As soon as the two of them left, Lin Jiaojiao and Xin Lan came over and happened to see the landlord preparing to close the door and go home.
The landlord felt guilty when he saw the two of them. "Why are you two here again? We haven't made things clear before. Go away, leave my house immediately. I'm not selling it to you anymore!"
"You!" Even though Xin Lan was a good-tempered person, he was still a little furious after being harassed by such a scoundrel again and again.
Just as he was about to argue, he was stopped by Lin Jiaojiao.
"No matter what, we know each other. Regardless of whether this deal can be done or not, this shouldn't be the attitude, right?"
Seeing Lin Jiaojiao's good attitude, the landlord breathed a sigh of relief and immediately put on a smile: "You are very reasonable. This transaction was originally a matter of mutual consent. The house is not something I can decide on my own. I only found out after I signed the contract that day that my wife had contacted other people. Since we are all in this together, the highest bidder will get it."
"I see." Lin Jiaojiao raised an eyebrow and asked awkwardly, "Then how did you sign the contract? Signing duplicate contracts at the same time is legally responsible. It would be best if the three parties meet together and lay out both contracts for a look."
"That's right, let the people on that side come out and speak!"
"How can we meet? Besides, I've already said that I only agreed to this because my wife didn't know about it."
"You are a married couple. Both spouses have the legal right to deal with real estate. Could it be that the other party did not sign the contract?"
“…”
Seeing him speechless, Lin Jiaojiao smiled and said, "That doesn't matter. We live in a society ruled by law now. There's no such thing as forced buying or selling."
"Exactly. So what are you talking about? Anyway, you only paid a deposit before, and now I'm returning the money to you."
The landlord didn't want to continue pestering them, so he immediately stuffed the money that Lin Jiaojiao had given them back into their hands.
For some reason, he always felt that this beautiful woman with a bright smile was more difficult to deal with than the one next to her, so it would be better to get away as soon as possible!
But how could Lin Jiaojiao let him get intimate with her so early?
"I've accepted the deposit, but for the rest, let's follow the contract."
"What contract?"
"Haven't you read it? We gave you half an hour before signing the contract." Xin Lan immediately took out the second page and pointed to a clause. "It's clearly written here, and it's emphasized. After both parties sign the contract, if one party breaches it, they will have to pay the other party three times the liquidated damages."
"What! Three times! Why don't you just go rob?"
"It's clearly written in black and white. You didn't see it clearly. Are you blaming us?"
The landlord panicked and began to shift the blame: "It's obviously you. This is an unfair contract. You deliberately bullied an uneducated person like me."
Lin Jiaojiao smiled and shook her head: "This is a normal contract. The triple compensation for breach of contract is within the legal range. It has your signature and seal on it. If you don't acknowledge it, then I can only call the police."
"Call the police?"
"Also, you just said you're uneducated and don't understand the law? But from what I understand, your eldest son has been studying very hard over the past two years. He just started working at the Public Security Bureau two months ago and should be a regular employee in a month, right? How could you not understand these things?"
"You, how do you know my son...who are you?"
The landlord was completely panicked, his face pale and he took a step back in fear.
It’s a pity that he used to think that these two girls were pretty and naive.
After all this time, it turns out they are just two dominatrixes! And one of them has brains!
Lin Jiaojiao ignored him and continued, "I've always had a good temper, but I can be vindictive. You can break the contract if you want, but let's follow the rules and pay triple the compensation, and we'll be done with it. But if you insist on denying it, don't blame me for taking action. I know your eldest son is anxious to transfer, and if this matter gets out of hand, it will definitely affect his political review. I also know your youngest son is only eight years old and attends the elementary school next door. I also know that your wife is illiterate and never leaves the house, so she can't handle such a big thing as the house. Do I need to continue?"
"No!" The landlord hurriedly shook his head, knowing full well what Lin Jiaojiao meant, and nodded hastily: "Comrade Lin, it's my fault. I was being shameless. The house is yours!"
"Don't worry. I want to know what price the other party offered you that made you so anxious to break the contract?"
"This... doubles."
"It's such a shabby place, double the price?"
Xin Lan sensed something was wrong.
Lin Jiaojiao didn't respond: "That's indeed very high. It's understandable that you're tempted. How about this, I'll give you two more days to think it over."
"No……"
The landlord wanted to say something, but the two people opposite had already walked away.
After they were quite far away, Xin Lan asked doubtfully, "You didn't let me ask any further just now. Did you also feel something was wrong? For such a small, shabby house, the price we offered was already high, but they're asking for double the price. What's going on? Is someone targeting us on purpose?"
This is exactly what Lin Jiaojiao is worried about.
It is probably impossible to deliberately target Xin Lan.
After all, the current policy is to relax faster and faster.
Especially in big cities like this, there are many people running small businesses.
Those profiteers even blatantly set up their stalls in the busiest places.
Then there is only one possibility that it is directed at her.
Coming for him means coming for Ji Huaian...
Although the possibility is very low, you must not take the risk.
"You live nearby, so pay more attention recently and find out who the other buyer is. If there's anything unusual, we'll have to meet up in time!"
"Don't worry, but are we really going to wait for him for two days?"
Lin Jiaojiao smiled and shook her head: "It's just a house, there are many nearby, keep looking!"
"That's right. No matter what, the store business can't be delayed. We have to make preparations for both scenarios."
…
In the past two days, Ji Huaian always goes out early and comes back late.
There are only a few times when I can eat at home.
People have also become visibly thinner.
Lin Jiaojiao felt sorry for him and wanted to get up and make breakfast for him.
I was especially alert when I went to bed at night.
Ji Huaian got up early and was about to dress carefully and leave as usual, but was stopped by Lin Jiaojiao behind him: "It's only half past five. Even if you have to attend the training at half past six in the morning, you can still eat breakfast. I can do it quickly, wait for me."
"I'm sorry for waking you."
"Your movements were so gentle. I wanted to get up on my own."
"No need, there's a bun seller right at the door. I can just buy two."
Lin Jiaojiao refused to listen and insisted on getting up and going to the kitchen.
Breakfast was ready in less than half an hour.
Ji Huaian drank a mouthful of porridge and immediately felt his stomach warm. "Your cooking skills are really good. After eating it, I feel energetic all day long!"
