That’s right, a jump, at least her feet left the ground.

Because Zhuang Qingning didn’t pick the big one, or the small one, but the vacant shop two doors to the east of Fushun Tower.

“Hmm, this one.” Zhuang Qingning nodded affirmatively: “The location looks good, clean and spacious, it should be fine.”

Its area is a little bigger than the shop that Zhang Yongchang had found, almost double the size of the small shop, and its location is even better.

Zhuang Qingning thought it was very good.

“This shop is very expensive, I think we should not choose this one, it’s not suitable.” Zhang Yongchang frowned, his face looking rather grave.

“How expensive?” Zhuang Qingning was surprised.

In this town, she hadn’t heard of overly expensive rents.

“Not only is it expensive, but it’s also too big. Anyway, it’s not suitable. As a small business owner, renting such a big shop is too wasteful.” Zhang Yongchang continued to persuade earnestly.

Zhuang Qingning chuckled: “I have other plans for the future, I absolutely won’t waste it.”

She anticipated that she’d have more recipes to exchange with customers, and more things she could make. If she rented a small shop, it would quickly run out of space. It might as well be better to rent a larger shop which would be sufficient for a period of time.

At least before her business grew significantly, it would be enough, and she wouldn’t need to keep hunting for new shop spaces or be forced to open more and more shops, which would be hard to manage.

“When it comes to doing business, a nice shop front is good, but in the end it’s an expense. You have to consider whether it’s suitable or not. Your road ahead is long, you can’t just think about making big money and spending recklessly.”

“Save more money for a rainy day, that’s how to maintain a sustainable business, how to go further.”

“Don’t mind if my words sound harsh, this is just the way it is, remember this.”

Seeing the serious look on Zhang Yongchang’s face, as if his eyes were saying he was disappointed in her, Zhuang Qingning knew he was concerned she could become reckless from making some money. She laughed and explained: “Uncle Zhang, rest assured, I do have a plan.”

“I’ve thought about the future utility of renting this shop space. I won’t let any money in my hands cloud my judgement and focus solely on appearances.”

Zhang Yongchang raised his eyebrows, noticing Zhuang Qingning nodding definitively, in a serious manner. He knew she had made up her mind and no amount of persuasion could change that. He let out a long sigh.

“Uncle Zhang, just trust me and observe in the future.”

Zhuang Qingning chuckled: “But speaking of this shop’s matters, Uncle Zhang, why would they want to rent out such a good shop? I see that the For Lease sign has been hanging for quite a while. Why hasn’t it been rented out?”

Thinking carefully about it, it seemed like since the time she started doing business in this town, the shop has always remained vacant. Perhaps it’s been some time, which is very strange considering its prime location.
