Previously, Gu Fan had negotiated with the boss a price of 300 Yuan per spot, since the ten or so spots on the second floor of the cafe were basically always vacant, without frequent patrons, so selling one or two wouldn't be too damaging.
But now that Gu Fan suddenly needed 10 spots, it became a bit awkward—the vast majority of the second floor's vacancies would be filled, potentially affecting the cafe's normal operations.
After all, renting an entire floor of a commercial property in such a location couldn't be dismissed with just 3,000 Yuan.
With no other options, Gu Fan eventually came to terms with the boss, securing the entire second floor of the cafe for 5,000 Yuan a month.
Even so, this was still much cheaper than the nearby office community.
Gu Fan's principle was: cut company expenses where possible! The money saved would go towards employee bonuses!
Strictly speaking, the company wasn't Gu Fan's but Lilith's.
