409: Signed a house purchase contract
With the help of the Ministry of Science and Technology, Liu Xiaolin suddenly regained his confidence: "Tomorrow, I'll talk to those lawyers again. I hope I can persuade one or two of them to work with us."
Full of hope, Liu Xiaolin was no longer so dejected: "Get some good rest. Tomorrow is another day to strive for!"
The next day, Liu Xiaolin received a call from Xiao Hongmei early in the morning: "Xiaolin, don't forget to sign the contract with Brother Li in a bit. I won't go with you; I still have to go to work."
"Why don't I drive you to work first?" Liu Xiaolin said eagerly.
"No need, it's very convenient for me to take the bus. That's it, goodbye." Xiao Hongmei hung up the phone and hurried off to catch the bus.
"Hongmei is really too thoughtful. Even though she's so busy, she still remembered to remind me." Liu Xiaolin felt a sweet warmth in his heart.
After washing up, he ate breakfast on the first floor and then drove straight to Xiao Hongmei's residential complex.
Originally, he had planned to go directly with his luggage, but he abandoned the idea for fear of new problems arising.
When he rushed into 1401, he found that not only Brother Li but also Lawyer Zhang were waiting inside.
"Hello, Brother Li, I'm not late, am I?" Liu Xiaolin greeted him, "Why is Lawyer Zhang here too?"
"Not late, not late, we just arrived too." Brother Li asked in surprise, "You know my cousin?"
"Ah? Lawyer Zhang is your cousin? What a coincidence, haha. I just met Lawyer Zhang yesterday." Liu Xiaolin said with great surprise, "I wanted to ask him to handle a case for us, but unfortunately, he refused."
Zhang Sanjian, who had been silent, spoke up: "My cousin said someone wanted to buy his house and actually offered 300,000 for renovation compensation. I was afraid he'd be scammed, so I came along to check. I didn't expect it to be you. Since it's you, I'm relieved."
"Exactly, my cousin mocked me, saying who would be so foolish as to offer renovation compensation. Now do you believe it?" Brother Li said with a grin, "I'm just that lucky to meet such a good buyer."
"That's nothing. People should always treat others as they wish to be treated," Liu Xiaolin said with a smile.
Lawyer Zhang had a good impression of Liu Xiaolin yesterday, but he had refused Dr. Hai's case because he feared Deputy Mayor Tan's power. Now, seeing Liu Xiaolin being so generous to his cousin, he felt even more guilty.
"Mr. Liu, although I can't take your case, I can recommend a few lawyers in the Capital for you. What do you think?" Zhang Sanjian said.
"Really? That would be great!" Liu Xiaolin was overjoyed.
"Cousin, you actually refused Mr. Liu's invitation? That won't do! Now he and I are good buddies. You have to help him no matter what." Brother Li immediately disagreed after catching on.
"Cousin, this case is very tricky. You don't understand. I'll explain it to you in detail later." Zhang Sanjian said with difficulty.
"Exactly, let's sign the contract first. After the contract is signed, I'll transfer the house payment to you, and then we'll immediately go through the transfer of ownership. I want to move in tonight!" Liu Xiaolin said with a smile.
"Okay, let's sign the contract first. Cousin, where are the contracts you printed for me? Hurry up and get them out." Brother Li said.
Zhang Sanjian took out two contracts from his briefcase: "I, a dignified lawyer, have become your errand boy! Do you know how much my consultation fee is per hour?"
"No matter how much you charge others, I'm not giving you a single cent. If you want to charge a consultation fee, go ask my aunt, who is your own mother." Brother Li said with an unreasonable look, laughing.
"Are you trying to get my mom to beat me to death? You're up to no good!" Zhang Sanjian said with a smile, "Hurry up and sign. After you sign, you two can go handle the transfer yourselves. I won't be accompanying you."
"Okay, let's sign." Liu Xiaolin said readily.
After both signed and pressed their fingerprints, the contract was considered signed.
Liu Xiaolin transferred 1.5 million in cash according to the Receiving Payments account specified in the contract. As soon as he pressed the confirm button on his mobile banking app, Brother Li received a text message alert: "Your bank account ending in **** has received a payment of 1.5 million yuan. Please check."
"Great, the money and goods are settled. Let's go handle the transfer of ownership now." Brother Li said happily.
"Did you bring your property deed?" Liu Xiaolin asked.
"Oh no, I forgot about that! I'll go back to my mom's place to get the property deed now. You guys wait for me here for a bit, okay?" Brother Li said and then turned and left.
Only Liu Xiaolin and Zhang Sanjian remained in the room, and the atmosphere was a bit awkward.
"Well, congratulations on your successful home purchase." Zhang Sanjian said, making small talk.
"Thank you. I didn't expect us to have such a connection." Liu Xiaolin said.
At this moment, he wanted to try again, especially with Director Zhao's promise, which gave him great confidence.
"Lawyer Zhang, yesterday I called Director Zhao of the Ministry of Science and Technology to report Dr. Hai's frame-up. Director Zhao was very angry, and he decided to go with Minister Yang of the Ministry of Science and Technology to the Commission for Discipline Inspection and Supervision to report Deputy Mayor Tan." Liu Xiaolin recounted the details of his conversation with Director Zhao yesterday: "Even if Deputy Mayor Tan can cover the sky with one hand in Yuhai City, he's nothing in the eyes of the Ministry of Science and Technology leaders!"
"Really? Minister Yang of the Ministry of Science and Technology and others are going to get involved in this case?" Zhang Sanjian said with great surprise.
"Yes, Director Zhao not only agreed to help us report Deputy Mayor Tan but also agreed to help us find a few lawyers." Liu Xiaolin continued.
"This is good news then. You won't have to worry about not finding lawyers." Zhang Sanjian said with a complex expression.
When he heard that Minister Yang and Director Zhao of the Ministry of Science and Technology were going to get involved in this case, he had been inclined to agree to Liu Xiaolin, but then Liu Xiaolin told him that Director Zhao was going to help him find lawyers, so he would have to step aside.
"But, I still hope you can help us!" Liu Xiaolin saw Zhang Sanjian's thoughts and quickly said, "You are the most famous economic case lawyer in Longguo and you are very familiar with Yuhai City's various tax policies. I still believe you are the most suitable candidate."
"Thank you for your trust, but you can't just not use the lawyers Director Zhao recommends, can you? Wouldn't that be letting down his good intentions?" Zhang Sanjian understood human nature.
"This is what I plan: I want to hire a Lawyer Team, with you as the chief lawyer of the Lawyer Team. The other lawyers will cooperate with your work, and together we can quickly advance the appeal process. What do you think?" Liu Xiaolin expressed his thoughts in one breath.
Zhang Sanjian was a bit surprised after hearing Liu Xiaolin's idea: "You actually want to hire a Lawyer Team? That would cost a lot!"
