Su Lin didn't know what Lin Xiaowan had said to the family selling the house, but he and Xia Shiyu would never forget the scene when that family saw Lin Xiaowan.
"Classmate Su Lin, I want to interview you. Today is the day we sign our first contract. Are you feeling nervous?"
Su Lin smiled as he steered the car, "Xiao Wan, look at my hands, then look at my feet. Look how steadily I'm driving. Do you think I'm nervous?"
Lin Xiaowan suddenly lost some of her enthusiasm, "I forgot that you've been doing business before. You've handled deals worth tens of millions. Buying a house is really not a big deal for you, is it?"
"Heh heh!! I don't know if I'm nervous, but Xiao Wan, I can tell you're very nervous—"
"Mmm! I feel a bit nervous too, Su Lin. This is the first step of our entrepreneurship." Xia Shiyu said with some excitement and anticipation.
"Yes, this is our first step. We have to take it well."
The car stopped, and Su Lin got out with the contract he had prepared. Xia Shiyu and Lin Xiaowan followed closely behind.
Today, Lin Xiaowan had deliberately changed into a more mature outfit. She had lost a bit of her youthful aura and gained more allure, looking like a seductive rose that attracted countless gazes.
Lin Xiaowan's lips curved into a confident smile.
Su Lin waved his hand grandly, "Let's go, time to sign the contract."
"Okay~!"
As the three of them got out of the car, a woman in her forties walked out from the building.
The moment she saw Lin Xiaowan, she looked like a traveler in the desert spotting an oasis, her eyes instantly becoming fervent.
"Oh, Miss Lin, I've been waiting for you, wishing on stars and moon, and finally, you're here."
"You have no idea how much I've missed you these past two days. I was wrong before, my mind was clouded by greed, and I insisted on charging you nine hundred thousand."
At this moment, two older people also came out of the house. Seeing Lin Xiaowan, they also became excited.
"Miss Lin, you're finally here. My mother said that charging nine hundred thousand was her mistake that day. I've already spoken to her."
"Yes, yes, Miss Lin. Our whole family has already discussed it. Eight hundred thousand, a fixed price of eight hundred thousand, and we'll sell. There's just one condition: no delays. The money must be paid on the spot."
"Miss Lin, please, please do us a favor and buy the house."
Su Lin and Xia Shiyu exchanged glances. He pulled Lin Xiaowan aside and whispered, "Xiao Wan, what's going on? Why are these people treating this building like a plague and begging you to buy it?"
Lin Xiaowan chuckled and winked at Su Lin, "Did you forget what I said earlier? Treat the illness with the right medicine."
"One of these two brothers is getting married and needs a wedding house, hehe."
Su Lin immediately understood. With Lin Xiaowan's intelligence, knowing this point, she would definitely use it to her advantage.
The three people in front of them clearly looked like the type of family that preached filial piety while being inwardly selfish.
Lin Xiaowan said with a smile, "Auntie Fang, as I said before, I'm not here with the same price as last time. It's a fixed price of seven hundred and eighty thousand. If you sell, we can sign the contract today and transfer the money to you at the bank. If not..."
"Miss Lin, you don't need to say more. We'll sell!!!"
"Yes, yes, yes, my brother is right. We'll sell. Miss Lin, you don't need to say anything else. Bring the contract, and I'll have my mother sign it."
"Miss Lin, please bring out the contract quickly. It's better to sign it sooner."
She held resentment towards Lin Xiaowan.
Ever since Lin Xiaowan visited their home twice, the household had been in chaos.
The elder son wanted to get married, the younger son wanted to start a business, and the elderly couple didn't want to sell the house.
The older and younger sons came to cause trouble, turning the place upside down.
They were all stubborn and unreasonable.
Lin Xiaowan actually didn't do much. She just learned about the family's situation and went to their door, which led to the current situation.
In short, the house suddenly became a hot potato in the hands of the elderly couple, and they had no choice but to sell.
However, no one was willing to take it off their hands for a while.
So, Su Lin originally planned to buy it at a premium, but after Lin Xiaowan's operation, it turned into a discounted purchase.
"Su Lin, where's the contract you prepared? Hurry up and get it."
Su Lin nodded, feeling a little emotional.
He previously thought he had utilized Lin Xiaowan to the fullest, but now he realized he had underestimated her abilities.
Someone who could allow the protagonist to be a hands-off manager couldn't be treated like an ordinary person.
"No wonder these protagonists can be hands-off managers; it's really because these heroines are too capable."
Seeing a leopard's spot reveals its whole body. The fact that she could make this family eager to sell in such a short time, without resorting to unconventional methods, showed how capable Lin Xiaowan was.
This was just the beginning of her involvement in business.
If she spent a few more years in the business world, navigating its ups and downs, wouldn't she be able to contend with the older generation?
"What are you muttering about, Su Lin?"
"Oh! I was just saying that this place is a bit remote. I wonder if I'll lose money after buying it."
"No, no, don't worry, big brother. Our location is on Xingfu Avenue and Zhongjiang Avenue. You won't find many better locations in the entire Jiangning District. Whether you're washing cars or doing business, you'll make money here."
Su Lin glanced at the man in front of him. He looked to be around thirty. Being called "big brother" by a seventeen-year-old high school student felt a bit strange.
Lin Xiaowan gently nudged Su Lin and said, "Su Lin, just take what you can get. Don't push too hard, or they might refuse to sell and it won't be fun anymore."
Su Lin nodded, then took out the contract and showed it to them.
The two brothers took the contract and only looked at the price. Once they confirmed the price was correct, they directly threw it to their mother. One bowed his back, and the other handed over a pen. Their coordination made it impossible to believe they weren't real brothers.
"Sigh~! This is truly a sin."
The old woman sighed helplessly and signed the contract.
"Brothers, you should really look at the contract carefully to avoid any disputes later."
Lin Xiaowan nodded. "Su Lin is right. You should examine the contract closely."
The brothers exchanged a look, then took the contract and began to study it. They would ponder at times, and at others, their brows would furrow, as if they understood the contract completely, or as if they hadn't grasped anything at all.
Su Lin lamented that with two brothers like these, this family would surely go bankrupt even if they were billionaires.
"We've looked over the contract carefully. There are no issues. Miss Lin, when can we receive the money?"
Lin Xiaowan rolled her eyes. "Don't worry. Once the contract is signed, the money will be in your account today."
"Really? The bank is quite far from here. You probably don't know the way, so I'll escort you."
Su Lin felt a bit helpless, unable to decide whether to laugh or cry. "We drove here."
"It's okay, I drove too. I'll give you directions." The man then pulled out a motorcycle key.
"Then... alright, we'll trouble you, big brother."
"No trouble at all, no trouble. We'll both accompany you."
Su Lin: "..."
Chen Yang's sister, Chen Lin! [Seeking subscriptions]
The bank teller processing the transfer was quite taken aback.
The company Su Lin registered was named - Zhongjiang Yulin Co., Ltd.! The legal representative was none other than Xia Shiyu.
And Xia Shiyu had just turned eighteen.
There was no other way. Although Xia Shiyu appeared to be the youngest of the three, she was actually the oldest in terms of age.
Neither Su Lin nor Lin Xiaowan had reached eighteen yet.
All three were quite happy with the naming of Su Lin's company.
A character from each of Su Lin, Lin Xiaowan, and Xia Shiyu was perfectly integrated into the two characters of 'Yulin' (Rain Forest).
After leaving the bank, all three were somewhat pleased.
Especially Xia Shiyu and Lin Xiaowan.
"Yeah, we finally bought it! Su Lin, how was it? Am I amazing?" Lin Xiaowan looked at Su Lin, seeking praise.
Su Lin gave her a thumbs up. "Amazing, truly amazing."
"Heh heh, it's rare for you to affirm my work ability so strongly, Su Lin."
Su "Seven Two Seven" Lin chuckled. "Xiao Wan, you're mistaken. I've never denied your work ability. Otherwise, why do you think I entrusted this task to you?"
"Actually, I think highly of both you and Xiao Yu. If Xiao Yu had handled it, she probably could have bought it too, but the process wouldn't have been as smooth. Xiao Wan, you're so good at understanding people's hearts. Those guys were thanking you just now."
"Heh heh heh, I think this is like being sold and still helping to count the money."
"Hahaha~!!" The three of them burst into laughter.
Su Lin checked the time. It was still early. He hadn't expected buying the house today to go so smoothly.
"Xiao Wan, it's all thanks to you that we can get off work so early today. You arrange what we do next."
Lin Xiaowan took Xia Shiyu's hand and said, "Xiao Yu, I wasn't there for your birthday. Let me make it up to you today, how about it?"
Xia Shiyu waved her hand. "Xiao Wan, I don't really care about birthdays. What's past is past."
"No way, this is your eighteenth birthday! How can we just let it pass casually?"
