Unexpectedly, a familiar voice rang out: "Old Yang, what are you doing?"

Lin Jinyue turned around and saw Xie Hong standing not far away.

She frowned.

Could this shop belong to Xie Hong's family?

Sure enough, the next moment Old Yang said, "Young master, this shop is not making money and is losing money every month. I was thinking that we might as well sublet it."

Xie Hong: "If we lose money, we don't have to rent it out."

Old Yang wanted to insist a little longer: "But, young master... you spent 70,000 taels of silver last time and pawned some things, so we don't have much money left..."

Xie Hong, as if his tail had been stepped on, angrily said, "Does this young master lack that little bit of silver?"

Old Yang said nothing more, only smiling apologetically at Lin Jinyue.

Lin Jinyue didn't take it seriously.

After all, Xie Hong helped her buy so much land.

Haven't you heard people say that Xie Hong is almost broke and has pawned a lot of things?

Lin Jinyue smiled and greeted him before leaving.

Xie Hong whispered a few words to his subordinates and then left looking displeased.

Lin Jinyue continued to wander around.

Actually, she wasn't that demanding about the store's location.

What she sells is hard to replace. Even if the location is a bit out of the way, as long as her reputation is established, she will definitely have no shortage of customers.

What Lin Jinyue didn't expect was...

She inquired at several other shops afterward, but failed to close any deals!

There were even two shops where the price had been agreed upon and the contracts were about to be signed, but after the servant came over and said a few words, the two managers decided not to rent them anymore.

Lin Jinyue understood at this point and said to her brother, "How could I not suspect that Xie Hong is the one pulling the strings behind the scenes?"
