#1069 - Chapter 1069: Not Suitable
How could there be profit sharing?
Didn't the system say that I only own the property, not the store itself?!
【Host, you are incredibly lucky. This guy's contract with the original landlord stipulated a 20% profit share as rent.】
At this moment, the system seemed to finally understand what was happening and reminded him.
"What? Profit sharing as rent? Haha! Doesn't that mean I own 20% of Zhao Shiqu's store?"
Xiao Fan's heart instantly bloomed with joy.
Could this be a case of 'the mountains and rivers cause doubt, but then a village appears'?
He was already prepared to simply disgust Zhao Shiqu.
Now, he not only succeeded in disgusting him but also owns 20% of his store?
So damn satisfying!!
Clearly, he loathes me.
Yet, he has to endure the disgust and make money for me.
Tsk tsk!
What could be more satisfying than this?
"What's going on?"
After Zhao Shiqu left, Xiao Fan chuckled, walked back to the room, and heard Ruan Yu's questioning voice.
Xiao Fan's expression remained unchanged as he told Ruan Yu the reason the system provided:
"When I went out earlier, someone offered a reward for helping them refine pills. If I succeeded, they'd give me a property in Demon Domain City. I thought it was simple, so I casually helped them refine it."
"That person was quite reliable and actually transferred a property to my name. But I never expected that property to be Zhao Shiqu's store!!"
"What I didn't expect even more was that Zhao Shiqu's original contract with them stipulated that the rent would be collected as a 20% profit share."
"However, it's clear that Zhao Shiqu misunderstood and thought I was the original landlord! Haha!!"
Because he disgusted Zhao Shiqu.
Xiao Fan felt very satisfied.
He couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Ruan Yu also glanced at Xiao Fan charmingly, finding this guy a bit interesting.
Whether the reason given by the system was too powerful or Ruan Yu truly believed Xiao Fan.
She didn't doubt the explanation Xiao Fan gave at all.
"Then, can't you take this opportunity to ask him for some benefits?"
Ruan Yu suggested.
"Wouldn't that be inappropriate?"
Xiao Fan hesitated.
"What's inappropriate? I'll go with you. If he dares to cause trouble, I'll beat him up."
A devilish smile appeared on Ruan Yu's face.
"Sister Yu also wants to beat him up?"
Xiao Fan asked in surprise.
"Of course!! This guy has disgusted me many times before. If I didn't have an excuse, I would have beaten him up long ago. If he dares to refuse this time, I'll have an excuse!!"
Ruan Yu said with a sneer.
"Then… let's go!!"
Xiao Fan raised an eyebrow, his smile becoming even brighter.
With a Xuan Immortal Realm expert backing him up, what was there to fear?
Damn it!
Xiao Fan took the lead, left the residence, and walked towards Zhao Shiqu's store, which was 500 meters away.
That imposing and arrogant appearance was simply asking for a beating!!
They aren't fools!!
"It's you again. What are you doing here?"
Zhao Shiqu was still sitting behind the counter. Hearing someone come in, he looked up and glanced, his expression turning extremely gloomy when he saw it was Xiao Fan.
"What? Can't I come and see my own property?!"
Xiao Fan mocked.
"According to the contract, as long as I haven't voluntarily left, this place still belongs to me. Even you don't have the right to come in!!"
Zhao Shiqu's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot, and he said through gritted teeth.
"I didn't say I wanted to take back the property. Can't I just come in as a customer and take a look?"
Xiao Fan chuckled coldly.
"Get out~"
"You're not welcome!!"
Zhao Shiqu roared impatiently.
"Oh?"
Xiao Fan narrowed his eyes, smiled slightly, and said:
"Since Shopkeeper Zhao is so uncooperative, then we have to have a good chat today. According to the contract, I leased this place to you, and the rent is indeed 20% of the profits, but it seems there's also a minimum limit!!"
"What minimum limit?"
Zhao Shiqu's face became even more unsightly.
With his temperament, it would be a miracle if his store had good business.
"Why don't you take out the contract yourself and take a good look."
Xiao Fan said with a hidden smile.
"You're talking nonsense. When we signed the contract, there was no… what?"
Seeing Xiao Fan's calm and composed appearance, Zhao Shiqu panicked for a moment and hurriedly took out the contract to check.
This look.
He was instantly stunned.
Because he was surprised to find that there was indeed a minimum limit in the contract, at least 10,000 Profound Spirit Crystals per month.
Which is equivalent to one immortal stone's rent.
Actually.
According to the traffic on this street and the business of other stores.
10,000 Profound Spirit Crystals a month is really not expensive.
It can even be said that it is very cheap.
It is impossible to find anything cheaper than this.
The rent of other stores is several times, or even dozens of times, this number.
"Impossible, it's fake, it must be fake. I clearly don't remember having such a clause!!"
Zhao Shiqu was extremely furious, and a strong killing intent even arose in his eyes.
"Sister Yu~"
"This guy wants to kill me!!"
Upon seeing this, Xiao Fan immediately shouted towards the door.
"Shopkeeper Zhao, what's the matter? You want to kill my little brother!!"
Ruan Yu took a slow step into the store, not concealing her peak Xuan Immortal Realm aura, and questioned coldly.
"Instructor Ruan?"
Zhao Shiqu actually recognized Ruan Yu's identity. He was surprised at first, and then his face became even more unsightly:
"He's your little brother?"
"Yes~"
Ruan Yu nodded lightly:
"So, Shopkeeper Zhao, I wonder what you want to do to my little brother?"
"N-nothing!"
Zhao Shiqu shook his head with a dark face, forcibly suppressing the killing intent in his eyes, and roared at Xiao Fan again:
"Then… what exactly do you want?"
"Either pay up or get out! I've already been very lenient before and didn't cause you any trouble. But you've been giving less and less profit sharing. What's up? Are you planning to freeload?!!"
Xiao Fan had already checked. The 20% profit share that Zhao Shiqu took out was only a mere ten Profound Spirit Crystals.
The difference from 10,000 Profound Spirit Crystals is a bit too big.
Xiao Fan even suspected.
That those ten Profound Spirit Crystals were just Zhao Shiqu feeling embarrassed and taking them out himself.
With a store like his.
It would be a miracle if he had any business at all!!
As for why Xiao Fan knew the previous profit-sharing amount.
That was, of course, the data provided by the system.
For the system, doing this little thing is quite simple.
"I have no money!!"
Hearing Xiao Fan's words, Zhao Shiqu, like a local ruffian, stiffened his neck and roared with a face that was sometimes red and sometimes black.
