“You don’t need to know about this. I’ll go over at noon. You should be looking for me regarding this, right?” Chu Ning continued.

“Yes, I’ll explain the details to you first. Then, the residents committee of Bifeng District and the people from the city planning bureau will look for you to discuss the specific price.”

Over the phone, Lin Jian’s words were very vague, but he believed that Chu Ning would understand.

“No problem.” Chu Ning hung up the phone after that.

Her expression was as calm as before. She walked lightly from the living room back to her room, closing the door gently and locking it.

Then, she jumped onto the bed and buried her face in the quilt.

Chu Ning’s mother had sunned it the previous day, so Chu Ning could now smell not only the fragrance of the lavender detergent, but also the smell of sunlight.

But she felt that something was missing, so the corner of her mouth, buried beneath the quilt, slowly curled up.

And the smell of money.

At noon, Chu Ning greeted Chu Jing. She was going out that afternoon.

Upon returning, Chu Ning would be a multi-millionaire.

Although she was very happy when she first planned this, she couldn’t suppress the joy in her heart until just now.

She was finally going to earn her first bucket of gold.

When it came to her mind that she would only become richer subsequently and have a bright future, Chu Ning finally restrained the smile on her face.

“This is just the beginning,” she said to herself.

She hummed a happy tune and walked out of the house.



Bifeng District was a distance from Chu Ning’s home. In fact, it was located in a relatively remote area, at the intersection of two cities.

After sitting for more than an hour in the car, Chu Ning finally arrived at the entrance of Bifeng District.

It was quiet as usual. However, Chu Ning wouldn’t be fooled by this illusion. She knew that Bifeng District would soon be refreshed and become the core of the development linking the two cities!

After waiting for a while, Chu Ning saw Lin Jian running towards her from afar.

“Miss Chu, I’m sorry to have kept you waiting. I have too many things to do here. My apologies.”

Lin Jian panted as he spoke. Chu Ning could tell that he was indeed very busy.

The layer of oil on his face indicated that he had stayed up the previous night, likely all night. His eyes were also bloodshot. When he ran over, his speed was not fast, but it was a huge burden, physically.

“Let’s go. I’ll explain it to you briefly.” After saying that, Lin Jian led Chu Ning to a nearby tea restaurant.

In a private room, Lin Jian looked at Chu Ning and suddenly sighed helplessly.

“Miss Chu, I didn’t expect you to know about this in advance. In fact, in the entire Bifeng District, no owner would think that this place is about to be demolished, and the amount of compensation is unimaginable.”

Lin Jian took a large gulp of tea and said with lingering fear.

“This is the course of history. None of us can interfere. We can only let nature take its course.” Chu Ning nodded in agreement.

“I won’t work after the demolition here. Miss Chu, although I can’t be compared with you, the first owner of Bifeng District, I do have three houses here. After I get the compensation for the demolition of these three houses, I’ll deposit the sum in the bank to earn the interest. It’s enough for me to live a peaceful life.”

Lin Jian sighed. If he wanted to live the rest of his life comfortably, he only needed to be blessed by Lady Luck once.

He felt that it was like that for him.

He wasn’t sure if Chu Ning was she. Lin Jian felt that Chu Ning was blessed by the heavens, and she appeared to be a very calm person.

“Well, for you, it’s much better than going to work.” Chu Ning nodded.

“Then…”

Lin Jian rubbed his hands nervously, his lips quivering.

“What I mean is, do you agree to demolish these houses?” Lin Jian finally overcame his nervousness and asked this question.

The normal owners of Bifeng District had only one house, and they didn’t have riches or power. As long as the demolition order was given, if they didn’t agree, they wouldn’t be able to get a single cent!

But Chu Ning was different.

First of all, Chu Ning had two buildings in her hands, which meant having the property deeds for twenty houses. Her words carried a lot of weight. Whether it was the neighborhood committee or the developers, neither side would not take her seriously!

Moreover, Chu Ning’s background was very mysterious. Lin Jian wouldn’t, nor would he dare to investigate her.

He could only ask tentatively.
