Free Web NovelChapter 580: Chapter 245: It’s Ten Buildings, Not Ten Apartments (Part 2)
Since the City Government has decided not to demolish Chen Family Village but to demolish the steel factory apartments instead, they’re obviously not going to change this decision easily.
Besides, looking at the actual situation, Yang Chen is the sole owner of the steel factory apartments, so as long as he agrees and signs, the relocation can be completed.
But in Chen Family Village, there are so many people with different ideas, each greedier than the last, which is clearly troublesome.
If anyone were responsible for this relocation, they would definitely prefer to demolish Yang Chen’s house rather than those of the villagers.
Yang Chen followed Chen Guangshou’s vehicle to the City Government’s relocation office and signed all the relocation agreements.
After signing the agreement, Yang Chen’s five old, run-down buildings turned into ten newly built accommodation houses.
Yang Chen left with all the documents related to the ten buildings and planned to have Yu Shishi handle the property certificates later.
Having just acquired ten new villas, Yang Chen couldn’t resist going to take a look.
Yang Chen followed the navigation and found the Longteng Garden community.
According to Chen Guangshou’s introduction, this community was specifically built for the relocation of Chen Family Village.
Originally, they wanted to call it Chen Family Garden, but the people of Chen Family Village didn’t want such a rustic name.
Since there was an overpass next to the community, someone suggested calling it Longteng Garden.
If Yang Chen thinks the name doesn’t sound good, he can apply to change it later.
Yang Chen thought Longteng Garden sounded pretty good, so he decided to stick with the name.
Chen Guangshou had already called the property manager of Longteng Garden to notify them to prepare for the new homeowner.
Sure enough, the staff at Longteng Garden’s property management had already started to get busy.
The property manager shouted loudly, "Everyone, hurry up! These are the relocated people. They’re from the same village and have a strong sense of unity, making them trickier than apartment owners. We must satisfy them, or our future work will be difficult!"
The staff quickly sped up, putting up the prepared banners, laying out the red carpet, and playing "Ten Good Days Today" on the loudspeakers, trying to finish all the preparations quickly.
Over an hour later, Yang Chen drove up to the entrance of Longteng Garden.
Looking at the banner hung at the entrance, Yang Chen couldn’t help but laugh.
"The Descendants of the Dragon live in Longteng Garden. Welcome home, homeowners!"
Seeing Yang Chen’s car slowly driving in, the property manager immediately urged everyone to get animated.
The property staff, cleaning aunties, and security uncles all waved their flags and shouted.
"Welcome home, homeowner! Welcome home, homeowner..."
Yang Chen rolled down the car window, nodded at everyone, and drove in to take a look around, to see how the environment of his community was, hoping they didn’t cut corners just because it’s accommodation housing.
After Yang Chen’s car drove in, there weren’t any other cars or people arriving for a while.
"Manager, why is it taking so long?"
"Where’s everyone else?"
"Could it be that he’s the only one willing to relocate?"
...
The manager looked puzzled as well, quickly moving to the roadside and looking in both directions to find no large-scale traffic or pedestrians coming through.
This is strange. Since today is the day for homeowners to receive their houses, why did only one person come?
The manager quickly called Chen Guangshou and asked, "Director Chen, we’ve prepared thoroughly to welcome the homeowners back home. Why hasn’t anyone arrived yet?"
Chen Guangshou: "Huh? No one? Didn’t a JAC Ruifeng S3 come through? He said he was going."
Manager: "Yes, a JAC car did indeed come in fifteen minutes ago, but no one has come since. We’ve used up all the props needed to welcome the homeowners, and only one person has come. What about the others? We can’t prepare a separate welcome for each one?"
Chen Guangshou: "Haha... that’s right! He’s the homeowner! All ten buildings are his."
Manager: "Ah? Wha... what? All ten buildings are his? Director Chen, you’re kidding me, right? Ten buildings, each with Blocks 1, 2, 3, and 4, and each block with 12 units, making a total of 480 units. You’re telling me they belong to one person? How is that possible?"
Chen Guangshou: "Haha... Perhaps poverty has limited your imagination. But that’s the truth. He bought the five steel factory apartment buildings. Based on the one-for-two exchange rate, those ten buildings are precisely all his. So you must work well and also please him. Whether you can continue running property management in that community entirely depends on him. In other communities, it requires a vote from the homeowners, but in this one, a decision from him alone suffices. Understand?"
The manager instantly became unsettled, as the wealth of the rich exceeded his imagination.
Ordinary people may need to empty their family’s savings from three generations just to buy one home, and might still have to take out a loan.
Yet here, some individual owns ten buildings in one go; truly a world of difference.
Manager: "Thank you for the reminder, Director Chen. I know what to do now."
Chen Guangshou nodded and hung up the phone.
The manager looked up at the sky to prevent tears from falling, thinking, "Oh God, I’ve worked hard for ten years and still don’t own a home. Yet here someone owns ten buildings at once; it’s just too unfair, isn’t it?"
The property staff watched as the manager gazed blankly at the sky, all feeling confused.
"What’s the manager doing? Is there a plane in the sky?"
"The manager’s eyesight is amazing; daring enough to look directly at the sun, doesn’t it hurt his eyes?"
"I know him; when he’s upset, he gazes up at the sky, saying it prevents tears from falling."
"Huh? So why does he want to cry?"
...
While everyone was whispering, the manager adjusted his emotions and walked over.
