He himself is the embodiment of truth!

Li Junyang is very tough.

In his view, they were just a bunch of troublemakers who needed to rely on his family's influence. He believed that all the claims were made by him and that his words were the ultimate authority. Now they dared to cause trouble, and they didn't know their place.

Believe it or not, if I say one thing, they won't even be able to get half the size of the house.

Getting even half of them would be good enough, why bother picking randomly...

"Who are you!"

One member of the group of residents from the urban village who were demanding an explanation couldn't stand Li Junyang's arrogance and shouted a question.

"Shh...shut up! Don't you recognize him? When we came to inspect the urban village, the people from Qingshan Real Estate were all swarming around him. I've already inquired, and he's the eldest son of Qingshan Real Estate, the young master of the Li family!"

Fortunately, there were enough people here, and a few of them had seen Li Junyang before. They quickly grabbed the one who was shouting. When the other person heard about Li Junyang's background, he immediately shrank back, and his previous anger subsided somewhat.

So it was the young master...

No wonder they dared to stand up at a time like this.

Even if Li Junyang is of noble status, it's not right for him to reduce the size of their house by half for no reason.

"Young Master Li, when your people came to inspect the property, they clearly stated that if we chose a house, they would replace it with another one at the original price. How come the area is half the original?"

The team demanding an explanation softened their tone slightly and became less aggressive.

After all, Li Junyang in front of him looked like someone who could get things done.

In the demolition of urban villages, this person's words will definitely carry weight!

Old Liu stood pitifully to the side, his eyes fixed on Li Junyang, looking as if he wouldn't let him off the hook if he didn't get an explanation today.

Jiang Yu stood in the crowd, her eyebrows suddenly furrowing.

That annoying guy actually came.

For a moment, Jiang Yu felt a pang of regret. She realized she shouldn't have come alone; if only Xia Che had been there...

"Listen carefully, I did say I would replace your house with another one at the original price, but you also need to understand what kind of location I'm replacing it with. If I demolish your house, the money your house is worth can only buy you half the original size of the new house. What's the problem with that?"

Li Junyang stood on high ground, a cold smile playing on his lips, looking down at the group of troublemakers, a flash of cold light passing through his eyes.

Word games?

That's right.

He was indeed playing word games with this group of uncultured, unruly people.

This reasoning seems reasonable at first glance, but in reality, demolition compensation is not calculated in this way, and equivalent replacement is not as simple as Li Junyang said.

but……

Why is it that the houses Li Junyang gave them were also owned by Qingshan Real Estate?

The price was entirely up to Li Junyang. He said that the houses he exchanged with the residents of the urban village were worth their compensation money, so they were worth it!

What's the big deal if the area shrinks by half?

Li Junyang even felt that he was too kind-hearted. If he were any more ruthless, he probably wouldn't have given them even half. After all, they all lived in urban villages and had no power or influence. What could they use to fight against Qingshan Real Estate?

There's no such thing as a free lunch. The funds that Qingshan Real Estate used to acquire this piece of land in the old city were obtained through sponsorships secured by the Yan Yun Gang.

If more of this sponsorship goes to the residents of the urban village, then Qingshan Real Estate will earn less.

Want to earn more...

All we can do is exploit these poor residents.

"This...this isn't right, is it?"

Li Junyang's wordplay is quite deceptive; how could these people possibly understand the Li family's twisted logic? They just find it sounds very reasonable.

The location of the urban village was never good to begin with. This area was usually neglected and unpopular. Even if it is to be demolished and developed now, who can guarantee that it will appreciate in value after development?

However, if you choose to accept the conditions offered by Qingshan Real Estate, although the area will be reduced, with Qingshan Real Estate involved, their houses will definitely be more expensive than those in urban villages.

The people present gradually came to their senses from their righteous indignation and began to waver.

—Yeah, what's the use of having a big house? It's worthless! The compensation from Qingshan Real Estate may have been smaller, but it's worth much more than their own house. So it seems like they didn't lose out at all?

"What's wrong?"

Li Junyang pressed his advantage, sneering, "I can show you the contract from Qingshan Real Estate right now. You can compare every clause with mine. If there's any difference, you can sue me in court right now!"

"This is clearly a win-win situation for everyone, so why do you always have to worry about unnecessary gains and losses? If it weren't for my Qingshan Real Estate, would you have been able to sell these houses in your urban village?"

"Even if we assume you can sell it, can you get the same high price as us? Can the money you get from selling it buy you a replacement house that I subsidized for you?"

Li Junyang's arguments became increasingly reasonable, and he straightened his back.

The audience fell completely silent. Even Old Liu, who was so angry at the beginning that he could barely walk, began to waver and started to think that Li Junyang was right and that he himself was greedy.

And this is exactly the effect Li Junyang wanted.

No one in this world is more shameless than Li Junyang.

He was the one who exploited the interests of the urban village residents, using the money as fodder to feed the Li family, yet now he acts as if he has suffered some great persecution.

As the room fell silent, Li Junyang felt that was enough. He straightened his collar and said calmly, "Alright, I don't need to argue with you about who's right or wrong. If you have any objections to the contract, you can go to my secretary privately, and we can talk about it slowly."

"Let's continue now."

Li Junyang's gaze swept across the crowd, then suddenly fixed on Jiang Yu at the back of the line. He would never forget those stunningly beautiful eyes.

"They've come after all..."

Li Junyang smiled mysteriously. He had sent a message to Jiang Yu last night, but she hadn't replied all night. Li Junyang was also holding back his anger. Now that he had met the person in question, Li Junyang felt that his chance to get Jiang Yu under his thumb had come.

"Hey, Xiao Wang, keep a close eye on the girl named Jiang Yu later. She's disabled and in a wheelchair. Try to make things difficult for her, and then..."

Li Junyang beckoned over and called his secretary over. He then leaned close to the secretary's ear and gave her detailed instructions.

"Yes, Young Master Li!"

The secretary nodded repeatedly, knowing his young master's temperament well. After Li Junyang finished giving his instructions, he secretly asked with a wicked smile, "Does the young master want a change of pace?"

"Shut up, do your job, and don't ask questions you shouldn't ask."

Li Junyang kicked him in annoyance.
