Lin Shen went through the contract, clarifying the specific terms. He also made a point to carefully examine the addendums to avoid getting scammed.
However, it seemed Shen Mingchuan genuinely wanted to sell the shops and wasn’t trying to pull any funny business.
"This is fine."
Ten minutes later, Lin Shen stood up with the contract in hand, casually glancing at the green and gold Rolex Daytona on his left wrist.
"The staff at the property transaction center haven’t left for the day yet. Let’s go handle the transfer paperwork now."
"You got it!"
Seeing Lin Shen agree, Shen Mingchuan was overjoyed and immediately hurried to the master bedroom to grab the necessary documents.
Then, the three of them went downstairs and drove to the property transaction center.
Although Lin Ping once again sat in Lin Shen’s passenger seat, Shen Mingchuan was no longer suspicious.
He figured Lin Ping was probably just shy and too embarrassed to ride in the same car with him.
’No matter,’ he thought. ’One step at a time!’
’Healing the cracks in our relationship will definitely take some time.’
Shen Mingchuan thought to himself, pleased.
However, this time, when they got out of the car, he noticed some strange creases on Lin Ping’s T-shirt. Her face was also slightly flushed.
Huh?
Shen Mingchuan’s expression faltered. He quickly shook his head, forcing himself not to read too much into it.
’Ping just smiled at me!’
’How could she possibly have some kind of weird relationship with Lin Shen?’
Shen Mingchuan was convinced that Lin Ping wanted to get back together with him, so he pushed the thought from his mind.
He led the way, and the three of them walked into the property transaction center to file the paperwork.
Since it was almost closing time, the staff were working much more efficiently.
The whole process took about an hour to complete.
There was one small incident, however. When Lin Shen paid the taxes, he didn’t use the startup fund from GoGo Maps. Instead, he used money from his own bank account.
He was worried it would attract unwanted attention from the authorities...
5:00 PM.
The group left the property transaction center.
Although the transfer process was finished, they would have to wait a month for the new property deeds to be issued.
Still, for the next month, Lin Shen was effectively the owner of the two commercial properties; it was just a matter of making it official.
None of that was important, though.
The money had already been transferred and the contract was in effect. It was highly unlikely Shen Mingchuan could back out now, even if he wanted to.
Not that he had any intention of doing so, of course.
[Entrepreneurial intent detected. 4,982,000 has been withdrawn for payment. Current accumulated balance: 3,008,000]
"President Lin."
The seven-figure sum that appeared in the bank transfer notification on his phone sent Shen Mingchuan into a state of ecstasy.
He hurried over to Lin Shen and bowed with the utmost sincerity.
"Thank you so much for everything today! How about I treat you to dinner tonight to show my appreciation?"
"That won’t be necessary."
Lin Shen waved his hand dismissively. Then, a thought struck him, and he glanced at Lin Ping by his side.
"If you really insist on treating me, you should find a time for Lin Ping to come over to your place and cook a home-style meal."
"Of course!"
Shen Mingchuan agreed in a heartbeat.
Lin Shen’s suggestion made him leap for joy internally. This was the perfect opportunity to get closer to Lin Ping!
What’s more, it seemed like Lin Shen was trying to play matchmaker and help them repair their relationship.
’This proves he’s not interested in Lin Ping!’
At this, any negative feelings or resistance Shen Mingchuan had toward Lin Shen vanished, replaced by nothing but gratitude and admiration.
’And to think people say that rich kid Lin Shen only knows how to throw money around?’
’The man is rich, so what if he splurges? What’s wrong with that?’
’He has high EQ, he’s handsome, and he comes from a good family. He’s the template for the perfect man!’
"Ping, what do you think?"
Thinking Lin Ping might hesitate, Shen Mingchuan specifically mentioned Lin Shen when he asked for her opinion.
