Back to the prime of life

Chapter 30: Rational Indifference (Seeking monthly tickets and follow-up reading)
Zuo Shuya later explained to Lu Changge why she was able to investigate Zhou Chunjin's information, and also mentioned that she knew people in the Xingshan Sub-district Office, probably to make Lu Changge trust her more.

On the 5th, he took the woman to meet Zhou Chunjin.

Perhaps it was because of the suit. After all, he looked presentable and had a lawyer, so the other party did not make any sudden attempts to raise the price.

Zuo Shuya also prepared the sales contract in advance, checked the property certificate again on the spot, and reminded him that her side would go to the relevant departments to check to ensure that the factory building had not been mortgaged or leased, and was not involved in any legal disputes.

In fact, all of this has already been done by someone else. Now we just want Zhou Chunjin to know not to mess around and that they are very formal.

Zhou Chunjin was indeed intimidated by this posture. Finally, he asked, "Mr. Lu, who are you? Why are you so serious and formal?"

"When doing things, it's always better to be a villain first and a gentleman later. It's clean and refreshing, and it benefits everyone." Lu Changge replied simply.

"Okay. So when will the final payment be made?"

He looked at Zuo Shuya, and the woman replied, "Once you pay the deposit, it's usually within 7 working days."

"Then let's make it the last day." Lu Changge said.

Zhou Chunjin was a little unhappy, "Can it be earlier?"

"Are you in a hurry? It's not my fault. If you hadn't said something about being out of town and having debts, we would have done it long ago."

The contract stipulates 7 working days, so it is 7 working days.

These tens of thousands of dollars involved him withdrawing them from the stock market. However, it was a bull market and a difference of one day could mean a loss of several thousand dollars. He had already lost five thousand dollars on the price and could not afford to lose any more.

But for Zhou Chunjin, a few days probably wouldn't make that much of a difference. He wasn't lying in the hospital waiting for money for surgery.

He just mentioned it briefly now, so of course Lu Changge would not agree to it so easily.

As long as he didn't violate the contract, Zhou Chunjin had no choice.

Zuo Shuya also witnessed with her own eyes how a student could be tougher than a forty-year-old social veteran.

On the way back, Lu Changge chose to take a taxi. On the one hand, it was late and taking the bus would take too much time. On the other hand, he had the contract in his hand, which would mean hundreds of thousands of dollars in the future, so... he was rich.

Sitting in the car, he paid 400 yuan to Zuo Shuya.

Not one point too much, not one point too little.

"Thank you."

"You deserve it, thank you."

"Mr. Lu, can I ask you a question?"

"sure."

"Is that why you insist on paying on the last working day?"

Although he didn't know why she was curious about this, Lu Changge didn't intend to explain too much. He looked out the window and said, "Is this a problem? According to the contract, I can do this."

"But you can also pay him in advance."

Lu Changge paused for a moment, then turned his head and looked at her. "Why do you care about this?"

"Nothing, it's just...if it were me, I would agree to him."

He understood a little, "I understand what you mean by that question. Have you read Maugham's Of Human Bondage?"

"To be honest, I don't even know who Maugham is." The woman shook her head and said self-deprecatingly.

"That's fine." Lu Changge looked at her and answered seriously, "There's a saying in this book: Being soft-hearted and embarrassed will only kill you. A rational, cold-hearted and ruthless attitude is the weapon for survival."

The implication is that if there are no special interests, why should we agree to his request?
Zuo Shuya looked at the man in front of her who could only be described as a boy, with a look of confusion. She didn't understand his age and the maturity of his behavior.

Things are actually simple after that. Even if the lawyer doesn't know how to handle the transaction transfer, he can find an intermediary, which will only cost him a hundred or two hundred dollars.

But now he had to return the suit to the owner, and he could only find a restroom in the mall. Out of courtesy, he carefully sorted the clothes and put them back into the bag before returning them to Zuo Shuya.

Only when he was alone did Lu Changge relax his expression. This thing was done well!

He is also confident in the memory in his mind, so there should be no mistake in the 800,000.

Even if something goes wrong, it's not a big deal. It's just that the payback period will be extended, because with the urbanization process and the expansion of Jiangzhou's urban area, there will always be demolition there.

So no matter what, he won't lose anything.

Later, he took off his formal suit and changed into an ordinary white T-shirt, and the solemn feeling disappeared.

Zuo Shuya originally thought that the man in front of her looked well-proportioned in a suit, but she didn't think too much about it. After all, an ordinary person wearing a suit would look most like an insurance agent or salesperson.

But now looking back, I suddenly feel it is a pity to take it off.

"Thanks."

Lu Changge handed the bag to her.

"You're welcome. You've already paid for it."

"I looked at the time, it's just after 4 o'clock, it seems a bit early for dinner. Why don't we just go back and not keep you up? After all, it's National Day now, and we can't use holidays as working time."

Zuo Shuya narrowed her eyes and smiled. To her, this private job was just for free. There was a little workload, but not much. However, twelve hundred yuan was not cheap. Nowadays in Jiangzhou, workers only earned two to three thousand yuan a month.

"You're too kind."

Afterwards, they said goodbye to each other.

Lu Changge returned to school with the materials.

It was not until I arrived at the dormitory that I found that Hui Chuankun had returned.

This surprised him a little, after all, today was only the 5th.

Lu Changge stuffed the contract and other things into his cabinet and asked him, "Chuan Kun, why did you come here today?"

"It's hard to buy train tickets for tomorrow's train. There are so many people, and I'm afraid of the traffic jam."

He is from Shandong, which is three or four hundred kilometers farther away than Lu Changge's home.

As he said this, he took out a scallion from the plastic bag. It was about as thick as his middle finger.

"Brother Lu, would you like to try our scallion-wrapped pancakes? I just came here and found out you don't eat this here."

"Oh," Lu Changge's eyes lit up. "You know what? We're close to Shandong, so I've eaten there occasionally. I really like it."

"Really? Then I brought the right one."

He took out some more.

Lu Changge didn't bother to be polite with him, but at the same time he gave him two bananas that he had bought from outside.

Hui Chuankun usually has a weak presence, but maybe because my table is close to his, I actually talk to him more.

"Are you going back to see your girlfriend?" Lu Changge chatted with him while eating a burrito.

"See you."

"I never asked, where does she go to college? It's not far from us."

Hui Chuankun pushed his glasses and said, "She repeated her studies and is still in our hometown."

"Wow, then there's still a chance to get into Jiangzhou University of Technology."

"To be honest, I've been looking forward to it, haha."

Hui Chuankun also started chatting. Since there was no one else around, they would just chat from time to time. Others would think that Hui Chuankun was a bit out of touch with the group, and Lu Changge felt the same way, but he never thought it was a problem. Everyone had their own plans, and he was just more busy with his own things. It wasn't like he was bad or anything like that.

On the other hand, Zuo Shuya did not go home immediately. She went to a library.

After walking around twice, I finally asked the shopping guide to help me find the book "Of Human Bondage".

No matter what, Zuo Shuya felt that the person she met this time was a little special.

And if a student really paid more than 50,000 yuan, he is definitely not an ordinary person, but a big customer.
