Signature (Transitional Stamp)
As soon as he came out of Lao Liu’s house, Chen Jin called Shen Baichuan.
"Oh, yes, you don't have to come now. Yes, it's a pity that the excitement in the morning is over. I won't stay here in the afternoon. I plan to take a nap at the beauty salon and then go to Guxi Road to eat a cake."
Shen Baichuan's tone on the phone was very regretful, probably because he didn't expect the excitement to start so early. Judging from Chen Jin’s tone, she seemed quite satisfied with the “lively” result. It's a shame I didn't come to see it.
Chen Jin comforted him, "It's okay. There will definitely be a lot of excitement when the contract is signed tomorrow."
Just wait and see. If there are a few stubborn ones, the signing scene will be quite chaotic.
Chen Jin said he wanted to invite Nie Rong to dinner, but he had something else to do in the afternoon. Liu Mantang invited him to give a legal education to the villagers, so he couldn't leave. So, we had lunch at the fried noodle shop in their self-built building.
"Jin Jie, shall we have dinner together tonight? Brother Hua and the others are coming out, along with my childhood friend, Shang Jing, the top female boss in our compound."
Shang Jing? The rich woman in their compound that Ling Yun mentioned?
Chen Jin was a little hesitant. Ling Yun was not there. In fact, she was only relatively familiar with Nie Rong. Her relationships with the others were average. After all, she had met Wei Zhenhua and Xiang Qian several times.
"Forget it. Your childhood friends in the compound are having a dinner together. Why should I join in the fun? I'd better wait for Lingyun to come back." It's been a long time since I last saw Lingyun. She said she should come back in September or October, and she will go back to the No. 3 Middle School in the city to do the pilot recruitment promotion.
"Go ahead, what are you afraid of? We are not the only ones here, they will bring their friends with them. Why don't you just call your friends? It's ok for you to call your friends." Nie Rong saw that she was interested, and continued, "Let's go to the seafood restaurant we went to last time. Today is Saturday, so there will be a lot of people, and Brother Hua has already booked a table. Do you want to go?"
Thinking that she would be in Dongcheng District in the afternoon and the Seafood Restaurant was also in Dongcheng District, she hadn't decided what to eat for dinner... Before agreeing, Chen Jin specifically asked Xiang Qian if he wanted to go.
Nie Rong saw through her thoughts and said with a smile, "What are you afraid of? Isn't it just going to the police station to rescue someone? In the past, our group would wait for our family members to rescue us. We had a group fight outside the school, but we ran into people from the police station eating nearby and were arrested. Only Ling Yun and Xie Ning were the most cunning. They were the best at sneaking away."
Okay, no need to say more, Xiang Qian has already told them. That little bit of embarrassment was instantly forgotten. He glanced at the time, “Wait a minute, I’ll call Shen Baichuan again, and I’ll ask him if he wants to have dinner together tonight.”
Nie Rong raised his eyebrows and stretched out the word "oh" twice. When Chen Jin glanced at him, he immediately pursed his lips.
He is slow, but he is not stupid. Can the friend who you think of inviting out for dinner as your first thought be an ordinary friend?
It’s these two people, similar to Xie Ning and Ling Yun. The specific circumstances are different, but the essence is the same. It makes sense that Sister Jin and Sister Yun can get together and be friends.
After answering the phone, Chen Jin got straight to the point and asked, "Nie Rong and Wei Zhenhua are going to the same seafood restaurant tonight, and they have other friends with them. Are you free? Do you want to come out for dinner?"
"My friend? I didn't invite anyone else. My second sister-in-law is pregnant, and my second brother either goes to night school or goes home to accompany my second sister-in-law. My third brother is also out of town. The others are even less free." Chen Jin said: "You have an appointment with Zhuo Jiyu? Oh, then even if it's okay... bring him along? Let me ask."
Nie Rong swore that he was not eavesdropping, but Chen Jin was sitting in the store and making a phone call, and his voice was not avoiding him, so he heard it: Zhuo Jiyu?
The one he knew?
Seeing Chen Jin looking over, Nie Rong nodded repeatedly, "Sure!"
Chen Jin added: "If Zhuo Jiyu comes, his wife, my friend, will also come. There are two other friends, we are in the same group... There are too many people, how about we meet you another day..."
"No need to reschedule, today is the best day. You can call your friends, no problem. There are a few of us, plus your friends, so we can just make up a table." Nie Rong urged her to reply quickly.
She acted like a messenger, and only after confirming with Nie Rong and Shen Baichuan did she call Yang Qian again. After telling her the purpose of her visit, she asked her to ask Lin Xinran and Chen Lu, but Lin Xinran and Chen Lu had to go to classes in the evening and could not come.
"What?" Chen Jin frowned. "The way you look at me reminds me of a bank president I know." That time when she went to the bank with her uncle to withdraw money, President Huang was like a cat seeing a mouse when he heard her uncle say that his uncle was in engineering and real estate.
Nie Rong said sincerely, "Sister Jin, can you introduce me to some of your friends?"
Chen Jin also thought about it seriously and said, "Most of my friends are here. The rest are not your target customers."
Maybe because he had heard his uncle talk so much, Chen Jin was no longer averse to dinner parties that were arranged due to vested interests. In the words of Professor Kong: You must know how to integrate resources.
Friends around you are also very valuable resources.
You should interact with people you need to interact with normally, so that when you need help from someone one day, at least you won’t be unable to recognize them or call their names. That's so embarrassing.
For example, Xiang Qian, she almost didn't recognize him last time.
"Your two friends who go to night school are the ones who are in graduate school and also run a tutoring organization?"
"Yeah, isn't it amazing?"
"Great!" Nie Rong gave a thumbs up in admiration and flattered her at the same time, "Anyone who can play with my sister Jin must be very capable."
"Don't say that. I feel guilty."
Chen Jin sighed. It was because of these capable people that she couldn't even lie down at home in peace!
After leaving Qiaoxi Village, Chen Jin seemed to see Liu Yang from Bald Three Convenience Store waving and saying hello to her? I don't know what this person means. It seems like she is very familiar with him.
Go straight to the beauty salon on Zhongshan Road in Dongcheng District.
I haven't been here for a while. The store's deputy manager was promoted to manager, and the original manager was assigned to open a new store. He has a bright future, and this area in Dongcheng District will be under the management of the original manager.
Chen Jin is hoping that they can expand faster, preferably to the vicinity of Nanjing University this year, so that he won't have to worry about the distance in the future. It's close, so it's convenient to go out.
The big orange dog followed her into the small room. While she was taking a nap, it lay beside her pillow and watched her, poking her from time to time. She thought it was curious about the black stuff on her face. After being poked awake several times, Chen Jin felt that it might be testing whether she was dead.
So Chen Jin held down one of its paws to prevent it from moving so that it could take a nap.
I was originally planning to go to Guxi Road to eat cake, but I met Sister Zhao and her friends in the beauty salon. They were the older sisters who taught me makeup back then.
Chen Jin was pulled to sit down and asked about his recent work.
However, she felt that the atmosphere in this group of old sisters was not right. It seemed that Sister Zhao had a conflict with one of the older sisters, and the others were helping to mediate.
These people have a lot of thoughts in their minds and always speak in a roundabout way. After all, it's still related to their family businesses. Oh, I thought people would talk about gossip when they hang out privately. But other people are not as idle and bored as her.
Chen Jin listened for a while, then made an excuse and ran away.
Having not gotten enough sleep at noon and having listened to a bunch of confusing things, Chen Jin felt that this afternoon was not happy enough and thought about going out to eat something sweet to cheer himself up.
But she didn't expect that she would see Shen Baichuan here as soon as she arrived. Looks like it's been here for a while.
Daju discovered the person earlier than her. After slipping down, he wanted to run in quickly, but then he bumped into the glass door. With that "pop" sound...Chen Jin immediately forgave it for its "harassment" at noon and laughed out loud without any hesitation.
She picked it up and walked in, greeting Shen Baichuan who had been staring at her across the glass, “I thought you weren’t going out this afternoon.”
"I'm going to the company to do some work on the way."
Chen Jin blinked, "Didn't your company move to the Science Park? To your grandfather's company?"
"......Yeah, that's right." Shen Baichuan said smoothly: "I came out because I didn't have classes in the afternoon. I didn't expect to meet you here. It's quite a coincidence."
Chen Jin chuckled, too lazy to expose him. She clearly said on the phone that she would come to this store in the afternoon. What coincidence? She doesn't believe it. Since someone is pretending to be stupid, then she might as well pretend to be stupid. If it’s a coincidence, then it’s just a coincidence.
Shen Baichuan asked her what flavor she wanted to eat today, and then helped her call the waiter to take the order. While waiting for the cake to be served, he asked, "Won't you tell me about the excitement in the morning?"
"Come, let Daju talk to you."
Seeing Shen Baichuan was stunned, Chen Jin laughed and said, “It’s a pity that you didn’t see it today. I played pretty well today.”
As if showing off his medal of excellence, Chen Jin said, "This time I admit that I planned to cause trouble."
So Chen Jin started talking about the matter from the time he received the call from Old Man Liu yesterday, interspersed with a lot of old things. After saying this, I felt as if I had thrown away a burden and felt relieved.
If this wasn't in a public place, she would have put her hands on her hips proudly.
"Every time I have a chance, I want to go and see the excitement at their house. However, every time I look at their family members, I feel uncomfortable. This time, I've scolded them enough. In the future, as long as they don't come to provoke me, I don't want to have anything to do with them. It's really annoying, but I just can't change. When I think of the excitement, I can't help but go over to see it."
Just in time, the cake she ordered was ready. Shen Baichuan stood up to help bring it over, pushed it in front of her, and said, "So you are doing very well now. Cut off these bad people and bad things that are delaying your progress as soon as possible. You will live a better life than them in the future."
Chen Jin and Shen Baichuan stared at each other for a long time, and finally gave in.
But he said: "You can hold on for so long without blinking, you are amazing."
When Shen Baichuan looked helpless, Chen Jin picked up her small cake and moved over to clink plates with Shen Baichuan. She smiled with squinting eyes and said, "There are no drinks. Let's just leave it at that for now. Let's clink plates."
The first time someone touches the "cake". Okay, her weird and wild ideas.
Shen Baichuan cooperated by holding up his plate with one hand and holding down the big orange that wanted to wave its claws over with the other hand.
I was feeling a little depressed just now, but after taking a bite of the cake, what was this depression? Chen Jin praised repeatedly: "I always feel that today's cake is better than the ones I bought before."
"Hmm? Really? I didn't taste it." Shen Baichuan tried another bite and said, "Maybe it's because your flavor tastes better."
Chen Jin only felt a heat in his chest that wanted to burst out, and wanted to ask him: "Maybe it could be because of people?"
But she felt that saying it so abruptly would seem a bit... indescribable. She subconsciously felt that it was not the best time yet.
Hey, she just looks, she doesn't say anything.
My heart felt like bubbles were popping out and I was laughing secretly. When Shen Baichuan discovered that she was laughing secretly, she asked him seriously, "What's wrong? Do you have something to ask me?"
"It's okay. I just feel that you are very happy now, and I am a little curious." How can a person's emotions come and go so quickly? It must be something particularly worthy of joy.
"It's OK." Chen Jin suddenly sighed, "I found that it's easier to think positively after I vent my anger."
I didn't vent my anger on Li Xingyi or go to Lao Liu's house to scold him. I always felt a sense of resentment in my heart, which was quite annoying. Now that I’ve let out my anger, my mind is filled with one sentence: Why can’t I think anymore? If you want, just do it! What are you afraid of? We have money and a mouth, why should we suffer? It is impossible to suffer.
"Oh, yes. I didn't see you in the school cafeteria this week. Is your house busy lately?" Chen Jin's eyes were full of: Tell me now so that I can be happy.
"It's very lively." Shen Baichuan couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth when he thought of certain scenes. "I went to the old house after class every day a few days ago, all because of family matters. My grandfather got sick from anger, my father's youngest son also came from Hong Kong this time, and there were other people... It was really lively. My cousin beat my cousin, specifically on the face."
Chen Jin's eyes lit up. "I'm familiar with this. There was a fight at my grandfather's house this morning. Those people fought and slapped each other one or two times at a time. It was quite scary."
Second aunt’s grip was too strong, and Jiang Zijun’s face was swollen, similar to the way Liu Shisheng was beaten by Fat Aunt at the last meeting in Qiaoxi Village.
"It seems that no matter whether you are rich or poor, or whether you have a lot of money or a little, fighting over property is almost the same." After sighing, Chen Jin urged Chen Baichuan to continue, "And then?"
"After the fight, they became siblings again the next day." Shen Baichuan shrugged and said, "Even though they were in a mess internally, it didn't affect their unity against the outside world. My third uncle's cousin and the little son born to my father are all the ones they want to deal with."
"Oh, so they are now fighting each other, and you are the one who benefits, right?" Chen Jin praised: "That's amazing, you are worthy of being Teacher Shen." He is also a black-hearted person.
Shen Baichuan looked at her with a smile, “Are you thinking of saying bad things about me again? Saying that I have a black heart?”
His image in Chen Jin's eyes is now shattered beyond repair. She saw it with her own eyes and heard it with her own ears, so there was no room for excuses. Then you have no choice but to accept it all.
"Haha, that's not true." Chen Jin said sincerely, "I really don't think so."
Shen Baichuan smiled but said nothing, it would be strange if she didn’t think so.
It was a rare good time, and the content of the chat covered a wide range of topics. Shen Baichuan was still talking to her about the arrangements for the second half of the semester, when Chen Jin suddenly thought of where to go for summer vacation, and then Shen Baichuan followed up...
The big orange cat sat on a small table with a piece of white paper on it, looking at the people outside through the glass window. If it weren't for its little tail shaking from time to time, one would really think it was a stuffed toy on the table.
I stayed in the cake shop until six in the evening, then drove across Guxi Road and went to the seafood restaurant on Tai'an Road.
"We've been waiting for you two. Your friends just arrived not long ago and have moved to the seats upstairs." Nie Rong invited everyone upstairs. This time they finally got a good seat, which was on the second floor. There were not as many tables upstairs as downstairs, and it was next to the window.
Naturally, Chen Jin had to sit next to Yang Qian, and he gave each other a look as soon as they met.
Only after arriving did she realize that Nie Rong's words were a little exaggerated. Except for one girl whom she didn't know, the others were all people she had met when she had dinner with Ling Yun last time. Then the remaining girl who I met for the first time must be Shang Jing.
Shang Jing has a baby face and is very cute.
Nie Rong felt that he had the best relationship with Chen Jin, so he introduced Chen Jin and Shang Jing to each other. As for the others, Zhuo Jiyu and Yang Qian arrived earlier and got to know everyone they needed to know. Shen Baichuan was not very familiar with the others, but he got along well with Wei Zhenhua.
To be honest, if Shen Baichuan hadn't taken the initiative to ask Zhuo Jiyu to come out together, she would have doubted whether the two of them were really familiar with each other? Looks like an unknown stranger.
Last time she organized the party, she just focused on eating. This time it was other people who organized the party, and she was quite reserved at first. Later... seeing everyone eating so heartily, she felt relieved and started eating directly.
Xie Ning ate everything bought from outside. Nie Rong said he couldn't eat seafood and didn't need to bother him.
If you can’t eat seafood, why do you still want to come to a seafood restaurant? Chen Jin couldn't understand it.
However, after Xie Ning brought the topic back to her several times during the conversation and asked if Ling Yun had contacted her... Chen Jin began to understand a little.
Fortunately, Yang Qian muttered beside him: "Why does he keep asking you about Ling Yun? Ling Yun is your pilot friend, right? They know each other too?"
Otherwise, Chen Jin would not have noticed Xie Ning's secret thoughts.
Chen Jin told the truth: "We have contacted each other twice." But he didn't say what they talked about specifically.
Nie Rong spoke the most, which shows that a lot happened in Qiaoxi Village this afternoon.
"Ji Jie, you left early so I didn't know that several families had a fight in the afternoon. It was all because of the plan that the family chose. I roughly counted that the Liu family was almost evenly split between wanting money and wanting a house. I don't know how people with other surnames chose. Several families didn't want to demolish the house, and there was almost a fight in the village... Fortunately, I hid quickly, otherwise I would have been in trouble. A policeman was hit on the head and sent to the hospital, but he is fine. However, the police station also arrested a group of people..."
"Anyway, you were right not to be in the village this afternoon. These people are a little crazy, irrational. This kind of excitement is depressing to watch."
She guessed that nothing good would come out of the meeting of the Liu family in the village. As the contract was approaching tomorrow, it would be strange if no one caused trouble today. But I didn’t expect it to be so serious. Indeed, it was right not to stay in the village in the afternoon. I might as well have gotten a beauty treatment, eaten a piece of cake, chatted aimlessly, and spent half a day with interesting people and cats.
Chen Jin and Shang Jing had nothing to talk about, but Shang Jing and Yang Qian got along very well, and both were optimistic about the current film and television industry. When they went to the bathroom together, Chen Jin listened to what they were talking about along the way. They were all discussing which male celebrity had a better-looking face. They also said that some people would try to hook up with them. They had a lot of little thoughts, both overt and covert, and a lot of little tricks... It really broadened my horizons.
When she returned to the dinner table, she looked at Zhuo Jiyu with sympathy.
Shen Baichuan, Wei Zhenhua and Xiang Qian drank some wine and couldn't drive, so they had to take Chen Jin's car back. Chen Jin wanted to go back to Hanlin Garden, so Shen Baichuan had to follow him back to Hanlin Garden even though he couldn't drive.
Zhuo Jiyu stared at Shen Baichuan with a half-smile and said, "If you really want to go back to Jingshan, I can drive you there." He is pretending. Knowing that he drove here and drank, doesn't he just want to follow other people's cars? I have to find an excuse.
"......" Shen Baichuan regretted calling him. If he hadn't had to discuss some things with Zhuo Jiyu in person before going to Qiaoxi Village tomorrow, he would not have called him.
"Then you go and send her off. Chen Jin and I will go home and stay at her house for one night." Yang Qian said.
This time it was Zhuo Jiyu's turn to have a dark face, but Shen Baichuan smiled and said, "That's fine, I'm fine with anything, it depends on you two to discuss and decide."
Chen Jin rolled his eyes to the sky. Do the two of them have to pinch each other before they can talk properly? He greeted Wei Zhenhua and the others, walked towards his car, and urged, “Chen Baichuan, are you going?”
"Let's go. You two should go back to your own homes." After joking, Shen Baichuan waved the file bag in his hand and said to Zhuo Jiyu seriously: "I'll contact you when it's done."
On the way back to Hanlin Garden, Chen Jin suddenly remembered that last time she scolded Li Xingyi, she called her friends out for dinner. This time, after she scolded the people in Lao Liu's family, her friends called her out for dinner.
I don’t know if I will have the chance to “go out for dinner” next time.
After thinking about the people and things around her now, it seems that nothing is worth her "full firepower".
After returning to Hanlinyuan, the car was not driven to the parking lot but parked directly in the open space downstairs. Chen Jin grabbed Daju’s paw and waved to Shen Baichuan, “See you downstairs tomorrow morning.”
Compared to the last meeting, my uncle and his friends were not that excited this time when they went to sign the contract. Her uncle called her to remind her to bring her ID and said he would arrive later.
Shen Baichuan seemed to have not slept well. He said something to her and fell asleep after getting in the car. He was woken up by Chen Jin halfway and bought breakfast on the roadside. After eating, I closed my eyes and continued to sleep.
Having just become famous in Qiaoxi Village yesterday morning, Chen Jin came again today. As soon as his car drove into Qiaoxi Village, he attracted a lot of attention.
It seemed as if she was on guard against her coming to the village to cause trouble.
Boring, is she the kind of person who just stirs up trouble every day?
She thought her second and third uncles would arrive earlier than her, but she was actually the first one to arrive.
There is no need to walk from one end of the village to watch the fun today, as everyone is gathered at the ancestral hall.
The people in Old Liu's family were unusually unenthusiastic. She only saw Old Man Liu coming over, and hadn't seen any other members of Old Liu's family for the time being. Old man Liu nodded at her, but Chen Jin rolled her eyes and turned away. I've already said I don't want to have anything to do with them, but you're still greeting me like a ghost.
You can open a dyeing factory with three points of color. Do you want to take advantage of her? If he gets half a foot in, his legs will be broken.
Seeing Shen Baichuan yawn again, Chen Jin said, "Let's find a stool to sit and wait." After that, he went to the back row and moved two empty plastic stools over.
The smile on the man's face who had just come back from talking to someone gradually disappeared. He looked around in confusion, but couldn't find his stool, which had been there just now.
Facing the frank yet puzzled looks of Chen Jin and Shen Baichuan, they both seemed to be asking with concern: What's wrong? Need help?
help? never mind. She caused trouble yesterday and today she is going crazy in the village with a loud speaker. He should not mess with her today. Nothing is more important than signing the contract smoothly.
The man's eyes stayed on the red plastic stool under their buttocks for two seconds, then he pursed his lips, thinking that someone else might have taken his plastic stool. He went to the small house next to the ancestral hall and found two plastic stools, then wiped the dust off the stools with the corner of his clothes.
This old house is very dusty. After a few days, the things in the house will be covered with a layer of dust.
Chen Jin and Shen Baichuan looked at each other and could see a hint of guilt in each other's eyes.
"Hey, Chen Jin, there was a big commotion at your grandfather's house yesterday." When Liu Yang saw Chen Jin, he moved his seat to the back row. Although he was scolded by his grandfather, he didn't listen and insisted on moving to the back. Anyway, it was his father who was in charge of signing the documents at home, so his grandfather was only showing off his power through words.
Chen Jin glanced at him and said, "Isn't your house lively enough? Was that old man your grandfather?"
"You know?"
"I know. He is just making a fuss about marrying a concubine. I heard someone say that before. What about now? Has he really married one? Who is in charge in your family? It can't be him, right? If your step-grandmother brings some uncles and cousins over to you, your family will be lively enough."
Shen Baichuan's sleepiness had mostly disappeared, and he looked up at Liu Yang, waiting for Liu Yang to reveal the answer.
“…” Liu Yang sighed. Good news doesn’t travel far, but bad news travels far and wide. "What he wants is one thing, but my father is the head of the family, and it's not the old man's turn to make the decision."
Liu Yang chuckled complacently and said, "When your village was demolished, wasn't there a family that caused a big fuss because of who the head of the household was? My dad heard about it and came back to coax my grandfather into separating the households, and he transferred the homestead and the house to his name. Otherwise, hmph."
"Oh, then your dad is quite smart. He learned how to make store signs from others, and he also divided the households to control the products. He is a smart man. Tsk, what's with that expression on your face? I sincerely praise your dad for being smart, and I don't mean to say anything bad about him."
What bad thing can be said about this? Are you saying that Liu Yang's father is bald and cunning? Judging from the results, people have to be cunning, otherwise they will be the ones who suffer. Anyway, whoever has the thing knows what is good about it.
"Since you said that, I will believe that you are really praising my dad."
"Believe it or not." Chen Jin took a deep breath and said, "Move to the side and block the wind from the fan in front."
Old man Liu was chatting with someone in the front row with a smile on his face. Chen Jin and Shen Baichuan were in the back row, listening to a lot of news, such as how so-and-so's family was doing and what happened to so-and-so's family.
Liu Yang realized it belatedly and said, "Everyone likes to gather in the back row to chat, right?"
Chen Jin and Shen Baichuan looked at him like a fool, "Don't you think the back row is cooler than the front?"
"It's cooler. There are two big fans here...Oh, so everyone is gathering here to stay cool."
"What else? Are you here for me?" Chen Jin joked, "Your family's cunning is all your father's."
She wanted to say brain, but gave up.
"Liu held a meeting yesterday. What was the result of the village meeting? Did those households agree to sign?"
Liu Yang curled his lips, "You are so stubborn. You insist on not agreeing. The only way is to give each of their families one million per head."
"...Are they daydreaming too much?" If this plan were really offered, many people would definitely rush for it. For example, for Old Man Liu's family, if the fee was one million per person, wouldn't that be 20 million? Just for that little house, 20 million? The developer should just turn around and leave.
"So, can we sign it today? They are just dragging their feet."
Liu Yang: "I don't know. Many people think so. So I am not very enthusiastic about coming to the meeting today."
Chen Jin couldn't help but said, "I'm not saying anything bad about your village, but this attitude is really not acceptable."
"Really? It's not very good. Well, I'm not kidding you. Someone like me who honestly runs the store is considered diligent in the village."
Chen Jin: It’s too shameful to watch.
Shen Baichuan advised her not to think too much, "It's not a big deal if only a few households disagree. More than 90% of the people agree, and for the rest, we can just bypass them. When they come to their senses and want to demolish the house, I'm afraid the compensation price won't be the current one."
“When a pie falls from the sky, someone always complains that the pie is not big enough.”
They had been sitting here for half an hour before the other members of Old Liu's family finally arrived. Seeing Chen Jin sitting in the back row, everyone pretended not to see him and went straight to the front seats. More people took a quick look and decided to sit in the back. This time it was a signing, sitting in the front and back was the same, but there were two big fans in the back.
My uncle and his friends were almost the last to arrive.
"When we got here, there was a factory on fire in the suburbs. There were people everywhere, blocking a section of the road." Mainly because the fire truck was working there, they were not in a hurry, so they just waited patiently.
"I don't know if anyone was injured. Some factories don't care about production safety. If someone dies..."
My uncle sighed. So what if someone dies sometimes? Didn’t he see him less often when he went out to work? For those who work in construction projects or run factories, if safety protection measures are not in place, human life is more fragile than glass. If you encounter a black-hearted person, that person's life will only be worth a few thousand dollars, and it may not even reach the hands of the family. If you meet a better one, at most you can get tens of thousands...
"Oh, let's not talk about it. Today is a good day." My uncle raised his belt and muttered, "There are so many people, why don't you find a few more fans?"
He took the stool that was handed to him and took it directly. When he looked up, he found that it was Shen Baichuan who gave him the stool. I would like to add a thank you.
My uncle and his friends would occasionally glance at Chen Jin and Shen Baichuan in front of them. They would never believe that nothing happened.
Chen Jin heard her uncle calling her and turned around, "Ah? Uncle, what's the matter?"
"It's okay, go home for dinner tonight." The uncle winked at her and said, "Will you bring your friends back for dinner?"
Shen Baichuan's back gradually straightened, his ears stood up, his eyes still looking forward, actually without a focus, waiting for Chen Jin's reply. He was just playing the clapping and clapping game with the big orange guy, and now he was standing still and being clapped by the big orange guy.
Chen Jin scratched his face and said, "Let's talk about it later."
There is no need to rush, taking it home to eat has a different meaning. Today is the most important signing!
"Okay, it's up to you. If you want to bring friends home for dinner some other day, just let me know in advance."
Although there was no follow-up, Shen Baichuan was already very happy. Just pinch the big orange's two claws. He was in a good mood and didn't bother with it.
Thinking of another thing, Chen Jin asked his second uncle if he had thought about it.
Under the new plan, only the household head can sign the contract, the compensation will only be paid into the bank account under the household head's name, and the compensation house can only be registered under the household head's name. Therefore, although Chen Jin's house belongs to five families in total, including her, her three uncles and her aunt, they can only ask for one compensation method, and they must reach a consensus internally.
My eldest uncle and third uncle have made it clear that they want a house, and they think this is a good deal.
My second uncle is in a dilemma now. It is indeed more cost-effective to buy a house. After all, his family can get 15 houses of 70 square meters this way. As for the compensation, it is about one million.
My second uncle and aunt thought about paying back the money they borrowed from my eldest uncle and aunt. The remaining money, plus their family savings, would barely be enough to buy a house in Rose Garden and send Chen Jia abroad for exchange studies. If that was not enough, they could also put the company house they bought up for sale. Not to mention people outside, just asking around in the compound would yield results, and there would be people who would want to buy their house.
Chen Jin was not in a hurry and let her second uncle think about it first. She said, "How about this, if you don't want the house, then this house will be mine. I will give it to you according to the actual compensation for the building."
The compensation for the homestead, plus some miscellaneous money, and the dividends she received from the travel agency and the Xicheng Home Project, totaled one million.
Let’s put the piece of land in the suburbs of Dongcheng District aside for now and think about it carefully later.
The eldest uncle chuckled and said, "You and I are thinking the same thing. I thought, if you don't want it, then I will." Then he patted the second uncle on the shoulder and said, "Think about it again. You don't have to rush to pay back the money you lent us. Don't worry about it. Wait until Jiajia finishes her studies. Are you afraid that you can't pay it back as soon as possible? Besides, you still have the dividends from the project, so it won't take a few years."
As for buying the house in Rose Garden, my uncle didn't persuade me again, as he had already persuaded me before.
It is good for brothers to live close to each other, but there is no need for them to live in the same community. If they want to move around, it only takes two hours to drive across the east and west city. Can they become distant because of this distance?
If he were to tell it, the second son shouldn't be thinking about buying the house in Rose Garden at this time. It looks good but is not practical, and it's far from their workplace. Wouldn't that mean they could just stay here for two days on the weekend and then have to move back to the company house during the week?
The couple both work in the same unit and know nothing about business, so it is not easy for them to start a small business. It would be better to just rent out the house and increase your income, which is safer.
"Don't worry. It will take two or three years to get a house. Uncle, aunt, you can take your time to think about it. However, the money I have is barely enough. If you have the money, you can settle it with me before the summer vacation. How about it?"
"Okay." The second uncle nodded and said with a smile, "Jia Jia said that if they really can't choose, they might as well just draw lots."
Chen Jin laughed and said this was a good idea. He also asked about Chen Jia's recent situation, "Do I need to apply for a visa in advance?"
"Yes, the neighbors in the compound have experience and are now in the process of doing it. A year of exchange study abroad may delay her graduation thesis. Now she has to be busy with everything."
It can be seen that the second uncle and second aunt are very supportive of Chen Jia's study abroad exchange, and they have asked a lot of questions about him.
The person sitting in the back row listened to what you said for a while, then leaned over to listen with interest, smiled shyly, and said, "I want to hear you talk about sending your children to study abroad. I want to listen, too. My son is also in college, and I heard that it is best for college students to go abroad after graduation. Maybe my son will also go abroad in the future. Haha."
“Studying abroad has its pros and cons. If your family can support it, then the child can go if he wants to. But if he goes abroad just to gain a reputation, it’s better not to go.” My second uncle now seemed like an expert in study abroad consulting, and he talked about studying abroad to the person who turned to talk to him.
Something like it's unsafe for people in foreign countries to carry guns, the food and drink are not as good as in our own country, some students go abroad and just mess around instead of studying hard... Those people were stunned when they heard this.
Chen Jin whispered to Shen Baichuan: "My sister must have been warned many times by my second uncle at home."
Suddenly realizing something, Chen Jin and Shen Baichuan looked up almost at the same time.
She really didn't understand Liu Yibei. Where did all those tears come from? I cried in front of her every time. Still feeling aggrieved?
Chen Jin stared at her for a while, his brows furrowed tighter and tighter, and said, "Didn't I tell your family not to mess with me? Cry, cry, cry. You cry every time I see you. It's so unlucky!"
I really want to punch her back her tears.
Liu Yibei glared at her fiercely and wanted to say something, but Jiang Zijun came over and pulled him away.
It was such a headache. Jiang Zijun patted Liu Yibei's arm heavily and warned him in a low voice: "What day is today? Hold back your tears! I told you not to get close to him, don't get close to him. Do you think the house is not noisy enough?"
The house was already a mess yesterday. Now the four members of the family were unable to speak a word to their brothers and sisters or the old man. The key point is that the old man said before that it would be a good idea to send the children to study abroad, but now, their family can only get a maximum of 200,000!
The old man must have some savings, and they wanted him to take some out, but not only did he refuse, he also advised them to let their children stay in the country to continue their studies. He must have felt that the cost of going abroad was too high and he was not willing to support the expense.
Haha, when he was thinking about asking Chen Jin to pay for it, he didn’t think about whether the fee would be expensive or not! Chen Jin was right, everyone in this family, old, big or young, are selfish! They are all jealous of their family's well-being and don't want their children, one from the south and one from the north, to study abroad, so that they will be much better than them in the future!
The people around were silent for a moment. Someone quietly looked at Liu Yibei and then at Chen Jin. Someone murmured quietly: "The two sisters don't look alike at all."
Fortunately, they were far away and the whirring sound of the fan distracted them, so this sentence did not reach Chen Jin. The person next to him pulled him and glared at him, "I think you want her to use a loud speaker to scold you. You said we are sisters, and if she hears it, she will tear you apart. Don't meddle in other people's affairs, especially that family. It's really not a good look to cry on such a beautiful day."
"Who said it wasn't? This is a good life for our Qiaoxi Village! So, do you want money or a house?"
"Of course you have to pay for it! With this money, why don't I live in a building in the city? What good can there be in a remote village? Your family also pays for it, right?"
"Stop talking! My old man is determined to get a house, and my parents also want a house. It's not my turn to decide. In my opinion, it's better to get money. Hey, Brother Biao said he will come and pick us up tonight to go to the city to play, do you want to go?"
Another head came up from behind and asked curiously, "Which Brother Biao? The Brother Biao who opened a chess and card room in the village before?"
"Yeah, who else is there, Brother Biao? Are you going?"
"Let's wait and see. Can we sign the contract today? Do we still need to measure the house or something?"
"It should be measured. Shush, stop arguing. The leader is here. Let's hear what he has to say."
After Director Jiang of the Demolition Office and the developer's representative finished speaking, the village chief took the microphone with a smile and arranged for people to line up nearby to sign.
This signature does not mean directly signing a compensation agreement, but rather accepting the plan provided by others. You go there to leave your information, and they will evaluate each family one by one in order.
In order to resolve the issue earlier today, Chen Jin waited nearby in advance. As soon as the village chief said to line up, he was the first to step forward. Then he grinned at the people from the demolition office.
Hehe, you never thought that we would meet again!
Director Jiang also smiled and said, "We'll start measuring this afternoon, and we'll measure yours first."
