Ye Zhuo nodded. "That's because it's only a simple renovation; that is why it can be done so soon. Oh right, mom, we still have to go to the hospital tomorrow to get our medical certificate."

It was a food service industry, after all, so they needed to get their health certificate issued before they could apply for a food hygiene license.

"Alright." Ye Shu nodded.

Ye Shu and Ye Sen still had no idea where the restaurant's location was; thus, Ye Zhuo took them to check out the restaurant after dinner.

The size of the restaurant was huge at a total of 80 square meters, including the back kitchen.

The renovation workers had already clocked out by now, so the three of them stood in the shop and talked to each other while echoes could be heard.

"Zhuo Zhuo, how much is the monthly rental for this place?" Ye Shu asked.

Ye Sen answered, "I can see that the size of the shop is quite spacious, so I bet the rental is 20,000 to 30,000 bucks a month at the very least, right?"

Ye Zhuo nodded. "Yes. The rent is 30,000 bucks a month."

Even though Ye Shu was well aware that the rental in Yunjing Province was not cheap, she was still startled by the staggering price. "30,000 a month? Wouldn't that be 360,000 bucks a year?"

"Mmhmm." Ye Zhuo was calm and composed, and there was even a faint smile on her lips. It was as if they were not discussing a matter of 360,000 but rather 36 bucks.

Ye Sen began to calculate. "The monthly wage for my package delivery job is 5,200 bucks, so 360,000 bucks is five years' worth of my salary!" He would not have known had he not calculated, so the figure certainly caught him off guard.

Nonetheless, Ye Zhuo spoke nonchalantly, "To receive gains, you must invest first."

Meanwhile, a middle-aged woman with permed hair walked into the shop from the outside while holding sunflower seeds in her hand. "Is this shop rented by you?"

Ye Zhuo nodded. "Yes."

The curly-haired woman continued, "My surname is He, and I'm selling snacks over there. There! Look, it's that Nutcracker Snack Shop! Let me tell you this... The location that you rented is problematic. Whoever rents it will lose money. I've seen this place switch ownership ten times! Let's not discuss the older ones but talk about the most recent one. The shop that transferred its lease to you is known as Zhang's Braised Meat Rice, and they lost a few tens of thousands!"

Ye Shu's face turned ghastly pale upon hearing about the losses. "Really?"

The curly-haired woman smiled and added, "Look at me... do I look like a person who is trying to deceive you? Oh right, did the boss of Zhang's Braised Meat Rice tell you that they're moving abroad? In truth, the Zhang family hasn't moved abroad at all. She moved to the shop next to us to sell snacks! It's now known as Zhang's Snacks!"

The curly-haired woman was furious when she recalled this incident.

She was supposed to be the only snack shop in the area, yet Zhang's Snack suddenly opened up next to her. Moreover, Zhang's Snack was selling their products at a cheaper price than hers, so a large portion of her business was forcefully seized!

Otherwise, it was supposed to be a busy time for the shop now. How would she find the free time to take a stroll?

The reason why the curly-haired woman took the initiative to come over and talk to Ye Zhuo was that she had a selfish motive too.
