Chapter 352 Rental Conditions
The next morning, the entrance to the county lady's mansion was very busy. After breakfast, everyone said goodbye at the entrance. Some went to listen to stories, some went to the cloth shop, some went to the restaurant, and some went to visit the shops. They all set off.
When Zheng Sisi and her group arrived at the street, many people were standing on the street waiting for her. When they saw her get off the car, Aunt Yu, Uncle Li and Uncle Liu surrounded her. Uncle Li said, "County Lady, we are all waiting for you here. Please go to my house for a cup of tea first, and I will tell you about the situation."
Zheng Sisi looked at Sheng Zhen and the others. Sheng Zhen nodded. Zheng Sisi said, "Okay. Thank you for your hard work, uncle and aunt."
Hu Zi quickly stepped forward to lead the way. Zheng Sisi asked in confusion, "Are you Hu Zi?"
Hu Zi said with a smile: "Yes, County Lady, my home is on this street, haha!"
Zheng Sisi smiled and said, "I didn't expect there would be acquaintances."
Hu Zi also said: "I didn't expect the county lady to be interested in such a remote street like ours. I was quite surprised when I heard about it."
Aunt Yu interrupted, "We had a meeting yesterday to discuss it, and it was Hu Zi who first stood up and said he wanted to rent out the shop. Only with him taking the lead did we start making the decision."
Zheng Sisi praised: "You have good vision."
Hu Zi scratched his head: "I believe in the county lady."
Zheng Sisi was also happy to get recognition from others.
When we arrived at Uncle Li's house, the table and tea were already set up in the yard. He must have gotten up early to prepare them.
Zheng Sisi and the others sat down, and seeing that everyone was standing, she said, "Everyone, don't be shy, find a place to sit!"
Although everyone lives in the capital, the nobles they come into contact with are all arrogant and look down on others. When they suddenly see handsome men and beautiful women up close, and such an approachable noble, everyone doesn't know what to do. When the county lady said to find a seat, everyone realized to find a stool.
Zheng Sisi picked up the teacup in front of her. The tea in it was not good, but it was good enough that they could offer tea to entertain her. It was not easy for people at the bottom of society to make a living in the prosperous city of Beijing. Zheng Sisi took a sip of tea and motioned Sheng Zhen to speak.
Sheng Zhen sat there with his back straight. His aura was so strong that it gave people a sense of oppression. He also had an aura of steel that he had developed on the battlefield, which made the residents sitting next to him dare not even breathe.
Zheng Sisi was helpless. She was afraid that Sheng Zhen would sound like he was training soldiers when he spoke, and she didn't want to scare people. The two idiots beside him were also unreliable. She said, "Let me do it."
She cleared her throat and said, "Everyone, I came to see a few shops yesterday and told them my rental conditions. I believe that the uncles and aunts have already told everyone. I came here today to confirm what you think. Are you willing to rent the shops to me? In what way do you want to rent them to me, or do you want to sell them to me?"
After Zheng Sisi finished speaking, she gave everyone some time to think about it.
Uncle Li took out a piece of paper from his bosom and said, "County Lady, we had a meeting yesterday and we all decided to rent the shop on the street to you and open a small door in the backyard to go in and out. But everyone hopes that you can provide at least one job opportunity for each family. This is the list of everyone. Please take a look at it, County Lady and several nobles."
Zheng Sisi took the list with both hands. No one expected things to go so smoothly. It felt a bit like a dream.
But if you think about it carefully, you can understand that if you sell the house, you will have nowhere to live for the time being, and the money from selling the house may not be enough to buy a house you like. It is better to rent it out and have the opportunity to get another job. It is better to work right at your doorstep than to find a job somewhere else.
Zheng Sisi handed the list to Sheng Zhen and assured everyone, "There will definitely be job opportunities. I need a lot of people to run this street, but I have to be frank. Those who come to work need to be assessed. I am not willing to accept everyone. Those who are lazy and cunning should not come to me."
Everyone assured at once: "We are definitely working hard. If there is such a person, we will eliminate him first."
Zheng Sisi nodded: "There is one more thing I want to confirm. I am not renting a shop for a few months, nor for a year or two. Since I have rented it, you must sign a contract with me. The contract is valid for ten years. If you want to take back the shop during these ten years, you need to compensate me for breach of contract of 10,000 taels."
"What? Ten thousand taels? That's so much."
"We don't even have 10,000 taels for our entire house, why do we have to pay so much?"
"........."
