Reborn in the 90s, I traded my ex-husband for eight apartments.

July 12th.

The demolition issue has finally been settled, and the notice regarding the demolition of the market area has finally been issued.

It was posted on the wall outside the market.

The market entrance was packed with people early in the morning, it was noisy and bustling.

Bai Zhenzhu didn't join the crowd; she probably couldn't even squeeze in.

She found a piece of red paper, wrote "Off-season clearance sale" on it, and then hung it at the door.

A moment later, Xia He and Xu Yin came running over excitedly:

"Pearl, are we really going to take it apart!"

“Pearl, Happiness Community and our alley are all within the demolition area.”

Li Yueshu was also happy:

"That's great! We've finally received this news."

Xu Yin breathed a sigh of relief:

"Yes, I haven't been sleeping well lately, I just don't know what kind of policy it is."

Bai Zhenzhu smiled and said:

"Don't worry, the policy will definitely be released soon."

Xia He roughly knows some of the procedures:

"There's no use in rushing. They still need to do the household registration survey for this area. But the demolition is a good thing. Now I feel at ease. When I have money, I'll buy an apartment."

Bai Zhenzhu asked her:

"Should we go to Chengdu to buy it?"

Xia He shook her head:

"Let me stabilize this area first."

Bai Zhenzhu was just giving a reminder; Xia He was a very intelligent person, so she didn't need to say anything more.

A few more people gathered around, and the conversation returned to the topic of demolition and relocation.

Those who own shops and houses in the market are all beaming with joy.

Some people rent shops in the market to do business, but the market is going to be demolished. Where will they do business in the future?

Some are happy and some are sad.

Bai Zhenzhu didn't think about anything else; she just wanted to clear out her inventory as soon as possible.

She only received the goods last month, and the store already has enough stock, so she's not in a hurry to order new stock.

Regardless of the policy, she wants to make a big sale before the demolition.

Due to a miscalculation before the Lunar New Year, some winter clothes from last year are still available. Sweaters that were originally priced at 118 are now 68 each, coats that were 388 are now 238, down jackets are also all 238, trench coats that were originally over 100 are now only 88, and long-sleeved dresses are 80 each.

These prices are much cheaper than a 20% discount.

She had just finished changing the prices when several female shop owners she knew came in and made their selections.

Bai Zhenzhu and Xia He's goods are the best in Yuanxian's clothing industry. Now they're having a clearance sale, and their coats and down jackets are even cheaper than 20% off. People who couldn't afford them before are now tempted.

Even Sister Sun from next door came over and took a wool coat and a down jacket.

On the first day of the promotion, the combined sales of the two stores exceeded ten thousand yuan.

Adding the clothing store's recent sales figures, she managed to scrape together 20,000 yuan and deposited it in the bank.

The balance is now 14.

As soon as her car left, Nie's mother's bicycle stopped in front of the bank.

Nie Lei got off work a little while later and came out to find his mother waiting for him outside.

"Mom, why didn't you come in and call me?"

Nie's mother looked at her son:

"I just saw Bai Zhenzhu. She often comes here to deposit money?"

Nie Lei frowned:

"Mom, Comrade Bai is also my client. It's normal for her to come and deposit money."

Nie's mother gave her son a reproachful look:

"I didn't say anything, why are you so nervous?"

After saying that, her tone softened:

"Mom is asking you, do you still have feelings for her?"

“That’s not true.” Nie Lei’s expression was very unpleasant: “I’ve already said that my interactions with her were normal work-related. Don’t say things like that and ruin my reputation.”

Nie's mother spoke with the air of someone who had been through it all:

"The fact that you're so worried about ruining someone's reputation shows that you still care about her."

Nie Lei was getting impatient:

"Mom, what exactly do you want to say?"

Mother Nie coughed softly:

"I've discussed it with your dad, and we've decided that when it comes to getting married, you should marry someone you like."

"Although Bai Zhenzhu is divorced, she is still very capable, beautiful, and seems to be a smart woman. She is a good match for you."

Nie Lei was utterly shocked:

"Mom, what do you mean?"

Nie's mother rolled her eyes at him:

“You haven’t agreed to get married yet, and your father and I are getting anxious about it.”

“But son, I don’t think Bai Zhenzhu has any feelings for you. You’re just having a one-sided love.”

Nie Lei could hardly believe his ears, staring at his mother in shock:

“Mom, you…”

He acted as if he didn't recognize Nie's mother at all:

"You looked down on her back then, but now I'm talking to Qiao Ling about marriage, and you're telling me this?"

"Mom, have you heard about the train station being demolished?"

Nie's mother's face turned bright red:

"What nonsense are you talking about? That's not true."

This is clearly true.

Nie Lei's face was very pale:

"You want me to get married, okay? Fine, I'll get married."

"Can you please stop interfering in my affairs?"

……

Bai Zhenzhu drove to Chaoyang Building.

Xiahe's bar is already having its walls painted.

A new type of putty powder has emerged that is finer and stickier than before.

On the other side, her hot pot restaurant is already laying floor tiles.

Two large floor-to-ceiling windows were opened on the wall facing the street, with the same design as Xiao Zhongyun's supermarket and Xia He's bar.

As Bai Zhenzhu left the hot pot restaurant, she suddenly noticed that a new bank had opened at the intersection ahead.

It's the branch of the bank where she deposited her money.

It will be much more convenient to deposit money here in the future; I can just deposit it on my way.

Then she noticed that there were many more shops on the street.

There are hairdressers, photographers, groceries vendors, and most of them, food vendors.

In this day and age, there is no shortage of bold, intelligent, and business-savvy people. There are no shops along the street, let alone shops that can be bought or even rented out.

Bai Zhenzhu was still thinking of finding a few suitable shops to open a braised meat shop and a stir-fry restaurant, but after looking around, she couldn't find any that sold them.

Back at the hot pot restaurant, I saw Xiao Zhongyun sitting in a rocking chair, leisurely drinking tea and enjoying the cool air, with an enamel mug in his hand.

They weren't even afraid of splashing tea on his face.

Upon seeing Bai Zhenzhu, Xiao Zhongyun waved:

"Boss Bai, what are you shaking for?"

This person's dialect is becoming more and more authentic.

Bai Zhenzhu speaks the truth:

"Isn't that market going to be demolished? I'm looking for a shop."

Xiao Zhongyun let out a "Ha":

"What are you looking for? The market they're building for you is almost finished. The government has everything planned out for you. Boss Bai, just wait and see how rich you make."

After saying that, he clicked his tongue regretfully:

"What a pity, I should have bought houses near the train station too."

Bai Zhenzhu knew he was rich, so she wasn't surprised that he talked about hoarding houses as casually as hoarding potatoes; what surprised her was the previous sentence.

"Mr. Xiao, you mean the resettlement site has already been built? Where is it?"

Xiao Zhongyun looked around to make sure no one was watching, then lowered his voice:

"It's over there by the Qingshui River."

“Didn’t they build a whole bunch of new buildings over there? Apart from those few commercial buildings, the rest are all for resettling you relocated residents.”

"They also built a huge market, much bigger than your current one."

Bai Zhenzhu suddenly remembered Huimin Market, the largest market in Yuan City, which she had visited once before.
