“It’s not impossible to demolish them. But I need to know approximately what conditions must be met,” Chu Ning said lightly as she leaned back in her chair.

“As long as you agree, the conditions can be discussed!”

Lin Jian was excited when he heard that Chu Ning might possibly agree. The neighborhood committee had ordered him to convince Chu Ning by hook or by crook! The reason they gave was very simple. “You sold the houses, so you should be responsible for it!”

Lin Jian hadn’t sleep well the night before, but he hadn’t dared to disturb Chu Ning.

He had only made a single call, but Chu Ning hadn’t picked up. Just as he was about to make another call that afternoon, the mysterious Chu Ning actually took the initiative to contact him!

“Tell me, if I agree to the demolition, how much will you give me per square meter?” Chu Ning asked.

“If you agree to the demolition and are willing to sign the relevant contract, we will give you a compensation of 15,000 yuan per square meter.”

After saying that, Lin Jian looked apprehensively at Chu Ning.

Chu Ning did a rough calculation.

She had spent a total of 1.54 million yuan to purchase these houses. Now, according to Lin Jian’s price of 15,000 yuan per square meter, she would receive a total of 21 million yuan in compensation for the demolition!

Chu Ning’s heart was pounding.

But her expression remained calm.

“It’s low,” Chu Ning said softly.

After hearing Chu Ning’s answer, Lin Jian gave a troubled smile. The hands that were hanging down had long been clenched into fists, and his palms were full of sweat.

The highest price that the neighborhood committee had offered was 16,000 yuan per square meter. If it exceeded this price, it meant that the negotiations could not be settled.

Lin Jian felt jittery.

Chu Ning was the same. As soon as the words had left her mouth, she felt a little regretful.

In fact, she had expected it to be 18 million. 21 million had already exceeded that by a lot, but she still wanted to take a gamble.

“16,000 yuan per square meter — this is my limit, Miss Chu. I really can’t give you much more.”

Lin Jian voice shook as he spoke, and he looked at Chu Ning pleadingly.

“Sigh.” Chu Ning exhaled, and a hint of helplessness appeared on her calm face.

“Since you once made a deal with me, I’ll reluctantly accept it,” Chu Ning said faintly. Although she appeared unruffled, her mind was racing.

She was also afraid that, if the deal didn’t go through, wouldn’t it mean that she would have to hold on to these twenty dilapidated houses? Then she would cry herself senseless in the washroom. It was useless for her to have these houses!

But it was fine now.

22.4 million. This was the compensation that Chu Ning would receive in the end.

And not long ago, she had only spent 1.54 million.

“Thank you, I will forever remember your kindness!”

The moment he obtained Chu Ning’s approval, Lin Jian almost cried with happiness. In less than half a month’s time, he had experienced such great turbulence in his life.

Fortunately, Chu Ning agreed in the end, so the remainder of his life was settled.

Chu Ning vaguely recalled that the housing prices in Bifeng District reached more than 30,000 yuan per square meter. It was almost close to 40,000 yuan. However, that was something that happened later. The fact that she was able to obtain a compensation of this price was already the largest concession and compromise that the developer and the neighborhood committee could make.

“Well, that’s it then. Didn’t you tell me over the phone that you wanted me to meet with the people of the neighborhood committee?” Chu Ning pursed her red lips and said lightly.

“Yes, yes. Since the price has been negotiated, I’ll bring you to meet them now. Moreover, this is a huge sum of money, so I’ll transfer it to you in two batches.”

Under Lin Jian’s lead, Chu Ning met with the neighbourhood committee and the developer of Bifeng District. The signing of the contract went smoothly, and Chu Ning handed over the property deeds of her twenty houses.

When she returned home that afternoon, there was no one at home. Her second brother, Chu Jing, had also gone out.

At this time, Chu Ning’s mobile phone bank sent a message: “Dear Miss/Mr. Chu Ning, XX account is transferring 400,000 yuan to you. The balance in the account is 406,519 yuan.”

After a while, Chu Ning’s mobile phone bank sent another message.

Seeing that her private account suddenly had more than 20 million yuan, the enormous wave of happiness made Chu Ning a little dizzy.
