Chapter 100: Need a Haunted House
Lin Mu and I were discussing Mr. Li's matter and didn't notice anyone coming in.
When I got tired and turned around, I found Mr. Li standing behind us.
Because the sun was a little strong at the time, we all had our backs to the door to bask in the sun and our faces to the store to chat.
When I saw Mr. Li, I felt a little embarrassed.
"I'm sorry to interrupt your conversation."
Before I had the chance to say a word to Mr. Li, he apologized to us first.
This made both Lin Mu and I very embarrassed.
"What's wrong, Mr. Li? Did you miss something?" Lin Mu stood up and rubbed his hands uneasily.
Mr. Li shook his head and turned his gaze to me: "Are you Wen Jie?"
I was stunned. How did he know my name?
"Is it Wen Jie who does the Yin-Yang business?" He was a little unsure.
When you hear him say this, you probably know.
Since my cousin and I came to the north, we have been helping people clean their houses here. After friends introduced us, many people came to us to clean their houses.
He must have been introduced by a friend.
"I'm Wen Jie, what can I do for you?"
In fact, even if he didn't say it, I could probably guess it.
I guess it’s what Lin Mu just told me. He wants to find a haunted house.
"I want to find a haunted house, preferably a shop, and I want two floors. I want to use the lower floor as a shop for funerals, selling paper money and coffins, and I want to live upstairs."
As he spoke, he pulled his sleeves up.
Perhaps because it was a little hot under the sun, his head was covered in sweat.
I welcomed him into the house and let him sit in a shady place.
He then brought him some tea and sat down to chat with him.
"We have plenty of shops, and the two-story building you're looking for isn't hard to find either. But why does it have to be a haunted house?" I asked.
I asked him in the capacity of an agency, and also told him that the landlord must know these details, but in fact, I was the one who wanted to know these details.
"To be honest, my Yang energy is too strong. I have encountered many problems in my life. My family has always been in the business of burial sacrifices. My Yang energy and fate will affect our family business. So I saw an expert and asked him to help me change my fate. But the expert said that my fate is too strong and there is no way to change it. The only way to buffer it is to live in a haunted house, so that the Yin energy can enter my body and neutralize the Yang energy in my body."
I had a whole black question mark face.
What is going on here?
But later I thought about it and realized that no matter what Mr. Li said, it didn’t matter to me. All I had to do was make money.
I spent 100,000 yuan to buy the Soul-Restoring Pearl before, and today I spent another 50,000 yuan to find Zhao Dongfang.
My money didn't come from the wind, so I have to earn it back no matter what.
Ever since my grandma passed away, I always feel insecure without money.
So now that I have a business, I have to help as much as I can.
"Please leave your cell phone number, or add me on the dating app, and I'll keep an eye out for you in the next few days, or ask my friends to see if I can find one that satisfies you. I'll notify you to come and have a look then. Is that okay with you?" I said as I took out my cell phone.
Mr. Li was a little surprised; he didn't expect me to help.
Judging from what he said, he must have run into problems in many intermediary companies before.
It would be great if I could help Mr. Li find a store. Knowing that I was willing to help, Mr. Li thanked me repeatedly.
"How do you charge the agency fee?"
After discussing some common issues, Mr. Li took the initiative to mention the cost.
"Usually it's half of the rent, it depends on how much your shop charges." I won't charge him more, after all, this customer can bring me more customers, so I will still do this small business.
Mr. Li smiled and shook his head: "It doesn't matter. I will give you a brokerage fee equal to one month's rent for the shop. Just help me find it. I'm willing to pay any amount."
When I heard that, I immediately perked up. That couldn't be better.
I have been losing a lot of money recently, and getting an agency fee that is enough to cover one month’s shop rent is a huge sum of money for me.
After all, renting a shop is different from renting a house, and the cost is relatively higher.
"Okay, I'll try my best to help you. You can go back and wait for my news."
After seeing Mr. Li off, I started making phone calls everywhere.
In the end, the call was made to Young Master Chen.
"What's wrong Wen Jie?"
Young Master Chen's voice sounded a little slow. She spoke very quickly, and there were many people talking around her, so it sounded more like a meeting.
"Didn't my cousin help you deal with the store problems? How is that store now?" I asked.
Since he is so busy, I don't want to beat around the bush with him.
"I really don't know, but I guess it's not that easy to deal with. You also know that the store is originally in the alley, and it has a heavy yin energy. Besides, wasn't it lent out to Brother Zhang to store his coffin? I heard from my men that when they went to get the keys, they always felt that the store was filled with gloomy winds, and it seemed to be worse than before."
When it comes to the problems of this store, Young Master Chen is still a little anxious.
Although he didn't invest much, the shop has been left empty there. To him, that investment was like throwing it into the sea, and there was no way he could get the money back.
"Okay, if my cousin can't handle it, I'll try to rent it out for you. What do you think?" I asked again.
Young Master Chen sounded a little excited: "It would be best if you could rent it out. I'll leave it to you. Talk to your cousin and see how it goes."
With his permission, I don't have to worry.
It’s getting late, so I plan to go home and have dinner first.
After closing the door of the agency, I walked home.
When I was crossing the road, I heard a horn. When I looked back, I found it was my cousin's car.
Dong Jing was sitting in the car, and they all looked a little tired.
"What's going on?" I sat in the passenger seat and asked with concern.
"Don't mention it. There's nothing in that shop. We searched it carefully inside and out. Maybe it's because we were so unlucky. We can't do this job. We lost all our money."
My cousin sighed and seemed helpless.
"I just reported this to Master Chen. Luckily he said that we would still get the money. Otherwise, we would have lost both the wife and the army in the past two days."
I was overjoyed when I heard that!
Our whole family made money from this business.
Not only did my cousin get the house-cleaning fee from Young Master Chen, but I could also get a cut from it!
