How Could They Run Away?

Zhao Mingzhu snorted coldly and said, "You just said 120,000 taels, and now you've changed your mind. Aren't you just trying to fool people?"

Zhou Wanwan looked at Zhao Mingzhu and said:

Everything in our house has a clearly marked price.

For example, low-grade timber costs only 60,000 taels, medium-grade timber 120,000 taels, and high-grade timber 180,000 taels.

Zhao Botong frowned and said, "I always feel you guys are unreliable, let's just forget it! My Zhao Family doesn't only own this one house."

A few neighbors gathered around and said, "Wow, this house is really that beautiful!"

Zhou Wanwan nodded and said:

"Not only are they beautiful, but we will also help you repair these gardens."

Furthermore, we will provide free on-site repairs for any issues within one year.

We have contracts here, specifying clearly what kind of wood is used.

Everyone crowded around and said:

"That's quite nice. I've got my eye on this set. I don't want to use fancy wood; regular wood will do."

Little girl, how much is this set?

Zhou Wanwan quoted a price. "This is a small apartment, only 30,000 taels. The wood used is pine, elm, and locust, very sturdy."

"Little girl, are you sure you can make this decision?"

"If a six-year-old child runs away, we won't be able to find him."

"That's right! Little girl, are you still drinking milk? Do your parents know you're doing business?"

Zhou Wanwan looked at them and said, "Have you inquired about Wanwan Delivery? I'm the owner of Wanwan Delivery, so of course I can make the decisions."

"Wanwan Delivery? I've never even heard of it. What if we pay and you run away? Who are we supposed to contact?"

"Yes! The key is just one child."

Zhao Mingzhu scoffed and said, "She's just a little liar, don't fall for her tricks."

The Great Qi snorted coldly and said, "You dare to do any kind of business? You've got some nerve. If I asked you to get some weapons, would you be able to get them too?"

Zhou Wanwan chuckled and said, "That's definitely not going to work. I don't want to break the law."

She could actually accept money, but it wasn't appropriate to say it in public.

The Great Qi looked at Zhou Wanwan and said, "Is there anything you wouldn't dare to do?"

"Yes, yes, okay. If you need to book a room, we have floor plans here, and someone will register you."

"And you don't need to pay the full amount, just one-third," Zhou Wanwan said.

An old man nearby said, "One-third? Aren't you afraid we'll run away?"

Zhou Wanwan smiled and said:

"What kind of talk is that? Those who can afford to build houses are all rich and powerful, why would they run away?"

Besides, they've already signed and sealed the agreement.

A man with a beer belly walked out and said, "I'm here. I've got my eye on this one that costs 60,000 taels. Does that mean I only need to pay 20,000 taels?"

Zhou Wanwan nodded and said, "That's right."

"Alright, I don't just want one, I want to build three of these houses, that'll be 60,000 taels of silver for you, right?"

Zhou Wanwan hummed in agreement.

"Okay, three sets."

Zhou Wanwan quickly arranged the contract, and they signed it.

The man said, "You can finish it in three months? Hah, that's too hasty. You can build three houses in three months?"

That's utterly delusional.

As Zhou Wanwan signed the papers, she said, "This is not something you need to worry about."

Many people don't believe that these houses are so cheap.

The people living in this neighborhood are all wealthy and powerful, so naturally they wouldn't care about this small amount of money.

Although Xin'an County is close to the border, it is a relatively prosperous small county.

Most importantly, this area is home to many powerful and influential families; it used to be the site of the imperial capital.

Later, the capital was moved to Luoyang City, mainly because it was too close to Yanmen Pass.

It only takes a little over an hour to get there. If other countries attack, we simply can't hold it.

That's why they migrated south.

These powerful families have been rooted here for so many years, they certainly don't want to leave!

Everything was left here.

Therefore, there are many wealthy people in Xin'an City; they are incredibly rich.

Zhou Wanwan signed more than a dozen contracts and said, "Okay, write down the location and register your requirements. I'll arrange it as soon as possible."

Someone said, "Miss Zhou, you must arrange this for me first! My son is getting married soon, and our house is so dilapidated that it's uninhabitable."

"My house is in bad shape too. My daughter is getting married soon, so we need to build a new house quickly."

Zhou Wanwan looked at them and said, "Don't worry! I'll get it sorted out for you as soon as possible, and it won't delay your wedding."

Zhao Botong sneered, "You've taken so much money, and you expect to build so many houses within three months? Do you think you've done a good job?"

"I won't take on a job I'm not qualified for, but as long as I have the contract, I can definitely do it."

Zhao Botong chuckled and said, "Alright, alright, let's wait and see!"

He'd paid the deposit, and if these people didn't pay the rest, he'd like to see how Zhou Wanwan would handle it.

Some people saw a business opportunity and bought more than a dozen houses at once.

Zhou Wanwan accepted all the offers, after all, there was money to be made!

There are actually quite a few trees in the deep mountains, and some of them are devoid of sentience.

Trees without sentience can be used to build houses, not to mention that sometimes there's no need to cut them down at all.

Some old houses can be demolished and rebuilt, becoming new houses.

The house was painted with a layer of clear varnish, and it looked brand new.

These are all cost-saving measures. The most cost-effective one is that Zhou Wanwan doesn't need workers; those tree people are very good at it.

In other words, Zhou Wanwan was able to build the house with almost no cost.

Now, Shuren has a team that specializes in building houses. All team members have undergone professional training, and the houses they build are excellent.

Furthermore, they have developed some new materials for decorating houses, so the houses they build are both beautiful and practical.

Zhao Botong didn't trust Zhou Wanwan, so he naturally wouldn't place an order, and Zhou Wanwan didn't force him.

She looked at them and said, "Then I'm leaving now. Your house is in such a state that it's uninhabitable. You need to move out as soon as possible."

The Great Qi said, "You can't leave. The recent events are all related to you. What if you're the mastermind behind them?"

Shen Tao sneered:

"I didn't expect the Great Qi to be so good at making connections. Am I the one investigating the case, or are you?"

Zhou Wanwan, you can leave if you want. Our Great Qi wouldn't go so far as to kill a six-year-old child.

The Great Qi said, "What do you mean by that? Are you implying that I'm going to completely destroy Zhou Wanwan?"

Shen Tao chuckled and said:

You know what you want to do.

Your Highness, do not force others to do things they are unwilling to do.
