Ye Chenming walked in calmly. The middle-aged man gasped when he saw him. Judging from the man's demeanor and appearance, he knew that Ye Chenming was no ordinary person. It seemed that this windfall was not so easy to come by.
While weighing the pros and cons in his mind and considering how to speak without offending anyone, Ye Chenming closed the door and sat down in the chair opposite him.
"My name is Ye Chenming. May I ask your surname?" Ye Chenming could only ask when he saw that the other party's expression was not at ease.
"Oh, Mr. Ye, hello. My surname is Chen."
"Mr. Chen, I'm sorry to bother you. I currently work in Beijing, as does my wife, so we'd like to trouble you to handle these relocations in Shanghai. These are our requests, please take a look."
Ye Chenming handed over the paper with his requirements written on it. Mr. Chen took it and read it carefully. The more he read, the more surprised he became. He sighed inwardly, "This is what elites are."
The houses haven't been demolished yet, and the wholesale market hasn't been built, but they've already thoroughly understood the policies, calculated the best location for the wholesale market, and even specified the purpose of the compensation. Their demands are reasonable.
Is it really okay to just give it away for free? You know, if these prime locations were given to other businessmen, his pockets would definitely be bulging. But is it really worth it to just ask them for it so directly? They're from the capital, isn't that a bit risky?
As he hesitated about how to broach the subject, Ye Chenming handed over another IOU, which stated that Ye Chenming owed Chen Sheng 100,000 yuan in cash, and that he would repay the principal and interest in full two months later. He also signed his name.
Chen Sheng's eyes bulged out. First, everyone knew his name. Second, it was 100,000 yuan in cash. In other words, as long as he agreed to Ye Chenming's request, he could get 100,000 yuan for free. Moreover, the other party was giving it to him in the form of repaying a debt, without revealing the slightest clue.
“Mr. Ye, if someone asks me why you owe me so much debt, how should I answer?” Chen Sheng was also a meticulous person.
"Gambling debts," Ye Chenming uttered softly.
Chen Sheng made up his mind. Two months was a perfect timeframe. By then, the demolition work had been completed, all the agreements had been signed, and it was time for them to leave.
Chen carefully put the IOU into his pocket. Besides giving his subordinates an extra 10,000 yuan, he could make a net profit of 90,000 yuan. Once he got the money, he would quit his job, buy another house, and start a small business.
Ye Chenming stood up and extended his hand: "Pleasure doing business with you."
Chen Sheng quickly stood up and stretched out both hands: "It will definitely be pleasant, Mr. Ye. Don't worry, Mr. Ye Huiguo will handle all the formalities."
Ye Chenming's eyes flashed. He really was a shrewd person, somewhat like Ahao from Huacheng. Ever since Ahao became Nannan's agent, he had been doing his job cleanly and efficiently, and his own pockets were bulging as much as they could possibly be.
As long as the other party isn't too greedy, Nan Nan needs someone like that. Ye Chenming tentatively asked, "If you want to find a new job, you can contact me. I'll definitely satisfy you."
Chen Sheng was terrified. Who was this person? He could even see into his heart.
When Chen Sheng's terrified eyes met Ye Chenming's friendly gaze, he inexplicably calmed down. A voice in his heart told him that as long as he followed the young man in front of him, his future would be limitless.
Chen Sheng gritted his teeth, took out the IOU from his pocket, and handed it to Ye Chenming: "Boss Ye, you have great courage. I'm not afraid either. This is my letter of surrender."
Ye Chenming's eyes were filled with admiration. This was a man destined for great things. Ten thousand yuan was a huge sum of money, and to be able to take it out to surrender without hesitation, this guy had potential.
He waved his hand and said, "My wife likes to do things one step at a time. This is the fee for this task. There will be other fees later."
Chen Sheng understood. The real boss was his wife, the beautiful woman who looked like a college student. Indeed, appearances can be deceiving.
They respectfully saw Ye Chenming out the door, instructing the staff to process his request as quickly as possible and then bring it to him for stamping and signature. The staff members' lips curled up in a subtle smile; the boss had reached an agreement.
Mr. Chen is in his early forties and is from Shanghai. He is extremely good at business, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to work in the demolition office for so many years and make a lot of money from it.
But as the old saying goes, if you walk by the river long enough, you're bound to get your shoes wet. Chen Sheng was planning to make one more quick buck before leaving, but he had no idea where he was going.
He didn't have the ability to enter government office buildings, and he didn't want to go into ordinary companies. He was really stuck in a rut, not daring to settle for less. He was thinking that he might as well start a small business when Ye Chenming extended an olive branch to him.
Judging from the prime locations and substantial compensation they received, these three people seemed like big businessmen. Such a promising future had fallen into his lap.
Chen Sheng took out paper and pen and started writing and drawing. His mind became clearer and clearer. He had already decided on his role: to run the shop and also buy some goods for himself to earn a profit. At least he could support his family.
Yan Xiaonan and his group left the demolition office with smiles on their faces. They were going to have a meal at the Peace Hotel in Shanghai to celebrate.
The Peace Hotel, a Gothic building, is 77 meters tall with 12 floors. It is a landmark building in Shanghai, featuring suites with themes from nine different countries, as well as many unique restaurants.
With its red pillars, green walls, and dragon and phoenix roofs in Khitan gold script, the Dragon and Phoenix Restaurant creates a classic and luxurious style and atmosphere, making Yan Xiaonan feel as if she were in a noble world exclusively for royalty.
Seeing Ye Chenming, Ye Huixian, and Ye Huiguo's nonchalant and worldly demeanor, Yan Xiaonan felt somewhat discouraged. After all, they came from prominent families and were already unfazed by honor or disgrace. Unlike herself, without the benefit of being reborn, where would she get the confidence to compare herself with them?
After a satisfying meal, it's time to relax and unwind. The best place is the jazz bar in the Peace Hotel, where the band, composed of elderly people with an average age of eighty, is a highlight.
Several people held Sassoon cocktails in their hands, listening to classic and elegant Sassoon melodies. In this environment of flickering candlelight and floating musical notes, they were intoxicated by the atmosphere without even drinking the alcohol.
Ye Chenming even wanted to have Yan Xiaonan perform a ballroom dance on the spot, but unfortunately Yan Xiaonan didn't know how. She really didn't know how. In her previous life, ballroom dancing was the domain of old ladies in public squares.
She found it extremely annoying that the middle-aged women were blasting loud music and swaying their obese bodies in the square, trying to lose weight without any regard for whether others could tolerate their antics.
