195: You need to practice more

Zhang Ma (Mother Zhang) was a little moved after hearing this:

"I didn't expect your whole family to value your feelings for Zhang Jun and Yang Qi so much."

"How about this! I'll decide for you; it's 2.48 million after tax. You should get an apartment! One, you'll need it for living here, and two, an apartment is also an investment and will appreciate in value."

Zheng Tie looked at his elder sister and Chen Lanxin, and seeing that neither of them spoke, he said:

"Alright! Then I'll listen to you."

"Xiao Wang, you draft a purchase contract. Later, take Mr. Zheng to pick out an apartment, and then handle the procedures."

Zhang Ma instructed Manager Wang.

"Understood, Director!"

After the contract was drafted and confirmed by both parties, Bai Xue volunteered to find a place to print it.

Once the purchase contract was brought back, both parties confirmed it again, and under the witness of the manager's phone camera, both parties signed and affixed their fingerprints.

The old man re-entered, wrote the appraisal certificate, and then stamped two seals.

This was not surprising; he certainly wouldn't issue an appraisal certificate before the transaction was completed.

This was a paid service, 50,000 yuan, plus a red packet.

If Zhang Ma hadn't bought it in the end, wouldn't it have meant an appraisal certificate was issued to Zheng Tie for nothing?

That would be against the rules!

This video would certainly be handled and archived separately.

From then on, this melo pearl belonged to the Zhang family, and with the video as evidence, along with the purchase contract and appraisal certificate.

This meant the melo pearl had a complete provenance.

Finally, Zhang Jun's parents and the old man bid farewell and left, leaving Manager Wang to take Zheng Tie and the others to look at apartments.

It must be said that people who do big business are meticulous and thoughtful.

Didn't you see Manager Wang carrying several large bunches of keys? They were certain Zheng Tie would want an apartment.

So they brought Manager Wang along to handle everything at once.

Before the group even reached the new apartment, Zheng Tie received a text message from the bank.

1.28 million yuan had already arrived in his account.

As for how they avoided taxes, or if taxes had already been paid, the few people didn't understand and didn't want to know.

Both parties got what they wanted, and everyone was happy, that was enough!

After choosing the apartment, Manager Wang handed the keys to Zheng Tie.

Since the Housing Authority was already closed for the afternoon, they arranged to go at 8 AM tomorrow to complete the property transfer procedures.

After seeing Manager Wang off, everyone went in to continue touring. The apartment structure was exactly the same as the other few buildings.

The others only needed to tour two sides. After leaving this new apartment, they returned home to prepare to go to the restaurant for dinner. From the third floor to the second floor.

Only the excited Zheng Tie and Chen Lanxin remained, unable to get enough of looking around.

They went from the first floor to the third-floor balcony, and then from the third floor back to the first floor, constantly planning the room layout.

On the large balcony on the third floor, the two leaned against each other, gazing at the distant sea. The setting sun dyed the sea red, also draping a fiery red veil over them.

The excited couple couldn't help themselves, their eyes met, full of affection.

"Lanxin, this will be our home from now on!"

Chen Lanxin nodded, her eyes glistening. She tilted her head slightly, unable to resist reaching out and touching Zheng Tie's cheek.

Everything needed no words to express. The hearts of the two young people slowly drew closer, finally embracing tightly.

The two progressed from awkwardness to clumsiness, then to familiarity, and finally to skill. Everything was so natural and harmonious.

She didn't know how much time had passed, Chen Lanxin only knew that she was almost out of breath.

Her body was weak, she had long since gone limp in Zheng Tie's arms. If not for Zheng Tie's strong and powerful arms holding her, she probably would have collapsed long ago.

Her heart pounded faster and faster, as if it would leap out at any moment.

She wanted to stop, yet she couldn't bear to let go of this feeling.

Zheng Tie finally gently moved away from Chen Lanxin's soft lips.

Chen Lanxin held Zheng Tie tightly, gasping for air.

After a few minutes, she gradually calmed down.

She secretly cursed herself: "So pathetic, almost kissed myself to death. Such a noob!"

"But kissing really feels good! Hahahaha."

"If you're a noob, you need to practice more!"

After a while longer, Chen Lanxin suddenly remembered that they still had to go to the restaurant for dinner!

"Oh no! It's all your fault, they're still waiting for us to eat!"

"Alright, alright, alright! It's all my fault, let's go now!"

Zheng Tie looked at his girlfriend, who was acting spoiled in his arms, and felt immensely fond of her.

When the two arrived downstairs hand-in-hand, they found Chen Lanxin's electric scooter parked in the courtyard.

It seemed his elder sister and the others had ridden it over.

Zheng Tie took out his phone and saw a message from his elder sister:

"We'll wait another twenty minutes for you. If you don't come, we'll start eating. You can find your own food."

Looking at the time, it was a message from ten minutes ago.

"Oh no! You quickly call back and say we'll be there right away. This is going to be embarrassing."

Chen Lanxin also saw the message and said urgently.

Zheng Tie complained inwardly:

"Didn't you yourself cling to my neck, sucking non-stop?"

But he didn't dare say that, or he'd probably get a beating.

He said aloud: "I'll call now. Let's hurry over. When we get there, you can say I had a stomach ache and was pooping."

"Aren't you disgusting! Aren't you disgusting!"

What he got in return were a few light pinches from Chen Lanxin, which didn't hurt much.

The two quickly rode the electric scooter towards the restaurant.

Chen Lanxin's embrace from the back seat was natural and practiced, as the saying goes:

"Once unfamiliar, twice familiar, thrice and four times, flesh pressed to flesh."

By the time the two arrived at the private room, not all the dishes had been served yet, presumably they were waiting for them after the phone call.

The two nodded somewhat awkwardly, found seats, and hadn't even started speaking.

Then they heard Bai Lang say:

"Auntie, I've already found a good excuse for your being late."

"Just use my reason for being late for school, it's very sufficient!"

Everyone looked at him curiously, waiting for him to continue.

Bai Lang said solemnly:

"Just say Uncle Zheng had a stomach ache and was pooping."

Everyone laughed and scolded Bai Lang for being disgusting, saying, "We're eating at a restaurant! What are you talking about, kid?"

Zheng Tie and Chen Lanxin stared at each other for a few moments, unable to believe it.

"Holy crap, great minds think alike!"

Zheng Tie thought to himself.

He simply went along with Bai Lang's words:

"Yes, that's the reason, I think it's very sufficient. Hahahaha!"

Thanks to Bai Lang's clowning around, the two no longer felt the awkwardness they had upon entering.

Dinner ended in a pleasant atmosphere.

Since Zheng Tie and Chen Lanxin hadn't been dating for long, they definitely couldn't stay out overnight during this period.

It would have been fine to sleep at Bai Xue's house, but by the time they traveled from Qingshan Town to Bai Xue's house, Chen Lanxin would have already reached her own home.

In the end, Zheng Tie rode Yang Qi's old electric scooter to take her home.

When they reached a secluded spot at the village entrance, adhering to the principle of "if you're a noob, you need to practice more," the two practiced several more times together.
