♂?,,
Looking at the card in his hand, Xiao Yu couldn't help but laugh and cry. He knew that he had been tricked by that little girl. On the surface, she was giving him sugar vinegar ribs, but in reality, she wanted him to attend her birthday party.
This little girl is from a wealthy family, why would a poor student like you join in on the fun?
I had thought not to bother with her, but then I thought, since I've already accepted her card and she's even sent a driver to wait for me, if I don't go, this old fellow will definitely be unhappy, and that would really spoil the fun.
It's just a birthday party, what's the big deal? It's not like it's a den of thieves, so what's wrong with going once?
After hastily eating lunch, Xiao Yu put the dishes Qin Lulu had bought for herself and Shen Mengqi's sugar vinegar ribs into her stomach, feeling a bit bloated, but following the principle that food cannot be wasted, Xiao Yu still managed to finish every last grain.
There was one thing he didn't understand, for an entire afternoon, Qin Lulu didn't give Xiaoyu a good face to look at.
What's going on again? Is it because I ate the sweet and sour ribs that Shen Mengqi gave me? But I also ate the meal she bought for me!
Xiao Yu couldn't figure it out, so he simply stopped thinking about it. Girls always have a few days each month when they're irritable, so he just gave in to her for now.
Go home after school.
Just helped Xiao Dao and others in the kitchen for a while, Tao Hong rushed in hastily and said to Xiao Yu, "Xiao Yu, there are two people looking for you. They say they are from Fumao House Rental Company and want to discuss contract matters. I saw that there were too many guests on the first floor, so I let them go to the small living room on the second floor."
"Who's Fu Mao?" Xiaoyu's heart tightened, sensing that something was amiss. He said to Tao Hong, "Thanks, little sister Hong, you go ahead and I'll head up to the second floor right away."
He exchanged a greeting with Xiao Dao, then Xiao Yu took off his apron, washed his hands, and headed straight to the second floor.
On the second floor, near the staircase, there is a small living room. Xiao Yu has placed two sofas there, a 25-inch color TV, and a computer for everyone to use in their free time.
At this time, two people were sitting on the sofa. The middle-aged man sitting on the left was thin and had no flesh on his body, with a dark complexion. A small suit worn on his body still looked very loose.
But the young man beside him was different, with red lips and white teeth, a complete white-faced youngster, only with dark eye circles, looking somewhat drunk.
"Whoa, who are you? Oh, it's Director Zhao and young master Wang. What wind blew you two here?" Xiaoyu sat down on a single-person sofa next to the two of them. It was his first time seeing Wang Tao since that day's bidding meeting. Looks like this kid hasn't been slacking off in his pursuit of women lately.
"Zhang Xiaoyu!" Wang Tao's eyes reddened, gritting his teeth as he said, "How dare you deceive me? Uncle is not Han Biao of the 'Wan Tong Group' at all!"
Xiao Yu didn't think they would find out so quickly that he had lied at the bidding meeting, but what's the point? The bidding meeting was already over, Qin Lu had signed the contract, and the result couldn't be changed.
"Oh, is that so? I made a mistake, sorry!"
Wang Tao was so angry that his face turned white. After that bidding meeting, he specially found a private detective to investigate Xiao Yu's background. As a result, it was discovered that Xiao Yu was a complete grassroots and had no relationship with Hei Dao, the big boss of Huangpu District.
In addition, he also found out that Xiao Yu had opened a noodle shop, and the rented store was actually Fumo's.
This result made him overjoyed, anything that can hit Xiao Yu, he will execute with all his might. Today, he brought Zhao to this place, just for a sinister purpose.
Wang Tao's face revealed a cold smile as he said to Xiao Yu, "Zhang Xiaoyu, if I'm not mistaken, the rented house is ours at Fumao, right? I came today to formally notify you that next month, get out of here. We're no longer renting out this house."
Xiao Yu knew that the other party coming to their doorstep was definitely not a good thing. As expected, they actually wanted to unilaterally tear up the contract. Their business had just started, and every single person in the store, including Xiao Dao, Da Niu, Lao Zhang Tou, Zhou Xin, etc., had invested a lot of effort into this small eatery. If they lost the store, all their previous efforts would be in vain.
With a cold glance, he opened his mouth and said, "Wang Da Gongzi, if I'm not mistaken, the contract for this house is due in October, right? There are still six months left, isn't it a bit too hasty?"
Wang Tao's expression paused for a moment, he just wanted to let Xiao Yu roll away as soon as possible, but didn't expect there was still a contract, so he could only look at Zhao and cast him a questioning glance.
Director Zhao coughed and slowly pulled out a few papers from his briefcase, saying, "The contract for this house indeed expires in October. However, there is a clause that states if the first party proposes to terminate the contract ahead of schedule, they must compensate the second party with five times the deposit. I checked, and the deposit for this contract is one month's rent. Therefore, Fumao is willing to pay 40,000 yuan, equivalent to five months' rent, as a penalty for terminating the contract early."
Wang Tao was delighted and shouted, "Right! Right! It's just 40,000 yuan! I can afford to pay!"
400,000 yuan is naturally a small sum for Jinsheng Group. During that charity performance, he even donated 1 million!
Director Zhao secretly shook his head, the other party had rented for less than six months, but he had to compensate for five months of rent. This business was a definite loss for Fu Mao, but Wang Da Gongzi insisted on taking back the store, and he couldn't do anything about it.
Xiao Yu was taken aback, when he first signed the contract, he didn't notice this clause. The contract format is a standard template set by Fumao, and this provision is reasonable. The landlord is willing to compensate five times the deposit, which is already very good. After all, the annual rent for renting the house is only 960,000 yuan.
However, their business was booming, and once the store was taken over by Fu Mao, not only would they lose their source of income, but Xiao Dao, Da Niu, Zhou Xin, Er Ya, and Xiao Mei would also have nowhere to live.
Wang Tao's move was extremely ruthless, obviously wanting to give himself a way out by cutting off his own retreat.
"Wang Tao! Shameless!" Little Yu's anger grew as he thought about it, his rage surging to his forehead, a formless killing aura emanating from his body.
Wang Tao and Director Zhao were both shocked, their hearts racing with a hint of panic. Did Little Yu want to resort to violence? Wang Tao had suffered at the hands of Little Yu before, and his limbs began to feel numb. He kept nudging Director Zhao with his elbow, urging him to come up with a plan.
Director Zhao, having gone through thick and thin, stuttered and said, "Zhang Xiaoyu, we are all civilized people, let's not resort to violence. We live in a society ruled by law, if you're not satisfied, you can sue us! Our company, Fumao, has designated lawyers for this kind of lawsuit!"
At this time, Xiao Yu also gradually calmed down. He knew that beating these two people would be useless and would only make things worse. Fu Mao was backed by the wealthy and powerful Jin Sheng Group, so what's the point of getting into a lawsuit with them? The store originally belonged to them anyway, and they had already agreed to pay liquidated damages. What else could he ask for? It wasn't like he could just refuse to leave.
Looking at the ugly faces of the two men in front of him, Xiaoyu would have liked to use his three-section staff to smash their heads to pieces, but he knew that this was just a thought and could not be done. There are many things in the world that cannot be solved by force.
Xiao Yu gritted his teeth and said in a low voice, "Fine! If you want to move out, then move out. According to the contract, if the landlord terminates the contract ahead of time, they need to notify the tenant one month in advance. I just paid this month's rent, so shouldn't I still have the right to live here for another month?"
"Of course, we agreed that a month later, I'll come here to collect the house!" Wang Tao was eager for Xiao Yu to move out today, but after all, he still had to follow the contract. However, seeing Xiao Yu's face, he was already extremely satisfied, and this trip wasn't in vain.
Xiao Yu and Director Zhao went through the formalities, signed the advance cancellation of contract compensation agreement, and Director Zhao handed over 40,000 yuan to Xiao Yu on the spot. The matter was settled just like that.
After finishing their business, Wang Tao and the other person didn't want to stay here any longer, feeling that staying one more second would risk being beaten up, so they quickly slipped away with their bags.
Chased away the two pests, Xiao Yu returned to the kitchen with a worried expression. His business had only been open for a few months, and although his income was good, his expenses were also high. He currently had around 150,000 yuan in his account, and adding the 40,000 yuan penalty he received earlier, it still wasn't enough to buy a house. So, he would have to rent a new store.
At first, I walked from head to tail on this Tianlin Road and finally found this store, now it has been taken over by Fomao, where can I go to find a new store?
In addition, Tianlin Road is a treasure land for making money. If you leave Tianlin Road, not only will you lose many old customers, but also if the geographical location is not good, it's a problem whether the business can be done or not.
There is only one month's time, which is really a bit too tight.
"Xiao Yu, what did the people from the housing rental company come for? Nothing's wrong, is it?" Xiao Dao asked as he walked over to Xiao Yu, noticing that his face didn't look good.
"Alright, never mind, Xiao Dao, I'll be busy. I'm going out for a bit." Xiaoyu felt that the kitchen was a bit noisy and wanted to go outside to get some fresh air and take a look at what stores were renting out.
As I walked, this was the busiest time on Tianlin Road. Neon lights flickered on both sides of the street, and pedestrians came and went in all directions. Each store did its best to attract customers.
Xiao Yu let out a sigh in his heart, he was actually forced out of Tianlin Road by others, and he really couldn't accept it. He just couldn't figure out why life had to be so difficult. From now on, he would never end with the Wang father and son!
As he walked, he thought about his worries, and in the distance, a two-story building appeared before his eyes. This place was not unfamiliar to Xiao Yu, it was Yang Boss's 'Tianlin Hot Pot City', the venue for the Tianlin Snack Street Food Competition.
There isn't a single light on in Hot Pot City, it looks like they're not open for business.
After Liu Bao Cai left, Yang boss's idea of opening 'Tian Lin Food City' also fell through. According to Xiao Dao, his hot pot business has been unable to continue recently due to trouble from hooligans, could it be that they really closed down?
Xiao Yu's heart moved involuntarily, and an idea suddenly appeared in his mind. After a brief moment of consideration, this idea gradually took shape.
Looking at the 'Tianlin Hot Pot City' in front of him, Xiaoyu's face revealed a faint smile, and he immediately quickened his pace and walked over.
