Chapter 16: Giving Away a House and a Car
Investment company?
This was yet another completely unfamiliar field. Chen Jiang frowned, his expression shifting.
To Yan Wenshuo's surprise, Chen Jiang seemed to have completely calmed down and made a decision in just a few seconds:
"Mr. Yan, let's do as you say. I want shares in this investment company."
"Why don't you reconsider?" Yan Wenshuo asked proactively. "Even if you choose to inherit these fixed assets, it doesn't matter. To tell you the truth, if you hadn't called me back then, I wouldn't have been able to inherit the chairman's shares, so I owe you a huge favor."
"No, I'll listen to you, Mr. Yan. I don't really have much experience. Inheriting the estate was just good luck. If I get it, I'm lucky; if I lose it, it's fate." Chen Jiang shook his head firmly and made his decision.
This made Yan Wenshuo think twice about his benefactor.
After all, on one hand, there are fixed assets worth hundreds of millions, and on the other hand, there is an investment company that looks like just an empty shell... No matter who it is, they will carefully consider the difference between the two choices, because one wrong move could result in losing everything.
What he didn't understand was that Chen Jiang had already figured it out completely. He didn't really have much right to decide these things now; it was just that incredible luck had brought him to this point. So instead of trying to figure it out himself, he might as well leave everything to his own luck.
He believed that his luck would not let him down.
"Alright, since you've made up your mind, there's nothing more to say."
Yan Wenshuo stopped worrying about it, stood up with a smile, and poured Chen Jiang a cup of tea: "Have some tea first, you must be thirsty after talking for so long."
"Thank you, Mr. Yan."
Chen Jiang took the tea, and, indeed thirsty, drank it all in one gulp.
"Don't call me General Manager Yan anymore. I'm fifty years old, and you're probably only a little older than my son. Just call me Uncle Yan."
"Okay, Uncle Yan."
Chen Jiang understood basic social etiquette and immediately went along with it.
Yan Wenshuo smiled slightly, said nothing more, and sat back in the boss's chair, turning his gaze to Attorney Wang: "How did it go, Attorney Wang?"
"Alright, that's about enough."
Upon hearing this, Attorney Wang quickly took out several contracts, placed them on the coffee table, and presented them to Chen Jiang:
"Mr. Chen, please sign this contract first... Your name is here, the date is here, and you can just take a look at the terms and special agreements at the end."
Chen Jiang nodded, quickly scanned the inheritance confirmation form, and then picked up a pen to sign his name.
"Alright, then from this moment on, Mr. Chen, your inheritance is effective."
Attorney Wang took the contract, glanced at it, and nodded.
The two people who had been standing silently by finally made a move, leaning over and speaking first:
"Hello Mr. Chen, I am the notary for this inheritance."
"Hello Mr. Chen, I am a staff member of Shenzhen Bank. Please tell me your bank card number and I will arrange to transfer the funds to your account immediately."
"Oh, okay, okay."
Chen Jiang knew nothing about these things and could only follow their lead.
Fortunately, these procedures were not too long, just a bit cumbersome. But since it involved hundreds of millions of dollars, the cumbersome part didn't bother him. He had no complaints.
After a flurry of activity, the Shenzhen Bank staff finally finished and respectfully handed Chen Jiang a generic black bank card with gold-rimmed edges.
"Mr. Chen, this is your card. Because it's a Super Black Card, it also comes with dedicated customer service and contact personnel. If you need anything, you can contact your dedicated customer service at any time. We will do everything we can to help you."
Chen Jiang took the bank card, the cool touch lingering on his fingertips. The gold coating seemed to be pure gold, and it felt quite high-quality to the touch.
"I see."
"Then our mission is complete, we won't bother you any longer."
The two men nodded and bowed slightly at the same time, then said goodbye to the other two people in the room and quickly walked out of the office.
Seeing this, Attorney Wang also stood up, tidied up the documents, and said with a smile:
"Then this concludes my work for now, Mr. Yan."
"I still need to sort out the follow-up procedures, so I'll head back to get back to work now."
After saying that, he nodded to Chen Jiang and turned to leave the office.
The room was immediately left with only the two of them, and Yan Wenshuo took the initiative to speak:
"The share issue will probably take a few more days to be finalized. I'll have someone pick you up then, and you can reserve a place in the new investment company as well."
"This... Uncle Yan, I don't know anything about this, so it's not really appropriate." Chen Jiang didn't expect that he would actually be given a position. He thought he just had to wait to collect his money.
Yan Wenshuo patiently explained:
"You can learn if you don't understand, and I'm not asking you to do anything."
"You have shares in this investment company and are part of it, but due to its nature, it may become very complex in the future. I need someone I can trust to keep an eye on things for me."
"Besides, you'll only be taking a nominal position. There are professionals to handle the work, so don't worry about causing trouble."
Chen Jiang suddenly realized:
"I see......"
"Good that you understand." Yan Wenshuo said, paused for a few seconds, and then spoke again: "Now that we've finished talking about your inheritance, it's time to talk about our relationship."
"Xiao Chen, I benefited from your help this time. It was a pleasant surprise for me, but it also means I owe you a huge favor."
"Well, I..." Chen Jiang quickly shook his head, but was interrupted before he could finish speaking.
"You don't need to refuse. I know better than you what's going on, so if I say I owe you, then I owe you. It's just that..." Yan Wenshuo hesitated for two seconds, "but you're not short of money right now... I really don't know how to repay this favor."
Chen Jiang said helplessly:
"It really wasn't necessary, Uncle Yan. I just randomly picked a number and made the call."
Yan Wenshuo, however, didn't listen to what he was saying at all, and suddenly said:
"By the way, you've only inherited cash so far, nothing else, right?"
He immediately picked up the phone, made a call, and put it on speakerphone:
"I remember I had a single-level house in the Peninsula area, right?"
The reply came from the other end of the phone:
"Yes, Mr. Yan, that house is already renovated. It's a 410-square-meter single-level apartment, and the total price after renovation was around 100 million. Would you like to go take a look?"
"No, bring me the keys. I'm giving this house away." Yan Wenshuo hung up the phone and looked at Chen Jiang: "What kind of car are you driving now?"
"Forget it, let's not worry about what kind of car it is."
"The group has a lot of luxury cars that are not being driven. I'll have someone send over a list later. You can just drive away whichever one you like."
