Huang Lin heard these words and fell silent, "Yes, the monthly rent is quite a sum."
Recalling the recent rumors spreading around, "Today, I heard from people in the factory office that a developer is discussing with the city to take over our factory’s land."
Zhou Jian didn’t give it a thought and snorted coldly, "How could that be?"
"Previously, it was always said that soone would acquire our factory land, but until now, not a single movent."
Zhou Kai didn’t take it seriously either. Ever since elentary school, he often heard that soone eyeing the factory’s land to build houses turned out to be re rumors,
"We initially thought the sa, everyone was just treating it as gossip, but it turns out that this morning, Old Zhang requested a property transfer, not intending to delay."
"He said that when the money was paid and the agreent signed back then, there was unconditional help with the transfer. If the factory disagreed, he would go straight to the bureau."
"He definitely can’t go to the bureau." Although this was sowhat distant from Zhou Jian, the workshop supervisor, he wasn’t involved nor gained anything, yet his wife in logistics got sowhat affected.
If this matter escalates and an audit cos down from above without proper record, it becos a significant issue.
"The property must be transferred imdiately." Zhou Jian knew that the factory leaders had no choice but to agree, despite any small intentions they might harbor.
Huang Lin agreed, "Paperwork was completed by morning, and Old Zhang also obtained the property certificate."
"In the afternoon, soone from the factory office found out that the developer from out of town changed their request, only wanting the land of the factory buildings, not the residential area."
Huang Lin quietly explained the latest situation, as relocating the factory would create commuting issues.
More importantly, "If the factory land is indeed redeveloped, what about the shop Old Zhang bought.."
Zhou Jian was considering whether the top leaders would approve this proposal, but his wife ntioned the newly processed shop property certificate.
This news was even more shocking than the relocation news, "No way, how could it be such a coincidence?"
"I rember the shop was bought about a month ago, right?" Zhou Jian couldn’t recall the exact ti, but it wasn’t long ago.
"Yes, it happened in May. Old Zhang made a fuss for it, but he eventually had to pay for it, despite the factory’s opposition," Huang Lin sneered.
Look at Zhang Tao outside, everyone calls him Boss Zhang, yet at work, he’s still obedient, every ti he cos to logistics to handle matters, he always behaves humbly, what does it show? It shows that having money is useless.
Zhou Jian remained silent, quietly pondering the situation.
Seeing him silent, Huang Lin gave him a push, "What’s wrong with you?"
"I’m considering whether Zhang Tao will agree to buy all the shops and whether his haste in getting the shop transferred today was due to receiving so news." Otherwise, how could everything coincide, Zhou Jian felt sothing was off.
Zhou Kai continued to eat dinner, having felt hungry since lunch due to a lack of snacks in the afternoon. Right, he must ask his parents for pocket money, or his lunch would be a problem.
"I knew you were clever; soone at the office guessed the sa, otherwise how could Zhang Tao be so anxious to get the property certificate? Once the relocation news spreads, the factory likely won’t agree to transfer property certificates."
Even if they agree to transfer property, there’ll be conditions, like giving up so shop spaces.
Now, regardless of how frustrated the leadership might be, it’s a foregone conclusion, regret serves no purpose.
Zhao Xu and his wife also received this bad news at the dinner table, stunned, "How could this happen?" Qiao Lili felt her heart would break, knowing she’d need a lot of money for their daughter’s tutoring, it was almost suffocating.
"Now every lesson costs 50, averaging 150 a day, totaling 4500 a month. Plus, your outside als need 100, amounting to 4600."
"Your monthly piano practice costs a few hundred, exceeding 5000 monthly. My and your father’s combined monthly inco is just over three thousand, even including your father’s side earnings, it doesn’t exceed five thousand."
"Your monthly tutoring fee surpasses that, and even if you require fewer lessons, with piano expenses, it still reaches 2000 monthly."
Qiao Lili hopes her daughter achieves good results in college entrance exams, enters a good university, finds a good husband, letting them benefit.
Otherwise, given the significant expenses, she wouldn’t agree to Zhao Xuan continuing piano lessons. After all, a girl’s deanor matters, drawing interest from wealthy families.
Zhao Xu adjusted his glasses, "This is how it is, shouting doesn’t help. I suggest, why not hire less expensive teachers?"
"I could tutor our daughter myself." After all, he was a college graduate, helping with high school subjects shouldn’t be an issue.
"If you tutor her, how will you earn extra money?" Qiao Lili replied promptly, she enjoys dressing up, which costs money.
Realizing it’s true, Zhao Xu thought, he is busy, and side jobs aren’t easy, "But if I don’t tutor, we’ll have to spend money."
Feeling the pressure mounting, Zhao Xu thought desperately, "Maybe she doesn’t need so many courses, just practice with workbooks."
Since this expense was significant, changing perspective might help.
"No way." Zhao Xuan didn’t want to give up tutoring or piano practice, despite the hectic studies, abandoning practice results in losing touch, and picking up again proves challenging.
Qiao Lili also felt unwilling to give up, "Fine, we’ll grit our teeth and support our daughter." Despite hardships, ensuring their daughter enters a prestigious university was worth the effort.
Seeing his wife so determined, and their daughter’s support, Zhao Xu had no choice but to agree.
"By the way, Mom and Dad, give so money; I was starving to death this afternoon." Zhao Xuan recalled the afternoon hunger pangs, not wanting a repeat.
Hearing their daughter asking for money, Zhao Xu glanced at his wife, as she managed their monthly inco, leaving him survived on pocket money.
Qiao Lili, hearing her daughter ntion hunger, felt displeased, "Why weren’t you full at Zhang Yu’s house?"
"Didn’t they buy you snacks?" Unhappy, she resented Zhang Family’s unfair treatnt.
"No, we didn’t go to Zhang Yu’s house for lunch today." Zhao Xuan explained, "Zhang Yu really has a temper, just over Xiao Kai’s comnt, he switched to arts and didn’t wait for us for lunch."
