Chapter 630: Sister, There’s Trouble at Home (Part 1)

Having made up her mind, Shen Nian decided to act quickly. After all, with Chu Lingxiu and Qi Yunzhi now on board as shareholders in her snack shop, she wouldn’t have to spend too much of her own money.

’Other investments can wait, but I can start by buying a house.’

However, Shen Nian wasn’t very knowledgeable in this area. She didn’t have much experience with real estate, and she wasn’t that familiar with B City either.

She just never expected that the perfect person to help was right within her circle.

"Xiao Nian, you’re thinking of buying a house?"

"Yeah, I’ve been thinking about it."

Qi Yunzhi had asked after Shen Nian casually mentioned it back in their dorm room.

"Mhm, with your situation, buying a place near the university would be a pretty good fit. I don’t know anything about real estate, but my brother is quite an expert. How about I ask him for you?"

"Your brother?"

"Yep, my brother. Xiao Nian, don’t be fooled by his carefree, slacker-like attitude. When it comes to real estate in B City, he’s actually done some serious research. Even my grandfather has praised him for it! It’s probably his only real talent."

The impression Qi Chengliang had left on them was that of a good-for-nothing playboy, and one with terrible taste at that.

However, hearing Qi Yunzhi talk about him now, it seemed he wasn’t completely without his merits. Shen Nian certainly wasn’t going to hold a major prejudice against Qi Chengliang just because of what happened before. Since Qi Yunzhi was recommending him so highly, Shen Nian was curious to see if Qi Chengliang really knew his stuff.

"Great. I’ll have to trouble you to ask him for me, then."

"Okay, don’t you worry. I’ll go talk to him today and make sure he puts this at the top of his list and gets it done right away!"

"It’s not that urgent."

"Don’t worry, I’ll definitely make him prioritize anything that concerns you."

Qi Yunzhi was really worrying herself sick over her brother. It wasn’t easy trying to help him score some points with her best friend!

’Whose fault was it but his own for having the bad taste to fall for Gu Shuxin, making me start to question my own brother’s judgment!’

Just as Qi Yunzhi finished speaking, Chu Lingxiu, who had stepped out for a moment, returned.

"Xiao Nian, my brother just called! He said he’s found a storefront, and he’s coming to pick us up in a little while to go see it."

"Really? That’s wonderful! At this rate, our Duoyi Snack Shop should be able to open for business really soon!"

Shen Nian hadn’t even had a chance to speak before Qi Yunzhi burst out, even more excited than she was. Even Wang Chunhua’s eyes lit up as she looked over at them.

"Alright, let’s hurry up and get ready to go. We can’t have Brother Yunze get here and have to wait for us."

"You got it!"

"This is the place. The shop is quite spacious—it has two floors and a pretty big kitchen, which would be perfect for all your equipment. The previous owner is planning to immigrate with his family, so he’s looking to transfer the lease. Word hasn’t gotten out yet. If you’re satisfied with it, you can secure it right away."

Chu Yunze had brought Shen Nian and the other three directly to the food street just outside B University. The shop’s location on this street was prime real estate.

’I bet as soon as word gets out that the owner is selling, this place will be snapped up in no time!’

’After all, the foot traffic here is huge. People even come from all over town, drawn by the street’s reputation. With a location this good, you’d never have to worry about attracting customers, no matter what kind of business you run.’
