Lin Qinghuan smiled and looked at Dong Wenbo, saying, "Perhaps it's true, as you said, that my expectations are too high."

Dong Wenbo chuckled and said, "Tell me, where do you want to open a supermarket? Maybe I can help you."

Lin Qinghuan's eyes lit up upon hearing this, and she quickly said, "I hope the shop is larger, preferably at a three-way intersection, in a place where people gather."

Dong Wenbo looked at Lin Qinghuan's bright, star-like eyes and smiled, "Your standards are really high. No wonder I haven't been able to find a suitable shop."

Lin Qinghuan chuckled lightly. She was in business to make money, so of course she wanted to find the most satisfactory shop.

Dong Wenbo said confidently, “It’s hard to find a store with a large storefront right now. I have a property in the city center, just across the street from Mingzhu Square. Many parents bring their children to play in the square. It’s a great location. The shops facing the street are suitable for opening a supermarket. I have a few shops facing Mingzhu Square, but I asked for a bit too much and they haven’t sold yet. I plan to keep them to open a restaurant.”

Lin Qinghuan gave Dong Wenbo a deep look. Holy crap! This guy thinks he's a sucker. Does he think he's that stupid?

Thinking of this, Lin Qinghuan touched her face and looked at Dong Wenbo, asking, "Do I look like an idiot?"

"Are you trying to trick me into buying your unsellable house, or are you selling it to me cheaply because of Wei Xiao?"

Dong Wenbo rolled his eyes at Lin Qinghuan after hearing her words, "I'm a businessman, I never do business at a loss. Wei Xiao's face doesn't matter when it comes to money."

"However, for Wei Xiao's sake, I can rent it to you."

"What, are you worried I don't have the money to buy it?" Lin Qinghuan asked with a smile.

Dong Wenbo smiled. Wei Xiao wasn't home. Although Lin Qinghuan had a wealthy grandfather, he wouldn't suddenly give her so much money to buy a shop. Dong Wenbo was genuinely worried that Lin Qinghuan wouldn't have the money to buy a shop, which was why he suggested renting it to her.

"Brother Dong, are you free now? I'd like to go and see your shop, to see if it's as good as you say," Lin Qinghuan said to Dong Wenbo.

“Sure, the shop is a bit far from here, take my car!” Dong Wenbo said.

"Okay, thank you for your help," Lin Qinghuan said politely.

"You're welcome. I also want to sell the shop," Dong Wenbo said.

Lin Qinghuan and Wei Hong got into Dong Wenbo's car and drove all the way to Dong Wenbo's shop.

Dong Wenbo showed Lin Qinghuan the shops and asked with a smile, "There are five shops here. If you want, I'll sell you two and keep three to open a restaurant."

"The location is indeed excellent. The two storefronts combined together cover 200 square meters, enough to house a small supermarket," Wei Hong said.

Li Ying also thought the supermarket's location was good and asked, "Brother Dong, how much is it per square meter?"

"One hundred and sixty-eight yuan per square meter?" Dong Wenbo replied.

When Lin Qinghuan heard Dong Wenbo ask for an exorbitant price of 168 yuan per square meter, she finally understood why his shop was not selling.

"Brother Dong, ordinary people work hard all year round and can only save a hundred or so yuan. You charge 168 yuan per square meter, that's really expensive," Li Ying joked.

Dong Wenbo chuckled, “This is the city center, where every inch of land is precious.”

Li Ying saw parents playing with their children in the square across the street, and residents gathered around. The location of the shops was perfect for opening a supermarket, but the prices were too high. Buying five shops would cost about 100,000 yuan. She couldn't ask her grandfather for that much money, so she could only take out a few pieces of jewelry from her spatial storage to buy them.

"Brother Dong, I want all five of your shops. Could you lower the price?"

Dong Wenbo thought Lin Qinghuan would only buy one shop at most, but he didn't expect her to buy five shops right away. His face showed surprise, and he asked incredulously, "Qinghuan, five shops require a lot of money. Are you sure you want to buy all five shops?"

"Yes, but I can't come up with that much money all at once. I need to raise it," Lin Qinghuan said.

After a moment's thought, Dong Wenbo said, "I can hold the shop for you. Since we're acquaintances, I can sell it to you at a lower price."

"How much cheaper is it per square meter?" Lin Qinghuan asked hurriedly.

“One hundred and fifteen or eighty yuan per square meter,” Dong Wenbo said.

"Deal." Lin Qinghuan said with a smile, "Let's find a place to eat, and then we can talk more."

Looking at Lin Qinghuan's radiant smile, Dong Wenbo was filled with mixed emotions. Everyone thought Wei Xiao had found a country girl and was secretly laughing at him. Unexpectedly, Wei Xiao had a discerning eye and found a golden girl.
