Mr. Jan negotiated a purchase with a restaurant. Mr. Jan drafted a purchase agreement, presented it to Mr. In, who stated the agreement was not yet satisfactory and required amendment. Mr. In subsequently hosted Mr. In for meals and purchased various items for him. Two to three days later, Mr. In had Mr. In sign the agreement.
