Seeing Fang Qingyuan about to leave, Steward Zhang stopped him and said,
"Nephew Fang, don't be in such a hurry to leave. There may be no spots left in the Celestial Gate Mountain Marketplace, but that doesn't mean other marketplaces don't have openings. Why not look around a bit more?"
Hearing this, Fang Qingyuan stopped in his tracks. He looked back at Steward Zhang, waiting for him to continue.
Steward Zhang smiled and continued,
"It's nearly impossible to find a shop in the Celestial Gate Mountain Marketplace, but Black River Square has plenty of vacancies. If you go now, the prices are even discounted. How about it, Nephew Fang?"
Seeing Steward Zhang's smiling face, Fang Qingyuan finally started to understand. 'So, he was waiting for me here all along.'
'No wonder he kept stringing me along for so long even after telling me there were no shops. So this was the real sales pitch.'
