"Leniency to those who confess, severity to those who resist!"

"Tell the truth!"

Chen Jin looked at the time on her watch and said, "Hurry up and eat. I have to go home for a nap later." After Teacher Shen left, she would have to go back to the college office building to drive. It was so hot that taking even one step outside was torture.

"Then we'll go home with you and take a nap." Lin Xinran helped make the decision, and then urged: "You two should eat quickly, and we can talk while we walk."

"No way..."

"Okay, we'll also come to the college for a meeting this afternoon, and we'll come with your car then."

Chen Jin thought about it and said, "Then I'll ask later."

What else do you want to ask? She takes her own car and goes back to her own home. Who else does she need to ask?

Yang Qian was just feeling something was wrong when Lin Xinran interrupted her and she also quickened her eating pace. It was not until she was about to put the plate away that Yang Qian realized that she was eating faster and faster.

Lin Xinran and the other two thought they had to follow Chen Jin to the college office building to drive the car, but unexpectedly, Chen Jin went straight to a white car outside the third cafeteria, said a few words to the person in the driver's seat, and then waved at them.

Chen Jin sat in the co-pilot seat, while Yang Qian and the other three sat in the back, each sitting straighter than the other, always secretly glancing at the two people in front, and then the three of them winked at each other and smiled secretly.

"Teacher Shen, please call me when you go to work this afternoon." Chen Jin has been riding in Shen Baichuan's car to and from get off work at noon for a week in a row, experiencing the addiction of luxury cars every day without repetition. She has made up her mind that next time she sees her third cousin, she will tell him about these luxury cars until he's jealous and cries!

As soon as Chen Jin came back, he quickly turned on the air conditioner, then ran upstairs to change clothes. "If you want to sleep in the guest room, go ahead. The sheets are all freshly washed. No one has been here recently."

"Hey, don't run away before you tell me!" Lin Xinran chased after him. After Chen Jin changed his clothes and came out, she asked directly, "How far have you and Mr. Shen next door gone? Are you in contact and planning to date?"

Judging from the current situation, it seems that they have not been discussed yet. If they have really been discussed, Chen Jin would definitely say it directly. Chen Jin is not the kind of person who would hide things and dare not let others know.

"What are you thinking about?" Chen Jin looked at them like fools.

"Really? I think there's something wrong with the way Mr. Shen looks at you. Yang Qian, don't you think so? Your Mr. Zhuo also looks at you that way."

"......I'm not sure about this. I don't know what Zhuo Jiyu thinks of me. I am slightly nearsighted." Yang Qian added: "But from what I learned from Zhuo Jiyu, Shen Baichuan doesn't seem like someone who would take special care of his neighbors."

"Teacher Shen and I are now just ordinary friends?" Chen Jin was a little uncertain. They should have developed from a friendly neighbor relationship to an ordinary friendship, right?

How could she be worthy of being friends with the God of Wealth?

"Isn't this the situation? Is the next step to start moving towards another relationship?"

"Nonono, it's impossible in the next one or two years." Seeing that they were unwilling to leave without asking for clarification, Chen Jin simply made room for them. The bed was big enough anyway, so he just lay down.

"Why is it impossible within one or two years?"

"Hehe~ I can't tell you this. It's impossible now anyway." She was now only thinking about when the land in Qiaodong Village would be expropriated and when Qiaoxi Village would be demolished. It would be bad to covet other people's property at this time, as if she had ulterior motives.

Oh, that's not right, she never intended to covet him!

I simply cannot afford to support this God of Wealth. I don’t have money to buy him a car, and I don’t even have enough money to maintain his car. I dare not think about it!

Chen Jin's mouth seemed to be welded by iron, and she really couldn't say anything she didn't want to say. Yang Qian and Lin Xinran also noticed that Chen Jin really had no ideas at the moment. They just didn't know whether Teacher Shen had any ideas.

Yang Qian patted Chen Jin and said, "Did you remember to help me keep an eye out for any small Western-style houses for sale here?"

Chen Jin rolled half a circle to avoid it, "Remember, no one wants to sell it."

Then he urged them to go and rest. "You guys are just starting school now, so you're taking it too easy, right? I have to go see my students in the afternoon, so I need to go to sleep now."

"Tsk! Then go to sleep."

This was not the first time that Yang Qian and Lin Xinran came here. They were familiar with Chen Jin's home and they often went shopping together and had traveled together before, so they felt comfortable here even without Chen Jin's company.

When Chen Jin told them not to be polite, he really meant it. This person is too lazy to even say polite words.

However, the three of them did not go to Chen Jin's guest room to rest. Instead, they all sat on the sofa in the living room on the first floor to rest.

Chen Lu is still confused until now, she was just brought here by chance.

After the graduate school started, Lin Xinran finally decided to live in the school. Yang Qian, who had originally planned to live outside, also changed her mind and decided to reserve a bed in the school so she could go back to rest at noon. In the end, the three of them became roommates. As for the remaining empty beds in the dormitory, no one has been arranged to move in for the time being.

As they were both roommates and classmates, we naturally became partners on the way to and from school and having lunch together.

Her relationship with Chen Jin was just average, and she felt a little awkward when she suddenly followed him to Chen Jin's house. But when I looked at Yang Qian and Lin Xinran, it seemed that this was not their first time here. And on the display shelf above the chest of drawers, there were several rows of photos, including photos of the three of them taken together at school, as well as photos of them traveling.

The Chen Jin in private seemed to be a different person from the Chen Jin she knew during her four years in college.

After waking up from a nap, I still took Chen Baichuan’s car to go to school.

Chen Jin wanted to laugh at the fact that the three of them were so reserved when meeting Shen Baichuan as if they were meeting the professors of their own college, but when she thought about it, she herself was like this before... Never mind, the eldest brother won't talk about the second brother.

Chen Jin directly ordered cooling drinks for the entire military training period from a fruit and beverage store outside the west gate. She didn't have to drive out specifically for the delivery. The owner of the beverage store delivered them directly to her. By the way, she also negotiated a few business deals with the class teachers of other majors, so she could earn some money with each round trip.

It’s just that some classes are reserved by students themselves with their own money, and some classes are paid for by counselors. There is really no one as generous as Chen Jin who pays for everything.

Well, now the freshmen of the School of Humanities privately call Chen Jin "Rich Sister". Today Chen Jin came to see the students and unfortunately encountered a girl who fainted due to heatstroke.

She was discussing the activities arrangements for the next few evenings with several class teachers when she heard an uproar in the military training team in front of her. A girl fainted and fell to the ground. Fortunately, her classmates next to her supported her, otherwise she would have fallen on the concrete floor and her head would have been injured.

Chen Jin hurried over to check the situation.

Fortunately, the instructor was experienced and arranged for students to take the man to the shade of a tree and asked female students to help unbutton his coat. It just so happened that the ice cubes around the cooling drink delivered today had not been completely melted, so it was just right to be used to cool down this girl.

After a few minutes, the girl came to her senses and the teacher took out the Huoxiang Zhengqi water he carried with him and asked her to take it.

When the person recovered, the instructor said, "Ask your counselor to approve a note for leave and go to the infirmary."

During the military training, the instructor's signature was required for requesting leave. The class teacher had a prepared request slip. After helping to write the requester's information and reason, he gave it to the instructor to sign, and then handed the request slip to Chen Jin, "Teacher Chen."

After Chen Jin signed, he said to the female class teacher, "You accompany her back to the dormitory, I'll take you there." He then asked other class teachers to pay more attention to the situations of other students, and that they could ask her for a make-up note later if there were special circumstances.

Ever since he saw a student fainted, Chen would go to the training ground in the afternoon to check on the situation without fail unless there were any special arrangements. Even Teacher Chang said to her, "There's no need to raise them like children and visit them every day."

"I'm worried if I don't go and see you. Just get through this period of military training. The weather has been quite hot recently. It wasn't this hot last September."

Teacher Chang laughed at her: "You didn't have military training last September, so of course you didn't feel the heat."

Moreover, in September last year, Chen Jinzheng had just started her senior year. At that time, she was neither planning to continue her postgraduate studies nor in a hurry to find a job. Among the students in the entire class, she was probably the one who had the most relaxed life. How could she feel how hot it was outside?

“That’s right.”

The military training is coming to an end. The next one or two days will be spent practicing square formations, and the last day will be a parade. Whenever Chen Jin went to the training ground, he could feel the instructor's increasingly irritable mood. He felt embarrassed to just stand by and watch him yelling.

During lunch, Chen Jin mentioned to Shen Baichuan that she went to see the students' training results, but ended up listening to the instructor scolding her for half an hour. She was so embarrassed that she wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

Her students were scolded, and it was embarrassing for her as a counselor.

Shen Baichuan smiled, always feeling that her life as a counselor was a little too exciting, with something new happening every day. He is a professional course teacher and leaves immediately after class unless students come to ask questions. He seldom jokes with students in class, so some students are afraid of him. Especially last semester, the failure rate of his course was relatively high compared to other professional courses. At the beginning of this semester, he found that the students in his class did not dare to act rashly when taking his class.

So, when I heard her say that her students called her "Sister Chen" in public and "Rich Sister" in private, I couldn't help but laugh.

Not to mention, the title of rich sister is quite suitable for her.

On the day of the military training performance, Chen Jin even brought a camera to take pictures. The excitement lasted until the end of the evening's cultural performance.

I actually had the illusion that I was filling in the gaps in my university years.

Maybe it's interesting to watch others do things, but if I had to go to military training or art performances by myself, it wouldn't be so wonderful.

The three days between the end of military training and the start of the first class next Monday are holidays. But Chen Jin only has two days of vacation.

As soon as I got off work, I hurriedly called my third uncle and asked, "Last time, the land acquisition was confirmed, why is there no follow-up later?"

"They said the relevant documents have not been fully processed, so we have to wait a little longer. Don't panic, the trees have been moved anyway, it doesn't matter if it's earlier or later. If the expropriation is really implemented there, we have to relocate the graves. I'm thinking of just buying a cemetery, because I don't know where I can relocate the graves to."

Yes, all the land in Qiaodong Village has been expropriated, so they have no land here to move the graves to. This is not just their family's business, but also involves the graves of other people in the village and the village's ancestral hall.

"The village chief is also talking to someone. It's fine to expropriate the land, but the ancestral hall must be vacated and cannot be demolished. That's why they're still arguing." The third uncle said, "The ancestral hall really can't be demolished. Let's wait and see. We're not in a hurry."

Chen Jin sighed, "That's right. Anyway, I'm not in a hurry to use the money now. It doesn't matter if it's earlier or later."

The third uncle asked in confusion: "Didn't you say last time that you wanted to buy a house in Shenzhen after the money came in?"

"I thought about it last time, but I recently studied the domestic real estate situation and I always feel that now is not a good time to enter the market. It is better to keep the money and wait for a while. If there are other good investment projects, I will invest the money. Uh, I haven't thought about it yet."

"Hiss, your ideas change every day. Last week you said you were going to Shenzhen to buy a house, but this week you said you didn't want to buy one and wanted to invest in other things." The third uncle didn't say whether it was good or not, but said, "Anyway, I don't understand these business matters. Your eldest uncle knows more. You can ask him when you have time."

Chen Jin thought for a moment and said, "I've been busy with school matters lately. I'll go to my uncle's company tomorrow to talk to him."

After chatting with his third uncle, Chen Jin called his eldest uncle and made an appointment to meet at the company tomorrow.

~

Chen Wenqiang poured Chen Jin a cup of tea and asked, "Is your work going well?"

"It's going smoothly for now." But according to the experience of Teacher Chang and Teacher He, this is just the beginning and there will be many more tests in the future.

Knowing that his uncle was very busy and had an appointment with his business partners to have tea at the National Forest Park in the afternoon, Chen Jin did not waste his time and directly said that he was considering purchasing some real estate in Shenzhen.

"Purchase some? How much exactly?" He didn't think Chen Jin would come to him specifically to talk about one or two houses.

"It depends on how much money I have. I'll buy as much as I can. Well, if it's still not enough, I can go to the bank to borrow some money. I've consulted the bank president, and I have a lot of properties, so it's easy to get a mortgage loan approved."

Chen Jin looked at his uncle and asked, "Do you think my approach is a bit too aggressive?"

Chen Wenqiang snorted, "I told you to take risks, and you won't do it?"

Chen Jin chuckled, "Aren't you hesitating? I want to hear your opinion."

"If you have made up your mind, do you think it would be of any use? You are an adult, you have your own ideas. Young people should try more. However," Chen Wenqiang changed the subject and said, "As far as I know, the average house price in Shenzhen is over 6,000 yuan. If you buy a house now, you can't buy much if you pay in full. If you really want to buy, I don't recommend you to buy too much. See if you can buy one or two houses with a mortgage. After you buy the house, wait until the winter and summer vacations are over, and then find someone to do some simple renovations, and rent it out to others to collect some rent."

"I'm just a little unsure right now."

Chen Jin analyzed the various real estate policies he had collected and said, "In the past two years, the country has been very strict in regulating real estate. High-end residential properties like Hanlin Garden are subject to severe restrictions. Even mid-range properties like Xiuli Community are subject to many restrictions. Look at Hainan, it has become a disaster area. Although welfare housing cannot keep up with demand now, the country has not said it will be cancelled... I just can't decide whether it is a good idea to use so much money to buy a house in Shenzhen for investment."

"Wow, I didn't expect you to have done so much research." Chen Wenqiang was surprised. It seemed that you didn't just decide to buy a house on a whim, but had done so much homework in private.

Chen Jin said as a matter of course: "It will cost so much money, so I have to think about it carefully. Although this money is a windfall, it can't be made casually. How can I dare to invest money without studying it thoroughly?"

She bought a house last year purely because she followed the trend. Since her uncle said so, she followed suit and bought one. But she can't do this every time. She has to have her own judgment, right?

During this period, she found a lot of relevant national policies and analyzed them word by word whenever she had time. If she really couldn't understand something, she found that one of her neighbors taught economics and was a professor who could see things more deeply, so she shamelessly went to Professor Song for help to introduce her to someone else. Fortunately, no matter whether her neighbors were kind or serious, they would patiently answer questions from anyone who came to them sincerely for advice.

Chen Jin has benefited a lot during this period.

"Then why did you choose Shenzhen?"

"As for the new district, I saw the biggest increase in housing prices over the past few years, so I think it has more investment value. However, Shenzhen's housing prices are also affected by policies now, and there has been no significant increase this year compared to last year. I don't know if it will continue to be affected in the future."

Chen Wenqiang took a sip of tea and said, "It's not just Shenzhen. Housing prices across the country are affected by regulatory policies. However, the country is now promoting policies such as mortgage purchases and provident funds, which is also a great opportunity for the real estate industry. The country needs to continue to develop the economy. So many state-owned factories have closed down, and many of the laid-off workers have not yet waited for welfare housing. I think welfare housing will be cancelled sooner or later. There will be a big market for commercial housing in the future."

"You have money to buy a house in Shenzhen for investment. It's hard to say whether the housing prices will rise or fall in the next few years, but in the long run, I think there will be no problem. Anyway, you don't have to rush to sell the house after you buy it. Just leave it there and treat it as buying stocks. If you hesitate and don't think of other investment projects, just keep the money. I have only developed one-third of the land in the suburbs of Xicheng District. There will be plenty for you to invest in later."

"Or do you want to keep the money somewhere else?"

Chen Jin nodded, "We have to consider the risks. We can't put all our eggs in one basket."

I had agreed with my uncle before that I would keep the 230 I invested and when I get the dividends, I would keep the money for now. She had never thought that there would be land expropriation in Qiaodong Village before, so with the extra money, she thought about doing something else.

"You're right to think so." Chen Wenqiang said with relief: "We have analyzed what needs to be analyzed. I still say that young people, there is nothing wrong with trying more, but you have to control yourself and take smaller steps."

"Come to the company more often when you have time, and talk to my uncle about the economic development you've been thinking about recently."

"What I've thought about is all theory. I've just started to understand it, and I don't think much about it." Chen Jin waved her hand. It's better not to show off her skills in front of her uncle. When she does things, she mainly relies on understanding a little bit, and the rest depends on intuition.

"It's okay. Let's go to Xichan Temple when we have time."

Chen Jin: “…”

Her uncle is really good at doing business. He tries his best and prays to God at the same time.

"By the way, Minmin has sent the wedding invitation. We will drive to Quan City by ourselves. Remember to make time for it. Your school counselors will be on holiday during the National Day, right?"

"Yes." Chen Jin asked, "Uncle, what are you going to give me as a gift? Are you going to give me money directly or something? If you are going to give me something, then I will buy a big gold bracelet."

Chen Yongxin came back from outside. As soon as he entered his father's office, he heard Chen Jin talking about buying a big gold bracelet as a gift. He said casually: "Don't give me a big gold bracelet when I get married. It's most practical to just give me money."

The eldest uncle also agreed: "We elders just pack the money directly. We don't understand what you young people like. It's good for Minmin to have more money in her hands."

"......Let's talk about it after you get married." Chen Jin glanced at his second cousin and chuckled twice. You are busy with work and you don't call Sister Zhuang Yao more often. I think you are daydreaming about getting married.

But Chen Jin kindly reminded him, "Second brother, you have to order your wedding dress in advance for your wedding at the end of the year. It takes one or two months to customize a wedding dress now. Shouldn't you prepare it first?"

Chen Yongxin asked, "I heard you went to a wedding shop to order a wedding dress?"

My uncle's eyes widened, "Why did you buy a wedding dress?"

One or two people, they say they want to date and they get married.

"You're not going to suddenly send me a wedding invitation, are you?"
