Chapter 355 I only benefited from her influence
The sky was slightly gloomy, but the chandeliers in the shops shone brightly like stars, illuminating everything in the space with exquisite detail.
The staff of the assessment agency performed their duties diligently, their busy figures appearing orderly and efficient.
A middle-aged man with a puffy build, carrying a briefcase under his arm, led in two bodyguards, one on each side. The three of them looked around with curiosity in their eyes.
In the quiet space, the crisp sound of camera shutters could be heard from time to time. The surveyors would sometimes adjust the angle of their tools, and sometimes quickly record data in their notebooks, their expressions focused and serious.
The overweight middle-aged man turned his head and his gaze fell on Yu Huan and a thin man in a suit.
They sat facing each other, with a woman with a high ponytail standing next to them, her arms crossed, thoughtfully looking down at Yu Huan as she filled out the questionnaire.
The overweight middle-aged man thought for a moment, then turned around, stuffed the briefcase into the hands of the stubble-faced man, slowly walked away, and whispered, "You two stand here."
"Okay." Little Tyrant nodded vigorously and stood with his brother on one side of the entrance.
The middle-aged man, who was overweight and wearing hard-soled leather shoes, made a steady and powerful "clack-clack" sound with each step.
The sound of footsteps immediately attracted the attention of the woman with the high ponytail. She turned her head and exchanged a glance with the overweight middle-aged man.
The overweight middle-aged man nodded and smiled politely as he approached, looking at Yu Huan, who was engrossed in writing.
A moment later, a complex expression appeared in his eyes.
In his struggle to make a living in society, he mainly relied on his quick wit.
At this moment, it was clear that something had come up: Yu Huan actually owned property on Xiangchun Road, which was about to be demolished!
Moreover, it's such a big shop!
The middle-aged man, who had gained weight, was secretly shocked and felt a mix of emotions. He realized that his younger brother's classmate was completely unfathomable.
At the end of the questionnaire, Yu Huan carefully signed her name.
As he finished the last stroke, he slightly raised his head, his gaze quickly sweeping across the face of the overweight middle-aged man beside him.
She then handed the questionnaire to the tall, thin man across the table.
Yu Huan said half-jokingly, "I have finished my homework carefully, and I hope it will be helpful to your work."
The tall, thin man took the questionnaire, his eyes first drawn to the elegant, flowing handwriting. He smiled and said, "Thank you very much, Mr. Yu, for your cooperation. Your handwriting is really beautiful; you clearly have a good foundation."
As he spoke, his gaze slowly fell on the section regarding opinions and suggestions on the demolition work.
Upon closer inspection, a familiar tune immediately comes to mind.
Just like his boss's boss, the wording he used when giving instructions was exactly the same.
He quickly looked up and noticed that the political affiliation section was filled in as "Party member," then quickly looked back at the occupation section, which simply read: "Journalist."
No wonder.
He suppressed his surprise and asked, "Mr. Yu, if I may ask, do you work at a television station?"
Yu Huan smiled and shook her head, saying, "No, I work at a newspaper."
"Oh." A hint of surprise flashed in the tall, thin man's eyes.
Looking at this young man, with such an outstanding appearance and temperament, tall and strong, I thought he was one of those news workers from a TV station.
The woman with the high ponytail standing to the side chimed in with curiosity: "So, what does Mr. Yu mainly do at the newspaper?"
Upon hearing this, Yu Huan turned her head slightly to look at her.
I could feel that her eyes were almost brimming with tears, and they held an indescribable intensity...
Yu Huan had long noticed her excessive enthusiasm.
He's just a young, wealthy man who owns four storefronts and received compensation for his land expropriation; he's even wearing a mask so his handsome face isn't showing.
This lady, really, it can't be that serious, right?
Yu Huan subtly shifted her gaze away from the woman with the high ponytail, smiled, and said simply, "Nothing special, just a journalist."
As soon as she finished speaking, Yu Huan turned her gaze to the overweight middle-aged man standing to the side and asked knowingly, "Brother, is there anything I can help you with?"
The middle-aged man, with his slightly bulging cheeks, exuded both a rugged air and a sense of affluence.
His eyebrows were sparse but rather thick and short, and his eyes, though not large, shone with a shrewd light.
Upon hearing Yu Huan's question, even though he was called "brother," he keenly sensed that Yu Huan neither showed enthusiasm nor deliberately distanced himself.
If he really accepts the title of "brother," then all those years he's spent in society would have been for nothing.
The middle-aged man with a plump figure wore a kind smile and said in a calm tone, "It's nothing, I just noticed it was lively here and came to take a look."
Upon hearing this, Yu Huan smiled in response.
He glanced at the little tyrant standing there like a lackey, then used his long fingers to support himself on the edge of the table and stood up.
"Excuse me, everyone, I'll be right back from the restroom." With these apologetic words, Yu Huan headed towards the restroom.
After finishing my work in the morning, I rushed to Xiangchun Road without stopping.
He wasn't lying at all; he had indeed been holding it in for a while and was eager to relieve himself.
Yu Huan slowly turned her head, and as far as her eyes could see, the staff were carefully packing the measuring tools into their suitcases. Clearly, the measuring work had come to an end.
He strode into the bathroom, relieved himself, and then slowly moved to the sink and turned on the tap.
The icy water rushed down, washing over his hands, instantly invigorating him.
He looked at his resolute brows and eyes in the mirror, pondered for a moment, turned on the tap, casually shook the water droplets off his hands, and then wiped them dry on his jeans.
Just then, he suddenly caught sight of a figure slipping through the doorway. He quickly turned his head and looked over.
"Is this the restroom?" The woman with the high ponytail met Yu Huan's gaze. Before he could respond, she smiled and continued, "Handsome, I've been thinking that your shop is so big, the demolition must be quite a challenge."
Yu Huan smiled calmly: "Indeed, but I believe the city will provide a reasonable compensation plan."
As the woman with the high ponytail walked in, passing by Yu Huan, she said repeatedly, "You're right. It's a key project, and the city will definitely take everyone's interests into full consideration. However, there are many uncertainties in the demolition process. Have you thought about consulting with a professional?"
Yu Huan understood immediately; the woman's words were loaded with meaning, and she was clearly trying to sell herself.
But he simply said calmly, "I'll consider it. Thank you for reminding me."
The woman with the high ponytail gently pushed open the bathroom door. Upon hearing this, she simply said bluntly, "My surname is Wang. You should have my phone number. You can add it to your contacts so we can stay in touch later."
She paused, turned to look at Yu Huan's profile, and continued, "If you have any questions, feel free to call me anytime." Yu Huan nodded slightly, "Sure, Sister Wang, I'll contact you if I need anything."
Upon hearing this address, the woman with the high ponytail smiled, stepped inside, and said, "Well, no matter what, we should still have a chance to meet again in the future."
Seeing this, Yu Huan turned around and walked away.
He thought to himself, "Older women are indeed more open-minded."
The emphasized words "any questions," spoken with a seductive glance, seemed to carry a deeper meaning. Any hot-blooded young man would surely have his mind wandering, wouldn't he?
Especially when you've just become a recipient of compensation for your land expropriation, and you're still feeling a bit smug...
Yu Huan shook his head slightly, as if these distracting thoughts were just light, fluffy cotton wool that he could easily shake off from his mind.
He walked out of the restroom with unhurried, steady steps, silently calculating in his mind.
The demolition of such a vast area must involve a complex web of vested interests.
Regarding compensation plans, each project clearly has its own standards, and they are not uniform.
In principle, compensation is provided according to the published standards, but in practice, it is often negotiated and discussed on a case-by-case basis.
Especially considering the unique circumstances of his shop.
Yu Huan naturally preferred monetary compensation, and the sooner she could get the demolition compensation she had secured, the better.
However, he hesitated slightly at this moment.
Should he deal with the person who operates in the gray area first, or should he contact the older sister who has ulterior motives towards him first?
The former might easily become the person in charge, but he is very likely to be entangled in a deep-seated problem.
The latter would need to feign compliance, since they are likely after more than just him personally, but also his money, and he is merely an employee of the assessment agency, perhaps only able to provide him with a few insider tips.
He returned to the front of the hall and saw the overweight middle-aged man still standing in the same spot, while a group of people from the assessment agency were chatting and laughing together, preparing to leave.
Yu Huan quickened her pace, turned off the lights at the control panel, and then went to meet them.
The tall, thin man caught sight of Yu Huan, turned to him, and smiled, saying, "Mr. Yu, thank you for your help today!"
Yu Huan waved her hand slightly and said, "It's no trouble at all. Cooperating with your work is what I should do."
The tall, thin man nodded: "Mr. Yu, don't worry, we will report the situation on your end truthfully."
Yu Huan smiled and said, "Then thank you very much."
As they talked, the woman with the high ponytail returned with light steps.
Her gaze fell on Yu Huan, and she said with a slight smile, "Handsome, we haven't had lunch yet, so we won't bother you any longer."
"Okay, enjoy your meal."
Yu Huan spoke in a calm and polite tone, seeing the four people off from behind.
After saying goodbye to each other and getting into the car, Yu Huan turned around and said to the three people who followed her to the door, "Excuse me, I have to rush to work. If you have nothing else to say, then I'll take my leave."
After saying that, he took out his key from his pocket and went to lock the door.
The three of them had just been whispering among themselves when Little Tyrant suddenly learned that Yu Huan was the owner of such a large shop. His envy and jealousy were almost overflowing.
The introverted and withdrawn little boy I remember has changed so much.
At first, he could comfort himself by saying that Yu Huan was dating a rich woman in the city, and that his inferiority to her was only due to this reason.
After learning that Yu Huan was actually "Brother Leader", although he felt a sense of awe and respect, he still felt that he could still speak to him.
At that moment, he genuinely felt that this old classmate was rich and powerful, and that they were from different worlds.
Although Xiao Bawang was secretly very envious, he smiled broadly and congratulated her, "Yu Huan, when did you buy such a big shop on Xiangchun Road? Congratulations, you're going to be a beneficiary of the demolition compensation!"
Yu Huan locked the glass door with a U-lock and casually replied, "My wife bought the shop; I'm just benefiting from her success."
"Really?" Upon hearing this, Little Tyrant felt his gums ache.
Ultimately, he still hooked up with a rich woman!
The overweight middle-aged man standing to the side looked at this younger brother who was quite familiar with Yu Huan.
The person is about to leave, yet they can't get to the point in their few words; they're utterly useless!
He quickly interjected with a smile, "Brother Yu, were those people from an appraisal agency? Were they here to conduct preliminary investigations?"
"Yes." Yu Huan nodded in agreement, pulled the key out of the U-lock, and put it back in his pocket.
The overweight middle-aged man watched as he turned around and walked towards the electric scooter on the other side of the door.
He quickly followed beside him and said in a fast voice, "In the city's land acquisition and demolition projects, many departments usually participate. You should know Brother Yu and Brother Da Wu, right? He was the last one to arrive when we went fishing last time?"
Yu Huan's eyes remained calm, but she paused slightly in her steps: "I know, it's the one who jumped into the river to retrieve the lure rod, right?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the little tyrant reacted instinctively and shrank back.
“That’s right!” The overweight middle-aged man lowered his voice and said mysteriously when he saw Yu Huan stop, “Brother Yu, you may not know, but in addition to some major departments, we also finalized a company owned by Brother Wu as the implementing unit for the expropriation work. We’re here this time to get the relevant documents from the community.”
"Demolition team?" Yu Huan took a few steps and steadily mounted the electric scooter.
Upon hearing this, the overweight middle-aged man thought to himself that this "leader" was truly clever, but he quickly waved his hand and emphasized, "It's a house demolition company!"
"Oh, I see." Yu Huan nodded slightly and reached down to take the helmet off the handlebars.
The overweight middle-aged man watched as Yu Huan actually got on the electric scooter, and looking at his profile, he couldn't help but give him a thumbs up: "Brother Yu, you really know how to travel discreetly!"
Yu Huan put on her helmet and smiled as she said, "There are a lot of cars and people in the city center, and I'm usually in a hurry, so an electric bike is more convenient."
After saying that, Yu Huan inserted the key, put her foot in the handrail, and made a move to leave.
The overweight middle-aged man quickly pulled out his phone from his pocket and said, "Brother Yu, let's exchange contact information! Maybe I can help you in the future."
“Uh…” Yu Huan hesitated for a moment, then said, “Okay.”
The two guardians, who were a step behind, looked at each other in surprise when they saw Yu Huan nod. Their faces lit up with joy.
I had a really lucky day today.
Finally, I got Yu Huan's contact information, and I can report back to Brother Da Wu now.
