The price wasn't cheap, that much was certain, but he had gone further by suggesting that if Feng Ershu didn't have the money, he shouldn't be aiming for such a good shop, and could settle for a cheap one in a more remote area instead.
The contemptuous looks accompanying such insulting words were enough to infuriate anyone.
Feng Ershu couldn't recall how he had walked out of the shop that day, his eyes filled with the image of the smug Mrs. Deng renting the shop to others.
At that moment, he had made up his mind to secure this shop for himself, if only to see how deflated Mrs. Deng would appear when the time came, and regret her earlier decision.
The problem was, the money he had was nowhere near enough to afford such a fine shop in such a great location. His only option was to resort to schemes.
For example, tarnishing the shop's reputation.
