SFFCK (Complete)

Chapter 53

(T/N: Xiang Piao Shi Li translates to 'sweet-smelling aroma traveling for five kilometers'. That's such a long restaurant name lol so I just left it in Chinese.)

Xiang ChangKong: "..."

"The tiny BBQ stores in our neighborhood are like that, ah. Nevermind the food, as long as there's a pretty face, business will boom!" Cheng Peng quarreled with his wife about this several times, but in the end, he couldn't win. He could only run away and obediently look for other commercial places to rent.

Xiang ChangKong thought about their previous neighborhood. It had plenty of stores, and because it was near residential buildings, everyone was familiar with each other and paid less attention to the beauty and aesthetics of their shops. Xiang ChangKong said: "Truthfully, even if your store has a good style, the most important thing when it comes to small snack shop is hygiene, followed by taste."

"That one empty spot in our neighborhood could easily be decorated stylishly, ah." Cheng Peng mumbled.

Xiang ChangKong told him: "Perhaps she thinks that your community's geographical location specifically has no style."

(T/N: your neighborhood specifically has no style, it has nothing to do with the store.)

"..." Cheng Peng was silent for a while, then said: "The boss of Xiang Piao Shi Li is what pulls customers, ah."

Xiang ChangKong smiled. "Their snack store is decorated in a very distinctive and simple style. Also, their boss isn't often in the store."

Cheng Peng's eyes narrowed. "You eat there?"

"Un, their food tastes pretty delicious."

Cheng Peng: "..."

Ah, he shouldn't have invited this traitor for skewers! Who knew that Xiang ChangKong was colluding with the enemy!

The third commercial space they visited was the worst one- it was why Cheng Peng chose to leave it for last. It wasn't that the location was terrible, or the space was lousy- quite the opposite, actually. It was so good that Cheng Peng was sure that he wouldn't be able to afford such a store unless he worked for several more years.

The space was located in a business district near QingNan street. QingNan street was practically the landmark of City A's nightlife. Its bars would always be filled, and most of their customers were wealthy clients and celebrities. QingNan street's high-end bars were places ordinary people couldn't afford.

What's more, because of QingNan street, the area around it increased in value. So the value of this particular commercial space was evident.

"I really shouldn't have come and looked at this kind of place." Cheng Peng initially wanted to visit this store just to get a feel of the place. But after looking at all the rental prices for spaces near QingNan street, Cheng Peng was full of awe. He looked at Xiang ChangKong and asked: "Do you come here to drink at night?"

Xiang ChangKong replied: "No, I only come here during the day for deliveries."

Cheng Peng shook his head. "I used to do deliveries here at night. So many luxury cars would be parked outside the bars that it was more spectacular than most car shows! If your car is even just the littlest bit inferior, it would be so obvious because it would be surrounded by such expensive cars."

As a native of City A, Xiang ChangKong naturally knew such information. The rows of luxury cars in QingNan street used to be in the newspaper, after all. Cheng Peng sighed and asked him: "By the way, which area is your girlfriend's store in?"
