I couldn't take it anymore; when I went home for Chinese New Year, the family genealogy book ha

Zhao Tai pointed at Jiang Chen, his fingers trembling.

"Jiang Chen!"

"Stop being so smug!"

"Don't think that just because you have some prestige in the village, you can act with impunity!"

"Today, this is a business negotiation! We are here to legally and compliantly reclaim this land!"

The top-notch legal counsel beside him immediately stepped forward, adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses, and said in a cold, emotionless tone:

"Hello, Mr. Jiang."

"According to Article 32 of the Land Contract Law and relevant provisions of the Land Administration Law, if land needs to be requisitioned due to special reasons such as national construction or township public works construction during the contract period, the village collective may legally reclaim the contracted land after fulfilling the legal procedures."

"Our TEDA Group's project has been listed as a key investment attraction project by the city, and it fully meets the definition of 'major development'."

"Of course, we will also provide you with three times the cost of your contracted investment as economic compensation, in accordance with laws and regulations."

The legal counsel spoke flawlessly, exuding the authority of the law.

Upon hearing this, Uncle Jiang Jianmin immediately straightened his back.

He puffed out his chest and jumped out again, pointing at Jiang Chen's nose to chime in.

"Did you hear me, Chenwazi?!"

"This is legal! It's a major project supported by the city!"

"You can't be so selfish! Five hundred million! This is a great thing that can benefit the whole village! You can't stop the whole village from getting rich!"

Jiang Chen didn't even glance at him.

He walked to the table, unscrewed the lid of the thermos, slowly blew on the steam inside, and took a small sip.

The scalding hot tea slid down my throat, dispelling the chill of the morning.

He put down his cup and his gaze finally fell on Jiang Jianmin.

"Second Uncle."

Jiang Chen's voice was calm.

"You spent all the prize money you received from the last anti-fraud campaign in the village so quickly?"

"What's wrong?"

"Trying to switch masters again and become a collaborator?"

Jiang Jianmin blushed at Jiang Chen's words, his neck shrank back, and his arrogance instantly diminished. He dared not utter another word.

Jiang Chen then turned his gaze to Zhao Tai.

"Triple compensation?"

Jiang Chen laughed, a laugh that carried an undisguised mockery.

"Do you know how much my glass greenhouse cost, just for the intelligent temperature control system alone?"

"Do you know how much the technician I hired from the Netherlands earns per day?"

"Do you know how much my 'miracle strawberry' can sell for on the market?"

Anyone can brag!

Zhao Tai burst into hysterical laughter, his laughter filled with madness.

"It's just a few lousy strawberries, what's the big deal!"

"I've got tons of money! I'll bury you in cash today!"

"OK."

Jiang Chen's expression remained calm and composed.

He casually sat back down in his chair and picked up his thermos.

"Since you want to play the legal game, then let's have a proper talk about the law."

After Jiang Chen finished speaking, he didn't even turn his head, but simply snapped his fingers lightly in the direction of the door.

"Smack."

The crisp sound was particularly clear in the quiet conference room.

next second.

A middle-aged man, dressed in a bespoke suit, with his hair neatly combed and wearing a Patek Philippe watch, exuding an air of sophistication, walked in from outside, carrying a thick briefcase.

The moment he entered the room, the atmosphere of the entire conference room changed instantly.

The legal counsel Zhao Tai hired turned pale the moment he saw the newcomer.

His lips trembled, and he instinctively took a step back, his voice filled with terror and disbelief.

"Zhou... Attorney Zhou?!"

"You...how did you get here?!"

Attorney Zhou is undoubtedly the king of the legal profession in the provincial capital. No case he has handled has ever had a value of less than nine figures!

Rumor has it that his consultation fee is as high as six figures per hour!

How could such a powerful and elusive figure appear in the village committee of this remote and impoverished place?

The man known as "Attorney Zhou" ignored his colleague, who was already terrified.

He walked straight to Jiang Chen's side and bowed slightly respectfully.

"Mr. Jiang, all the documents you requested are here."

Jiang Chen nodded without even lifting his eyelids.

"Show him."

"Yes."

Attorney Zhou walked to the conference table, opened his briefcase, and took out a document.

He slammed the file down on the table with a loud "bang".

The force was so strong that the teacup on the table jumped.

"Young Master Zhao, is that right?"

Attorney Zhou's gaze was as sharp as a scalpel, piercing straight into Zhao Tai.

"Please look carefully."

"This was just yesterday afternoon at the County Land and Resources Bureau, where the final registration was completed and the official seal was affixed—"

"Land Transfer and Forest Tenure Transfer Contract (Ultra-Long Term)!"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Tai's expression changed drastically.

Jiang Chen's smile deepened as he looked at Jiang Chen's astonished expression.

He slowly blew on the tea leaves in his cup and said softly, almost in a declarative tone:

"I'm sorry, Young Master Zhao."

"Starting from four o'clock yesterday afternoon, every hilltop within a ten-mile radius of this back mountain, every stone buried underground, every bird flying in the sky, and every pheasant running on the ground..."

"I signed a 50-year exclusive rights agreement."

"Now."

Jiang Chen raised his head, revealing a smile that sent chills down Zhao Tai's spine.

"This is my private property."

"You want to develop my property?"

"sure."

"Call me 'Dad' first, and I'll see if it rings."
