As the saying goes, a man who knows the current affairs of the time is a hero. Han Ming was indeed very aware of the current affairs of the time. He laughed it off and retreated.
Du Ruo frowned and looked at Han Ming and Qu's father without saying a word.
Secretary Li took a step forward.
"Mr. Du, this is the topographic map of this piece of land. Would you like to take a look?"
"No, I'm in a good mood today. I think that village is nice. Let's go for a walk."
The village that Du Ruo pointed at was the one that was planned to be relocated.
Secretary Li didn't know what the boss meant, but since President Du wanted to go, then let him go.
A group of people got on the car and drove towards the nearby village.
Secretary Li is very familiar with this area. He and General Manager Chen have been coming here frequently recently and have been introducing it to Du Ruo.
"The business district should be over there. There's a highway on one side, and there should be a lake nearby. The construction of the lake island is also under bidding. It's a key project in the city, with huge investment, and the leaders are paying close attention. Mr. Chen and I have been here several times and conducted detailed on-site inspections. The report should have been handed over to Mr. Du."
Du Ruo looked out the window with a frown on his face.
"I saw it. Let's talk about it tomorrow."
The car drove into the village. Dongsheng Village is a relatively large village nearby, with about a few hundred households and thousands of people. The nearby farmland is mostly dry land. Most villagers make a living by farming, working from sunrise to sunset, and their lives are quite regular.
However, the villagers also have their own channels of information. Recently, there have been rumors that their village is going to be relocated. This is a big deal. Once relocated, the land compensation and housing compensation will not be a small amount. Once they are relocated, they will be able to sing and dance, and they don’t have to worry about the livelihood of their children and grandchildren.
The atmosphere in the village has been quite lively recently, and everyone is in high spirits. According to the news brought back by the villagers, more than a dozen nearby villages are indeed going to be relocated, and it is said that the bidding is about to begin.
Seeing several cars driving in one after another, the villagers' faces no longer showed any strange expression. This has become common recently.
Wave after wave of big bosses drove luxury cars to their village for on-site inspections. From the initial astonishment, they gradually became numb. Some villagers even secretly thought that if they were relocated, they would get one to drive.
Although the relocation has not yet started, some idle people have completely relaxed themselves and don't want to do anything anymore, just waiting to get their money.
What? You say it's not certain? The news is confirmed. The city will hold a bidding meeting the day after tomorrow.
Du Ruo entered the village and took a look around. The houses were arranged in an orderly manner, smoke rose from the roofs, old men were playing chess under the trees, and children were playing at the entrance of the alley. The atmosphere was relaxed and peaceful.
Du Ruo's brows furrowed tighter and tighter. Something was wrong, something was very wrong.
Logically speaking, this place is about to be developed into a commercial district in the city, and the villagers must have made a lot of money. Even if one or two families are unlucky and squander the money, it cannot be the same for every family. According to the luck on the head, there is no outside wealth here, which is very strange.
The city's bidding will be held the day after tomorrow, and this matter is definitely a done deal. How could this happen?
Du Ruo said hello to Xiao Li and said, "Go find a clean family. I'm a little hungry. Let's have a farm meal here."
Xiao Li understood. It was a "farmhouse inn". Last year, Mr. Yuan and Mr. Du jointly opened a farmhouse inn. The business was very popular. They opened many more stores one after another. Now it has become a chain brand. It seems that Mr. Du is in the mood again today. He hurried to the front.
Du Ruo looked diagonally across the street and saw a small plaque hanging on a small house opposite with the word "Convenience Store" written on it. She walked in slowly.
The shop is not big, only about 20 square meters, with a corner counter filled with children's toys and snacks. The shelves behind the proprietress are filled with oil, salt, sauce and vinegar.
The boss lady was sitting on the small bed next to her, unpacking a sweater. When she wasn't wearing it, she would turn the yarn over so she could wear it for another year or two.
The landlady hung the wool at the head of the bed and was winding it in circles. She heard a noise at the door, turned around and saw several people coming in.
The one leading the group was a female comrade, wearing a suit with a small lapel, with her hair hanging down on her shoulders. She looked very neat and tidy, and had an indescribable charm about her. It was obvious that she was not from the country.
Following behind were a few men in black suits, similar to the bodyguards on TV. The proprietress nervously put the wool on the bed, wiped her hands twice with the towel beside her, and then walked to the front of the counter.
"Comrade, do you want to buy anything?"
Du Ruo glanced down at the counter. There were hawthorn slices, fruit leather, bubble gum, and other snacks. It was quite a complete selection. She said, "Then give me a box of bubble gum, a box of fruit leather, and a box of hawthorn slices."
The proprietress was a little surprised: "You mean a box?"
She sells them one by one here, even things like cowhide beans are only one cent or one dime a few, and you check by the number. Is this female comrade talking about a box?
Du Ruo nodded. She wanted to take it back for the children to eat. The two children at home had not eaten these down-to-earth foods for a long time. She wanted to take it back for the children to try something new.
Seeing Du Ruo nod, the proprietress was overjoyed. What a big deal! This order alone would be enough to keep her going for half a month.
The proprietress quickly pulled out a plastic bag and pulled out a large box of goods from under the counter. She took out a large box and put it into the plastic bag. When it couldn't fit, she took out another one and filled two bags. She put her hand on the counter and said, "A total of thirty-two dollars."
Du Ruo felt in his pocket, took out a hundred-dollar bill and handed it to the proprietress.
The proprietress hesitated and didn't reach out to take it. She had never seen this kind of money before. She had heard that a new kind of banknote was issued last year, and one banknote was worth one hundred yuan. But she had also heard that there were many counterfeit banknotes of this kind, and they were difficult to identify. If she got a counterfeit one, she would lose a lot of money.
Not only did she give away these bags of goods for free, but she also spent dozens of dollars. She didn't dare to accept this thing.
The lady boss said hesitantly, "I can't give the change, please..."
Du Ruo didn't care. She raised her hand and said, "Then give me two more of that cowhide bean and that peanut candy. Make up the total of one hundred yuan. No need to change."
The proprietress was both happy and worried.
What makes me happy is that this is really a big business. Looking at the appearance of this female comrade, she is not short of money. But what worries me is that people’s hearts are often distorted. What if this is fake? I will lose all the goods worth 100 yuan.
She rubbed her hands hesitantly and said hesitantly, "That big sister, can I go out and find someone to help me identify her?"
