Gu Wenheng and his wife had already discussed this. The properties they owned were drawing too much attention. This was the perfect opportunity to offload some of them.
However, seeing these people actually jumping at the bait still left a bad taste in their mouths.
"Have you arranged everything on your end?" Gu Wenheng asked.
Jin Qianqian replied, "I've already instructed the shopkeepers in various regions. If those people make a move, we'll shut down all the shops and sell off the inventory at a low price. As for the locally hired staff, the shopkeepers will provide them with some severance pay. Once they finish handling the matters at hand, they'll return to Fu County. But with this, I'll have a lot of people under me. Do you think we should arrange the next steps in advance?"
Gu Wenheng asked once more, "Are you really planning to let our second son take over this mess?"
