Outsider: The Fifth Young Master of the Kang Family

Chapter 351: One House Sold Twice

"So when are you moving?"

Seeing that Brother Niu was so confident, Kang Qirui did not continue to ask. He took the initiative to ask Brother Niu about moving. Brother Niu smiled and said, "Of course the sooner the better. I thought about moving immediately after paying the money before the New Year. Unfortunately, I can't find anyone to move during the New Year. I originally wanted to ask you brothers to help, but you are the only one left."

Kang Qirui thought for a moment and said, "Da Laogong is in Guangzhou. Yongfang didn't have time to go back for the New Year, so he stayed with her in Guangzhou. Brother Niu, do you have a lot of stuff? Da Laogong has a truck. If there isn't much stuff, it's no problem for the three of us men to carry it."

Hearing this, Brother Niu jumped up excitedly, "Well, what can a rough guy like me have when I rent a house by myself? The furniture and appliances all belong to the landlord, and I only have a few pieces of luggage. Let's move today, let's move today, and I'll treat you to a meal after we're done. A'rui, ask Uncle Kang and Aunt Kang to come along."

He was about to walk out happily, but suddenly stopped and turned back and said, "Isn't it inappropriate to ask you to help with moving on the second day of the Chinese New Year?" Brother Niu has been in Guangzhou for several years and knows that Guangzhou people have many taboos during the Chinese New Year, so he quickly added.

Kang Qirui shook his head, pointed at the calendar on the wall and said with a smile: "Brother Niu, look here, it says today is not a good day to get married, open a business, or have a burial. You are moving, it's okay, let's go."

Brother Niu nodded, took two steps forward and stopped. Kang Qirui looked at him in confusion. He said embarrassedly, "Didn't I just say that the furniture and appliances where I live now belong to the landlord. The new house is a second-hand house with decoration, but there are no furniture and appliances. I can't live there now."

"That's it?" Kang Qirui said with a smile, "Furniture and electrical appliances are so simple, and they are on sale today for the New Year. Do you think this is okay? We'll help you move your things first, and then we'll go to the furniture and electrical appliance city together."

"Okay, I, Old Niu, don't understand or care about these things, so you can help me choose when the time comes, haha." Brother Niu didn't have any objection to hearing this. He was really eager to move out, not only because his rent had expired, but also because the neighbors in the community where he rented were too noisy during the New Year, which kept him awake every night.

After Kang Qirui and Brother Niu went out, they first called to ask where Dalaogong was. After learning that he was in the clothing company, they asked him to drive the truck to Brother Niu's house to help with the move. Dalaogong was also a kind-hearted person, so he agreed without saying a word.

Kang Qirui and Brother Niu arrived at the community where Brother Niu rented almost at the same time as Da Laogong, and the three of them packed up Brother Niu's house together. Brother Niu threw away many of his things if possible, and the things he wanted to take away only filled two suitcases.

The three of them soon arrived at Brother Niu's new home. After opening the door, Brother Niu casually pointed to the corner of the living room and said, "Come on, put your things here."

As soon as Kang Qirui entered the room, he saw the sofa, tea table and other furniture in the living room. He couldn't help but frowned. Didn't Brother Niu say there was nothing here? Just as he was about to ask Brother Niu, he saw a man walking out of the room. He asked half-confusedly and half-angrily, "What are you three doing in my house? How did you get in?"

"Who is he?" Da Lao Gong looked at Brother Niu and asked.

"What did you say?" Brother Niu was also confused. He looked at the man and asked doubtfully, "You said this house is yours?"

"Nonsense, this house is not mine, is it yours?" The man snorted and asked. Brother Niu was furious when he heard this. He cursed: "I say, are you crazy? I spent more than 400,000 yuan to buy this house. Be careful, I will sue you for trespassing. Do you believe me?"

The man was also furious and retorted, "Who is trespassing now? I bought this house with real money."

"I don't care if you have real money or not, just move your stuff out." Brother Niu ordered directly. Seeing how tough Brother Niu was, the other party realized that something was wrong. He thought for a moment and said, "Wait for me." Then he went in and came back with a contract in his hand, "Take a look, this is the house purchase contract I signed, it's written clearly." "You are so childish, you want to cheat me with this piece of paper? I don't even need to see it to know that yours is fake. Wait, I'll show you what's real." Brother Niu turned around and took out the house purchase contract he signed from one of the bags and threw it on the table, "Look carefully."

Kang Qirui brought both contracts over, with official seals and signatures all complete. He said to Brother Niu, "Brother Niu, your two contracts are exactly the same. Look, this one says Room 1206, Building A."

Brother Niu then carefully compared the two contracts. He was also confused. "They are exactly the same. Which one is real and which one is fake? It's impossible. I spent 450,000 to buy it."

When the man heard what Brother Niu said, he said disdainfully, "Is it that great? I spent 480,000 yuan to buy it."

"3? You know that's because you don't know how to bargain?" Brother Niu said with a wry smile, then he was stunned. "That's not right. Why sell it for ? That was the price they offered me at first, but after I talked for a long time, they managed to get it yuan cheaper. What's going on?"

Combining the current information and details, Kang Qirui said with certainty: "I see, this must be a case of the same house being sold twice. It is probably because they saw that this gentleman was willing to pay 480,000 yuan, so they sold it again. Sir, let's go to the agency and take a look."

After hesitating for a moment, the man nodded and agreed to go to the agency together. After all, he also wanted to find out what the problem was.

After they arrived at the agency, the agent who sold the house to Brother Niu thought he had met a repeat customer and immediately came up to greet him, "Mr. Huang, Happy New Year. How did you know we were working on Spring Festival Eve? Are you satisfied with that house? Are you coming here with your friends to look at houses again this time?"

Brother Niu's face turned pale and he said unhappily, "Still looking for a house? You'd better figure out the matter of my house first." The agent didn't understand what was going on and looked at Brother Niu with confusion.

Kang Qirui explained on behalf of Brother Niu: "Here's what happened. We were planning to move today, but we ran into Mr. Li in the house." He pointed to another owner nearby and continued: "We originally thought he was trespassing, but it turns out he also had a purchase contract in his hand, and the agency that handled it was also yours, so we came here together to discuss an explanation."

Mr. Li said angrily, "There is only one house, but there are two contracts. How does your agency do things? Is Xiao Wang here? Call him out and tell us what's going on."

The agent was sweating as he listened. He had actually encountered such a thing. If he couldn't handle it well, he would have no chance of staying in this industry. He quickly shirked his responsibility and said, "Mr. Huang, Mr. Li, I really don't know about this. Mr. Li, the agent Wang you mentioned went back to his hometown for the New Year and didn't go to work. How about this, after the New Year, when Agent Wang comes back, we can sit down together and figure it out, okay?"

"No!" Brother Niu rejected it flatly. "How many days will it take to wait after the New Year? Where will I live these few days? You must give me an explanation today. You must tell me clearly whether this house is sold twice? If so, please return the 450,000 yuan to me without missing a cent."

“By the way, I don’t need this house, but the money must be returned to me.” Mr. Li also said so.

The agent could only evade, "Please be patient, I am also working for them. Agent Wang has gone back to his hometown for the New Year, and our boss is not here either, so I can't understand the specific situation. You should come back after the New Year."

"Don't you just want to avoid responsibility? You want to get rid of us without saying you're not here?" Da Laogong has been driving a truck for the past few years and has seen all kinds of people. He knows exactly what the agent is thinking.
