Chapter 133: Chapter 133: None Lacking Money

Everyone perked up at the mention of being able to buy the villas at the internal purchase price, so all eyes once again surveyed the situation here.

Chu Ning said, "Well then, let’s buy the houses here. After purchasing them, I’ll find someone to renovate thoroughly, and there should be no problem."

Everyone seemed to agree with this approach, so it was decided to buy the houses here.

There was no need to head to a conference room to discuss. A vote was taken right there and then, deciding to sell all the property here unanimously, and it was even approved by the county.

Chu Ning smiled and said, "Since everyone wants to buy, I think we should just buy it outright instead of doing anything like borrowing money."

Li Xiaoming said with a laugh, "We’ll just buy it at the current market price. Everyone should get their money ready, and let the Office take care of this."

Ji Yang said, "Speaking of the Office, I am still acting as the Office Director. I should start to consider issues related to the cadres."

Chu Ning said, "We also need to understand the situation further, you continue for now."

Zhou Shuo said, "Okay then, our living situation is resolved. What’s the situation with the Office space? I heard it was just renovated too, yet problems arose immediately. Qingyuan Village seems rather odd. Should we redo the renovation?"

Ji Yang chuckled internally, noticing their reservations about the offices.

Indeed, Ning Weisheng said, "The previous leaders of this village definitely had some problems with their work style. Since that’s the case, we can’t possibly work in those luxuriously renovated offices. I’m going to switch to a more modest office anyway; I can’t let the public think us corrupt."

Cao Zhongyuan said, "I agree with this view. The new team should set a new tone. We can’t mess around."

Ji Yang said, "If that’s the case, we’ll only be able to work from the original offices."

"What original offices?" Li Xiaoming asked.

Ji Yang explained, "The reason those new offices were renovated is that they belonged to the previous batch of leaders I worked with in the Party and Government Office. They thought after those leaders died tragically in a car accident that the offices were ill-omened, and so they changed them for renovation."

At these words, everyone fell silent.

After a while, Li Xiaoming hesitantly asked, "Isn’t there another place we could work from?"

"Now, we only have this office building."

Chu Ning said, "Since the new area is developing, hasn’t there been thought to move the office district there? That way, we would be closer to the masses and serve them better."

"There was such a plan indeed, intending to move the government there, but after the incident, it left a vacant plot there."

Chu Ning said, "I think we can fully implement this. This place is too far from the development zone. I believe that neighborhood can be treated as a development zone itself, and the entire township government could move there, selling this site to a real estate company for new development."

"Secretary Chu, I think that’s an excellent idea."

Everyone concurred in droves.

Cao Guohui had been listening all along and now spoke up, "Since you all have such plans, we need to take this matter seriously."

Chu Ning said, "Now, Qingyuan’s real estate is appreciating rapidly. We could fully swap with a real estate company, have them build the township government in exchange, and give them this plot. I’ll take care of this."

Clearly, he had decided to intervene in this matter.

Li Xiaoming said, "Since Qingyuan has such potential, surely many companies will be interested in coming. I will also guide some businesses here. Let’s all work hard to build up our area."

Ji Yang looked around at everyone, noticing that none were short on funds and, apparently, they all had extensive connections.

Cao Guohui said, "Let’s unite and work together. I’m sure we can do a good job. Right, let’s not linger any longer, the next steps are up to you."

Li Fangliang said, "I also believe that with your arrival, work in Qingyuan Village can take a significant leap forward."

Although everyone wanted to invite them for a meal, not a single person was willing to stay longer.

After the leaders left, Chu Ning said, "Let’s do this, Mr. Ji Yang, if you could take the trouble to discuss with President Qian. For now, we should set up an office there. We’ll begin to vacate this place and plan to move to the new location for work in the future."

Everyone nodded slightly, showing clear support for this.

Li Xiaoming said, "Let’s get the comrade in charge of real estate to work hard on selling off the property as soon as possible."

Ji Yang knew these tasks were his to do, so he promptly said, "All right, I’ll notify everyone to proceed immediately."

Chu Ning laughed, "Indeed, we still need one or two comrades familiar with the situation here, and since Mr. Ji Yang knows it well, it’s just extra hard work for you."

"It’s not too much trouble; only by organizing everyone’s living can we serve better. Oh, and if you want to hire housekeepers or such, better go with the guesthouse. There shouldn’t be much issue now, or you can find them on your own, as it’s essential we look after everyone’s daily life, right?"

Li Xiaoming laughed, "We dare not use locals, too risky."

Everyone burst into laughter.

Being mostly people in their thirties, they found common topics to share.

Ji Yang smiled and said, "I can’t do much on this matter; everyone will have to manage on their own."

"That’s fine, don’t worry about that. Just make sure the housing matter is well taken care of. As for renovations and such, it’s safer if everyone finds their own contractors," Chu Ning also seemed somewhat concerned.
