Gu Wenheng expressed his gratitude and then led his men back to the manor.
As soon as he entered the rear courtyard, Jin Qianqian was already waiting for him.
"I'm preparing to lease three storefronts, and the owner seems to be trying to curry favor by offering an extremely low rent."
The moment she saw him, Jin Qianqian immediately said, "I know they're just trying to get on our good side, but I don't dare take advantage of a deal like this."
Gu Wenheng said, "Rent them at market price, or not at all.
Lord Liang just called me over. The plan I wrote has been rushed to Shangjing. I need to start my preparations here, so if you have your own plans, you'd be better off buying a plot of land and building from scratch."
Jin Qianqian said, "That's a good idea, but I'm worried it might have a negative impact on you?"
After all, developing the nearby land would be a form of unofficial expansion.
