My Nightclub Landlady Chapter 169

Nightclubs had specific needs they couldn't afford to skimp on . For example, plenty of s.p.a.ce and location . Small restaurants could be built out of roadside stops or large stalls . However, for a nightclub to attract young people, it must be of high grade in all aspects, large, and well located . The decoration should be dazzling, and the events should be attractive . Otherwise the young people might as well go spend their money on KTV .

"Well, let's just try?" Sister Flower plucked up her courage and said, "Since you are so confident, I have no reason not to follow you . Not to mention that the money is yours so you have the right to decide . "

"No, you're still managing this . I'm just an investor . I get half of the profit . ” Qin Feng laughed .

"Half? What?! I'm just managing . Give me 5% at most . " Sister Flower laughed . "Let's discuss this later . First, let's find the landlord to talk . Perhaps we can get the rent lowered . "

"Well, I think we can . n.o.body dares to rent this place but us . $500,000 a year is cheap, but I'm confident that we can get it to $300,000 with an increase every three years," Qin Feng said .

"Hha, you're a real capitalist . You won't give them enough to live on . "

"If the house is empty for a year, he won't be able to rent it for a dime . If we have a flourishing business and $300,000 rent, he's got a guaranteed income, right?"

"Well, that's true . "

Sister Flower began dialing the landlord's number .

Qin Feng, smoking and playing on his phone, listened to Sister Flower's side of the conversation . Soon, the landlord promised to come meet them .

After hanging up the phone, Sister Flower looked suspicious at Qin Feng . "The voice on the phone was somewhat familiar, as if I've heard it somewhere before . "

"Not an acquaintance, is he? What's the last name?" Qin Feng flicked the cigarette b.u.t.t as he asked .

"This house has been idle for so many years, and there are many people who know it, so it should be easy to inquire about the landlord . Why don't I ask around?" said Sister Flower .

"Don't ask . I'll rent this house . The less people who know about it, the better . If you ask and let others know what we want to do, they might want to compete with us for this house . Then the landlord will raise the price . Not to mention that we're already going to have a struggle trying to lower the current price . "

Qin Feng's phone rang suddenly .

"h.e.l.lo . "

A stranger's number . On the other end, a voice said, "Qin Feng? It's Li Faxian from the police station . "

Qin Feng remembered . This was the guy who had knelt to him, Jia Quan's own brother and the director of the city police station .

"Oh, oh . It's you . What happened?" Qin Feng was a little surprised .

"Are you looking for a house?" Li Faxian said . "The Sunshine Hotel bulding is mine . My brother just called me and said someone was asking about it . It seems you're the man making the inquiry . "

"The news reached you so soon? You don't have anyone watching me, do you?"

Qin Feng looked around . He should have realized that his every move in the Tianhe was likely closely monitored by Jia Quan .

"No, no . The house could not be rented out, so I was too lazy to manage it . I handed it over to my brother . When Sister Flower called, I saw that her WeChat ID was of the Free Man Bar . I figured you two were always together, so I called you," Li Faxian said seriously, "Qin Feng, you want to use that house . If you open your mouth and give a price, we will rent it . "

"That's no good . How can I do that? I can't take advantage of you," Qin Feng said . "Your investment information says the rent is $500,000 a year and this price is really not expensive . But you also know the house has been idle for so long, so many people dare not touch it . It is also risky for me to touch it . How about the rent being $300,000 for the first year? Let's sign a little longer . If I do well, you'll also benefit, and if we're able to make a good profit, $1 million rent in the future won't be too high for us . "

"Well, that's fine," Li Faxian said and laughed . "It really doesn't matter . The house has been idle for so long . If I delay a year, I'll lose a year's money . I would like to rent the house at a low price first to get the house's popularity up . The location is there . As long as it loses some of its bad reputation, the rent will definitely double . However, it is not the time to raise the rent . It's been difficult to do business the past two years . With such a large place, without $5 or $6 million cash in hand, I don't dare to think about how that'll go at all . "

"That's reasonable . I didn't expect you to be very sensible," Qin Feng said . "Since we are acquaintances, let's discuss this directly . When we sign a contract, we'll set things down in writing . I have to go inspect the house and get to planning early design and decoration for the s.p.a.ce . "

"I also asked my brother to contact you . In this case, a public official like me can't easily come forward . He's still the landlord, and I don't care about anything that he's handling . I hope he understands that the situation is tight now . "

Li Faxian continued . "You can rest a.s.sured that I'll make the pricing situation clear to him . You can contact me directly if you have anything to discuss . I'd like to take the liberty of asking, what are you going to do with this house?"

"A bar, a regular bar," Qin Feng said . "Please take care of the business when the time comes . We will not allow illegal activities . Whenever you raid, you can come . It doesn't matter . You don't have to worry about it . I promise to do business seriously and not do anything wrong . "

"I believe that . As for my brother, I can't say," Li Faxian anxiously said . "I have a meeting here, so let's talk later . I'll ask my brother to write back to you . "

Hanging up the phone, Qin Feng smiled . "Done . $300,000 rent . "

"Hha, it was Li Faxian! I knew the voice sounded familiar!" Sister Flower laughed and said, “He was beaten by you and knelt to you and now he gives you such a low price on rent? He must still hate you in his heart, but again this powerful man is kneeling to you? I don't understand…”

“Well, what do you think it's about? If he wants to cause trouble, there can only be one end . Like Ji Dongchen, he'd be beaten and pay an even greater price . Remember how I got the money for this operation in the first place . ” Qin Feng laughed loudly .

"Oh, you . Sometimes you are too conceited!" Sister Flower sighed . “However, we are lucky to be able to rent this building for such low rent . Who would have expected Li Faxian to own such a large property? And he hasn't even been able to rent this . Surely he could sell the property for commercial housing and make at least $30 million?”

"I don't doubt it," Qin Feng said . “You know how strong the officials are . This is just the tip of the iceberg . Think about what Jia Quan could cause to happen if he tried . I don't want to think about it . ”

"Yes . It's scary to think about…" Sister Flower said . “We could work hard for a year and find that what we've made isn't enough to pay what he wants from us . ”

“Well, we just have to trust that he'll be fair . If he really wants to cheat us, there's nothing we can do to control it right now . ”

“I'm sure you're right… Well, should we find a place to celebrate anyway? It's noon! I'm so hungry!” Sister Flower changed the subject .

Qin Feng said, "How about we go to Roast Power? It's that new live music and barbecue bar . I've heard it's quite special . "

"Yes, I've been dying to go!" cried Sister Flower as she threw an arm around Qin Feng's shoulder . “Although it seems more of a place for lovers to go . If we go together, do you think we'll be confused for a couple?”

Sister Flower was waiting for Qin Feng to play along, but instead he said, “We're both clear on our relationship, and it's fine for brother and sister to go there . It's not like if we're not a couple, the boss won't let us in! I have money I'm ready to spend . ”

Sister Flower stared at Qin Feng as he got into the car . She really wasn't expecting such a serious response .

These days, they were almost inseparable and did everything together . Sister Flower had become accustomed to this life . It gave her a feeling of being in harmony with the rest of the world . She cooked food at home, drank wine, chatted and watched TV before going back to sleep . The two of them regularly went out to look at property during the day, followed by having a meal at a restaurant . Qin Feng would patiently accompany her to go shopping, buy clothes, get manicures, and more . Sister Flower would accompany Qin Feng to watch his favorite movies and go to bookstores for the whole afternoon . Their life was very rich .

Sister Flower thought Qin Feng also enjoyed their relationship, but she had not taken the initiative to mention it . She was still a bit shy in this regard . Qin Feng didn't seem to want to move their relationship farther though, which made Sister Flower depressed .

Sister Flower drove in silence as Qin Feng played games on his phone . She really wanted to throw away his phone and grab his collar while asking, "What the h.e.l.l are you doing with me?"

Were they friends? Lovers? Business partners? Sister and brother? Playmates?

Sister Flower did not have the habit of taking unnecessary pains to study insignificant problems . However, when she had a real problem, her impulse was to solve it rather than to wait . She had had enough of this situation .

Although Qin Feng did not behave unusually, she couldn't figure him out . They lived under the same roof, and every day, Sister Flower would walk around the house in s.e.xy and tight clothing, and would often invite Qin Feng to drink alcohol with her . Every lonely night, Qin Feng had the opportunity to take action . And yet, he never did .

It was a scene she had imagined so many times in her heart . Qin Feng would come into her room as she laid on her bed and then lean over to place his lips on hers…

Perhaps she was so excited by her imagination that she thought she was being more obvious than she was .

Truthfully, what she really wanted was an anchor . She didn't want to float any longer but rather she wanted to find a safe harbor, a home, and settle down .

Over the years, it was really not easy for her . She was lonely in her heart . She longed to find someone who could understand her, love her, take care of her, and be considerate of her feelings . The appearance of Qin Feng made Sister Flower feel hope for a time . They seemed to have such an understanding of each other . Sister Flower felt excitement and expectation every day, and had thought Qin Feng would have grasped onto their connection and tried to take it to the next level . She had honestly believed they would naturally be together, but after hearing Qin Feng quietly close the door of the second bedroom at night, she was very lost . She had hoped that Qin Feng would come to her room after the lights were out . Even if nothing happened between them, they could simply hold each other .

But no, he never did .

As they approached Roast Power, Qin Feng laughed at its retro exterior, saying, “Look at this style! The young people must love coming to such a pa.s.sionate and free place . ”

Sister Flower did not respond to him and coldly walked ahead .

Qin Feng didn't notice . When they walked in, he found a host and asked to be seated in the small bungalow that was decorated like a pirate ship . Their bungalow was composed of five connected rooms with part.i.tions between them . Each compartment looked like a ship cabin and held vintage utensils and cooking supplies such as charcoal and a grill for them to cook for themselves .

Soon their food arrived . Qin Feng went to the self-help area to grab wine for them . As he was walking back, he saw Jia Dapeng walking in with a beautiful girl .

Chapter 169 Thoughts in Mind. After listening to Qin Feng, Sister Flower was moved . She knew in her heart that if she could really break the curse, she would indeed be able to take a lot of detours . Moreover, the $5 million in their hands wouldn't go far if they rented somewhere else . Nightclubs had specific needs they couldn't afford to skimp on . For example, plenty of s.p.a.ce and location . Small restaurants could be built out of roadside stops or large stalls . However, for a nightclub to attract young people, it must be of high grade in all aspects, large, and well located .
