The previously self-assured woman in the business suit was stunned into silence by Liu Ergou's words.
Liu Ergou wasn't finished. "Of course, you could also lease the wasteland in the next village over," he continued. "That's your freedom, after all. I can't stop you! But I feel I should remind you, there's no shortage of wasteland in the five or six villages around here. To lease so much of it just to let it sit idle… Are you out of your mind?"
The woman in the business suit was so flustered she couldn't speak. She had been so focused on finding some leverage against Liu Ergou that she hadn't considered the consequences. In the end, she had only managed to shoot herself in the foot. Her composure shattered completely.
Seeing her standing there in stunned silence, Liu Ergou waved his hand dismissively. "Alright, if there's nothing else, you can leave. I have things to do, so I won't see you out."
