That’s too harsh!”

Yi Feng shook his head, “I saw shops in Alley 9 and Alley 12, 60 square meters, also only charging 200 yuan a month, and they even provide tables, chairs, and a fan.”

“150 a month is not low.”

“Ah? They lowered their rent?” The middle-aged aunt was startled.

She had set her rent based on the nearby shop prices, but hearing Yi Feng say those shops were only 200 yuan now, she was quite surprised.

Yi Feng’s mouth twitched with an imperceptible smile.

His previous words were half true, half bluff.

“Yeah, big sister, if you’re not willing, we’ll just look at other shops.” Yi Feng turned to leave again.

The middle-aged aunt quickly grabbed him, “Hey, hey, young man, don’t be hasty. What about 170 yuan a month? Let’s just settle on 170 yuan, okay?”

Yi Feng pondered for a moment, “Hmm, no… 160 yuan, anything more feels like it wouldn’t be worth it.”

The middle-aged aunt bit her lip, “Alright, 160 yuan it is then! Let’s settle on that!”

Wang Tie watched Yi Feng haggle, utterly amazed.

Brother Feng is awesome!

Such skill in bargaining!

Shop spaces in nearby alleys were mostly over 200 yuan.

Renting a 50-square-meter shop for 160 yuan, especially in the core shopping district, was an unbeatable deal!

Such a steal!

Only then did Yi Feng show a smile, “Alright, I’m too lazy to look further. Let’s rent it and see how it goes.”

“How long do you plan to rent?” the middle-aged aunt asked.

Yi Feng held up four fingers, “Four months!”
