As a Magnate, I Started Checking in at a Convenience Store

“Let’s just take a casual stroll. It’s been years since I’ve been out like this, and 1 don’t know what changes have occurred in the city.”

Guo Yan mumbled something in response to his words.

“What’s up? Your mouth hasn’t stopped since a while ago!”

“That certain someone just said we were going to buy fireworks, and now, as soon as we step outside, you’re acting like you have forgotten everything. Is that right, Brother? Is that how you treat others?” Zhou Chao burst into laughter at Guo Yan’s playful complaints.

“Bro, you’re still laughing! I’m really upset!” Guo Yan, with her puffed-up cheeks, resembled a pufferfish.

“Alright, alright! Brother will buy them for you! But not today, I’ll get them for you on New Year’s Eve. That should work, right?”

“Brother, you’re not lying to me, are you?”

“Why would I lie to you? What’s in it for me?” After a moment of contemplation, Guo Yan seemed to agree.

“Get in the car!” Guo Yan watched as Zhou Chao got into a large Mercedes-Benz. Her eyes lit up, and she rushed over, climbing into the passenger seat.

“Gogogo, Brother, let’s go!” Seeing Guo Yan so excited, Zhou Chao wondered if taking her out for fun was the right decision.

They drove slowly along Binjiang Road, realizing that the area had undergone significant changes. The old buildings they remembered had been demolished, and replaced by new apartment complexes.

Previously, Zhou Chao had come back a few times, but none of those times had been like this, where he took his time to appreciate the changes in the city.

“I seem to have 10 more properties for rent in the Binjiang community.” Zhou Chao suddenly remembered. He had forgotten about this matter entirely.

“Guo Yan, do you have your ID with you?”

“I have my ID, why do you ask, Brother?” Guo Yan looked puzzled as she continued to watch Zhou Chao drive.

“It’s nothing major. Come on, we’ll stop by my place first,” Zhou Chao said, deliberately maintaining an air of mystery.

“Bro, what are you up to back home?”

“You’ll find out in a moment!” Zhou Chao playfully replied, trying to maintain an air of mystery.

“Ugh, why are you being so secretive? Nobody cares.”

In less than ten minutes, Zhou Chao arrived at his residential complex and drove straight into the garage.

“Wait for me in the car for a moment. I’ll be back soon!” Zhou Chao said before getting out of the car.

Left alone in the car, Guo Yan watched Zhou Chao enter the elevator. She seemed to still be in a slightly irritated mood, hugging herself tightly.

Soon, Zhou Chao returned, carrying a bag with him. He threw it onto the back seat and then opened the car door to get in.

“Alright, let’s go!”

“Brother, where are we going?” Guo Yan glanced at the bag in the back seat, looking puzzled.

“To the approval center!” Zhou Chao’s words left Guo Yan even more bewildered, and she fell into deep thought.

Zhou Chao’s place was not far from the approval center. After leaving the residential area, it took less than two minutes to arrive.

“Let’s go!” Zhou Chao parked the car and brought the bag from the back seat. He looked at Guo Yan, who was still sitting in the car, and gestured for her to follow.

Seeing Zhou Chao heading down, Guo Yan also opened the car door and jumped out.

“Brother, what exactly are you planning to do?” Zhou Chao chuckled at her question but didn’t reply. Instead, he walked towards the entrance.

“Hello, may I ask which floor the transfer office is on?” Zhou Chao stood in front of the information desk and asked the middle-aged man.

“On the 4th floor.”

“Alright, thank you.” Guo Yan, who was listening to their conversation behind them, appeared deep in thought.

“What are you waiting for? Is the elevator here? Let’s go!” Thankfully, there weren’t many people around, and the two of them entered the elevator. They reached the 4th floor quickly.

As soon as they exited the elevator, three or four people approached them. “Sir, do you need assistance?”

Zhou Chao looked at them as they chattered and chose a middle-aged man who seemed straightforward.

“It’s you! The rest of you, go your separate ways!” Although Zhou Chao’s tone was light, his gaze was sharp. The remaining people dispersed to find their next clients.

“Alright, let’s get straight to business! I need a transfer done, as quickly as possible, money is not an issue!” Zhou Chao didn’t want to waste time and went straight to the point.

“Sir, no problem!” The agent immediately led Zhou Chao and Guo Yan to a window and informed the person inside. Then, he turned to face Zhou Chao.

“Do you have your property certificate and ID with you, sir?”

“I have them both.” Zhou Chao handed over the bag he was holding and took out his ID.

“Guo Yan, give me your ID too!” Guo Yan was starting to understand what was happening – Zhou Chao was transferring a property to her!

“Brother, why are you transferring a property your uncle left for you to me? I can’t accept it!” Zhou Chao looked at Guo Yan’s angry expression and smiled happily, confirming that he had made the right decision.

“Who said I’m transferring the property I’m living in to you? You’re thinking too much. Just give me your ID!” Guo Yan reluctantly handed over her ID.

“Everything is here. We want the process to be as fast as possible. Once it’s done, how much do we owe? Just tell us!” The agent took the bag, which felt heavy, and opened it to reveal a stack of red property certificates.

“This…” The agent was surprised when he looked at Zhou Chao. Zhou Chao gave him a meaningful look, urging him to hurry up. The agent then took the bag to the window.

The two chatted for about 20 minutes, and then the agent came back, asking Zhou Chao and Guo Yan to sign some documents.

After signing, the staff quickly completed the verification process, leaving only the payment and issuance of the new certificates.

“How much is it in total?”

“Mr. Zhou, the transfer fee is a total of 126,800!” As soon as the agent finished speaking, Guo Yan, who was beside him, exclaimed in astonishment.

“Brother, how can it be so expensive? Is there something fishy going on here?” Guo Yan looked like an angry little lioness, glaring at the agent.

“Guo Yan! There’s nothing fishy!” Guo Yan looked at Zhou Chao in confusion, and Zhou Chao didn’t say much. He just followed the agent to the payment counter.

He handed over his black card, and the staff member took it, looking at Zhou Chao with amazement. Zhou Chao cleared his throat.

“Sorry, sir!” The staff member acted swiftly. After processing the payment here, another window began to issue the new certificates.

Zhou Chao retrieved his black card and, after waiting for about 10 minutes, the ten property certificates were all ready. The agent packed them into a bag and handed it to Zhou Chao.

“How much do you need here?”

“Sir, just 500 will do.” The agent had learned from the staff that the person in front of him might be a super-rich second-generation, so he didn’t ask for a high price and charged the minimum.

“Scan the code!” The agent quickly opened the payment code, and Zhou Chao transferred 5,000 directly. No questions asked – he was delighted!

“Thank you, boss!” The agent was all smiles as he saw the credited amount.

“Here you go, just take it.” Guo Yan received the bag, feeling that it was exceptionally heavy.

“Let’s go. You can take a closer look in the car.”

As soon as they got in the car, Guo Yan couldn’t wait to open the bag. It turned out to be a stack of property certificates. She opened one, and her name was clearly written on it.

“Brother, what’s this?”

“Well, consider it your New Year’s gift!” Then he drove towards the Golden

Coast..
