Chapter 267: Negotiating the Two Sides
In front of everyone was a young woman with a bun on her hair, who looked to be about seventeen or eighteen years old.

The woman had an arrogant look on her face, and her actions seemed to suggest she was bossing around. Her condescending attitude made everyone feel uncomfortable.

Li Yaren wanted to make money but had no way to get involved with this woman, so he could only place his hopes on old lady Gu, who had rich life experience.

Old Lady Gu first asked Li Yaren: "What will you do if this business fails?"

When Li Ya heard this, he shook his head helplessly and said, "Forget it if it doesn't work. This Miss Chen has money, but she is really difficult to deal with. I don't know who can do her business."

Mrs. Gu nodded and asked, "How much money can I get if I make this deal?"

Originally, Li Ya would ask the old lady to come over for help only when he felt that the problem could not be solved. Naturally, the money was taken one order at a time.

Li Yaren quietly gestured a number to Old Lady Gu.

Old Mrs. Gu had a clue in her mind.

Li Yaren only saw Old Lady Gu cough lightly, then slightly raised her neck and walked to the young woman.

Before Old Lady Gu could say anything, Mrs. Chen, seeing someone coming, immediately started to scold her: "I have made so many requests to you, have you taken them to heart? If you really don't want to do business, why bother letting me waste my breath!"

Seeing that she had taken the initiative, Old Lady Gu was not scared and said, "Mrs. Chen, since you are not satisfied with this house, forget it. When there is a better place, we will come to you again."

After saying this, Old Lady Gu turned around and was about to leave.

Mrs. Chen was anxious: "Old lady, aren't you a broker? Why are you running away? We haven't discussed this house yet!"

Old Lady Gu turned around and said, "I'm not a pawnbroker. You only come to me when pawnbrokers can't solve the problem. I can't do anything about what you're talking about right now, so let's talk about it next time."

Old Mrs. Gu even wanted to take Li Yaren away.

Madam Chen suddenly became anxious. In order to buy a house, almost all the brokers in the capital city came with her.

Most people ran away several times, saying "I'll find her again when I find a good house", but in fact, these people never paid any attention to her again afterwards.

A young and fresh-looking dentist like Li Ya Ren was not originally considered by Madam Chen. She only sought help from anyone else because she was desperate.

Now that this last straw of life is about to be abandoned, how can Madam Chen not be anxious?

Madam Chen was rather timid at this time, and said to Old Lady Gu: "Madam, if that's what you said, I'm going to find someone else."

Old Lady Gu nodded and said, "This is something that we both agree on. Madam Chen, you don't need to say more. Li Yaren and I both understand your feelings."

Madam Chen thought that Old Lady Gu would be anxious, but she didn't expect her attitude to be like this. She couldn't help but feel anxious at this moment.

She had delayed buying a house for too long, and had been living in a rented house ever since, and she never felt at ease.

If she still can't buy a house, she's afraid her husband will blame her.

Madam Chen finally lowered her head, pulled Old Lady Gu and said, "Old Lady, let's not wait until later. Let's discuss it today, how about it?"

Old Lady Gu still looked nonchalant, and said casually: "Mrs. Chen, let's be frank. There is a way to do business. If you really don't want to do business, don't make any embarrassing requests."

When Mrs. Chen heard this, she hurriedly said, "I'm not making things difficult for you. My husband is a scholar, so he has higher requirements for where to live..."

Old Lady Gu glanced at her and said, "If you really want the neighbor's children to stop making noise and if you really want the big trees in the alley to stop blocking your light, you might as well buy all the houses in the alley. That way, no one will dare to block your light or disturb your husband!" Madam Chen felt extremely embarrassed after being squeezed by Old Lady Gu.

But the more angry Old Lady Gu became, the more she tried to coax her.

"Old lady, you have to consider me too..."

Old Lady Gu interrupted her and said, "As the saying goes, those who choose are the buyers. I know you like this house. If you talk nicely, I can help you negotiate the price with the owner. If you keep finding faults, then we won't talk today."

Mrs. Chen didn't expect that Mrs. Gu could see it so clearly, and said, "Although I like this house, it doesn't mean that I am not picky. There are no problems with this house."

"Is it the house's problem that you can't buy a house that completely suits your taste? It's obviously your problem. If you have a lot of money, would you still consider this house?" Old Mrs. Gu asked back.

Mrs. Chen was suddenly speechless.

Old Lady Gu continued, "If you think it's too noisy, you can ask your husband to put some paper balls in his ears. The light in this corner of the yard is not good, so you can move to another corner. There will always be a place that is not blocked."

Old Mrs. Gu spoke so quickly that for a moment, Mrs. Chen was actually frightened.

"Okay, I'll buy it! But I'll have to trouble the old lady to help me bargain a little more!"

Old Mrs. Gu nodded and agreed.

Old Mrs. Gu followed Li Yaren to meet the landlord again.

"Big brother, we want to sell your house for a good price, but the neighbors have many children, and they are noisy and annoying. There is a big tree at the entrance of the alley, which blocks the sunlight in the yard in winter. I don't know how many buyers Li Ya has found for you, but no matter how hard he tried, he still couldn't make a deal!"

"You are in a hurry to go back home, so I advise you to lower the price a little bit, so that you won't end up with such a big loss. Don't you agree?"

When Old Lady Gu said this, Shen Ling and Shen Changfeng were both stunned. This old lady looked ordinary, but she was so skillful in speaking. She could come up with two different explanations for the same problem.

The homeowner was indeed in a hurry to sell the house, and with just a few words, Mrs. Gu persuaded the homeowner to lower the price.

After returning to the house and seeing Madam Chen, Old Lady Gu casually took all the credit for herself.

"Mrs. Chen, you don't know, I've talked so much that I finally helped you get the price down!"

When Mrs. Chen learned that the price had dropped again, her face was immediately filled with joy and she thanked Mrs. Gu profusely.

That same day, Li Ya Ren helped to complete the transfer of the house. Madam Chen received a brand new house deed, and Old Lady Gu had an extra tael of silver in her pocket.

"Grandma Gu, you are so awesome! That Madam Chen seemed difficult to deal with at first. She was arrogant in front of the Li Ya people, but she was like a little lamb in front of you." Shen Ling praised.

Old Lady Gu waved her hands and said, "This kind of person bullies the weak and fears the strong. She is the easiest to deal with. When I saw her and her mouth full of blisters, I knew that she was picky on the surface, but in fact she was more anxious than anyone else."

"So I lied to her and made her submit."

"When facing such picky people, you have to deal with them like this. You can't be too good-tempered!"

Old Mrs. Gu imparted her experience in a very knowledgeable manner.

Shen Ling's eyes lit up when he heard this.
