Chapter 8 - Buying A Shop And Make It A Nice Recording Studio 1

"If that's what you want then go ahead. You had really grown up. Thinking so far ahead and got everything covered." The old man let out a satisfied sighed. I guess I really need to enjoy my old life this time. But before that, I need to find my grandson.

"Hmm. Let me do what I had to do, grandpa. Just enjoy yourselves. Don't worry about us youths. Me and He Rue will be fine."

"Okay, then. Let's go inside and get dinner."

###

In the dining room, the four of them sat in a rectangle mahogany table for six people. The dish are simple, there are chicken stew, garlic rice and sweet brownie for dessert. Even though the dish is simple it was simply delicious!

"Right, what did you buy in the mall to be this home late?" Grandfather Fu spoke.

"We bought some sweets and clothes. Of course, we won't forget to buy something for the two of you."

A touch of excitement traveled in the eyes of the two old men. Min Ju and He Rue looked at each other with raise brows and took the two medium boxes from one of the shopping bags.

"I notice that grandfather is not wearing a watch so I bought you a Rolex one."

"Dad, I bought you one too. Well, actually, it was Min Ju who bought it."

The two gave the boxes and stared at both older men with eagerness as if waiting for compliments.

"Thank you Juju. This is really good. I like it."

"This is really a good watch. Thanks Miss Ju and thank you Ruerue."

"Your daughter chose it for you. And please, Uncle He. Call me Min Ju or Juju. We are all family here."

"That's right, father!"

"As you wish, Miss—Juju."

"Hehe, that's better."

After dinner, He Rue help Min Ju get the piano keyboard and the guitar. They both lifted the keyboard together, and on the the other of Min Ju's hand is the guitar.

...

"So, in the morning were going to find a studio and hire some people. We should not forget that we have a stranger's birthday party to attend to." He Rue wrote the things they were going to do for tomorrow.

"En. However, it's hard to hire people these days. We need loyal, honest, and trusted people to take care of your father and my grandfather. I don't want anybody without loyalty who'll definitely stab us at the back." Min Ju said scrolling through her tablet, searching for a small decent studio to buy. She's not really searching for a 'studio' but just wanted to buy a space where she can quietly create her music.

Finally, she found one. The area is conveniently closer to her home. It was a former CD Music Shop. It got close down since people nowadays listen online.

Min Ju directly send a message to the person for meet up tomorrow at 10am. She wanted to buy it immediately.

A man in his 30's and a young man stared at the lit old phone, reading the message that they have receive.

Someone actually wanted to buy their store! Finally!

"Dad, I'm not imagining things right?" The young man ask.

"You're not. I'm seeing this message too. What did the buyer said?"

"He said that we have to meet him tomorrow at 10am near a nearest Cafe. Should I go? Or you should go?" The young man asked his father.

"We should both go. Maybe he'll treat us to a coffee." The father shamelessly said and clap his hands.

The next day, both father and son dresses up neatly to meet their potential buyer. Walking to the nearest Cafe, they thought the buyer wasn't still there so they waited. However, a text pop up in the young man's phone. It reads, "Already here. Where are you? I'm wearing a black shirt."

It was still 10 am and the coffee shop only had the four of them. The both of them carefully approach the two girls.

"Hi, my name is Lin Zhu. Are you the one who message us?"

"Yes. My name is Min Ju." She reaches out her hand to make a handshake. The young man also reaches his hand to not embarrassed her. He felt that her hand is soft and smooth.

"Please sit down. Let's drink some coffee first before we get down to business." She amicably said and sat down first with her friend. Both the men also sat humbly.

Lin Ke in the first place remain silent. The girls in front look rich but not arrogant. Not like those a**hole who trampled others because they have money.

"Waiter!" Min Ju raise her hand to call a waiter. A man in his black uniform rushes towards them and ask for their orders.

"Me and my friend here would like a cappuccino." She then look at the people opposite them. Waiting for their order.

"Ah, um. I think I'll take a cappuccino too. What about you father?" Lin Zhu look to his father.

"I'll stick to the black coffee, please." The man hurriedly answered.

"Oh, yeah. You should bring us 4 cake mousse." He Rue added.

"Sure. I'll go make your order. Please wait a minute." The waiter said and left.

"I would like to go see the area first before deciding the price. It should not be a problem, right?" Min Ju spoke first.

"Sure. The shop is actually spacious and has a second floor. I hope you'll like it there."

"I'm sure. I saw the photo you sent me."

The coffee and slices of cakes arrives. Min Jun didn't speak anymore and they sipped and eat their fill quietly.

"Ah, black coffee really is good!" Lin Ke commented.

"Thanks for the treat Miss Min." Lin Ke thank her. It has been a while since he tasted black coffee. As a poor man he cannot help but be hurt that that he cannot take care of his son. Instead, his son is the one taking care of him. It's good that someone wants to finally buy his old but good CD Shop.
