Chapter 2150: Chapter 2150: Settled
Shu Yu was silent for a moment. If it were someone else, she would definitely try to haggle.
But the other party was Cen Yi…
And she was already selling it for two thousand taels less than her estimated price. If she haggled further and word got out, it would fuel much speculation outside.
Since Cen Yi was so straightforward, Shu Yu did not hesitate, “Then five thousand taels.”
Cen Yi breathed a sigh of relief, but then she heard Shu Yu say, “You are selling this shop to me at a low price, and I’ll introduce you to Doctor Zhao, that’s no problem. But let me say this upfront. Doctor Zhao hasn’t taken your pulse or examined you yet, so he doesn’t know your specific condition. If he can’t cure you, then you…”
“No matter, we agreed beforehand; our deal is only the introduction.” It doesn’t include necessarily curing her.
If curing her was a condition, then Cen Yi would have to give Shu Yu a shop for free.
In fact, one shop might not even be enough.
Shu Yu felt at ease seeing that she understood.
“When will the transaction take place?” she wondered if Cen Yi had brought enough silver notes, as she wasn’t sure if the other party was prepared.
Unexpectedly, Cen Yi took out a contract, “This is the shop’s contract; we can do it now.”
Shu Yu realized how eager she was. She brought out the silver notes, “Alright, then let’s get it over with swiftly. Let’s go to the Office for the transfer of ownership while there’s still time, and then head back to my place for Doctor Zhao to check you out. By the time we’re done, he should be back too.”
Cen Yi’s eyes lit up. If they could finish everything in one day, it would be ideal.
“Then let’s go.”
Cen Yi first found a staff to package all the makeup products Shu Yu had selected earlier. The quantity was quite large, and the prices were not cheap.
The staff internally marveled at the sight, no wonder this guest was attended to personally by the boss. It turned out to be a big client.
The shopkeeper was also pleased; it had been a long time since such a big spender visited their shop.
Everyone in the shop thought Shu Yu was simply a big customer; no one suspected that the shop was about to change ownership.
Only one staff member’s eyes flickered, and after Shu Yu and Cen Yi left, he found an excuse to run out of the shop and head to another makeup store not far away to report the news.
Shu Yu and Cen Yi, both fast in action, completed the shop ownership transfer with a quick exchange of money and goods.
As they left the Office, both women breathed a sigh of relief, looking satisfied with their accomplishment.
Then they got into a carriage and headed straight to the small courtyard in the south of the city.
Unlike the earlier silence during their journey here, this time they exchanged a few more words.
As they were nearing the small courtyard in the south of the city, Shu Yu tucked away the contract, raised her head, and said to the slightly nervous Cen Yi, “Since you sold the shop to me cheaply, how about I give you a piece of information?”
Cen Yi was taken aback and, along with the nanny, looked up, “What information?”
“Weren’t you curious about who the secret informant in your shop was?” Shu Yu smiled, “It’s that staff member on the first floor, the one with a slightly narrow face and big eyes, who is always smiling. Just now, when I brought out a bunch of makeup products, my maid didn’t follow me out. She waited outside the shop for a moment and saw that staff member sneakily go to another makeup shop, and soon after, he came out again.”
Cen Yi’s face changed slightly, she gritted her teeth and said, “So it was him.”
Shu Yu nodded, actually having another thing to say, but she felt it might not be appropriate to say it out loud, so she kept quiet.
The nanny, however, noticed her hesitation, “The county magistrate can feel free to speak.”
