I Get A Random New Occupation Every Week

854 The Demolition Is About to Begin

“What are you laughing at? Did my mother say something wrong?”

“Yes, yes, yes. You’re the most mature of them all,” said Ji Qingyan. “You’re not rash at all.”

“That’s right. We have to make him learn more from you in the future,” Wang Cuiping said.

“Alright, alright, alright. Your daughter-in-law is still here. Can you be more reasonable?” Zhao Quanfu said.

“Ever since he was in school, he has never lost a fight or an argument, whether it was verbal or physical. How come he is perfect in your eyes?”

“What’s wrong with scolding people and fighting? If a man doesn’t have a temper, can he still call himself a man?” Wang Cuiping said.

“Who doesn’t have some flaws?”

“Stop talking, lest your daughter-in-law laughs at you.”

“My daughter-in-law won’t laugh at me.”

Seeing the two bickering, Ji Qingyan couldn’t stop laughing. She wondered if she and Lin Yi would be like this when they grew old.

After lunch, Lin Yi helped Zhao Quanfu work in the orphanage. The broken items were replaced with new ones, and those that could still be used were repaired.

Ji Qingyan had been playing with the children the whole time, and Wang Dongdong had been following behind her such that they looked like a pair of siblings.

Ring ring ring!

During dinner, Lin Yi’s phone rang. It was Wu Zhaoyou.

“Director Lin, are you busy?”

“I’m not busy. Secretary Wu, if you have anything to say, just say it.”

Lin Yi smiled in response, but didn’t say anything about his time in Yangcheng.

Although there were many conflicts of interest between the two of them, Wu Zhaoyou was still very kind. He handled the matter without any issues.

However, Lin Yi didn’t like socializing, so he did not broadcast his schedule.

“There’s something I want to tell you.” Wu Zhaoyou said.

“Isn’t your orphanage in the suburbs? The city has plans to rebuild the area into a new economic zone.”

“That’s good,” Lin Yi said.

“This will involve a demolition. The city can just follow the normal procedure, but you have to give me some time to slowly find a new place.”

Lin Yi had long known about the demolition.

Unexpectedly, there had been no news for more than half a year.

“That’s easy. With our relationship, I can still help you win another two to three months. Moreover, the orphanage is a special facility. There will definitely be additional care in attending to it. In short, you won’t face any major issues.” Wu Zhaoyou said.

“Also, I heard you say that your girlfriend is in real estate. This project is worth about 2 billion yuan. Will she accept it?”

“That’s great.” Lin Yi smiled. “Thank you, Secretary Wu. We’ll talk about this later.”

“Then I’ll wait for your news.”

“Okay.”

After hanging up, Wang Cuiping looked at Lin Yi. “Son, was that about the demolition?”

“Yes, this land is in the suburbs. It has long been set to be demolished. It’s pretty good that they delayed it until now.”

With that, Lin Yi looked at Ji Qingyan. “Secretary Wu is preparing to give this project to Chaoyang Group. We need to send someone over to discuss the details.”

“Alright, I’ll go to the branch company for a meeting tomorrow and start handling this matter.”

Lin Yi nodded and noticed that Wang Cuiping didn’t look too good.

“Mom, the demolition is a good thing. Why are you frowning? Didn’t anyone inform you of this beforehand?”

“Several groups of people have come, but all of them are hooligans. I didn’t think they were good people, so I ignored them.”

“Hooligans? I don’t think that could be the case.” Lin Yi said.

“This kind of thing is handled by the relevant departments. They should look the part.”

“I don’t know about that. Anyway, they didn’t look like good people, so I ignored them.”

“You don’t have to worry now. Your daughter-in-law will be in charge of this matter in the future. She can also give you more money for the demolition.”

“Don’t bully me for my ignorance.” Wang Cuiping said.

“There are specific rates for how much money is paid per square meter. If you pay me too much, my daughter-in-law will lose money,” she continued.

“Don’t worry, the profits here are quite big. We won’t lose anything.” Lin Yi said.

“After living here for so many years, it’s time to change locations. The infrastructure here is not as good as in the city.”

“You don’t know how expensive the housing prices in the city are,” Wang Cuiping said. “If this place is demolished, where will these children live?”

“I’ll just top up the payout for you guys,” Lin Yi said.

“And moving to the city will allow these kids to see more of the world. It’s definitely better than staying here.”

“I know that, but going to school will be a big problem,” Wang Cuiping said.

“Besides, the two of you are about to start a family. How can I still ask you for money?”

“Aunt Wang, you’re overthinking.” Ji Qingyan held her hand. “I’ve saved quite a bit of money over the years. Even if Lin Yi and I don’t work anymore, we will still have enough to live out our lives. We won’t fuss over this amount. Don’t worry and just spend it.”

“That’s right. The money I donated to charity is already enough for you to buy another piece of land.” Lin Yi said.

“I’ll also help you contact the school. You don’t have to worry.”

Wang Cuiping wiped her tears. “In that case, I’ll have to count on you.”

...

“You’re already an adult, why are you crying? Aren’t you embarrassed?” Lin Yi wiped Wang Cuiping’s tears and laughed.

“It’s mainly because I didn’t treat you well when you wereyoung. Now, I’m relying on you to support me. I feel bad.”

“You raised me and even provided for me to go to school. That’s a huge favor.”

“That’s a nice thing to say,” Zhao Quanfu said with a cigarette in his mouth. “When you were young, your mother worried a lot. It’s only right for you to treat your mother better now.”

Although Zhao Quanfu was a rough and uncultured man, he still doted on his wife in his heart.

“Then it’s settled,” Lin Yi said, “You guys take the kids out tomorrow to play. We’ll deal with these matters.”

“Alright, let’s eat first. The dishes will turn cold soon.”

After dinner, the family gathered and chatted for a while before leaving the orphanage.

“Sister.”

Walking to the door, Wang Dongdong hooked his finger at Ji Qingyan in a flirtatious manner.

Ji Qingyan was all too familiar with this action.

...

This was what he did whenever he gave her a lollipop.

“What’s wrong?”

She walked over and asked, “Did you prepare another lollipop for me?”

“No, Sister, come here. I have something to tell you.”

Wang Dongdong glanced at Wang Cuiping and Zhao Quanfu. When he realized that they weren’t looking in his direction, he pulled Ji Qingyan to the side.

“What’s the matter? Why are you being so mysterious?” Ji Qingyan squatted down and asked with a smile.

“My dad got into a fight with someone a few days ago.”

Wang Dongdong had been in the orphanage for quite some time now, so he had also changed the way he addressed Wang Cuiping and Wang Yu.

“Uncle Zhao got into a fight with them?” Ji Qingyan was surprised. “When did this happen?”

“Let me think.” Wang Dongdong fiddled with his fingers. “I think five days ago, someone came to look at the house. Those people were very rude and even scolded people. My father started fighting with them.”
