The rent collector became stronger, and he took in a young, energetic woman every day.

Chapter 45: Taking a young, spirited girl to a restaurant, we bump into Lin Wan! Time to show off!

The man couldn't argue with so many people, and the expression on his face changed from composure to helplessness, and from helplessness to wavering.

"Oh my, you young ladies are quite the talkers."

He scratched the back of his head and looked at Chen Mo with a wry smile.

"Boss Chen, where did you recruit these employees? They're really good at bargaining."

Chen Mo shrugged and smiled without saying a word.

He stood to the side without saying a word, just watching the girls haggle back and forth with Uncle Li.

Finally, the man sighed and waved his hand.

"Okay, okay, I'm scared of you. Five hundred less a month, twenty-eight thousand a year. That's the lowest I can go, or my husband will kill me when I get home."

Xiao Lu and Xiao Rou exchanged a glance, Coco winked at Chen Mo, and the corners of all three of them smiled at the same time.

They turned to look at Chen Mo, their faces practically screaming "Praise is needed!", like three little dogs who had just retrieved their frisbees and were waiting for a compliment.

Chen Mo smiled and nodded.

"Okay, let's settle on that then."

He took out a pre-printed rental contract from his pocket, two copies, changed the rent amount to 28,000, and handed it to the man.

The man took the contract and glanced at it. Seeing how readily Chen Mo agreed, he no longer felt bad about the 500 yuan and readily signed and pressed his fingerprint on the contract.

Chen Mo transferred a year's rent to him, 28,000 yuan, via mobile phone, and the money arrived in less than ten seconds.

The man glanced at the payment notification, his smile becoming much more genuine. He took the key off the key ring and handed it to Chen Mo.

"Mr. Chen, it's been a pleasure doing business with you. I wish your flower shop great success!"

"Thank you, Uncle Li."

Chen Mo took the keys and shook his hand.

The man exchanged a few more pleasantries before pushing his electric scooter away.

Chen Mo shook the key in his hand, and the metal made a crisp sound as it clashed.

Sunlight streamed down from above, illuminating the brand-new keys and reflecting shimmering golden light.

He turned around, looked at the several bright-eyed girls in front of him, and a slight smile appeared on his lips.

"Alright, this will be our shop from now on."

The girls were silent for a moment, looked at each other, and then cheered at the same time.

They never imagined that in just a few days of knowing Brother Mo, they would not only have a place to stay that shelters them from the wind and rain, but also a job that they could work hard for.

Moreover, they found this store together and negotiated the price together; every word and every number is etched in their memories.

This sense of accomplishment and satisfaction made them ecstatic, beyond words!

What they lacked most was recognition, and now Chen Mo's recognition made them feel that their lives had not been in vain.

The girls looked at Chen Mo with even more admiration and love.

Chen Mo certainly felt the girls' adoration for him.

He smiled, his tone gentle.

"I'll find a renovation company later and have them do the renovations. You can also discuss any renovation ideas you have with the company."

The girls' eyes shone even brighter.

"Brother Mo, you're so kind."

"Long live Brother Mo!"

"Brother Mo, I'm loving you more and more!"

"Brother Mo, I want to have your babies!"

The six people surrounded Chen Mo, expressing their gratitude, which attracted the attention of passersby on the street.

This made Chen Mo's old face blush slightly.

It's one thing to do this at home, but it's happening on the street outside. What kind of behavior would it be if others saw this?

He gently pushed away the girls clinging to him and coughed lightly.

"Alright, alright, let's talk about these compliments when we get home. Let's go find a renovation company and GG Design Company first, and try to open within a month."

The girls exchanged glances and nodded in unison, "Okay—!"

Chen Mo looked at their fluttering skirts and bright smiles, shook his head and smiled.

Things went smoothly from then on.

Decoration and design companies are easy to find and are very professional. As long as you have the money, everything will be fine.

The girls also actively and thoughtfully offered their ideas to the interior design company.

By the time all of this was done, it was already evening.

Chen Mo walked out of the store, stretched, and felt very hungry. His stomach was empty and made a rumbling sound.

He's been busy ever since he ate that little bit of fried egg and toast this morning, and hasn't even had time for lunch.

But when his gaze swept over the girls around him, he noticed that they still seemed to be enjoying themselves, their faces flushed with excitement, their eyes bright, and their steps light, as if they didn't feel hungry at all.

Chen Mo asked, somewhat surprised.

Aren't you hungry?

All six girls shook their heads at the same time.

Coco chuckled, her tone relaxed.

"Brother Mo, we've long been used to skipping dinner. We used to do that all the time when we were broke."

The little deer nodded in agreement, her twin ponytails swaying behind her head.

"Yes, eating one meal a day is normal, two meals a day is a luxury, and three meals a day is like celebrating the New Year."

The other girls nodded in agreement when they heard this.

Looking at their young faces, Chen Mo felt a strange sensation welling up inside him.

He took a deep breath, suppressed the feeling, and smiled.

"Once the shop opens, I'll pay you wages, and you won't go hungry anymore."

The girls were stunned.

Then, their eyes turned a little red.

Chen Mo's simple words shattered the softest spot in their hearts, almost making them cry.

Coco was the first to speak, her voice a little hoarse, with a slight tremor at the end.

"Brother Mo, thank you."

Chen Mo smiled casually.

"I'm not giving you money for nothing; you have to work hard."

The girls nodded quickly.

"Don't worry, Brother Mo! I will definitely work hard and diligently! I absolutely won't slack off!"

"Me too! Me too! Brother Mo, I'll do whatever you tell me to do, no questions asked!"

"Brother Mo, I promise. I will study hard and won't let you down."

The six girls stood in a row, their eyes resolute, each raising a hand as if making a vow to Chen Mo.

Chen Mo smiled and nodded.

"Okay, let's go eat then."

He turned and walked out of the pedestrian street, the girls following behind him like a string of candied hawthorns, their footsteps and laughter mingling and drifting into the night.

Chen Mo was too lazy to go too far, and he was really hungry, so he found a restaurant near the pedestrian street that looked fairly clean.

The waiter immediately stood up to greet the newcomer.

Chen Mo stood in front of the counter ordering food.

The girls went to the restaurant's restroom to wash their hands, then walked through the lobby and turned into the corridor.

Chen Mo had chosen his dishes and turned around to go to his seat.

As soon as he turned around, his gaze stopped.

A man and a woman walked into the restaurant through the entrance.

The woman was facing him, wearing a beige dress, with long hair draped over her shoulders, and wearing makeup; her features were delicate.

It's Lin Wan.

The man next to her looked to be in his thirties, wearing a dark blue polo shirt with the collar loose, revealing a large gold chain.

With sparse hair, oily skin, and a large belly that stretched his polo shirt too tight, Chen Mo estimated that he weighed at least 160 pounds.

At that moment, Lin Wan also looked up and saw Chen Mo, and was slightly taken aback.
