Chapter 359: Chapter 359 took quite a bit of effort

"Brother He."

Seeing him, Shen Mianmian and Lu Siyuan were very happy. They both knew that Brother He’s sudden visit must be concerning the shop space, and that there must be some developments.

Thinking back to the previous incident, Shen Mianmian felt a bit embarrassed, but seeing that He Nan seemed to have forgotten it, she gradually relaxed.

Just as they had thought, He Nan didn’t bother with pleasantries and asked if they had finished selling their goods; if so, they should accompany him to check out the shop space.

Shen Mianmian and Lu Siyuan immediately drove their ox cart and followed him, the shop space was not far from their current location, about thirty meters away from the vegetable market, on the roadside—an exceptional spot.

It was about fifty-odd square meters, very suitable for a small supermarket. Shen Mianmian liked it very much.

Shen Mianmian had noticed this location before, but as far as she knew, the owner was abroad and had no plans to rent it out. She hadn’t expected He Nan to secure it.

Moreover, he had already obtained the keys—the efficiency was such that she didn’t know what to say.

Seeing the sparkle in her eyes, a hint of amusement flashed through He Nan’s eyes. "The rent is three hundred for a year. I’ve signed a three-year contract for you, and the rent is paid in full. I’ve already fronted the money for you."

For such a good spot, Shen Mianmian had thought the rent would be at least fifty yuan a month, but it averaged out to only a little over twenty yuan a month.

What was most important was that Brother He had helped them sign a three-year lease, which would last until she finished high school.

Her eyes curved into crescent moons, sparkling. Lu Siyuan was also very excited. He said, "Brother He, thank you so much. I will pay you back the money tomorrow."

"Mhm."

Knowing that the two had saved some money and could afford the rent, He Nan had rented the place for them. So when he heard they would pay back the money tomorrow, he didn’t object.

"Brother He, you must have put a lot of effort into securing this shop space, right?" No wonder there was no news from Brother He for half a month. He must have been busy with this store!

Initially, He Nan wanted to say that it was fine, but the words that reached his lips changed to, "Yes, it took quite a lot of effort."

Upon hearing this, Lu Siyuan felt a bit guilty. Brother He had been busy with their affairs, and yet he had doubted that Brother He had forgotten about it.

To express their gratitude and apologies, he invited He Nan to join them for lunch, and He Nan didn’t refuse. The three of them went directly to a small restaurant nearby.

As the host, Lu Siyuan generously ordered four dishes and one soup.

He Nan was not picky about his food, and the dishes were chosen after discussions between Lu Siyuan and Shen Mianmian. While waiting for the food to be served, He Nan asked about their plans. After all, Lu Siyuan was just a sixteen-year-old kid without the advantage of being reborn, so he didn’t quite know where to start.

Compared to him, Shen Mianmian had a lot of ideas.

She didn’t hold back, and shared her thoughts openly, "We plan to hire a delivery person and two to manage the store, to sell vegetables at fixed prices..."

To put it simply, it was a small-scale vegetable supermarket.

Initially, she only wanted to hire one person to manage the store, but then she thought that one person might not be able to handle everything, so she decided to hire one more person to help with the arrangement of the vegetables.

On Saturdays and Sundays, she could help out, allowing the employees to have the weekends off.

After listening to Shen Mianmian’s words, He Nan’s eyes showed a trace of surprise. He was silent for about five seconds before he looked at her and asked lightly, "Did you come up with all this yourself?"

Shen Mianmian’s heart skipped a beat. She had forgotten that, given her age, she wasn’t supposed to have such knowledge.
