Chapter 38 - 38 38 Nangang Branch

38: Chapter 38: Nangang Branch 38: Chapter 38: Nangang Branch It had been a while since he voluntarily contacted Han Xue.

He hesitated to turn to her immediately when he ran into trouble.

Was that unkind?

But after a moment’s hesitation, Li Zhongnan plucked up his courage and called her anyway.

The fact that he hadn’t reached out in so long didn’t bother her as much as he’d expected.

In fact, her only complaint was, “Mr.

Busy, what can I do for you?”

Li Zhongnan chuckled and said, “In fact, I do have a favor to ask.

Can you spare some time to have some breakfast with me?”

“Sure!

Just give me a moment!”

With that, Han Xue hung up the phone.

Li Zhongnan opened a food delivery app and ordered an $88 meal from the famous Ming Du Restaurant in County Town.

As soon as he had finished paying, Han Xue arrived on her electric bicycle.

He closed the door of his shop, went out to greet her and asked with a smile, “What have you been up to lately?”

“How could I possibly be busy?

I do nothing but watch TV at home all day.

I am so bored!” Han Xue moved ahead a bit, urging him, “What are you waiting for?

It’s almost ten o’clock, and I’m starving.”

“Sure thing kiddo!”

Li Zhongnan grinned and climbed onto the back of the electric bicycle, squeezing himself behind her in a tight spot.

They entered the restaurant, were led to their reserved table by a hostess.

His gaze swept over the room, seeing mostly couples enjoying their happy and sweet times together, it aroused a sense of yearning in him.

Wouldn’t it be wonderful to wake up every morning, sit in a serene place with Yao Danhong, share breakfast, gaze at each other?

Although it would also be nice to have the squad leader, Han Xue, by his side.

As soon as they sat down, Han Xue swept back her hair and stretched lazily, asking, “I heard from Xiao Ting that your shop is closed, Li Zhongnan.

Are you experiencing financial difficulties?”

“No way!”

Li Zhongnan casually responded, admiring her leisurely and relaxed demeanor.

He couldn’t help but feel pity, thinking what a waste it was for such a beautiful woman to be married so young.

When Han Xue glanced at him, she added, “That’s good.

If you ever need help, just let me know.

I may not be able to provide much, but I can lend around one to two hundred thousand yuan.”

“No problem!

Have I ever been polite with you?”

Li Zhongnan laughed.

He was thinking that she recently started working as a kindergarten teacher and couldn’t have possibly earned a significant amount of money in such a short time.

Even if she had some savings, it must have been from her parents.

But then he remembered that she was an only child; naturally, her parents’ money was hers as well.

After consuming a few bowls of tea and buns,

Li Zhongnan lit a cigarette, basking in the smoke, watching the way Han Xue ate with enjoyment.

She didn’t mind his attention and seemed to be enjoying her meal, occasionally giving him a small smile as she nibbled on her food.

When they finished eating, Li Zhongnan handed her a serviette.

Han Xue received it, wiped her lips, and smiled, “Okay, spill it.

Why did you ask me to meet?”

Clearing his throat, Li Zhongnan said, “I plan to register a company and shift the focus of my electronics business to Nangang City.

However, registration requires at least two executives.

So, I was wondering if you’d like to fill one of the slots?”

Han Xue congratulated him, saying, “Sure, just let me know what documents and information you need.

I’ll have them ready by this afternoon.”

After giving it some thought, Li Zhongnan added, “Han Xue, how about you come work with me?

You’ll only be in charge of managing the store and making sales, while I handle everything else.

I’ll give you a 30% commission.

How does that sound?

It’s certainly more than you’re currently earning!”

As a single person, he could not handle everything on his own.

Not pleased with the proposal, Han Xue retorted, “Not great.

I don’t have to worry about food and clothing.

Why would a woman need so much money!”

“Okay, forget I mentioned it.”

Li Zhongnan gave her an awkward smile.

She might not be the wealthiest heiress, but her parents were financially stable professionals who owned a car and a house and enjoyed a steady income.

Furthermore, she was already working as a teacher, living a carefree life.

So, pressing her into this deal seemed pointless as everyone has their own aspirations.

“Who said I was refusing?”

Han Xue glared at him, saying, “Anyway, I have nothing to do during the holidays, so consider it a hobby for now.

I’ll give it a try for a couple of months.

However, I don’t need any shares.

But when you get rich and I run out of money, I’ll ask you for help.”

“No problem!”

Li Zhongnan nodded in agreement with a smile on his face.

After leaving the restaurant, both of them took a bus to Nangang City.

Without a car, it was an inconvenient, time-consuming journey.

Upon reaching the city, they headed straight to the traffic police brigade to submit the prepared documents to Ge Qing.

He estimated that in no more than a week, he should have his driver’s license.

After lunch, they entered a real estate agency with Han Xue.

A young, beautiful, tall woman dressed in professional attire approached them with a smile, “Hello sir, ma’am, Are you here to buy a wedding house?”

Just as Li Zhongnan was about to explain, Han Xue giggled and said, “We’ve already purchased our wedding house.

Now we’re searching for a larger shop to open an electronics store, primarily to sell mobile phones.

Also, we need to rent an office, ideally in an e-commerce park.”

Li Zhongnan followed up by asking, “Do you have any good properties for us?

Ideally with not too high a price!”

Encouraged by their keen interest, the real estate agent curbed her excitement and handed over her business card, stating, “Hello, boss, my name is Guan Jing, the director of Lian Family Real Estate Northern Branch in the Development Zone.

We have plenty of outstanding properties in our company.

If you have the time, would you like to look at some?”

Upon receiving the business card, Li Zhongnan paused for a moment.

Lian Family was one of the top real estate intermediary companies in the country, headquarter in Jingcheng City.

He had even spent half a month working there before.

So, he knew about the company like the back of his hand.

They weren’t interested in employing ornamental staff; everything relied on performance.

This girl, Guan Jing, was only around 21 or 22 years old yet she was already a district director.

He had to admire her.

Han Xue nodded her agreement, requesting, “First, bring out all the appropriate property listings, floor plans, street maps, and price information you have in your store, we’ll pick a few to go look at!”

Han was clearly experienced in buying homes.

The pair examined several properties, eventually identifying three or four that met their needs.

Then, under the direction of the female agent, they visited each location in person.

After completing the tour, Li Zhongnan decided to opt for a shop located on the ground floor of a tall building in a bustling district of the Development Zone.

The shop, which was over 800 square meters, had its own restroom, conference room, lounge, and warehouse.

Everything was in great shape.

He left the negotiation of the price to Han Xue.

Consequently, the monthly rent was settled at 68,000 yuan, paid semi-annually.

Having secured the shop, Guan Jing was eager to show them the office.

After some contemplation, Li Zhongnan concluded that it was perhaps better to postpone the search for an office.

The company hadn’t been registered yet, and he was the sole employee.

In all smiles he informed, “Let’s spread it out for a while, I will contact you when I have some time!”

After signing the relevant documents and making the payment,

Li Zhongnan thought for a moment and then requested,” Manager Guan, could you also locate another shop for me?

I plan to open a car dealership, mainly selling motorcycles and electric bicycles.

It would be great if the location was prime and the area was large!”

Actually, in comparison to electronics, he saw a more promising future in the automobile industry!

After all, the price of a car typically ranged in the hundreds of thousands, equivalent to the price of hundreds of mobile phones.

He believed that as the future grew wealthier, more and more people would start buying cars.

At present, the traffic police brigade was capable of providing him with hundreds, if not thousands, of discarded motorcycles every month.

Opening a car dealership of his own seemed to be a more profitable alternative to selling directly to Zhuo Cheng.

Moreover, it would also help lay the groundwork for his future bid to break into the car industry.

So, why not do it?

“Mr.

Li, no problem!”

Guan Jing was exhilarated.

This client was a delight to work with.

A single afternoon had yielded an impressive business transaction.

The deal had been too easy to secure.

With this rental contract alone, she could earn over 20,000 yuan in commissions in the first year.

Moreover, he indicated he would be needing an office space and additional shops to rent.

Keeping him, the golden goose, close, was a priority.

She made a mental note to assist him earnestly, maintain steady contact, and strive to become friends.

She must secure him before any other real estate intermediaries tried to poach him.
