Ye Huixian had arrived in Shanghai a few days earlier and came to pick them up at the airport today. When he saw the two of them come out, he smiled and said, "I thought you two had arrived earlier than me, but it turns out I came back first."
"Hello Auntie, I need to get things arranged first," Yan Xiaonan and Ye Chenming said at the same time.
"I know, you two are so in sync, you even speak in exactly the same way," Ye Huixian said with a smile.
Seeing the Xiali car in the airport parking lot, Yan Xiaonan smiled. Such a small car is really suitable for a short person like Ye Huixian to drive. She can squeeze in, but Ye Chenming's long legs would have some trouble.
After tossing his luggage in the trunk, Ye Chenming sat in the front seat and moved back as far as he could until he could move no more, finally feeling that his legs could find a comfortable angle.
"Auntie, your car is too small. Why don't you buy a bigger one?"
"It's not mine, it belongs to my second brother. My second sister-in-law bought it for him when she came back last time, saying it was for transportation," Ye Huixian said with a smile.
"Auntie is definitely trying to appease Uncle. After all, it's not good for them to live apart for too long. They can only wait until Uncle retires so he can go to the capital to reunite with Auntie," Ye Chenming sighed.
Yan Xiaonan shook her head: "Auntie, Chenming, I've discussed it with my aunt. Once the wholesale market in Shanghai is ready, my aunt will come here, because she's also an investor."
Ye Huixian nodded repeatedly: "That's good, that's good. Now my second brother regrets it; he should have invested in a few more sets."
The group quickly returned to the small villa. The leaves of the sycamore tree rustled. Yan Xiaonan subtly released a burst of mountain god energy, making the sycamore leaves rustle even louder.
Ye Huixian looked at the sycamore tree strangely. There was no wind, so why were the leaves swaying? Ye Chenming smiled and thought, "It seems this sycamore tree has become a spirit."
The two returned to their room, which had been cleaned spotlessly, with even the bedding replaced with new ones. Ye Chenming was very satisfied; his aunt must have done all of this, as his uncle was never this meticulous.
The two took a good shower, went downstairs for a snack, and then discussed the relocation with Ye Huixian. Ye Huixian had already prepared all the documents, and Ye Chenming took out paper and pen and began to do the calculations.
Yan Xiaonan bought fifteen shops, Ye Huixian bought ten, and Ye Huiguo bought five. Yan Xiaonan had always chosen the first row of shops, the ones that looked very dilapidated.
Ye Huiguo found it strange that they chose these shops. The two rows behind were far from the first row, the houses were in much better condition, and the business was better than that of the first row. Wouldn't it be better to choose those?
Yan Xiaonan shook her head. She had specifically checked the information and found that the first wholesale market was built on a small scale. Large-scale expansion would take another ten or twenty years. Therefore, it was acceptable to buy the shops in the back two rows a few years later.
Since Yan Xiaonan shook her head, Ye Chenming also sided with Yan Xiaonan. Ye Huiguo remembered his wife's words and listened to Nannan in everything, so Ye Huixian followed suit and bought the items.
Facts speak louder than words. The scope of this relocation is the frontmost ring of street-front shops. The original small commodity market will be transformed into a wholesale market mainly for clothing.
Ye Chenming had already calculated the area and everything. The shops that Yan Xiaonan bought were all different sizes, the smallest being only a few square meters and the largest being forty or fifty square meters. They were all old, dilapidated shops in Shanghai.
In any case, the fifteen shops together total more than 320 square meters. Ye Huixian's shop is more than 180 square meters, while Ye Huiguo's is slightly less, with only five shops totaling more than 80 square meters.
Ye Huiguo was very satisfied. He was given two units for every one demolished, which meant he had 170 square meters. He could get at least three shops in return. With some compensation, he even saved money on renovations.
Most importantly, Sheng Lijuan is able to come back. The couple has been separated for long periods, so they should spend more time together. After he retires, he will help his wife manage the shop and do what he can.
Oh, and Chen'er has had another child. In the future, whether the two children live in Beijing or Shanghai, they will have their own home.
Yan Xiaonan looked at Ye's uncle and felt a little sour. Who knew that her uncle and father-in-law, who looked so handsome, were actually single all year round. Fortunately, her uncle's single days were about to end.
After discussing and agreeing on the terms, the group went directly to the demolition office the next day. The staff there finally met the two largest households being relocated, especially Yan Xiaonan, who looked like a pure college student, showing no signs of being a mother of two.
Ye Chenming, standing to the side, was even more handsome with striking features and an elegant demeanor. Ye Huixian, standing behind him, was even more impressive, possessing the refined air of a well-bred young lady cultivated since childhood that made it difficult to look directly at her.
The staff no longer had the courage to probe their background and went straight to the point. Ye Huiguo, as their representative, explained their views and demands.
The staff members were in a dilemma. They had certain authority, and they could fully meet the requirements Ye Huiguo had made, but they also had relatives and friends, and they also needed to seek some personal gain for themselves.
Ye Huiguo and his two big shots divided up the best profits right away. What about the others? They can't just refuse, because these guys are clearly not to be trifled with. It's a dilemma.
Ye Huiguo was still arguing with the staff, going back and forth, which looked very lively, but they were not getting to the point. Yan Xiaonan watched in vain.
Yan Xiaonan's consciousness spread outwards, and in a small room behind, there was a middle-aged man holding a cigarette, leaning against the door listening intently to their conversation.
With a sudden thought, he whispered a few words to Ye Chenming, who nodded and said to the staff, "How about this, take me to see your leader. I want to talk to him alone."
The staff members' eyes lit up with obvious smiles when they heard that it was a private meeting; they were a bunch of shrewd people. One of them turned around and went into the inner room.
Yan Xiaonan kept an eye on the middle-aged man inside. She saw him walk to the workbench, sit down quickly, adjust his posture, and slowly start smoking. Just then, there was a knock on the door.
"Come in," the middle-aged man immediately responded.
The staff member went in and whispered a few words in his ear. The middle-aged man nodded, but there was also an uncontrollable joy in his eyes. Damn it, we've finally waited for this. This is a big fish.
Most of those affected by this demolition are small business owners, shrewd and quick to offer him gifts, hoping to gain more benefits. But compared to this big fish, those small businesses that promised him a few hundred or a thousand can just go away and stay out of the way.
