While organizing the tenant information of Baiyuan, Section Chief Zhao was also having an internal struggle.
He touched his cigarette, pondering. He had been cautious and careful for half his life, not wanting to cause trouble. But this way, while he was secure, he would hardly be able to move his position even once in ten years.
But what if the Bai family does well in Kyoto? Could he hitch a ride on their coattails?
This needs to be carefully considered...
He took the documents and handed them to Bai Yajing.
Section Chief Zhao glanced around mysteriously, then lowered his voice: "I have an idea for you. I've heard of that Liu family son; he's a gambler in his spare time and has racked up a huge debt with shady gambling dens. You could start with that..."
If the Bai family truly has great abilities, then the information they gave us today can be used to gain favors in the future; if they don't, then it doesn't matter...
He just accidentally chatted a bit too much! It's no secret that Liu Weibing owes a lot of money!
"I see..." Bai Yajing said thoughtfully.
The Liu family's refusal to move is probably not only because they have lived there for many years and have developed an emotional attachment to the place, but also because Liu Weibing is heavily in debt and has nowhere to go.
Over the next two days, Bai Yajing began to wander around the vicinity of Baiyuan, chatting with the elderly people in the alleys.
Taking advantage of her unfamiliarity with the place, she claimed to be a teacher from Kyoto researching local culture. She said that the Baiyuan compound was of great research value, so she used Baiyuan as a starting point and quickly learned a lot about the Liu family.
"That old woman from the Liu family is really something. Nobody on the whole street dares to mess with her." An old woman fanning herself with a palm leaf fan showed a look of disdain on her face, clearly looking down on that scoundrel Liu.
"A couple of years ago, someone moving things in Baiyuan accidentally broke her window, and she insisted they pay her sixty yuan in compensation!"
"Wow, that's pretty impressive. A piece of glass is worth at most a few dollars..."
Did other companies really lose that much money too?
"Is it because...hehehe, I heard her son works at the neighborhood office?" Bai Yajing asked casually.
The old woman scoffed, "Hmph, so what if he has a job? He's asleep at work all day and plays mahjong at night in brothels. I heard he owes a lot of money the other day and was even being chased and beaten! They said they'd chop off his hand if he couldn't pay it back!"
Bai Yajing's eyes lit up: "Really? Then why didn't they sell the house to pay off the debt?"
"Oh dear, that courtyard doesn't belong to them." The old lady lowered her voice. "You out-of-towners don't know, but in the old days, Bai Garden belonged to Boss Bai's family. He generously donated it back then."
Now that the policy has changed, it should be returned to them in principle.
But Granny Liu said that unless they stepped over her corpse, no one would be allowed to move it!
Bai Yajing cursed that family of shameless scoundrels in her heart!
However, now that she knows their weakness, she has a way to make them move out obediently.
Grandpa Bai wasn't idle either; he took the twins to visit many old friends and learn from their experiences.
"Brother Bai, there's no other way. These days, we're lucky to have survived this long!"
If you want to reclaim your property and assets, you've got a long way to go!
When Grandpa Sun mentioned this incident, his face showed lingering fear.
Old Master Bai's heart sank; it seemed this was indeed a very troublesome situation.
"Brother Sun, I just got back. I was met with a cold shoulder as soon as I went there. I was thinking of coming here to learn from your experience. I heard that you've almost finished harvesting everything!"
No hiding anything from others!
Grandpa Sun was so angry that he raised his hand and pointed at him, "You, you, I knew it! The sun must have risen in the west today! The first thing you did when you got back was to come and see this old man! Humph!"
He turned his head away haughtily, not wanting to look at him.
Didn't Old Master Bai know him? Resignedly, he took a fine jade pendant from his pocket and stuffed it into his hand.
"You wretched thing, it's been so many years, you still haven't changed your tricks!"
I always trick him into giving me good stuff like this.
Grandpa Sun secretly lowered his head and glanced at the jade pendant in his hand, its color as green as hair oil, and his eyes crinkled with laughter.
