However, when Zhuang Qingning entered the shop, she carefully observed that the blue bricks on the floor had loose spots. Likely due to the passage of time and accidental water seepage, one of the bricks would wiggle when stepped on.

So that’s how it is.

Zhuang Qingning glanced downwards, then followed Mrs. Deng to check out the rear of the shop.

There was a small courtyard behind the shop, with a couple of rooms.

“The shopfront is spacious, and while the backyard might be a bit small, the two rooms can be used as storerooms. The other room can be adjusted to living space.”

Mrs. Deng introduced, “There’s also an open space in the courtyard. If you want to cook, you can build a thatched canopy and set up a stove.”

“Let me tell you, Miss Zhuang. It’s hard to find a shop like this in town even with a lantern. If you miss it, you really won’t find another one like it.”

Indeed, it’s a hard-to-find shop, and there is no other shop like this in town, one with bad feng shui. You sure know how to talk, making black seem like white.

Only those who know the ins and outs can see through this. Those who don’t know might be fooled by you.

Zhang Yongchang made a face, ready to argue with Mrs. Deng and let her know that she shouldn’t talk big.

But with Zhuang Qingning present, and the shop was being rented for her, it wouldn’t be appropriate to start an argument with Mrs. Deng, which might affect her leasing, so he suppressed his displeasure for the time being.

While Mrs. Deng was eloquently praising the shop, Zhuang Qingning was listening with a light smile, occasionally nodding her agreement.

This attitude couldn’t be called bad, but it definitely couldn’t be called enthusiastic either.

Mrs. Deng, mid-speech, stopped. She turned to Zhuang Qingning and asked, “Isn’t the shop okay?”

“It’s fine,” Zhuang Qingning replied.

Such a response, Mrs. Deng had heard numerous times. From the moment she first walked in, all she heard was “it’s fine”, “pretty much”, “that’s how it is”, “probably so”.

This made Mrs. Deng a little nervous, and her spirit was a bit down.

They say that the buyer sets the price, and the more interested someone is in a product, the more intensely they will find its flaws to negotiate the price. They don’t want to pay more than they have to.

Just like what Zhang Yongchang just did, saying that the shop had bad feng shui just so she wouldn’t ask for a high price, and he could also bargain for a cheaper price.

Mrs. Deng saw this clearly and knew how to respond. But faced with Zhuang Qingning’s nonchalant attitude, neither praising nor criticizing, Mrs. Deng didn’t know what to say for a moment.

“So, are you going to rent the shop, or not?” Mrs. Deng was a straightforward person, so she asked directly.

“Since I came to see the shop, I definitely want to rent it,” Zhuang Qingning replied with a smile. “I just don’t know if you’re willing to rent it out?”

“What are you talking about? Since I put up a sign, how could I not want to rent it out?”
