Ye Yun walked over and gently patted Qin Zheng's back with a sorrowful expression.

"There's nothing we can do about it... Please accept my condolences."

"No need for that." Qin Zheng turned his head, took her hand, and looked at her with a smile in his eyes.

Ye Yun couldn't help but wonder.

Qin Zheng said, "They gave us a lot of money."

"...?"

"The amount is substantial, enough for us to directly expand into Beijing."

"..."

Ye Yun was dumbfounded.

She waved her hand in front of Qin Zheng. "No, are you very happy?"

Qin Zheng noticed her confusion, his eyebrows curved slightly, and he smiled, "Anyway, it's all the same to sell it to someone else. The fact that this land can be acquired proves that our initial choice was correct. In fact, the amount they offered far exceeded our expected profit, and it also saved us a lot of procedures. We've been busy with this for the past two days, and we just signed the contract this morning."

"I originally wanted to go back and tell you the good news, but I didn't expect you to come first."

Seeing her stunned expression, Qin Zheng gently flicked the tip of her nose, chuckled, and asked in a low voice, "Are you dumbfounded?"

Ye Yun opened her mouth with difficulty.

It seems like an overwhelming windfall has fallen on her head; an entire neighborhood has been expropriated and compensated. What's the difference between this and getting rich overnight from land expropriation?

"So Gu Jin is unwilling?"

"No." Qin Zheng felt puzzled and shrugged. "He's overjoyed. He made a fortune in this neighborhood and he's holding his head high in front of his dad."

"He was so angry just now?"

"Oh, you mean just now..." Qin Zheng paused for two seconds, a slight smile playing on his lips, and leaned close to her ear, whispering mysteriously, "I'm telling you, but don't tell anyone, it was Cai Manni who caused this. That Cai girl said Tang Shu has a foreign boyfriend abroad..."

Ye Yun: !!!

What earth-shattering news!
