Chapter 60 - 60 An Awful Mess
60 An Awful Mess
Keeley looked at Edward innocently and replied sweetly, “Mr. Edward, I’m not causing trouble. I’m just helping you to check if they’re sincere in buying.”
Edward pointed the finger at Keeley, but his upbringing did not allow him to say rude vulgarities. After saying ‘you’ for a long time, he could only suppress his anger and turn to Vivian. “Miss Vivian, let’s go and talk face to face.”
Vivian looked at Keeley, who had warned her, and smiled. She then turned around and walked elegantly to the coffee shop opposite.
Lillian and Daisy chose a seat that wasn’t too far or too close, where they could see the entire coffee shop.
Edward, Vivian, and Leon sat in a more private corner.
Edward told Vivian why he sold the house and Keeley’s mischief, and Vivian suddenly understood why he had explicitly told her not to wait at the door.
This wasn’t being considerate. He was afraid he wouldn’t be able to get away after knowing the inside story.
Vivian gave Edward a meaningful look. “If miss Keeley didn’t see me calling you, I don’t know when I’d find out about this troublesome tenant.”
Edward blushed. He was in a hurry to leave, and Keeley had been causing trouble. So, he had thought of an excuse to trick Vivian into buying it. When the transfer was done the next day, he would no longer have to worry about it.
Now that Vivian had seen through him, Edward was a little ashamed. “Miss Vivian, you can see the location of my shop. It’s located in a bustling commercial pedestrian street adjacent to two high-end shopping malls. The famous financial circle and Central Business District Center are just one street away, so there’s no need to worry about business. My store is 268 square meters, and according to the market price, it’s worth at least 2.1 million. I’ll give you 20 thousand less as an apology for hiding it from you.”
With Miss Keeley around, the shop would not be sold so easily. Vivian knew nothing about the difficulty of the mess, so she would not agree so quickly.
She slowly took a sip of coffee and said, “Mr. Edward, did you bring the rental contract for this shop?”
Edward nodded repeatedly. He had brought everything he could, not just the lease contract. If the Housing Authority was still working during the day, he could transfer the documents immediately.
Vivian looked at the documents on the table and chuckled. She could tell that Edward had been exhausted by Keeley. “Mr. Edward, does Keeley have any background? ”
Edward rarely asked about the tenants’ privacy. He frowned and thought for a long time. “I don’t know, but I heard her mention the black snake gang when she threatened others. This gang is a famous local snake in our area. I’m not very clear about the rest.”
Vivian lowered her eyes and thought for a moment. “Mr. Edward, I still need to think about it. I’ll contact you when I’ve thought it through.”
Edward quickly tried to persuade her when he heard the customer he had been looking for was about to run away again. “I’ll give you another 20,000 Yuan discount! I can see that you’re not an ordinary person since you’re able to buy all the shops here at such a young age. Things that seem troublesome to me are different when it comes to you.”
Vivian looked up at Edward, the corners of her lips lifted slightly, and she said in a soft voice, “Isn’t it a little small to let 40,000 Yuan in interest to buy a shop that I don’t know if it can be opened?”
Edward knew that there was still room for negotiation, so he immediately asked, “Then how much do you think we can decide on?”
There was no need to be soft-hearted when it came to ripping off others. After all, she still had a lot of uses for her money. After careful calculation, it was not forbidden to use it. Vivian’s red lips parted slightly. “Give me three hundred thousand.”
“Three hundresthousand?” Edward shouted in surprise.
Edward was a little angry, thinking that Vivian was playing with him. “Ms. Vivian, do you really want it?”
Vivian looked at Edward with a serious expression and said slowly, “Mr. Edward, do you think I’m taking advantage of you? I’m afraid I’ll lose out. Since the other party dared to say such harsh words, it means they have some background, but it’s impossible to determine how big or small the power behind them is. I’m also taking a gamble. If I find out in a few days that I can’t afford to offend them. I wouldn’t dare to buy it even if you gave me 300,000 less.”
