Back to the prime of life

Chapter 62: Eat Talent

"Is there any way to ensure that the compensation is paid normally?" Lu Changge was not panicked.

If the previous one represented a physical fight and the current one represents a literary fight, then Zhou Chunjin has a smaller chance of winning because he is better at this field.

"This just happened, so we don't know yet. But I think we can start with the property rights. I'll make it clear to the leadership that there's no dispute, and then I'll go through the procedures and see."

"Then Zhou Chunjin has to step in." Zuo Shuya thought immediately, "It was because he went to the town government to cause trouble that this happened. The person who caused the trouble must be the one to untie it. If he comes to negotiate compensation with me, I will propose this condition."

Lu Changge touched his chin, frowned, and asked, "Everything has a beginning. Who ordered the suspension of demolition compensation?"

Chen Rong knew this. "It's Deputy Town Mayor Xie who's in charge of this area, but I'm not sure if he's reported this to the mayor and received his instructions."

"I heard that Zhou Chunjin and Deputy Mayor Xie don't have a special relationship. Are you sure they're not relatives?"

"They're not relatives at all. We're just from the same place and know each other, but there's definitely no special relationship. Zhou Chunjin is a boastful, gambling man, and everyone dislikes him. The leaders probably worried there might be some kind of property rights issue, or they were afraid he'd cause trouble, so they called a halt."

"In other words, Deputy Mayor Xie actually has no reason to run around for Zhou Chunjin."

"You can say that."

"The matter is very clear. It all comes down to Zhou Chunjin's doing." Zuo Shuya said hatefully.

"No, no, don't let Zhou Chunjin mess with your thinking. You two are both very clear about whether there is a property rights dispute over the factory. Think about it for a moment, is this excuse valid?"

Of course not.

But people are using this as an excuse, so there must be something fishy going on.

Chen Rong didn't understand, "What do you mean?"

"Okay, let me ask you two questions," Lu Changge stretched out his index finger and made a gesture.
"First, Sister Chen, you're in the demolition business. Are you going to label this a property rights dispute just because someone said something casually? A serious dispute requires the formal involvement of relevant departments, like a lawsuit. Otherwise, there are a lot of disputes."

Chen Rong didn't deny it. "And then?"

"Then, let's assume your leader believes there's indeed a dispute. The assessment has already been completed, and the report includes all the necessary documentation. A quick check will show that all the necessary documentation is complete, and there's no dispute."

Then he extended a second finger.

"Secondly, since Zhou Chunjin has no special relationship with Deputy Mayor Xie, he is completely irrelevant. Now that the demolition compensation has been stopped, the incident may have been caused by him causing trouble, but the purpose is unlikely to be him. Zhou Chunjin also said this: 'If I can't get a share, then you can't get it either.'

There's something wrong with this statement. Think about it carefully: if Zhou Chunjin can't get it, and I can't get it, then who can get it?"

When asked this, Zuo Shuya was stunned.

The answer is about to come out.

This, this is the referee himself coming out!
"Unlikely, not likely." Chen Rong shook her head repeatedly. "That's too exaggerated. Besides, Deputy Mayor Xie doesn't even know you. If he really wanted to do that... he would have to contact you first. While there's some truth to the two points you mentioned, I still think you're overthinking it."

Lu Changge pursed his lips and said nothing. He was observing Chen Rong's expression. She... was more or less not surprised by his analysis.

The normal reaction should be like Zuo Shuya's, right?
In fact, even if there was no such detail, for him who has been working for more than ten years, when encountering such things, he would rather believe it than not.

Because he didn't believe it, he was often disappointed.

"Since we can't be sure, then please ask Sister Chen to help submit the assessment materials for my factory and report it once. We will wait and see."

Zuo Shuya asked, "How is it, Rongrong? Are you having any difficulties?"

"Difficult... not really. I can find an opportunity to report on other work and mention it in passing. But my influence carries little weight. If you really want to get it done, you can look for any acquaintances."

Lu Changge did not express his opinion on this.

Zuo Shuya said, "Rongrong, you can report first. You are the only person we know here."

"Alright, let's leave it at that for now. What about Zhou Chunjin?" Chen Rong asked. Zuo Shuya thought for a moment and then asked, "He's said he's willing to compensate me. You know him well, what do you think?"

"If it were me... I think we could negotiate some compensation, with both sides making concessions. He must be terrified in there right now, and he'll definitely not dare cause trouble again when he gets out. But then again, if you insist on forcing a guy like that into jail, do you know what he'll do?"

"If you don't force him now, can you ensure that he won't go to extremes?" Lu Changge asked.

"He has elderly parents and children. As long as he can make ends meet, I don't think he will."

"Don't say anything, let me think about this myself," Zuo Shuya said.

Okay, it depends on her.

"Then we'll talk about it after the people he found arrives. I think it's almost five o'clock. You two have taken the trouble to take care of my business. How about I treat you today? You can order whatever you want."

"I feel embarrassed when you say that," said Chen Rong.

Zuo Shuya also advised: "It's okay, just come with me."

"Okay, I'll go to the bathroom first. Shuya, stay with me for a while."

Lu Changge couldn't get any role in this matter and could only wait outside.

Once inside, Chen Rong locked the door and immediately whispered, "Shuya, where did you find this handsome boy? He's quite smart."

"Tell me, will your leader really do what he says?"

Chen Rong's expression changed slightly, but she quickly covered it up with a smile. "I'm just worried he's right. Is he really a freshman?"

"You'll get used to it. He's never acted like a student since I met him."

Chen Rong smacked her lips. "That's great. These days, men with some success are eager to get hard, while young men who are eager to get hard are too immature. You can combine the advantages of both."

"Are you crazy? The sound insulation of this door is not that good!" Zuo Shuya was so shocked and embarrassed after hearing this that she covered her mouth directly.

Outside, Lu Changge stood on the balcony and looked out aimlessly. He found that he could see the road between two residential buildings, and across the road was the school wall of Jiang University of Science and Technology.

The weather is very good today. The unknown small trees planted by the roadside have just sprouted new buds. Under the dead branches there is a small stall selling egg-filled pancakes.

Because of the distance, Lu Changge could only vaguely make out that the person setting up the stall was an older woman who was busy all the time, and leaning against her was a child lying on a stool doing homework.

Maybe because she had been squatting for too long, the girl stood up twice and pounded her legs before continuing.

The weather was so cold that from a distance he saw the little girl curled up into a ball.

"What are you looking at?" Zuo Shuya and Chen Rong both came out.

Lu Changge did not reply to her immediately. He thought of another thing, that is, if he had not been reborn, Zhou Chunjin would indeed be able to get his demolition compensation.

"Do you believe in the saying, 'You are what you eat?'"

"I believe it." Zuo Shuya smiled. She didn't take it too seriously and just said it casually.

"If it's true that you are what you eat, then if you endure the most hardships, you won't be able to become a superior person." Lu Changge turned around and said meaningfully, "You can only become a superior person by eating people."

There is no need to think too deeply about this issue. The fact is that everyone in this society is fighting desperately for themselves, including the person who stopped the funding.

Things have come to this point, he doesn't need to be too pretentious, he can only fight and move forward.

Lu Changge concluded that Chen Rong's leader was definitely not trying to defend Zhou Chunjin, but was simply using this incident as an excuse to hold him back. And why was he so confident?
Because he knew it too well, too well, that when these people did things for no reason, there was actually only one reason.

As for Zhou Chunjin himself, he always thought that he could get something, but that was just his thought. In the end, what awaited him was either compensation or detention.
