Car-hailing Driver: Rewards from Complaints

Chapter 579: Chapter 245: It’s Ten Apartment Buildings, Not Ten Apartments

The villagers came running over in a hurry.

"Director Chen, what are you doing here?"

"Weren’t you only supposed to demolish Chen Family Village?"

"Is this place going to be demolished too?"

...

Chen Guangshou replied very frankly: "Since the City Government can’t meet some villagers’ excessive demands, after a meeting and discussion by the city leaders, it’s been decided not to demolish Chen Family Village. Instead, we’ll demolish the steel factory’s residential buildings. Since you think your houses are nice, just keep them. Once the chip research base is built here, your Chen Family Village can engage in catering and other services, make money for a long time, and that’s a good option too."

With a chance to get rich overnight, who would want to slowly work for money?

"Leaders, you can’t do this. I’ve already spread the word, and now you say it won’t be demolished. I’ve accepted gifts; how am I supposed to explain to friends and family?"

"Exactly! I promised my future daughter-in-law to buy a villa in the city center. If you don’t demolish, where will I get the money? If I can’t keep my promise, what if she calls off the engagement?"

"We can still negotiate! If you think we’re asking for too much, we can haggle. Don’t just say it won’t be demolished."

...

Chen Guangshou replied with a smile: "This is a decision by the City Government leaders. We’re only following orders. Alright, you all go back. Don’t disrupt our important talks with the residential building’s owner."

"Where is he? We want to talk to him."

"That’s right! Call him over!"

"Who is the new owner of the steel factory’s residential buildings? If he’s a man, he’d come out and talk to us."

"That’s right, you’re brave enough to do such a disgraceful thing but afraid to face us?"

...

Oh, these villagers are quite aggressive.

Yang Chen wasn’t afraid of them in the car; he just didn’t want to waste his breath on them.

The City Government wants to demolish here, and Yang Chen is also willing to participate in the demolition. As long as they agreed, he doesn’t want to get tangled with the villagers.

Some villagers have a weak legal sense and tend to be stubborn, and you can’t communicate with them. They might even do something extreme.

But now they’re clamoring to see the new owner of the steel factory’s residential buildings, so Yang Chen couldn’t just not show up.

Just then, Chen Min, recently fired by Anjia Tianxia, returned in a taxi and, seeing all the villagers here, hurried over to watch the commotion.

Chen He’s husband, Chen He, seeing her coming back with a cardboard box, quickly asked, "What’s going on?"

Chen Min sighed and said, "Don’t even mention it! That rideshare driver we rode with last night is a rich man; he bought these five buildings. Today, he took the property deeds from our agency, and because I gave him a bad review, he got very angry, and the store manager fired me."

Chen He: "What? No way! That rideshare driver is that rich! I was saying that these Jianghuai cars looked familiar. Brother, come down and talk, don’t hide in the car."

Yang Chen opened the car door, got out, waved to the couple, and said, "What a coincidence, meeting you again."

Chen He: "It’s really you! Brother, how can a rideshare driver like you afford to buy these five buildings?"

Yang Chen: "Earn wealth through hard work. In this era, as long as you’re willing to work hard, you can achieve anything."

Everyone looked at Yang Chen with resignation. Go on, keep spinning your yarn, we’ll just quietly watch you talk nonsense.

Chen He: "Brother, you heard it last night too, my brother-in-law is waiting for a house and car to get married. If the City Government doesn’t demolish our village, where will I get the money? Please, don’t agree to the City Government’s demolition request, okay? Once we get the demolition compensation, we’ll give you 100,000 per household. That’s millions for nothing. You’ll still have these buildings to rent out in the future, and now you’ll get hundreds of thousands for nothing. Aren’t you satisfied?"

Yang Chen: "The City Government needs to demolish, and I’m also willing to demolish. It’s that simple. I don’t need to explain anything to anyone; just follow the law and the City Government’s demolition policy."

Chen He: "But if you accept the demolition, we won’t have a chance to be demolished anymore."

Yang Chen: "That’s nothing to do with me anymore. You guys discuss it; it’s not related to me."

With that said, Yang Chen turned around to get back in the car.

Seeing the demolition benefits slipping away, the villagers were very agitated, making a fuss to catch Yang Chen.

At this point, the five bodyguards responsible for protecting Yang Chen rushed over, separated the villagers, and surrounded Yang Chen in the middle.

Chen He’s face was full of bewilderment and shock: "A rideshare driver with bodyguards?"

Yang Chen: "Yes, nowadays passengers are quite difficult. If I run into someone with a bad temper, I have the bodyguards help them adjust their temper."

Everyone was shocked, thinking this rideshare driver was so arrogant.

But come to think of it, he could afford to buy five buildings, so of course, he’s got the capital to be arrogant.

Yang Chen said with a smile, "Brother Chen, I’ve got the property deeds and everything with me. If you’re going to demo, let’s do it today, save me bringing them home and then having to bring them back again another day."

Chen Guangshou: "No problem! Let’s go, I’ll take you to the demolition office right now, and we’ll sign immediately."

Under the protection of five strong men, Yang Chen got in the car and left.

Chen Guangshou quickly got into his car and followed him.

The villagers tried to block the car but were stopped by the staff from the Housing and Construction Committee and other departments.

"You can’t leave! You took away our demolition opportunity!"

"We don’t need a five-to-one compensation anymore; can we settle for three-to-one?"

"The demolition opportunity belongs to us, it can’t be taken from us!"

"No way, we’re going to complain, we’re going to fight this!"

...

The villagers roared loudly, but it was already to no avail.
