Chapter 301 Preparing to Open a Studio

Lin Yuyao said irritably, "You don't have to go to work, but I do. It's been a long vacation, it's time to go."

She felt quite guilty that Zhou Jing and Liu Yihuan had been busy while she was on leave for so long.

"Alright, then come back early tomorrow."

"Leave work at the normal time."

How could it be so early? Really.

I haven't even started work yet, but I'm already looking forward to getting off work.

……

The next day at work, Lin Yuyao brought them a lot of food.

Looking at her radiant face, the two joked, "Getting married really makes a difference, doesn't it? It feels like Yuyao has suddenly grown up."

"That's what people call mature charm."

"Yes, yes, they've suddenly matured."

"Speaking of women and men..."

As their conversation became increasingly offensive, Lin Yuyao quickly suggested that she go upstairs to the warehouse to get the goods.

During her lunch break, she rode her bike to the new house to check on the renovations.

It's almost finished; we're just putting the finishing touches on it.

Because they insist on not using paint, the sanding of the wood requires more effort.

The wood surface is sanded until it is extremely smooth, and then wood wax oil is applied for protection.

There are quite a few custom-made wooden furniture pieces for the whole house, which is also a big project.

She chatted with the workers and learned that the job would be finished in about two or three days.

Clean up the room again and tell her to come back in three days to take possession.

When she got home that night, she told Fu Huaiyi about it.

“Our house is almost finished. The workers said we can take possession in three days. It’s the weekend, you’re not working.”

Look at this job, another day off is almost here.

"Then I'll go collect the keys to the house?"

"Yes, I've already spoken to them. I went to check on them today; all that's left is the final finishing touches and cleaning."

"Okay, I'll go then."

"By the way, have you found a place to open your studio?"

"No, it's my first day at work today. Let's talk about it in a few days."

"I found it for you."

Lin Yuyao was taken aback. "You found it? Where?"

"It's upstairs in your bookstore."

"Upstairs in the bookstore?"

"Yes, it's a four-story building. The bookstore occupies two floors, and the upstairs has always been empty."

"That landlord wouldn't be... Sister Leyi?"

"Yes, I talked to her. The house is empty anyway, so she agreed to rent the two floors upstairs to us."

A single-story house is about 200 square meters, and a double-story house is 400 square meters. Why would a small studio need to be that big?

“I only rent one floor, I don’t need that much space.”

“Sure, we can rent another floor when we get bigger.”

Now the renovation workers don't have to leave anymore. After the new house is finished, they can come and help them renovate the studio.

Fu Leyi came over the next day.

She had previously said that she would no longer manage the bookstore and would formally apply to be Zhou Jing's manager.

They were all surprised when she suddenly came.

"boss……"

Fu Leyi waved her hand and smiled, "I'm not here to see you. I'm here to see Yuyao. It's a private matter."

Watching her get out of the car, wearing a red dress and high heels, carrying a small bag and sunglasses, it was as if I were seeing her again when I first met her, with that same confidence.

It seems she has gradually emerged from the shadow of being hurt by the Pan family and has become a true strong woman.

"sister."

"Yuyao, I heard from Ayi that you're planning to rent the apartment upstairs?"

"Yes, is this convenient for you?"

"Sure, it's just sitting there anyway. But it's not renovated yet, would you like to go up and take a look?"

"Okay."

"Then come with me."

She led Lin Yuyao up to the third floor and opened the staircase.

What came into view was a large, empty house.

The windows were all closed, so it was pitch black and we needed to use a flashlight.

The ground was covered with construction debris, dust, and dark cement floor and walls.

Seeing that she was having trouble in high heels, Lin Yuyao said to her, "Sister, I'll go see it myself."

"Alright, go open the window."

After opening the window, the room became bright.

Of course, it can't compare to the one downstairs.

Cement absorbs light, so it's generally dark.

"what do you think?"

“Great, sis, I want to rent this floor.”

“That’s fine. One floor is enough for a small studio. We can consider adding another floor if we grow bigger in the future. Sister, how much do you want per month?”

She carefully walked to the window in her high heels.

After looking at the street scene outside for a while, Fu Leyi said, "This place has convenient transportation, and there is a pedestrian street behind it. It can be considered one of the best locations in Chenshan Town."

"Yes."

“A good location and a big house are definitely not cheap. Although our two families are relatives, since we’re talking about doing business, I should charge the rent in the same way I want.”

"Sister, this is what I should do."

"Then I'll charge you five cents a day."

What?

Five cents a day?

How is this calculated?

Seeing that she was still a little confused, Fu Leyi smiled and said, "The office buildings and storefronts are charged per square meter, which means it's five cents per square meter per day. So, if it's two hundred square meters, I'll charge you three hundred a month. How does that sound? If you rent the fourth floor, I'll give you a fifty-cent discount."

These days, storefronts and office buildings are expensive, and there aren't many apartments that are 200 square meters. In this location, 300 square meters isn't expensive.

Actually, she could have found a house in a worse location, or one that was cheaper.

But never mind, it's convenient for her to read here, and it's close to home.

There are buses in all directions around, making it convenient for employees to commute to and from get off work.

As for the fourth floor? It will probably be rented out eventually if it gets bigger.

So be it.

"Okay, that's it."

That's how it was settled. We signed a five-year lease and paid six months' rent upfront, which came to 1,800 yuan.

Housing is the biggest issue; once housing is secured, things will be much easier.

She doesn't need to worry about getting the certificate; she'll definitely be able to get it done.

After the new house is finished, we'll hire workers to renovate this place.

She can start hiring people during the renovation period.

It would be best if Sister Song could come. If she can't, I'll have to find a way to recruit an experienced editor.

These days, editors are hard to find; if all else fails, she has to do it herself.

In the year or so she has worked here, she has not simply been a bookseller.

She figured out how to make a magazine.

After Fu Leyi left, Zhou Jing and Liu Yihuan came over.

"Yuyao, are you really planning to do it yourself?"

"Yes."

The two looked at each other.

"This is so sudden."

Lin Yuyao said, "It was quite sudden. I originally planned to work here for three years before considering starting my own business. Now things have changed, and I've only been here for a little over a year. I'm quite surprised myself."

"So why did you suddenly decide to do it yourself?"

This……

Just then, the phone rang.

Liu Yihuan answered the call and said to Lin Yuyao, "Yuyao, it's for you."

Lin Yuyao picked up the phone; it was Song Qin calling.

"Sister Song?"

"It's me, Yuyao. I've thought about what you told me last time. When are you free? Let's meet."
