Land Acquisition
"You followed me all the way secretly. Are you planning to follow me home to find out where I live? Are you planning to go to my house and block Ling Yun next week?"
Originally, Chen Jin was not particularly sure, but now seeing Tang Zuming's guilty look, she knew that she was right. This guy actually wanted to follow her back so that he could ambush her at her house next week.
Tang Zuming said confidently: "If you tell me which building your home is in, I won't follow you."
Chen Jin laughed, "Do you know me well? How can I tell you where I live? I live in the Fourth Hospital, go and block it."
"...No, you don't have to curse yourself like that." Tang Zuming's voice gradually became quieter under Chen Jin's cold gaze. He quickly thought of another thing and took credit for it: "At the class reunion at the beginning of the year, people in the class said something about you, and I helped you fight back. You have to remember this, okay?"
Chen Jin didn't believe it. "You will help me fight back? Are you going to help me step on you when I'm not around?"
"When have I ever stepped on you? I didn't hold it against you when you threw your love letter at me before!" Tang Zuming walked around to the other side of Chen Jin's car and tried to open the passenger door, but he couldn't and Chen Jin refused to open it for him. He could only go back to the driver's seat and continue, "They laughed at you for being poor and powerless. I helped you spread the news of your house demolition, but you didn't even see it. Their faces were swollen at the time. How about it? Is that good enough? Although I can't stand you, you are Ling Yun's good friend in school... Hey, hey, hey, why do you run away when you don't get along with me? Roll down the window, can't you just talk nicely?"
Chen Jin now just wanted to beat his head off. No wonder so many people knew about the demolition of her house all of a sudden. It turned out that the source was from him.
Although it feels good to get slapped in the face, she didn’t see it! Such a gratifying thing, and Tang Zuming did it for her? !
She said that this bastard Tang Zuming was not worthy of Ling Yun even a hair. Help him chase someone? That is not possible at all.
"You already know which unit Ling Yun works at. If you have the guts, go chase him yourself. Don't come to me for help. Not only will I not help you, I will also say bad things about you." Chen Jin said directly, "You can also find my house through other channels, but if you dare to go to my house to block people, I will dare to use a water pipe to spray you. If you don't believe me, try the power of my high-pressure water pipe. I usually use it to clean the yard and I think it is very useful."
"Take your hands away. Aren't you working? Are you so idle that you go looking for news about Ling Yun every day? Just ask your parents to arrange a blind date for you."
Tang Zuming rolled his eyes at her and said, "You don't understand."
"You can help me or not. When Ling Yun and I are together in the future, I will ask her to break off all ties with you!"
"......Tang Zuming, are you really mentally ill? Are you suffering from paranoia?" Chen Jin asked seriously and concernedly.
"No? I just want to!"
It is really impossible to communicate with him. If it were anyone else, Chen Jin would get out of the car and curse at them. But Tang Zuming is different. This man is thick-skinned and has his own logic to convince himself. He also has a strong and optimistic heart... Forget it, I can't win the argument, so I'll just run away.
I found a small shop in Dongcheng District, sat down and ate a bowl of hot wontons. When I went to pay the bill, I found that Tang Zuming's car was nearby. She was really convinced.
Okay, follow me.
Chen Jin also went to Guxi Road to buy two small cakes and returned to the small Western-style building smoothly. After entering the community, she stopped to look and saw that Tang Zuming was stopped by the security guard. Then she smiled and went home.
Seeing that there was no car parked in the parking space in front of the neighbor's house, she put all the cakes in the refrigerator and then went upstairs to wash up.
This afternoon's sleep felt like a whole day and night.
When Chen Jin got up, the room was pitch black. He turned on the desk lamp and opened the curtains. It was dark outside as well. He looked at the clock and it was already eight o'clock in the evening.
I sat at the end of the bed in a daze, then packed up the small box on the floor, threw the clothes into the washing machine, and went downstairs to the kitchen to cook instant noodles.
In fact, she thinks instant noodles are better eaten dry, but it’s magical that if they are not boiled with boiling water, she just doesn’t feel full.
The courtyard door dinged and as soon as Chen Jin scooped up the noodles, he quickly tore open the seasoning packet and poured it into the noodles, stirring them. Then he said "I'm coming" and trotted to open the door.
At this time, the person who would ring the doorbell would either be Professor Song or Teacher Shen.
When I opened the door, it was indeed Teacher Shen.
Chen Jin turned back to the house and took the extra cake with him. "I stopped by Dongcheng District on my way back today, so I brought you one."
"Thank you." Shen Baichuan coughed, his voice a little hoarse, and said: "I saw your car when I came back in the afternoon. I rang the doorbell but no one came to open the door. Then I saw that the lights in your house were not on..."
He thought she had gone out again.
"Oh, I didn't hear it this afternoon because I was sleeping upstairs. I slept very deeply." Chen Jin heard him cough again and asked, "Teacher Shen, do you have a cold?"
“No.” Shen Baichuan glanced at her and said, “Yesterday, I went with my friends to try the hot pot restaurant that Teacher Chen mentioned. It was so spicy that it hurt my throat.”
“…” Chen Jin felt inexplicably guilty, she and Shen Baichuan were talking about delicious restaurants in Rong City during lunch one day, and she mentioned the hot pot restaurant she went to with Ling Yun, and she also suggested that Shen Baichuan try the medium level of spiciness, she felt that it was not spicy, just right.
It seems that Teacher Shen can't eat spicy food.
Tsk, with this noise, how am I going to attend class tomorrow? What a sin.
"Then let's have some herbal tea? But there doesn't seem to be much herbal tea for sale here..."
"Well, I'll just drink more water when I get home. By the way, has Teacher Chen eaten yet?"
"My instant noodles!" Chen Jin hurriedly stuffed the cake he brought back into Shen Baichuan's arms and said hurriedly, "Teacher Shen, I'm going back to eat. Bye."
"Goodbye." Shen Baichuan looked down at the cake bag in his hand. It was not convenient to go to someone's house so late.
Teacher Chen is a very busy person, and it's hard to find her to talk to her alone.
The next day at noon, Chen Jin was eating and waiting for a long time. Finally, he couldn't help but asked directly: "Teacher Shen, do you have something to tell me?"
It's so tangled, could it be...
"Has the land acquisition issue been blown?"
The chef of the third canteen performed poorly today, and the signature dishes of the past were sweet and salty. Chen Jin hurriedly unscrewed the water cup and drank two sips of water. Without waiting for Shen Baichuan to explain, he said, "It's okay. It's a big deal. I can't let the pie fall on my head every time. It's okay if I can't requisition it. I can plant peach trees on that piece of land for a few years, and I can pick peaches and sell them in the future. It won't be a loss."
When the time comes, we will take them to the gates of the science and technology park and industrial park and sell them.
"Teacher Shen, please don't take it to heart. Really! Even if the land is not expropriated, I will still treat you to a meal."
I was about to say, “Teacher Chen, you misunderstood,” but Shen Baichuan changed the subject and nodded directly, “Okay, when do we eat? Is this weekend okay?”
Shen Baichuan suddenly felt that he was acting too eager and unreasonable, so he explained, “I may be busy in a while.”
Chen Jin thought about her own affairs. She might be busy later. Qiaoxi Village voted last time, but there is still no final result. There is no follow-up whether to sign or not.
There will be a school sports meet and a school anniversary next month, and there will be many activities in the school. I also have to find time to chat with students individually, especially those who are more busy...
"This weekend is a weekend off, so how about Saturday afternoon? You mentioned last time that the Buddha Jumps Over the Wall at Juchunyuan in Dongcheng District is very famous, so why don't we go try it together?"
“Okay!” Shen Baichuan immediately agreed, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.
"but......"
"But what?"
"As far as I know, the procedures for the last piece of land in Qiaodong Village have been completed. It happened to coincide with the National Day so we didn't have time to notify you. There should be news in the next two days."
Chen Jin's eyes suddenly lit up, and he confirmed in surprise: "Really?!"
"Absolutely true." Shen Baichuan also laughed along with her.
"The compensation is quite generous. Congratulations to Teacher Chen."
"Hehe, congratulations to you all."
I can't control the corners of my mouth from twisting up, ahhhh, who can control this!
She was a small wealthy woman before, but now she is going to evolve into a middle wealthy woman! You are one step closer to becoming a truly wealthy woman.
It’s all thanks to God’s gift!
Chen Jin raised his head, his eyes shining and he looked at Shen Baichuan sincerely, "Teacher Shen, thank you so much! I'll treat you on Saturday, so please don't be polite to me."
Shen Baichuan smiled, “Okay.”
After a while, Shen Baichuan said jokingly: “Teacher Chen’s standards for finding a partner are also very high now, right?”
She has to find someone who is not greedy for her money. To be reliable, she should find someone who is much richer than her, so that she won't have to worry about her money being coveted. Teacher Chen is an excellent person, so he should at least find someone with similar qualifications, right?
In fact, after such an inventory, the scope that can be identified is very small.
Chen Jin waved his hand nonchalantly and said, "Let's talk about finding a partner later. I think I'm fine the way I am now."
Shen Baichuan slowed down his action of scooping rice, "Teacher Chen doesn't want to get married?"
This is not impossible. His mother, for example, has said many times that if it weren't for some arranged marriage, she wouldn't want to get married. Maintaining all kinds of relationships in a large family can torture a person into a shrew.
"I...well, I haven't thought about it yet. I'll talk about it later."
Chen Jin quickly changed the subject and asked back, "Teacher Shen, your family should have arranged a lot of blind dates for you, right?"
"I have been with my mother since I was a child. She is more open-minded and rarely interferes with my affairs. The Cheng family here can't control me either." Shen Baichuan said with deep meaning: "So, my wife, don't bother to deal with relatives on my grandfather's side in the future. Well, I also own shares in the Cheng Group, and the dividends I get every year are not bad. My grandfather hasn't given him his share yet, but I will try my best to get more."
"Then do your best!"
Considering how ruthless Mr. Shen is, he should be able to gain a lot.
They are both fighting for the family assets, but she looks down on people like Chen Ting. You want to fight but don't dare to do it openly. Even if you win, you may not be able to keep it. You can only complain and wait for others to give you points. She admires people like Teacher Shen. It’s okay to be a little cruel. If you want something, just fight for it! If you can't win the fight, it means you are not as skilled as others and you can only give up. But if you don't even try to fight and look gloomy, no one will like you.
Chen Jin drove her own car back at noon, while Shen Baichuan was going to the company. When saying goodbye, Shen Baichuan specifically reminded her, “Teacher Chen, then I will call Juchunyuan to book a private room.”
Chen Jin thought about it and said, "I'll decide. Teacher Shen, give me a number for Juchun Garden."
"Okay, I'll bring it to you at lunch tomorrow."
Chen Jin didn't even wait to drive back. He called his eldest uncle in the car and said as soon as he got through: "Uncle, good news! The land acquisition in the village has been finalized. There will be news in the next two days. You should be ready to go back to the village when the time comes. I'm going to call my third uncle now."
"Are you sure? Wait a minute, where did you get this information? Did your neighbor next door tell you?"
"Oh, yes! What Teacher Shen said is basically reliable. Uncle, I'm going to call Uncle Three."
After hanging up the phone, he called his third uncle. He repeated in an excited tone, "Uncle San, good news!......"
After notifying the two elders that they were in place, Chen Jin started the car and went home. When I passed the guard room, I was stopped.
"Teacher Chen, there's a guy named Tang Zuming who came here yesterday and today, saying he's your old classmate. I asked him to call you and pick you up, but he said he didn't have your home phone number. This..."
"Next time you see him, just stop him. I don't know him well. Thank you, and I'll treat you to some fruit that I just bought." Chen Jin took out two big apples from the fruit bag on the passenger seat next to him and handed them over. Seeing that he refused, he put them directly on the windowsill and thanked him again.
The guard picked up two big red apples, put them in the drawer, and the smile on his face deepened.
"Teacher Chen is such a down-to-earth person..."
The next day, Chen Jin got the business card of Juchunyuan from Shen Baichuan, and after returning, he called to reserve a seat, and then made several more calls.
Finally, the plan of treating everyone to a meal was settled.
Chen Jin's good mood was obvious to everyone. From yesterday afternoon to this afternoon, I occasionally glanced at her office and saw her smiling. Teacher Chang joked, "You look so good, I would think you got rich."
Chen Jin raised his eyebrows, and finally restrained his smile a little, saying: "No, I watched a TV series yesterday and found it very interesting."
"What TV series?" Zhou Ding casually continued.
"Little Dragon Man"
As soon as the words fell, Chen Jin's mind was filled with "I have horns on my head, a tail behind me, no one knows how many secrets I have..."
Hehe, she is now also a "little green dragon" who possesses the secret of the treasure!
In the afternoon, Chen Jin received a call from her third uncle, asking her to take a leave and return to the village tomorrow and bring her household registration book and ID card.
"Okay, Third Uncle." Chen Jin tried his best to suppress his excitement in the office. Although it wasn't the first time that I had experienced something as great as pie falling from the sky, I still felt so cowardly as to want to run out and yell.
Chen Jin asked others whether the college leaders were in the college. Then he quickly went out to ask his leader for leave.
"Take a leave? Sure, just arrange your work." The person who approved her leave was the vice president, the cousin of Li Xingyi's current wife.
Vice President Sun is also the deputy secretary of the college party committee and directly manages several counselors. When Vice President Sun talked to her for the first time, she was wondering whether he would educate her with some personal emotions. In fact, she was just being petty. She didn't care about the love affairs of these young people at all. Every time she was approached, she talked about work, which was no different from an ordinary leader.
While signing, Vice President Sun asked, "Have you encountered any difficulties in your work or life recently?"
"No, everything is going smoothly for now."
"Well, that's fine. When you encounter difficulties, think more. If you can't solve them, ask your seniors for help."
"Okay!" Chen Jin thanked him after taking the note, then slipped away. After returning to the office, she told other teachers about her leave and asked them to help deal with it if they saw her students coming to see her.
At this time, when students come to us, it’s basically about asking for leave, it’s not a big deal.
When it was time to get off work, Chen Jin picked up his bag and was the first to step out of the office on time.
Teacher He glanced at Chen Jin's neatly tidied desk, which was decorated with beautiful ornaments and flowers, and asked curiously, "What do you think happened to Teacher Chen? I saw that she seemed very happy these past two days. Teacher Zhou, you know something, right?"
Zhou Ding shook his head. "Teacher Chen and I aren't that familiar with each other. How would I know about her affairs?"
What's more, Chen Jin doesn't go out to eat with them most of the time, and they communicate even less outside of work.
"I see that you young people have a lot to talk about. Besides, Teacher Zhou, you and Teacher Chen are about the same age, so it's actually a good fit for you to be in a relationship." Teacher He joked.
Zhou Ding was horrified and waved his hands repeatedly, "You can't joke like that. Teacher Chen and I are just ordinary colleagues. There's really nothing more to it."
Are you kidding? Can't he see that Chen Jin is in good condition? If Chen Jin was just an ordinary counselor, he might have pursued her. But that’s not the case. When pursuing someone, one must have some self-awareness!
The most important thing is that he and Chen Jin are classmates. Although they are not in the same major, he has heard more or less about the gossip coming out of the Chinese Department. Chen Jin is also a powerful man, and he can't resist him.
Teacher Chang also helped, saying, "It's really not a good idea to make such jokes. We are all colleagues in the same office."
Teacher He smiled awkwardly, "Then I won't say anything."
—
Chen Jin drove straight to Xicheng District after get off work yesterday. He had dinner at his third uncle's house and learned about the land acquisition situation in the village. I returned to Hanlin Garden that night and was excited for half the night. The next morning, I couldn't wait to go to the Rose Garden to pick up my third uncle, third aunt, eldest uncle and eldest aunt.
My third cousin went out to lead a tour group, and Chen Yongan is still in school, so it’s normal that the two of them couldn’t come. But, "Uncle, aren't the brothers going?"
Although it is not as big as demolition, it is also a big deal. Regarding the ancestral grave in the village, the village chief has notified every household, and each family has to send someone back. If there is nothing else important, the villagers should all go back.
"I told them not to join in the fun. I told them that no one would get a share of the land compensation. This is our retirement money. The same goes for the house in Qiaoxi Village. If it is really demolished in the future, no matter whether it is the house or the money, we will not share this part. We will talk about it when we die."
The eldest uncle stared ahead and continued, "The children have grown up and each has his own ideas. When they are divided into three small families, there will be more voices. The second child seems to be okay now... It's safest to keep the money in your own hands."
Chen Jin nodded in agreement. It is better to have it yourself than to have it from your parents. Conversely, it is better to have it yourself than to have it from your sons and daughters.
"Then you and your aunt should hold on to the money and give it to whoever is filial to you. If none of them are filial, then find a nursing home and there will definitely be someone who is filial to you."
"That's right. If you have money, what can't you accomplish?"
When I was driving past Qiaoxi Village and drove a little further, I found that many people riding motorcycles towards Qiaodong Village were actually from Qiaoxi Village. Among them is Liu Guangman, the village chief of Qiaoxi Village.
"With so many people going there, are they going to watch the fun or to cause trouble?" Chen Jin asked in surprise.
When Qiaodong Village was demolished before, there weren't so many of them rushing to Qiaodong Village. Maybe they are getting anxious and angry as the village is demolished and requisitioned but Qiaoxi Village is never got its turn?
"Even if they have ten guts, they won't dare to cause trouble." Chen Wenqiang has a thorough understanding of the fighting power of the people in Qiaoxi Village. He added: "The village chief has already called Chen Wenhao, and the police station will definitely arrange someone to come over."
"Also, I heard that someone is targeting our village. When the land acquisition funds come in again and we get the money, we'd better be careful."
Then, Chen Jin heard about many cases of people who were being scammed when their homes were demolished in Mutang Village. Even Chen Bagu's son Chen Yongqiang, although he had a gambling addiction, he had only been a small gambler before. As a result, he was targeted and scammed to take away most of his compensation.
They did not come to "besiege" the households being relocated in Qiaodong Village at the beginning. Firstly, there were few households being relocated here, and secondly, the village chief was strict, and Chen Wenhao, who worked at the local police station, was keeping an eye on them, so these people did not dare to make trouble. So they turned their attention to Mutang Village, where many households were to be relocated.
If one fails, there is always another.
Beauty, gambling, they've all been tried, it's impossible that no one will fall into the trap. Once you fall in, it's difficult to climb out again.
It is easier to guard against someone who comes openly, but I am afraid of someone who comes secretly and I won’t be able to tell whether it is a trap.
Chen Jin sighed, it is not easy to make money, and it is equally difficult to keep money.
