Guanyin Mountain.

The highest mountain next to the shantytown.

More than three meters above sea level.

There is a Guanyin Temple on the mountain, which looks a bit dilapidated due to years of disrepair.

However, there are many pilgrims willing to climb the mountain to worship in recent years, but most of them are poor.

"Why do poor people always like to place their hopes on an illusory god?"

Looking at the pilgrims burning incense, Pang Longhai sighed.

Chen Fan smiled and said, "It's not the poor, it's the rich who are more superstitious."

Pang Longhai smiled and said, "That does make sense."

"How is it? Is this place okay?"

Chen Fan looked around and said with a smile, "The environment is nice. If it is well developed, it may become a tourist attraction."

Pang Longhai asked with a smile: "Chen...Brother, what exactly are you going to do?"

Although he asked this question, Pang Longhai actually knew it in his heart a long time ago.

Because he had already learned that the slum renovation project had been taken over by Chen Fan's Qifan Construction.

Naturally, I also guessed why Chen Fan came here today.

Sure enough, Chen Fan looked down the mountain, looked at the densely packed shanty towns, and fell into deep thought.

Pang Longhai hesitated for a moment, then walked over and spoke.

"The most difficult part of developing shantytowns is the initial demolition. There are too many people living here. Migrant workers, local villagers, landlords, thieves, hooligans, it's really a mixed bag..."

Chen Fan said calmly: "We must come up with a demolition plan that will satisfy some people."

Pang Longhai smiled bitterly: "It's not that easy. Many people are counting on the demolition to make a fortune."

"The poorer a person is, the more he dares to speak."

Chen Fan was silent.

The city has basically decided on the compensation for this demolition.

The initial compensation for demolition was all funded by the city's finances, so there wasn't much Chen Fan needed to do.

His Qifan Construction is mainly responsible for helping the relocated households relocate and handle all subsequent matters.

Chen Fan had actually already read the compensation proposal from the city.

Generally speaking, it is on par with the domestic level, which is very good.

However, the case has been publicized for so many days, and the feedback received is not ideal.

Some people think that the compensation is too little, and they just barely change to a bigger house, while others want more compensation, or a bigger house...

Some elderly people want two houses, one for themselves and one for their children when they get married.

What's worse, some tenants who have lived in the shantytowns for a long time also feel that they should be compensated, so they join in the fun, hoping to get some financial compensation.

Chen Fan knew that because of these complaints, Mayor Tong Haoran had been having a headache these days and had been holding meetings constantly, but he could not find a better solution.

But Tong Haoran's style has always been known for being hard-line.

He has set the final date, no matter what, it must be demolished. No one can stop the development of Yunhai.

As a developer, Chen Fan naturally wanted to find a perfect solution to this problem.

But if there is no good plan, Chen Fan is worried that something unexpected will happen on the day of demolition.

Chen Fan turned around and said, taking a few long-range photos of the shantytowns at the foot of the mountain with a SLR camera.

"Let's go. Go back."

When going down the mountain, Pang Longhai was still hesitating about how to talk to Chen Fan.

Unexpectedly, Chen Fan took the initiative to ask: "Brother Pang, I have been very busy recently and have rarely contacted you. I heard that you got promoted again, and I haven't had time to congratulate you yet."

Pang Longhai quickly smiled and said, "Brother Chen, your words are too polite."

"I know how powerful I am. I also know why I was promoted."

"How about you, Brother Chen? I'm still my captain now."

Pang Longhai glanced at Chen Fan and said with a smile, "Brother Chen, I will remember your favor."

Unlike when the two first met, Pang Longhai now has nothing to be proud of in front of Chen Fan.

Moreover, he is a smart man and knows why he was promoted in the past two years.

Otherwise, because of his acquaintance with Chen Fan, he would not have been promoted so quickly.

Therefore, Pang Longhai's words were not just polite words, but came from the heart.

Chen Fan smiled and said, "It has nothing to do with me. The main thing is that you have the strength."

Pang Longhai smiled and said, "Brother Chen, there are no outsiders here, so let's not be polite."

They looked at each other and both laughed.

"I'm sorry to trouble you again, Brother Pang."

"That's very polite. I wish you wouldn't bother me."

"Besides, I've been transferred to the Development Zone Police Station. This shantytown is right under my jurisdiction. If you don't come to me, who else can you come to?"

Pang Longhai said politely: "If you encounter any trouble in the future, give me a call and I will definitely help you solve it."

Chen Fan smiled and said, "It's a happy occasion for Gaosheng. How about I treat Brother Pang to dinner someday when I'm free?"

Pang Longhai clapped his hands and said, "Why wait for that day? Let's do it today."

"Tonight. I just came out of the house after receiving your call. Your sister-in-law said she would invite you to her house for dinner tonight. She wants to thank you for your help."

Chen Fan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "I'm fine with the meal, but I won't thank you."

Pang Longhai was delighted. He didn't expect Chen Fan to agree so readily.

"That's settled. I'll call your sister-in-law right now and ask her to prepare in advance."

Chen Fan smiled and said, "No problem. I have something else to do. I will be there on time in the evening."

"Okay, I'll wait for you at home."

Pang Longhai was very emotional.

Chen Fan is still that Brother Chen.

I have not alienated myself just because I have become successful.

The two of them went down the mountain and separated. Before leaving, Pang Longhai said, "I will go back to the police station and personally interrogate the guys who provoked Brother Chen. I want to see who is behind them."

Chen Fan originally wanted to say that it was just an accident, but before he could open his mouth, Pang Longhai had already got in the car and drove away.

Chen Fan shook his head and turned to look at Zhang Shun.

"Let's go too."

Starting the car, Zhang Shun felt a little embarrassed.

"Boss, today... I've caused you trouble."

Chen Fan smiled and said, "It has nothing to do with you. They are just deliberately trying to scam me."

"Go to the club and have a good rest when you get back, and come pick me up in the evening."

"놆."

Chen Fan was flipping through a map of Yunhai city in his hand, and he was still thinking about the shantytowns.

When he was about to get home, Chen Fan took out his cell phone and made a call.

"Hello, is this the boss? I'm Chen Fan."

"Are you free this afternoon? I would like to arrange a meeting with you."

The person on the other end of the phone was Ling's father, Xizhi.

Ever since Chen Fan acquired his electronics factory and invested in his real estate company.

Chen Fan is already his first shareholder.

Chen Fan was so polite that Wang Xizhi naturally did not dare to neglect him.

"No problem, Mr. Chen, I will be waiting for you in the office this afternoon."

"Then 2:30 pm. I'll call you later."

"Okay, no problem."

After hanging up the phone, Wang Xi fell into deep thought.

It has been a long time since Chen Fan last invested in the company.

Just as Chen Fan had promised, he really did not interfere in any of the company's affairs.

Moreover, all the difficulties that Wang Xizhi had previously thought were unsolvable were easily solved by Chen Fan.

At this point, Wang Xi really understood how powerful Chen Fan was in Yunhai.

His eyes fell on the desk, where there was a photo of his girlfriend, Ling.

After the troubles at home were resolved, the girl went abroad and returned to school.

And she told herself that things between her and Chen Fan should not be very good anymore.

I was so disappointed to think that such a promising son-in-law had just slipped away from me.

I felt depressed for a while.

"Oh, if it were back then..."
