The business is struggling.
And the person at the store is a middle-aged woman, close to forty.
Outsiders think she's the owner, Li Jingsheng thought so too.
Until Ou Qinglan told him that the middle-aged woman at the store was hired by her father for three thousand yuan a month to watch the store.
At first, Li Jingsheng found it puzzling.
The rent alone costs at least eight thousand.
With just a few dried goods like raisins and walnuts on display and hiring someone for three thousand to watch the store, it's unlikely they'd even make back the capital.
Later, after thinking it over, he realized how clever Ou Qinglan's father was.
Because when the clinic was opened there, someone had recently died, so it couldn't be rented out at all.
Now they simply renovated it and sold some dried goods, not to make money, but to gradually dilute the impact of the death.
Buying the storefront saved them hundreds of thousands, even losing a few months isn't a big loss.
