Ruan Xi held the receiver and waited for Director Liu to hang up first. When she heard a beep from the receiver, she slowly put down the receiver. After hanging up the phone, she was slightly stunned, with only one sentence in her mind -
I finally experienced the feeling of money falling from the sky!
Just as she was thinking about it, she heard some noise outside. She turned around and saw Ling Yao coming back. She turned and walked to the main door, leaning against the door frame, waiting for Ling Yao to approach, and said with a smile: "Accompany me to the countryside on Sunday."
Ling Yao stood in front of her and responded, "Okay, but what are you going to do in the countryside?"
Ruan Xi's mouth and eyes were all filled with smiles, and she whispered, "Go carry the money..."
On Sunday morning, Ruan Xi and Ling Yao got up, washed up, and had breakfast, and Ruan Changsheng just happened to come over. He had already finished breakfast at home before he came. After entering the yard, he asked Ruan Xi directly: "Are we going over now?"
Ruan Xi picked up the bag and said, "Yes, I'll go there now."
The villagers seemed to be very anxious about this matter. Of course, she herself did not care. She also wanted to complete the procedures and get the demolition payment as soon as possible. Now that I have money, I can do other things.
But she also had other considerations and concerns, so she did not go to sign the agreement alone. Instead, she waited until Sunday when everyone was free and took Ling Yao and Ruan Changsheng with her.
Those families who sold their houses were very happy to receive the huge sum of more than eight or nine hundred or one thousand yuan, and they were also very grateful to her for buying their houses. But when that day comes, no one knows what they are thinking.
Ruan Xilingyao and Ruan Changsheng left the hospital, locked the door, got in the car and drove out of the alley.
Ruan Xi sat in the passenger seat and said, "I don't know if we can get it signed today."
Ruan Changsheng sat in the back seat and asked doubtfully, "It's just a signature. How much trouble can it have?"
Ruan Xi looked back at him and said, "I'm afraid someone will not let me sign."
Ruan Changsheng didn't know what the demolition meant and still couldn't quite figure it out. But he didn't ask any more questions because he wouldn't know what the situation was. Since Ruan Xi asked him to join in, he just followed.
Ling Yao drove all the way to the countryside and, with Ruan Xi's instructions, parked the car outside the gate of the village committee.
Ruan Xi got out of the car and looked around. Seeing that there was no one else outside the gate of the village committee, he breathed a sigh of relief. Then he picked up his bag and got out of the car, taking Ling Yao and Ruan Changsheng to the village committee yard.
After entering the courtyard and finding the offices of Secretary Li and Director Liu, Ruan Xi knocked on the door and said politely, "Secretary Li and Director Liu, I'm sorry that I haven't been available these two days. I'm here to sign the demolition agreement."
Secretary Li and Director Liu saw her and hurriedly said, "Come in quickly."
Ruan Xilingyao and Ruan Changsheng walked in, and Director Liu said, "It's been difficult to notify you since you're in the city. Almost all the other households in our village have signed, and you're the only one left. We're waiting for you here."
Hearing this, Ruan Xi said with embarrassment: "I'm really sorry, I've been a bit busy lately."
Secretary Li took out the prepared agreement and some policy documents, handed them to Ruan Xi and said to her: "Although you have several courtyards here, belonging to different production teams, the demolition regulations stipulate that each household can only have one resettlement house. In addition to the resettlement house, we have calculated all your demolition compensation. Check for yourself to see if there are any problems. If there are no problems, we will sign this agreement and go through the necessary procedures. At most one and a half months, the demolition compensation will be directly deposited into your account."
Ruan Xi first looked at the relevant compensation policy, and then looked at his own agreement.
Ruan Changsheng and Ling Yao stood behind her and watched together. When Ruan Changsheng saw the compensation amount on the agreement, his eyes, which were originally of normal size, suddenly widened slowly, and finally widened into big bull eyes.
He was a little bit unbelieving and rubbed his eyes hard.
Then he couldn't control himself, pointed at the compensation in the agreement, and whispered to Ruan Xi: "Really...really?"
Ruan Xi smiled and seemed very calm. "Can the government still lie to us?"
Ruan Changsheng still couldn't believe it, his eyes almost popped out - isn't this like money falling from the sky!
Pies don’t even fall from the sky, but money does fall, and so much of it!
He originally thought that the compensation would just be the original price of the house, but who knew that it would be so much!
What's this? Isn’t this just getting rich overnight?
Oh my God, he felt like his heart was going to jump out of his chest!
So, aren’t the people in this village all very happy during this period?
I don’t have to do anything, but I will never have to worry about food and drink for the rest of my life!
Ruan Xi finished reading the agreement and compensation policy, and handed them to Ling Yao, saying to him, "It seems to me that there is nothing wrong with it, but I am not good at math. Can you help me check if everything is correct?"
Ling Yao was actually also very surprised. After all, he had never experienced such a situation of getting rich through demolition. That day, Ruan Xi told him that he came to the countryside to carry money. He thought Ruan Xi was joking, but he didn't expect it to be serious!
If this is really cash, you won’t be able to carry it back!
But he was not as outgoing as Ruan Changsheng, and his face mostly showed normal expression. He raised his hand, took the agreement and compensation policy from Ruan Xi's hand, and helped her read it carefully.
After reading it, he nodded to Ruan Xi and said, "No problem."
If Ling Yao said there was no problem, then there was definitely no problem. Ruan Xi took the agreement and went to sit down beside Secretary Li's desk. She reached into her bag, pulled out a pen, and found the place on the agreement where she needed to sign.
But just as she uncapped the pen and before she put pen to paper, someone suddenly rushed in from outside the office. The man came over and snatched the pen from Ruan Xi's hand, panting and saying, "You can't sign this agreement!"
Ruan Xi turned around and saw another group of people following the person who grabbed the pen.
You don't need to look closely to know that they are the people who happily took the money to sell their houses.
Seeing that the person coming had ill intentions, Ling Yao and Ruan Changsheng stepped in front of Ruan Xi.
Ruan Changsheng said unhappily: "Why can't you sign?"
The middle-aged woman standing behind him said, "This house is our ancestral home. What right does she have to sign it?"
With Ruan Changsheng and Ling Yao blocking the way, Ruan Xi didn't waste any more words with these people. He simply reached out and picked up the old pen on Secretary Li's desk, quickly signed and stamped the two agreements, gave one copy to Secretary Li, and put one copy in his bag.
Seeing Ruan Xi quickly sign and put his fingerprints on the document, those people rushed over like crazy to grab the agreement.
At this time, Director Liu also stood up, and together with Ruan Changsheng and Ling Yao blocked these people, and said, "What are you making a fuss about now? Why didn't I see you making a fuss when the house was sold? Since the house has been sold a long time ago, it belongs to someone else now."
A woman screamed, "We're not selling the house!"
Secretary Li put the agreement in the drawer, stood up and frowned, saying, "When we sold it, everyone was happier than the other, as if they had gotten a great bargain. Now that it's planned to be demolished, they won't sell it anymore. Is this a good thing?"
The leading man said, "Secretary Li and Director Liu, why are you helping outsiders? Don't you know who the house belongs to? It's where our ancestors have lived for generations, it's our house!"
Secretary Li said, "I don't care about insiders or outsiders. I won't help anyone. Whoever owns it owns it. You took the money and sold the house to someone else. They've bought the house for seven or eight years. How can you still say that the house is yours?"
Ruan Xi remembered that the leading man was the first man who sold the house to her, and it was probably him who brought all these families over. After hearing the news of the demolition, they naturally regretted it now.
I don't want to argue with them. Faced with so much money, it's impossible for these people to be reasonable. She also didn't intend to let Ruan Changsheng and Ling Yao fight with them. She brought them here just to temporarily hold the fort in case of such a situation.
Making a fuss would not produce any result and was a sheer waste of time, so Ruan Xi decisively reached out and picked up the phone on Secretary Li's desk and called the police without saying a word. She didn't have the time to argue with them, so she just let the police handle it.
The leading man saw Ruan Xi calling the police, his eyes widened and he said in a gruff voice, "We haven't said anything yet, but you can't wait to call the police! Who do you want the police to arrest?"
As he said this, he was about to rush towards Ruan Xi again, but was pushed back by Ruan Changsheng and slapped on the head. For a moment he felt a buzzing in his head. When he reacted and wanted to take action, he was suddenly stopped by Secretary Li.
The office was filled with tension, as if a war was about to break out at any second.
Secretary Li and Director Liu both looked unhappy. Secretary Li said in a serious tone, "Don't you want to live anymore? I wonder who dares to move! Since we have already called the police, let's wait for them to come and handle it!"
Director Liu also said with a dark face: "What are you fussing about?! Will there be any result from fussing?"
The burning anger was forcibly suppressed by Secretary Li and Director Liu. After that, the two sides confronted each other with cold faces and no one acted rashly again. After waiting for about half an hour, several policemen came over.
The police entered the room, and the leading police officer looked around and asked, "What are you doing?"
Ruan Xi and the man leading the riot hadn't spoken yet when Director Liu spoke up, "Police comrade, this is what happened. Seven or eight years ago, several families in our village sold their houses to Ruan Xi's family. Now that it's being demolished, they came over and said that the house is theirs and Ruan Xi can't claim the compensation."
After hearing this, the police turned around, looked at the troublemakers and asked, "Why? Did someone force you to sell it?"
The troublemaker was choked by this question and was speechless.
Ruan Xi spoke up at this time, saying, "Not only did no one force them to sell, they were very happy at the time and felt that they had made a fortune. I bought these houses with real money, and the procedures are complete. They are mine."
Hearing this, the man leading the riot said, "You say it's yours? We say it's ours!"
Ruan Xi didn't waste any more words with him and directly took out the house purchase and sale contract and the homestead use right certificate for each house from her bag.
She opened a contract and the corresponding homestead certificate and showed it to the police and the troublemakers, saying, "Look carefully, the contract has your signatures and red fingerprints on it. The house is mine, and the right to use the homestead is also mine. The procedures and documents are complete and legal."
The man who was leading the riot reached out to grab the contract. Ruan Xi took back the contract and the homestead certificate and stepped back, decisively putting both the contract and the homestead certificate back into his briefcase.
The police reacted quickly, pulling out their batons and pointing them at the man leading the riot, and shouted, "Don't move!"
Be reasonable when necessary and speak when necessary, but don't use force in front of the police!
The man who was leading the riot didn't dare to move anymore and subconsciously took two steps back.
The police, holding electric batons, asked the troublemakers: "What about you? What do you have in your hands?"
When they sold the house, there was no homestead certificate, so they just sold the house by handing over the money and the keys. This is how houses are always sold in the countryside. They had nothing in their hands but their mouths, so they shouted, "We don't sell anymore!"
Ruan Changsheng replied, "It's too late! What were you doing earlier?!"
If this had been said two years ago, it would have been acceptable. But now that the house is worth a lot of money, they say they won’t sell it. Is this a good thing? It's been seven or eight years, and now you're changing your mind and saying you don't want to sell it. Are you kidding me?
Ruan Xi didn't want to waste any more time with them. She had already said what she needed to say. She looked at the leading policeman and said, "Comrade policeman, we have explained everything clearly. Can we go now?"
The police looked at Ruan Xi, then at the people who were causing trouble in front of them.
It's not their business to decide who the house belongs to. It's not like someone is occupying a private residence or anything. They can only mediate and resolve the conflict and prevent people from causing trouble. Now that the matter has been made clear, they naturally would not leave Ruan Xi and the other two behind.
After a moment, the leading policeman said, "Okay, you can go."
The troublemakers were naturally unhappy, and when Ruan Xi, Ruan Changsheng and Ling Yao were walking out, they tacitly blocked their way. There was no other way, so several policemen had to come over with batons to clear the way and yell at them to get out of the way.
Ruan Xi, Ling Yao and Ruan Changsheng stood still and confronted the troublemakers with their eyes.
After the people in front of them made way, they just walked away.
Driving back to the city, Ruan Changsheng sat in the back and asked, "What if they come to the city to cause trouble again?"
Ruan Xi turned around to look at the scenery outside and said without any extra words, "Call the police."
She has bought these houses seven or eight years ago, not just in the past two years. She spent so much money to buy their house when prices were at their lowest, making them rich at that time. They have lived a better life than others for so many years. Should she return the house to them now? She is not a saint, and there is no such good thing in the world where one can take advantage of others.
Skipping the topic of the riot, Ruan Changsheng couldn't help but sigh: "Xiaoxi, you are so lucky, it's really like God's help. In the past two years, we have all lived in the city, and we have companies and factories. Before, I said that you bought those houses in the countryside at a loss. They are basically useless. You just let them grow weeds, but who knew they could be demolished!"
This luck seemed to him to be incredible.
If it hadn't really happened before his eyes and he had seen it with his own eyes, he would never have believed it!
Ruan Xi looked at Ling Yao and smiled, but was too embarrassed to admit that she was lucky.
After signing the demolition agreement, Ruan Xi asked Ruan Changsheng to take time out to help him run to the countryside several times to complete all the remaining procedures, mainly to send the account for receiving money to Secretary Li.
The company has a car, so it is not a hassle for Ruan Changsheng to run errands.
After running errands in the countryside that day, Ruan Changsheng came into the office and said to Ruan Xi, "Everything has been done, but I heard from Director Liu that they are now planning to unite and find a lawyer to sue you."
Ruan Xi didn't care and just said, "Whatever, I'll listen to the court."
Ruan Changsheng felt uneasy, and looked at Ruan Xi and asked, "If they really sue, can they win?"
Ruan Xi picked up the cup and took a sip of coffee. "They have nothing. What can they sue? Their mouths?"
When Ruan Changsheng heard this, he nodded and felt relieved.
The sun is shining brightly in June, and the poplar trees are lush and green.
Ruan Xi came out of the bank, put on sunglasses and went to drive.
The demolition compensation has been successfully transferred into her account, but she has not received any court summons so far. As for the specific situation in the countryside, she didn't ask, but in any case, they didn't come to the city to make trouble.
When she drove back to the company, she just went upstairs when her assistant Cheng Nuonuo came up to her and said, "Boss Ruan, Boss Xie and Miss Wen are here. They are waiting for you in the office."
Ruan Xi nodded and went to the office. After entering the room, she greeted Xie Dongyang and Wen Xiao with a smile.
Wen Xiao and Xie Dongyang stood up, greeted each other, and then sat down with Ruan Xi.
Ruan Xi took a sip of tea and looked at Wen Xiao and asked, "I have already made the blank. Can I take you to try it on?"
Wen Xiao did come to look at the clothes, she had been looking forward to it for a month. But Xie Dongyang also had something to say to Ruan Xi, so she looked at Ruan Xi and said, "Let Nuonuo take me to try it. I can't wait. You guys chat for a while."
In that case, Ruan Xi asked Cheng Nuonuo to take Wen Xiao to try on clothes.
After Cheng Nuonuo and Wen Xiao left, only Xie Dongyang and Ruan Xi were left in the office.
Xie Dongyang picked up the cup and took a sip of tea, then looked at Ruan Xi and asked directly: "You made some money recently, right?"
Ruan Xi smiled and asked, "Have you heard about it?"
Xie Dongyang put down his cup and said, "I just came back yesterday. I was having dinner with someone and heard someone mention the demolition in the countryside. I thought, hey? It seems like you bought a house there back then. Did you buy another one later?"
Ruan Xi smiled and said, "Because there was not enough space, I bought three more sets later."
"Four sets?" Xie Dongyang stared at him, then nodded his head and said in admiration: "I'm telling you, because of this, I couldn't sleep all night last night. I was just thinking, you asked me to buy one, why did I dislike the house in the countryside and not buy one! This made me so upset that I didn't sleep all night and stayed awake until dawn."
Ruan Xi couldn't help but laugh, "Who could have thought that it would be demolished?"
Xie Dongyang took another sip of tea and smacked his lips a few times before saying, "I really didn't expect something this far ahead. No one could have predicted that something like this would happen. Those people who sold their houses must be regretting it now, right? Did they cause you any trouble?"
Ruan Xi also picked up the cup and took a sip of tea. "There was a scene when I went to the countryside to sign the agreement before. After signing the agreement, I didn't go back to the countryside. They didn't come to the city to make trouble. They said they would hire a lawyer to sue me in court, but there has been no movement so far."
Xie Dongyang said: "You signed a contract with them at the time, so it's useless to sue them."
Ruan Xi smiled and said, "Fortunately, I signed the contract at that time."
Xie Dongyang naturally felt fortunate. If he had not signed the contract at that time, there would be a real quarrel over who owns the house now. Because the contract has been signed and there is a certificate for the right to use the homestead, it is a certainty.
Ruan Xi helped Xie Dongyang fill his teacup, put down the teapot and said, "Now my Shengfang brand store is on the right track. I don't need to worry about it anymore. I can spare some energy to do other things. It just so happens that I have some money now. How about we do something big?"
Xie Dongyang had been waiting for Ruan Xi to mention the cooperation, and when he saw her say that, he naturally asked without hesitation: "What for?"
Ruan Xi looked at him and smiled softly, "Real estate."
"Real estate?" Xie Dongyang looked at Ruan Xi with confusion.
Where did you start saying this? Where to start? I've never heard anyone mention this.
Ruan Xi filled a cup of tea for herself, drank it, looked at Xie Dongyang and said, "I told you, if we want to do something, we should do something that no one else is doing. Just think about it, why does the government spend so much money on demolition?"
Xie Dongyang was slightly stunned, "I really didn't think of this question."
Ruan Xi continued, "The purpose of demolition is to make new plans and construction. Do you think the government has enough money to do the demolition and then the construction? Now all industries are moving towards marketization. Will houses and land also move towards marketization? Especially land, won't there be a day when it can be legally auctioned or transferred?"
Of course, it is impossible to buy and sell land, as land always belongs to the state or the collective.
Xie Dongyang looked at Ruan Xi, thought for a moment and said, "I dare not say whether there will be such a day, but I think your speculation is indeed reasonable. If this is true, then what we have to do is..."
Ruan Xi continued, "Invest in setting up a real estate company and wait for an opportunity to acquire land. After acquiring the land, we can do whatever we want. Whether it's a restaurant, a hotel, a residential complex, or even a large shopping mall, we can do it."
Xie Dongyang was a little confused, "Can it be so big?"
Ruan Xi looked at him and said, "It all depends on whether you dare to play or not."
If you don't dare to play, just stay in your own trading company and do business for the rest of your life. If you dare to do it, there are endless possibilities.
Anyway, in this era, the bold ones will die of overeating, while the timid ones will die of starvation. Daring to think and act is the basis.
Xie Dongyang's heart started beating very fast when he heard this. Naturally, he still felt a little floating. After all, the things that Ruan Xi mentioned had never been done by private individuals so far. Could the country really let private individuals do them?
Still feeling uncertain, he guzzled down several more cups of tea.
Ruan Xi was naturally not in a hurry about this matter and let him think about it slowly.
Of course, Ruan Xi didn't do it alone because she didn't have enough energy to take care of so many things. Her main plan was to invest money and set up a real estate company with Xie Dongyang. Xie Dongyang would manage the company, and he would also be in charge of acquiring land and carrying out projects in the future.
After Xie Dongyang drank his tea in silence, Ruan Xi didn't say anything else. The office was quiet for a while, and then there was a knock on the door. Ruan Xi looked up and saw Cheng Nuonuo coming in with Wen Xiao, who was wearing a formal dress.
Wen Xiao not only changed into a dress, but also styled her hair to match the dress.
When Xie Dongyang heard the noise, he looked towards the office door. When he saw Wen Xiao, he was stunned for a moment.
Wen Xiao walked in wearing a white suit and asked him with a smile: "How is it?"
Xie Dongyang came back to his senses, stood up and said, "She is stunningly beautiful."
Wen Xiao laughed happily, then looked at Ruan Xi and said, "She looks like a fairy. I like her very much."
Ruan Xi returned all her attention to the dress, stood up and walked to Wen Xiao's side, looked around and asked, "Are you dissatisfied with the style and pattern? If you are not satisfied, please let me know and I can help you modify it."
Wen Xiao seemed to be extremely pleased with it. "I am not dissatisfied at all. I am satisfied with everything."
Hearing what she said, Ruan Xi couldn't help but laugh, unable to hide the happiness in her eyes, "Okay, then I'll measure your body shape again later, and then we'll officially start making it."
Wen Xiao tilted her head and couldn't help smiling, "I'm really looking forward to it now. I wish I could just live with you and never leave. It must be very interesting to watch you make the dress every day."
As a girl, Ruan Xi could understand her love and expectation for the beautiful dress, so she said to her, "I'll do it first, and when it's almost finished, you can come over and take a look."
Wen Xiao nodded decisively: "Okay, then I'll find time to come and see it later."
Ruan Xi and Wen Xiao agreed on the dress, and Wen Xiao followed Cheng Nuonuo to the studio to change clothes.
Ruan Xi returned to the sofa and sat down, and Xie Dongyang followed her and sat down on the sofa.
Ruan Xi turned to look at him, and said with a relaxed smile: "Go back and think about it slowly."
Xie Dongyang nodded and said, "Okay, I'll think about it for two days."
