Rich Woman Today
Her uncle once mentioned investing in building a house to her, but at that time he was just asking casually, and still in a joking tone, saying that if she didn't know what to do with the money she kept in the bank, she could consider investing the money in his land in the suburbs of Xicheng District, and then give her a share of the money in proportion.
At that time, Chen Jin didn't think too much about it. She just agreed to what her uncle said. She also asked her uncle if the company was short of money and if she could lend it to him first. But my uncle said we can talk about it when we need it.
Now her uncle called her again and asked her to go to the company for a talk. I guess he wanted to formally explain the situation to her and then settle the matter.
As soon as she left school, she received a call from Lin Xinran, "Chen Jin, have you reported in? Do you want to have dinner together later?"
Chen Jin: "I just got out of school and I'm almost home now. I won't go out in the afternoon. Let's get together another day."
"Okay. But if you're okay, don't go back to the dormitory. Qin Xuemei is asking people everywhere if they've seen you. Just now, when I wanted to go back to the dormitory, my roommate said she wanted to ask me about your house demolition. This person is really funny. What does your house demolition have to do with her? But I think she's crazy right now. I don't know if it's because of work. If you're okay, don't go back to the dormitory."
Chen Jin had never planned to move back to the school dormitory, and now that he heard about it, it was even more impossible for him to go back. "Well, I'm not going back."
When I got home, I first put the borrowed books in the study, then drove out to the bank to inquire about the procedures for withdrawing the money I had deposited in advance.
The person who received her was the same bank president who had come to apply for the card. When he heard that she wanted to withdraw the money, he hurriedly asked if she wanted to use it for other investments. Chen Jin said that it has not been confirmed yet and he wants to understand the situation first.
Chen Jin has three million in fixed deposits, which is a considerable amount of deposit for the bank. The bank president wanted to persuade her to keep the money so that the interest every month would be considerable, but Chen Jin kept smiling and said she would think it over carefully. The bank president had no choice but to tell her the situation.
Now if Chen Jin wants to withdraw the money in advance, he only needs to contact the bank three days in advance and bring his ID card to sign the consent form.
After going to the bank, he delivered the gifts for his aunt and cousin Gu Minmin to his aunt's house. He met his aunt's parents-in-law coming over. Chen Jin was not familiar with them, so he delivered the gifts and ran away quickly.
Then I had dinner outside, and when it was almost time, I went to Xiuli Community to collect this month’s rent.
She knew that Aunt Zhou's family bought a house in Xiu Li Community, but she didn't know that Aunt Zhou's house and the house she bought were in the same building. When she went downstairs after collecting the rent, she met Aunt Zhou and Chen Wenming in the elevator.
"It's not easy for us to see each other after we moved out." Aunt Zhou learned that she was here to collect rent and had to go home quickly. She didn't invite her to talk more and said that her fruit shop was now open and she could come to the shop to eat fruit next time.
If she hadn't had to go back to the small Western-style building, Chen Jin would have planned to stay a little longer and have a good chat with Aunt Zhou. Her life had been too dull lately. Without the lively things in Qiaodong Village, life seemed to be missing some spice.
However, when her third uncle, third aunt, and little aunt open shops in Xiu Li Community, she will definitely come to find Aunt Zhou to maintain good relations with them!
When she returned to the small western-style building at night, she unconsciously glanced at Shen Baichuan’s car again, and clicked her tongue twice: Another new car!
She has a lot to do every day.
She got up in the morning and made an appointment with her uncle to meet at his company at nine o'clock. Chen Jin arrived at half past eight. As soon as she entered the company gate, she saw her second cousin Chen Yongfeixin talking and laughing with a girl. She was afraid of disturbing her second cousin, so she sat on the small sofa next to them without saying a word.
It was the girl who was chatting and laughing with her second cousin who first noticed her and asked her what she was doing there.
Chen Yongxin glanced over and glanced again.
No wonder it looks so familiar!
"This is my third sister, she's here to look for my dad." Chen Yongxin walked over and patted her head. "She came over without calling me. I was wondering where this beautiful lady came from to visit our small company."
"Tsk, you messed up my hair." Chen Jin glanced at the girl who had been looking at them and winked at him, "Second brother, who is it?"
"Don't think too much. She's the daughter of my dad's friend. She comes here to do administrative work in the company."
"oh."
"You seem disappointed."
“......Not really.” I’m just too idle and want to find something fun to join in the fun.
"Oh, by the way, second brother, are you still living in Xiu Li Community?" Chen Jin knew that his second cousin had moved out of home and worked in the company for a while. Later, he cleaned up the house under his name in Xiu Li Community and lived in it himself.
Chen Yongxin nodded. "I was used to living at home before, but after moving out, I realized that it is more comfortable to live alone."
"That makes sense." Chen Jin agreed with a smile. But it’s hard to say whether my second cousin really meant what he said.
Even though the eldest uncle had divided the house and money among the three siblings, the eldest uncle still held most of the money. The eldest cousin's wife Meng Lin still often went to the eldest uncle and aunt's house. The second cousin might have moved out to avoid family affairs.
Most of the money in the hands of her uncle was invested in Chengxin Construction Company, and it was also clearly stated that the company would be handed over to her second cousin in the future. She only knew the final result, and she didn't know what the commotion was like in his family when her uncle made this decision. But it wouldn't be a very pleasant experience. She hadn't seen her eldest cousin and his wife for a while. When she went on a trip some time ago, her aunt bought her and Chen Jia clothes and bags, but she didn't mention her eldest cousin and his wife Chen Ting...
It’s true that every family has its own problems!
"Oh, you're here so early? Have you had breakfast?" Chen Wenqiang strode in and saw the brother and sister chatting about something on the sofa next to the front desk. Chen Jin was acting mysterious, and when they heard his voice, they immediately changed the subject, each one more unnatural than the other.
You can tell at first glance that it's not a good thing.
Chen Wenqiang glared at his son warningly: Stop leading your sister astray!
Chen Yongxin, who was warned by the eyes: Dou E didn’t even wrong him!
Chen Wenqiang called both of them to his office.
Family members are much more casual. The first time Chen Jin came to his uncle's office, he found that it was decorated with great taste. There were many books on the bookshelf. When he walked closer and touched it, he found his hands were covered with dust.
While the eldest uncle was looking for the finance department, the second cousin smiled and said to her, "Don't read them. Those books are just for show, to show that you are educated."
Chen Jin: “…” If you don’t look closely, you really can’t tell.
Her uncle sometimes acts like a cultured man. As long as he doesn't speak too loudly and just sits there, he can look like a "boss" or "boss".
After Chen Wenqiang finished his work, he came over and closed the office door. He got straight to the point and said, "I'm going to start construction on the land in the suburbs of Xicheng District, but I'm still short of money to build a house. I won't beat around the bush with you. I want to ask you how much money you can spare and invest some in me."
Chen Jin was mentally prepared when he received a call from his uncle yesterday, otherwise he would not have made a special trip to the bank to inquire about withdrawing his fixed deposit. She keeps a record of the money she has every month and knows it very well.
A sum of money should be left for the renovation of the nine apartments and a shop in Jinxiu Community, and some money should be kept as reserve, which is just enough to move the remaining three million.
She had reserved one million yuan for the homestead and house construction in Qiaoxi Village, plus the subsequent decoration. Now, she has spent more than 800,000 yuan on purchasing the homestead and building the house. She may have to add a little more for the subsequent decoration, but the remaining reserve money should be enough.
She had already calculated these accounts long ago, so when her uncle asked her about it, she quickly replied, "Three million."
"There are still so many?" His niece saw that he had bought a lot of things, but she didn't expect that he still had so much liquid funds in his hands.
The eldest uncle thought for a moment and said, "Keep some money for emergencies. The money is almost collected. Your third uncle invested 1 million, your second uncle and aunt didn't have much money, so they each contributed 100,000, and your eldest aunt invested 500,000. You have 2.3 million, which makes 4 million perfect."
Before this, Chen Jin thought that his uncle was really short of money, but now that his uncle said that he had asked other people, Chen Jin couldn't help but think more about it.
Does my uncle really need this four million investment? Or is he sure that the land in the suburbs of Xicheng District will be profitable if developed, so he brought them all in and wanted them to have a share of the profits?
Chen Jin thought so and asked. Then his uncle put his hands on his hips and laughed, "I said that you learned your cleverness from me. Your brain works very quickly."
"But it's true that I'm short of money. Old Zhang wanted to invest money, but I refused. It's better to make money for my family than for others."
Therefore, Chen Jin decided to invest 2.3 million yuan, and when he makes money, he will divide the money according to the proportion of investment.
After talking about business, the uncle asked her, "What do you think about your job now? I don't think you can make a decision about the city library."
Chen Jin talked about the application for the college counselor and even repeated Professor Jiang's original words. However, the matter has not been finalized yet, and it is hard to say whether Professor Jiang can have a say in the college's recruitment of counselors.
She had never told her family that she had dated someone in school, so she couldn't tell her uncle that her ex-boyfriend's current girlfriend's cousin was the vice president of the college, in case that person got in her way...
"Let's see if I can be selected as the college counselor first. If not, I can still look at the school's assignment. After all, I always get first place in the exams. There's no reason for me to be assigned to a remote position."
"Isn't that right? If they can't give you a good score, I think those people are mentally ill."
Chen Yongxin looked at his father with a complicated expression. No wonder Tingting always said that his father only knew how to praise the third sister. Look, it's just mindless praise! The children from his two uncles' and three aunts' families, plus his three brothers and sisters, were all put together, and only the third sister looked like her father's only biological child.
I still don’t understand why.
When sending Chen Jin downstairs, Chen Yongxin said, "Sometimes I feel that you are more like my father's biological child than me, my elder brother, and Tingting. I kept wondering why before, but I seem to understand it just now."
"Why?"
"Take this investment for example. My dad first brought it up at home and asked the three of us to invest our own money. I knew the situation and I would definitely invest. But my eldest brother and Tingting were not happy about it and made a lot of excuses... Then my dad stopped talking about it. He told my second uncle and his family, and they also considered it for several days before making a decision. As for you, my dad didn't even need to tell you how much return you could get from investing this money, and you took out all your wealth."
Chen Yongxin glanced at her and said, "If I had a niece like this, I would treat her as my own daughter."
Chen Jin smiled embarrassedly, "It's mainly because my uncle is reliable. If you asked me to invest the money, I might not be able to come up with so much money."
"...Do you really have to say it?"
"Hehe." Chen Jin smiled and said, "But my uncle had his fortune told before, and the person said I would bring him good fortune. My uncle believed it very much."
Chen Yongxin widened his eyes, "Is it true? You are not making it up to fool me?" How could he not know that there was such an outrageous thing?
Chen Jin nodded very seriously, "Of course it's true. My uncle used to work in the Special Administrative Region. His boss was from Chaoshan and believed in this kind of thing. After my uncle came back to start his own company, he asked someone to calculate it."
"Then how do you know?"
"Oh, my uncle dropped me off at school that day. There were people setting up stalls on the roadside and there were many people there, so we went to watch the fun. Then my uncle went to do the calculation."
Chen Yongxin: “…”
After leaving his uncle's company, Chen Jin went directly to the bank and agreed to come and withdraw the money in three days. The bank president was reluctant, but he still helped with it seriously.
Chen Jin comforted the president, saying, "If I can catch up with the demolition, I will come to your bank to deposit money again."
The bank president smiled bitterly: Is demolition a good thing that can be seen everywhere? If you catch up once, can you catch up a second time?
Three days later, Chen Jin came with her uncle and second cousin to take the money, and then received a contract in black and white, which stated how much money she had invested and how much profit she would get.
After that, on Monday, everyone had to go to Jinxiu Community to choose a house.
The demolition notices for Qiaodong Village and Mutang Village were issued at the same time, but because Qiaodong Village was very cooperative and completed the demolition work first, it had priority in choosing resettlement housing. Within Qiaodong Village, houses are chosen according to the order in which the compensation agreements were signed at that time.
Chen Jin was ranked third. After the first two companies had chosen their properties, it was her turn.
Without hesitation, I chose all the lower floors. Because Jinxiu Community does not have an elevator, the highest floor is the seventh, and houses on high floors are definitely not easier to rent than houses on low floors. There are four apartments on the first floor. She first selected Building 3, a first-floor apartment, and then selected the ones on the second and third floors.
She asked for a shop near the gate of the community. Each shop was 50 square meters. The compensation she received was 80 square meters, so she paid the compensation for 20 square meters. She spent 80,000 yuan and got the two adjacent shops.
Aunt Zhou's shop was on the other side of the gate, and she also had to pay part of the money to get in.
When Chen Jin saw Lawyer Mo appear here, he was about to ask whose matter it was, but suddenly he remembered that when Aunt Zhou separated from the family, it was agreed that the six resettlement houses and shops would belong to her.
Just as he was thinking about it, he saw Chen Wenxing coming over with Chen Sangong and Chen Sanpo.
One of Chen Wenxing's eyes was bruised and swollen. He kept his head down when he came over and didn't talk to anyone.
Chen Jin patted his third aunt's arm and motioned for her to look, "Was he beaten up?"
Third aunt snorted, "Serves you right!"
"What do you mean?" Chen Jin was curious.
"When the family was divided, it was agreed that the resettlement houses and shops would belong to Zhou Xiangxiang and Chen Wenming. Chen Wenxing has changed his mind now and instigated his parents to make a scene, saying that they wanted to divide the property again. He wants three resettlement houses, to be divided equally between the two brothers."
Chen Jin curled his lips in disdain. This guy is really shameless. He wants it all and wants to take advantage of everything.
"Mr. and Mrs. Chen were also confused. They went to Zhou Xiangxiang's store to make a scene and insisted on redividing the property. Zhou Xiangxiang went to their house that day and beat up Chen Wenxing and his wife. Do you think Mr. and Mrs. Chen are behaving well now? They were slapped several times. The police were called in, but they said it was a family matter and asked them to negotiate privately. They didn't even take them back to the police station."
"Zhou Xiangxiang is very powerful. She squatted at the door of their house with a kitchen knife, and they didn't dare to come out. Look, Zhou Xiangxiang asked Lawyer Mo to come today, and they will go to transfer the house later. Chen Wenxing and his friends don't dare to make trouble, unless they don't want to live like this anymore."
Chen Jin felt very happy. She was afraid to hear that others had suffered losses and had to swallow their grievances. Aunt Zhou is indeed a role model for us!
"Chen Wenxing is really a piece of shit. In the past, everyone praised him for being educated and knowledgeable, but all the books he read went down the drain. He is always calculating and scheming against others." Third aunt pouted and said, "He also wanted to instigate the villagers living in Rose Garden to curse Zhou Xiangxiang. No one dared to deal with him. Even the old Party Secretary didn't dare to say a word this time."
Chen Jin laughed: "If he gets involved again, Aunt Zhou will definitely tear him apart."
As he was speaking, Chen Jin saw the old branch secretary's family coming over. Chen Wensong had a sullen face, as if someone owed him hundreds of thousands of dollars. He, Chen Wenxing, Chen Sangong and Chen Sanpo had the ugliest expressions. Others who came to choose a house were all happy.
The third aunt pulled her and whispered, "Chen Wensong's current wife gave birth to a girl."
Chen Jin gloated: "We are so lucky? Didn't they say they went for a checkup and confirmed it was a boy?"
"Well, you can't predict this kind of thing. The machine may have problems too."
It's a pity that Aunt Xin and Chen Yue were not present at this big occasion today. If they were here, someone would definitely laugh out loud for her.
Chen Wensong and the old secretary are such bad husband and wife. Maybe they will have to keep trying to have a son in the future. It would be best if his current wife can give birth to one. Otherwise, the life of the little girl who was just born will be hard to say, with such parents and grandparents...
All eighteen households in Qiaodong Village had chosen their houses, and the people in Mutang Village had chosen a few. Later, some people began to express dissatisfaction.
"Why did they pick all the good houses first? The rest are all high-rise buildings, how can we choose?"
"That's right, isn't this just nonsense? Otherwise, we can just draw lots and see whichever one we draw goes."
"Yes! Or we can draw again. The good floors have all been taken by people from Qiaodong Village."
They were making so much noise and clamor. Here, the village chief Chen Guangman was already chasing them away. "Go back quickly after you've made your choice. Why are you still watching the fun? You'll get yourself into trouble later. Go, go, go!"
Everyone felt that what the village chief said made sense. Their houses had already been decided, and whatever happened in Mutang Village was none of their business. Someone would naturally come to take care of it. They were the ones who had received benefits, so they shouldn't stay here and get in the way. One by one, they all ran very fast.
The people left in Mutang Village were still arguing.
There is no rush to renovate the houses and shops in Jinxiu Community. We will wait until the houses in Qiaoxi Village are renovated before we can have people renovate the Jinxiu Community.
In mid-March, my third uncle and aunt's "Yongfei Supermarket" and my aunt's "Yong'an Breakfast Shop" officially opened. Chen Jin came specially to show his support and gave them two fruit baskets.
The fruit basket was bought at Aunt Zhou’s “Xiangxiang Fruit Shop”.
The occupancy rate of Xiuli Community is gradually increasing because people from Qiaodong Village are flocking here to buy houses, resulting in half of the people living in this community being tenants.
As more people live in the community, the shops outside the community are gradually becoming lively. There is more than one supermarket and one breakfast shop along the way. Currently, the only fruit shop is Aunt Zhou’s.
After seeing the supermarket opened by her third uncle and aunt, Chen Jin was also considering whether to connect her two shops and open a supermarket as well. I didn't think too much about it before, but now I thought of another thing. If I give the shop over there to Tian Miao to manage, it would be inconvenient for Tian Miao to travel back and forth since she lives in the Rose Garden.
It would be fine to leave another house for Tian Miao to live in, but I am worried that she might be unsafe there alone.
Find a chance to ask Tian Miao for her opinion first.
Chen Jin still found some time to go to Qiaoxi Village to check out the progress of the renovation and also met his cousin Meng Chong whom he hadn't seen for a long time.
He still has his arm, but half of his right palm is missing. Now he can use his left hand to replace his right hand, which is enough for him to cope with daily life.
"Third sister." Meng Chong looked for a long time before recognizing Chen Jin. He smiled and looked her up and down, and said, "I almost didn't recognize you."
Chen Jin also smiled and said that this showed that her makeup was not in vain, and this was exactly the effect she wanted.
"Come on, I'll take you to see the effect of the renovation. The first to third floors have been renovated, but the upper floors are not yet completed." Meng Chong took her to see her building. There were a total of 5 rooms on each floor. All of them were large single rooms with complete kitchens and bathrooms. Compared with most of the old rental houses in Qiaoxi Village, their place seemed more humane. At least they didn't have to go to the end of the corridor to squeeze into the toilet early in the morning, and they didn't have to worry with their neighbors about the common water and electricity consumption every month.
The floor of the house is paved with tiles. The pattern is outdated and it is cheaper. But even so, it makes the small rental house look clean and tidy.
The other four buildings have the same layout and decoration, but there are only four rooms on each floor, and the rooms are smaller.
Meng Chong's cousin agreed with her to rent a shop on the first floor. He decided to manage the rental and open a small shop here, so that he could earn extra income.
"Cousin Mengchong, you can pick the shop you like first. If you refuse to pay me the rent, then I'll give you a discount, 50% of other people's rent. Is that okay? If it's more, forget it. We're not outsiders."
Meng Chong smiled, "Then I'll take advantage of you. Thank you, rich woman."
Hearing this name, Chen Jin couldn't help laughing and laughed a few times, "Could this be a new nickname given to me by the people of Qiaoxi Village?"
Meng Chong looked at her helplessly and smiled: You know that you have a bad reputation in Qiaoxi Village, right?
"I'm telling you, they used to secretly call me a troublemaker. Hey, don't tell me, I actually like this new nickname."
Meng Chong saw her laughing foolishly and started laughing too.

When Chen Jin finished the latest version of her graduation thesis and was planning on going to school to see Professor Jiang one day, her counselor called her.
"You have passed the preliminary selection for the college counselors. We are recruiting two counselors, so a total of six people will enter the interview stage. I have seen that you have the greatest advantage, so prepare well. Oh, yes, the interview will be held at 9 am the day after tomorrow in the conference room on the first floor of the college, so prepare well."
Chen Jin nodded secretly, and then asked: "Teacher, do I need to prepare any materials? Are there any special requirements for the interview?"
"Go to the Academic Affairs Office to get a transcript, and it's best to bring your award certificates with you. Dress formally for the interview, but don't dress too fancy. Most of the interviewers will be teachers from our college, so if you answer the questions carefully, there will be no problem. Prepare well."
"Okay! Thank you, teacher!"
After hanging up the phone, Chen Jin uttered loudly twice in the study, then ran to the bedroom to look at the clothes at home. Every set seemed suitable, but after taking a closer look, he felt that they were not very suitable.
Oh, no need to worry about it! Go out and buy two sets of work clothes so you can wear them to the interview.
And she didn't notice that the window of the study was open when she was in the study just now. The two shouts she made were so sharp and penetrating that they frightened Shen Baichuan, who had just entered the courtyard next door, and he staggered and almost knelt on the spot.
