CHAPTER 209: CHAPTER 162: LEAKY ROOF (PART 2)

The area is about thirty square meters, and if you walk, it’s about a fifteen-minute distance from the food market.

Other than the time aspect, Jiang Xinyi feels quite satisfied with it.

However, today there are many warehouses to check out; the breakfast stall owner found five or six warehouses for Jiang Xinyi to compare one by one, intending to choose one that is most suitable for rent.

At the first warehouse, Jiang Xinyi looked around considering the items she needed to buy, which are daily essentials. If she chooses this warehouse, she would have to consider whether dust accumulates since it looks tidy but is basically an unfinished room with untreated walls.

Moreover, it seems like nobody has managed it for a long time; the walls are all dusty, and over time, she must consider whether the goods would get damp.

If they get damp, there would be substantial losses.

Jiang Xinyi immediately ruled out this option in her mind.

Not only does it seem far, but considering the town’s climate during the rainy season, it easily gets damp, coupled with dust falling occasionally. If it falls on her goods, it would be a hassle to clean them.

Seeing Jiang Xinyi looking around without saying a word for a long time, the warehouse manager grew impatient. After all, they all wanted to rent out the warehouse, despite many competitors. Spotting Jiang Xinyi, a young girl,

he thought she would be easy to deceive, so he decided to fool her, urging:

"Young lady, you’ve been looking for a long time. Our warehouse has never been used since it was built, it’s completely new."

"You’re young and don’t understand, but our warehouse is definitely one of the best. Just look at its location, very close to the food market direction, and didn’t the breakfast stall owner mention?"

"She said you’re renting a warehouse because you want to set up a stall in the market, which makes this warehouse perfect. As a young lady, you’re probably doing small business."

"Small business shouldn’t take up much space; our thirty to forty square meters size is perfect. I’ll rent it to you cheaply and you can save a lot of money."

"Nowadays, square-shaped warehouses are really hard to find,"

What the warehouse owner said was true; the warehouse was indeed square-shaped, bright and roomy.

However, there were many concerns about this warehouse that Jiang Xinyi did not like.

The warehouse owner was eager for the warehouse to be rented out, so he kept trying to sell Jiang Xinyi on the qualities of the warehouse.

He thought Jiang Xinyi, being an outsider, wouldn’t know much about it.

He believed a few flowery words could easily deceive her.

Since it appears there aren’t any big flaws from the outside.

Plus, Jiang Xinyi is a young girl, surely her knowledge is limited.

He thought he could just gloss over some shortcomings.

After all, this warehouse is at least ten years old, and it’s not the first time it has been rented to people running businesses in the food market.

Over time, certain flaws become apparent; for example, the warehouse is old, so during windy and rainy days, it leaks.

Several times, because of leaking, renters found their goods in the warehouse flooded, leading them to stop renting halfway.

The owner of the first warehouse also thought that deceiving Jiang Xinyi would be easy due to her age, especially since, although it’s summer, the rainy season is about to end, thus reducing the chances of leaks.
