Back to the prime of life

Chapter 46 Call, Demolition!
December 12th is coming soon.

Before this, Cheng Yongyi, a local, had already planned today's itinerary.

As agreed, their group of fourteen people gathered at the school gate at 3 pm that day.

In fact, Jiangxi University of Technology is located in the central urban area, not far from the bustling Zhongshan Road. It takes about half an hour to get there by taking bus No. 38.

The reason they set off at 3 o'clock was because they planned to first stroll around the ancient city gate on the moat.

Zhongshan Road is very prosperous and modern, but it lacks distinctiveness. This kind of commercial street can be found in every big city.

The ancient city gate is different. There are small bridges and flowing water with Jiangnan characteristics, relatively well-preserved historical buildings, and the most authentic local cuisine.

The most special thing is that you can release water lanterns along the canal.

Lu Changge had been in Jiangzhou for a long time, so he was familiar with where the fun places were and where the food was good. However, Cheng Yongyi was more enthusiastic, so he was happy to take a break.

Yin Anyan must have dressed up a little today. She no longer tied her hair into a ponytail, but left her hair long and draped over her shoulders. Her woolen coat was also very attractive, which immediately caught Lu Changge's eyes.

Moreover, they both wore the scarves given by the other party, and a little ambiguity was hidden in it, which was chewed out into silky sweetness.

Fourteen people couldn't walk in a single row, so everyone separated themselves according to their relationships. Yin Anyan naturally walked with Lu Changge. Everyone couldn't help but be excited about going out to play, jumping up and down along the way.

"Secretary Yin, you look especially beautiful today."

"Does it look good?" she asked, blinking her watery eyes.

The word "graceful and graceful" is also embodied in her.

"It looks good, but not as good-looking as me."

Lu Changge suddenly remembered this clichéd classic love phrase which is not popular yet, and he said it as soon as it came to his lips.

Yin Anyan was indeed puzzled, "Why?"

"Because it's you in my eyes."

The reason why classics are classics is that they are deeply rooted in people's hearts. One answer made her heart beat fast.

Qin Jun caught this scene and started to tease, "Look, look, Lu Changge doesn't talk much usually, but when he meets Yin Anyan, he makes her face blush."

His girlfriend Cui Lanxia continued to add fuel to the fire, saying, "That's only if they want to hear it."

Yin Anyan didn't know what to say at this moment. He could only put his hands in his pockets, tuck his chin into his scarf and smile quietly.

Li Ming, the chatterbox, yelled, "Old Lu, can you please let me hear what you just said?"

Lu Changge rudely joked with him: "You don't have a girlfriend, what's the point of listening to it?"

"Depend on!"

"Hahaha."

Anyway, we just quarrel and laugh, it's quite fun.

Throughout the journey, Cheng Yongyi also became the temporary leader. He kept introducing stories about local attractions, speaking clearly and eloquently.

Yin Anyan was from another place, so after hearing this he said, "I didn't expect there were so many famous people here."

"After all, it's a famous historical and cultural city, famous since ancient times."

"If Cheng Yongyi hadn't told me, I wouldn't have known about it."

Lu Changge leaned in closer and whispered, "This guy has also been studying intensively in the past week."

"what?"

Secretary Yin was surprised at first, and then laughed helplessly. She also knew that Cheng Yongyi had always been such a flirtatious person.

As they were walking, Lu Changge's phone rang and he took two steps back to answer it.

The person on the other end of the line sounded very official, probably a woman of advanced age. "Excuse me, is this Mr. Lu… Chang (Zang) Ge?"

His voice had a local flat and rounded tone without any accent, and he even mispronounced his name.

"It's me, Lu Changge. May I ask who you are?"

"Oh, sorry, that word has multiple pronunciations. Um, I'm from the Xingshan Town Demolition Office. Your knitting factory is involved in the demolition. Are you aware of this? We've posted a demolition notice according to procedure, and it contains all the relevant information. Have you seen it?"

Lu Changge stopped.

He had been waiting for this call for a long time.

He never expected it to be at this time. He thought everyone would come out to celebrate the festival, and it would take at least until January. Now it seems that the government is still working according to weekday hours.

"I know about the demolition. What should we do now?" He tried to keep his voice steady.

"I know. That's great. Are you in Jiangzhou? A factory like yours needs an assessment before demolition. You need to open the door and let us in. It's just to measure the area and see what the structure of the building is like. It's pretty simple."

"I'm in Jiangzhou, but you shouldn't be working on New Year's Day. Feel free to contact me after the holiday and I'll go open the door." "Okay, then you agree to the demolition. I'll take note of that."

Lu Changge said, "You represent the government, so isn't that just expropriation and demolition? It's not demolition by agreement. What's the use of my disagreement?"

There are two types of demolition: one is expropriation demolition, which is done by the government, and the other is agreement demolition, which is done by developers.

In government-led demolitions, there are generally very few buildings that cannot be demolished.

The other end chuckled, "You're quite knowledgeable. However, those of us who do the actual work usually have to first understand the wishes of the people being relocated according to the higher-ups."

"It's okay, just take it as your consent."

In fact, he could also pretend that he was unwilling to have the house demolished, become a nail house owner, and then ask for more money.

There is a probability,
But it is not necessary.

There is no need to discuss these matters with the grassroots staff, because they are also cattle and horses, with no power or courage to make decisions.

As long as you pay attention to the policies and take full advantage of them, there will generally not be much difference.

This is the case in Jiangzhou, but 960 million square kilometers is too large, and he has no way of knowing what the situation is in other areas.

After hanging up the phone, Lu Changge took a deep breath. Although his stocks were also rising and his savings in his previous life exceeded 800,000, the growth of wealth represented by stocks and deposits took a long time.

But now he gets so much money as a boss, there is still a difference between the two.

happy?

Happy, so happy that my fists were clenched.

He may not have the excitement of a teenager, but the more life experience he has, the more he can understand the practical significance of this wealth from a social perspective.

However, Lu Changge also felt that this sudden surge in wealth made him feel very "empty" and not real enough.

Just the second before, he might have just enough food and drink, but at this moment, 800,000 yuan in demolition compensation is about to arrive?

Really? Does he really have that much money?

Without the process of change, it seems less real.

Seeing him stop, Yin Anyan stepped back and asked, "Why aren't you leaving?"

"It's okay, it's okay." He patted his face, his expression should be relatively normal, "Let's go, let's not lose them."

The rest of the itinerary was to first visit the ancient city gate, and then have dinner at a remote restaurant called "Zhao's Gate Tower", which was recommended by Cheng Yongyi. He said it was absolutely authentic and very delicious.

He was right, because Lu Changge also knew this restaurant.

The restaurant owner's surname is Zhao. There are only four private rooms in total and no individual tables. It is run by Mr. Zhao and his wife, and they have no other helpers.

The average consumption is high.

In fact, choosing to eat here is a bit beyond the normal spending level of college students, but Cheng Yongyi is a bit... How to say it, he is not bad, but he has a bit of superiority intentionally or unintentionally.

Qin Jun had complained to Lu Changge earlier, saying, "We'll see when the time comes, this kid will definitely tell me how often he comes or something."

Anyway, it means that you can afford it.

Lu Changge didn't care. Any child under twenty would want to feel a sense of existence, but everyone had different ways of finding it. Of course, going too far was definitely not an option.

He still remembers that he had to make reservations in advance to dine at this restaurant.

The reason is naturally that it is delicious, authentic and healthy.

There are two advantages to not having a large quantity: one is that you can cook it slowly, for example, some meat needs to be simmered over low heat. The other is that the ingredients can be purchased from local farmers, so they are very fresh.

In his previous life, Lu Changge would only come here when he was inviting leaders.

When he arrived at the restaurant and walked in, he saw Lao Zhao, who was a dozen years younger. He was not that fat yet, but because of his big face, he looked not thin anymore. When he smiled, his eyes narrowed into slits, which made him look very friendly.

He kept smiling and nodding at them, saying, "Please come in, please come in."

"Boss Zhao, let's prepare the Biluo shrimp and cherry meat first." Lu Changge almost blurted out to call him Lao Zhao, but fortunately he thought for a moment before speaking.

"Yes, yes. Don't worry, boss." Old Zhao also responded enthusiastically.

After arriving at the box, Cheng Yongyi started talking about how good this place was, why it was expensive, and when he came. Qin Jun rolled his eyes when he heard it, and Li Ming was also quite helpless.

Later, even Yin Anyan, who was sitting next to him, whispered, "Cheng Yongyi talks too much."

Lu Changge saw that he was getting a little carried away. Perhaps the large crowd today had aroused his desire to show off. But he didn't consider that Qin Jun was borrowing money for his relationship, and Cui Lanxia was sitting here too. Why did he have to act like he was rich?

So later during the break, he came out and gave a cigarette to Old Zhao who was taking a break, and chatted with him casually.

Then I bought the bill.
