The Reborn Sidekick Rejected The Male Lead-Chapter 407 - 396: For Rent

During dinner, Uncle Lin found out they had several houses, weren’t living there, and had no intention of renting them out.

Lu Jingqiu smiled and said, "We were just about to post some advertisements."

Uncle Lin laughed and said, "Why bother posting anything? There are plenty of people in our factory looking to rent, including two of my relatives and friends. Why don’t I ask around for you?"

The couple eagerly agreed.

They only planned to stay here for two or three days.

Having someone to rent the house now was good news; knowing they were short on time, he called two families that very afternoon.

One was a young couple looking for a one-bedroom for their new home.

The other was a family of three that rented a two-bedroom.

The rent was six yuan for a one-bedroom, ten yuan for a two-bedroom, and fifteen yuan for a three-bedroom per month.

Xue Jianian had just put up the advertisement when someone came to see the house.

In the end, when they left, Niannian’s family had rented out three units, and their own family had rented out three units.

They left the rest in the hands of the second cousin.

Counting these houses, in Shanghai, Manman’s two classmates were still renting them.

If the rooms here were rented out, the income from the rent alone each month would be more than enough to spend.

After returning to West City, Lu Jingqiu resumed her regular work routine.

She drew a poster every two days, and sometimes, when there were several new movies being released, she might do two in a day.

Since Lu Jingqiu joined the cinema, the novelty of the posters had attracted many people.

Director Wang was particularly pleased; during salary distribution, the two people in their department each received a bonus of two large tea jars.

Lu Jingqiu gave one of the jars to Grandpa and the other to Aunt Zhang when she got home.

In the blink of an eye, it was the start of the school year, and her husband was also leaving.

Yiyi was about to start high school, too. Yes, the girl had gotten into a very good high school in the city.

High school required her to board at school.

Lu Jingqiu had Aunt Zhang renew her old college quilt, and the cotton was fluffed up again.

With a new cover for the bed, it was Jiang Yuan who accompanied her to send Yiyi off to school.

The high school dormitory was just what it was, and she was in the same high school as Xiao Hua. Jiang Yuan pulled some strings to have the two girls assigned to the same class and switch to a different dormitory.

Lu Jingqiu told her to come straight back here after school on Sundays, as there was no one at their house and it wasn’t convenient.

If there was any issue at school, she was to call her directly at work.

With the start of the school year, their second beef soup restaurant also opened.

It followed the same model as the first restaurant, with the new recruits receiving training at the old place.

On the first day of opening, it was still buy one get one free, and many people showed up.

Xue Jianian said, "Looking at this turnout, this will be a bustling shop in the future too."

Luo Xinyue and Lu Jingqiu laughed together, "A thriving business is always good."

Everyone has now graduated and is busy with their own work.

The art editors at the office are just Luo Xinyue and Yang Bo, and she’s also paired up with someone else at the movie theater.

Xue Jianian is now looking after the farm, the two shops, and her own grain and oil store.

Riding her bike back and forth, it’s quite inconvenient.

Wei Jincheng wants to buy her a small car.

Xue Jianian refused, complaining to the two of them, "He doesn’t even have a car himself, yet he insists on buying one for me. We’re in a tight spot right now; we really need to save every penny."

"You two are still tight on money?" Luo Xinyue asked. frёewebηovel.cѳm

"With such a big factory, and the loans due soon, how could we not be tight on money?" Xue Jianian said.

It was then that Lu Jingqiu remembered and quickly said, "What, you don’t have enough money? I have some; if you need it, just say the word."

Luo Xinyue, who hadn’t thought of it either, hurriedly said, "My family has ten thousand, not much, but it could still give you a hand."

Xue Jianian, seeing the heartfelt support from her two best friends, was very grateful and quickly waved her hands, "The money is enough. In the past year, Ah Cheng has taken quite a few orders, and there have been profits. Although we didn’t distribute money last New Year, this year, we’ll definitely make it up to you."

"The factory is just getting started; we all understand that. Actually, I’m already quite satisfied," Lu Jingqiu said.

Luo Xinyue laughed, "Right, who would’ve thought that we’d now be among the families with tens of thousands! Oh, seeing how many properties you’ve got in Yangcheng City, I’m tempted too. I’m planning to look at some properties in the city when I’m free. I’m not doing much with my money, so maybe I’ll buy a house. What do you think, when will we have a residential complex like that over here? You know, with property management and all."

Lu Jingqiu laughed, "In a year or two, we’ll have it too. Once there’s a first in the country, there’ll be a second. It’ll grow like bamboo shoots after rain -- more and more."

Xue Jianian, who had great faith in Lu Jingqiu, hurriedly said, "Then we should also buy a few more units in West City. This time my maternal grandparents didn’t even want to come back; they insisted on living in the new house for a while. It’s a pity that I can’t feel at ease with them over there. I’ve asked Second Older Brother Yang to hold a unit for me, planning to take my grandparents and parents there during the New Year, to spend it in the new house."

"Yeah, buy any suitable property that comes up, no matter how far or near. Manman also wants to buy lately, thinking of getting something for me close by. It’s not easy to find good property in this area."

"Isn’t she planning to make sanitary pads? What happened? Is she back to working a job now?" Xue Jianian asked.

"My dad thinks she’s a bit impulsive and confused right now. She hasn’t really spent time in the workplace and doesn’t know what she should do. So he told her to report to work, and after a while, if she really isn’t suited for it or can’t give up on doing business, then she can decide then."

"That makes sense. You can only choose one path, just like us. I think a job is more stable," Luo Xinyue said.

Xue Jianian didn’t see it that way, "I think that product will sell really well in the future, much better than what’s currently available. Would you be willing to use it?"

"It’s very comfortable, just too expensive," Luo Xinyue said.

"How expensive could it be? You’re a household with tens of thousands; you can’t be lacking that bit of money," Xue Jianian teased.

Luo Xinyue laughed, "No kidding, I’m not one to skimp on myself."

Xue Jianian was quite interested in this and even specially met up with Shen Manman.

Nobody knew what they discussed.

When the New Year was approaching and units everywhere began to take leave, the two secretly slipped away.

They didn’t say where they were going, just took their bags and left.

Lu Jingqiu was quite worried, but not knowing where to find them, she just let them be.

Jiang Nanzhou went back to Capital City with them.

They had been celebrating New Year in Capital City for the past few years, and his father was already longing for his grandson.

During his time off, Jiang Nanzhou seldom went to the department store, but he bought his grandson a lot of clothes and toys.

Xiao Cheng can now call people, and since his arrival, he’s been indulged by his grandparents, uncles, and an older brother.

The grandmother, seeing her grandson returning only occasionally and now that he’s grown, let Jiang Nanzhou take the child to their place to stay for a few days.

Lu Jingqiu was afraid Xiao Cheng would cry, but with Yuxian’s company, the little fellow was having too much fun. By the eve of the Lunar New Year, he didn’t even want to go back home.
