Chapter 51


    "Shall we rent it to them?" Ynda Lane asked when Chuck Cannon remained silent for a while.


    "What do they n to do?" He replied.


    "It looks like they are nning on starting a milk tea shop," Ynda said.


    "A milk tea shop?" Chuck smiled. Without the rent, the milk tea shop would cost 50 or 60 thousand


    dors with the decorations and furniture. Perhaps it was Lara Jean`s cousin, Charlotte Yates, who


    took the big share with Lara offered a little money. Both of them should be hiring a couple of


    workers to work for them. That sounded like a good idea.


    "Rent it to them," Chuck said.


    "Very well," Ynda said before hanging up the phone.


    Chuck hung up the phone, tidied up, and drove to the za. After arriving at the za, Ynda had


    already signed a contract with Lara and others. They had already taken the keys and went to n


    the shopfront carefully.


    When Chuck had just arrived, he saw a shop which had been empty for quite some time, had its


    door half-opened. Lara and Charlotte probably had chosen that shopfront, their judgment was not


    bad too.


    Ynda said that she had epted a deposit of 5,000 dors and Chuck nodded in agreement.


    Their marketing strategy of providing a one-year rent-free store to people seeded as many


    people came to enquire about it, and there were only about ten of the shops left. And now it was


    even better as more and more people wereing after the empty shop lots, they managed to hit


    their initial expectations.


    Chuck heaved a sigh of relief. There was finally some good sign. He hoped that the za would


    be prosperous as soon as possible so that his mother would not be disappointed.


    Chuck then transferred three million dors to thepany''s ount as the za needed some


    liquidity. Although this amount was not much for a za, it was all Chuck had in his bank ount.


    He would still need to ask for more from his mother.


    Chuck allowed Ynda to keep that money as she was the manager after all, who was in charge of


    the whole za, facilities, employees, and so on. All of which needed money.


    Ynda took it and said, "Thank you for trusting me."


    "Don’t mention it," Chuck smiled. He was lucky enough to get a beautiful manager to help him run


    his business.


    "Let me know if the money is not enough," Chuck continued. "It should be enough. The rental from


    other shops in the za every month is already quite arge sum."


    "Well, you are right." Ynda smiled. It seemed that her decision was right. She needed a good


    boss at the moment.


    Now it seemed that her decision was right.


    Since Chuck had nothing to do, he nned to go to school for sses. Since holidays were around


    the corner, perhaps he should start putting more effort into his academics.


    "Charlotte, look at this shop, isn''t it good?" Lara was interested. She had wanted to open her own


    shop for a long time, but she had no money. She was motivated when she heard about the


    advertisement for a one-year rent-free shop so she dragged her cousin over. It was free after all so


    she had the guts to do anything she liked.


    "Yes, it''s not bad." Charlotte nodded with satisfaction.


    "Look, if it wasn’t for the rent-free period, the rental fees are around 7000 dors per month. Now


    with the rent-free period, I am saving around 80 thousand dors. It’s like I''ve got an 80 thousand


    dor profit. As for the decoration and furniture, I''ve figured it out. This shop front is not big, so it will


    require at most 40 thousand dors. We can hire two employees to work, and with some


    advertisement at the school, we will definitely make money. We will be bosses who soon earn


    thousands of dors a month without doing anything. We can even earn more than that if the


    business is good!" Lara was somewhat hopeful.


    Charlotte also smiled. Thirty thousand dors, she had to fork out thirty thousand dors. That was


    all she had after working part-time for so many years. As for where Lara would find ten thousand


    dors, she didn’t know but it shouldn’t be a big problem.


    "Well, then let''s go for a walk and bring the renovation contractors over to give us a quote. We''d


    better ask a few morepanies so that we can get the cheapest quote. " Lara said.


    "Okay, I know of a couple ofpanies nearby. Let''s go and ask them now." Hearing what Lara


    said, Charlotte was excited too.


    The two of them pulled open the shutter gate and went out, but Lara saw someone and shouted,


    "Hey!"


    In the distance, Chuck was stunned and turned his head.


    Charlotte was overjoyed when she saw Chuck. Why was he here? Was he here for a meal?


    Charlotte was really surprised.


    Chuck did not take any move thest time they met. And Charlotte had insomnia for a couple of


    days after that, she thought, "Is Chuck interested in me or not? I said it so clearly in the car that


    night. But he didn''t touch me.” To be honest, Charlotte was very disappointed. She wasn’t that bad


    of ady too.


    "Charlotte, let me introduce someone to you. This is the top-grade loser in our ss." Lara proudly


    pulled Charlotte and walked towards Chuck.


    Charlotte was shocked. It turned out that Chuck had such an image in Lara''s heart. "Loser?"


    Charlotte wanted to p Lara in her face.


    "Chuck, what are you doing here? Are you here to look at the shop lots too?"


    Lara looked down on him. When she went to the manager''s office, she was surprised to know that


    the campus beauty Ynda was the manager. She tried so hard to make Ynda rent the shop to


    her, but Chuck...


    Although she did see Ynda, the campus belle,e to find Chuck in the ss before, she did


    not think much about their rtionship. Now that she thought about it and found it unreasonable.


    Why would Ynda look for Chuck?


    Maybe it was because of Zelda Maine. Zelda was the only possible reason!


    Perhaps it was because Ynda had something to discuss with Zelda, then she knew Chuck was a


    friend of Zelda by ident, so she asked Chuck for help. Ynda only took Chuck as a middleman,


    and it was nothing great.


    "He didn''t even know that he was being used by someone else. What a loser!" She made the


    assumption in her head.


    "I''m not here for the shops, I am just wandering around," Chuck nced at Charlotte and shook his


    head. Charlotte wanted to say something, but she had promised Chuck not to tell Lara about him.


    Charlotte felt helpless in her heart. "Lara, don''t you go too far, or he might take revenge on you.


    He''s so rich..."


    "Oh." Lara smiled.


    “Why did I even asked though? Your purpose here can only be and wander around too,


    right?”, but Lara''s heart was full of contempt.


    "He is probably lying. What a loser! Ynda is just making use of you, but you are so happy that


    you think that Ynda will talk to you? Stop dreaming, she is the campus belle!


    She will not pay attention to you at all even if you came to look for her! Do you think that she will be


    grateful to you because you helped her once? What a loser." She continued to look down on Chuck


    in her mind.

    "This is my store." Lara showed off. "You don''t know it, do you? The manager of this za is the


    campus belle Ynda. I just told her to rent it to me and she immediately rented it to me after


    making a phone call!"


    "Oh, it''s great. Congrattions." Chuck smiled.


    Lara was dissatisfied. "What the hell are youughing at? I''m going to be a boss now, but you''re still


    following Zelda around. I''m much better than you."


    "Come and have a drink during the opening ceremony, I''ll give you one free drink," Lara said.


    "Oh, thank you," Chuck replied lightly.


    Charlotte''s face turned red. She felt embarrassed and was ashamed. Lara, Chuck could buy this


    store, but you... how could you speak like he is poor? She thought. Charlotte could only throw an


    apologetic look at Chuck.


    "It doesn''t matter to me. When your store opens, there will be plenty of opportunities for you to ask


    me for help." Chuck thought in his heart.


    "By the way, this is my cousin, Charlotte." Lara finally introduced.


    Charlotte breathed a sigh of relief and reached out her slender hand. "Nice to meet you."


    "Hello." Chuck reached out his hand and shook it. This was the first time Chuck had touched


    Charlotte’s hand. Her hand was really soft and her skin was very tender.


    Feeling that her hand was being pinched by his fingers, Charlotte''s face turned redder. What did he


    want to do?


    "Let go, are you taking advantage of my cousin?" Lara was angry and hurriedly pulled their hands


    away.


    Charlotte was irritated and thought, "What are you doing? I was willing to be taken advantage of by


    him! You…” Charlotte was speechless. If it weren''t for Lara, Charlotte would have pulled Chuck to


    the bathroom already.


    "Pervert!" Lara curled her lips.


    "Me? Pervert? Did I sleep with you that night?" Chuck said.


    "You..." Lara''s face immediately turned red. Yes, Chuck helped her in front of Zelda that day. She


    did say that she would sleep with Chuck, but he didn''t want it!


    Charlotte''s eyes widened. Was there such a situation between the two of them? Did they almost


    sleep together?


    "Chuck, if you say it again, I won''t forgive you." Lara was angry.


    "Why don''t you let others know what you''ve done? You said it yourself that you were willing to sleep


    with me." He said.


    "You bastard, I did say that, but you didn''te over. I gave you a chance but you turned it down, it


    means that you have given up. If it was today, do you think I will say the same again? Dream on! I


    have a boyfriend now, a rich man! A baller!" Lara red at Chuck with a proud face.


    "Oh, a baller? Who is it?" Chuckughed.
