At the mention of this, He Meng felt bitter. “Why is it so difficult to find a suitable office now?”

She made an appointment with two agents a day in advance and went to five places in a day, but she was not satisfied with any of them. “Of course, I’m not satisfied with all of them. Not really. I quite like one of them, but it’s too expensive.”

Yu Han asked, “How much is it?”

“About 460 square meters. The monthly rent is just over 100,000 yuan.”

Yu Han hissed. “That’s indeed not cheap.” On average, it was about seven yuan per square meter a day. It was almost twice as expensive as ordinary commercial office space.

The place He Meng mentioned was in the creative park in the west of the city. It was not too far from the city center, and the transportation was convenient. Moreover, the surroundings were not desolate, so it was quite convenient to rent a house.

This place was not part of her office viewing plan at first. It was only when she was not satisfied with the fourth office and was about to bid farewell to the agent that the agent suddenly received a call. He said that the original owner quit and wanted to sublet the office and entrusted him to release the office.

The agent saw that it was nearby and the conditions met He Meng’s requirements, so he asked her if she was interested in taking a look.

Seeing that it was not too late, He Meng went over to take a look. She liked it.

This was a three-story loft building converted from an old warehouse. There was a red brick wall more than two meters tall around the building, and there was a courtyard inside. Once the door was closed, it would be private. It was quite convenient for them to open an artist studio.

There was originally a coffee gallery here. When they went to take a look, the things in the shop had yet to be packed, so there were some easels everywhere.

He Meng took a look. The renovation was still very stylish and tasteful. If they could get it, they would not have to make any major changes. This would save them a lot of trouble. The lighting, location, and so on were all not bad. There was also a large balcony on the third floor with a wide view.

It could be said that this was the most satisfactory place He Meng had seen today.

He Meng took a sip of the coffee that the owner had specially served and realized that it tasted quite good, so she asked the owner curiously, “Your place is well decorated and the coffee tastes good. It’s also located in the Creative Industrial Park. Logically speaking, business shouldn’t be too bad. Why are you thinking of subletting it out?”

The owner hesitated for a moment and decided to tell the truth. “You haven’t been to this industrial park for a long time, right?”

He Meng nodded. “I haven’t been here since I graduated from university.” After all, when work in the entertainment industry got busy, the days and nights were often reversed, and her schedule was irregular. Hence, she would rather lie at home to rest and sleep during the rare holidays. After work, she no longer had the leisure time to go out and admire exhibitions or art parks like when she was in university.

In He Meng’s impression, this industrial park was still the same as it was more than 10 years ago. There were many customers gathered here.

When the agent heard that the owner was so honest, he looked anxious and hurriedly wanted to change the topic. The owner shook his head at him and said frankly, “It was indeed quite lively here in the past, but that was a few years ago.”

Speaking of the Creative Industrial Park, the reason why it could develop was because there were abandoned old factories everywhere in the past. It was a waste for those factories to be abandoned. Hence, the government rented them out at a low price. This attracted a large number of young art workers to come and formed extremely unique art parks, driving the tourism industry.

Later on, a developer took a fancy to the value inside, so he bought the entire park and wanted to build a commercial creative park. Creative parks like this were no exception. After being bought by a developer, the park began to undergo reform.

It was just that although the idea was beautiful, very few people could successfully transition.

That was because the background of the creative park was still art and a large number of artists from all over the world, not high-priced products from major chain stores.

As the commercial district was developed and the rent increased day by day, the poor art students could not support the consumption here. Hence, they evacuated in large batches and took away the bones here.

Without its characteristics, the Creative Industrial Park was no different from an ordinary business district. From then on, there were no tourists and a large number of customers left. Even small shops like them could not continue.

The shopkeeper smiled bitterly. “Most of the shops in the park that can still continue now are chain stores.”

He looked at the tables and chairs in the shop, as well as the various decorations on the wall. He had bought them bit by bit over the years. Now, they had to be transferred..
