18: Chapter 18: Are there any problems with having two Shanghai residency permits?

Yang Fan also reached out to shake hands with the two of them.

The way they were all standing clearly indicated that Ye Qingcheng and he were the leaders, so it wasn't strange that they had been mistaken.

After all, Yang Fan was dressed quite plainly and wasn't wearing a single designer brand.

When they shook hands, the two of them introduced themselves.

It was unexpected that these two knew each other.

Furthermore, the ten thousand tons of rice that Yang Fan wanted was in the warehouse of the person who was renting it out. The two of them had agreed to move the rice out before renting it out, but it turned out the owner was the same person.

"Shall we eat first or look at the contract first?"

Xu Chuncai wanted to get rid of the rice on his hands as soon as possible; after all, storage fees were very expensive, and the overhead was too high.

Yang Fan didn't know anything about contracts, so he looked at Jiang Lan and asked, "Do you know how to read contracts?"

Jiang Lan shook her head. She couldn't even understand employment contracts and had been scammed several times, let alone a contract like this.

Ye Qingcheng, who was standing to the side, was speechless. These two didn't understand anything and didn't even think to bring a lawyer along to review the contract.

"I'll take a look at it."

Ye Qingcheng stepped forward, opened the contract, and looked it over. There were no issues; it had been drafted by professional lawyers.

It was just strange to see what Yang Fan was buying: ten thousand tons of rice.

Did the price of this stuff fluctuate much? Could one make a profit from the price difference?

"There are no problems."

Yang Fan nodded and told Jiang Lan to sign the contract.

Ye Qingcheng came to Yang Fan's side and asked, "Why are you buying so much rice? The price of rice in our country is very stable. You aren't planning on making money through retail, are you?"

"Logically speaking, you shouldn't be this stupid!"

Yang Fan was speechless. The way she said that made it feel like she knew him very well.

"It's a hobby, just like how your old man likes collecting things."

Ye Qingcheng had never seen someone so perfunctory; he didn't even put effort into lying.

This guy was buying so much rice that it was as if a war was about to break out.

After the meal, Xu Chuncai and his partner took everyone to the warehouse to look at the rice.

The goods were stacked very neatly, and the warehouse was climate-controlled. Seeing so much rice for the first time was quite shocking.

Yang Fan opened a bag to check it; it was imported Vietnamese rice, and the quality was quite good.

Yang Fan also walked around the area, and the surveillance cameras had indeed been removed.

There were no issues, so Yang Fan transferred the money to both of them.

"Well, if you need a large amount of rice in the future, you can contact me!"

Yang Fan nodded. He would likely need them in the future.

Once Xu Chuncai finished speaking, the two of them bid everyone farewell.

As for Ye Qingcheng, she stayed outside the warehouse, perhaps because she wasn't used to the warehouse environment.

"Jiang Lan, go see what Ye Qingcheng and the others are doing, and wait for me by the car with them."

"Alright, boss."

Jiang Lan acknowledged him and left. Although she didn't know what the boss was staying behind for, it was enough for her to just listen to him.

Once Jiang Lan left, Yang Fan pressed his hand directly onto the base where the rice was stored, and a "mountain of rice" instantly vanished.

In just a few minutes, Yang Fan had put all the rice into the space where he traded with Emperor Taizong of Tang.

"Sister Ye, did you notice that all the surveillance cameras here have been removed?"

Long Aotian asked Ye Qingcheng as soon as he got into the car. After all, it was impossible for such a large warehouse not to have a single surveillance camera installed.

"Hmm, someone must have asked him to do that."

Ye Qingcheng didn't care about the rice. Although it was a lot, it didn't have any impact on the market.

Watching Yang Fan walk over slowly, she thought this guy was still quite mysterious. His composure was incredible; even when trading so much money, his emotions hadn't fluctuated significantly.

Moreover, when he looked at her, there was no desire in his eyes, but rather a sense of appreciating beauty.

How could such a person come from an ordinary family? Was it destined for a person to experience hardships from birth?

"Should we find a few people to keep an eye on this place?"

Long Aotian felt that this was a dangerous person and that they needed to see who exactly was behind him.

"Forget it. I suspect the person behind the scenes won't look for him again the next time they sell something."

"There's no need to watch him."

If Ye Qingcheng were the person behind the scenes, she wouldn't use him anymore; after all, no boss likes their subordinates making decisions for them.

If someone like that appeared in her own company, she would have fired them long ago.

On Yang Fan's side, as soon as he got into the car, he saw Jiang Lan wiping away tears.

"What's wrong? Did they say something to you?"

"No, it's my mom. She heard you were willing to pay 888,000 in bride price and thinks your family is wealthy, so she said she would consider it."

"She just called again saying she wants to increase the bride price to 1.588 million, saying it would be just enough to buy a house and car for my younger brother, and told me to work on you."

Yang Fan handed a tissue to Jiang Lan.

This mother was simply invincible. Originally, if Jiang Lan's younger brother were to get married in the future, Yang Fan had been prepared to gift a car.

Now, her mother's behavior made Yang Fan feel that for every pitiful person, there is a detestable side to them.

Three marriages wouldn't be enough...

Yang Fan wasn't planning on paying the bride price anymore, and he was still going to take Jiang Lan.

"Alright, it's fine, I'll handle it."

Upon arriving at the hotel, Yang Fan returned to his room and took out that piece of calligraphy by Emperor Taizong of Tang.

Ye Qingcheng walked around the room.

"You really know how to pick a room; this room is the same one Dilraba Dilmurat used."

"Oh."

"I don't know, I don't follow celebrities."

Yang Fan pushed the box over.

Ye Qingcheng opened the box and unfolded the calligraphy.

Although she didn't understand calligraphy, she could still see the "aura" in the characters. It really was like seeing the person behind the handwriting.

"Hmm, since the old professor has already authenticated it, there shouldn't be any problems. I'll be going now; you should have received the money a long time ago."

"Wait, let's make another deal."

"I want to transfer someone's Hukou. You understand what I mean, right?"

Ye Qingcheng had been about to get up, but after hearing Yang Fan's words, she sat back down.

She knew whose Hukou Yang Fan wanted to transfer; it was this girl beside him.

She had to admit that Yang Fan had good taste. Despite being born into such a family, this girl still had such a face and temperament.

"This is not easy to handle. After all, transferring someone else's Hukou without authorization is a huge deal..."

Ye Qingcheng put on a troubled expression. In reality, this matter was very simple, but she had to make it seem difficult in order to increase the stakes.

As for the favor Yang Fan owed her grandfather, she didn't expect him to use it for such a trivial matter.

Yang Fan knew this would be the case. The last time she said to ask her for help with anything, it was pure nonsense. This woman was someone who wouldn't release the hawk until she saw the rabbit.

"A piece of calligraphy written casually by Emperor Taizong of Tang."

Yang Fan spoke directly. Getting Emperor Taizong of Tang to casually write a few characters was too simple.

But for Ye Qingcheng, it was like using a cannon to kill a mosquito.

Damn it, selling the calligraphy of Emperor Taizong of Tang would probably fetch hundreds of millions. If you just gave Jiang Lan's mother a few million, wouldn't she just deliver the Hukou to your doorstep?

At this moment, she felt that the calligraphy in her hand was fake!!!

It was too ridiculous. Was the calligraphy of Emperor Taizong of Tang really that worthless?

"Actually, this matter isn't difficult. With this piece of calligraphy, it's simple!"

Ye Qingcheng thought to herself that only a fool wouldn't take advantage of such a bargain. Although it was difficult to handle, it wasn't impossible!!!

Wouldn't it just be a matter of getting both of them Shanghai Hukou?

Her father was the Mayor of Shanghai; two Shanghai Hukou shouldn't be much of a problem, right?

She only said it was difficult for Yang Fan's benefit. If it were truly difficult, she wouldn't have even responded. After all, she knew what could be done and what couldn't.
