She said, somewhat embarrassedly, "In the past few years, I've been living a life of confusion, not managing the shops and estates left by my parents properly, basically teetering between profit and loss. This time, after leaving the Jie Family, although Lord Jie gave me quite a bit of silver, I've almost used it all up in reopening Manxiu Building. If I were to expand the business further, I'm afraid I'd have to sell the shops and even the estate, which would require some time."
Gu Youyou said, "You can sell some of the estate, but you can't sell the shops. The future chain of ready-made garment stores will rely on your family's shops! Some well-located shops can't just be bought with money."
Miss Du said with difficulty, "That may be true, but the estates aren't worth much, only a few well-located shops left by my parents are worth some silver."
