Chapter 16 -1 016 Government Demolition_1
Lin Xiangwan became very jealous as she listened. She snatched the mirror from her son’s hand. “Have you ever seen your father? You just keep on saying ‘daddy, daddy.’ Why does every attractive thing about you come from your father? I think your nose looks especially like mine. And your mouth! Even your intelligent forehead looks like mine!”
Seeing that his mother was actually getting jealous, Lin Haoran resorted to lies. “You look like mommy too!”
“What do you mean ‘also like mommy’? You only look like me, only me!” Lin Xiangwan particularly domineeringly said.

“Okay, okay!” Lin Haoran, with his magnanimous nature, decided to let things slide with his ‘girlfriend.’ His eyes shifted and he cleverly mentioned: “Actually, I wanted to ask about dad, not because I was missing him, but because I was thinking that if he were here, he would be able to handle my admission into the key primary school. Then, you wouldn’t need to get stressed out, mom!”
Key primary school…
These words were extremely heavy. They quickly crushed all her previous happiness. Good heavens, who could she ask for help?!!!
‘Ding Dong… Ding Dong…’ The doorbell rang urgently.
“Coming, coming…” Lin Xiangwan quickly slipped on her slippers and rushed to open the door.
Upon opening the door, she saw the fifty-year-old building director standing outside. “Miss Lin, it’s good that you’re at home!”
“Aunt Huang, is there anything you need?” Lin Xiangwan politely questioned.
The Residential Area she lived in was old, and didn’t have property management. If there were any issues within the Residential Area, they were always communicated by the building director.
“Well, I’m here to tell you that our Residential Area is scheduled to be demolished by the government. Tomorrow, we’ll have a meeting in the car shed downstairs!”
“Demolition?” Lin Xiangwan raised her eyebrow. “Why haven’t I heard about this before?”
“We just received the notice too. Look, this is the notice, you can check it.” The building director handed her a photocopy of the official notice.
Lin Xiangwan took it. On the document, only the meeting time and location were mentioned, with no further details. “After the demolishment, will we be relocated?”
The building director wavered, “I’m not sure about that, they will explain it in detail tomorrow!”
“Oh, okay. Got it!”
The next morning at eight o’clock, quite a crowd had already gathered in the car shed downstairs.
Staff from the relocation office shouted out to the crowd to keep order at the makeshift meeting site. Once everyone settled down, they made the following announcement: “During the demolition process, each household will be compensated based on the number of people registered at the address. Each person will receive 400,000 Yuan in compensation. The more people listed on a household registration, the more compensation…”
400,000 Yuan is a considerable amount of compensation. If a household has five people, that’s an immediate two million Yuan, something larger families would happily accept.
This building was actually housing for employees of a state-owned enterprise from the last century. Each family didn’t have individual property rights; they only had collective ones.
Which means, the land itself was originally state-owned property, so there’s no way to calculate compensation based on square footage.
For households with fewer registered inhabitants, this would of course not be beneficial.
For instance, the house Lin Xiangwan purchased had over seventy square meters. Based on market value, it should be worth at least one and a half million Yuan. According to their compensation scheme, she would only get eight hundred thousand Yuan!
Apart from that, she also owned a small shop on the ground floor, which was over a hundred and twenty square meters. However, the developers claimed it was refurbished property and couldn’t be compensated like a regular storefront. The most they could compensate her was one and a half million Yuan.
What kind of joke were they playing? How could she possibly agree to this?
Unsurprisingly, Lin Xiangwan refused to sign the agreement and joined the group of holdouts who were refusing to move.
All the holdouts echoed the same sentiment: “We can move, but they cannot calculate the compensation per person. They have to compensate us at least twenty thousand Yuan per square meter, otherwise we absolutely won’t move!”
…
“Damn it, do these troublemakers think they’re simply robbing money? They’re squatting in dangerous buildings, but dare to demand compensation of twenty thousand Yuan per square meter, what are they thinking?” the person in charge of the demolition project complained angrily. “They must never have seen money in their lives!”
The leader from the department of real estate turned to the boss of the development company. “CEO Qin, you see… we really can’t handle these people. Could you perhaps offer a bit more compensation? If they make a scene, it won’t be good for us either!”
Qin Muchuan narrowed his brows slightly, tapping the cigarette between his fingers. “I’m already offering fair compensation, so there’s no room for increase!”
“That would make things really difficult for us. CEO Qin, could you consider a slight adjustment…” the Party Secretary of Jiangcheng City said with a smile.
“That’s your problem!” Qin Muchuan did not soften his attitude at all, leaving no room for negotiation!
The compensation he was offering was already very generous. These people were only leeching off the situation, having taken their cut. Considering they took advantage of the situation, there was no reason he should bear the burden alone!
“Well…” The leaders from the city department didn’t dare to speak up, they would just have to suffer silently and figure out a solution!
Who asked for this CEO Qin to have such an unusual background? The man had connections in the central government; all they can do was ingratiate themselves with him!
Despite the Party Secretary’s humiliation, he had to carry on meekly. “The discussion took up the entire morning. Let’s eat and discuss the remaining issues and how to move forward!”
Qin Muchuan lifted his wrist to check the time. “I apologize for the inconvenience, but I have to fly to Sanya soon. My subordinates will take care of the remaining issues. We’ll have dinner another day. I hope you’ll grant me this favor, Secretary Zhou!”
“Of course! Of course!” Secretary Zhou managed to say through a strained grin.
Without any further small talk, Qin Muchuan left the Party Secretary’s office.
“Mr. Qin, where are we heading now?” the assistant asked, a bit confused.
Flying to Sanya? How could he not know about that? He hadn’t booked any plane tickets?
Qin Muchuan got in the backseat and, after the assistant started the car, replied: “Let’s take a tour around Yufeng Street!”
“Oh, okay!” The assistant responded, slightly stunned.
Yufeng Street was the area Huatai Group was planning to develop. For every project, his boss had the habit of visiting the site once.
Of course, almost any developer would have such a habit.
However, it seemed that there was no need for the boss to personally make a trip for such a small project, was there?
Qin Muchuan understood his assistant’s confusion.
Jiangcheng City was, in fact, his second hometown. His mother was born here, and he spent a lot of time living in Yufeng District with her when he was a child.
The old house he lived in then was also included in the area included in this current redevelopment project.
He had a deep sentimental attachment to this place.
The car soon entered an older area of the city. In the middle of the day, there were not many people or cars around, creating a rare oasis of tranquility in the city.
Wafts of cooking smells emanated from a small restaurant nearby. The familiar scent nudged Qin Muchuan out of the business car.
“CEO!” the assistant called out, puzzled.
Qin Muchuan waved his assistant away. “You can go. I’ll call you when I need you!”
