Back to the prime of life

Chapter 29: Deal (Seeking monthly tickets and follow-up reading)

Lu Changge originally thought that he would discuss the price with Lawyer Zuo. Considering that the law firm was a very rigorous place, he was even prepared to sign the contract.

But the woman had no intention of doing so at all. She even used the excuse that it was noon and invited him to a light meal, and then left the law firm directly.

On the way, they exchanged phone numbers and agreed on the price of legal consulting services. The whole thing would cost a total of 1200 yuan, and Lu Changge paid 400 yuan first.

After she completes the property investigation and drafts the factory transaction contract, and signs the contract, she will pay another 400. Finally, she will enter the formal transaction stage and the transaction will be completed smoothly, and the balance will be paid.

Lu Changge asked him whether a contract was needed between him and the law firm. After all, he didn't know this woman. If she took 400 yuan from you and left today, what would you do if you couldn't find her tomorrow?
Zuo Shuya's behavior shocked him a little.

The woman took out a piece of paper from her bag and started writing.

It’s not that it’s not possible, but it’s a bit irregular and doesn’t match her identity as a lawyer in the law firm.

At this point, Lu Changge understood.

During the National Day holiday, there was no one in the law firm, so she was taking private work.

He takes more private jobs in the workplace, but he doesn't care about that. What he cares about is whether the service he purchased can be provided.

"Lawyer Zuo, I need full-process legal services. In your case... I can just give you a call. Can you come out anytime? What if your boss assigns you other tasks?"

"Don't worry, Mr. Lu, I can come out anytime." Zuo Shuya promised in a serious manner.

Lu Changge took a sip of water and said nothing.

Although this woman has a slender figure, delicate and attractive fair skin, and her perky and elastic buttocks make her look more charming, he is here to do business, not to do anything to her.

What good is an empty promise?

Zuo Shuya kept smiling, and seeing that the other party didn't say anything, she began to understand.

"How about this, if I delay your work for personal reasons, you can deduct 100 yuan from me each time."

Lu Changge added, "Between 8:00 AM and 5:00 PM, if I call you within two hours, I'll deduct 100 yuan each time. This is also written into the contract."

"no problem."

"Of course, I will try to call you after you get off work." Lu Changge said a word of comfort after seeing her finish writing.

Zuo Shuya felt a little embarrassed that her private work had been discovered.

"Thank you." She said this sincerely, and then said, "Then let's talk about the property you want to buy."

"Ah."

The matter is not complicated and can be explained in a few words.

Zuo Shuya was of course curious as to why someone would buy such a shabby factory in such a remote place.

But Lu Changge is the one who pays, so he has the right to choose which questions to answer and which not to answer.

Perhaps this was a bit rude to a lady, but I believe Ms. Zuo would forgive him for the sake of 1,200 yuan.

Before parting, Lu Changge said, "This matter should take a turn for the better in the next few days. I'll call you then and you can come with me."

"it is good."

"By the way, I want to ask you a question."

Zuo Shuya sat very straight, "You go ahead."

"Do I look like a naive student?"

"Uh...if you don't speak, it's very similar."

This is a problem that is neither big nor small. Lu Changge thought that he must not let this person look down on him too much.

Weakness is the catalyst for unrest.

So he had to buy some clothes that were a little more mature.

After he left, Zuo Shuya was also stunned. This matter was somewhat unbelievable.

On the one hand, of course, it was because of the rotten factory building, and on the other hand, it turned out that he was a student?
The only explanation for a student being able to come up with so much money is that his family is rich, but how could a rich person be interested in such a shabby factory at the foot of Xingshan Mountain?

Zuo Shuya really couldn't understand it, but no matter what, she had to earn the money.

The owner can go back and rest, but she has to find a way to work.

After leaving the restaurant, she went back to the law firm to pack up and then went to Beiwang District. While taking the bus on the way, she called a friend of hers.

It was noisy on the bus, so she covered her left ear, bent down and put the phone to her right ear to talk.

"Chen Rong, it's me... Yes, I'm working now, and I just happened to have a case right here in your Xingshan Subdistrict... Okay, okay, I'll come to your house."

……

"A factory with a revenue of 50,000 yuan still needs legal consulting services? This is really like riding a tricycle and drinking red wine, trying to act stylish." Zuo Shuya was sitting in someone's living room. The girl named Chen Rong was about her age and was a friend she had known for a long time. She now worked at the Xingshan Subdistrict Office.

"Mr. Lu is definitely a bit strange, but he's willing to pay, and he's willing to pay even though he knows I take on private work. And you know my current situation, so I want to do a good job on this case no matter what."

"I know, you don't need to explain. So, from what you're saying, this person just wants the transfer to be completed peacefully and without any trouble, that's all."

Zuo Shuya nodded. "Yes, we just need to find out more about Zhou Chunjin. We need to find out if he has any debts, if the factory is mortgaged or leased, if the property is owned by one person or shared with others, and so on. As long as we don't get involved in these things, there won't be any major problems."

"Wait a minute, I'll make a call." Chen Rong picked up the phone and went to the balcony.

……

Lu Changge received another call from Zhou Chunjin on the afternoon of the 3rd.

After receiving the call, he said in a slightly impatient tone: "Boss Zhou, what do you mean? If you want to sell it, then sell it. If you don't want to sell it, then don't sell it. You are still arguing with me about debts for just a few thousand dollars. I really don't want to listen."

"Yes, yes, boss, don't worry, I won't talk about the debt this time."

Lu Changge said, "You're not going to talk anymore? You just open your mouth and say whatever you want. Who knows what's true and what's false? I'm telling you, if you keep doing this, I'll have to call a lawyer."

"Lawyer, I have no objection. It's just the price, Boss. If you really want a little more, I don't want more. 55,000, just to make it sound good."

It's really like a tough nut to crack, you have to fight for every little bit.

Lu Changge guessed that this figure might be related to his debt, so he wanted an extra 2,000. In fact, he was also worried that if the government issued a demolition notice, all his efforts would be wasted.

Although Line 1 will not start construction until next year, it is normal for the people to have heard about the demolition rumors.

After comprehensive consideration, he agreed to the price, "Fifty-five thousand, think it over!"

"Think about it, think about it."

"Okay, okay, if you're still bothered by two thousand dollars, let's just make it fifty-five. But let me be frank, you're talking a lot of nonsense, and I have to find a lawyer."

Lu Changge's tone was a little impatient, but the other party did not express any opinion on it.

How to say it, when he is away from home, he doesn't want to be someone who is difficult to deal with, but the social reality is that if you are considered to be someone who is easy to deal with, people will come to deal with you one after another.

Finally, the two parties agreed to meet on October 10 to discuss the details.

Lu Changge didn't have 5 yuan in his pocket. Fortunately, for this type of transaction, a deposit must be paid first. The transfer and handover have not been completed yet, so it is impossible to pay off the full amount.

Afterwards, he called Zuo Shuya. To his surprise, this seemingly weak woman knew more about the situation than he did.

When we met again, she came over with a file bag full of information and introduced it as if she was checking a household registration: "Mr. Lu, this is the information about Zhou Chunjin.

He is a native of Xingshan Town, 46 years old this year. He has been a truck driver and has also worked in a factory. About four years ago, he partnered with others to open a knitting factory called Tsing Yi Right Bank, but the factory was poorly managed and suffered continuous losses. He also has a gambling habit.

I went to the town where he lives to inquire, and the people there said that he works in the morning and plays mahjong in the afternoon, and he has no idea how to be a boss.

After the factory went bankrupt, he owed more than 80,000 yuan in debt. He has already paid back more than 30,000 yuan, and should have more than 50,000 yuan left.

He has a wife, but they're divorced. The factory you want to buy is over 580 square meters and is owned entirely by Zhou Chunjin. He bought it four years ago when he started the factory, and there's no leasing or mortgage involved.

"Did you buy it? He told me he built it himself."

"Then he's lying." Zuo Shuya smiled slightly. From yesterday till now, she has become more and more confident. "In view of this, I don't think I can trust his words. I still have to refer to the official property certificate he provided. When the time comes, I will go to the bank, housing and construction departments to confirm and ensure that it does not involve mortgage."

"Okay." Lying is normal, Lu Changge was not surprised. He just felt that he had found the right lawyer this time. Otherwise, if such a person caused a lot of trouble with you, how could you defend yourself?

"By the way, his ex-wife won't affect us, right?"

"No, he's the only owner."

"it is good."

"Also, I'd like to remind you that Xingshan Town isn't an economically developed area in Jiangzhou. Although the government has plans for it, that's for the future. I've been to the site, and it's hard to say whether this type of factory building is worth 55,000 yuan."

"A gambler is in a hurry to pay off his debts. If you don't give him the price, he won't sell it." Lu Changge didn't dwell on this.

In fact, from a higher level perspective, he also wants Zhou Chunjin to pay off his debts by selling this property, otherwise... there may be hidden dangers later.

Seeing that he had made up his mind, Zuo Shuya said nothing more. She put away the things, then took a box from the side and said, "Mr. Lu, this is a suit I rented. Don't be disgusted. Because you said you wanted to look more mature."

This surprised him a little. He didn't expect that the lawyer could do this.

"Thank you. That's very thoughtful of you. How much is the rent for this suit? I'll give it to you."

"No, no. It's cheap."

"It's the right amount, don't be embarrassed."

Lu Changge insisted on paying the money.
