Rebirth and making money first

The community was crowded and bustling with people. Residents flocked to the registration office. Zhang Xiaobing and Zhang Zhi were naturally among the crowd, busy with the registration procedures with other residents.

The staff at the registration office were bustling with activity, patiently answering questions and meticulously verifying and recording every piece of information submitted. The registration process was both tedious and complex, but no one showed any signs of impatience, as it was a matter of vital interest.

The official demolition was still two months away, but the main concern was the compensation package. At the thought of potentially receiving a fortune, everyone's face lit up with irrepressible excitement. It was as if they could already see the wonderful life that awaited them after their sudden wealth, beckoning them.

Even the usually calm Zhang Jing took the time to register her three property deeds. For her family, this relocation was undoubtedly a stroke of luck. As for whether to move back or simply use the money to buy a new home elsewhere, there was no rush to make a decision.

We can wait until the specific compensation plan for demolition is announced. However, even so, some smart owners have long been unable to suppress their curiosity and have begun to inquire about the prices of similar demolition projects in other areas.

For a time, all sorts of rumors about the demolition price were circulating in the community. However, regardless of whether these rumors were true or false, the owners always had one unwavering common goal in mind: no matter what, the demolition compensation price must not be low!

When it came to the decision of whether to move back or buy another home, Zhang Zhi and her husband, after careful consideration, ultimately decided to move back. Zhang Xiaobing, on the other hand, was more conservative, intending to move to a smaller apartment. As for Zhang Jing, her parents-in-law, uncle, and grandfather all agreed that everything would be up to her.

Initially, Zhang Jing considered simply moving on, unwilling to be entangled with these distant relatives. But on second thought, she changed her mind. After all, she still had to consider her children's needs as they grew older. So, after much deliberation, she decided to at least move back home and buy a house.

Her parents-in-law were adamant about relocating, hoping to return to their familiar neighborhood. Even her usually reserved grandfather unexpectedly agreed. Zhang Jing realized that living without her relatives was unrealistic. Since she couldn't escape them, she decided to stay in the same neighborhood. After all, relocation wouldn't be possible for another year.

However, not everyone shares the same sentiment. Some still cherish the time they spent with their old neighbors and long to continue living with them after moving back. Others, tired of the constant upheaval and simply wanting a stable life, have chosen to demand a generous compensation to put an end to the turmoil.

Seeing how things were developing, it became clear that completing this task quickly would be no easy task. The meticulous Zhang Jing, fully aware of the complexity involved, decisively advised her younger sister Zhang Zhi and younger brother Zhang Xiaobing: "Given the current situation, it's best for us to find a place to rent in advance. That way, if we need to relocate, we won't be so flustered and overwhelmed."

Zhang Zhi seemed quite calm when she heard her sister's suggestion. She smiled and said, "Sister, I don't have much stuff at home, so even if we really have to move, it's pretty easy. If that doesn't work out, I can apply for a dormitory from the company and move in with my daughter. As for my husband, he rarely comes home anyway, so it won't affect him much. If we can't even get a dormitory, we can just stay in a hotel."

In contrast, Zhang Xiaobing and his wife, after careful consideration, quickly made their decision. They decided it would be more convenient to live near their workplace, so they planned to rent a slightly smaller apartment there. However, considering that no one else had started moving yet, they decided to wait and see for a while, making final arrangements after everyone else had moved.

The truth was, Zhang Xiaobing wanted to live in the dorms and let his wife take the children home. But he couldn't bear to throw away his furniture, and shipping it back was too expensive. So he rented a place and moved in, waiting for the new house to be moved in.

He didn't want to move out first because he wanted to see if anyone had any unwanted furniture to throw away. He wanted to keep some that were still usable. Of course, unless he and his wife had discussed it, the Zhang Jing sisters wouldn't have guessed the reason for his excessive frugality.

Meanwhile, Zhang Jing put considerable effort into designing her own home. Her initial vision required a perfect layout and functionality, especially ensuring both children had their own independent spaces.

To this end, she repeatedly revised the design, constantly adjusting the position and size of each room, striving for perfection. Zhang Yongle, who was in charge of the renovation, followed Zhang Jing's instructions and focused on the renovation work.

Zhang Jing not only handed over the power of decoration to him, but also transferred the decoration funds to his account without any worries, so that he could smoothly carry out the subsequent work. This made him feel that Zhang Jing relied on him, and he was secretly happy.

Little did she know that Zhang Jing simply felt that some people were better off not using them. To save herself from doing things herself, she always followed the principle of not worrying about things that she could avoid. She would only do it when she couldn't avoid it.

The demolition plan here was also announced as scheduled, so everyone can calculate it for themselves:

According to the evaluation of the appraisal agency, the market price of real estate in this community is RMB/square meter for 100 square meters. Compensation for areas below 100 square meters is RMB/square meter. The compensation amount for 150 square meters is calculated as follows:

"House value compensation": 150 square meters x yuan/square meter = yuan.

"Relocation fee": temporarily set at 8000 yuan.

?临时安置补偿费?：每月每平方米80元，预计安置期限为12个月，即150平方米 x 80元/平方米 x 12个月 = 元。

"Compensation for losses due to suspension of production and business": If the house is used for business, it will be assessed based on the actual business conditions, assumed to be RMB.

?Total compensation amount?: Yuan + 8000 Yuan + Yuan + Yuan = Yuan?.

The government required everyone to move out by the end of March after the new year, and the demolition compensation for those who signed and moved out first would be paid in advance. When the news came out, everyone was shocked.

Everyone quickly checked their seats and calculated how much they could get. Some people wanted to lead the riot, thinking they could demand RMB per square meter. When they were rejected, they continued to make trouble. To expedite the move, after some bargaining, the final price was set at RMB per square meter for spaces under 50 square meters, RMB per square meter for spaces between 50 and 100 square meters, RMB per square meter for spaces between 100 and 120 square meters, and RMB per square meter for spaces over 120 square meters.

As time went on, more and more residents came forward to sign and begin moving out. Rumor had it that those who moved early would receive an additional two months of resettlement compensation! As soon as this news got out, someone immediately took the lead, and others followed suit.

Zhang Jing planned to wait until after the Lunar New Year to relocate. Besides herself, her parents-in-law, and her elderly grandfather also needed to relocate. They decided to move back to their old house for a while, so Zhang Jing decided to spend the Spring Festival there with her family. In fact, like Zhang Jing, most people choose to wait until after the Lunar New Year to relocate.

That day, Director Chen personally came to the scene to handle the relevant procedures. Surprisingly, he not only brought various documents, but also brought a basket of fresh fruit to express his gratitude to Zhang Jing.

Director Chen said with a smile on his face: "Sister, your brother has benefited a lot from you this time! You may not know that since we bought this house, your sister-in-law has been nagging me all day long, which annoyed me to death. The pressure is really great! Now I finally see your unique vision, sister, it's amazing! If there are any good opportunities or good things in the future, don't forget me, your brother. When you are free one day, we must go out and have a meal together. Here, this little gift is for the two children, don't refuse, just accept it!" As he said, Director Chen handed a bulging red envelope to Zhang Jing.

After a moment's hesitation, Zhang Jing accepted the red envelope with a smile and expressed her gratitude to Director Chen. Then, curiously, she asked Director Chen if he was interested in moving back. However, Director Chen shook his head, indicating that nothing had been decided yet. But then he added, "But if you, Jing, decide to move back, I might seriously consider moving in with you. That way, it would be easier for us to keep in touch with each other in the future!"

As Director Chen left, Gao Wei rushed over. He was all smiles, holding a thick red envelope, which he respectfully handed to Zhang Jing. He thanked her profusely, his gratitude overflowing with words, for Zhang Jing had helped him earlier.

When the topic of moving back home came up, Gao Wei's eyes lit up, and he quickly said, "I heard that you and Director Chen are both planning to move back. I'm definitely going to follow suit!" Then, as if opening a floodgate, he began to talk non-stop, "To be honest, living at my father-in-law's house is incredibly inconvenient. I've had enough! Finally, I have this chance to be independent. I have to seize it and act quickly!"

As Gao Wei spoke, he secretly glanced at Zhang Jing, thinking to himself, "Zhang Jing is my Goddess of Wealth! Her fortune has been so prosperous over the years. Look at her, the shop she bought that year is almost sold out. I have to follow her closely, I can't go wrong! I also have to be respectful to her and not be careless at all. I can't stay too far away from her. What if I miss any good opportunities, wouldn't it be a big loss? I heard that she will get over a million in demolition compensation this time! Alas, why don't I have such good luck? But fortunately, I was smart last time and finally got a little benefit from her. Although it was just a small amount, it was still a good thing. If I could have married her back then, it would have been great..."

Zhang Jing was completely oblivious to Gao Wei's inner thoughts. She was too busy to pay attention to Gao Wei's thoughts. After all, everyone had their own things to deal with, so who had the time to carefully consider other people's thoughts?

Zhang Xiaobing came to Zhang Jing and said, "Sister, I want to discuss something with you. Can I pay you back later?"
