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 same 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.
