The next day
Just after the second period ended in the morning, Zhou Chen went to the playground and called Su Jiajia.
During the break between classes, he received a text message from Su Jiajia, telling him to reply as soon as he had time.
"Zhou Chen, I have some good news. Guess what it is?"
"If I'm not mistaken, the developer must have agreed to the amount of compensation I proposed for the demolition."
"..."
Hearing that Su Jiajia suddenly went silent, Zhou Chen smiled. He knew that Su Jiajia must be feeling frustrated at the moment, thinking that he wouldn't be able to guess because she was keeping him in suspense, but she didn't expect him to hit the nail on the head.
"How boring, you guessed it so quickly. Yes, the developer did compromise."
“Your method was very useful. After I mentioned the name of the real estate company, their general manager’s expression changed drastically, and he immediately softened. Fearing that I would run away, he decided to sign the contract on the spot and agreed to the amount of compensation I proposed for the demolition.”
Su Jiajia explained.
"Yes, thank you for your hard work!"
After Su Jiajia finished speaking, Zhou Chen said calmly, and then prepared to hang up the phone.
Aren't you excited?
Sensing Zhou Chen's calm and indifferent attitude, Su Jiajia was speechless. This was the compensation for the demolition of fifty bungalows! The developer had agreed to offer such a large sum of money, amounting to tens of millions, and Zhou Chen only replied with a few words after finding out.
You should be jumping for joy and shouting! Going from a millionaire to a multi-millionaire in an instant is something most people can't do in their entire lives. You're a high school student, and you're already worth tens of millions. At least get excited and show some respect!
Why are you so calm, like an old man?
You should know that when she heard the other party compromise, Su Jiajia was extremely excited. But Zhou Chen, the biggest beneficiary, was completely unfazed, making Su Jiajia seem like she had never seen anything like it before.
Zhou Chen, aren't you being far too mature for your age?
"Yeah, I'm so excited, Su! The bell rang, I have to go to class now, bye!"
Zhou Chen gave a perfunctory reply and hung up the phone.
Su Jiajia, on the other end of the phone, listened to the busy tone, especially Zhou Chen's excited words, which were clearly fake.
This greatly upset Su Jiajia.
"Don't think I don't know you're secretly overjoyed by pretending to be deep and serious."
Su Jiajia snorted, not believing that Zhou Chen was truly calm in the face of such a huge sum of money. It was tens of millions of yuan. Even her family would be moved by such a huge amount. Zhou Chen must be deliberately showing off and secretly laughing to himself.
She had already seen through Zhou Chen's feigned composure.
Little did Su Jiajia know that the real reason Zhou Chen was calm was that he already knew how much money she could make, so he wasn't shocked. Everything was going according to plan, so why would he be surprised?
Even if he was surprised, it was only for a moment. Compared to receiving a huge sum of money and having even experienced rebirth, there was really nothing that could shock him now.
An agreement was reached with the developer, and the compensation for the demolition was deposited into Zhou Chen's bank account on the same day.
Zhou Chen converted all this money into Tencent stock and continued to invest in the stock market, hoping to generate returns while also preparing for future business ventures.
Meanwhile, the remaining homeowners in the village also reached an agreement with the developer and received millions in compensation and houses. This news spread quickly, making more people aware of and envious of the overnight wealth brought by the demolition.
The villagers who sold their houses early were filled with regret, beating their chests and stamping their feet, having missed a great opportunity to become millionaires.
When this news reached Fanjia County, it sparked a lot of discussion.
Zhou Chen was surprised that even the teachers and students of a high school were talking about it. Li Kaile, who witnessed Zhou Chen's acquisition of fifty bungalows and his current net worth of tens of millions, was happy for Zhou Chen. However, when he heard his classmates discussing the mysterious person who bought fifty bungalows, he wanted to tell everyone that the person was Zhou Chen.
But Zhou Chen wouldn't let him say it, so Li Kaile could only feel frustrated and uncomfortable.
However, Li Kaile admired Zhou Chen even more, because if it were him, he would definitely go around showing off and making people envious.
"Brother Chen is Brother Chen. His mindset is different from ordinary people. Others would have been eager to show off long ago, but Brother Chen doesn't think that way. Even though he is worth millions, he is still very low-key. That's what a person who does great things is like."
Every time Li Kaile attended class with Zhou Chen, his admiration for Zhou Chen deepened.
At the same time, we firmly believe in following Zhou Chen's lead.
He also wanted to learn from Zhou Chen's strengths. Although he could never achieve as much as Zhou Chen, he would be content even if he only achieved one-tenth or one-hundredth of Zhou Chen's achievements.
Before meeting Zhou Chen, he had no plans or ideas for the future. It was Zhou Chen who set goals for him and gave him renewed motivation to work hard.
As news of people getting rich overnight through land expropriation spread far and wide, many people...
Zhou Chen called everyone together and went to a restaurant for a get-together.
Of course, most importantly,
Zhou Chen wanted to express his special thanks to Su Jiajia. Although he could have accomplished this task on his own even without her, Su Jiajia's involvement in his team had indeed saved him a lot of energy and time.
"Su, as the biggest contributor to this dialogue with the developer, this 50,000 yuan is a reward for you. I hope you won't think it's too little."
Before everyone ate, Zhou Chen took out a large stack of cash and pushed it in front of Su Jiajia.
When Su Jiajia saw Zhou Chen give her 50,000 yuan as a reward, she was really surprised. She didn't think she had done anything great, because the developer agreed because of Zhou Chen's method, which led to a quick compromise. She was just a messenger at most. But even so, Zhou Chen still gave her so much money. It would be a lie to say she wasn't moved.
"This... is too much!"
"I can't accept it."
Thinking of the 10,000 yuan monthly salary Zhou Chen had given her, Su Jiajia refused to accept it and pushed the money back.
"Jiajia, you should accept it. You deserve it."
Seeing this, Sun Wanying immediately stuffed the money into Su Jiajia's hand.
"But……"
“Su, this isn’t like you.”
Hearing Zhou Chen say this, Su Jiajia was stunned for a moment. She glanced at Zhou Chen and Sun Wanying, and thought that Zhou Chen had made nearly 50 million yuan by investing in bungalows. Compared with that, 50,000 yuan was indeed not much.
"Thank you, Mr. Zhou. I'll accept it."
Su Jiajia stopped refusing and this time accepted it readily, even unusually calling him "Boss Zhou."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Chen chuckled and said, "I've gone to great lengths to earn this title of 'boss'."
This immediately caused everyone present to burst into laughter.
Xu Dalong and Li Kaile sat to the side, their eyes filled with envy, but they were not jealous, because they knew that the work Su Jiajia did was something they couldn't do, and it was something Su Jiajia deserved.
at the same time,
When the news that Zhou Chen had received 50 million yuan in demolition compensation reached Zhao Kun and Zhou Ling, the two of them were filled with envy.
