Start with an antique shop and become rich overnight

Chapter 28: Opening a Store in Beijing

The uncle started to play the good guy, "We are still eating, why are you saying these things?"

He is the elder, and it would not sound good to ask the younger generation for money, so he has to make his attitude clear.

My cousin's wife said aggrievedly, "It's not that I have no choice, it's all for the children of our Shen family. My husband and I only have a small amount of money a month. After paying off the loan, there will be nothing left."

Shen You looked at their tentative eyes and sneered in her heart, but her face still showed a positive expression.
"Of course I'm willing to help. We are all family."

The other four people at the table were all very satisfied with what he said.

My cousin's wife nodded with a smile, agreeing that family members should help each other, and praised Shen You for his promising future.

"Sister, let's agree to pay a higher down payment so that we can have less stress every month. We still need more than 100,000 yuan."

Shen You sighed, "The store received a sum of money some time ago, but it was used for renovations right away. I'm still worried about the final payment."

The smiles on my cousin's family's faces froze, and they looked as if they had eaten a fly.

The harmonious laughter and praise just now suddenly became quiet.

"Can your shop's house be mortgaged?" My cousin's wife exchanged glances with the family and continued,
"Don't worry, we will pay the interest and will definitely pay it back when due."

Shen You really didn't expect that they were still thinking about this.

They talk a lot about family affection, but what they really do is to burn others and light up themselves.

He took advantage of her parents and wanted to suck her blood.

She didn't know what to do with relatives like this.

"Cousin, what you mean is that I should mortgage my shop to you so that you can buy a house?" Shen You looked at them with amusement, "Why not let me buy one myself?"

"What house do you need as a girl? When you get married, won't the man's family have a house?" My cousin slammed the table in anger and scolded me.

"So I should let you suck my marrow out of my bones?" Shen You raised his voice.

"You're treating me like a fool and using this kind of rhetoric to PUA me. What's wrong with being a girl? Just because you're a girl, you're supposed to want my things?"

"Whether I buy a house in the future is none of your business. I didn't ask you to borrow money to buy it. Why are you in such a hurry? Are you afraid that I will spend the money myself and have no money for you?"

She had long lost interest in these people, and there was no reason to indulge them.

The cousin was hit on the heart of the matter and couldn't find any reason to refute. His defense was broken and he spoke even more harshly, trying to intimidate Shen You with his voice.

Shen You was not intimidated at all and said, "How about I rent the speakers on the platform in the hall and we can stand on them and talk louder. Waiter——"

I saw Shen Youzhen called the waiter in and asked how to calculate the cost of using the equipment on the table.

The uncle hurriedly stopped them, sternly gave them fifty lashes each to put the matter behind them, and waited until the waiter went out and closed the door before saying,
"We are all family, it's not shameful to make trouble outside!"

Shen You doesn't care.

It was my cousin who was able to get a job in a good company thanks to my uncle's connections. Although he was a temporary worker, it was not easy to get in. Working there is a respectable thing and they cannot afford to lose face like this.

In fact, my uncle’s family is not really short of hundreds of thousands of dollars.

My cousin's wife and cousin love to play mahjong. Usually, my cousin's wife just throws the child at her house, regardless of whether her mother is willing to take care of her. She then turns around and takes a taxi to the card table. Sometimes she loses thousands of dollars.

"My uncle still has land in the county town, and you guys also have cars, both can be mortgaged."

Shen You took out a business card from her bag.
"I have a classmate who works in a bank. You can call him for advice. I can't help you with anything else."

My cousin and his wife's faces turned dark when they saw the business card on the table. If they were willing to pawn their own things, they would have done it long ago. Why would they need this girl to find someone?

My cousin snorted coldly, "No need, my father has connections in the bank in the county."

Shen You nodded and said with a smile, "That's good."

It seemed as if the argument just now was really just a quarrel among the ignorant youngsters as described by uncle and aunt.

It was just that when no one was watching, Shen You synced the recording to the cloud disk. She didn't plan to send it to her parents now. It was not easy to cut off ties with relatives who she had cared about for decades.

After they had almost finished eating, Shen You went to pay the bill, went to the parking lot with them, drove his own car over and moved the food into the trunk.

After saying a few free polite words, he got in the driving seat, stepped on the accelerator, and drove very fast.

The four people were left feeling very angry.

"How can she do things like this! Does she still treat us as her family and elders?"

Aunt sat in the car and complained about Shen You's faults.

When relatives come to visit, they are not allowed to enter the house, nor are they arranged to stay in a hotel.
He just said there were many hotels nearby at all price ranges and ran away.

Next time she goes back, I have to ask her parents in person: Did she kick everyone in the family away just because she made some money?
Shen You played an ancient song while driving to relax herself.

The dinner ended in the parking lot and my aunt asked about the hotel.

The tone of her voice made it seem as if she should be the one arranging their food and lodging, and they wouldn't be used to staying in a hotel that was too bad.

A weekend with two nights would cost at least a thousand.

It’s out this time, but next time they come, she will have to take care of it.

It's not like she has money but nowhere to spend it. It would be better for her to spend the money on herself.

Shen You returned home, took a shower, lay on the bed, browsed around the shopping app, and bought two sets of silk cheongsam and silk Hanfu.

I watched two more classic healing anime movies.

It feels so good to live alone, have money and freedom.

The next morning, Shen You packed a portion of rice rolls and slowly placed the order on her mobile phone.

She thought about it and decided that some things, like medicine, could be bought slowly over time.

The more she stockpiled, the more things she had. The store already received deliveries every few days, and the neighbors all knew that she loved online shopping, so a few more boxes were no problem at all.

In fact, among the people Shen You knew, there was one whose family ran a pharmacy, but after much hesitation, he still didn't contact him.

If she bought too much, people would surely become suspicious, and she couldn't risk her business.

Shen You glanced at the calendar and calculated that the big client should not have arrived in Beijing yet.

In the afternoon, after cleaning up the counter, she used the coffee machine to make a cup of whipped coconut latte.

[Da Qi] Antique shop is open.

Thinking that today was the first day of business in Beijing, Shen You specially put on a nice set of clothes with Han elements and dressed up.

The system said that the store’s operating value was not enough, and I could only see the scene of Da Qi at the door and could not go in.

Shen You took a look at the bluestone road and the buildings there. It seemed that the capital was well developed.

This place should be empty on ordinary days, it only gets lively during temple fairs.

She was sitting in the store, thinking that there would be no business today. However, she didn't expect that when she was playing games at around 2 o'clock, she heard the familiar voice "A customer has arrived".

Shen You raised his head and looked at the two women who came in.

One is dressed in fancy clothes, the other is relatively plain.

She noticed the hairpin on the other person's head at a glance, and the craftsmanship seemed a bit similar to the antique that Gu Shaoyu had sent her.

"Miss, let's go out. This place looks weird."
