After leaving the hotel, Zhou Qing had just gotten home and was about to take off his clothes for a shower when Wu Erbao's call came through. As soon as the call connected, Erbao said, "Brother Qing, Cao Ming says he needs to think it over. Your asking price is too steep."
Zhou Qing had anticipated this and responded indifferently, "Got it, let it be."
Upon hearing this, Wu Erbao became anxious, "Brother Qing, don't do this, what should we do next?"
Zhou Qing pondered for a moment and said patiently, "This is a big deal, they will definitely need to think it over carefully. Just go on as usual, eat and sleep as you would, pretend nothing has happened, and wait for them to come to you."
Wu Erbao paused for a moment, "That's it?"
"Listen to me, you won't go wrong," Zhou Qing was too lazy to explain over the phone, "You don't need to do anything, just wait for them to take the bait."
"Oh," Wu Erbao agreed with a half-understanding after hearing him say so.
