307: Chapter 307 Boss, I bought a few new outfits
She blinked her eyes hard, trying to hold back that stinging sensation, but her eyes were still red.
The girl at the counter did not notice Qiao Linlin's unusual demeanor and continued with the procedure, saying, "If you want to process a real estate title transfer, you need to prepare some materials."
Chen Fan asked, "What kind of materials are needed?"
"First, we need the original and a copy of both parties' ID cards, as well as the original property deed. For a gift, both parties need to be present to sign a gift contract, which can be printed on-site. Additionally, you need a household register or materials that can prove the relationship. If it is a gift between non-relatives, an additional explanation needs to be written."
The girl paused and added, "Also, there is the issue of taxes. For a gift, you need to pay deed tax, stamp duty, and individual income tax. The deed tax is generally 3% of the assessed value. The specific amount is determined based on the house's assessed value, and we will issue an appraisal report before the transfer."
Chen Fan nodded after listening, "I brought the ID cards and the property deed, but I didn't bring the household register. However, she and I are not relatives. Do I need to write a separate explanation?"
"For a gift between non-relatives, you need to write a declaration of voluntary gift, which can be signed on-site," the girl said, taking a form from under the counter and handing it over. "In addition, you also need to fill out a gift notarization application form to confirm the wishes of both parties."
Chen Fan took it, glanced at it, and placed it on the counter, "Fine, all of these can be signed."
The girl added a final point, "Right, there is one more condition: this house must not have any mortgages or loans. If there are loans, they must be paid off before the gift can be processed."
Chen Fan nodded, "There is no loan. The house was bought in full."
The house Chen Fan wanted to transfer was the one Qiao Linlin was currently living in. Although it was bought with a loan previously, Chen Fan had already paid off all the loans in advance some time ago. Now, this house belonged entirely to Chen Fan.
And now, what Chen Fan was going to do was give this house to Qiao Linlin.
Upon hearing this, the girl replied, "Then there is no problem." She took out a gift contract template and placed it on the counter, "Please take a look at this contract, both of you. If there are no issues, just sign and press your fingerprints here."
Chen Fan picked up the contract, looked it over, confirmed there were no issues, and then handed the pen to Qiao Linlin.
Qiao Linlin took it and lowered her head to sign her name in the corresponding place.
The girl took the signed contract, carefully checked the positions of both parties' signatures and fingerprints again, and nodded after confirming everything was correct, "Okay, the contract is fine. Next, you need to pay the deed tax and stamp duty. The deed tax is three percent. Including the stamp duty and other miscellaneous fees, you need to pay a total of about ninety-two thousand."
Chen Fan was stunned for a moment, not expecting that so many fees still needed to be paid. However, he didn't care; he took out his wallet from his pocket, pulled out a bank card, and placed it on the counter, "Charge the card."
The girl took it and operated the machine. The machine beeped and printed a receipt. She handed the card and the receipt back, "Please sign here."
Chen Fan took the pen and signed the receipt. The girl tore off the receipt copy, put it into a document bag, and handed the stamped receipt and a copy of the contract to Qiao Linlin, "This is your copy for retention. The official new certificate should be ready in about five working days. We will call to notify you to come and pick it up."
Qiao Linlin took the document bag and said softly, "Okay, thank you."
The girl smiled, "You're welcome. Take care, both of you."
After leaving the Real Estate Registration Center, Qiao Linlin stood still on the steps and did not immediately walk forward.
Chen Fan walked a few steps, realized she hadn't followed, and looked back at her, "What's wrong?"
Qiao Linlin's eyes were red, "It's nothing, I just feel... it's too sudden."
A smile appeared on the corner of Chen Fan's mouth, "I thought you didn't want it."
"Of course I want it!" Qiao Linlin couldn't help but pout coquettishly, her voice carrying a hint of a spoiled tone. Although her eyes were still red, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but curl upwards, "How could I possibly not want something given by Boss..."
"That settles it, let's go."
"Alright, Boss." Qiao Linlin stuck out her tongue and followed Chen Fan towards the car.
As they walked, Qiao Linlin whispered, "Boss, I bought a few more outfits."
Chen Fan was taking out his car keys and asked casually, "What kind of outfits?"
Qiao Linlin's voice lowered a few notches, as if afraid of being heard by passersby, "A nurse... outfit, and also a flight attendant..."
Chen Fan's finger, which was pressing the unlock button, paused.
"We'll talk about it when we get back tonight."
...
The next morning, Chen Fan woke up at Qiao Linlin's place.
A sliver of light filtered in through the curtains, and the lingering scent of last night still permeated the room.
Qiao Linlin was snuggled in his arms, sleeping soundly. Her breathing was even and long, her arm was draped over his waist, and her hair was spread across the pillow, pressing down on half of his arm until it was a bit numb.
Chen Fan turned his head to look at her but didn't move. He lay quietly for a few seconds, then carefully and gently moved her arm that was resting on his waist. Supporting the back of her head with his other hand, he slowly pulled out the arm she had been pressing on. Qiao Linlin mumbled vaguely in her sleep, turned over, and fell into a deep slumber again.
Chen Fan sat up, rubbed his numb shoulder, and scanned the room.
Clothes thrown aside carelessly last night were scattered on the floor; skirts, shirts, coats, one piece here and one piece there, extending from the door all the way to the bedside.
And various beautiful uniforms that had been torn to shreds.
Looking at the mess on the floor, Chen Fan couldn't help but sigh softly, but there was a hint of helpless amusement at the corner of his mouth.
Last night was indeed a bit too absurd.
It was mainly because Qiao Linlin had been too proactive last night, and on top of that, she had put on the uniforms that Chen Fan liked, so Chen Fan hadn't been able to control himself.
He found his clothes among the pile of scattered garments, put them on, and then went to the bathroom to wash up.
After washing up, he came to the bedside and took a look, finding that Qiao Linlin had not yet woken up.
So he lowered his head and kissed Qiao Linlin on the forehead.
Qiao Linlin let out a soft moan, her delicate eyebrows twitched, her eyelashes fluttered twice, and then she slowly opened her eyes.
She blinked blankly at first. After her vision focused, she saw Chen Fan looking down at her, his eyes still carrying the moisture of just waking up, but soon that haziness dissipated, replaced by a soft smile.
She curved her eyes, her voice carrying the huskiness and sweet softness of just waking up, and she called out softly, "Boss..."
Chen Fan looked at her dazed, just-woken-up appearance, the corners of his mouth curved, and he said, "I have to go. It's the weekend today, sleep in a bit more."
Hearing this, a layer of reluctance immediately surfaced in Qiao Linlin's eyes, and her voice softened even more, "Boss, can't you stay with me a little longer?"
"I have things to do today, I can't stay with you," Chen Fan said, pretending to be helpless.
"Alright." A trace of disappointment flashed in Qiao Linlin's eyes, but it instantly returned to a smile, "Then take care on your way."
"Hmm." Chen Fan nodded and turned to walk out.
