Chapter 175: Chapter 175 Sincere Treatment

"How do you know they won’t?!" Mrs. Zhen said uneasily, "Don’t forget they are the ones who snatched our bag! Can you trust such character?!"

"Mom!" Zhen Yu stared into her mother’s eyes, "No one is perfect. Who hasn’t made mistakes? Although they’ve made some poor choices, they are still quite loyal!"

"What do you mean by loyal?" Mrs. Zhen was puzzled.

"As soon as we mentioned looking for a Martial Arts Hall, Zhang San and his pals recommended the Xu Family to us," Zhen Yu sighed. "You should know that Master Xu has been training in the mountains for ten years without coming down."

Mrs. Zhen fell silent for a while, "They are indeed devoted. So, you think they can be sincere with us?"

Zhen Yu lowered her gaze, "Sincerity is earned! Whether or not it’s possible, let’s give it a try!"

Mrs. Zhen quickly changed the subject, her voice filled with worry, "Are we really going to buy that restaurant? And what about the computers?"

"Let’s check out the Taekwondo Hall tomorrow first!" Zhen Yu hesitated as well. She really wanted to just buy the restaurant outright. But if the price per square meter for the Taekwondo Hall was comparatively cheaper, buying the second floor first was also an option.

To put it bluntly, it’s all about which is more cost-effective!

"Right! Mom, how did it go with the government today regarding the arcade?"

"No problem at all! Once we’ve bought the place, I can go and handle it anytime. What about you? How much is a computer?"

Zhen Yu gave a conservative estimate, "Five thousand each!"

"What?" Mrs. Zhen exclaimed!

In a second, she went from lying down to sitting up, "Two of those could buy our house! Can’t have them sitting unsold, can we?!"

They can! Zhen Yu quietly answered her in her heart.

But what Mrs. Zhen saw was this—her daughter spoke earnestly: "These things last a long time! As long as you know how to fix them, they can be used indefinitely."

This explanation from Zhen Yu instantly made Mrs. Zhen feel that it was worth the ticket price!

She silently equated computers with televisions and washing machines in her mind, considering it a long-term investment. After all, once purchased, it could be used for half a lifetime! Just slowly recoup the investment.

Neither of them slept well that night, after all, a hostel is nowhere near as comfortable as home.

Zhen Yan came to find them early, and as soon as he entered, he started to complain.

"Mom! I was the only one in the dorm last night!" Zhen Yan yelled with an exaggerated shock, "I was scared to death!"

"People will probably come today! You’re a big boy already, afraid to sleep in a room by yourself!" Mrs. Zhen replied indifferently.

"Is that called sleeping in a room by myself? It’s like sleeping in an entire building, okay!?" Zhen Yan’s expression was exaggerated, "If it weren’t for knowing that the dorm manager was sleeping downstairs, I might have been scared out of my wits!"

Mrs. Zhen responded perfunctorily, "Alright, alright! If nobody else shows up today, come sleep with us! Anyway, there are two beds here!"

"People will definitely come today!" Zhen Yu said after brushing her teeth, signaling her mother and brother to go downstairs for breakfast.

When the three of them arrived at the Taekwondo Hall, Zhang San and Li Si’er were already there. In addition to the two, there was another man in the room.

No need to ask, he must be the boss.

It seems like Xiao Cao is quite reliable.

"Hello, I’m the owner here. My surname is Cao. May I know your esteemed surname?" The man stepped forward to greet Mrs. Zhen as soon as he saw her.

"You may drop the formalities. My surname is Zhen. Boss Cao, you’re quite punctual!"

"Please come in and have a seat for a chat."

"Sure."

Boss Cao is just over thirty, possibly because he’s not that old he’s not very worldly-wise. Right off the bat he said, "I heard from my grand-nephew that you want to buy a shop, right?"

"Yes," Mrs. Zhen nodded.

"My shop is 98 square meters with some extra, and my final offer is 420,000! That doesn’t include Martial Arts equipment!"

"That’s too expensive." Mrs. Zhen hadn’t done the math yet, but Zhen Yu spoke up.

"I just renovated last year, all with high-quality materials! Look at this! Pure solid wood flooring! And the location is great too! It’s just steps from First High School!"

Zhen Yu shook her head, "Can you lower the price a bit? This price is really a bit too much."

The man was quite straightforward, "The lowest I can go is 410,000, not a penny less!"

Mrs. Zhen looked at her daughter, and Zhen Yu shook her head.

"Let’s think it over!" Mrs. Zhen sighed and stood up; she really didn’t understand what her daughter was thinking.

Boss Cao didn’t try to keep them, just said, "Then you guys go and look around more! Honestly, my price really is quite fair!"

"Alright," Mrs. Zhen responded perfunctorily.

The group left the Taekwondo Hall and started discussing downstairs.

Zhen Yan was anxious and blurted out, "What are we going to do next?"

Mrs. Zhen just looked at her daughter without saying a word.

"Let’s go! First, we’ll get everything you need!" Zhen Yu declared with a wave of her hand.

"Can the three of us bring all that back? Your brother didn’t even bring his toiletries; he washed his face at the hostel this morning!" Mrs. Zhen got excited when she heard about shopping.

As soon as Zhang San heard this, he immediately said, "Isn’t that what we’re here for? What do you need to buy? We’ll go with you!"

Mrs. Zhen, feeling somewhat embarrassed, waved them off, "Oh no, that won’t do! That would delay you guys! Don’t you still have to go do that ’sparring’ thing?"

"Hey! I quit that a few days ago! His training class fell through, so we both stopped too," Li Si’er said with a hint of helplessness.

"Let’s go together," Zhen Yu called out to them, "No need to go far, we can find a nearby place and get everything."

"Then I’ll lead the way!" Zhang San said, "I know where around here you can buy daily necessities for cheap."

The word ’cheap’ was like a spell, instantly breaking through Mrs. Zhen’s defenses.

She finally thanked Zhang San and Li Si’er, sincerely from the heart!

"Thank you guys!"

"There’s no need to be so polite," Zhang San said as he brought up the past incident, "We got to know each other through a fight, right! And there’s also the connection with Old Xu, so we are friends now, aren’t we?"

His tone had a hint of questioning, worried that they might still be angry with him.

Mrs. Zhen may not be good at other things, but her ability to read people’s expressions, honed over years of doing business, was top-notch. She immediately nodded, "Of course, we are!"

"Then just give us a shout if you need anything!" Li Si’er said, thumping his chest, "We may not have much, but we’ve got time! And strength!"

Mrs. Zhen, who loves to chatter, immediately felt it would be a relief to speak her mind, "Since we’re friends now! You two really shouldn’t get upset if I speak my mind! Find yourselves a proper job, work hard to convert that strength and time into money! You’re not young anymore, both without wives yet, right?"

"Hehe... You got us there, big sister! It’s true we haven’t found wives! Who’d want to be with us without money or status?"

"That’s because of what you two did to yourselves, right?" Mrs. Zhen said, giving them a sideways glance, "As long as you’re willing to earn money honestly from now on, I guarantee you’ll get married within a few years!"

"Alright! We’ll listen to big sister!" The two men said one after the other.

They felt somewhat touched; it had been so long since they’d heard such earnest and well-intentioned advice from someone on the outside.
