Stir up the fire
Chen Jin said he wanted to invite Nie Rong to dinner, but he couldn't find an opportunity.
Nie Rong said: "It's too far to travel from home every day. I have rented a house in the village. If Qiaoxi Village was not to be demolished, I would have wanted to open a branch law firm here."
It can be seen that Nie Rong was really busy. As soon as the fried noodles came, he ate them in big mouthfuls. Only when he was half full did he say that he had not been able to eat on time in the past few days. Compared to the first time they met, Nie Rong is now dressed in a suit and looks unapproachable, but he is actually more down-to-earth. When he talks to her about the lively things in the village, he is almost no different from a villager.
Chen Jin said enviously, "It seems that it is more lively at night, but I don't live here, so I can't see it."
There are so many problems just after deciding to freeze the household registration. When the people from the demolition office and the developer come, won’t these people make a big fuss? To be honest, she always felt that Qiaoxi Village was holding its breath, and one day this breath would explode with a bang. Don't let it end up hurting others and not benefiting yourself. The demolition can be delayed for two or three years, which will be fun.
After dinner, Nie Rong had to go back to the consultation center and had no time to chat with Chen Jin. "When we're done with this, let's all go out for dinner together. Let's just bring our group from last time, plus one or two friends... You can bring your friends, like Mr. Shen."
Nie Rong grinned, "I heard that Mr. Shen has some connections with the Cheng Group. Wei Zhenhua has been losing all his hair recently because of the investment promotion. Maybe there will be some gains. Can you help me?"
"I'm not sure. I'll ask him. If he's interested, I'll ask him to join us." Chen Jinduo asked, "For a company like this that can attract investment, will there be any policy preference from the higher-ups?"
It just so happens that Shen Baichuan wants to come here to buy land and build a company building? He has a few friends with him, so maybe this area can become large in the future. If we buy land, the higher-ups should be able to help negotiate with the villagers, right?
"Usually there are some, such as taxes." Nie Rong was in a hurry and could only hurriedly say: "Sister Jin, I'm counting on you for this matter. If you can do it, I'll let Wei Zhenhua call you sister too. I have an appointment with a client, so I'm leaving now."
Chen Jin curled his lips, snorted, and said to himself: "Why are you calling me sister? You make me look older than I am."
She went back to the yard, said hello to her cousin Meng Chong, and then drove out. Cousin Meng Chong chased after her but failed to stop her. He wanted to ask her what her relationship with Teacher Shen was, but he failed to ask.
When Chen Jin was driving out, he inadvertently glanced at the rearview mirror and saw a big red billboard - Ruyi Supermarket. It was flashing in broad daylight. It is indeed very conspicuous.
No wonder Liu Yang's father chose a name for the convenience store that would arouse people's curiosity at first glance.
Chen Jin drove his car to the gate of Old Man Liu's house. There were already three motorcycles parked in the open space outside. It was quite lively in there, but no one was arguing, and it sounded like the atmosphere was pretty good.
She carried the cat in her arms. The people who had caused trouble had already left, and the only people in the house were from Old Liu's family.
The three aunts were here this morning, and now their children are here too. Even Liu Shisheng's family of four rushed back.
Today is Thursday, which is not a day off, and it’s not easy for all these people to get together.
"Are you here? Have you eaten? If not, heat up the food in the pot and have some." Old man Liu now likes Chen Jin much more. Although she came to watch the fun, at least she had a clear mind and knew to remind him. Fortunately, she didn't sign the guarantee letter.
The people in the room were also looking at Chen Jin. Unlike before, when those people unanimously disliked Chen Jin, it was different now. They were not competing with Chen Jin, but with their own brothers and sisters with the surname Liu. Chen Jin had his own property, so there was no need to compete with them. In this comparison, Chen Jin seems less annoying than before.
Feeling the change in these people's attitudes, Chen Jin quickly figured out the connection. I have to say, these people are really realistic. Look, two years ago they were still on guard against her trying to grab a share, and before this year they were jealous and disliked her, but now there has been a big change. On the contrary, Liu Yinan and Liu Yibei seemed to be excluded by their brothers and sisters.
"I've eaten. I came to take a look." Seeing that there was about to be a quarrel in the house, she felt relieved. However, she still wanted to know how the family would divide the property.
With this in mind, Chen Jin asked directly, "I heard that you got your property notarized? So you don't divide the property anymore? How do you divide it?"
Except for Old Man Liu, Old Lady Liu and Liu Shisheng's family of four, everyone else looked at Chen Jin with gratitude: It's a good thing someone asked for this. Chen Jin's interests do not conflict with theirs, so it's just right for him to bring this up.
The kindness that Old Man Liu had just shown disappeared without a trace, and he knew that there must be something bad going on when Chen Jin came. He glared at Chen Jin, and was glared back by the cat that Chen Jin was holding, as if it would pounce on him and scratch him at any time.
snort! My cat is also such a bad person!
However, half a month has passed since the news of the household registration freeze was confirmed. But there was no sign of the next step from above. Except for the excitement in the first two or three days, things gradually calmed down.
The family had been in turmoil several times because of his notarization of the property. If he had been unable to make it back in time, the fourth child's family should have returned on the day he completed the notarization, and they would not have waited until today to return with the two children.
The division must be made, but it is too early to say anything now. We have to wait until the demolition is confirmed and there is a compensation plan. What's the matter with him writing a bad check now?
"I told you that you will get a lot. If anyone asks about it now, you don't have to ask when we distribute things later."
Chen Jin spread his hands and said, "I don't plan to take your things, so tell me how to divide them."
"......If you don't plan to take it, then you don't need to know." Old man Liu huffed twice in anger. Is she the only one who talks too much? "What's up with that pretty boy you brought today? You've been on guard against this and that all day long. Don't let yourself end up spending all your money on other men."
"If your family can't do anything decent, don't drag me into it and say it's not decent. How can my friend be called a gigolo? He studied abroad and is a teacher in our school. Even if he is a gigolo, he is a gigolo with morals and backbone."
Chen Jin curled his lips, looked at Liu Shisheng's family of four sitting nearby, and chuckled, "I'm happy to spend my money on men outside." In short, it must not be spent on men from the Liu family.
The second cousin's wife tugged at the corner of her aunt's clothes and winked at Chen Jin. The eldest aunt smiled and said, "Xiao Jin, I was thinking of telling you last time, there is a young man I know, he is a nice guy..."
"If he's a good guy, divorce your husband and marry him. If you really feel you're not good enough for him, ask your daughter-in-law to divorce your son and marry him. If that doesn't work, ask your daughter to divorce her husband and marry him. The house will be demolished anyway, so you can talk to him about giving him a few hundred thousand yuan in compensation, and the young man will surely come to propose marriage with drums and gongs. What do you think? Isn't this a good idea?"
The people of Old Liu’s family: “…”
Just know it, they know it!
Seeing that the expression on the aunt's face was about to collapse, Chen Jin said, "I think you are old and your eyes and brain are not working well. You want to stuff the garbage you see on the road into my hands. Who are you looking down on? Do you think I am a nouveau riche with bad eyesight? I am rich, I am not starving and indiscriminate, okay?"
"I don't even want to say anything to you. You're old enough to have one foot in the ground, but you still don't know what's going on. You come here to pretend to be an elder? It was only Qingming Festival yesterday. Aren't you really afraid that my mom will come to chat with you at night?"
As soon as Chen Jin finished speaking, a gust of cool wind blew in from outside the door.
Chen Jin rubbed his arms. He had taken off his thin coat during lunch and it was a bit cold now. She also said: "It's a bit cold today... What's with your expressions? It's broad daylight, are you afraid of ghosts?"
The people of Old Liu’s family: “…”
When Chen Jin was excited and wanted to speak, she talked very quickly. They wanted to speak, but they couldn't get a word in. They could only listen to her chatter. When someone wanted to interrupt, Chen Jin just gave them a look: Let me finish first!
Forget it, forget it. Why must I provoke this living Buddha? Everyone should just take care of their own business, so don't worry about whether she has a boyfriend or not.
The uncle pulled the aunt aside and whispered, "She has already done a notarization of her property. What good will it do for you to introduce her to someone? You'll just be scolded for nothing."
The aunt felt very aggrieved. It was true that she wanted to introduce someone to Chen Jin, but before she could even finish her words, Chen Jin scolded her. How dare she continue talking? !
Old man Liu came out to smooth things over, "Your aunt didn't mean anything else, she just cares about..."
"Don't worry about me all the time. Hey, why don't I see Liu Yiwu and his wife? Could he have run away with his wife?"
The third aunt still had a gloomy face and said angrily: "That's really harsh. What's the point of running away? He's going to help his wife pack up and move in!"
"Oh." Chen Jin glanced at everyone in the room casually, which made their hearts skip a beat and they all avoided looking at her. Doesn't she want to care about everyone in this family?
When Chen Jin glanced at Third Aunt, he blinked and asked, "Cousin Meiying asked me to borrow money a few days ago. She said she was cheated in business. She couldn't tell me how she was cheated. Was she cheated? Oh, don't tell me. I don't want to know. Third Aunt, tell her not to call me. I won't lend you money. Everyone knows that I don't have any savings. And she asked for 100,000 yuan. I don't have 100,000 yuan, but I have a lot of money in Tiandi Bank."
The third aunt frowned and stared at Chen Jin suspiciously, "Did she really tell you that?"
"Even Pearl is not so sincere. She is so bold to ask, one hundred thousand yuan. One hundred thousand can buy a small shop. Can her clothing stall make a business of one hundred thousand yuan?" Chen Jin asked back, "Could it be that you, Third Aunt, instructed her to ask this? Let me lend you the money for the sake of the few words we used to have?"
After Chen Jin finished speaking, he took this guess seriously and chuckled, saying, "No wonder. I was wondering how Cousin Meiying got the courage to ask for 100,000 yuan."
Old Man Liu stared at Auntie San with a serious look, "What's going on with you? Meiying has been busy at home lately and has no time to come home?"
The third aunt felt that she was wronged. "This damn girl didn't come home after the New Year. I couldn't find her. I thought she went to find Chen Jin..."
"Hey, don't talk nonsense. I live near the school every day. My neighbors all know that there is only me and my cat at home. Every day, I go to work and no one comes to visit me. Third aunt, you are not trying to force cousin Meiying to come to my house, right? What's the name? Find me a babysitter or someone to talk to? Then you can find an excuse to come to my house, right?"
"That's not true!" The third aunt was so angry that she said directly, "The house is going to be demolished, there's no need for us to worry about your things!"
"Oh, that's better. Don't ever covet my things." Chen Jin decided to stop while she was ahead. When Third Aunt found out that she couldn't find Lan Meiying, even if she found her here, she would still have an excuse to scold her away.
snort! No one can climb up this big tree like her!
Old man Liu felt helpless. He rubbed his brows and looked at Chen Jin who was sitting on the single sofa next to him. She could quarrel with full energy even when she was sitting. Who in this family could quarrel better than her? !
"Can't you just say what you have to say? You're like a hedgehog."
"I talk to people nicely, but there are always people who want to test my bottom line. If I don't accept your toast, I will drink the wine for punishment." Chen Jin asked again: "You haven't said it yet, how do you divide your family's property?"
The topic is brought back again. She won't give up until she gets everything clear today, right?
Old man Liu was so angry that his head was about to smoke.
He saw through Chen Jin's intention. Wasn't he just trying to know how much her father would get?
According to him, he thinks the fourth child is the most promising one. The two twins, one in the south and one in the north, are also very promising compared to other grandchildren. Although he still values the grandchildren who grew up in his presence, in order for the twins to study abroad, he will definitely give more money privately.
He gave more financial support to the fourth brother's family, so it was certain that Chen Jin disliked him, but that was all. When had Chen Jin ever disliked him? He doesn't care about minor quarrels. However, it is really not Chen Jin's turn to interfere in the important matters at home.
"After the demolition, naturally everyone will get a share." Old man Liu said vaguely. The compensation for the demolition has not yet been received, and the more compensation there is, the more shares you will get. If you don’t lose much, you’ll get less.
"It depends on your mood at that time." Chen Jin concluded.
This is the essence of the truth. I didn't think there was anything wrong with it at first, but after Chen Jin said it, it was as if he was reminding everyone else in the family: If you don't curry favor with the old man, you will get nothing.
He knew that Chen Jin was here to add fuel to the fire!
Chen Jin yawned. He had been out for quite some time and was getting a little bored of watching the fun. He felt it was no longer interesting. Just say that I have to go home, and before leaving I'll drop a bomb on their house.
"My friend said that freezing the household registration is freezing the household registration. Sometimes, it is normal to wait for one or two years until the demolition is confirmed. If you are in a hurry to use the money, such as getting married or going abroad, then you will have to wait."
The faces of the people in Old Liu’s family changed. Is this really happening?
Liu Yibei was the first to get angry. "You are lying! What friend? You made that up, right? How can you have such a friend?"
After the family of four arrived, they sat aside quietly without saying a word, because during this period of time they had seen clearly the true faces of their family members. They used to say how good their relationship was, but now that the house is to be demolished, they say that their household registration is not at home, and that the house has been demolished and it has nothing to do with them. Except for grandpa and grandma, no one in the family welcomed them back at all. Chen Jin is more like a family member than they are now.
Old man Liu also stared at Chen Jin. He was thinking in his heart how much of what Chen Jin said was true and how much was false. Chen Jin often talks nonsense. If she speaks seriously, it is hard to tell whether she is telling the truth or a lie.
After yawning again, Chen Jin knew it was time for him to leave. He went to the beauty salon to do a project and take a nap, and also took Daju out to broaden his horizons.
"Believe it or not, why didn't I rush back before? Of course, it's because I know that freezing my account is nothing now."
Old man Liu thought about it and realized that it was true. Chen Jin always seemed to know the news in advance. He didn't believe that Chen Jin knew any friends who knew the truth. However, Chen Jin does not have such a friend, but Chen Jin’s uncle does!
"No, tell me again, what did your friend say?"
"I don't have time to talk about it. Let's talk about it next time we come." Chen Jin rubbed Daju's belly and said, "Run, run."
Chen Jin started the car and ran away without caring whether anyone was catching up with him or not. When passing by the village entrance, the sign that read "No share for littering, no share for demolition" was put up again. There is still so much trash around the sign.
"Dad, what Chen Jin said, can't be true?" Liu Shisheng was the first one who couldn't sit still and asked the first question.
Liu Yibei said dissatisfiedly: "Dad, Grandpa, don't listen to her, she must be talking nonsense, how could she know the news of the demolition?"
It must be that Chen Jin couldn't bear to see her and her brother getting along so he brought up this matter at this time! Originally, my parents were planning to enroll them all in overseas study institutions, which would be a considerable expense. However, this was based on the premise that their hometown would be demolished, so her family was willing to sign up for both her and her brother. But if the demolition is delayed for a year or two, my parents will definitely not consider paying for it.
Old Liu was not convinced. He felt that Chen Jin must know some news.
Because of the news that Chen Jin dropped before he left, the people in Old Liu's family couldn't sit still anymore.
But Chen Jin remained very calm. He drove all the way from Qiaoxi Village to Zhongshan Road in Dongcheng District. He rolled down the car window and the wind blew away all his sleepiness. He was so happy that he wanted to install a microphone in the car and sing loudly while driving.
Of course, she only dared to think wildly in her mind. If she really did that, she was afraid that someone would accidentally take a picture of her and it would be on the news in Rong City tomorrow... After all, the Transportation Bureau should also be afraid that everyone driving on the road would go so crazy.
The big orange one was leaning leisurely against the back of the chair, with one paw resting on the little doll's head. This is the little doll she put in the car. It has followed her on several trips and now has become its travel companion.
"Wow! You brought your cat with you?"
Chen Jin came to the beauty salon as if it was his own shop, and greeted everyone as soon as he arrived. I safely handed the big orange dog over to the front desk staff, and then went in to sleep.
She woke up and went out to look for Daju, but it was still angry and hit her hard with its claws. Chen Jin hit back, "I asked you, but you wanted to go with him. Now you blame me?"
Who isn’t an ancestor? If it dares to hit her, she will hit back.
She drove directly back to the Rose Garden in the afternoon and made an appointment with Aunt Zhou to have dinner at her house. This time it wasn't just Aunt Chen Wu and Aunt Ke Xin who came. My eldest aunt and my third aunt came out for a stroll after dinner and also came to join in the fun. Later, for some reason, the old branch secretary's wife, Zhao Dahua, also came. Uncle Wenming insisted on staying at home to clean and not going downstairs...
"When I went there, that store..." Chen Jin was talking, and there was an accompaniment beside him - the crackling sound of cracking melon seeds.
The "Qiaodong Village Women's Sharing Session" ended successfully. Everyone was very satisfied with the session. Aunt Zhou commented: "You and Yongan are the best at talking." Listening to other people gossip is not that interesting.
My third aunt is at a loss for words: Is this a great skill?
Fortunately, Chen Yongan went back to school today, otherwise, he would definitely have to follow his third sister to Qiaoxi Village. If he went, he wouldn't be able to finish the story in three days and three nights...
When she was about to go home, Daju deliberately hid himself, and she and Aunt Zhou looked for him but couldn't find him. Chen Jin snorted and stopped looking for her. He said goodbye to Aunt Zhou and walked out. Just as he reached the elevator, Big Orange jumped out like a rocket.
Humph! mock up! Do you still want to get angry with me and control me?
Chen Jin picked it up and said, "I've used this trick of yours so many times that it doesn't work. This is how my mother always punishes me."
The next morning, Chen Jin took Daju to the Sifang Travel Agency office.
Huang Hao rented a two-story residential building for a long time. When he called her before, he said it was a shabby yard, but now, this yard has nothing to do with shabby at all! The exterior walls are painted pink and green, and it faces the road, making it very eye-catching. Especially such a big sign - Sifang Travel Agency, each word has a different color.
The yard was spacious. Her car was parked in the front yard, and there were two tourist minibuses parked in the back yard.
Their makeshift team has completely upgraded its weapons.
Chen Jin came over to check the account book and received the dividend for the first quarter, 30,000 yuan. In order to set up this place, we spent some money and hired some people. They need to be trained first and have not started any production yet.
However, Chen Jin is already very satisfied. She has earned back all the money she invested, and the rest is extra profit. The money she owed to her third cousin was also paid off. She now had income from rental housing, a travel agency and a small supermarket, which was enough for her to live a carefree life. It’s the profit of the small supermarket. Without a smoking license, the profit must be much less than that of another small supermarket in the same community. Compared with her other income, it is almost negligible.
Now we are just waiting for the real estate projects in the suburbs of Xicheng District to be launched!
As for what Huang Hao said, in September, the investment shares will probably be readjusted again. If they want to expand the market, they will inevitably have to give up some profits, whether it is to find a backer or to recruit talents, and they will have to continue to make additional investments, and continue to develop tourist routes and recruit people... Let's talk about it then, she will definitely continue to make additional investments.
Huang Hao asked Chen Jin about the management class of Nanjing University Night School.
"My second brother took the test before and is studying for it now. I'll go ask him."
In the blink of an eye, I found that everyone around me is making progress!
Chen Jin also began to think that she should enroll in a class or find a teacher to supplement her knowledge. If the business continues to grow, she can't just rely on the conscience of others, she also needs to understand the ins and outs of management herself.
The third cousin was out leading a tour group and was not there, so Huang Hao took her to visit several offices here and then went back, directly back to the small Western-style building.
Professor Song's family is having a dinner party tomorrow, so she's going to see if anyone needs help.
