Chapter 1569: 1568

Maid Yinzhu replied on his behalf, "My young Master has specifically come to visit Master Jia."

As she spoke, she handed over a visit note, and presented a box, "This is a meeting gift from my master for Master Jia."

The Jia Mansion gatehouse delivered the visit note inside, and before long, Su Qingyue and her servant were invited into the hall of the Jia Mansion.

A round and plump man of about fifty years old sat in the chief seat of the hall. He glanced at Su Qingyue and her servant; since Qingyue had changed her appearance, she looked quite ordinary to an outsider and did not attract much attention to her appearance. The man asked aloud, "Does young Master Su have business with me?"

Seeing his face as rosy and plump as a Maitreya Buddha, Qingyue couldn’t help but smile and said, "Master Jia, I’m honoured to meet you. Frankly speaking, I have a deal I wish to discuss with you."

Jia Baoyu, who was having difficulty turning over his business, thought of liquidating some assets for cash. Currently, in the capital city, he was looking for buyers for a few shops, "Is young Master Su interested in buying my shops?"

"Mr. Su has moved from another place and has only bought five store units in the capital city so far," Qingyue said with a smile, "Actually, I do intend to purchase a few more shopfronts."

Upon hearing this, Jia Baoyu became polite as well, "I am in need of money, and I suppose young Master Su has heard about it and thus has come to visit, right?"

"Something like that."

"Then the price is negotiable," Jia Baoyu said. Although a merchant, he was experienced in business, "Currently, I’m planning to sell the five shops I own, located in the north side of the capital city. Although the location isn’t the best, it’s still a bustling area. As for the price, it follows the one listed at the pawnshop, which can’t be lowered."

"I think it’s still too expensive. How about a 10% discount?"

"This..." Jia Baoyu was quite tempted when he heard it. The price he posted at the pawnshop was already 10% higher than the market value, so even with a 10% discount, it would still match the market price. During his absence, the housekeeper had reported that many had come to discuss the store, some offering as little as a 40% discount, with the highest offer being only a 20% discount.

He urgently needed a large sum of money to turn over for another deal and thought about selling even at an 80% discount, not expecting to be approached by someone who would pay so readily.

Afraid the other party might change their mind if he blatantly agreed, Jia Baoyu feigned hesitation, "Someone has offered up to a 5% discount. young Master Su, this is what I’ll do since I see that you are a good person and have sincere intentions, I’ll sell it to you at the same 5% off rate first."

"Done," Qingyue agreed without hesitation.

Hearing this, Jia Baoyu chuckled internally, regretting not sticking to the full price since the young man was so easy to talk to, "When shall we transact, then?"

"Anytime is fine," Qingyue replied, then continued, "Master Jia, I’ve heard that you have a hill in the suburbs of the capital, planted with various kinds of fruits, right?"

Jia Baoyu had bought several hilltops, "Which one are you referring to?"

She stated the location.

"Oh, I own six hills, all planted with some fruit, but unfortunately, they don’t grow too well and aren’t easy to sell. Is young Master Su interested?"

Qingyue lied without changing her expression, "That’s right. As the only child in my family, I’ve just taken over our business. Also, finding our old home not as spacious as the capital city, I believe business is better done here. Consequently, I’ve sold all our family estate back home. Having arrived in the capital city and finding it so bustling and vibrant, I’ve taken quite a liking to it and don’t plan to return to my hometown. Therefore, I’ve decided to relocate our ancestral grave here."

Maid Yinzhu interjected, "In the past few days, my young Master has been looking at many plots of land in the suburbs and has taken a liking to several hilltops, including one that belongs to Master Jia. My young Master wonders if Master Jia has any plans to sell the hilltop that caught my young Master’s eye?"
