Lakefront Villa.
The two sat on the rattan chairs on the second-floor balcony, one on the left and the other on the right, looking far into the scenic view of East Lake.
Chen Feng loved to observe the outside of the villa from here, not only appreciating the natural scenery but also the bustling flow of tourists and passersby. It was lively.
And sitting here with his legs crossed, he felt a relaxed and serene sense of ease.
Of course, it would be even better with a beautiful woman by his side to chat with and enjoy so tea. Otherwise, being alone felt quite lonely.
The last ti soone accompanied him like this was Jin Xinyan. This ti, it was Lin Yujiao.
"Does ngting really have no objections to ?"
Although Chen Feng had said before that Wu ngting had no objections, Lin Yujiao still felt uneasy and wanted to verify it face-to-face once more.
Chen Feng understood her cautiousness and nodded, "Mm, she has no objections."
Only then did Lin Yujiao feel at ease again.
She was a bit cautious, fearing that Wu ngting would be very opposed to her coming to Xiu Zhou and being with Chen Feng.
Or perhaps out of a guilty conscience and inferiority complex, she felt she had no competitive edge over Wu ngting, Chen Feng's potential girlfriend.
But deep down, she longed to get closer to Chen Feng and receive so of his care and attention.
She wasn't sure how long her relationship with Chen Feng could last, but until it ended, she wanted to spend as much ti with him as possible.
Of course, her opening a branch store here in Xiu Zhou also ca with the intention of earning more money.
This way, even if she left Chen Feng and didn't have him to rely on, she would have the financial independence to live the life she wanted.
"The rent this ti, don't deliberately give a discount again. Charge what it should be. You know, I've made so money now."
"Okay."
The clothing store in Lu City indeed made good money; she had earned at least hundreds of thousands by now, giving her the confidence to open a branch in Xiu Zhou.
Of course, primarily because Chen Feng wanted to be considerate of Lin Yujiao's feelings, he planned to charge her rent according to the market rate.
"Shall we go check out the shop now?"
Lin Yujiao inquired.
As soon as she arrived, Chen Feng dragged her into the villa.
Then, almost two hours passed.
"Okay, let's head over to check out the shop now."
Chen Feng stood up and said to her, "I don't know if the location is suitable for your clothing store, but there are a few clothing shops on this street, so it won't be isolated, which could hurt business. If you find it unsuitable, you don't have to rent it; look for another location."
"Before I ca, I checked online; everyone says the shop locations here are excellent, at least with high foot traffic, given the proximity to East Lake Lakefront. Also, there's a fairly large local resident population."
"Alright, it's up to you. Check it out first, then decide. If it truly doesn't fit, don't force it for my sake. Anyway, the shop's been empty since I bought it."
Seeing Chen Feng re-emphasize it, Lin Yujiao relaxed and nodded, "Okay, I'll decide after checking it out."
Then, they changed clothes and drove over to inspect the shop.
Lin Yujiao looked inside and outside, feeling quite satisfied, then stood at the entrance for a while, observing the foot traffic, also pleased.
The foot traffic here was significant, consisting not only of out-of-town tourists but also many local residents. Undoubtedly, her clothing store would primarily target the local resident population.
"I'm very satisfied with this shop. What's the rent? Earlier, I checked online, and rents for shops here typically go for ten to twenty thousand a month."
"Then ten thousand it is," Chen Feng said casually.
"No way. The shop area is rather large; I think at least twenty thousand, so let's make it twenty thousand. At this price, I'm already getting a deal."
"At twenty thousand, what profit do you make?"
"At this location, there's definitely profit to be made. As long as the clothing styles are good and the quality is good, plenty of people will co to buy," Lin Yujiao said confidently.
As they were talking, the shop door suddenly opened, and Jin Xinyan entered with a bright smile.
"Bro, is this the hotown friend you ntioned?"
Jin Xinyan walked over and asked, sizing up Lin Yujiao.
Older than her, shorter than her, and her appearance was slightly inferior, with an undeniable hint of rusticity, definitely losing to her, a city dweller.
If she had an advantage, it would be her maintained figure, curvy and neat, with a clean vibe.
"Yes, her na is Lin Yujiao. Yu Jiao, this is Jin Xinyan, my personal assistant."
Chen Feng introduced them calmly.
"Hello."
"Hello."
Jin Xinyan approached with a cheerful smile, extending a hand towards a sowhat stiff Lin Yujiao.
"Sister Yujiao, my bro truly treats you well. He asked to specially renovate this shop for you, planning a surprise for you. Plus, he's thinking of letting you live in the Lakefront Villa. I'm so jealous."
Jin Xinyan spoke cheerfully, her words flowing naturally.
Lin Yujiao awkwardly replied, "It truly is a surprise and very touching."
After saying this, she curiously asked, "You call him bro, so are you also his sworn sister?"
Before Jin Xinyan could answer, Chen Feng quickly denied, "No. It's just a form of address."
Jin Xinyan knew Wu ngting was Chen Feng's sworn sister, perhaps even his potential girlfriend. Hearing his denial, she felt a bit upset but still maintained a smiling face as she nodded, "Yes, I'm just his personal assistant, handling so of his private affairs. In the future, if you need his help, feel free to tell directly; I can help when possible. Bro, right?"
Chen Feng nodded, "Mm. Xinyan is my personal assistant. If you need anything in the future, you can contact her for help, no need to be formal. Of course, you can also contact ."
"Okay. In the future, I hope Miss Jin can help out," Lin Yujiao politely said.
"No need to be so formal. You're a friend of my bro, so you're my friend. His matters are my matters; I'll surely help out."
Chen Feng imdiately said, "Just as Yu Jiao is eager to open her store but unfamiliar with the area, help her with the preparations over the next few days, like stocking, displaying rchandise, and hiring staff."
Jin Xinyan paused for a mont; even though she was reluctant, she nodded in agreent, "Sure, I know the area better than Sister Yujiao as a local."
"Then I must trouble you," Lin Yujiao said gratefully.
"You're welco. As I've said, my bro's matters are my matters," Jin Xinyan replied, still smiling.
Lin Yujiao wouldn't be deceived by her enthusiastic attitude, especially since her words had an underlying aning Lin Yujiao noticed. She sighed internally but didn't show it outwardly.
"Alright. You guys chat; I have sothing to attend to and will leave first. Xinyan, accompany her on my behalf and assist if she needs anything. Yu Jiao, co to Red Villa Bay for dinner tonight."
