The new plan includes a slight increase in land acquisition compensation for the factory area, as well as compensation for factory buildings, depreciation of machinery and equipment, losses due to work stoppage, and relocation to the new factory area.
However, the compensation price was a full third lower than that in other areas of Xijing City.
Jiang Xiaoli frowned as she looked at the demolition compensation agreement. "Could it be that Boss Fu was right? Does he really intend to drag things out with us little by little?"
Ming Chan wiped the sweat from his brow. "When I went to the meeting this morning, many people said the same thing."
He hesitated for a moment before speaking, "Many people suspect there's something fishy going on here, Chairman Jiang. This is likely going to be a long battle."
She sighed, "Well, there's nothing we can do about it."
She closed the demolition agreement and said, "Director Ming, our new factory will most likely have to move away from Xijing. What do you think about this?"
Ming Chan immediately replied, "Chairman Jiang, I will unconditionally cooperate with the company's arrangements!"
Jiang Xiaoli smiled and said, "Okay, Mr. Fu will discuss the new factory location with you later."
"Okay, okay, no problem."
Since the demolition issue couldn't be resolved quickly, they went to the cemetery to talk to Jiang Weimin before boarding a plane back to Kyoto.
As soon as she landed and turned on her phone, Jiang Xiaoli received a call from Ren Zhiyi: "Xiaoli, 'Pentagon's' new autumn collection will be on the cover of 'Glamour' magazine's October issue!"
She raised an eyebrow. "Was it promoted by 'Jiang's Entertainment'?"
“Yes,” Ren Zhiyi replied. “This issue’s cover features our spokesperson, Yuan Rou, whom we invited. She recommended our ‘pentagon’ design, and ‘Meili’ has already agreed. They’ll be coming to the company this afternoon to select the design!”
“That’s great! Our new products this season are outstanding,” she said with a smile.
Ren Zhiyi hummed twice, "Haha, I know, I'm just so happy! Xiao Li, hiring us as our spokesperson was definitely worthwhile! Once the October issue of 'Glamour' is released, our 'Pentagon' sales are going to jump even higher!"
Jiang Xiaoli chuckled lightly, "Let's finalize the details first. We'll meet at the company this afternoon to discuss it."
Li Guizhi looked at her, "Busy person, are you going straight to the company in a bit?"
She nodded. "Yes, but let me take you home first."
After taking Li Guizhi home, Jiang Xiaoli and the other two grabbed a quick bite and went to the company together.
As soon as she arrived on the fifth floor, Ren Zhiyi excitedly pulled her into the sample room.
Right now, the costume designer at "Meili" is selecting clothes suitable for the photoshoot.
"Rou Rou, this brand suits your temperament so well, every outfit suits you so well, I'm really a little overwhelmed by the choices."
Yuan Rou smiled and said, "I told you my recommendation was right! I heard that many of the styles here were designed by our big boss himself!"
The costume designer gaped in surprise. "Really? Rou Rou, are you talking about that big boss?"
As she spoke, she pointed upwards to the ceiling.
Yuan Rou nodded, "Yes, that's what President Qiao told me, it can't be wrong."
The costume designer exclaimed, "My goodness, this person is truly versatile!"
Jiang Xiaoli listened for a few moments at the door and said with a smile, "Thank you for the compliment."
Yuan Rou, her assistant, and the stylist who selected the clothes all blushed a little when talking about others behind their backs.
Yuan Rou was the first to apologize, "Chairman Jiang, I'm so sorry, we shouldn't have talked about you behind your back..."
"It's alright." Jiang Xiaoli waved her hand. "It would be too much of an exaggeration if I were unhappy even if someone praised me behind my back."
The stylist quickly flattered, "Chairman Jiang, the 'Pentagon' design is fresh and simple yet exudes a confident and composed aura. It's truly fantastic! Our magazine has a very high opinion of 'Pentagon'!"
"Thank you," she said with a smile. "And thank you for choosing 'Pentagon.' I hope we can have a pleasant collaboration."
"Absolutely!" the costume designer nodded repeatedly.
After Jiang Xiaoli and Ren Zhiyi came out of the sample room, they laughed and said, "Why do I feel like a lot of people think I'm scary these days?"
Ren Zhiyi laughed and said, "You're only just finding out?"
She asked, puzzled, "I just found out, what exactly happened?"
“We still need to start with the leak of the design drafts,” Ren Zhiyi said. “Most people don’t know the inside story. They only know that you resolved the matter swiftly and decisively.”
She smiled and continued, "Plus, you founded the 'Jiang Group' at only 20 years old. Many people who don't know you subconsciously assume you're the kind of person who's extremely cold-blooded, ruthless, and impartial, so of course they're afraid of you!"
Jiang Xiaoli was speechless. "Is this considered a case of my reputation being damaged?"
"Haha, actually this is quite good," Ren Zhiyi said. "At least people will work harder when they are afraid of you."
She thought for a moment and chuckled, "Fine, if I don't take the blame, who will?"
Ren Zhiyi smiled and nodded. "By the way, Xiaoli, my aunt bought an apartment in 'Huarong Yayuan.' It's 135 square meters, and the price was much cheaper. She'd like to treat you to dinner to express her gratitude. Do you have time?"
Jiang Xiaoli shook her head. "No need, it's good that the house is bought. By the way, what about Xiaoyue and Chengcheng? What are their plans?"
Speak of the devil, and he appears; Chang Yue called, “Xiao Li, I just took my parents to see a house, and I’m planning to buy the one we liked last time.”
Jiang Xiaoli laughed and said, "I was just asking Zhiyi about this! How much money do you still need?"
Chang Yue smiled and said, "Xiao Li, I just wanted to let you know that I don't need to borrow money from you anymore. I plan to take out a loan to buy it, and I'll just do a short-term installment plan."
