Back To The 80s: President's Doted Wife

Chapter 761: Chapter 761: Reclaim Joy Soon Loy and Sell It Off

Sister Wang wiped away her tears and said, "A full ten thousand yuan, we can’t come up with that. After many discussions, we finally set the amount at five thousand five hundred yuan."

Five thousand five hundred, not a lot, but in this era, it wasn’t too little either; it was half of what a ten thousand yuan household would have.

Although the integrity of a person can’t be measured with money, what happened had happened, and there was no other way but to negotiate a solution.

"Although we act as this supplier, we are only middlemen. There’s the money that has to go to the fruit farmers, and the customers don’t settle their bills promptly, so our cash flow is also limited."

Cheng Su understood and immediately said, "I’ll notify our finance department right away and settle up with you."

"No, no, that’s not what I mean!" Sister Wang stuttered, "Even if we settle up, there won’t be enough money, so, so..."

"How much are you short? If the amount isn’t large, I might be able to lend you some," Cheng Su hesitated and said.

Sister Wang’s face turned redder upon hearing this, and she said gratefully, "You’re a good person, but I’m not here to borrow money."

"Then what is it...?"

Sister Wang pursed her lips and said, "You’re our family’s benefactor. We really don’t want to trouble you. If it wasn’t our last resort, we wouldn’t have thought of this."

Cheng Su was confused.

"Well, my family and I have discussed it, and, it’s about the house we have now in Joy Soon Loy, we want to take it back and sell it, because we really don’t have enough money!" Sister Wang said with a flushed face.

Cheng Su’s expression changed; taking back and selling meant they no longer wanted to rent it out.

"Big sister, we really have no other choice!" Sister Wang also knew her request was excessive, especially since the other party had helped her a great deal.

Cheng Su quickly regained her composure, and after thinking it over, she asked, "How much do you plan to sell the house for?"

Sister Wang, taken aback, said, "We’ve asked around, and for a house in that area about the size of ours, it would sell for something like six or seven thousand."

Cheng Su let out a quiet sigh of relief; six or seven thousand was still manageable. After all, Fa Ji, a much larger restaurant, was priced at a hundred thousand!

If she bought this house, she could add more floors on top in the future, creating more space.

"What’s the specific price?" Cheng Su had an idea in mind.

Sister Wang looked at her hesitantly, and probing, she asked, "Big sister, are you thinking of buying it?"

Cheng Su gave a bitter smile and replied, "Sister Wang, you know that our Joy Soon Loy is currently growing its business. If you suddenly take back this house, how can we continue to run our business? Even if you sell it to someone else, they might not want to rent it to me. So I might as well buy it myself!"

Sister Wang, feeling embarrassed, her face and ears turning red, said, "I’m sorry, we really had no choice. We were pressed urgently by the other party and didn’t have any money on hand, so..."

"I understand; you’re also in a tough spot," Cheng Su sighed and said, "Let’s do this, go back and discuss it with Brother Wang, and decide on a specific price for me to consider. If it’s suitable, I’ll buy it, how about that?"

Sister Wang bit her lip and replied, "I don’t need to discuss it with him; I can make the decision. If you want to buy it, just make an offer, and I will sell it to you. It’s just that, as you know, given our family’s current situation, the money would have to be paid in one lump sum!"

Cheng Su laughed upon hearing this, "We can’t rush this; you should still go back and talk to Brother Wang. I also need to discuss it with my family before I can decide!"

Sister Wang could only agree to this, and they arranged to meet again the next day, then she hurried off.
