Rebirth: She is Ready for a Counterattack! Chapter 255 - 254: Unexpected Partner

The owner of the bun shop is a warm-hearted person. As soon as he heard about this, he quickly found the landlord, and the three parties sat down to talk.

The landlord is not a local from Shanghai, but his parents are from Shanghai. The rent is enough for him to maintain a decent living, given that the annual rent is twelve thousand, which is considered a good life in this era where salaries are just over three hundred.

Therefore, the landlord is not very willing to sell the house.

However, he conceded and said he could sign a five-year contract with Gu Xiaoqing, with the rent remaining the sa for the first two years but increasing by ten percent annually starting from the third year.

This already shows that the landlord is a decent person.

In the end, Gu Xiaoqing had no choice. He couldn’t persuade the landlord to sell the house, so he opted to rent it.

He planned to think about buying a house later. After all, within five years, this place is likely to be demolished. These old houses are not viable, and by then, he might have better prospects and decide whether to stay here.

This is also a solution.

Gu Xiaoqing agreed with a nod.

So the three parties reached an agreent, and Gu Xiaoqing signed a five-year contract with the landlord, paying one year’s rent.

He also paid five thousand as a transfer fee to the bun shop owner and his wife.

This was agreed upon beforehand.

Otherwise, there would be many people wanting to take over this shop, given its advantageous location.

Once the house deal was settled, Gu Xiaoqing got busy.

His leisurely student life suddenly had many things to deal with.

Every day, he had to look for a renovation team to build the things he needed according to his designs, and he had to visit various material markets to find what he wanted.

No one could help with these tasks.

At this point, Gu Xiaoqing realized the difficulty of being away from ho alone, with no one to assist him, just solely relying on himself, which was exhausting.

If his family were around, at least soone could help with many things.

Gu Xiaoqing truly missed ho.

The outside world is beautiful, but without anyone to help, it’s lonely. Of course, there are roommates and friends, but they can’t help much.

Because Gu Xiaoqing’s ideas are ant for ten or even twenty years later, those blueprints and versions are mories in his mind, not sothing others can keep up with or understand.

How could he find soone to help him?

So he could only continue working quietly and tirelessly.

After a month, Gu Xiaoqing finally got everything done.

He even managed to source materials from Shenzhen.

The success of this venture should be attributed to soone unexpected, whom you might not have guessed—Guo Donghua.

Guo Donghua’s uncle runs an import-export company in Shenzhen, representing many foreign Hong Kong hotels and food materials. The raw materials for the pearl milk tea were sourced from there.

Although the ingredients and recipes for milk tea are simple, the pearls in pearl milk tea can’t be made by oneself.

Gu Xiaoqing hadn’t expected it would be Guo Donghua who would help.

When Gu Xiaoqing’s decorative designs were seen by Guo Donghua, he was shocked. The avant-garde decoration styles and bold and refreshing signages were quite impressive to him.

So, Guo Donghua involuntary asked Gu Xiaoqing what this was all about.

Gu Xiaoqing didn’t hide it, thinking Guo Donghua wouldn’t know about pearl milk tea. But as soon as she ntioned it, the young lady directly exclaid.

Not only did she know about it, but she had drunk it before.

A few years back, during sumr vacation, Guo Donghua visited Shenzhen and Hong Kong at her uncle’s invitation, where she happened to try the famous Hong Kong stockings pearl milk tea and was totally captivated by its silky and exquisite taste. Now, hearing Gu Xiaoqing planning to open a shop.

How could she not be shocked and surprised?

She even kept giving suggestions and opinions on the taste. During that period, Guo Donghua practically wanted to wear the sa dress as Gu Xiaoqing.

The other roommates were quite surprised. Knowing how much Guo Donghua wasn’t on good terms with Gu Xiaoqing at first.

It wasn’t cold sarcasm every day, or finding ways to irritate Gu Xiaoqing with small talk. If Gu Xiaoqing hadn’t ignored her, they might have fought.

Now, suddenly, they beca so familiar and close, leaving everyone astonished.

It’s really inexplicable.

Guo Donghua didn’t have much hidden intention. She persistently wanted to invest in Gu Xiaoqing’s shop. Initially, Gu Xiaoqing didn’t reveal she owned the shop, but the girl insisted on eting the owner.

For a sip of pearl milk tea, Guo Donghua was relentless in her desire to invest.

Ultimately, Gu Xiaoqing really had no choice. When dealing with those with impure intentions, she could decisively refuse, but against soone as genuine as Guo Donghua, Gu Xiaoqing didn’t know what to say or do.

If this person disliked you, she’d really find everything about you annoying.

But if she liked you, even if Gu Xiaoqing rolled her eyes a hundred tis or stabbed her with a knife, Guo Donghua wouldn’t back down. What could Gu Xiaoqing do?

Guo Donghua is different from He Yan, coming from a knowledgeable family.

With her persistent insistence, Gu Xiaoqing finally agreed.

Having soone to help out wasn’t bad.

Besides, they would be together for four years; it’s just the first year. If soone doesn’t undermine or harm you and is keen on helping, Gu Xiaoqing isn’t heartless.

Thus, Guo Donghua officially beca one of the shareholders in Gu Xiaoqing’s milk tea shop.

Later, when Gu Xiaoqing was worried about the pearls in the milk tea, Guo Donghua ca up with the idea of contacting her uncle, and the pearl issue was resolved swiftly. Not only the pearl issue, but the packaging concerns were addressed too, as they managed to get a thermoplastic machine.

Including getting the plastic patterned films needed.

And, of course, the cartoon-style disposable cups and straws were all gathered together. Guo Donghua’s uncle also promised that he could deliver quickly if they notified him in advance.

This was undoubtedly good news.

Otherwise, Gu Xiaoqing would have been fretting for quite so ti.

During this ti, disposable products hadn’t developed so much, and takeout services were erging, but the accompanying accessories were inadequate.

With Guo Donghua’s uncle’s help, these issues were instantly resolved.

The milk tea shop opened when school was about to break for sumr, which wasn’t the best timing because students were about to go on vacation, posing a significant risk of losing a substantial portion of clientele for shops near university gates.

But they couldn’t leave the shop vacant for two months.

Moreover, Gu Xiaoqing considered that there were two small communities around, which could possibly serve as so custor base.

Besides, compared to others, people in Shanghai are quicker to accept new things.
