Chapter 264 - 151: Pan Kejia Plays Dirty, Your Sister Shiqing Loves You Too Much

Chapter 264: Chapter 151: Pan Kejia Plays Dirty, Your Sister Shiqing Loves You Too Much

"I don’t love you!"

"You’re definitely going to spend the next few days with her, which means I’m only good enough for a morning call about import investments. I don’t love you one bit!"

And with that, contestant number two in the stubbornness contest had logged on. Pan Kejia’s resentful words came without a moment’s hesitation.

"I’ll take you out this weekend."

Chen Mo remembered she had wanted to go on a date last Saturday, so he said with a smile.

’That was the day of my blind date with Chen Shuwan. I’ll make it up to her this weekend.’

"Really?"

The surprise in Pan Kejia’s voice was obvious.

"Really."

"I love you so much! MWAH! MWAH!"

Pan Kejia immediately changed her tune, blowing kisses at him right through the phone.

Chen Mo chuckled, chatted with her for a while longer, and then hung up.

Pan Kejia had just told him that his male colleagues at the company were incredibly envious of him.

Not only had he won over Xia Shiqing, the prized flower of the financial circle, but he had also made her fall so deeply in love with him.

She couldn’t even stand to hear a single bad word said about him.

Every one of them wished they could be him.

In response to this, Chen Mo just smiled and shook his head.

’They all imagine they know what it’s like to be this happy, but my happiness was beyond their wildest imaginations.’

Chen Mo opened his chat with Xia Shiqing.

"I heard you got into a fight at the office?"

He sent her a WeChat message.

"Yeah. You found out?"

Xia Shiqing replied quickly.

"I used to work at that company, after all. Someone told me."

"She was bad-mouthing you. I couldn’t stand for it."

"You love me that much?"

"It’s only because you’re my boyfriend."

"You didn’t get hurt, did you?"

"She couldn’t land a hit. Some colleagues jumped in and held her back."

"How was it handled in the end?"

"I just got a lecture. It’s no big deal."

"Okay. I’ll pick you up after work."

"Okay. I’ll be waiting."

Chen Mo and Xia Shiqing continued their back-and-forth chat.

Chen Mo found it rather amusing that she’d gotten into a physical fight over a single bad remark, yet she was still being so stubborn about it.

But he didn’t call her out on it. As long as he knew how she truly felt, that was enough.

’Her mouth spouted denials, but every slap she had thrown was an admission.’

A classic case of her words saying no, but her body being brutally honest.

After ending his chat with her, Chen Mo felt as if he was seeing her in a whole new light.

She seemed so cool and detached, but that was only because no one had provoked her.

And the only one who could provoke her... was Chen Mo.

’Time for a trip to the tax bureau.’

After tidying up his home, Chen Mo took his bank cards and documents and headed to the tax bureau.

Old Chen had gifted him a property, and that required paying taxes.

Personal income tax, deed tax, and stamp duty.

For a property worth 15,000,000, he, as the recipient, had to pay a 20% personal income tax, which amounted to 3,000,000.

A 3% deed tax, which was 450,000.

The stamp duty was 0.05% for each party. He paid Old Chen’s share for him, making it a total of 0.1% in stamp duty, or 15,000.

In order to legally obtain this property, he had paid a total of 3,465,000 in taxes.

The only way to avoid this expense would be if the transfer was between immediate family, if he was assuming the role of the donor’s caretaker, or if he was inheriting the property.

He didn’t meet any of the criteria, so he had to honestly pay his taxes.

Some people, in order to evade taxes, would deliberately hire an agent to fabricate a sales contract with a low price.

A property worth 15 million would be "sold" for 100,000.

In the end, they would only have to pay 20,000 in taxes.

But that was treating the tax bureau like idiots. As if they didn’t know the real value of the property?

In the end, you’d still have to pay the full income tax based on the original value anyway.

Chen Mo wasn’t short on this kind of money. The stock market was netting him tens of millions in profit every day.

There was no need for him to engage in such tax evasion schemes.

After paying the taxes, Chen Mo handed the documents over to the agent.

Yesterday was just the preliminary review; the property transfer process could only begin today after the taxes were paid.

Once that was done, Chen Mo didn’t rush back home. Instead, he went to the National Gold International Financial Center.

Aunt Li had gone to great lengths to set him up on dates, which is how he got the chance to activate his constitution and receive that 50 million dowry.

Chen Mo definitely had to buy a valuable gift to thank her.

A valuable gift that women liked.

The only thing Chen Mo could think of was a handbag.

This time, Chen Mo didn’t go to the Chanel store; their bags leaned more toward affordable luxury.

For high luxury, it had to be Hermes.

He walked directly into the Hermes store.

"Welcome, sir. Do you have a preferred SA?"

As soon as he entered the store, a sales associate approached him with a smile.

In the world of luxury retail, SA simply stands for Sales Associate.

Unless it’s your first time, most customers have a regular associate they work with.

"No, I’d like to buy a few bags."

Chen Mo shook his head and stated his purpose directly.

’Yep, a few bags.’

Besides buying one for Aunt Li, he was also getting one for his girlfriend.

’My girlfriend tore into a female executive at her company for my sake. She absolutely deserves a new bag as a reward.’

"Do you have a particular bag in mind, sir? I can check if we have it in stock."

Seeing that this was Chen Mo’s first time, the sales associate immediately began asking questions.

"I’d like to see the Kelly collection."

Chen Mo had done some research before coming. The Hermes Kelly line was considered top-tier even within Hermes.

As a gift for Aunt Li, it should be more than presentable.

"Certainly. What color and size are you looking for?"

"The Kelly line comes in crocodile skin, gold-brown, elephant gray, milkshake white, and black. For sizes, we have the 25..."

At his words, the sales associate introduced the options with a polite smile.

The Kelly line was their store’s high-end collection, and the prices were steep.

A single bag cost well over a hundred thousand.

Although it was Chen Mo’s first time here, it was clear he was a major client with strong purchasing power.

’If I can help him successfully buy a bag today, I’ll get his contact info, and he’ll be my client from now on.’

"Do you have the crocodile skin in stock?"

Chen Mo had glanced at the crocodile skin model. Priced at 380,000, it was likely the best in the collection.

"Sir, we only have one left."
