Chapter 17: Taking Over the Steamed Bun Shop, Jiang Sifan Takes on Another Part-Time Job
"Boss, give me a steamer of xiaolongbao."
"Okay." The owner, a middle-aged man in his 30s, quickly began packing the steamed buns after Lu Fan ordered a basket of them.
Lu Fan then asked, "Boss, your shop must be doing pretty well, right?"
"It's alright. There used to be quite a lot of people here, but now there are fewer," the owner said cheerfully. "Anyway, it's busier when there are more people, and less busy when there aren't many."
"If I wanted to take over your shop, how much would you be willing to pay?" Lu Fan asked.
The shop owner was taken aback: "Huh? You want to take over my shop?"
"Yes." Lu Fan nodded.
"This..." The shop owner was surprised that someone would take over his shop, and he hadn't even considered the price.
He gave an awkward laugh: "I spent tens of thousands on renovations before. Although this steamed bun business isn't particularly profitable, it's enough to support my family, so..."
The boss originally wanted to politely refuse Lu Fan.
But Lu Fan said directly, "Three hundred thousand, I guarantee you won't lose money, and you'll actually make a lot."
"What?!" The boss's eyes widened. He asked in surprise, "You mean you want to spend 300,000 to take over my shop?"
"Um."
The shop owner stammered, "But... my steamed bun shop is just a small business, and you're spending 300,000 yuan?"
"Boss, don't worry about that. I'm just bored and have taken a liking to your shop. I was thinking of opening a steamed bun shop for fun," Lu Fan explained.
When the boss heard these words, he realized that Lu Fan was actually quite wealthy.
In fact, Lu Fan was too lazy to haggle with him.
As long as he is offered a price that is irresistible and cannot be refused, whether it is 20 or 30 is just a number to Lu Fan.
The boss immediately chuckled: "Okay, okay, it's settled then."
"I'll have someone come over to sign the contract with you later. Leave your bank account number, and I'll transfer the money over there shortly."
"No problem, no problem, thank you boss."
In just over ten minutes, Lu Fan took over a steamed bun shop.
He didn't care how much money the steamed bun shop could make; his main goal was to get closer to Jiang Yixia.
Based on the location of this shop, you can see everything inside the flower shop just by looking up.
Just based on this location alone, spending 300,000 is worth it.
After Lu Fan left, he immediately asked his assistant, Jiali, to handle the contract issues for the steamed bun shop.
Before leaving, he glanced at Jiang Yixia's flower shop and said with a smile, "Tomorrow we'll be neighbors across the hall."
After saying that, he got into his car and drove to the parking lot for the private jet.
......
night.
After dinner, Jiang Sifan took a bus to an upscale residential area.
Based on the apartment building information on WeChat, he arrived at the door of a certain apartment and pressed the doorbell.
Two days ago, he left his information on a website that advertises tutors.
Soon, Jiang Sifan received a message from a parent.
After a brief chat, I learned that the parents had a daughter who was in her final year of high school.
His math score was extremely poor; he only scored 13 out of a possible 150.
Jiang Sifan was completely bewildered upon hearing the results.
You only got 13 points in the first semester of your senior year of high school. Even if you threw the answer sheet on the ground and stomped on it twice, you would have gotten more than 13 points.
But in order to ease her mother's burden and save money for a laptop, Huang Hui also wanted to get an iPhone.
Jiang Sifan had no choice but to agree to go for the job interview.
When he pressed the doorbell, the door opened quickly.
A middle-aged woman opened the door.
Although her face shows some signs of aging, she has maintained a great figure and demeanor.
They look like a wealthy family.
She looked at Jiang Sifan and asked, "You're Sifan, right? The college student applying for a tutoring job?"
"Hello, Auntie, I'm Jiang Sifan." Jiang Sifan greeted her politely.
"Hello, hello, please come in." The middle-aged woman immediately made a welcoming gesture.
Jiang Sifan walked into the room and looked around.
I discovered that the home of the student I was to teach was very large, estimated to be over 150 square meters.
In Nanjing's urban area, where land is incredibly valuable, this would be worth millions.
Seeing this, Jiang Sifan recalled the house she lived in with her mother and sister when she was in school.
Although my mother kept the house very tidy, the space was quite different from the environment I was in.
Jiang Sifan did not feel disappointed; instead, she gained confidence.
That means I must study hard and work hard to earn money after graduation.
Buy a bigger house for Mom and my sister.
He wasn't afraid of hardship, but he was afraid that his mother and sister would suffer.
Of course, he was also afraid that Huang Hui would be wronged, after all, she was the only one who had ever cared about him at school.
Thinking about this, Jiang Sifan felt that she must perform well and try her best to get this tutoring job.
"Hello, Sifan. You can just call me Aunt Zhang. Let me tell you about my daughter's situation first. She is extremely opposed to math. She has been bad at math since junior high school. She doesn't even know the Pythagorean theorem."
"Although I am also a university graduate, I really don't know how to teach anymore. Plus, I've forgotten a lot of the high school material, so I'm asking you, Teacher Jiang, for help," Aunt Zhang explained.
Jiang Sifan nodded: "Okay, Aunt Zhang, don't worry. I scored 137 in math on the college entrance exam. Math is one of my strengths."
"I don't expect her to score 120 or 130, that's unrealistic. I'd be happy if she could get 50 or 60 on the final exam, and then work hard so she can get over 80 on the college entrance exam. That would be a great honor for the family." Aunt Zhang said cautiously, "She's still quite resistant to tutoring right now, so please communicate with me as soon as possible."
"it is good."
Aunt Zhang then called out towards a room, "Lingyi, come out quickly, the tutor your mother hired for you has arrived."
A woman's voice came from inside the room: "I don't want a tutor, I don't want to learn math, I can't understand it, don't waste money."
Judging from her tone, Jiang Sifan could tell that the girl had truly given up on mathematics.
Sometimes, that's just how math is.
Even if you study hard and keep studying, you still can't do the problems.
Until one day, when you suddenly understand all the logic and your brain works smoothly, you'll realize that math is actually quite simple.
So he went to the girl's room, knocked on the door, and said, "Hello, classmate, how about this? I'll give you a lesson first, and you can see if you learn anything. If not, you can talk to your mother about it. Is that okay?"
After a few seconds of silence, the door was finally unlocked.
The girl, who had been sullen and speechless, brightened up slightly when she looked up and saw Jiang Sifan.
She immediately took a step back, blushing slightly, and said, "Then I'll trouble you, teacher."
"No trouble at all." With that, Jiang Sifan went inside.
Aunt Zhang, who was standing nearby, seemed to have anticipated this scene.
Known daughter Moruomu.
The reason she chose Jiang Sifan as her tutor was not only because he scored 137 in the college entrance examination mathematics, but also because she thought he was quite handsome when she saw his photo.
Aunt Zhang knew that her daughter had a particular characteristic.
I like handsome guys.
She takes after that.
