“I’m not worried about the land, and I’m sure you wouldn’t go so far as to cheat me,” Shi Jing said. “However, I still need to clarify some things.”
“Of course,” Zhao Xunkan said. “You can ask any questions you have. We were reckless this time, and there was really no other way.”
"No need to say that. With the land in hand, you're not trying to get something for nothing."
Shi Jing thought for a moment and asked, "First of all, how much are you asking for this land? Is the land intact? Can the transfer of ownership be completed in a timely manner?"
Shi Jing had a reason for asking this question. If Qin Yi had mortgaged the land directly, then everything else would have been for nothing.
"The land... the land is still there. The market value is two hundred million now, but I... I urgently need the money, so I can give you a twenty million discount," Qin Yi stammered. With the Qin family's wealth, the other party didn't ask Qin Yi to provide collateral.
“Okay.” Shi Jing nodded. “Paying for the paperwork is something that can’t be kept secret.”
"Then, secondly, does this land belong to the Qin family, or to you personally?"
Land around Beijing is also in high demand, costing at least hundreds of millions. Shi Jing didn't think Qin Yi had that kind of wealth. If the land belonged to the Qin family, buying it might not be a good thing for her.
"It's...it's mine."
"Are you sure?" Seeing Qin Yi's guilty and short-breathed appearance, Shi Jing felt a little guilty.
"It's really mine," Qin Yi explained. "I wanted to start a business, and my family supported me."
"In that case, why don't you just ask your family for help? Surely they have a way to help, right?"
At this moment, Zhao Xunkan spoke up to explain, "Qin Yi's family situation is somewhat complicated."
Jiang Qingyue's face also showed some complexity.
It seems there's a story behind it.
"Thirdly, are there any debt disputes related to this land? Including compensation payments, investment disputes, and whether all fees have been settled?"
"The compensation has all been settled. Our Qin family has had this land for several years now, and everything that needed to be dealt with has been taken care of," Qin Yi replied.
"What about investment disputes?"
Qin Yi looked at Zhao Xunkan and Jiang Qingyue. Zhao Xunkan sighed, "We did invest money, don't worry, I will ask the Qin family for that money back. As for Qingyue's..." He then glared at Qin Yi, "You must return it immediately."
"I...I understand," Qin Yi murmured.
"With these conditions, it shouldn't be too difficult to sell, right?" Why do the three of them seem so anxious?
Zhao Xunkan sighed helplessly: "It's not difficult, but it's not easy to come up with that amount of money all at once."
Shi Jing was also somewhat helpless: "I can indeed come up with this money, and if the land is really as you say, then the conditions are indeed quite good. However, Brother Xun Kan, as your friend, I feel it's necessary for me to ask you."
As he spoke, Shi Jing gestured in Qin Yi's direction: "If he continues to gamble and borrow money at exorbitant interest rates in the future, will you bail him out like you did this time?"
Shi Jing considered him a friend, which is why he asked him that extra question.
Zhao Xunkan gave a self-deprecating laugh: "You think too highly of me. This is the only time. After helping him resolve this, I'll have done right by our brotherhood. As for the future..."
He then looked at Qin Yi and said, "After this matter is resolved, I will tell your father the truth. From now on, you should take care of yourself."
Shi Jing didn't understand why he wanted to deal with the situation first before telling the parents, but she could tell that Zhao Xunkan was a soft-hearted person. Since he had said so, she didn't say anything more.
"I need a day to prepare. We'll go to complete the transfer on Friday, the day after tomorrow. Once the transfer is successful, I'll transfer the money to you directly." After saying that, she looked at Zhao Xunkan, "Will that be enough time?"
Compared to Qin Yi, Shi Jing still felt that Zhao Xunkan was more reliable.
"Okay, I'll find a way to delay things with the loan sharks."
Seeing that Zhao Xunkan agreed, Shi Jing felt relieved. As for how the other party planned to stall, she didn't want to interfere; after all, there were legitimate and illegitimate paths. She just needed to focus on her own.
With the matter settled, Shi Jing was about to leave. Zhao Xunkan quickly got up to help her with her books.
"I'll take you home. Thank you for your help today. Consider it an obligation I owe you."
"The favors of the second young master of the Zhao family are very valuable. It seems I've made a profit." Shi Jing couldn't help but laugh at him.
After saying goodbye to Jiang Qingyue, Shi Jing returned to the car, opened the planning document, took a picture of the address, and sent it to Miao Chen.
"Miao Chen, could you check on this address for me tomorrow?"
"Okay, little boss."
Shi Jing didn't hide his actions from Zhao Xunkan when contacting Miao Chen, not because he didn't trust them, but simply out of caution. Clearly, Zhao Xunkan was also aware of this.
Miao Chen drove there and confirmed that the scene was no different from the photos.
"Okay, I understand. Tomorrow I'm going to transfer the land and sign the contract. You'll come with me. Today, draft a contract, similar to the one for the Yangdong land. Remember to clearly outline the debt allocation."
"Okay, little boss."
Shortly after hanging up the phone, Shi Jing was about to read a book when her phone suddenly chimed with a notification.
She put down her book, turned on her phone, and saw a message from Fang Ning at the top of her message list.
"Shi Jing, are you free on Saturday noon? I'd like to invite you to lunch."
"Sure, send me the address and time."
She and Fang Ning would occasionally keep in touch, but he was just too busy. This was only the second time he had contacted her in the new year; the first time was during the Lunar New Year when he was visiting her.
"It really has been a long time," Shi Jing sighed. Who would have thought that the shy, stammering child from back then would now be such a formidable figure in his field?
The transfer of ownership on Friday went very smoothly. After the transfer was completed, Shi Jing immediately transferred the payment to the other party.
Zhao Xunkan and the others were also eager to resolve the usury issue, and Shi Jing also needed to go home. The two sides didn't exchange many pleasantries and went their separate ways after leaving the hall.
As for how this matter will be resolved, that's not Shi Jing's concern.
With the new land in hand, she hadn't yet figured out what to do with it.
How about we go there during the summer vacation? That way we won't have to call her to come back to Tianyuan City and then have to come up with an excuse.
Come to think of it, Jian Rong, who lives in the dormitory, is also from D City. I wonder how far it is from her home.
Remembering this, she sent a message to the five-person group chat in the dormitory: "Jian Rong, which part of D province are you from?"
"Hey Shi Jing, why are you asking about this? My home is in Huai City, D Province."
Shi Jing looked at the address of the land: Qingfeng Mountain, Huai City, D Province. It was quite a coincidence.
"I'm planning to go to D province for summer vacation, I'll come find you then."
"Shi Jing, are you going out to play during summer vacation? Count me in!" Nan Zhuowen responded enthusiastically.
"Come and have fun! Everyone is welcome to come and have fun. The scenery of Qingfeng Mountain is beautiful. There used to be a big boss who wanted to build a mountain resort here, but unfortunately, construction never started."
"......"
Isn't that a bit too much of a coincidence?
