Su Shen paused for a moment, his eyes narrowing as he explained, "This all started because my friend got burned—he didn't understand the market. Old houses and courtyard houses are practically unsellable right now. What he's thinking now is to offload them at a loss, just to get some cash flow back. It's better than holding onto them indefinitely."
Gu Zi thought it over, her brow furrowing. "Selling at a loss seems like such a bad idea. Why not hold onto them for a bit longer? Wait and see how things turn out?"
Su Shen shook his head. "That's what I suggested, too. The properties are in prime locations in the capital, and while things are tough now, it doesn't mean there won't be a turnaround. But my friend wants to focus his efforts on another project, and he doesn't want to keep investing in this one."
