K city.

The sun is shining, and the temperature at noon is much higher than that in the morning.

From the railway station, Tang Huai and the railway station rented two bicycles.

She and Liu Xiaoxiao each rode towards Jinan middle school.

Tang Huai is familiar with the city center and suburbs.

In her last life, she came to work in K City, and the environment was almost the same as now.

She married Jingpeng for twenty years, including three years in Jingpeng city

Liu Xiaoxiao is very curious about everything in the city.

There are so many buildings and buildings in the city. Many buildings are under construction.

There are also some big roads, poured with cement, and cycling is very smooth.

They stopped playing on the way from the railway station to Ji Nan high school.

Seeing a beautiful building, Liu Xiaoxiao wants to come down and have a look. Seeing a larger lake, Liu Xiaoxiao wants to stop and have a look.

After a park, Liu Xiaoxiao also stopped to have a look.

Seeing a van coming, Liu Xiaoxiao still had to stop and have a look.

Of course, when she passed a good restaurant, she also had to stop and have a look.

Tang Huai understood Liu Xiaoxiao's curiosity. She patiently accompanied Liu Xiaoxiao to see this and that.

It's normal to have such a reaction when you come to a big city for the first time.

If there is no such reaction, it is abnormal.

Finally, I came to Ji Nan middle school.

The area of Ji Nan middle school is twice as large as that of the county!

The greening inside is very good, the playground is also large, and there are so many teaching buildings like No. 1 middle school.

The school building of No. 1 middle school has only three floors, and each teaching building here has four floors.

The teaching building is in the north, the dormitory of the student gate and the dormitory of the teacher are in the south. The dormitory building is the same as the teaching building, which has four floors.

The campus, playground and buildings can be seen that they are new.

Only the gate, arch fence and stone tablet of the school can show some sense of age.

Liu Xiaoxiao and Tang Huai looked in at the school gate with their bicycles.

Liu Xiaoxiao exclaimed, "it's bigger than No. 1 middle school!"

"Sure." There may not be many students at this time. In a few years, it will be very different.

Now we advocate economic development and children should read more books.

But many families have to give up their studies to make a living because of poverty, even if they have a lot of reading materials.

A few years later, with the improvement of living standards, more children will get learning opportunities, and the number of school students will increase.

In particular, Ji Nan, a historic school with the title of provincial senior high school, is the capital of the province, and Ji Nan middle school is the target of top students.

"It's said that the top students are admitted here." Liu Xiaoxiao said.

"The highest admission score in the province." Tanghuai road.

"Tang Huai, if your score reaches this level, you must come here to high school!"

"Aunt Xiao, I'm very happy to be admitted to the high school of No. 1 middle school."

Her science is always lagging behind. There is a problem that she doesn't understand at all and is directly empty.

The composition is not well written. I don't know how many points to give, and the words are crooked. I don't know if I will deduct more points for the sake of ugly words

But Tang Huai is confident in English and history. But Ji Nan middle school admission score is too high, she dare not hold too much hope.

"If only I could come here to study."

"Whether I can come here to study or not, our branch is set up here."

Referring to this, Liu Xiaoxiao remembered that their focus was to find shops, not to see the school: "let's go and see if there are good shops."

After taking a turn around, Tang Huai took a fancy to a shop between Ji Nan middle school and South China University.

Here, there is a row of buildings, a total of ten.

They are all new buildings with four or five floors.

In front of two buildings on the second floor, there are banners for hotels and accommodation.

In front of others, the words "single room rental" and "Suite Rental" are pasted.

Even so, some people opened shops on the first floor.

There is a tailor's shop, a bookstore and a clothing store.

The rest are advertised with investment promotion billboards.

What Tang Huai likes is that the first floor is a shop connected by two houses.

On the second floor, the words "Hotel, accommodation" are hung, and the first floor is the open store.

Because it is connected by two buildings and the area is twice as large as other stores, Tang Huai is very satisfied with such a wide area.

After observing the store, Tang Huai and Liu Xiaoxiao pushed their bicycles and walked slowly nearby: "aunt Xiao, what do you think?"

"It's large and has four walls. If we rent it, it's very convenient to install and repair it." Liu Xiao said, I just don't know the area is so large and how much is the monthly rent.

Tang Huai smiled: "I've noticed that there are clothes hanging on the balcony of both long-term rental houses and temporary accommodation buildings. This shows that there are a lot of people dispatched here. Walking from here is the pedestrian street, behind which is the park and industrial area. Now there are schools on the left and right sides of us. If our happy catering has made a reputation, whether it's students, people who come shopping, people who work nearby, or People who rent houses here will come to eat. The passenger flow must be more than that of the county. "

Liu Xiaoxiao heard about it and looked far away. She didn't understand the geographical location, but she looked forward to opening a branch here.

"I memorized the address. Before it's dark, let's go to Uncle Gu and ask him to talk to the store owner, try to keep the price down and pay the rent for half a year at one time." Gu Jiajia wrote Tang Huai her uncle's address. It's not far from here by bike. It's half an hour away.

"Why should we pay half a year's rent at one time? In this way, we are not at a loss?" If business is bad, isn't the risk great?

"The restaurant has just started and doesn't have so much money. Otherwise, I want to pay more rent for six years at one time."

"Don't joke with me, Tang Huai." Such a joke is not funny at all.

Tang Huai just smiled and said nothing.

The rent will only become more and more expensive, not cheap.

Half an hour later, Tang Huai came to a huge construction site and found Gu Jiajia's uncle.

Uncle has an independent office on the construction site.

The office is very big. My uncle entertains Tang Huai and Liu Xiaoxiao with tea, dried peanuts and candy.

Uncle is the kind of tall and dignified man who looks very loyal and steady.

A loose brown dress, stained with cement and dust.

Tang Huai told his uncle about the address of the store, his intended rental price and how to decorate it.

When Tang Huai talked about these matters, his uncle listened carefully and never interrupted.

After listening, my uncle looked at Tang Huai admiringly with his penetrating eyes: "I've met many businessmen. They have experience and skills, but their plans are not as comprehensive as yours. You have such a careful mind at a young age. You're a genius in business. Tomorrow I'll go to the boss to help you lower the price and sign a one-year lease!"

Tang Huai smiled and looked at his uncle gratefully: "uncle, thank you!"

"I know you're coming. I've prepared your accommodation for you, South China hotel. The dishes are well prepared. I'll take you there and taste them." Uncle smiled.

hotel?

Liu Xiaoxiao was surprised and looked forward to it.

She hasn't stayed in a hotel, but she knows that the hotel is a high-end place. It costs a lot of money to stay for one night. The food inside is also more expensive than that in restaurants outside.

Tang Huai smiled calmly. After thanking his uncle, he came to the South China hotel with Liu Xiaoxiao.

South China hotel is not far from this huge construction site, but the site area is large. Tang Huai felt that he had walked for a long time before he came to South China hotel.

"Uncle, your project is so huge. Is it to build a real estate?" Asked Tang Huai.

"No, this is funded by the government. After it is completed, it will attract investment. It is said to engage in high-level clubs, not real estate."

"Oh."

South China Hotel, with fashionable decoration, is a luxury hotel here.

Show them the room, and then come to the first floor for dinner.

Uncle invited them to eat with them. People look serious, but they are not people who put on airs.

However, my uncle was busy and carried a briefcase with a BB machine.

The BB machine inside kept ringing. Every time it rang, he took it out for a look and put it back.

Every time the BB machine was taken out, Liu Xiaoxiao's eyes looked straight at it, wondering what it was?

After dinner, my uncle will send Tang Huai and Liu Xiaoxiao back to their room to have a rest.

Uncle didn't say, but Tang Huai could see that he was a little absent-minded. Maybe he was really busy, otherwise the BB machine wouldn't keep ringing.

"Uncle, you don't have to see me off. Aunt Xiao and I will stand at the gate of the hotel for a while. Go and be busy. I'm sorry to waste so much time." Tang Huai looked at his uncle and said with a smile.

My uncle thought for a moment and said, "OK! Just walk around. Don't go too far. It's too late. It's not safe."

As soon as his uncle left, Liu Xiaoxiao pulled Tang Huai's arm and asked, "Tang Huai, do you see that thing in Uncle Jiajia's bag!"

"I see."

"What's that? It looks awesome."

"Of course, it's a pager."

"Pager? What pager?"

"It's a kind of communication tool, which is more convenient than the landline. My uncle's pager kept ringing. It was someone calling him. He couldn't find the phone to reply to the other party because he accompanied us to dinner. Maybe the other party had something urgent and didn't wait for his reply, so he kept calling."

"If you have a pager, I'll call you and you'll call me back. What do I use to call you?"

"Landline." Tang Huai said with a smile: "when I open a branch here, I will install a landline. At that time, a group of people will be in the county and a group of people will be in the city. If there is anything, I can communicate by telephone. It's very convenient."

"Where's the pager? Where can I buy it? I want one, too." Liu Xiaoxiao said.

"OK, then each of us will have one. Hang it on your waist and look awesome." Tang Huai patted his waist and said with a smile.

"I've been cycling all day and my legs are sore. Let's go back to our room and have a rest."

"Yes." Tang Huai and Liu Xiaoxiao just stood at the gate of the hotel for a while and returned to the hotel without turning around.

As soon as I entered the hotel, I saw several people come out of the hotel.

Tang Huai and Liu Xiao saw themselves standing at the door, so they came in and stood next to them, looking at the group curiously.

The clothes and temperament of these people are people who are either rich or expensive.
