Buy a house with 30,000 yuan and live in a small town

Chapter 555: Everywhere is Just Right
As soon as the curtains were drawn, Liu Wangxue's disappointment was evident: "It's not snowing—"

Not to mention snow, there wasn't even a drop of rain. The buildings and roads in the community were all dry, but the sky was still gloomy.

Xu Qingsong felt the same as Liu Wangxue, and also wanted to accompany her to watch a romantic peach blossom snow. He took her in his arms and went to wash up: "It seems that the weather forecast is not accurate. It's okay, it's the same if we just watch the peach blossoms. I can take beautiful photos of you."

Liu Wangxue hung on him, feeling so depressed that she didn't want to move at all: "I don't want beautiful photos, I want romance, romance with you——"

Xu Qingsong simply lifted her up by her hips, regretting that he had forgotten to make a wish to see the peach blossom snow on the "engagement cake" last night. He only wanted Liu Wangxue to agree to marry him soon. Look, this wish came true immediately, which fully proved that if you make a wish to see the peach blossom snow, it will definitely come true. Oh, how could I forget it!
Xu Qingsong put Liu Wangxue down on the sink and kissed her: "Don't be discouraged."

Liu Wangxue continued to be discouraged. She looked at Xu Qingsong and asked, "Did you make a wish last night?"

Xu Qingsong felt guilty for a moment, but he couldn't admit it. He put the mouthwash cup filled with water in Liu Wangxue's hand, squeezed toothpaste and stuffed a toothbrush into her hand, coaxing her: "I made a wish, and I silently recited it to the cake several times. But the weather is a scientific matter..."

As he spoke, he saw Liu Wangxue's expression and immediately hugged her: "Okay, okay, it's all my fault. I was not sincere. I will recite it a few more times next time, okay?"

Liu Wangxue suddenly laughed: "I was just kidding. Of course I know that the weather is a scientific matter, hahaha..."

Xu Qingsong also laughed and raised his hand to tap her forehead lightly.

Liu Wangxue smiled and started brushing her teeth with the cup in her hand. Seeing Xu Qingsong also holding his toothbrush, she jumped down from the sink and squeezed into his arms. Xu Qingsong then put his arm around her waist, and the two of them clung to each other.

After packing, he took Xu Qingsong's carry-on suitcase and went out. It contained clothes for both of them. They were going to stay overnight at the hot spring resort.

After breakfast, I drove to Hongbin Plaza to see the store that Liang Xi'an helped me find.

Hongbin Plaza is an entire commercial district with a complete range of facilities for eating, drinking and having fun. It has a large passenger flow on weekdays and holidays. Not only do residents like to hang out here during their leisure time, but tourists who come to Beijing to play also come here for a stroll.

Xu Qingsong found a parking spot at the entrance of the pedestrian street. As soon as he parked, Liang Xi'an sent a message, which was a location sharing, saying that he was waiting for them at the door of the store. Xu Qingsong and Liu Wangxue got out of the car and walked over hand in hand.

It is just past ten in the morning, and the shops and shopping malls along the street have just opened for business. Most of the people passing by are office workers in a hurry.

When they were about to reach the intersection in the middle of the pedestrian street, Liu Wangxue saw two young men of the same tall stature looking over here, one wrapped in a long thick down jacket, and the other in a handsome flight jacket.

Xu Qingsong waved at the same time as the person on the opposite side, and Liu Wangxue knew that one of them must be Liang Xi'an. Sure enough, the next second, Xu Qingsong lowered his head and said to her: "The one wearing a down jacket is Liang Xi'an."

Liu Wangxue asked: "What about the one next to him?"

Xu Qingsong shook his head: "I don't know him, he should be his friend."

Liang Xi'an had very good eyesight. He was only a few steps away from the front when he saw the same rings on Liu Wangxue and Xu Qingsong's hands, both of which were worn on their middle fingers. He smiled and came forward and punched Xu Qingsong on the shoulder: "You kid, are you engaged? You didn't even notify me, do you still treat me as a buddy?"

The punch was delivered with some force. Even though Xu Qingsong was wearing thick clothes, he still felt a faint dull pain. He covered his shoulder and pretended to be hit hard: "Why did you fight as soon as we met?"

Liang Xi'an raised his foot and was about to kick him: "Not only did I use my hands, I also used my feet!"

Xu Qingsong took a step back and said with a smile, "You are not engaged yet. I will definitely inform you when I am engaged. I will definitely extort a big red envelope from you no matter what."

Liang Xi'an was half-believing and half-doubting, thinking that the ring was already worn, and then decided to ask Liu Wangxue, who was smiling beside him: "Sister-in-law, did he bully you? Don't worry and tell me, I will make the decision for you."

"What are you yelling about!" Xu Qingsong pulled Liu Wangxue over and said to her, "Don't listen to him, he is a few months younger than me."

Liu Wangxue thought Liang Xi'an was an interesting person. She held Xu Qingsong's hand and shook it towards him, saying with a smile, "They are not engaged yet. This ring means that he is already in a relationship."

Liang Xi'an was relieved and said, "Then this also means that good things are coming, don't forget it when the time comes..."

"Don't worry, I will definitely let you know." Xu Qingsong interrupted him and motioned him to look at the young man in a flight jacket next to him. "Don't talk nonsense for now. You've left him here for so long. Why don't you introduce him? Isn't that polite?"

Without waiting for Liang Xi'an to speak, the young man took the initiative to greet him with a smile, and the gesture of extending his hand to Xu Qingsong unexpectedly fits the word "graceful and graceful", which is too elegant: "Hello, Brother Xu, my name is Mu Lezhang."

Xu Qingsong shook hands with him: "Hello."

After Mu Lezhang greeted Liu Wangxue, Liang Xi'an helped to introduce: "Lezhang had been in Country Y before, and just came back some time ago." He motioned for everyone to walk towards the store together, and said as he walked: "This Hongbin Plaza is his family's property. It's also a coincidence, otherwise such a good location may not be found."

After Liang Xi'an received a call from Xu Qingsong during the Spring Festival, he became very concerned about this matter. In addition to the fact that Xu Qingsong was his buddy and it was rare for him to ask for help, it was also because "Chunjian" was now well-known, and he, who was neither in the Hanfu circle nor in the fashion circle, had heard of it. Helping to find a store was actually helping to reach cooperation.

Liang Xi'an felt it was a pity. His family was in the food industry and only had a factory, no shopping malls or shops. Otherwise, he would have definitely managed to get "Chunjian" to move in.

Liang Xi'an didn't have any, so he called a few friends and went to see them in person, but he never found a suitable one.

Liang Xi'an also studied abroad in Country Y before. He went to the same school as Mu Lezhang for undergraduate studies, and he was two years older than him. The houses they rented happened to be opposite each other, so they met and became friends. Liang Xi'an returned to China after graduating from graduate school, but Mu Lezhang did not return immediately after completing his graduate studies, but stayed in Country Y to work.

Last week, when Mu Lezhang came back from Country Y, Liang Xi'an called a few friends to have a small gathering at his hot spring resort to welcome Mu Lezhang. During the chat, Liang Xi'an mentioned that he was looking for a shop, but he only said that he was entrusted by someone and did not disclose what it was for. Those friends were not clear and felt that the ones provided were good enough, but he was still not satisfied and criticized him for being picky.

After the party, Mu Lezhang privately talked to Liang Xi'an and said, "There is a two-story store at the intersection of the pedestrian street near Hongbin Plaza where I live. What do you think?"

Liang Xi'an was also very familiar with Hongbin Plaza. As soon as Mu Lezhang mentioned it, he could identify it: "Isn't that a clothing store? A foreign brand?"

"Yes," Mu Lezhang said, "I heard from my sister that their sales have been declining in recent years, and their losses have become more serious year by year. Last year was a record low. Their lease is about to expire, but they have not yet made a statement on whether to renew it. I guess they may be closing the store. The two stores in Guangzhou and Shenzhen have already closed."

Liang Xi'an showed a happy expression: "Really?" Mu Lezhang nodded: "Their lease is less than two months away, and there will be definite news at the end of this month at the latest."

Liang Xi'an then revealed to Mu Lezhang what the shop was going to be used for. When Mu Lezhang heard it, he thought, sure enough! He had a hunch that there was a "big fish" behind this! It was true!
Last year, Porcelain and Chunjian co-hosted the Spring/Summer fashion show. Mu Lezhang's mother and sister flew over to watch it. He accompanied them throughout the show and witnessed the event with his own eyes. Later, he spent time to learn more about the brand "Chunjian" and also thought about inviting "Chunjian" to open in Hongbin Plaza, the first offline store in Beijing. He sent an email but never received a reply.

Mu Lezhang really felt like he had gotten a great bargain. As soon as the news of the store closure was confirmed, he immediately informed Liang Xi'an, who then notified Xu Qingsong.

Mu Lezhang originally thought that he could meet Wenxi today, and thought that he had to negotiate this cooperation no matter what. However, he found out that Wenxi was too busy and couldn't come for the time being, and it was her good friend Liu Wangxue who came. He was quite disappointed.

Mu Lezhang paid little attention to domestic entertainment gossip, and rarely watched dramas or played games, so naturally he didn't know who Liu Wangxue and Xu Qingsong were. However, he still knew about the popular "The Twenty-one Cases of Dazhao" and played it. He still had it on his phone because he had never finished it.

Liang Xi'an noticed his disappointment, so he introduced these two to him and said, "Your game has been stuck at that level and can't move. The screenwriter and the main programmer are here, so you can take this opportunity to ask them."

Mu Lezhang would be lying if he said he wasn't surprised. His disappointment was gone immediately. It was the same with friends. Wenxi asked Liu Wangxue to come and look at the store on her behalf, which meant that their relationship must be very good. Maybe Liu Wangxue could represent Wenxi.

After looking at both upstairs and downstairs, Liu Wangxue felt that this area should meet Wenxi's requirements. The two floors added up to nearly 360 square meters, whether it was a booth or sales, there should be enough space. After getting Mu Lezhang's consent, she took a -degree video of the first floor with her mobile phone, and then went outside the store to take external perspectives, and sent them to Wenxi, and also sent a voice message to tell her the area and floor height.

Mu Lezhang really hoped that "Chunjian" could settle in Hongbin Plaza, so he told Liu Wangxue about the preferential conditions he could offer.

Liu Wangxue listened carefully and looked at her phone again. Wenxi didn't reply, so she thanked Mu Lezhang and said, "I will convey all of this to Xixi. She should be busy now. If she thinks it's appropriate after reading it, I'll let her contact you personally, okay?"

"Okay!" Mu Lezhang took out his mobile phone and added Liu Wangxue as a friend. "Mr. Wen, if you have any questions, you can ask me anytime." Then he added Xu Qingsong as a friend, mainly so that he could ask for advice if he had any problems with the game in the future.

Seeing that they had added friends, Liang Xi'an asked Liu Wangxue and Xu Qingsong: "Do you want to hang out here first, or go to the resort now?"

Liu Wangxue didn't want to go shopping and didn't have anything to buy. Xu Qingsong was the same, so they suggested going directly to the resort.

"Okay, we can have lunch there." Liang Xi'an said, "It's close to the mountains, and it's spring now. There are many wild vegetables that taste pretty good. I asked the chef to make some, and we'll have them for lunch."

In this era, wild vegetables are really rare in big cities. Liu Wangxue remembered the shepherd's purse she picked up casually from the fields at her grandmother's house when she was a child, so she asked Liang Xi'an expectantly: "Is there shepherd's purse?"

"Of course!" Liang Xi'an also likes to eat this. "Wild shepherd's purse is the most fragrant. I asked the chef to make dumplings. There are both meat and vegetarian ones. Is that okay?"

That's absolutely great! Liu Wangxue nodded, as if she had already smelled the fragrance of shepherd's purse.

Xu Qingsong didn't know that Liu Wangxue also liked to eat this. He remembered that it usually grew in the vegetable garden in spring. In the past, the second master dug it and sent it to Beijing. It was really delicious. It should be about time. He decided to go to the field when he returned to Taojia Village. He wanted to go dig with her. They should experience all the interesting things together.

Xu Qingsong thought a lot at this moment. There was more than just shepherd's purse. After a while, the locust flowers would bloom. He could pick the flowers and make several kinds of food, all of which tasted good. However, Liu Wangxue should have been in the crew by then, and Xu Qingsong felt a little depressed.

Liang Xi'an and Mu Lezhang's cars were at another intersection, so the four of them went their separate ways and met at the resort.

Liu Wangxue and Xu Qingsong walked hand in hand back to the intersection they came from, and looked back at the logo of the clothing brand.

Xu Qingsong also looked back with her: "What are you looking at?"

"Look at this brand," Liu Wangxue turned back and continued walking forward with him, "It's hard to believe that they have been able to hold on for so many years before closing the store to achieve such a successful business."

Xu Qingsong asked her: "It sounds like you have some insights?"

"I'm familiar with this brand!" Liu Wangxue said, "When I was in college, Wenxi and I, as well as the girls in the dormitory, loved buying it for a while. It's a fast-fashion women's clothing brand from abroad. It's good quality and cheap, and it's very popular among students."

Xu Qingsong didn't know much about women's clothing. When he was touring upstairs and downstairs just now, he also took a few glances at the clothes hanging on the shelves. He didn't understand why the clothes were so good and cheap. "I think the quality is quite average. It's not worth the price he sells it for."

Liu Wangxue felt her hands were a little cold, so she put one hand into her sleeve and put the other into Xu Qingsong's pocket, saying, "It was when I first entered college that the goods were indeed of good quality and low price for a while, but later it was no longer the case."

When she said this, she suddenly remembered something interesting: "Once, Wenxi and I went shopping, and we went in for a stroll. Wenxi saw a tube top at the time. Do you know how she described it?"

"How to describe it?" Xu Qingsong couldn't imagine, because Liu Wangxue didn't provide any descriptive words, but he felt that Designer Wen must be particularly harsh in his words when it comes to things he dislikes.

It was a tube top with a "sense of design". Wenxi was really shocked by its ugliness. Liu Wangxue found that she could even recall Wenxi's contemptuous look at that time. She imitated Wenxi's tone and said, "What is this? A few dried pickled vegetable leaves sewn on a rag? This little bit of fabric can't even cover half of my chest. How can you sell it for 148 yuan? You might as well just buy it!"

That's right, it's what Wenxi could say. Xu Qingsong felt that this description was really vivid, sewing a few dried pickled vegetable leaves on a rag, he already had the picture.

The two laughed together for a while, and Liu Wangxue continued, "That tube top is indeed ugly, but I still felt that she was a bit too critical at the time. She didn't even look at how big her breasts are. That thing is obviously designed for small or flat breasts, okay, hahaha..."

Liu Wangxue smiled and revealed a hint of envy: "Xixi is really born with a good figure. You know, even if she loses weight, her hips and breasts will not be slim. She has always had that hot hourglass figure."

She remembered that her roommate at that time was a girl with a flat figure. Whenever she saw Wenxi changing clothes in the dormitory, she would drool with an expression as if she was about to do so, and was extremely envious.

Xu Qingsong held Liu Wangxue's hand in his pocket, looked down at her expression, and couldn't help but kiss her. He whispered, "Why envy others? You're not bad either. I think everything is just right. I like it very much."

Liu Wangxue's face suddenly turned red. She glanced around and squeezed Xu Qingsong with her hand in her pocket: "Watch your words in public!"

Xu Qingsong laughed: "You can't even praise me?"

"It's not impossible," Liu Wangxue coughed, beckoned him to lean over and whispered, "You can save it for bragging in bed."

After listening to her, Xu Qingsong saw her smug expression and thought, if this happened at home, he would definitely hold her down.
