Hong Kong is in full swing

This question was like a sudden stone thrown into the lake of my heart, causing ripples.

The housekeeper then signaled the staff to move her luggage away and guided her quickly into the room to rest.

"Welcome back. Hot water is ready for you. Please take a bath to relieve your fatigue from the journey."

Faced with such warm and considerate service, even though she felt a little embarrassed, Yu Wan still politely thanked them: "Thank you, but can you use another title instead of 'Madam'..."

Obviously, she was not used to such an intimate title.

"Okay, I understand, miss. I'll pay attention next time."

After receiving a positive answer, Yu Wan closed her eyes helplessly to avoid further discomfort.

After all, it is not easy to adjust one's identity in such an environment, especially when facing so many strange but very friendly people.

After a bath and a delicious meal prepared by a top chef, she immediately threw herself into her work tasks.

The company recently plans to open a branch in the local area, so site selection has become one of the important issues that need to be resolved urgently.

In order to live up to expectations and carry out subsequent work processes as quickly as possible, it is essential to choose a location that is convenient for transportation and popular.

She had already locked on the target location long before the trip, contacted the local real estate agency in advance, and arranged all the details of the on-site inspection in detail.

In order to save other people's time and avoid unnecessary trouble, she declined the company's offer of a private driver and drove to her destination alone.

Shortly after the greetings, the agent said with a guilty look on his face, "I'm so sorry, Miss Yu, the place you originally reserved has been taken by someone else."

Hearing this, Yu Wan frowned, "But I remember I already paid a deposit as a reserve fund? What's going on?"

The other party hastily clarified, "Please listen to my explanation. You may have misunderstood the specific circumstances. We absolutely have no intention of violating the contract. Instead, the new landlord directly negotiated an agreement with the other tenants. We only learned of this yesterday."

After hearing the news, although Yu Wan was full of questions, she decided to go to the scene in person to take a look, hoping to find a turning point.

However, the actual situation was far more complicated than she had imagined - a familiar face appeared in front of her, Duan Fei.

He smiled and greeted her: "Hey, isn't this our beautiful manager? What a coincidence!"

Yu Wan could only manage a faint smile, and after a few polite words, she got straight to the point: "From what you said, you are the tenant here?"

The other party raised his eyebrows slightly and asked, "Oh, so you are interested in this shop too?"

Yu Wan nodded in affirmation. "This place is nice and of a moderate size. I was very optimistic about it and had been planning to come here to sign the contract, but I didn't expect you, Young Master Duan, to get there first."

Duan Fei smiled and said with a bit of pride, "Then we are really destined to meet. We both chose the same store. But now it seems that this store is more suitable for me."

After saying this, he added: "In fact, I have already bought this store. Take a look at this property transfer document."

As he spoke, Duan Fei took out a few pages of official documents from his briefcase and showed them to the other party.

After a moment of silence, Yu Wan didn't say anything more and simply turned around and left the place.

Just as she was about to get in the car, Duan Fei stopped her again, his tone revealing a hint of persistence and unyieldingness: "Manager Yu, we are destined to cooperate and make money together."

His eyes revealed an almost begging sincerity for cooperation, as if he was expecting the other party to reconsider.

But Yu Wan didn't give him any good look at all. Her face was still cold and there was no change in her expression.

She closed the car door with a light push and continued to look for other suitable stores under the guidance of the agent.

At that moment, her heart was filled with firm belief.

The more he looked, the more he felt that the bunk that Duan Fei had snatched was too ideal, almost impeccable.

The location, traffic and rent are all very satisfactory.

This made Yu Wan feel even more unwilling, and the anger and regret in her heart became stronger and stronger. It seemed that there was an invisible force that gradually magnified this sense of loss.

The agent who was following nearby felt very guilty as he saw Yu Wan's face becoming increasingly gloomy.

He quickly flipped through the list of properties in his hand, trying to find a good option that could make up for the missed opportunity.

Suddenly, he slapped his forehead, "Oh no! How could I have forgotten about this store? This is definitely a rare and great place!"

There was a glint of excitement and hope in his eyes.

Yu Wan raised her head slightly and looked at him, "Is there any other good place?"

His tone was much softer, but there was also a hint of barely perceptible anxiety.

"Yes, there's a good one. The location and size are perfect for a gallery or something like that."

The agent replied hurriedly, obviously not wanting to miss this rare opportunity to perform.

After learning the address, Yu Wan quickly started the car and headed towards the destination. After about twenty minutes, she arrived at the designated location and stopped the car.

Then she quietly walked out of the driver's seat and looked around carefully.

I saw a small shop with locked doors and windows standing in the middle of a quiet and peaceful street.

She frowned slightly and looked doubtfully at the agent beside her who looked uneasy, waiting quietly for him to give a reasonable explanation.

"This place looks a bit remote and deserted, doesn't it?"

This sentence sounded more like a soliloquy to herself, but she still did not neglect to give the other person enough space to express himself.

Sensing the faint questioning in the air, the agent hurriedly began to explain: "Ms. Yu, don't be fooled by the fact that this place seems deserted now, but it's actually in a very good location."

To make his words more convincing, he added that the area is surrounded by places with a strong cultural atmosphere, such as art museums and galleries, and most of the nearby residents are artists or family members with high academic backgrounds. Therefore, if a high-level professional art gallery is opened here, it is very likely to have good development prospects.

Despite this, "the owner is not willing to rent or sell the place."

After hearing this answer, Yu Wan couldn't help but hold the key tightly in her hand, staring at the closed door and fell into deep thought: the space layout here just meets the needs, and the geographical location is also very advantageous. What is the reason that makes the owner unwilling to let go?

With many questions in her mind, she turned to her agent again and asked, "Is there anything special about this store?
