After being reborn, the young master returned to his village and led his wife and daughters to prosp

Compared to ordinary people, these top business leaders are indeed remarkable, but compared to the big shots who attended that day, they are worlds apart.

There was nothing they could do; after all, Mr. He's older brother was one of the highest-ranking leaders in their Nancheng City.

As for the leaders who attended that day from the provincial capital, they were figures who could shake the entire city of Nancheng and even the entire provincial capital with a stomp of their feet. Naturally, businessmen like them were not even in the running.

Manager Hu knew a little about Miss Zhu's background. She came from a small county and was the daughter of the local county magistrate. Of course, there was nothing to look down on about such a background; it was much better than his own as the manager.

But he had just made a fool of himself by calling her a country bumpkin from the county, which inadvertently included Miss Zhu in his insults, so it's no wonder she was so angry. He wasn't even in the right; if that got back to Boss He, he'd be finished.

"Hmph, Manager Hu, I never intended to have any misunderstandings. Perhaps we people from small towns do look like country bumpkins to you?"

Miss Zhu was indeed relentless, continuing to coldly watch Hu Guanghua and launch into sarcastic remarks.

Hu Guanghua was almost in tears, but he didn't know how to explain.

His eyes darted around anxiously, and suddenly he caught sight of Lin Fan to the side, and an idea came to him.

"Miss Zhu, this is a misunderstanding. By the way, didn't you come here to discuss business? Let's talk business first, and I'll apologize to you after we're done, okay?"

"Sir, please have a seat. You're looking to rent a shop, right? We happen to have a very nice shop on the first floor. It's a prime location, originally reserved for our own company, but if you'd like, sir, how about we rent it to you?"

In this era, commercial buildings like these generally do not have a zoned operation model.

For example, in the future, even in an ordinary shopping mall, the areas selling different products would generally be separated. For instance, the first floor would sell clothing, the second floor would sell appliances, and the third floor would sell electronic products, and so on.

In this era, such a concept doesn't exist. Even in a high-end and fashionable shopping mall like Hang Lung Plaza, various shops are arranged in a staggered manner, and the prime location is undoubtedly the shops on the first floor.

After all, with people coming and going, the first thing anyone sees when they enter Hang Lung Plaza is the various shops on the first floor. Regardless of whether they actually need to buy anything, the exposure is certainly increased, which is a form of invisible advertising.

Therefore, prime locations on the first floor are usually very expensive. Given the size of Hang Lung Plaza, the annual rent would probably be at least 50,000 yuan!

What does this mean? To give a simple comparison, Lin Fan rented a 2,000-square-meter factory in an industrial park for only 50,000 yuan a year, while here, even a small shop costs that much in rent for a year.

It's easy to imagine how wealthy and extravagant the merchants who have moved into Hang Lung Plaza are.

The exorbitant rent alone is enough to scare away most people, leaving them with no way to proceed.

"Hmph, Manager Hu wants to talk business, is that it? Fine, then I'll have a proper talk with you."

Miss Zhu saw that Hu Guanghua showed her no respect whatsoever and directly took her seat in the main office. Her demeanor and aura were completely different from when she usually interacted with Lin Fan.

That makes sense. She was originally the daughter of the county magistrate, and now she's married to an extraordinary person. She's surrounded by all sorts of important figures every day. Birds of a feather flock together, and spending time with people like that naturally cultivates one's own imposing manner.

“This is a good friend of mine. He runs a luxury goods business in our county. Not only that, but it’s also a government-supported enterprise in our county. I’ve known him for quite some time. Since we’re from the same county and we have some connections, I’ve decided to shamelessly rent a shop here from you.”

"Of course, we also admit that my friend may not be qualified to stay here for the time being, so I originally came with a sense of apology, hoping that Manager Hu could give me some face. Now it seems that I overestimated myself."

"It's already a favor that Manager Hu, who comes from a small county, even gave me a second glance, right? How could I dare to ask for anything more?"

Hu Guanghua wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and quickly said, "No, no, Miss Zhu, you are too kind to me. What I said before was just a misunderstanding. I have never looked down on people from small towns."

"Besides, this young man has managed to turn luxury goods into a government-supported enterprise in your county, so he must be quite capable. He certainly deserves to rent a shop here."

“Miss Zhu, and this young man, I apologize to you. How about this, there’s no need to discuss it further. That shop is in a prime location on the first floor, so I’ll rent it to you as the first choice.”

Hu Guanghua gritted his teeth and made a final decision on the matter.

Clearly, neither side is a fool.

Miss Zhu is, after all, the daughter of the county magistrate. How could Boss He's wife be so petty as to hold a grudge over a single unintentional remark?

Perhaps he had indeed offended Lin Fan, but given Lin Fan's status, he figured he would just make a few sarcastic remarks and then laugh it off.

The reason Miss Zhu keeps bringing this up is quite clear: she's after business. Since that's the case, I must show my sincerity and make concessions.

Both sides are seasoned foxes, and they've already subtly and successfully conveyed this subtle meaning to each other.

Upon hearing this, Miss Zhu nodded in satisfaction and turned to Lin Fan, saying, "Brother Lin Fan, what do you think? Do you think Manager Hu's request is acceptable?"

Lin Fan naturally saw through the swordplay and the invisible battles within.

Having already gotten such a great deal today, how could I possibly say no? So I quickly nodded and said, "Yes, that's perfect."

"If that's really the case, then I don't know how to properly thank Manager Hu."

Lin Fan raised his head, still smiling as he looked at Hu Guanghua.

He knew that Hu Guanghua was only being obsequious now because of Miss Zhu.

It has absolutely nothing to do with that guy surnamed Lin. If he dares to be so arrogant and take advantage of others, then Hu Guanghua certainly wouldn't dare to do anything to him now, and would definitely be polite to him on the surface in the future, but who knows if that guy has any tricks up his sleeve.
