Upon hearing the voice, Chen Jing felt secretly annoyed.
If we can't cut things quickly, will we have to raise the price later?
Not only Chen Jing was nervous, but also Du Wei and Zhao Hui. Chen Jing had promised that they would get a commission if the shop was bought. Who wasn't here to make money?
Amidst the watchful eyes of the crowd, a young man with a cold demeanor and arrogant expression slowly entered the teahouse with two attendants.
The leader was a very handsome man with deep-set eyes, a European-style sculpted face, and fair skin, which made him look noble and aloof. He wore a well-fitting Zhongshan suit, exuding a cold and ascetic air.
He walked slowly into the teahouse, his disdainful gaze casually sweeping over Chen Jing and the others before finally settling on Wang Hua.
Just like the David sketches in Ji Xia's paintings, handsome, noble, and captivating, even the well-traveled Chen Jing was somewhat stunned when he saw the man in front of him.
He quickly came to his senses, and seeing the mocking look in his eyes, he couldn't help but sneer a few times.
What good is it if a man is handsome? He's just a pretty boy. Even if Ji Xia were here, he wouldn't have anything to worry about.
"I am Lin Chen. This must be Mr. Wang. We contacted each other the day before yesterday."
Lin Chen condescended to extend a hand: "Mr. Wang, businessmen value integrity above all else. You haven't forgotten our agreement, have you?"
Chen Jing couldn't help but sneer: "He just brought me here to look at the shop, how is that a breach of trust? You made an appointment and didn't show up, who's to blame?"
Wang Hua felt a little guilty, but upon hearing this, he realized that it made sense; the Lin family had only made an appointment with him to look after the shop, and hadn't confirmed that it was definitely necessary.
Thinking of this, he smiled faintly: "Mr. Lin, I just brought him here to take a look."
Lin Chen glanced coldly at Chen Jing, who was acting like a petty hoodlum.
After assessing Chen Jing's identity in his mind, he abandoned Chen Jing and the others.
He pointed indifferently to his wristwatch: "Mr. Wang, we agreed to meet at 3 p.m., and it's 2:58 now."
So, it's not that they're late, it's just that the time hasn't come yet.
Wang Hua smiled awkwardly: "Okay, Mr. Lin, the time is just right, let me show you around."
"Alright, I assure you, as long as we Lin family members like it and the price is fair, we will definitely not back out of the order."
As soon as Lin Chen finished speaking, Chen Jing laughed and said, "Mr. Wang, our Chen family has already set our sights on you. Name your price."
Lin Chen frowned slightly. Before he could speak, one of his followers pointed at him and shouted angrily, "What are you talking about? Who gave you the right to speak when our young master is talking?"
Chen Jing scoffed, glancing at his two henchmen on either side. Wang Yuan immediately rushed out, saying, "And who are you? My boss hasn't even said a word yet, what are you barking like a dog for?"
"You—heh, your mouth sounds like a gangster right off the bat. This isn't a place for petty thugs like you to fight like this. Get lost—"
The attendant's condescending gaze and tone immediately enraged Wang Yuan and Zhao Hui.
They were indeed petty thugs before, but they have recently reformed and started earning legitimate money. Why should we call them petty thugs?
Just as Wang Yuan was about to rebuke him, Zhao Hui tugged at him, pretending to be in pain as he wiped his nose: "What's this smell? It smells like manure wafting from the countryside? You rarely come to the city, don't you even know to take a shower and brush your teeth?"
Upon hearing this, Wang Yuan suddenly realized that the three people spoke with a slight accent from another region, indicating they were not locals.
He suppressed his anger and shook his head and sighed dramatically, "Oh no, I forgot to wear a mask today. Only a country bumpkin could stand this strong smell of manure."
Upon smelling the faint scent of cologne, Chen Jing, who was feeling an itch in his nose, was about to mock the pretty boy for wearing perfume like a woman, but he was immediately speechless.
He suddenly remembered what Ji Xia had told him: in the eyes of people in the capital, people from places other than Beijing are all country bumpkins.
Upon hearing this, the two attendants' faces turned angry. Were they from Shanghai or from the countryside?
The two men's henchmen and underlings confronted each other, gesturing and shouting encouragement in front of their boss.
Lin Chen's disdainful gaze swept over his followers, and when he looked at Chen Jing, who was smiling behind him, he felt inexplicably annoyed.
He gave it a cold glance, then turned to Wang Hua and said, "Mr. Wang, let's get down to business. I'd like to take a look at the house."
Wang Hua quickly led him inside, explaining things as they went.
Chen Jing beckoned to Du Wei: "Comrade Du, it seems this is a bit difficult. Is there any way you can help me get it?"
Du Wei couldn't help but smile wryly. In fact, no matter who wanted the store, they would eventually have to come to him to complete the formalities.
But Chen Jing achieved his wish. He had 100 yuan in extra income. He worked hard every month to earn this little bit of salary. Who wouldn't want to earn some extra money?
Of course, he wouldn't dare to cause trouble or prevent them from transferring the property and obtaining the property certificate.
He shook his head and sighed, "Comrade Chen, whether to sell or not, and to whom to sell, is the homeowner's right. There's nothing I can do about it."
"Who says you can't do it?"
Chen Jing grinned mischievously, beckoned him to come to the side, and whispered a few words in his ear.
Du Wei's eyes lit up, but after a moment he shook his head: "If that's the case, would you still want it even if he raised the price to two or three times?"
"I certainly wouldn't accept two or three times the price, but I could accept it if it increased by three to five thousand."
As for whether the other party can accept it, Chen Jing doesn't care.
If the other party can't accept it, that's best; he'll just accept it himself. If the other party offers a higher price, Chen Jing will accept the loss, since he hasn't suffered any loss anyway.
Du Wei thought for a while and finally nodded.
It wasn't his fault that the other party paid more. But since Chen Jing won the bid, he can make a profit, so there's nothing wrong with that.
Du Wei indeed paid attention to the conversation between Wang Hua and Lin Chen. When he saw that Wang Hua had accompanied Lin Chen around twice and then started talking about prices, he immediately perked up.
While Lin Chen was calculating the value of all the supplies in the store and determining the most reasonable price, Du Wei leaned close to Wang Hua and whispered a few words.
Upon hearing Du Wei's advice, Wang Hua looked in surprise at Chen Jing: "Are you serious? He's really willing to raise the price?"
"Of course, he admitted it himself."
Wang Hua hesitated for a moment: "Could he be deliberately driving others away and then deliberately lowering the price?"
Many people already think 18,000 is too high.
"He said that if the deal goes through, we can go to the bank to withdraw the money immediately, and the money will be exchanged for the property certificate at the same time. It can be done this afternoon."
Wang Hua was immediately intrigued. The Lin family of Haishi was a century-old family with considerable influence in Haishi and other coastal cities in the southeast.
But what impact will his plan to move his whole family to Hong Kong Island have on him? If we're talking about impact, selling an extra thousand or two thousand would be a good thing for them.
