Ask God to go
The uncle laughed at her, "If you want to say that our family has connections, it's better to say that the God of Wealth lives in our house."
Then he analyzed one, two, three reasons for her, saying that no matter how the higher-ups planned it, the new railway station could not be built in the South City District. The suburban land in Xicheng District has only been released for two or three years. It is impossible to demolish that area now. Therefore, there is still great hope for the East City District and the North City District of the city.
"Don't think too much. We are the provincial capital, and development is inevitable. Just look at the construction in Shenzhen, which changes every day." He and many old friends believe that it is profitable to enter the real estate market now and buy land, regardless of whether to develop it now or keep it and develop it in two years.
"Oh." Chen Jin was a little disappointed. She really thought that her uncle had some connections. She really wanted to find out as soon as possible whether Qiaoxi Village would be demolished. She really didn't want to hear the demolition news in Qiaoxi Village every other day. Another thing is that she went to Qiaoxi Village today, and she is very sure that there will be a lot of bustle when Qiaoxi Village is demolished.
"This apple is a good buy." The uncle took two bites and saw Chen Jin took out the remote control, so he said, "Then let's go to Xichan Temple on the fourth day of the New Year to welcome the God of Wealth."
Chen Jin exclaimed, "Is there any need to go?"
The uncle said "Hey" and patted her head. "If you have problems, you should pray to God. If you have nothing to do, you should just wander around. You should maintain your relationships on a regular basis..."
"Okay, okay. Go! Go, go!" Chen Jin stood up and ran to help his aunt-in-law wash the fruits, and chatted with her about whether the clothing store had any new styles recently.
"The clothing store I used to go to is closed. The factory that produced it has closed down. Buying clothes has become a problem now." It was rare to find a clothing store that met her liking in every aspect, but it closed down within two years.
My aunt had visited the clothing store that Chen Jin mentioned before, and she probably knew something about it. "Their factory was in decline due to internal disintegration. Baiyou Garment Factory is an old brand in Rong City. It is a pity that it collapsed. However,"
My aunt sneered and said, "Some people are just too weak to stand up straight. They keep making trouble and suppress the domestic brands that are about to stand up. They just want to sell them cheaply to foreigners. They say that domestic clothing brands can't compete with foreign ones. What a bunch of weaklings and parasites!"
It's rare to see my gentle and kind aunt speak so sharply. It shows that the group of prodigals behind Baiyou Garment Factory have gone too far and their colleagues can't stand it anymore.
"Has Baiyou been sold to foreigners now?" Chen Jin felt very sorry. Last time, he went to Baiyou Garment Factory on a whim and met the factory director Geng. He really hoped that she could find another way for Baiyou. But...sigh.
"It's not that easy. We haven't reached an agreement on the placement of laid-off employees. I heard that the current director of their factory doesn't agree to sell the brand." My aunt shook her head. "There are people with conscience, but I'm afraid they won't be able to stick to it. If this brand is sold, Baiyou will make money from foreigners under the name of an old brand."
What a pity. Chen Jin sighed in his heart.
On the third day of the New Year, Chen Jin and his eldest uncle and third uncle's families went to the village chief's house for dinner. My second uncle and his family didn’t come today. They are still at Chen Jia’s grandmother’s house.
When we came to the village chief's house, the village chief, Chen Wenzhen, my uncle and my second cousin were mainly talking about the land vacated after the relocation of factories in the suburbs of Nancheng District. My third cousin was somewhat interested and went over to listen. Chen Jin listened for a while and they were still discussing the issue of raising money when the time came.
The village chief's intention is quite clear. He wants the villagers to pool their money together, build a piece of land, and make money together. Those who invest more will get more, and those who invest less will get less.
I have to say that the village chief does have a bad temper, but in essence he is the same as my uncle, both of them shouldering the role of "head of the family". The eldest uncle wants to support his brothers and sisters, and the village chief wants to support the people of the Chen family in Qiaodong Village. In fact, they are both similar and are very worried.
Chen Jin felt that she might never have as high a level of awareness as the two of them in her lifetime. She would persuade others if she could, but if she couldn't persuade them, she would not bother to care about their life or death. Does she have to work hard to help? She turned around and ran away!
Some people just remember bad things but not good things. If they do business together and make money, it's fine, but if they lose money, all human nature will be exposed. Not to mention that the village chief is the clan leader, even those people's parents would complain.
So, she felt that the partnership business in the village was not so optimistic.
But my uncle and the village chief were chatting quite enthusiastically. Maybe they have other plans to hold the person down. I have to say that people in southern province are really not independent in doing business, and it is common for them to do business in groups. Of course, only “insiders” stick together.
Like Chen Wenzhen and Chen Wensong, when they went to the suburbs of Xicheng District to buy land, didn’t they also ask their uncle for information? They were both newcomers to real estate, and their uncle helped them a lot.
The village chief called several of their families over separately and discussed the matter with my uncle. He simply wanted my uncle to follow and act as a leader.
After listening for a while, Chen Jin roughly understood what had happened, so he went to sit in the living room.
Chen Yongan was peeling an orange out of boredom, slowly tearing off the white orange peel bit by bit. "It's boring. I want to go out and play. Third sister, let's go for a drive. I'll treat you to something delicious."
He and Chen Jia are now the ones who receive the most red envelopes in the family. Junjun is young, unlike the two of them who are college students, so the elders always give them one red envelope and then ask for an extra one. Even his working brothers and sisters gave him red envelopes, and he saved a lot of pocket money in the past two years.
"Today the wind blows from the north, so I won't go and blow it."
Chen Jin wanted him to peel an orange for her, but seeing him turning the orange around in his hands, she decided it would be better for her to do it herself. "You can go hang out with your classmates and friends. Your high school classmates are also on vacation. It's a good opportunity to have a meal with everyone and learn about what's going on in other people's schools. How great."
"I went there yesterday, it was boring." Chen Yongan curled his lips, "My high school classmates now know that my family is being relocated, and they all want me to treat them to a big dinner. My family has the money for the relocation, but I am not rich, so how can I afford to treat them to a big dinner."
Besides, he is not a fool or a sucker, so why should he treat us?
"Yao Rui is also very busy, attending tutoring classes every day. Third sister, he said that the tutoring institution he is in is run by your friend. Is that true? Do they still need to recruit people? I can do hard labor, but I can forget about teaching. It would be bad if I teach students and prevent them from getting into college."
"You really think too much. Who would dare to let you teach other people's students?" Chen Jin said: "If you are interested, you can ask your classmates if they are hiring part-timers. Anyway, I won't ask." It's just a small matter, you can deal with it yourself.
"If you're bored, you can go to your family's store and look after it. Ask your parents to give you a winter vacation salary."
Chen Yongan glanced at her resentfully and whispered, "I don't need to rush to ask for a fight."
If he dared to mention working in his own store during the winter vacation, his mother would beat him with a feather duster.
Chen Jin was too lazy to say anything about him. Look at Chen Yongming, he is now following the village chief to learn how to do things, his demeanor is different now, he can even represent his family to talk to adults about things. Chen Yue, who is about the same age, follows her aunt to learn how to do business, while Chen Yonghan goes to a martial arts school every day and is determined to enter the police academy in the future...
Look at him again, he just wants to play games when he gets home. Alas, there is no comparison, so that's it.
"Well, since you're bored anyway, you can help me ask around in the Rose Garden community to see if anyone has a newborn kitten. I want to raise one. It'd be best if it's orange or white, and preferably docile." One family can't accommodate two hot-tempered ones.
Chen Yongan's eyes lit up, he sat up straight, and said in surprise: "You want to raise a kitten?! Okay, don't worry, I'm very familiar with the old ladies and grandfathers in the community. When the weather is better in a few days, I'll go and ask them when they come downstairs to chat. Orange or white, right? I think the gray one looks good too. How about you raise another one, third sister? I'll leave mine with you for the time being, and I'll take care of it when I'm on vacation..."
"Just raise one, don't even think about raising more. If you want to raise more, when you live on your own in the future, you can raise as many as you want."
Chen Yongan was a little disappointed, but not much. He was ready to find the old men and women in the community to find out if anyone had a kitten to give away or sell.
Seeing that no one noticed the two of them sitting on the sofa in the living room, Chen Jin whispered, "Why isn't Zhang Meixian here? Are she and Chen Wenzhen really divorced?"
Chen Yongan also imitated her, half covering his mouth, and replied in a whisper: "They haven't divorced yet. She cries every day and runs to her parents' house after a quarrel, waiting for Chen Wenzhen to admit his mistake and come to pick her up. Now that Chen Yongming won't go to pick her up, I guess her parents must be panicking."
"What about cousin Zhang Meixian and Chen Wenzhen?"
"They are still arguing. Chen Wenzhen wants to get away. Now Zhang Meixian's cousin's family has come to her and wants an explanation. They are not after money, but they want Chen Wenzhen to divorce her and marry her."
Chen Yongan quickly glanced at the restaurant and saw that they were chatting enthusiastically. He continued, "The village chief said that he doesn't care anymore. Just don't bring the matter to his face. The village chief also made a will, saying that the money he has will be divided in half between Chen Yongming and Chen Yonghan. He also clearly stated that if Chen Wenzhen dared to divorce, he would go back to his hometown and sue his ancestors to cross his name off the family tree."
As for a will, once it is made, it can be changed at any time. Having said that now, there may not be room for recovery.
"So, Chen Wenzhen is now cowering and doesn't dare to get a divorce?" Chen Jin rolled his eyes. This guy is really despicable. The village chief had previously stopped him from getting a divorce, but he insisted on getting one. Now the village chief agrees to let him divorce, but he doesn’t want to.
Since divorce affects his interests, he will become unsteady. To put it bluntly, he doesn't feel the pain unless the knife cuts his body.
"Yes, if he doesn't divorce, won't Zhang Meixian's cousin's family be worried? They even said they would sue him for hooliganism." Chen Yongan shook his head, "But they said that suing him for hooliganism is not effective now."
“It’s a mess.”
Chen Jin glanced at the man who was talking at the table over there. If you weren't familiar with him, you really wouldn't be able to tell what kind of bad character he has in private.
—
On the afternoon of the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, Chen Jin drove out to pick up his uncle, and the royal blue car that had just driven out of the community... Shen Baichuan returned from the New Year in Hong Kong?
They only spoke on the phone on New Year's Eve. After that, Chen Jin had plans every day and completely forgot about what he said about "coming back after the New Year to have dinner together."
Besides, she has plans for the next two days.
She is super busy!
After picking up my uncle at the Rose Garden, we headed straight to Xichan Temple. With the previous experience, Chen Jin no longer needs her uncle to remind her of this or that. When they arrive at the main hall, her uncle goes to pay his respects, and she also goes to pay her respects. She also bought two incense sticks.
"Bought one extra copy? You have a lot of requests." My uncle joked.
"I asked for it on behalf of others." Chen Jin kept muttering to himself: Baiyou Garment Factory must not be sold to foreigners. Come on, Director Geng, make Baiyou Garment Factory bigger and stronger!
My uncle lit the incense, looked back and was delighted. This guy was very pious when he prayed for others, but he just bowed a few times and inserted his own prayers perfunctorily.
"What are you asking for? Tell me and I'll see if there's any hope."
Chen Jin closed his mouth tightly. "It won't work if I tell you, right? I won't tell you. If it really works, I'll come back and donate 8,888 to the temple."
As she said this, she laughed to herself. Who was it that vowed before not to believe in feudal superstitions? She turned around and came to burn incense and worship Buddha.
Oh, forget it. She is just a vulgar person. People laugh and joke in this mundane world, and come here occasionally to seek psychological comfort.
The flesh on the uncle's belly trembled with laughter. Chen Jin sighed and said, "When you have time, you should go to the forest park to climb mountains more often, drink more tea and less alcohol."
"I've only been drinking it for the past two or three years." My uncle patted his belly, feeling helpless. Who knew that he would get fat so easily as he got older?
Chen Jin didn't expect to be able to convince him. Even his aunt couldn't do anything about it, so the younger generation couldn't persuade him at all.
After leaving Xichan Temple, Chen Jin drove his uncle to the company, and then met Lin Xiaoman here. Unlike the previous time they met, Lin Xiaoman had a cold attitude this time. She greeted her uncle in a businesslike manner and simply ignored Chen Jin.
We are not acquaintances, let alone friends, so this attitude is normal. Chen Jin didn't take Lin Xiaoman's coldness to heart at all.
As for meeting Lawyer Mo here again, Chen Jin was not curious. After saying hello, Chen Jin went to the reception area at the front desk. Her uncle asked her to wait for him after get off work and give him a ride home.
She, a big idler, was requisitioned as a driver today.
She came here so often that she became familiar with most of the people in the company. They all knew that she was a relative of the company's boss and were not curious when they saw her.
After Lawyer Mo finished discussing the matter, he came over and sat opposite her. He generously recommended Nie Rong to her, praising him for his expertise in handling personal financial disputes and told her that she could consult him about relevant laws and regulations the next time she makes an investment.
"Okay." Chen Jin agreed. To be honest, she would prefer to consult Nie Rong about contract issues in the future, but she hasn't worked with Lawyer Mo for a long time, and she feels a little embarrassed to suddenly change people. And they are from the same law firm.
Lawyer Mo smiled and said, "Professionals should handle professional matters. Both are clients of our law firm. We will definitely provide the best consulting services to Ms. Chen."
Chen Jin couldn't help but sigh that Bisheng Law Firm was becoming more and more professional, and it might become the best law firm in Rong City in the future.
"Then I'll take your good words." Who doesn't like to hear good words? Chen Jin is really a high-quality big customer who is both worry-free and easy to talk to.
In the afternoon, Chen Jin not only waited for his uncle to get off work at the company, but was also "assigned" to drive to deliver documents to the partner. When I went to the partner company to deliver documents, I saw Shen Baichuan. He looked like he was here to discuss cooperation. The glass wall was quite soundproof, and I couldn't hear a word from outside.
But it looked like there was a quarrel inside.
After hearing the shocking news that Shen Baichuan scratched his car to claim compensation for the new car, Chen Jin once again refreshed his understanding of Shen Baichuan:
Shen Baichuan in the meeting room in front looked like he was arguing with someone. His sleeves were rolled up to his elbows, his hands were on his belt, and he was talking a lot, making the person opposite him turn red in the face and neck, looking very angry.
Tsk tsk tsk!
"Ms. Chen, just give me the documents. Is there anything else?"
Chen Jin waved his hand and said, "It's okay. It's a bit far to drive here. I'll take my time. I'll leave soon."
She had just finished speaking and wanted to continue reading when she suddenly met the gaze of Shen Baichuan in the conference room. She was stunned, and Shen Baichuan was even more stunned.
Shen Baichuan quickly put his hands down, straightened his sleeves, looked up again, and saw Chen Jin smiling so hard that his eyes narrowed. He waved at him and left.
"Boss Shen?"
Shen Baichuan took a deep breath, and his attitude changed 180 degrees, "It's normal to have disagreements, sit down and talk it out. Everyone sit down."
