"Xiao Jin, you've been behind on your rent for over a month. When are you going to pay?" Just as He Wenlin and Jin Haichao entered, their landlady, a woman in her fifties, followed them in.
He Wenlin asked, "How much is the rent?"
"You'll give it to me?"
“I’m his customer. Once he closes this deal with me, he’ll have the money to pay. Auntie, nobody comes to collect debts in the morning. Why don’t you come in the afternoon?”
The landlady hesitated for a moment, then said, "Okay, I'll come this afternoon, Xiao Jin. If you don't pay this afternoon, don't blame me."
As soon as the landlord left, Jin Haichao thanked He Wenlin shyly, saying, "Thank you."
"You don't need to thank me, I really do need your help with something," He Wenlin said. "What school did you graduate from?"
"I'm from Nanjing University."
"Wow, one book! Not bad. How long have you been in Dongguan? Are you familiar with this area?"
"I'm from Huzhen, so I'm fairly familiar with Dongguan City."
Huzhen belongs to Dongguan East, so it's considered a local town.
He Wenlin was immediately delighted.
"Attorney Jin, I do need your help with something, but I'm wondering about your fees?"
Jin Haichao was taken aback: "Are you serious?"
"Of course! But I'm not dealing with lawsuits, just some contract terms and stuff. How about I give you six hundred yuan a month to work part-time as my company's legal counsel?"
"I'm fine."
With a stable income of 600 yuan a month, his basic living needs can be guaranteed.
Jin Haichao could not obtain what he desired.
“But your factory is in Shaocheng…” Jin Haichao said, “I don’t plan to leave here for the time being.”
“I’ll contact you if anything happens in Shaocheng. You can stay in Dongguan; you don’t need to come with me there.”
In the future, I will also expand my business here. In addition, I want to buy more old houses and land in Zhenzhou, Huizhou, and Dongguan. I don't want the sellers to come and argue with me later if the houses and land I buy are demolished or something. So I need a professional to talk to.
If you're willing to help me with these things here, like finding land and houses, in addition to your part-time legal salary of 600 yuan, I'll give you a fixed 300 yuan monthly allowance for local transportation and phone bills. For each successful transaction, I'll give you a 5% commission on the transaction amount.
If Hu Meiling were to go out and do business on her own, she would be very busy and probably wouldn't have much time to help He Wenlin buy land. She also needs to go back to Shaocheng, so someone is needed to do things here.
Jin Haichao's willingness to help today shows that he is of good character, making him a suitable candidate for the task.
He Wenlin added, "If you help me with this, it won't interfere with your part-time work as a legal counsel for other companies. You can also find local real estate agencies to cooperate with. They usually know a lot of people and have resources on land, real estate, and shops."
Even without He Wenlin's reminder, Jin Haichao had already thought of this.
He feels like he's been hit by a pie.
“I can also give you three months’ salary in advance,” He Wenlin said again.
Jin Haichao was taken aback: "Aren't you afraid I'll take three months' salary and run away?"
He Wenlin said with a smile, "You helped me today. If you run away, consider these three months' salary as a thank you for helping me today."
"Okay, I'll do this job. Do you have any requirements regarding the land and buildings?"
"I'd prioritize houses and land in Zhenzhou. The cheaper the price, the better, and the larger the area, the better. A slightly out-of-the-way location is fine. What I'm looking for is the city's future development."
