Manager Lin can still make a lot of money by selling the house for two hundred taels of silver. After all, there is also the commission for the middleman. If he doesn't make any money, how could he set this price?
What's more, Su Liuer came here by herself and didn't bring any middleman with her. That means that after the transaction, Manager Lin doesn't have to pay the middleman a commission, so he makes even more money.
So when he saw Su Liuer was about to leave with a desperate and bitter look on her face, he quickly changed his words and said:
"No, I didn't explain it clearly. You misunderstood me, little brother. I didn't reject that buyer this morning because I wanted to raise the price. I'm not that kind of person! I rejected her for other reasons."
Su Liu'er frowned and asked curiously, "Since that person can afford two hundred taels of silver, why don't you sell it? Could it be that there's something wrong with your house, so that person doesn't want it anymore? It's not you who rejected her, but she who rejected you?"
As Su Liuer spoke, she hugged the small package in her hand tighter, looking very worried and nervous, as if she had run into a bad guy.
Shopkeeper Lin was so puzzled that he said with a somewhat unhappy expression:
"My house is in great condition! I didn't sell it to her because she offended someone important. It's not my house that has a problem, it's her as a person!"
"Ah... so that's how it is..." Su Liuer nodded as if she understood, but still looked a little defensive.
Shopkeeper Lin said with a straightforward expression, "There's absolutely nothing wrong with my house. I can take you to see it right now. If you're okay, just pay me and we can go through the paperwork right away!"
"I've already seen it." Su Liuer said.
Shopkeeper Lin was taken aback, then he heard Su Liuer say somewhat embarrassedly, "I asked the middleman to take me to see it, and then I secretly took note and found out about you. I thought it would be better to give you the two hundred taels of silver, so that the middleman wouldn't have to make money on both ends."
"Okay! You're quite a smart guy. Now that you've seen the house, shall we go straight to the transfer procedures?"
Shopkeeper Lin felt that he was really lucky. He had originally thought that he would not be able to put the house up for sale through an intermediary in the short term, but in the end, a buyer came to him in person.
And you don’t have to pay commission to the middleman!
It’s so good!
Su Liuer looked at the happy smile on Shopkeeper Lin's face and asked softly:
"Manager Lin, if I buy this house, will it offend the buyer you rejected this morning? If she can offend such a powerful person, she must be someone important herself, right?"
"Well..." Shopkeeper Lin was stumped by the question.
He did ask about this Madam Su, and she did have some abilities, though.
"Don't worry, this big shot is a big shot in our Longcheng! The buyer doesn't have the ability to go against her, otherwise I wouldn't dare to deliberately not sell it to her."
Su Liuer looked at the thumbs-up from Shopkeeper Lin and said in surprise, covering her mouth: "Isn't the most important figure in Longcheng our Longcheng prefect?!"
When Gu Hongwei was mentioned, Manager Lin quickly shook his head and denied it, "That's not Lord Gu." He didn't dare to put the blame on the prefect.
He came forward and whispered to Su Liuer, "It's Madam Gu."
"Mrs. Gu? It is said that husband and wife are one body, so that means Mr. Gu." Su Liuer acted as if she was relieved.
Shopkeeper Lin smiled and said, "You're right, that's exactly the point, so you can rest assured! Then shall we go to the government office to handle the formalities?"
"Okay, let's go!"
