"What's going on?" Ge Puzi frowned. "Steward Chen's attitude changed far too drastically."
Dongfang Xuan said, "He was only enthusiastic at first to test our strength. If we could afford to rent one of the three storefronts, it would mean we were worth his attention. If we didn't even have that much power, then there would be no reason for him to pay us any mind."
"But when he saw we weren't satisfied with any of the three properties, he naturally assumed we thought the price was too high. That's why his attitude changed."
"That's the reason?" Ge Puzi asked, stunned. He spent most of his time at the academy and rarely encountered such situations, so his understanding wasn't as deep as Dongfang Xuan's.
"That's likely the reason," Ye Xuan said with a smile.
