Chapter 99 Preparing to open a store
After hanging up the call with Gao Zhixian, Lin Manman washed his face and cheered up in order not to let Mother Lin and Xu Yuemei see anything.
Xiao Qi walked around her with concern. The treasure hunter placed next to the hospital bed also felt Lin Manman's emotional changes and huddled up in order to reduce his sense of presence.
When Lin's mother and aunt Xu Yuemei came back with a lot of things, Lin Manman greeted them with a smile.
In the next two days, Lin Manman didn't go anywhere. She just stayed in the ward. Taking advantage of Lin's mother's inattention, she asked Xiao Qi to throw two skills, all as a way to replenish Brother Lin's energy.
Two days later, the results of the college entrance examination came out. Lin’s mother urged her to check the results, and she followed the instructions to check the scores online.
"485... not bad, better than your previous test." Mother Lin smiled, not caring about the score at all.
Lin Manman forced a smile. She was very satisfied with the score she could get after so many years of poor performance.
"Did you check Yaqi's score? How much did you take?"
"Checked...685..." It was a full 200 points higher than her...
"Then you two are quite destined." Mother Lin couldn't help laughing.
Lin Manman silently pulled out Fang Yaqi's contact information, left her a message and blocked her for 200 minutes...
"Okay, anyway, you have already received the admission invitation from Jinling High School, so there is no need to care so much about the score." Mother Lin finished laughing before trying to make up for her daughter.
"When will the admission notice be sent?"
"Is it the middle of the month?" Lin Manman thought about it and was not sure.
But anyway, she added the contact information of Wu Yunsheng and the old man. If she couldn't receive it in the middle of the month, she sent a message to ask them.
Oh, that old man said that his surname was also Lin and asked her to call him Grandpa Lin. I just don’t know if her teacher will dare to let her call her that when she comes back...
Mother Lin wanted to say something else, but at this time Xia Ming called.
She didn't tell anyone about Lin Manman's kidnapping a few days ago, but Xia Ming somehow found out.
He contacted her that night, and Lin Manman told him not to mind, as she had not been harmed in any way.
And Xia Ming is just an ordinary person, so even if he was present at the time, it wouldn't have much effect. Of course, she didn't say this.
Xia Ming was very concerned about it and said that he would finish the matter and come find her in two days.
It seems that his work is finished.
"Miss, I have arrived and the accommodation matter has been settled. Now I have information on several more suitable houses. I would like to ask if Miss is free to go and take a look?"
Lin Manman did not expect that not only did Xia Ming arrive early, but his work was also arranged.
Thinking about the past two days in the hospital, except for Xiao Qi and Treasure Hunter, who were two small ones that she carried with her, the other ones were only summoned for fun during meals because they were too big.
It’s really time to buy a bigger house so that the spiritual pets can have a larger space for activities.
"If you have time... then go take a look!"
Mother Lin also heard their conversation, and she still maintained a certain degree of vigilance about the man sent by her daughter's teacher to help.
"Have you brought your ID? When you pay and sign, you have to confirm it. If you like the house you like, show it to me and I will help you refer to it." "I have brought it, I know, don't worry. "Okay." Lin Manman waved his ID card in front of her.
In this world, most professionals awaken around the age of fifteen, so as long as professionals are over fifteen years old, they have the same civil rights as adults.
"Okay, be careful when you go out." Mother Lin warned gently.
"I know!" Lin Manman waved and left the hospital with Xiao Qi on his head and the treasure hunter rat in his arms.
After meeting with Xia Ming, Xia Ming first asked her to choose from the information. Finally, Lin Manman picked out three sets that were more suitable in all aspects. She planned to check these three first, and then choose the remaining ones if they were not suitable for the actual situation.
These three items are all in line with Lin Manman's requirements, which are at least two floors, suitable for living in, and a yard.
The first one is the closest, but the yard is not large.
The second room is the farthest and has the largest area, but it is also the most expensive, costing 24 million, which is a bit beyond the budget.
Although Lin Manman's previous earnings, including Amber's signing fee, game bonuses, school bonuses, etc., were almost close to 70 million.
But she not only has to spend money to buy a house, but also to spend money on subsequent decorations, purchasing spiritual animals, and employees' salaries.
Coupled with the plan to open a store in the Imperial Capital later, she really didn't want to invest too much in Jinling at once.
Moreover, she and her little kids at home both had to practice. Ever since she bought a few skill books, she felt that no matter how much money she had, it would never be enough.
The last one is two stops away from the school, about a twenty-minute walk. The exterior design of the three-story building is more like a single-family villa. Although it is much smaller than the second one, there is a small garden in the front and back, and the area is quite good. It should have been occupied by someone else before.
Although Lin Manman is quite satisfied with this, it costs more than 11 million, which she thinks is a bit expensive.
After Xia Ming knew her thoughts, he didn't know how to negotiate with the other party, but he suddenly dropped it to 10 million.
Lin Manman happily shared it with Mama Lin. After getting Mama Lin's support, she quickly handed over the money and the contract.
Xia Ming would be responsible for completing the subsequent procedures, and Lin Manman simply made a request for the rest of the decoration, and then allocated the budget to Xia Ming.
Watching Xia Ming list her requirements in an orderly manner, then find quotes online, and present a variety of alternatives, Lin Manman just wanted to sigh, it's great to have Xia Ming here!
As long as Xia Ming is around, she feels that she doesn't even have to think about it, Xia Ming is the eternal god!
After Xia Ming decided on the decoration plan with her, he sent it to the decoration company. The construction period was only seven to ten days. Moreover, most of the decoration materials in this world also come from the secret realm, which is safe and pollution-free. You can move in after the decoration is completed and allowed to dry.
Lin Manman and Xia Ming finalized the house, and Qiu Xiangjing was responsible for the opening process of the Spirit Beast Shop.
It is conservatively estimated that her spirit animal shop should be officially open for business in two weeks!
A major goal was accomplished, which made Lin Manman, who had not been in a high mood for the past two days, feel a little happy.
On the way back by Xia Ming, Treasure Hunter and Xiao Qi whispered.
The treasure-hunting mouse comes from outside the city, and Xiaoqi comes from a secret realm. Both beasts are full of curiosity about human society, but Xiaoqi's curiosity is positive, while the treasure-hunting mouse is more afraid.
In the past two days, the Treasure Hunter has been trying hard to reduce its presence. It only makes active noises when it is hungry. Its cautious appearance makes people unable to help but feel moved.
Hearing the two beasts talking about the world outside the wall, Lin Manman suddenly became curious.
She was born here for fifteen years and rarely heard news from the outside world. What kind of world was outside the city and what kind of people were there? It seems that these issues are not involved in ordinary people's lives.
"Uncle Xia, what is the world outside the wall like?" She thought that people like Xia Ming should understand many truths that ordinary people cannot understand in their lifetime...
