Fearing someone might steal it, Chen Jing and Wang Hua were both eager to transfer the ownership immediately.
So, after the bank transfer went smoothly, Wang Hua felt much relieved and happily took the property certificate to the housing management office, where he completed all the procedures before the staff left work.
Looking at his name on the property deed, Chen Jing was overjoyed and gripped Mr. Wang's hand tightly: "Thank you, thank you. May Mr. Wang have a great time in Hong Kong. See you in the future, and buy me a drink."
"No problem. Come visit me on Hong Kong Island when you have time. I'll cover your food and lodging, it's on me."
Having earned an extra 7,000 yuan, representing a nearly one-third increase, Wang Hua readily agreed and even packed up all the furniture from the backyard and house for Chen Jing in one go.
Lin Chen of the Lin family was sitting in his car when he received the news and couldn't help but frown.
Is this for real? Or is it that Boss Wang deliberately had someone inflate the price for him?
Which family's idiot is this? The original market value was only 16,000, but they've inflated it by 9,000. Once this gets out, housing prices in Beijing will definitely rise sharply.
This has completely disrupted market prices.
Lin Chen was furious. He had just started planning to buy a few shops in the capital, but his plans had been ruined right from the start.
He snorted coldly and whispered to his two henchmen, "Investigate this man's background and find out who he is."
"Also, have someone keep an eye on this shop and see what they plan to do with it."
The two attendants, Liu Jin and Ma Shaotang, responded, then asked in a low voice, "Young Master, if he intends to do business, should we—"
He made a sarcastic gesture, and Lin Chen's lips curled up slightly: "Give him a lesson."
"Yes, I guarantee he'll be left with a huge financial burden. He won't be able to digest this shop, so we'll have to lower the price and sell it to him later."
Lin Chen sneered and waved his hand: "Let's go back to the hotel."
The car slowly drove onto the road. Lin Chen casually glanced at the side trees by the street and caught a glimpse of the profile of a girl with long, flowing hair.
Her hair was as black as clouds, her skin as white as snow, her eyebrows and eyes as beautiful as a painting, and her red dress was as vibrant and fiery as a rose.
His stunningly handsome face flashed by, and Lin Chen couldn't help but clench his fist.
He suddenly felt his heart pounding like thunder in spring, his mind went blank for a moment and he lost the ability to speak, as if his reason had been invaded and stripped away.
It was just a fleeting glimpse, yet that stunningly beautiful face seemed to be imprinted in my mind. A tingling sensation ran up my spine, shooting straight to the top of my head with each heartbeat, and then spreading throughout my entire body.
He suddenly snapped out of his daze and yelled at Liu Jin, who was driving in front, "Turn around! Turn the car around and chase after them!"
Liu Jin turned around in surprise: "Young Master? Who are you chasing?"
"That girl, the girl in the red dress—"
He pointed in the opposite direction across the street and saw the red figure gradually disappearing into the distance. He became anxious and shouted, "Chase after him! Chase after him right now!"
Ma Shaotang whispered a reminder: "Young Master, you can't turn around here. You have to go to the place where you can turn around up ahead."
That's across the street. Long green plants in the middle of the lane stretch to the end of the road. If they want to turn around, they have to walk straight to the intersection where they can turn around!
Lin Chen also saw the green belt in the center of the road, and his face darkened: "Stop the car, pull over."
"Young Master—"
"parking--"
Liu Jingang pulled the car over to the side of the road, and Lin Chen opened the car door and jumped out, leaving his two henchmen looking at each other in bewilderment.
The young master has always remained calm even when Mount Tai collapses before his eyes, so what's wrong with him today?
Lin Chen quickly crossed the road, ran to the shade of the trees on the other side, and chased after them in the opposite direction.
He chased for a mile or two, running until he was out of breath, but he still couldn't catch a glimpse of the girl in the red dress he had just seen.
Liu Jin and Ma Shaotang turned the car around and returned to Lin Chen's side, asking suspiciously, "Young Master, who were you chasing just now? Did you know them?"
Lin Chen squatted under the shade of the tree, panting heavily, and slowly shook his head: "I don't know her. She's a pretty girl, very fair-skinned, tall and thin, with a great figure, and wearing a red fitted dress."
As he spoke, he gestured and looked around in disappointment: "How many roads and alleys are there around here? How come they all disappeared all of a sudden?"
Liu Jin hesitated before replying, "Young Master, besides the intersection ahead, there's also a bus stop there."
He asked at several alley intersections, and passersby looked at the richly dressed young man with strange eyes, only to see him standing dejectedly at the bus stop, motionless for a long time like a waiting-for-husband stone.
...
Ji Xia got off the bus carrying a heavy backpack. She checked the time; it wasn't even six o'clock yet. She wondered if Chen Jing had returned yet.
She glanced across the street; an enticing aroma wafted through the air.
After hesitating for a moment, Ji Xia gave up on crossing the road and turned to walk into the alley.
Back at the end of the alley, just as she was about to open the door, she heard Chen Jing talking to her neighbor Lin He in the courtyard.
You're back so early? Aren't you playing cards today?
Ji Xia was suspicious, but she opened the door and went inside.
Seeing Ji Xia dressed in a vibrant red outfit, which made her face look delicate and her skin as smooth as jade, he couldn't help but gaze at her with burning passion.
"You're back? I was just about to borrow Lin's bicycle to pick you up!"
As Chen Jing spoke, he naturally took Ji Xia's schoolbag, held the bicycle keys, and waved to Lin He: "Brother Lin, thank you for the manuscript. We'll return it after we've eaten."
"Hehe, it's nothing. You young people are really romantic."
Lin He chuckled and waved his hand, then coaxed his son and daughter, "Be good, the food will be ready soon. You can eat the candied hawthorns after you finish eating."
He coaxed his son, carefully snatched the candied hawthorn from his hand, and pushed the two children home.
Ji Xia glanced at Chen Jing. This candied hawthorn must have been Chen Jing's doing. Buying snacks for the child every now and then, isn't he afraid of spoiling the child?
Chen Jing put the heavy bag down in the room and handed her a hot towel soaked in water: "Wash your face, let's go out for dinner, I've made a reservation."
While washing her face, Ji Xia asked suspiciously, "Why did you decide to eat out?"
"I'm in a good mood today, so please join me in celebrating."
Chen Jing spoke excitedly, his eyes darting around her slender waist and delicate, fair neck with a slightly unrestrained gaze, and he couldn't help but swallow hard as he followed her movements.
Ji Xia washed her face, took a small amount of face cream from the table, and applied it to her face before asking in confusion, "So happy? Did you find gold?"
"I'm happier than if I'd found gold."
As he spoke, he leaned against her from behind, reached out and grasped her soft breasts, and teased in a low voice, "I got a shop in Wangfujing today, two floors, more than 300 square meters. It used to be a teahouse, it's really beautiful."
Upon hearing that the store in Wangfujing had been acquired, and that it included two floors, Ji Xia couldn't help but feel delighted.
"Wangfujing? Over 300 square meters, that's really nice. There are many time-honored photo studios, hotels, teahouses, and other shops in that area. Opening a private custom studio would be a good idea."
