Rewarding Five Old, Dilapidated Apartments? Waiting for Demolition, Huh?_What’s Wrong with a Ride-Hailing Driver Having Some Money?

Rewarding Five Old, Dilapidated Apartments? Waiting for Demolition, Huh?

Yang Chen walked down with a smile, patted Hong Junle on the shoulder, and said, “Come, sit down.”

Hong Sitong also quickly greeted him, very politely saying to Yang Chen, “Mr. Yang, I apologize. I failed to teach my son properly, and he offended you due to a misunderstanding. My son and I apologize to you, hoping that you can forgive us for the sake of the eldest lady and because my son didn’t know your identity. If you have any requests, please feel free to make them. We will do our best to satisfy them, as long as Mr. Yang can calm down and forget the unpleasantness of last night.”

Xue Yinong also said with a smile, “Mr. Yang, please be understanding since Ah Le didn’t know your identity.”

Yang Chen nodded with a smile, signaling the three of them to sit down.

Yu Shishi brewed some fresh tea and poured it for Yang Chen and the others, then went upstairs to get busy.

Yang Chen said with a smile, “Since Brother Le has already been punished, let’s let bygones be bygones.”

Hong Junle: “Thank you, Brother Chen, thank you, Brother Chen. Brother Chen, you can call me Xiao Le, Lele, anything is fine. Don’t call me Brother Le, I can’t handle that.”

Yang Chen: “Haha… Alright, Xiao Le it is then. I heard from them that you hang out around Mingcui Fang [a popular entertainment district], is that right?”

Hong Junle: “Yes! My KTV and stuff are all in that area.”

Yang Chen: “Then are you interested in exploring some new business opportunities?”

Hong Junle shook his head, just about to speak, when Hong Sitong kicked him and scolded, “Think before you speak!”

Hong Junle quickly said, “Yes, I am!”

He looked very reluctant, and Yang Chen didn’t want to say anything more.

“Forget it, everyone has their own ambitions. If Xiao Le himself doesn’t have any ideas in this regard, it might not work out even if we force him,” Yang Chen said.

Xue Yinong rolled her eyes at Hong Junle. He’s already in his twenties, how could he be so stupid?

Someone like Mr. Yang offering a new business opportunity would definitely lead to big profits, yet he actually shook his head. She really didn’t know how he grew up to be so big, so foolish.

Hong Sitong was so angry that his face turned red. Mr. Yang is so awesome. If they could bypass the Xue family and cooperate directly with him, it would greatly benefit the Hong family’s future.

This disappointing thing actually shook his head, wanting to miss such a good opportunity?

Hong Sitong quickly said, “Xiao Le means he doesn’t want to expand into the entertainment industry. If there are other types of businesses, he would definitely want to try. Young people should try more things, whether they succeed or fail, they must dare to do it.”

Hong Junle understood his father’s meaning and quickly said, “Brother Chen, if there’s anything I can do, Xiao Le is willing to do anything.”

This guy is really adaptable.

Last night in Mingcui Fang, his smug expression was extremely arrogant.

Now he’s being so humble and ingratiating to Yang Chen, it’s extremely pathetic.

Yang Chen said with a smile, “Alright then, I’ll say it. Mingcui Fang’s reputation in the jade gambling world is ruined. If a new jade gambling shop appears at this time, it will definitely be able to replace it. I just partnered with a jade mine in Southern Myanmar, and I can supply goods from there. You can open a new jade gambling shop next to Mingcui Fang. Same old rules, I never take all the profits for myself.

I want 100% of the voting rights, but I can give you 49% of the profit sharing rights. As for how you divide it, that depends on your respective investment ratios. I wonder if you are interested?”

Hong Sitong quickly said, “Mr. Yang is indeed a young hero. Every move you make is shocking. Mingcui Fang has the best reputation and largest scale among the jade gambling shops in Haicheng and the surrounding cities. On the surface, the boss is Qin Sifeng. But in reality, the behind-the-scenes boss is Tang Chengbao, the second son of the Tang family in Haicheng, who is also the younger brother of the Tang family head, Tang Chenghu. Mingcui Fang is currently facing a crisis of trust, which is indeed a good opportunity for us. However, if we open next to Mingcui Fang, it would undoubtedly be declaring war on them. If the Tang family intervenes at that time, we might also have some trouble. The Tang family has a strong background, and we would definitely have a hard time dealing with them. Therefore, I suggest avoiding Mingcui Fang and opening elsewhere. What does Mr. Yang think?”

The Tang family?

That would be Tang Xia’s family, right?

Yang Chen: “I don’t care if it’s the Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming, or Qing dynasty [referring to different Chinese dynasties, implying he doesn’t care about their power], I definitely can’t let Mingcui Fang get away with being so unruly. Our jade gambling shop has to be opened next to Mingcui Fang, otherwise there’s no need to open it at all. Of course, we can’t force anything. I’m just extending an invitation. If you think we can cooperate, then we’ll cooperate. If you don’t think we can cooperate, I definitely won’t force you to cooperate with me. Miss Xue has always been very good to me, so I will definitely consider her first when I do new projects. You have a close relationship with the Xue family, and Xiao Le hangs out in that area, so that’s why I brought you along. It’s up to you to choose, I won’t force you.”

Hong Sitong looked at Xue Yinong. The Hong family itself doesn’t have any power to speak of; they rely on the Xue family.

So, now it depends on what Xue Yinong means. If she thinks it can be done, then they’ll do it. If she doesn’t want to do it, the Hong family definitely can’t do it either.

A steward definitely can’t bypass the master and cooperate with others, or they wouldn’t want to continue working there.

Xue Yinong didn’t speak; she was considering whether the Xue family could withstand the Tang family’s retaliation.

If it’s just a competition of economic strength, the Xue family is naturally not afraid of the Tang family.

The problem is that the Tang family has a military background, while the Xue family doesn’t.

If it really comes down to it, the Xue family will definitely suffer in this regard.

After careful consideration, Xue Yinong said to Yang Chen, “Achen, if I’m in danger, will you do everything you can to save me?”

Yang Chen nodded and said, “Except for exchanging a life for a life, I can give everything to save you.”

If money is gone, Yang Chen can earn it back quickly.

He would never give his life for anyone, not even Xue Yinong, let alone his little aunt and cousin.

Xue Yinong nodded with a smile and said, “I wouldn’t let you save me even if it took your life. I would end it myself. Alright, let’s do it! However, it’s best to bring in more partners. For example, Qiu Yuhong, Zhang Xiang, etc. The more complex the power, the more the Tang family will be afraid. If it really comes down to a showdown, they wouldn’t dare to act rashly.”

Yang Chen nodded with a smile and said, “No problem, I’ll talk to them later. There’s a big show to be staged at the Godshield Security Group headquarters after twelve o’clock tonight, would you like to come and watch with me?”

Xue Yinong quickly nodded, saying, “Hehe… Okay! I love watching shows the most.”

Yang Chen: “Alright! You guys go back. You better get to Godshield Security Group before eleven o’clock; I’ll be there around that time too. Qiu Yuhong will prepare wine and dishes; we’ll eat and watch the show upstairs.”

Xue Yinong laughed happily and said, “Okay! It’s settled then!”

After seeing Xue Yinong and the others off, Yang Chen quickly came back and asked Yu Shishi to come down and make dinner.

After dinner, Yang Chen went out to drive and pick up passengers.

The passengers tonight were all very nice; everyone was very polite.

Before he knew it, it was ten o’clock, and Yang Chen was preparing to pick up a ride-along order to Godshield Security Group.

After picking and choosing, he finally found an order with a destination near Godshield Security Group.

Yang Chen quickly grabbed it and followed the navigation to pick up the passengers.

The passengers were a couple; they didn’t look very old, about thirty years old.

The male passenger looked like he had drunk a lot; his face flushed.

The female passenger looked angry.

For the first few minutes, the car was silent.

Suddenly, the man, who had been closing his eyes to rest, said very excitedly, “I’m telling you, giving your brother an apartment and a car worth more than 300,000 is absolutely impossible! I’m his brother-in-law, not his dad.”

The woman: “What are you saying? He’s my brother; you’re his brother-in-law. Why are you saying that? I only have one brother, and now his girlfriend is pregnant, and she specifically requires a fully paid three-bedroom apartment and a car no less than 300,000 before she’s willing to marry my brother. But you also know my parents’ situation; even if you sell everything they own, it’s impossible to raise enough money for the house and car. I’m their daughter; you’re their son-in-law; shouldn’t we share the responsibility for them? My parents raised me for more than twenty years, and I didn’t ask for a single cent of bride price when I married you. Now they’re really in trouble; shouldn’t you help? If you didn’t have the ability, I wouldn’t say these things. But your family’s house is about to be demolished, and you can get 5 apartments all at once; what’s wrong with giving my brother one apartment?”

The man: “Wife, I know you didn’t ask for a bride price when you married me, and I’m really grateful to you. I’ve always loved you very much, and I’ve always been very good to you. But don’t you know how much an apartment in Haicheng costs? Millions! And a car no less than 300,000; we can’t even come up with 300,000 with all our savings combined. What are you thinking?”

The woman: “Then you just take three apartments, and exchange the other two apartments for cash subsidies; wouldn’t that work?”

The man: “Oh, why can’t you understand? It’s not a matter of how many apartments, but you’re giving too much. The most I can accept is to pay the down payment for him, and then buy a car worth more than 100,000. This is all I can give him as a brother-in-law. If he’s still not satisfied, then he doesn’t have to take anything.”

The woman: “If you say that, then we can only get a divorce. I’ll divide half of the family property, and I can still give my brother an apartment and a car. Think about it carefully. Are you going to give it to him willingly, or are you going to lose both your money and your wife?”

The man: “What if my family didn’t have a demolition? What if we didn’t have apartments and cash? Wouldn’t your brother get married then?”

The woman: “There’s no what if; now your family is going to be demolished, you have these things, you have to give them. I only have one brother; I have to take care of him.”

The man stared blankly at his wife, who was looking out the window, and he probably felt heartbroken at this moment.

What this woman said was really infuriating. Yang Chen had only seen such news cases online before, but he didn’t expect to encounter them in reality.

Yang Chen said with a smile, “Brother, divorce is good; isn’t this a double blessing? Congratulations, congratulations. If you need a lawyer, I can introduce you to one. That big internet celebrity lawyer Zhang Xiang, he handled a case for me before; I can introduce him to you. Since the apartments are your parents’, then it has nothing to do with your wife. Getting a divorce now is a good thing for you. A man’s three greatest joys in life are promotion, wealth, and the death of his wife [a somewhat cynical saying]. Now the initiative is in your hands; why are you being so passive? A woman who truly loves you and wants to live with you would never be so unreasonable and force you. Since she doesn’t love you, why waste your time and emotions on her? You’re both not very old, and life is still long. Make a clean break, so you don’t suffer from it later.”

Eh?

After hearing what Yang Chen said, the man’s eyes lit up instantly and said, “Brother, after your analysis, I suddenly feel enlightened. My parents’ old house is being demolished; I don’t even have the right to share it, why should she share it? Haha… Chen Min, what did you say just now? You want to divorce me, right?”

The woman’s face immediately changed, and she leaned on the man’s shoulder with a flattering expression, acting coquettishly, “Oh, you’re so annoying. I was just joking with you; did you really take it seriously? You’re so good to me; I can never find another person who’s so good to me; how could I divorce you? Actually, after thinking about it carefully, my brother is also an adult, and he should really take on the responsibility of supporting his family. We can’t help him for the rest of our lives. What you said just now about giving them a down payment and a car worth more than 100,000, I’ve definitely done my best. Let’s do it that way; I’ll call my mom tomorrow and tell her.”

The man cleared his throat and said, “I’ve changed my mind now. I’ll give a maximum of 200,000; he can buy a car himself, or he can use it to make a down payment for an apartment. The choice is entirely up to him.”

The woman exclaimed, “Two hundred thousand? Husband, that’s too little. An apartment in Haicheng costs millions, and you’re only giving a mere two hundred thousand; what apartment can he buy?”

The man: “I can’t control that; that’s the most I’ll give, take it or leave it.”

The woman was dumbfounded and didn’t know what to say.

The old house is in her in-laws’ names, so the apartments and cash that are divided will have nothing to do with the son and daughter-in-law who have already moved their household registration to the city.

Now she can only endure temporarily, and when the apartments and cash come down, she’ll find a way to get them and then secretly give them to her brother.

The woman leaned on her husband’s shoulder, but her eyes were full of resentment, and she kept glaring at Yang Chen’s profile.

If it weren’t for Yang Chen’s meddling, her husband’s IQ wouldn’t have been able to think of so much.

“Damn driver! Just you wait, see if I don’t give you a bad review!” the woman thought to herself.

Soon, they arrived at their destination.

“We’re here. Please check your belongings carefully, and don’t leave anything behind,” Yang Chen said.

The man smiled happily and said, “Brother, thank you. I wish you smooth driving and financial freedom soon.”

Yang Chen nodded with a smile and said, “Thank you. Then I also wish you an early demolition compensation and a happy and fulfilling family.”

The two passengers got out of the car and left, and Yang Chen drove straight to the Godshield Security Group two kilometers away.

Just as he arrived at the gate of Godshield Security Group, the BEEP platform system reminded Yang Chen that he had received a bad review.

“Damn driver, showing off, aren’t you? Meddling and gossiping, extremely annoying. I was about to succeed; it’s all your fault for meddling. This bad review is the punishment for your meddling. Drive honestly in the future, and don’t meddle in passengers’ private affairs. I’m telling you, everything you said is bullshit, he has to give me what I want! Poor thing, you’re destined to drive a ride-hailing car for the rest of your life. You can’t possibly have a house to be demolished even if you live three more lives. Trash.”

This woman is quite vengeful; she even had to rant in the bad review.

At this time, the system issued a reminder.

“Congratulations to the host for receiving a bad review; the system rewards the host with five old, dilapidated apartments. Please go to the Anjia Tianxia Real Estate Agency’s main store tomorrow to collect the property ownership certificates and other materials.”

Yang Chen smiled happily, but then frowned.

Damn it, this system is really interesting; since it’s rewarding apartments, why not reward new apartments, but give five old, dilapidated ones instead?

“I’m really impressed; am I supposed to guard these five old, dilapidated apartments and wait for demolition? How long will that take?” Yang Chen muttered to himself.

The system, which always strives to be strong, would definitely not reward five old, dilapidated apartments for no reason; they will definitely be needed later.

At this time, the guard came over, verified Yang Chen’s identity, and then quickly opened the door to let him in.

“A friend of mine will be coming later, a lady, surnamed Xue. Just let her in directly,” Yang Chen said.

The guard nodded, and Yang Chen drove in.

It’s ten fifty now, and Qin Sifeng and his gang haven’t arrived yet.

Yang Chen parked the car and walked towards the office building door.

Qiu Yuhong and Qiu Tian saw Yang Chen coming and quickly ran over to greet him.

“Brother Chen, you’re here,” Qiu Tian said with a smile.

Qiu Yuhong also greeted with a smile, “Mr. Yang, good evening.”

Yang Chen looked at the busy little brothers and asked, “What are they doing?”

Qiu Yuhong replied with a smile, “Qin Sifeng and the others all brought weapons, so we have to take precautions. Our company can legally possess them, but they can’t. When their weapons are confiscated, we’ll show off to them.”

Yang Chen: “Haha… That’s interesting; you two really know how to play.”

“Haha…” The Qiu family father and son laughed in unison.

Qiu Tian: “Dad, you go up with Brother Chen; I’ll watch here.”

Qiu Yuhong: “Okay. Then you have to keep an eye on things; just put on an empty show to scare them.”

Qiu Tian: “Got it. I’ll have them check one by one in front of me.”

Qiu Yuhong nodded and smiled, beckoning Yang Chen to go upstairs.

Qiu Yuhong had arranged tables and chairs on a large balcony on the sixth floor, where Yang Chen could sit, eat, drink, and watch the show below.

This height was just right, not too high to hear what they were saying, and not too low to affect the view.

“Thank you, Director Qiu; you’ve really put in the effort. Miss Xue will be coming later; please add a set of tableware,” Yang Chen said with a smile.

Qiu Yuhong: “You’re welcome. This is all my duty. Then I’ll ask someone to add a set of tableware. Mr. Yang, have a drink of water; I’ll be right back.”

Yang Chen nodded with a smile, and Qiu Yuhong quickly left.

A few minutes later, Qiu Yuhong came with Xue Yinong, who was dressed to the nines.

Xue Yinong was born with a silver spoon in her mouth. It’s no exaggeration to say that from the moment she was formed in her mother’s womb, she received an education that ordinary families could not provide.

Therefore, she is not only beautiful, but also exudes an intellectual beauty, as well as a noble and elegant temperament that keeps people at a distance.

This feeling and temperament are closely related to the family environment, and it’s not something that can be cultivated casually.

“Achen, you’re here so early,” Xue Yinong said with a smile, exuding a mature charm like a big sister in every gesture.

Yang Chen very gentlemanly got up and pulled out a chair, beckoning Xue Yinong to sit down.

“I just arrived too, not long ago. Miss Xue looks really beautiful tonight; it makes my heart flutter,” Yang Chen said with a smile.

Xue Yinong gently covered her mouth with her finger, chuckled, and said, “Are you saying that I’m not beautiful in person, and I have to be carefully dressed up to be beautiful?”

Yang Chen: “That’s different. Miss Xue is beautiful even when she’s not dressed up, but she’s even more exquisite after being dressed up.”

Seeing Yang Chen and Xue Yinong chatting so well, Qiu Yuhong, who had originally planned to accompany them, very wisely didn’t want to be a third wheel.

“Mr. Yang, Miss Xue, it’s very busy downstairs, and Xiao Tian is still young; I’m a little worried. I’ll go down and keep an eye on things; I won’t entertain you, haha,” Qiu Yuhong said with a smile.

Yang Chen nodded and said, “Okay, Director Qiu, go and get busy. Be sure to grasp the scale and don’t let the situation get out of control. Understand?”

Qiu Yuhong nodded and said, “Mr. Yang, don’t worry; I will definitely control the situation.”

Yang Chen nodded, and Qiu Yuhong quickly went down.

At this time, the meal that Qiu Yuhong had ordered from the hotel was delivered.

Yang Chen and Xue Yinong looked at the beautiful night view with lights, and chatted while eating.

Soon, twelve o’clock passed.

Cars gradually drove into the gate of Godshield Security Group; it seemed that Qin Sifeng and his gang of jade players had arrived.

“They’re here; looks like there are quite a few people,” Xue Yinong said with a smile.

Yang Chen: “It’s good to have more people; it’s more lively, and the show will be better.”

Xue Yinong smiled slightly and said, “Are you really not afraid of the Tang family’s military background at all?”

Yang Chen: “As long as Godshield Security Group’s overseas mercenary business isn’t lost, I don’t have to be afraid of anyone. If the Tang family really dares to touch me, I’ll issue a kill order and let the overseas mercenaries destroy them. I believe that when a family is strong enough, no one will really act rashly. If there’s even a little possibility of negotiation, they will definitely sit down and talk slowly, rather than fight to the death.”

The Tang family still has more than 2 billion yuan of funds operating in Xingchen Investment, and Yang Chen has a close relationship with Tang Xia, so her second uncle can’t possibly bypass Tang Chenghu and directly oppose Yang Chen!

Therefore, Yang Chen is not afraid of the Tang family at all. Now he wants to take the opportunity to eliminate Mingcui Fang and do his own jade gambling business.

After playing with jade gambling, Yang Chen also fell in love with it.

This thing is really good for making money; those players are no different from gamblers, and it’s difficult for a jade gambling shop to lose money.

Yang Chen has already taken control of Jiaye Mining Group in Southern Myanmar; wouldn’t it be a waste of a money-making opportunity if he didn’t make good use of it?

Xue Yinong nodded in approval and said, “Achen, you are the most outstanding man I have ever met, without exception.”
