90,000 yuan was not a small amount. They had a lawyer drafted up an agreement and handed the money over to Shu Yan in front of the lawyer. They gave Shu Yan three-days’ time to vacate the location.

That was a nasty move on their part, giving her only three days to vacate the place. They didn’t even allow her time to take care of her inventory. Luckily, she was well-prepared.

“You don’t learn how to do business from watching others. I hope you won’t regret about this decision.” Shu Yan looked at them and snickered.

“You don’t need to worry about that. Aye!” It still pained the landlady when she looked at the money that Shu Yan had in her hand.

Shu Yan didn’t want to engage with them any longer than she needed to and she went over to the bank with her money and deposited them before returning to her shop.

The landlady’s daughter ran into a few more individuals on her way back. All of them opined on how cheap the clothes were during the promotional activities. One spent 200 yuan, another 300. Even the lowest one was over 100 yuan.

“For real. I heard it with my own ears and saw it with my own eyes. Their businesses are flourishing. Mom, think about it! At 4,000 to 5,000 yuan a day. Okay, let’s just say 4,000 yuan, 2,000 yuan profit. That’s still 60,000 yuan a month. We can make our money back in less than two months. How much do you think we will lose if we let her have the shop for 2 more years?” Yangyang, while holding onto her mother, tried to convince her.

“So we are going to hand over 90,000 yuan to her just like that?” The landlady’s heart ached when she thought of that.

Some things were best taken care of my Lao Hu, a well-connected local.

Shu Yan explained to him the reason that she was looking for him and Lao Hu went silent for quite a while.

“I am so sorry. I have referred two landlords to you and both times it ended up this way.” Lao Hu felt that this was definitely blemishes on his career. Never mind about the previous time, but he would make a point with this current landlord.

“What does that have to do with you? All I can say is that I am very unlucky and run into landlords like them one after another.” Shu Yan smiled. There were plenty of landlords out there like them. She had heard of them in the past. She just didn’t think she would run into them all.

As much as they were very familiar with each other, Shu Yan had a lawyer drafted up the contract anyway. One couldn’t be too safe. The better they had it laid out now, the longer their relationship would last. She didn’t want things to get ugly over some small amounts in the future.

Business went on as usual and, this day, two men in uniform came and asked Shu Yan to present her business permit the minute they walked inside of the shop.

Shu Yan glanced over at them. She had been waiting for this to happen for a few days now.
