Zhou Xiang looked at Accountant Wang, who pressed the calculator and nodded at her.

Zhou Xiang asked Accountant Wang to write a 70-year lease agreement, and make sure to clearly mark the boundaries and dimensions of the land.

Accountant Wang asked the director of the supply and marketing cooperative while writing, and he really wrote the boundaries of each side clearly.

After both parties checked and found no problems, Zhou Xiang made a request, "Let's go to the town judicial office together to get it notarized. This isn't a house, it's a multi-million dollar business. I'll feel at ease only if this agreement is notarized, right? Once it's notarized, we'll pay you right away."

The director of the supply and marketing cooperative agreed and called the accountant from the unit. A group of six people were taken to the town government by Zhou Xiang.

Although they all had doubts, they didn't say anything and just followed Zhou Xiang.

Zhou wanted to find the mayor's office.

The mayor hadn't dared to go out these past few days, waiting for the Zhou family to completely buy out the river. He was worried that he would be needed to intervene.

Who knew that it had been a few days and Xiao Ling hadn't come. However, it was the same when he saw Zhou Xiang. Xiao Ling was running errands for Zhou's girlfriend.

"Zhou Xiang." The mayor smiled.

Zhou Xiang nodded. "Hello, Mayor! I've already negotiated with the food station and the supply and marketing cooperative. All that's left is the 220 meters of river that belongs to the town. Mayor, please call the accountant over, and we'll write the lease agreement and go to the judicial office to have it notarized."

The mayor really didn't expect that he could give money to the town. He felt a little embarrassed. "Zhou Xiang, although the river is inside the food station, if it develops in the future, you have made a great contribution to the town. Our town should give you strong support."

This mayor is really honest and seems to be someone who truly works for the town.

"Mayor, let's be honest. Whether I can contribute to the town is a matter for the future. If there's a reward, you can give it to me directly. These 220 meters of river are public property, and you can't let me bear a bad reputation."

After hearing this, the mayor felt relieved. Zhou thought that this Zhou family was indeed a genius who had supported the Zhou family! These words made people feel satisfied.

"Okay! Then I'll do as you say. I'll go get the accountant."

The mayor personally went to call the accountant because he was afraid that Zhou would not be able to hold back his joy and would laugh. The town's performance was not good either. Now, no matter how much money Zhou wanted to give, it would be considered as income generated during his tenure.

When the town accountant heard that there was money to be made, he ran away so fast that he even left the mayor behind.

I rushed into the mayor's office and was a little disappointed to see the two leaders and the accountant from the food station and the supply and marketing cooperative. Could it be that these two units came to the town to ask for money?

The mayor hurried back to his office. Seeing the disappointment on the town accountant's face, he felt a little relieved. "Telling you to run faster? Did it work?"

"Zhou Xiang, this is the town accountant, Li Weifang. Accountant Li, this girl is Zhou Xiang. She's here to collect the contract fees for the 220-meter river channel between Houwang Village and the back wall of the food station."

When the slightly plump female accountant in her forties heard the mayor's words, a smile immediately filled her chubby face. She raised her hands and held Zhou Xiang's hands.

"Oh! You are Zhou Xiang! I've heard of your great name for a long time!"

From the moment the woman came in, Zhou Xiang saw the expressions on her face change from happy to disappointed to excited. None of those expressions were as rich and sincere as hers.

Zhou Xiang was not disgusted by her enthusiasm. She was consistent in her words and deeds and never made people feel disgusted.

"Hello, Accountant Li!"

"Hello! Hello!" Accountant Li let go of Zhou Xiang's hand. "The mayor asked me to come get the money."

Zhou Xiang burst out laughing. He just praised her for being consistent, but it seemed that was not enough. This person was too straightforward and could sell out the mayor at any time.

The mayor's face was filled with embarrassment, while everyone else laughed.

Zhou thought, "Yes, I will give you money, but you have to write an agreement."

After saying that, he waved to Accountant Wang, who immediately took out the agreement from the supply and marketing cooperative and showed it to Accountant Li.

Zhou thought, "Accountant Li, please write the agreement according to this format and price for the 70-year lease of the 220-meter-long and 15-meter-wide river channel."

Accountant Li quickly glanced over the land and looked up in surprise. "Isn't 210 yuan per mu per year too high? After all, a riverbed can't compare to real land."

The mayor was also surprised when he heard the price. "Zhou Xiang, what you did is not just for your own personal profit. The price should be reduced. As the mayor, I am really ashamed to ask you to pay so much money personally."

With these words, Zhou Xiang felt that everything was worth it. "Mayor, don't worry too much. I am proud that I can do more for the town. I can't let the employees of the food station and supply and marketing cooperative lose their land and houses that they have owned for decades, and their wages for the next few years, just for personal gain.

They can say they've already sold their property. Under these circumstances, I can't bargain down the price. A 40% discount on the land is the lowest price I can conscientiously offer."

When the mayor heard this, his eyes became sore. No matter whether the words were sincere or not, he felt ashamed. He had not contributed much to the town. In the future, he would have to work hard to build the town. With Zhou Xiang taking the lead, the construction of the town would surely be able to proceed.

Accountant Li shook Zhou Xiang's hand again and said, "Yes, yes, you are right. On behalf of all the residents of Xu Town, I thank you."

Zhou Xiang laughed out loud. Accountant Li had stolen the mayor's words.

After expressing her gratitude, Accountant Li sat down directly across from the mayor's desk, took the A4 paper handed to her by Accountant Wang, and wrote down the agreement according to the instructions.

I heard that we had to go to the notarization office and the mayor was also there. With the mayor accompanying us, the application was skipped. The review of this matter was also skipped because it was a river and three units were accompanying us.

The certificate was also issued quickly. The mayor found the director of the judicial office and after special approval, the notarized document was obtained quickly.

Zhou wanted to get three shares, with each of the three units getting its own share.

In front of the notary, Zhou Xiang handed over the RMB from the supply and marketing cooperative to the accountant of the supply and marketing cooperative, and gave the RMB from the town to Accountant Li.

The two accountants' hands were shaking as they held the money. Not only had they never received so much money before, but this amount of money could do so much for the company and solve so many of their problems.

He put away the notarized documents and handed the three agreements to Accountant Wang for his accounting purposes.

Zhou Xiang looked at the director of the supply and marketing cooperative with a smile, "Uncle, I will build a six- or eight-story building next to the storehouse. You can ask the mayor if we need to move back if we demolish the old building and rebuild it."

The director was stunned. What did Zhou want to mean?

Accountant Li read the agreement and immediately understood. Without waiting for the mayor to speak, she spoke up, "Of course. The Planning Office received the document a long time ago. Not only does it say this north-south street, but even the east-west street at the north end, if new houses are built, they have to be set back to allow for future road widening."

The mayor was still confused, so Accountant Li whispered a few words in his ear. The mayor remained expressionless. The store belonged to the supply and marketing cooperative, so he had no right to say anything. However, judging from Zhou's expression, he thought there was a way to deal with the director of the supply and marketing cooperative.
