Millionaire Suddenly Appears

0"Respected fellow villagers, greetings." Wu Tian looked around at the crowd and said slowly, "I'm just like every one of you. Having lived on this piece of land for twenty whole years, I too have formed a deep attachment to it. To be honest, I never wanted to demolish the houses... I never wanted to tear down our houses..."    

    

"However, the environment and atmosphere here have been getting worse and dirtier as the days pass — to the point where the stench has gotten unbearable for many of us."    

    

"Right now, I'm certain that all of us has a love-hate relationship with this place. Our feelings for this humble abode has gotten complicated..."    

    

Wu Tian originally wanted to speak from the bottom of his heart and express his mixed feelings regarding Fengguang Village.    

    

But before he could finish, Hu Qiang interrupted him, "Why are you wasting your breath? Just get straight to the point about the compensation for the demolition fee."    

    

When he said those words, the villagers immediately scolded him, ordering him to shut the hell up while Wu tian continues to talk.    

    

"A thousand words I wish to say, but I'll sum it up with a few words of the day. I hope that we will always remain as good neighbors with each other, and maintain the purest and most beautiful customs of our Fengguang Village. Only then will they truly be priceless," Wu Tian said the last sentence with great passion.    

    

The villagers all nodded in agreement, indicating that Wu Tian was right. Every word he said had reached the heart of every villager.    

    

"With my true feelings aside, now let's talk about demolition." Wu Tian stopped here.    

    

The atmosphere at the scene immediately became tense, as if the air had frozen. Everyone was now waiting for the result.    

    

Under the crowd's anticipating gaze, Wu Tian said with a clear tone: "After discussion with Boss Liu, the final compensation that our company decided on will be six thousand yuan per square meter."    

    

"Alright!"    

    

As soon as the announcement finished, the audience burst out in cheers and applause.    

    

No one had ever been as happy as they were now. As if they had came out victorious in a great war, they felt extremely excited.    

    

Six thousand yuan per square meter was not a very high compensation but compared to the price of a measly four thousand, it would naturally satisfy the conditions set by the villagers.    

    

Hearing this, Hu Qiang was instantly dumbfounded. He had originally thought of how to suppress Wu Tian, but to think that he would suddenly raise the amount of money of the demolition compensation fee to six thousand.    

    

Similar to the other villagers, the thought that his house would be compensated with six thousand yuan per square meter excited him.    

    

Despite his exhilaration, he decided to not show it outwardly.    

    

After Wu Tian announced this result, Hu Qiang continued to look for trouble: "Wu Tian, your company's reputation is indeed questionable. Why did you try to compensate the villagers with 4,000 yuan per square meter previously?"    

    

"It's my fault."    

    

Han Fengguang knew that it was time for him to act as the villain of the narrative.    

    

Without waiting for Wu Tian to speak, he took the initiative to take the blame, "I was wrong about the contract previously. Here, I apologize publicly to all the villagers."    

    

After he finished speaking, he even bowed deeply to make his act even more convincing to the villagers.    

    

Very soon, all the villagers pointed their fingers at Han Fengguang — all sorts of insults and denouncements came one after another.    

    

The villagers were all venting their dissatisfaction at him.    

    

After all, during this period of time, everyone had been under too much pressure. Thus, they needed some sort of scapegoat or other way to ven out their accumulated anger.    

    

Seeing that the villagers were almost done venting their previous dissatisfaction, Wu Tian voiced out his words: "For Director Han's mistakes in his work, he must be punished... by treating all the villagers to a feast! It'll be fine to just treat it as a Fengguang Village gathering."    

    

"Hell yeah!" The villagers all applauded and cheered, expressing their support.    

    

Not only would this act as a sort of punishment for Director Han, but it would also serve as an opportunity for the villagers to have one last gathering together. After all, once the buildings are all demolished in the future, they would probably never have the chance to gather together like this again.    

    

"In the future, we will raise the standard of living for the residential area here. I promise that every villager in Fengguang Village will be able to buy the houses here with a discount of five hundred yuan per square meter, " Wu Tian announced.    

    

As soon as these words were spoken, the crowd instantly buzzed with delight.    

    

That was indeed not a small discount. By giving a discount of five hundred yuan per square meter, it would be equivalent to giving away a few hundred thousand yuan overall.    

    

Over a hundred thousand yuan would be more than enough for ordinary residents to further renovate and decorate their houses.    

    

The villagers all praised Wu Tian, saying that he did not forget his roots. In the villagers' eyes, Wu Tian was now a good boy who helped them.    

    

All of a sudden, Wu Tian became the most respected person in the village.    

    

At this moment, everyone wanted to give something back to Wu Tian.    

    

While the villagers may be elated, the same could not be said for Liu Jun.    

    

When he heard this news, he felt his heart ache.    

    

"Alright, I'll have the secretary print out the contract. After everyone signs the contract, they will receive the compensation." After Wu Tian said this, he quickly told Han Fengguang to arrange the signing of the contract.    

    

Subsequently, Han Fengguang ordered his secretary to print out the contracts and had the villagers line up to sign it.    

    

"Xiao Tian."    

    

While everyone was busy signing the contract, Liu Jun pulled Wu Tian aside and whispered, "The compensation is raised to six thousand. If you push the price so low, we will really lose a lot of money."    

    

"Though we may have to end up paying for the Fengguang Village Project, we can, on the other hand, work on some more projects in Jade Garden to earn some profits," Wu Tian said as he rubbed his chin thoughtfully.    

    

"How?"    

    

"I haven't thought about it yet."    

    

"You stinking brat." Liu Jun shook his head with a bitter smile, "Sooner or later, I will be tricked to death by you."    

    

"Uncle Liu, I apologize for giving the villagers a discount before discussing it with you in advance."    

    

"Forget it." Liu Jun waved his hand magnanimously. "Such a small sum of money, I, Uncle Liu, will be able to pay for."    

    

"Don't be discouraged yet as we may be able to find a way to earn money from this."    

    

"Maybe..." Liu Jun didn't bring up the matter again. He looked at the time and suggested with a smile, "Yueyao is having a party at home tonight. Do you want to come with me?"    

    

"Thank you, Uncle Liu, for your kind intentions, but unfortunately, I still have things to take care of." Wu Tian knew that Uncle Liu wanted to pair him up with Liu Mengyao again, so he casually found a reason to shirk off his offer.    

    

"Alright, then when you are free some other time, come over to visit my house. With that, I'll be leaving first." Liu Jun patted Wu Tian's shoulder and turned around to leave.    

    

After Liu Jun left, many villagers who had signed the contract surrounded Wu Tian and praised his promising future.    

    

After a round of praise, they all dispersed and went back home.    

    

With the other villagers gone, the whole Yang Family stared at Wu Tian as if they were admiring an antique.    

    

"Elder Brother Tian, I didn't expect you to be so amazing, to have actually become a big boss." Yang Lin looked at Wu Tian with adoration and surprise.    

    

"I earned some money from playing around with my funds before, so I decided to invest in this real estate project together with Boss Liu." Wu Tian scratched his head in embarrassment and said apologetically: "I just found out that Fengguang Village was developed by our company. Otherwise, there would never have been so many setbacks in the demolition process."    

    

"Xiao Tian is truly promising."    

    

Mrs. Yang grabbed Wu Tian by his arm and tried to curry favor with him, "We have always treated Xiao Tian as our own son and are also pleased to see Xiao Tian become such a big boss."    

    

"Auntie, don't say that. I'm starting to feel embarrassed."    

    

"What I said was the truth." Mrs. Yang suddenly moved her head closer to Tian and whispered, "Xiao Tian, can you give us a bit more compensation for the demolition?"    

    

"Mom, what are you talking about?"    

    

Yang Lin immediately let out a frown, scolding her mother for making such a unreasonable request.    

    

Even Mr. Yang could not help but scold her.    

    

"Auntie, the compensation for the demolition will be fair for everyone, and there's no way to increase it any further. However, if you buy a house here in the future, we may be able to assist you with its decorations," Wu Tian said with a smile.    

    

"Really?"    

    

Mrs. Yang burst into excitement when she heard this. "Xiao Tian is so nice. Thank you so much, Xiao Tian."
