Some of them stared at the shops they wanted on the map, while some of them glanced at their potential competitors.
All of them wanted to be able to get the shop in their preferred location.
Lin Xuan Qi saw how enthusiastic they were and he didn't want to waste this moment.
"Young master Chew, have a seat with your friends first." He gestured to them and said.
Young master Chew and his friends took out whatever seats were left in the main hall.
The servant girls quickly brought out more chairs from the mansion to let those who couldn't get a seat have one.
Lin Xuan Qi went to his room to get some of the things ready.
He took some brushes, ink, and paper to the main hall.
After which, he distributed them to Old Heng, young master Chew, and their friends.
"I shall announce the bid for which of the shops first, then you will write the rent you want to offer on the piece of paper and chop it with your seal.
"Once all the offers are in, I shall announce the winner for the bid.
