Bai Erlang enjoyed engaging in these kinds of schemes with people the most, primarily because it didn't require much mental effort. He could still come out on top and secretly make others suffer losses. Just thinking about it made him so excited that he could eat more than half a bowl at dinner.
Mingda initially found it quite troublesome, unable to experience any of this enjoyment. But seeing Bai Erlang refuse Bai Shan and the others' invitations for two consecutive days just to go to New City and keep an eye on the manager renting out the shops, she joined in the fun alongside him. As long as she saw the manager's smile start to stiffen, she'd feel quite pleased and begin to understand the thrill.
Thus, the couple started running to New City together every day, sitting in the shops and watching over the manager's dealings with traveling merchants who came looking due to the posted notices.
