Chapter 230 The fish has taken the bait!
The Golden Ingot Private Room at Haitian Hotel.
There were only Xu An and Mr. He in the private room, but the table was full of dishes, including abalone, sea cucumber, shark fin, and fish maw. Even the wine, Xu An ordered Moutai.
When Mr. He entered and saw this table, he was both startled and very pleased. Putting everything else aside, of the three people he contacted, Xu An, though the youngest, was the most adept at handling things.
Look at this table full of delicacies, wow!
"Mr. Xu, aren't you being a bit too polite?"
"Not at all, Mr. He, come over here and try this wine." Xu An held the wine bottle high and beckoned, "I'm only able to drink such fine wine today thanks to Mr. He!"
"Not at all, I'm clearly benefiting from your patronage, Mr. Xu!"
Mr. He didn't stand on ceremony. He took a big step and sat down in the main seat, picked up a wine glass, and began to enjoy Xu An's service with a clear conscience.
After several rounds of drinks and five courses of food,
Xu An quietly slipped his right hand into his pocket, pressed the start button with practiced ease, and then began to get down to business.
"Mr. He, I've raised all the money, exactly 1.3 million yuan, not a penny more or less. What do you say, Mr. He? Can the paperwork be completed today? Can it be done today?"
If the question had been asked an hour earlier, Mr. He would naturally have made various excuses to postpone it until tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, or even the day after that, preferably until after he had already left.
But just an hour ago, he received calls from two other people. Although their wording was slightly different, they both meant the same thing: there was something urgent that needed to be taken care of at the store today, and they would talk about the furniture store tomorrow.
The two of them seemed determined, and nothing they said mattered; they insisted on communicating again tomorrow.
In the morning, the two were confidently assuring each other that everything would be fine, but less than two hours later, they both changed their minds. The sudden change in their attitudes gave Mr. He a bad feeling.
A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.
Xu An is the bird in his hand!
“No problem, no problem! Let’s go to the bank to verify the funds. If there are no problems, we can go directly to the real estate center to complete the formalities, how about that?” Mr. He made a decision immediately and gave Xu An the answer he wanted.
"Hahaha, Mr. He, you're such a straightforward person! I'll toast you again!"
After a satisfying meal, the two politely declined each other's offer and walked out of the Haitian Hotel building, heading straight to Haishi Bank, where they obtained a bank statement at the manual counter.
When Mr. He saw the prominent Chinese characters for 1.3 million yuan in the last column, a satisfied smile appeared on his face.
What a fool! He fell for it!
Just as Mr. He was about to ask Xu An to transfer the money to his card, Xu An took a rectangular receipt from the bank employee and shoved it into his hand.
"Mr. He, this is a check for 1.3 million yuan that has just been processed. Once our formalities are completed, you can bring the check to the bank to collect the money."
After Xu An finished speaking, he didn't give Mr. He a chance to hesitate. He seemed gentle, but in reality, he used a huge force to pull Mr. He out of the bank and into the gate of the Haishi Real Estate Center across the street.
Looking at the check in his hand, at the sincere smile on Xu An's face, and remembering that Ren Peng and the tall, strong middle-aged man had never asked him for any relevant supporting documents, he felt a little more at ease.
Regardless of whether the other two birds fall for the trap or not, this bird is already in the basket. All I need to do is squeeze it, and this fat bird will be right there in the pot...
With prior arrangements, the relevant procedures were completed at an astonishing speed. Once the documents are reviewed, Xu An will be able to come and collect his land use certificate tomorrow.
Watching the staff pack all the documents into manila envelopes, seal them, stamp them, and send them to the archives, Xu An's heart finally settled. He extended his right hand to Mr. He as a gesture of goodwill and smiled, "Mr. He, it's been a pleasure doing business with you. I wish your son all the best in his studies and a bright future!"
"Mr. Xu, you're too kind!" Mr. He rubbed his thumb on the check twice, and his wildly beating heart calmed down under the comfort of the money. "I also wish you a prosperous business and abundant wealth, Mr. Xu!"
The two of them politely complimented each other as they walked towards the gate of the Haishi Real Estate Center.
Outside the gate, two uniformed law enforcement officers appeared out of nowhere, standing on either side of the gate. They looked a bit like security guards, but their spirit and energy were nowhere near as impressive as the guards'.
When his gaze fell upon the two law enforcement officers, Mr. He's heart began to pound again, so fast it felt like it was about to jump out of his throat.
What's wrong?
His right hand reached into his pocket, his thumb rubbing the check again, feeling the texture of the words "One Million Three Hundred Thousand Yuan".
This time, however, my heart didn't calm down; instead, it became even more active.
Mr. He had barely stepped out of the threshold of the Haishi Real Estate Center, and before he could even lift his foot, the two steady law enforcement officers turned their gazes to him and asked almost in unison, "Are you Mr. He Hanlong?"
"I...I don't..." Mr. He instinctively wanted to deny it, but after glancing at the two law enforcement officers, he swallowed the last word and forced himself to answer, "Yes, I am. May I ask what business you have with me?"
