Chapter 147 - 147 Demolition and Relocation (1)
147 Demolition and Relocation (1)
The village chief ran anxiously on the road. When he saw the Hummers parked on both sides of the road, his eyes were about to pop out.
Then, he saw two helicopters parked not far from Old Man Zheng’s house. His heart soared.
This was really a top-notch figure!
After all, he was the village chief. His horizons were definitely higher than ordinary villagers, but he was also stunned.
So this was what the rich people outside were like. It was really terrifying!
When he arrived at Old Man Zheng’s house, the village chief straightened his clothes and shouted into the courtyard, “Uncle Zheng, I heard that Jianghao and his boss are here. I specially came to welcome them!”
They had lived together for decades. Grandpa Zheng immediately recognized the village chief’s voice and welcomed him with a smile. “Is the village chief here? Quickly invite him in. Many people in our village are here!”
Grandpa Zheng’s house was an ancient brick house. It looked a little dilapidated, but it was clean.
Ye Xuan and the higher-ups of the Jinling branch company sat in the courtyard. They drank tea as they chatted.
The village chief hurriedly ran over and introduced himself to Ye Xuan.
Looking at Ye Xuan, the village chief’s heart was about to explode.
An eight or nine-year-old child was the boss of a large company!
There was also such a beautiful female secretary following beside him. Her appearance and temperament were like the seven fairies in storybooks. She was extremely fairy-like.
What a difference!
He would never have dreamed of such a strange scene, but it just had to appear in front of him.
The more the village chief thought about it, the more shocked he became, and his attitude towards Ye Xuan became even more respectful.
After entering the courtyard for a long time, Grandpa Zheng called out to him several times, but he didn’t dare to sit down. Instead, he stood respectfully at the side and carefully spoke to Ye Xuan.
Not long after, the mayor rushed over in the town’s car.
The road was rugged and bumpy, so much so that he almost fainted. “This road is too lousy. We invest money every year, but it gets worse and worse. It’s really a lousy project!”
The mayor muttered softly. He knew that the funding was decreasing, but there was nothing he could do.
There was only so much money. He had to invest it in a more rewarding place!
The old leader had said it well. He wanted a portion of people to get rich first!
Now, a big boss was willing to invest in the demolition and relocation of this village. He had helped their town a lot.
It was also because of this that the mayor rushed over.
He also hoped that the villagers would live a better life as long as he was able to contribute.
Soon, the entrance to Zhengyang Village was in front of him.
However, their car was stopped.
A few burly men in black sized up the public cars from the town with scrutinizing gazes.
They were brought by Zheng Jianghao and were in charge of Ye Xuan’s safety.
They had specially arranged for people to stay here because they were afraid that some unrelated people would squeeze into the village.
The driver in the car was a little dissatisfied with the gazes. After working in town for so many years, when had he ever received such treatment?
He rolled down the window and asked in a stiff tone, “What are you doing? What right do you have to block the road here?”
The cadre in the front passenger seat also replied angrily, “This is our mayor. Aren’t you going to move aside?”
These people were really baffling.
They even dared to stop the mayor’s car. Did they want to live a good life?
When the men heard this, their expressions darkened.
Was the mayor so impressive? The safety of their boss was the most important!
Since they were so arrogant, they shouldn’t go in.
The men were about to chase them away when they saw the back door of the car open. Then, the mayor personally got out.
He frowned and reprimanded the cadre who had spoken just now. “How can you say that? Remember this. We are the public servants of the people, not their grandfathers! When you get back, immediately reflect on yourself. What kind of attitude is this?!”
After the mayor finished teaching the cadre a lesson, he introduced himself very politely to the men. “Hello, I’m the mayor here. I came today mainly to visit your boss and discuss the specifics of demolishing and relocating Zhengyang Village with him.”
When the men heard the mayor’s words, they immediately said, “How about this? Wait here for a moment. I’ll talk to our boss.”
Soon, the men returned and said politely to the mayor, “Our boss said to invite you in.”
After obtaining Ye Xuan’s permission, the mayor brought his subordinates into Zhengyang Village.
He was also shocked by the luxurious convoy and the helicopter at the entrance.
However, he was the head of the town after all. He still had some tolerance.
Although they didn’t have such a rich man here, they had heard of him.
After stepping into Grandpa Zheng’s courtyard, everyone saw Ye Xuan surrounded in the middle.
Looking at his young age, the mayor was stunned on the spot.
Did such a little child say that he was here to engage in demolition?
Could it be that the village chief’s information was wrong and he had made a big mistake?
It wasn’t that the mayor was suspicious, but Ye Xuan’s age was too confusing!
He looked like he was eight or nine years old. Could he do such a big thing?
Even the top families in big cities probably did not have such courage!
Liu Yanran looked at the mayor’s conflicted expression and guessed what he was thinking.
She smiled disdainfully. A mayor actually judged people by their appearance. He was even worse than the village chief!
“Uh, hello, I’m the mayor here.” The mayor was stunned for a while before coming forward to greet them awkwardly.
