Chapter 347
"The location is good, sure, but what’s that got to do with me? I don’t have the money, can’t afford the rent, and in the end, people might just go back on their word. Even if I’m not vying for this storefront, I have to fight for my dignity, right, Boss Zhao?"
Calling him ’Boss Zhao’ instead of ’Third Brother Zhao’ had already created a sense of distance.
Zhao Sanque smiled unawkwardly, "Brother, last time it was my fault as the elder brother, but I had no choice, you know. I’m just out here trying to make some money to bring home some treats for the kids. Think about it, if you were in my shoes and someone offered more rent than you, who would you rent to?"
"I paid a deposit," Ye Tian spoke coldly.
"What’s the use of a 300 yuan deposit?"
"Well, Boss Zhao, it seems my 300 yuan is only worth that one sentence from you, right? Fine then, I won’t rent this place. He Ku, let’s go..."
"Hold on, hold on, brother!" Zhao Sanque seemed panicky, "10,000! Just 10,000! The shop is yours for a year!"
"8,000! Not a penny more!"
Ye Tian didn’t even blink an eye; he hadn’t intended to push this hard, but it wasn’t about how people from Henan were; it was Zhao Sanque’s reneging that infuriated him.
Zhao Sanque was really anxious now and slapped the table hard, spilling the tea, "9,000! Are you renting or not? If not, I’ll just leave the store vacant, it looks better to me that way!"
