Chapter 1174 - 521: Sinister Wolves, Cunning Foxes, and Innocent Deer in the Valley (Part 2)
Looking at Lin Li, who was examining the warehouse, Brother Yu hurriedly apologized:
"Sorry, sorry, just took some time dropping off my kid for a class, sorry for being late."
Lin Li waved his hand indicating it was fine, and curiously asked:
"Brother Yu, I see from your social media that your kid has just started elementary school. Is he already attending tutoring classes?"
"Ah, no, I’m not one of those parents who push their kids too hard," Brother Yu said as he got out of the car, pulling the warehouse key out of his pocket while explaining to Lin Li: "My kid’s not in those tutoring classes, it’s more of a sports-related interest class, like little basketball. It’s pretty much just playing. He actually quite likes it."
"The main intention is just to enhance his physical condition so that when he goes to school, he can be a bit more outgoing and won’t be bullied."
Lin Li nodded in understanding, fully agreeing: "That’s true, I also think kids these days really have weaker physiques."
"You think so too!!"
"Yeah, yeah," Lin Li nodded, sighing in a ’isn’t that right’ tone: "Ten years ago, it was hard for me to handle a single kid, but yesterday I easily knocked five kids over one-handed. Kids these days really have weaker physiques."
Brother Yu nodded heavily, seeming to deeply resonate with the sentiment: "Yeah, yeah, back when I was little, I’d eat those... (゜▽゜) huh?"
Brother Yu’s response halts halfway through, realizing before swallowing his entire sentiment.
You guys call this kids’ weaker physiques.
It’s just that you’ve grown from a bully who liked to pick on peers into a big bully who likes to pick on kids!!
Damn.
I sent my kid to sports classes precisely to avoid being bullied by childhood Lin Li!!
Brother Yu, however, soon chuckled with relief.
Why is Brother Sun a god?
To answer this question, remember one thing: those who are close to a god are god-like, and that is Brother Sun’s gathering law.
Makes sense.
"Haha, Lin Li, let’s talk about the warehouse,"
Having already taken out the key, Brother Yu decisively chose to shove it into the tight little hole of the roller shutter door. He fiddled and pushed, causing it to emit creaking sounds, with his body forced upwards, revealing what it intended to protect inside.
Lin Li then also got to see the true nature of the warehouse.
The inside was tidier than it looked from the outside.
The floor was even concrete, with some dust but no obvious damage.
The walls had a simple whitewash and showed some signs of aging but were overall intact, with no obvious cracks or water marks. There was indeed just one window, but it wasn’t like the curtain Lin Li had imagined, rather it was simply blocked by a big wooden board.
Brother Yu was the first to walk in and turn on a switch on the wall, lighting a bulb that brightened most of the space.
Switching to work mode, also to get Lin Li into human mode, he quickly cleared his throat and started to introduce in a professional tone:
"This warehouse has an indoor area of fifty-three square meters, very solid structure, no issues with the roof, walls, or floor, and no weight-bearing problems."
"As for the door and windows, as you saw, Lin Li, there’s a roller shutter door outside, sturdy and durable, while inside there’s a small security door, secure, no issues there. The window is a regular glass one, but there’s a curtain, so privacy is guaranteed."
Brother Yu walked to the wall, pointing at several socket panels:
"Water and electricity are connected, standard residential utilities, enough for a workshop’s electricity. The meter’s outside the door, the faucet is in the common area outside. If you need water, you can connect to it, the wiring is all ready, you can plug in your equipment once you bring them."
—When online, whether it was Brother Sun or Brother Yu, they naturally prioritized asking Lin Li about his purpose for renting the warehouse, and Lin Li’s stated purpose was to do some ’handcrafting’ inside.
"Moreover, this location is quite isolated, with no residents nearby, so the noise requirements are low.
Setting up a workshop here, whether involving carpentry or electrical work that might need some noise, is fine, no complaints."
"Currently, the warehouse doesn’t have surveillance or air conditioning installed, but" Brother Yu pointed at the pipe interface embedded in the wall and ceiling, "these basic facilities are already reserved. The wiring and piping are ready, if you ever want to install surveillance cameras or hang air conditioning, getting someone to pull the lines and install will be very convenient, the walls are easy to drill for fixed mounts."
Lin Li nodded, released Divine Sense and scanned around, matching Brother Yu’s description, no issues.
What he needed was actually just a larger private space, the requirements weren’t high.
"How much is the rent?" Lin Li directly asked.
"Rent-wise, if it’s an annual lease, it’s 550 a month, you can also lease for six months, but that price is a bit higher, 650 a month. Wanting even shorter durations isn’t my decision, just something I’d have to negotiate with the company and the clients who entrusted us, with low success rates.
As for rent payment, it’s two months’ deposit and three months’ rent upfront.
Lin Li, do the terms and price sound acceptable to you?"
"No problems, it does fit my requirements," Lin Li nodded:
"A year seems a bit long, I’m just experimenting for now, whether I can stick with it is uncertain, so half-year lease it is. But can the rent be cheaper, considering this is the suburbs, renting a nearby house only costs a few hundred a month?"
Lin Li, while having money, isn’t particularly wealthy.
Every penny he has was hard-earned through his labor and sweat, moving Gold around.
