Chapter 5: I feel pity for you

A lot happened this evening.

Shen Mo was so excited that he didn't fall into a drowsy sleep until after one in the morning.

When I woke up the next day, the sun was already high in the sky.

I looked at the watch. It was 9:20.

After quickly washing up, his stomach started to growl, so he put on some clothes casually and went out to buy breakfast.

A black T-shirt, khaki shorts, flip-flops, and fluffy hair, he looks like a typical loser.

Although Xingfuli Community is an old and dilapidated community, living there is still relatively convenient. There is a row of shops outside the south gate, including restaurants, real estate agencies, etc.

The Xiaoying Cake Shop opened by Lin Ying and her daughter is right next to the Hangtianxia Real Estate Agency.

However, the cake shop was closed at this time, and a construction team's small truck was parked at the door, as if it was preparing for renovation.

The Hangzhou Tianxia Real Estate Agency was open for business, with a handwritten poster posted at the door: We are urgently selling cake shop equipment.

Shen Mo became interested when he accidentally saw this scene, so he pushed the door open and walked in.

"Hello sir, are you looking for a house?" The female agent Li Feifei greeted him warmly.

"Hello, I saw a sign at the door saying they sell cake shop equipment, I'd like to learn more about it."

"Okay, it's like this..."

Li Feifei was halfway through her words when she suddenly realized that the person in front of her looked familiar.

"Are you a student from the No. 2 Middle School next door?"

The two lived in the same residential complex and often bumped into each other at the breakfast shop next door. Shen Mo's image of carrying a schoolbag to school was quite conspicuous, so Li Feifei remembered him.

"Yes, but I came here today to take a look at the equipment." Shen Mo replied with a smile.

"Okay, please sit here."

Li Feifei did not neglect Shen Mo because of his student status and simple attire. She politely invited him to the sofa area and poured him a glass of water.

"After the college entrance examination, you want to open a cake shop?" She raised the corners of her mouth and joked.

"Ha, I want to know." Shen Mo laughed.

"Oh, the equipment is in the cake shop next door. At the beginning of the month, it was transferred to our boss along with the storefront. The equipment includes ovens, fermentation boxes, etc. You can go and take a look. The total price is fifteen thousand. If you think it's suitable, you can discuss it with our boss in detail."

"Let's go and take a look."

Li Feifei opened the door with the key and let Shen Mo in to have a look.

This is a small cake shop, about 50 square meters. It is very clean and tidy, and every corner is quite stylish.

Some equipment, such as the oven, even have a portrait of Lin Ying and her daughter together, making the overall atmosphere very warm.

It can be seen that they have put a lot of effort into this small shop that they rely on for survival.

Lin's mother fled from her hometown with her daughter and came to Hangzhou. After working hard for more than ten years, they finally bought this storefront and opened a cake shop.

For Lin Ying, every piece of equipment inside, even the table and chair, can be said to be her mother's relics.

What Shen Mo didn't know was that just half an hour before he arrived, Lin Ying came to the Hangtianxia agency and asked the boss to give her some time to raise the money to buy back the equipment.

But the boss said that he had invited a friend's decoration team to renovate the cake shop and the work would start at 10 o'clock. Both parties had agreed that if the cakes were not sold before the work, the decoration team would take away all the equipment.

Shortly after Lin Ying left anxiously, Zhang Gong, the pioneer of the decoration team, arrived.

The boss told Li Feifei: "The construction period does not wait for anyone. If there are buyers asking, wait. If it is not sold, let Engineer Zhang take it away."

……

"How about it? Do you want to talk to our boss?" Li Feifei stood at the door, looking a little lazy.

"Okay." "Please follow me."

Watching Shen Mo walk into the boss's office, Li Feifei raised a sly smile on her face.

At this time, another female agent, Xu Dan, came over and asked with a puzzled look on her face: "Fei Fei, why are you still helping Lin Ying delay time?"

As everyone knows, Li Feifei and Lin Ying have conflicts.

The thing is, a client of the agency had taken a fancy to Li Feifei and started pursuing her. Li Feifei felt okay about this guy and originally wanted to keep him in the fish pond for a while, collect some gifts and then slowly start dating him.

As a result, one day, the customer happened to go into the cake shop next door to buy food. When he saw Lin Ying, he was shocked by her beauty and immediately fell in love with her.

Although Lin Ying had never agreed to him and was very upset about it, Li Feifei felt that it was the vixen who had snatched the fish from her pond, so she was very unhappy.

"Do you think a poor student like this has the money to buy equipment?" Li Feifei said with a smile.

"I don't think so."

"Yes."

"Oh, so if he doesn't buy it, the boss will let the decoration team take it away. Where will Lin Ying go then?" Xu Dan suddenly realized Li Feifei's intention and complained silently in his heart: This woman is a bit bad!

The boss's office.

The agency owner, Chen Jun, is a man in his fifties, with a chubby white face full of shrewdness and sophistication.

"Young man, do you want to buy the equipment next door?"

"I have this idea. But I'm a little curious, why is your store selling cake shop equipment?"

"Oh, it's like this. At the beginning of the month, the girl next door transferred the entire store to me. Today, they are going to do some renovations. If you don't come, my friend will take all the equipment away."

"Got it, wait for me to call, okay?"

After getting consent, Shen Mo was about to call Lin Ying to communicate, but unexpectedly she called him first.

"Xiao Mo, can you... help me just once?" There was a hint of tears in her voice.

"Sister Ying, don't be anxious. Tell me what's going on slowly."

"I already owe you so much, I shouldn't bother you anymore, but I, I really have no choice." Lin Ying's tone was full of sadness and anxiety, "The equipment of the cake shop is a relic left to me by my mother..."

"I understand. Can you come to the Hangtianxia agency now? I'll wait for you here." Shen Mo said gently.

Ten minutes later, Lin Ying hurried over.

When they saw her appear, everyone, regardless of gender, were dazzled: What a natural beauty!
Although she is dressed simply and wears no makeup, her beauty is that she looks as if she has nothing in her body.

She was wearing a moon-white shirt and light-colored trousers. She had a well-proportioned and elegant figure, with soft black hair hanging down her shoulders. Her fair, delicate and beautiful face had a hint of sadness, which made me feel pity for her.

A hint of jealousy flashed in Li Feifei's eyes.

She was also considered a little beauty, but was outshined as soon as they met.

Lin Ying did not stay in the lobby for long. Under the guidance of Xu Dan, she came to the office inside and met Shen Mo and the boss who were waiting for her.

"Mr. Chen, I want to buy these equipments with Sister Ying. What do you think?" Shen Mo went straight to the point.

"Oh? You are with her? That's okay. I originally wanted to say that she was the one who asked first." Chen Jun said with a smile.

"That's good, but I don't know about the price. Can we discuss it?"

"Okay, okay. We are old neighbors. We are also very sad about what happened to his mother." Chen Jun's face was full of sympathy, and there was no trace of the ruthlessness of trying to lower the price when transferring the store.

It's not that Lin Ying hates him.

When doing business, it is understandable to be a little cunning and cruel.

Moreover, after her mother was admitted to the ICU, she was desperate and tried every possible means to save her life. Although the price offered by Chen Jun was low, it was enough to help her in an emergency.
