There is a saying that plans are not as fast as changes.

We had already discussed it with the landlord, and they agreed to Shi Xiaolei's renovation of the store. However, just a few days before Shi Xiaolei was about to contact the construction team to close the business for rectification, the landlord suddenly came to the store and said something very embarrassing.

A message.

I won’t mention the specific matter. In short, something happened to the landlord’s family and he needed funds. In order to raise money, he had to make the decision to sell the house.

However, the relationship between Shi Xiaolei and the landlord had always been very good. Due to mutual trust, they did not sign a written contract regarding the renovation of the store.

So, things took a turn here - if the landlord sells the store to someone else, it is a question whether others will continue to let Shi Xiaolei renew the lease. Taking a step back, even if he is willing to rent to him, he may not be allowed to make changes to the store.

upgrade.

Looking for another store? Or...

The neighbors have become familiar with each other, and I feel a little reluctant to move out now. The reputation of my store has already been established, and if I suddenly change the address, I may have to lose a lot of regular customers. In addition, the landlord is very honest and sells the house.

The purpose was not to make money, and there was no water in the price... After a few days of consideration, Shi Xiaolei gritted his teeth and stamped his feet, and simply bought it with his own money.

Houses are not expensive, but land is.

Previously, I only spent 3.68 million to buy a new house. That was because Shi Xiaolei only bought one floor, and when converted into property rights of the land, he only occupied one-sixth.

But now, the house and the land are bought together. The price is not comparable to buying a one-story building.

The floor area ratios of popular areas in first-tier international cities have always been ridiculously high. For example, the floor area ratios of many places in Hong Kong generally exceed 10.0.

On Manhattan Island, the relevant data are only high but not low.

In other words, the land price is at least ten times higher than the house price.

Together with the shop in the front and the living space in the back, the total area is nearly 400 square meters. Comparing the average house price in the area of ​​11,100 to 13,000 per square meter, I want to buy this land from the landlord.

, Shi Xiaolei must prepare at least 45 million US dollars.

This does not include the price of the house.

If you think about it carefully, you only got 50 million in total from selling the gems to Stark. After deducting the 3.68 million used to buy the house, you still have to set aside some living money to decorate the home. In addition, you can buy furniture and appliances for the home, and

The cost of renovating the store...even if you include the 1.5 million that you saved at the beginning, it will only be enough.

Maybe he has to borrow some money, maybe not. In any case, Shi Xiaolei has to dig out every penny in his pocket to get enough money to complete the transaction with the landlord. Why is this decision so difficult?

right here.

After all, Shi Xiaolei was not a Chinese born in the United States, but he still retained the Chinese habits - if there is no money in the bank account for emergencies, he would always feel a little guilty.

"Alas." I lay on the table and wrote and drew for a while, but the numbers I calculated were still the same.

Putting down his pen, he stretched and looked back at Kang Na and 2B's room where the lights had been turned off. Shi Xiaolei stood up and walked into the bathroom gently.

Turning on the faucet, washing his face, and looking at himself in the mirror, Shi Xiaolei raised his hand and patted his cheek: "Cheer up and don't be discouraged. It's just money, and it's not that you can't make it. Be positive, Shi Xiaolei, you

It’s okay. After all, you just don’t have any money left and you don’t have any debts, so your situation isn’t that bad.”

I refueled myself and felt a little more relaxed.

Thinking back to SHIELD's last purchase, almost half a month had passed. Thinking that they might come to buy another batch of goods in a few days, and then he would be able to get another payment, Shi Xiaolei finally had a look on his face.

He smiled and felt a little more confident.

Pulling the towel, he wiped the water stains on his face. After gathering his mood, Shi Xiaolei turned around and planned to go to the kitchen to get a hot water bottle and soak his feet before going to bed.

The moment he turned around to face the living room, a sparkling orange-red halo suddenly appeared in front of his eyes.

“!!!!”

As a time traveler, he was very familiar with this kind of movement. As soon as he saw the circle of light, Shi Xiaolei's eyes widened, and an alarm bell sounded in his heart.

‘The boss is here, what should I do? Could it be that the identity of the time traveler has been exposed, which has aroused her dissatisfaction?’

'Probably not. If it was just because of her identity as a time traveler, she would have definitely come to her door long ago. In that case...it wouldn't be because I interfered in the battle between Stark and Iron Overlord and messed up the original timeline.

That's why she was targeted?'

‘What to do, what to do? You won’t be exiled, right?’

The more he thought about it, the more panicked he became. Shi Xiaolei's whole body froze, as if he had returned to the barbarian's hometown and was frozen into a statue by the cold wind on the top of Mount Arreat.

"Hello." Whatever he was afraid of, the person who appeared in front of Shi Xiaolei was indeed the Supreme Mage who was known as the ceiling of the earth's forces in the Marvel Universe.

She was obviously not tall and not burly, and she still had a faint smile on her face, but the psychological pressure she put on Shi Xiaolei was indeed like a mountain, making him breathless.

"Ha, hello~." Shi Xiaolei raised his hand in an extremely cautious manner, and grinned forcefully, forcing out an ugly smile.

Gu Yi smiled and nodded, raised his right hand and waved it gently.

The floors, walls, ceilings, and all the furniture and furnishings in the room all seemed to have suddenly come alive.

Flip and fold, an extremely fantasy yet very realistic scene unfolded before Shi Xiaolei's eyes.

Knowing that this was a reaction when the mirror space was opened, the corners of Shi Xiaolei's eyes twitched twice unconsciously.

"The little one is still growing. The quality of sleep is very important. It's best not to disturb her." He walked towards Shi Xiaolei and pointed to Kang Na's room, which was no longer in the same dimension. Gu Yi had a slightly naughty look on his face.

He smiled and said: "Besides, if she makes a fuss, it will be quite troublesome to clean up, don't you think?"

"..." Not knowing how to respond, Shi Xiaolei held it in for several seconds before he could only squeeze out one sentence: "Who are you?"

There was still some luck.

"Haha." Gu Yi shook his head gently, with a smile of 'I have seen through everything' on his face: "Locke, you know who I am."

Because of Gu Yi's words, Shi Xiaolei shuddered in his heart again, and his expression became more and more nervous.

"Relax." Turning around and sitting on the sofa, Gu Yi seemed very comfortable, as if he had returned to his own home: "Sit down, don't be nervous. I came today just to say hello and to remind you a few words.

The words have no other meaning."

"……."

"The tea is good." Gu Yi fetched a teacup from the kitchen, poured himself a cup of tea, and took a sip.

Putting down the cup, Gu Yi reached out and took out a small paper bag from his arms and put it on the coffee table: "But it's still not as good as what I brought. Here, this is the meeting gift I brought you, from Kama Taj.

Specialty tea, you can’t buy it outside.”
