Farming Space Makes Me Rich

Chapter 619 - No Rent

Xiao Lingyu was in the office of the General Manager of the company's headquarters.

Someone knocked on the door.

"Please come in!" Xiao Lingyu said loudly.

The one who walked in was An Xiaohui, who was wearing a black business suit.

After more than half a year of experience, An Xiaohui had turned from a rookie into a capable female elite.

An Xiaohui handed the document to Xiao Lingyu and said, "President Xiao, this is the resume of the recruitment from the talent market and the interview tomorrow!"

Xiao Lingyu flipped through it and asked, "Are there five people for the interview tomorrow?"

An Xiaohui nodded and said, "Yes, although they didn't graduate from a famous university, they are very driven individuals." Xiao Lingyu had three recruitment principles, first was their character, the second was their ability, and the last was their university degree.

Since they were mostly new graduates, there would be a three-month probation period. The fittest survive!

Those who should stay would stay, and those who should leave would naturally not stay!

If they were unwilling to leave, they would have to move to another department and start another probation period. If they still failed, there was no other solution than to ask them to leave.

Xiao Lingyu looked at the resumes of these five people and said to An Xiaohui, "Then let them come to the company for an interview at 10 am!"

An Xiaohui nodded and said, "Okay, I'll inform them immediately."

Green Fresh Company was becoming more and more famous in City Z. As a result, more people came to apply for work. Unlike in the beginning, Xiao Lingyu didn't need to go to the talent market anymore. In less than a year, they had transformed from a small company no one cared about to a company with hundreds of millions of assets. Moreover, they were still growing.

After An Xiaohui left with the resumes of the five people, Xiao Lingyun hurried over with a contract document in her hand.

"Sis, the landlord of the house for our second supermarket chain in City N called and said that they are not going to rent us their house anymore," Xiao Lingyun said.

Xiao Lingyu frowned and asked in puzzlement, "Why?"

Xiao Lingyun said, "The landlord said that another shop owner has taken a fancy to his place, and the rent is 20% higher than what we offered."

At this point, Xiao Lingyun asked hesitantly, "Sis, shall we raise our offer too?"

Xiao Lingyu raised her eyebrows and asked with a smile, "Yun 'Er, do you think that the landlord's words are credible?"

"Huh?" Xiao Lingyun immediately reacted, "Sis, do you mean this is their way of scamming us?"

Xiao Lingyu nodded. "Yes, we often open our shops at locations that have little customer traffic because the most important thing to us is the ample parking space. This means that the rent is usually cheap.

"This landlord is lying to us by creating another owner who is interested in his shop. He wanted us to raise our offer. I believe he is a clever person. He probably has asked around and knows that we can afford to give a higher rent."

Xiao Lingyun understood and said in surprise, "So, this landlord is lying!"

"It's very possible!" Xiao Lingyu nodded. "But we can't rule out the possibility there is another owner interested in the shop!"

Xiao Lingyun frowned and asked, "Then, sister, what should we do now?"

"Call the landlord directly and tell him that we're not renting his place anymore. Let him rent it to someone else. We'll find another spot!" Xiao Lingyu said straightforwardly.

Xiao Lingyun said with some hesitation, "But is this okay? Won't we waste more time finding another spot?"

Xiao Lingyu shook her head and said, "No, the one who will waste time is the landlord and not us!"

Xiao Lingyun took a deep breath and said, "Okay."

Xiao Lingyu thought for a moment and said, "Tomorrow, a group of people will come for an interview. The day after tomorrow, Zeng Yaozu and I will go to City N to take a look. As for the landlord, give him the reply I told you!"

"Okay!" Xiao Lingyun then left the general manager's office.

City N was the capital city of the Southern Province.

Taoyuan Village's green fresh fruit and vegetable supermarket would open its eleventh store in City N. Other than City Z, which had two stores, the other cities only had one store each.

Xiao Lingyu was going to open her second supermarket in City N. City N was the capital city of the province, and there were more rich and powerful people. With a bigger market, they could afford a second supermarket. Of course, based on the sales number, they could get away with a third supermarket.

But, Xiao Lingyu's principle was that she would only have a maximum of two of her stores in one city.

Xiao Lingyu sat in her office and rubbed her forehead.

Although she was very successful, she knew that she had been targeted. Her sixth sense had become very sharp.

From the moment she started her fourth supermarket in City S, she felt like someone had been watching her... or rather her supermarkets.

She immediately became alert and repeatedly reminded her subordinates to be extremely careful. They had to be more suspicious of those who were asking too many questions. The employees had to be careful not to be taken advantage of by others.

She had to be careful of insiders too. Therefore, the first thing she looked for when she recruited new employees was their character. She couldn't tell that at the beginning, but after the probation period, she would be able to know a thing or two about their character.

Therefore, Xiao Lingyu would not let people stay if their character did not pass the test.

The people who stayed behind had good characters and were practical in their work. It would be hard for people to look for a loophole.

What made Xiao Lingyu puzzled was that the people in the dark hadn't made any move even though her supermarket chain had already reached the eleventh store.

However, Xiao Lingyu did not dare to let her guard down. She would deal with the threat as they came. She would be ready for any attack. For now, she'd focus on her work.

...

In a room in a high-end residential area in City N, a woman in her fifties was pacing back and forth in the room, rubbing her hands. She seemed to be a little flustered.

"What should we do now? What if they really don't want to rent our place?" At this point, her eyes revealed a hint of anger, "Bastard, I just raised the rent, and you have already back down. What a stingy, poor person. If you don't have the money, why would you open a shop? If I rent you the place, I'm sure you won't pay me the rent!"

While she was swearing, a man in a suit and gold-rimmed glasses, who was of medium build, walked in.

The woman immediately smiled and said, "Husband, you're back. Why are you back so early?" She looked at the time in confusion. It was only three o'clock in the afternoon.

The man ignored her question. As soon as he came in, he frowned and asked, "I heard you swearing outside. What are you swearing about?"

The woman thought for a moment and said, "It's that old house of ours. That black-hearted boss said she wouldn't rent it anymore."

The man was stunned and asked in confusion, "But we had such a good discussion. Why wouldn't she rent it anymore?" At this point, he looked at the woman suspiciously, "Did you do something extra? Otherwise, why did they suddenly back out? You have to know that the rental will be a huge source of income for our family. "If the boss doesn't want to rent it, who else is going to rent it?"

Their old house was not in the city center, nor was it within the scope of demolition. Therefore, the value was not very high, and no one wanted to buy it. Therefore, they could only rent it out.

Of course, if people wanted to buy, he wasn't willing to sell either. The housing price was rising. He wanted to sell when the price was higher.

Therefore, he had to rent it out for now.

Their house was very old-fashioned, and the building area was quite large. It had four floors, and each floor was 600 to 700 square meters. In total, there were two to three thousand square meters.

There was also an empty flat land around it, which also belonged to his family.

If it were not for the fact that they had moved to the city, the old house would be a spacious and comfortable family villa.

But his family wanted to move to the city.

However, the price of housing in the city center was ridiculously high, and the expenses were also huge. Just his salary alone and the retirement pensions of his parents were not enough to cover the expenses of the family.

Therefore, it was imperative to rent that old house.

His luck was not bad. Not long after he put up the rental notice, someone took a fancy to the house. The boss offered a rental of 36,000 per month.

That was already more than what the owner expected. The family really needed this.

But now... the boss said that she didn't want to rent the place anymore.
