However, Zheng Haiyang’s happiness didn’t last for long. Xiao Lingyu explained, “I don’t have the stock to sell daily. However, whenever I do have excess stock, Grandma Song will come to buy every time.”

Zheng Haiyang frowned. “Miss Xiao, does this mean my grandmother might come back empty-handed since you have limited stock?” He felt bad for his grandmother.

Xiao Lingyu quickly clarified. “Oh no. I will always reserve some for Grandma Song. If I have excess stock, I will call Grandma Song in advance, and she will come to pick up the vegetables very early in the morning.”

“Good!” Zheng Haiyang was relieved. “In the future, I shall get grandmother to buy more of your crops. That way, I won’t have to come to this hotel to fight for food with others!”

Xiao Lingyu smiled but said nothing.

Gu Ziye cut in, “Haiyang, will there be a problem for you to rent that shop to Miss Xiao?”

Zheng Haiyang answered, “Of course. It’s not a problem. The lease is expiring next month. I’ll stop renewing the lease with the current renter and rent it to Miss Xiao instead.”

Xiao Lingyu was worried, “Is that okay?”

Zheng Haiyang waved his hands. “They are not a good renter in the first place. Since they’ve violated the contract, I have the right to kick them out. Since Miss Xiao has the need, I’ll get to save myself the trouble of finding a new renter. Moreover, my grandmother has rented her house to you. It means that she likes you. For both Gu Ziye and my grandmother, I have to rent that shop to you.”

Zheng Haiyang added, “Miss Xiao, do you know the house you’re currently renting was built by my Grandpa when he married Grandma? He gave it to her as a wedding present. Grandma and Grandpa only moved after my uncle had his grandson! They were very reluctant to leave. It was a waste for the house to sit there, but they couldn’t bear to sell it. So they wanted to rent it, but they were afraid that they wouldn’t find a good renter. Therefore, the house had been worrying them. Grandma must have believed in your character to rent the house to you.”

Xiao Lingyu did overhear the conversation between Grandpa Song and Grandma Song before she rented the house. However, she didn’t expect Grandma Song actually build the house as a wedding present for Grandma Song. No wonder they cared so much for it. This house was a testament to their love and affection for each other.

Zheng Haiyang said, “Miss Xiao, would you like to see the shop now? It’s about 100 square meters. Will that be too small?”

Xiao Lingyu chuckled, “100 square meters is still too small? Then what is big?” Then, she added with more seriousness, “A shop of that size is enough.” She was not going to start a vegetable market. She was going for quality over quantity.

“Then, shall we go now and have a look together?” Gu Ziye suggested. “The shop is in the city center. If you’re not satisfied with the shop, we can look at the others.”

Xiao Lingyu was concerned, “But it’s business hours now. Won’t we be interrupting the owners?”

Zheng Haiyang huffed, “They should be thankful that I’ve not kicked them out! I’m bound by the lease to let them stay until the end of this month. Then, I’ll send them packing!” He added, “Plus, the shop is mine. The lease is almost up, so it’s within my right to end the lease and find a better renter.”

“Alright then.” Xiao Lingyu was persuaded.

This was her first step into the business world, so she had to be prepared.

The group left the hotel.

They had no idea the storm they had left in their wake.
