My Realistic Simulation Game

Chapter 206 You've Come Home

Seeing this, Liu Jun, who had been listening in but couldn't get a word in edgewise, hurriedly pulled Feng Lun aside: "Brother Feng, Brother Feng! What about me? Old Pan has work to do, what am I supposed to do? I can't just stand here all day, can I?"

Feng Lun laughed heartily: "Don't worry, you'll be given plenty of tasks."

He stared at Liu Jun for a few moments, then suddenly had an idea: "Let's go, Da Jun, come out with me."

Liu Jun was somewhat stunned: "Go out?"

"You'll know when we get there," Feng Lun said mysteriously, leading a bewildered Liu Jun downstairs.

A short while later, the Volga sedan the two were riding in stopped in front of a courtyard house that looked quite old but was rather large.

The gate to the courtyard was tightly closed, but faint sounds of voices and the smell of cooking oil could be heard from inside, indicating that more than one family lived there.

"Brother Feng, why did you bring me here?" Liu Jun looked at the grand courtyard in front of him, and then at the quiet alley around him, full of doubt.

This doesn't look like a commercial venue.

Feng Lun pointed to the courtyard gate, his expression becoming more serious: "Dajun, this courtyard has a long story. It was originally the ancestral home of our company's founding father, Old Master Zhang. Later, it was taken over during a special period, and the property rights have been unclear ever since, with the neighborhood committee managing it on his behalf."

“Years ago, the neighborhood committee allocated this place to several families, and they have lived here for decades.”

"Some time ago, Mr. Qin spent a lot of effort to completely clarify and buy out the property rights of this courtyard house from the neighborhood committee. All the procedures are complete and in black and white."

Feng Lun emphasized, "However, the families currently living here have already made this place their own home and refuse to move out no matter what; they've become holdouts."

He looked at Liu Jun with a meaningful gaze: "President Qin and Old Master Zhang are both living in Sakura Alley now. Their identities are sensitive, so it's not appropriate for them to personally handle this kind of messy and troublesome matter."

“You’re new to Yanjing, so it’s convenient for you to handle things. I was thinking of entrusting this matter to you. Find some reliable people and use your methods to get these people inside to move out according to the rules. After clearing it out, I’ll find a professional construction team to come in and properly renovate and restore it to its original state.”

Upon hearing this, Liu Jun's eyes widened, and he almost burst out laughing: "That's...that's all?"

Feng Lun raised an eyebrow: "What? Do you think this is too small a matter, and that you're being wronged? Or do you think these holdouts in the capital are more troublesome than those in Qiongzhou, and that you can't handle them?"

"No! Brother Feng, please don't provoke me!"

Liu Jun thumped his chest loudly, his face full of confidence and even a hint of contempt. "I think, does such a small matter really need you, President Feng, to personally handle it?"

“You don’t know that in Qiongzhou, I do most of my work by mediating disputes, and I specialize in dealing with all kinds of demolition problems and holdout households.”

"I'm a professional at taking care of them!"

Feng Lun was genuinely taken aback: "You...you actually did this kind of thing in Qiongzhou?"

In his memory, Liu Jun was straightforward, but when he was with them, he mostly handled things like coordinating fieldwork.

Liu Jun waved his hand, quite pleased with himself: "Hey! Didn't you, Gongquan, and Shiyi head north first?"

"I have to find some way to make a living in Qiongzhou, right? I've been helping a few developers deal with land issues. What haven't I seen? Don't worry, Brother Feng, Mr. Qin's matter is a small one!"

“We have the property ownership certificate in hand, and Mr. Zhang is still the original owner. The law and reason are on our side. To occupy the property and refuse to leave is just being a rogue!”

He held up one finger and said confidently, "You just wait and see, in less than a week, I guarantee I'll have this yard spotless and they'll all move out!"

One week.

Liu Jun kept his word.

He is loyal, but he also understands the ways of the underworld.

The first step is to use diplomacy before resorting to force.

They went to the door with the property ownership documents and the street's notice, explaining things politely and reasonably.

There were four households. One household felt embarrassed and knew they were in the wrong, so they wanted to move away the next day, but were persuaded to stay by the other three households.

He's clearly a seasoned veteran, determined to get away with it, adopting a "dead pig doesn't fear boiling water" attitude.

The speaker was very blunt: "Move out? Fine! We've lived here for decades, we've done our part, haven't we? We deserve compensation! Relocation fee, renovation fee, moving fee, compensation for emotional distress... not a single thing can be missing!"

When the news reached Qin Yuan, he came to see for himself.

Looking at the once elegant courtyard house that had been illegally expanded and divided into unrecognizable parts, with the yard piled with clutter, and hearing the other party's righteous demand for huge compensation, he almost laughed out of anger.

Without saying a word, he directly gave Liu Jun full authority to handle the matter: "Dajun, do it according to your rules. As long as it's not illegal, resolve it as soon as possible." Having obtained Qin Yuan's "imperial sword," Liu Jun was even more motivated.

His methods were simple and direct, yet extremely effective.

First the water was cut off, then the power was cut off.

In the 1990s, the living facilities in the courtyard houses were already very basic. Many families did not have private bathrooms and had to go to public toilets and use the public water taps in the courtyard.

After these measures, even basic living has become a major problem.

In addition, since the property rights were previously owned by the public, they felt justified in occupying them.

Now that the property rights are clear, and with the arrival of a reckless character like Liu Jun, it's naturally difficult to cope.

The family that was initially planning to move out was too ashamed to stay any longer, so they moved out the next day.

Liu Jun thoughtfully called for help and arranged for a car to help with the moving.

However, he then directly hired a renovation team and even invited two experienced craftsmen who knew how to restore ancient buildings, and began a large-scale restoration renovation of the vacated part of the house and the public areas of the courtyard.

The sounds of electric drills and hammers echoed from morning till night, building materials were piled up everywhere, and dust was flying everywhere.

Liu Jun even got himself a cot and lived in the unfinished gatehouse, keeping watch as if he were preparing for a protracted war.

These families were disturbed day and night by the noise. They had to shamelessly borrow food and water from their neighbors. They couldn't watch TV or sleep well.

The initial intention to take advantage of the situation quickly crumbled in the face of extreme inconvenience.

In addition, with the neighborhood committee constantly visiting their home to persuade them, their own children also felt ashamed and came back to advise their parents to stop while they were ahead.

Seeing that Liu Jun was unmoved by either soft or hard tactics, and Qin Yuan showed no sign of compromise, continuing the stalemate would only make things worse.

In the end, the remaining three families could only pack up their belongings and move away from the courtyard they had "occupied" for decades.

The seven-day agreement was made, not a day more or less.

Upon receiving the news that the courtyard had been completely emptied, Qin Yuan immediately rushed to Yinghua Hutong. Standing at the entrance of this courtyard that had finally returned to tranquility, he was filled with emotion.

He then asked Wu Weiguo to invite Old Zhang over.

He kept everything from buying the property rights to confirming the ownership, then evicting the residents and starting renovations a secret from Old Zhang, just to give him a surprise.

Soon, Wu Weiguo not only brought over Old Zhang, but also Pan Shiyi, Feng Lun, Yi Xiaodi, Wang Qifu and others who had heard the news came over curiously, wanting to see what results Liu Jun had achieved in the past seven days.

"Yuanzi, why did you have Wei Guo summon me here in such a hurry?"

Old Zhang looked at Qin Yuan and his core members standing at the entrance of the courtyard house, his face blank. "This place... sigh, it's depressing to look at. If there's anything, why don't we just go to your house and talk? It's not far."

Liu Jun had treated this place like home for the past seven days, knowing every brick and tile better than anyone else. He stepped forward with a grin and said, "Uncle Zhang, you really have to go inside and take a look at this place today!"

As he spoke, he and Wang Qifu, one on each side, half-invited and half-pushed, accompanied Old Zhang inside.

As soon as he entered the courtyard, Old Zhang was stunned.

Although some building materials were still piled up in the yard, making it look somewhat messy, the unsightly illegal structures had been demolished, revealing the original orderly layout.

The eaves and corridors that were once divided and occupied have been restored to openness. Although the renovation is not yet complete, the familiar yet unfamiliar atmosphere of the old house has already begun to return.

The old man stopped in his tracks, his eyes somewhat dazed, as if he had traveled through time.

He hesitated, slowly turning his body, looking around at every corner, his lips trembling slightly.

“Yuanzi…this…this is…” Old Zhang’s voice trembled slightly as he looked at Qin Yuan.

Qin Yuan stepped forward, took a brand-new document bag from Wu Weiguo, pulled out a "Property Ownership Certificate" stamped with a bright red seal, and solemnly handed it to Old Zhang.

“Uncle Zhang,” Qin Yuan said softly, “I’ve bought this courtyard back for you. From today onwards, it is completely and intact returned to its rightful owner.”

"You're home."
