Apprentice: I live in Xuanjie, from nine to five

"Could it be that you used this prescription to get your current appearance?"

After Luo Qingcheng finished speaking, she poked Ye Chen's cheek again in surprise, and found that the sensuality was not bad, more real than real.

She hadn't looked at it carefully before, but today she took a closer look and found that Ye Chen's appearance was indeed very good.

Looking at it again, I feel that Ye Chen is very good both in terms of realm and appearance, plus the golden cicada brocade in his sleeve, it is simply a cornucopia for walking, properly tall, rich and handsome!
"I am born with this look." Ye Chen replied truthfully.

Although there is such a prescription, Ye Chen has never used it.When he came here, his face was impeccable, and later he was promoted to the emperor's realm, and he didn't need any prescriptions to ensure that his face would not fade.

"Well, I believe you."

Luo Qingcheng's veil covered the rippling dimples at the corners of her mouth, and her eyes seemed to glow from lanterns.

The moment Ye Chen looked at her, time became very slow, so slow that he could see her slender and thick eyelashes flicker rhythmically a few times.

The atmosphere between the two finally eased, and Luo Qingcheng inexplicably increased her trust in Ye Chen...

After staring at each other for a long time, Ye Chen regained his composure and said, "Okay, let's look at the shop~"

For some reason, Ye Chen felt that just when Luo Qingcheng looked at him, there seemed to be something more attractive in her clear and charming eyes.

But what it was, Ye Chen couldn't say.

He could only find an excuse and turn his attention to the surrounding shops.

Not far away, there was a sudden call.

"Take a look, take a look, the store's lease expires, and the store prices will be halved!"

When I walked in, I found a middle-aged man in brown cloth, holding a wooden sign, shouting for publicity.

"The lease expires, let's take a look."

Ye Chen showed joy, and unconsciously quickened his pace, walking towards the middle-aged man with a big belly.

Sensing a customer coming towards his shop, the middle-aged man smiled and waved.

"Two guest officers, please come in, please come in!"

Ye Chen took Luo Qingcheng into this store, and found that the store sold only women's clothes.

There are still many women shopping in the shop.

As soon as the two of them stepped over the threshold, a woman walked towards them with a smile on her face.

Ye Chen smiled politely, and then asked: "Is your shop lease expired?"

The woman nodded and replied: "Yes, the lease is about to expire, and the price of the clothes will be halved. Do you want to recommend the style to the two of you?"

Ye Chen continued: "Who owns this shop? If you don't plan to renew the lease, I want to buy this shop."

Just as Ye Chen finished speaking, the smile on the woman's face gradually disappeared.

The woman put away your smile, suddenly changed her face, and said coldly: "If you don't want to buy clothes, go out."

"Didn't you say that the lease has expired, and no one is allowed to ask?"

Luo Qingcheng walked forward, ready to argue with the woman.

"Go quickly if you don't buy clothes, no hospitality!" The woman simply turned around and ignored Ye Chen and Luo Qingcheng.

Luo Qingcheng didn't understand, and said angrily: "You guys are too weird!"

"Okay, okay, let's look at something else."

Ye Chen quickly pulled Luo Qingcheng out of the shop, and explained: "The lease expired goods are cheap, it may be a means for them to attract customers to stimulate purchases."

"So that's how it is." Only now did Luo Qingcheng understand why the woman's complexion changed so quickly.

"There are many shops on this street, and there is great competition. Making money is not as easy as you think."

After all, Luo Qingcheng's thinking was too simple.

In addition, this street is the busiest and busiest area in Xuanjie, even if there is a shop that is vacant, it will be booked by others immediately.

"Ok."

After hearing these words, Luo Qingcheng couldn't help feeling a little downcast.She was so preoccupied with getting more money that she didn't think about the actual situation.

……

The two continued to walk forward, and asked several shops that had expired leases one after another, but they were all driven out mercilessly.

Just when Luo Qingcheng was about to give up, the two of them suddenly discovered that there was an empty shop.

Walking in and taking a look, I found that there were servants moving the goods out of the shop one after another.

Presumably the owner of this shop didn't want to do it and was going to move out.

Seeing the hope, Luo Qingcheng hurriedly stepped forward to stop a servant, and asked, "Your shop is not rented anymore?"

The boy sighed, and said, "No more renting, the goods at the beginning of the year and the end of the year have not been sold, and our shopkeeper has paid a lot..."

A shop needs daily expenses, including the rent of the shop and the cost of hiring servants.

In this case, if the turnover cannot reach a certain value, it is equivalent to losing money.

That's why the shopkeeper moved away.

Luo Qingcheng frowned, really puzzled, and asked: "Aren't they all making money, how can they lose money?"

In her mind, even if she pays, she probably won't be able to pay much.

The servant smiled wryly, and said: "The rental fee is paid annually, and if there are no guests, it will be a loss..."

Those who opened a shop on this Changrong Street made a lot of money, and the shopkeepers who lost money went bankrupt.

Luo Qingcheng still didn't understand, and asked: "This street is so lively, how can there be no customers?"

"Girl, you are still too young."

It was inconvenient for the boy to say more, so he carried his things and left.

"The shops on this street are rented on an annual basis?"

Countless questions emerged in Luo Qingcheng's mind.

"I'm not sure, I'm afraid I'll have to find out more." Ye Chen replied truthfully.

He doesn't know much about this area.

At this time, a tall and thin man walked out of the house with his head downcast.

His clothes looked neater than ordinary servants, and he presumably was the shopkeeper of this shop before.

Ye Chen walked up, greeted politely, and said directly: "Your shop is vacant, we want to rent it."

The man's eyes were full of vicissitudes and despondency, he was taken aback for a moment, and then said in a helpless tone: "You have to find the manager of the Yu family."

Luo Qingcheng came over and asked, "The shops here belong to the Yu family?"

The man replied: "The shops in the surrounding streets were built by the big family in the mysterious world, and this one happens to belong to the Yu family."

Among the current aristocratic families in Xuanjie, the Mu family ranks first in terms of financial strength and influence.

The second is the Yu family, with similar financial resources, but the family strength is much worse.

Afterwards are the Qin family and the Su family.

These streets were all funded and built by these families.

Most of the shops on the streets are only rented and not sold, and the rent is extremely high, which is also one of the sources of income for those aristocratic families.

Anyone who owns a shop on this street that is entirely his own can support generations of people just by paying the rental fee.

Ye Chen asked again: "Dare to ask this shop, how much does it cost to buy it?"
