Chapter 92 Let's demolish it!
"President Su, the conditions that strange old man offered are far too harsh. We can't continue this project."
The project manager wiped the sweat from his brow and gave a troubled report.
"You guys go do your other things first, I'll go talk to them later." Su Zichen, wearing a baggy camouflage uniform and a helmet, shook her head helplessly.
After her subordinates left, Su Zichen knocked on the strange old man's door again, "Grandpa Zhu, I'm from the Haixi Village project team..."
"Get out, all of you get out! I've already said it, no matter who comes, I won't move out." Su Zichen hadn't even finished introducing herself.
A burst of cursing came from inside: "Old man, I've already made my conditions very clear."
"Either give me 200 million, or cure my granddaughter. I don't want a penny, I'll just leave."
"If you can't do it, then get out of here and don't bother us."
Su Zichen patiently and gently persuaded, "Grandpa, come out and take a look. Almost everyone in the village has already moved out."
“You are the only family left in the village. There is no hospital or school here.”
"There aren't even places to buy everyday necessities."
"The new community that our group arranged for the villagers has shopping malls, hospitals, and supporting elderly care centers..."
"Are you ever going to stop? Can't you understand human language?" A rough voice from the courtyard interrupted Su Zichen's words.
An old man with white hair and beard stormed out, holding a rolling pin. "I've made myself perfectly clear," he said.
"Either give me enough money, or cure my granddaughter."
"If you can't do it, then shut up here."
The old man held a rolling pin, looking like he was about to hit someone.
Su Zichen didn't dare to provoke the other party, and explained as she retreated, "Old man, we can give you double the market price as compensation."
"However, two hundred million is really a bit..."
"Get out!" The old man's eyes widened in anger, and he grabbed the rolling pin in his hand, ready to hit someone.
Helpless, Su Zichen had no choice but to leave the courtyard.
As soon as I turned around, I almost bumped into the person who came in.
"Su Zichen, it seems that the Sanjiang Chamber of Commerce project you are in charge of is not progressing very smoothly."
"The project has only just begun, and you've already made such a mess of it."
"How dare you sit in this position as project manager?"
Su Youfei walked over with a clattering sound in her high heels, her face full of mockery.
"Su Youfei, what are you doing here?" Su Zichen's face turned cold. "Have you forgotten what Grandma said?"
"He entrusted me with full responsibility for this project."
"Do you intend to interfere?"
"Su Zichen, you are truly judging others by your own petty standards," Su Youfei said smugly. "I'm not afraid to tell you, the owner of this courtyard is named Zhu Fengchun, and he was once a renowned physician."
"Back then, his medical skills and reputation were even better than those of Qin Changsong, the Divine Doctor."
"I'm just here to visit an old friend."
"You looked so nervous just now, it was hilarious."
Without waiting for Su Zichen's reply, Su Youfei gently knocked on the door, "Dr. Zhu, it's me, Su Youfei."
"The matter you asked me to handle is almost settled."
"Could you please open the door?"
"It's Youfei! Come in, come in quickly..." Zhu Fengchun quickly opened the door, her face full of surprise. "Tell me quickly, what happened to that matter?"
"Dr. Zhu, don't be in such a hurry, let's go inside and talk," Su Youfei said with a smile.
"Oh dear, I was too hasty. Please come in, please come in." Zhu Fengchun quickly stepped aside to let Su Youfei in.
Su Youfei walked into the room, glanced back at Su Zichen, her face full of smugness and mockery.
"Why are you still here? Get out of here right now!" Zhu Fengchun saw Su Zichen standing at the door and roared angrily.
"Dr. Zhu..." Su Zichen wanted to try again.
"Get out!" Zhu Fengchun's eyes were blazing with fury; he looked like he wanted to devour someone.
Having no other choice, Su Zichen took a deep look at Su Youfei in the courtyard and could only turn away helplessly.
It was evening.
The entire Su family gathered at the Su family villa.
As soon as she entered the door, Old Mrs. Su asked bluntly, "Su Zichen, I heard there's a holdout in Haixi Village?"
"Are you really asking for 200 million right off the bat?"
Su Zichen was not surprised, as the company had personnel specifically tasked with monitoring project progress.
Therefore, everything that happened today will be told to the old lady in its entirety.
Upon hearing Old Madam Su's words, the expressions of everyone in the Su family turned somewhat unpleasant.
"Haixi Village is an early-stage project, with a total investment of only a little over a billion yuan. This family wants two hundred million yuan? Are they crazy for money?" An elder of the Su family said angrily. "Su Zichen, don't waste your breath on that family. Tomorrow, take the demolition team and raze that house to the ground. The Sanjiang Chamber of Commerce project is of paramount importance, and we absolutely cannot allow any problems to occur."
"Eighth Master is right. We had some unpleasantness with the Sanjiang Chamber of Commerce in the past, and this is a good time to repair our relationship. We absolutely cannot afford to lose the project."
“Over the years, I’ve seen many people like this who ask for exorbitant sums. They’re all insatiable. I also agree with pushing them away.”
The Su family members were in unison and almost all supported the forced demolition.
"Grandma, Grandpa Zhu's family situation is a bit special, his granddaughter..." Thinking of Zhu Fengchun's haggard face.
Thinking of his seriously ill granddaughter, Su Zichen felt a pang of pity.
However, Grandma Su didn't wait for him to finish speaking.
He said loudly, "Su Zichen, you don't need to say anything more."
"Take ten people from the security department tomorrow, along with the project team, and forcefully push this company down."
"At worst, we'll compensate him three times the market price."
"Even if we have to go to court, the Su family is not afraid."
"Grandma, Grandpa Zhu's granddaughter is seriously ill, and his children all died in a car accident. Wouldn't it be too heartless of us to forcibly demolish their property?" Su Zichen really couldn't bring herself to do it.
"Su Zichen, the first lesson Grandma wants to teach you today is: 'A kind heart cannot govern an army, and righteousness cannot manage wealth!'" Grandma Su earnestly instructed. "I know you've always been kind, and I also know that family has truly suffered."
"But now that you are in charge of the Sanjiang Chamber of Commerce project, you must not let your personal emotions dictate your decisions."
"Since you're in this position, you have to be responsible for the entire Su family."
“If problems arise with the project and the Sanjiang Chamber of Commerce blames us, our Su family will be in even worse shape than Old Man Zhu’s family!”
Su Zichen felt terrible, but she knew that what her grandmother said was true. "Grandma, please let me try again."
"Give me a week, no..."
"Give me three days..."
"If I can't persuade them within three days, then you can tell me what to do, and I'll do whatever you say."
"Sigh..." Grandma Su sighed deeply and shook her head, saying, "You've always been too kind since you were a child. I knew this would happen."
"Never mind, Grandma will try to keep the people from the Sanjiang Chamber of Commerce in check and buy you three days."
"But we agreed that it would only last three days!"
