Houzi introduced, "This is Ah Hua."
Lin Chuxia nodded slightly, glanced around the warehouse with Jia Liang, and said, "Let’s go do the paperwork."
Hou Xiaobao was slightly startled, "Do the paperwork now? I’ve arranged a meeting with the person in charge, Mr. Lin can take another look at the property."
"No need, I trust you guys," Lin Chuxia said as she took the lead, hands in pockets.
Noticing the others weren’t following, she turned back and said, "Come on, I don’t even know where the housing authority is."
Houzi chuckled, "It’s just ahead," and quickly jogged forward.
"The price should be this, I also thought it was high, thinking they were taking advantage because we are from out of town. Ah Hua said this price is already very fair."
Lin Chuxia had an idea in her mind; indeed, the price was more than double than what it was at their place, but this wasn’t a planned economy. With Rong City developing so well, land was naturally expensive.
"Is Ah Hua a local?"
Ah Hua had been following behind them, and upon hearing Lin Chuxia’s question, immediately replied, "I’m from Rong City. I used to work in a factory here, but the factory went down due to the recession. Then the government wanted to build a new market place and took over our factory. Us workers were laid off, relying only on government subsidies felt unreliable, so I thought of finding another job."
Lin Chuxia gave him a look, sensing he was a straightforward person.
The group arrived at the housing office, and the paperwork went smoothly.
Money exchanged hands, and the name changed; Lin Chuxia now owned her piece of land in Rong City.
She was satisfied with the speed of the process and checked the registered area, which was over eight hundred square meters.
After receiving the keys, Lin Chuxia revisited the property; aside from the warehouse being a bit run-down, there were no major issues.
"Jia Liang will stay in Rong City for a while to clean up this courtyard. It will serve as our office here."
After sorting things out at the apparel market, Lin Chuxia had Hou Xiaobao and Jia Liang investigate the local market, mainly to promote their Xiyang’s prepared food products.
Jia Liang had been busy running the market these days, and Houzi had found this courtyard.
Ever since meeting Aunt Fang, Lin Chuxia had been thinking about setting up an office in Rong City.
Whether it was the apparel business or her upcoming venture with Xiyang, this office was essential.
For the beginning stage of the business, this office would serve her business needs, and when it was no longer needed, she could just demolish it and build a small villa as her private property.
Rong City had pleasant weather, and it was a nice getaway from the north; just thinking about it made her happy.
Jia Liang was reliable, and he had experience managing Qin’s Restaurant; leaving this task to him was definitely no problem. This area also needed to develop some people.
Once things stabilized here, it wasn’t too late for Jia Liang to return.
As the sun was about to set, Lin Chuxia took her group back to the market.
The truck was already loaded with half of the goods, and Wang Tianxue was overseeing it personally.
"Sister Tianxue, how is it going today?"
Wang Tianxue glanced at the list in her hand, "We still have goods from two more places; once these are loaded, the rest are all from Aunt Fang’s stalls."
