Reborn As Super Heiress

Chapter 779: Chapter 775: Black on White

Zhong Zifan didn’t truly care about the two hundred thousand, he just didn’t want to spend that much on a piece of Sand Hole Raw Material like this, feeling it was a waste of money. However, seeing Huo Sining’s insistent expression, he didn’t feel right to dissuade her further and had to agree.

If Huo Sining had wanted to buy the raw material worth half a million, Wang Zhongwei might have made things difficult, but this Sand Hole Raw Material was practically picked up for free and had been lying unsold at home for several years, essentially rotting away. Now that there was actually a fool willing to pay two hundred thousand for it, Wang Zhongwei couldn’t wish for more, so why would he refuse?

Wang Zhongwei didn’t believe Huo Sining knew anything about stone gambling. Moreover, the chances of cutting green from this Sand Hole were very low, so he was eager to offload it. Hearing Huo Sining say she wanted to buy it, he immediately found a bag to pack it up, as if afraid she might change her mind.

Although she knew Wang Zhongwei wouldn’t regret it, Huo Sining realized from his previous behavior that doing business with such a person couldn’t be taken lightly, or else it would be too easy to fall for his tricks.

Previously, Zhong Zifan had treated Wang Zhongwei as a friend, so paying a ten-thousand-yuan deposit was just a verbal agreement. Yet the moment his back was turned, Wang colluded with Zhong Yuejin, teaming up to scam Zhong Zifan and completely denying the deposit agreement.

Such a person was not to be trusted, so Huo Sining had to be cautious.

These two pieces of raw material were still uncut, and the specifics inside unknown, which was why Wang Zhongwei was keen on selling them. But once Huo Sining opened the raw materials tomorrow, Wang Zhongwei probably wouldn’t feel the same way.

Fuzhou wasn’t very big, and since the raw material was going to be opened, it naturally had to be done to maximize profit. Huo Sining planned to publicly gamble the stones in Zhong Zifan’s store, but this meant that the news would likely reach Wang Zhongwei’s ears soon enough.

Given Wang Zhongwei’s character, he definitely wouldn’t be happy with such a loss. Therefore, to be safe, Huo Sining felt she had to sign a proper sales contract with Wang Zhongwei. That way, even if he found out he had lost out, he’d have to swallow the bitter pill himself!

Once bitten, twice shy; with the contract in black and white, Wang Zhongwei would not dare to cause a fuss openly.

Looking at the bag Wang Zhongwei passed to her, Huo Sining didn’t take it into her hands but said with a half-smile,

”Boss Wang, it’s not that I don’t trust you, but I’m not very familiar with the rules of the jade trade. Two hundred thousand is not a small amount. Since we’re going through with this transaction, we should at least sign a more formal contract. Otherwise, I dare not take your raw material with me.”

Hearing Huo Sining’s words, Wang Zhongwei’s smile became somewhat unnatural on his face.

Of course, he understood the subtext of Huo Sining’s words. With the previous incident of him deceiving Zhong Zifan, his credibility with both Zhong Zifan and Huo Sining was already in the negative. Now that Huo Sining openly showed her distrust, there was nothing Wang Zhongwei could do about it.

”Fine, just a contract, which is to be expected. It’s not uncommon to see written agreements in the circle. Miss Huo, you are right to be careful and cautious.”

Wang Zhongwei was adaptable and knew how to act according to the situation. Seeing that Huo Sining insisted on signing a written contract, he didn’t refuse. He went straight to his study, sat down at the computer, and quickly typed up two copies of a sales contract.

The contract was actually quite simple, just two or three hundred words. The most crucial sentence stated that both pieces of raw material, the Sand Hole and the red-spotted black wool rough jade, were traded voluntarily by both parties for a price of two hundred thousand, with the Sand Hole valued at two hundred thousand and the Hongban Heiwusha as a bonus. After the payment was settled, once the deal was done, no matter if the materials turned out to be worthless stones or imperial green, they were no longer Wang Zhongwei’s concern.

At the bottom of an A4-sized paper, spaces for signatures and thumbprints of both parties were printed, along with a section to fill in the ID numbers.

”Boss Wang is quite fast, it seems you are very familiar with this kind of business contract,” Huo Sining said with a smile, glancing first at Wang Zhongwei then at Zhong Zifan, her implication very clear.

This person wasn’t ignorant of legal provisions and had signed similar contracts with others, but when doing business with Zhong Zifan, he seemed to have deliberately forgotten this, couldn’t his intent be any more obvious?

Zhong Zifan’s complexion turned a bit unsightly, and his eyes were filled with such a dark gloom as if they were about to drip water when looking at Wang Zhongwei.

Wang Zhongwei, as if he hadn’t seen it at all, just kept smiling at Huo Sining, ”Miss Huo, please check the contract, and if there’s no issue, shall we sign?”

Huo Sining picked up the two contracts and looked them over carefully three or four times. After comparing both and confirming there were no issues, she finally nodded and said, ”No problem, let’s sign.”

Just as Wang Zhongwei was about to sign, Huo Sining suddenly called out, ”Wait!”

Startled by Huo Sining’s exclamation, Wang Zhongwei almost dropped the pen. He looked up at Huo Sining with bewildered and somewhat displeased eyes and asked, ”What’s the matter?”

Wang Zhongwei, fearing that Huo Sining was going to have second thoughts at this point, had a wary and slightly tense expression as he gripped the pen tightly.

Huo Sining placed the contract on the table and looked at Wang Zhongwei with a smile, ”Before signing, I think it would be better for us to verify each other’s identity cards first.”

Hearing this, the anxiety in Wang Zhongwei’s heart finally settled, and he let out a long sigh of relief. He nodded, took out his identity card from his wallet, and handed it to Huo Sining.

Huo Sining smiled and also took out her identity card from her backpack.

After handing over her identity card to Wang Zhongwei, Huo Sining scrutinized Wang Zhongwei’s identity card carefully.

Wang Zhongwei’s identity card was a second-generation one and didn’t seem fake. After checking the photo and age, which completely matched the person, Huo Sining finally relaxed.

On the other hand, after looking at Huo Sining’s identity card, Wang Zhongwei was first surprised by her age and then frowned upon seeing her full name.

”What’s the matter, is there a problem?” Seeing Wang Zhongwei frown, Huo Sining couldn’t help but ask.

Earlier, after Huo Sining and Zhong Zifan had entered, she had introduced herself, but at that time, Huo Sining had only mentioned her surname and not her full name, so Wang Zhongwei didn’t know Huo Sining’s exact name.

Now, seeing the full name on Huo Sining’s identity card, Wang Zhongwei felt he had heard the name somewhere before, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t remember.

Wang Zhongwei shook his head, lowered it, and looked at Huo Sining’s identity card a few times again, hoping in vain to understand why it seemed familiar, but alas, he couldn’t figure anything out and had to give up.
