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

"No...impossible!"

Zhao Tai stared at the contract in his hand.

He turned the pages one by one, and the more he read, the colder his heart became.

Not only does it bear the bright red official seal of Jiangjia Village Committee, but it also has the red steel stamps of the town government, county land bureau, agriculture bureau, forestry bureau, and more!

This is not an ordinary contract!

This is a legally binding and unbreakable "dead contract" with all the necessary procedures!

The legal counsel behind him only glanced over, and cold sweat instantly streamed down his forehead.

It’s over.

The contract is so prestigious that even if someone from the provincial government came, they wouldn't be able to easily overturn it, let alone TEDA Group!

Looking at their dejected appearance, Attorney Zhou's smile grew even colder.

He was like a judge delivering a death sentence, giving Zhao Tai the final, fatal blow.

"Young Master Zhao, please take another careful look at the supplementary terms of the contract, Article Seventeen."

"It's written very clearly above."

"Given the ecological value of the area and the investment in high-tech agriculture, the area has been designated as a 'Provincial-level Special Protection Zone for High-Tech Ecological Agriculture' during the contract period."

Attorney Zhou paused, then spoke clearly and distinctly, word by word:

"Commercial real estate development of any kind is strictly prohibited."

"So, Young Master Zhao..."

"Your dream of owning a private club has been shattered."

Jiang Chen stood up and walked to Zhao Tai.

He looked down at the distraught playboy, his eyes devoid of any pity.

"Also, you just said you'd give each villager 100,000 yuan in compensation for the demolition?"

Jiang Chen's voice wasn't loud, but it carried clearly to the ears of every villager outside the door who was listening intently.

"If I remember correctly, after our last live stream ended and we had a celebration banquet, I distributed the profits to everyone. On average, each household received more than 20,000 yuan, right?"

"Then... only a few days have passed?"

Jiang Chen, having said this, suddenly turned around and, facing the villagers who were craning their necks to watch at the door, shouted at the top of his lungs:

"Fellow villagers!"

"You choose for yourselves!"

"Is it really worth following this kind of person, taking a one-off deal for 100,000 yuan, and then being kicked out of your own home and told to get lost!"

"Or would you rather follow me, Jiang Chen, and receive dividends every year, a monthly salary, and be the master of this land for generations to come?!"

He had barely finished speaking.

"Brother Chen! The money's here!"

Wang Dagou's signature loud voice rang out from outside the courtyard.

Then, to everyone's astonishment...

Wang Dagou and Li Qiang, leading a dozen or so burly young men from the security team, each carrying a huge red plastic basket, rushed in!

Those baskets don't contain anything else!

It's money!

These are bundles of brand-new 100-yuan bills, just withdrawn from the bank, still smelling of ink!

"Splash!"

"Splash!"

Wang Dagou and Li Qiang dumped baskets of cash directly onto the village committee's meeting table!

One bundle, two bundles, ten bundles, one hundred bundles!

The red banknotes instantly piled up into a small mountain!

The intense visual impact made everyone present hold their breath!

The villagers' eyes widened instantly!

Wang Dagou stood with his hands on his hips next to the "mountain of money" and shouted at the top of his lungs:

"Look carefully!"

"This is the money we earned from last night's live stream! Three million! Not a penny less!"

"Brother Chen said! They'll be distributed today! Everyone will get a share!"

"Follow Brother Chen! We'll have meat every meal!"

"Who the hell cares about that 100,000 yuan of dead money!"

This completely tipped the scales of public opinion in Jiang Chen's favor.

"Yes! We'll listen to Chenwa!"

"Who does Zhao Tai think he is! He's just trying to cheat us out of our land!"

"I almost fell for your trick, you bastard!"

The villagers who had just been tempted by the 100,000 yuan now all turned their guns on Zhao Tai and glared angrily.

Second Uncle Jiang Jianmin's mood changes faster than turning the pages of a book.

His eyes practically gleamed with greed as he stared at the mountain of cash.

He rushed forward, pointed at Zhao Tai's nose, and began to hurl insults:

"Get out! You damned liar!"

"How dare they try to cheat us in Jiangjia Village! They even want to steal our land!"

"Pah! Why don't you take a piss and look at yourself in the mirror to see what kind of person you are!"

Zhao Tai was completely bewildered by this sudden turn of events.

He looked at the villagers who had just been smiling at him but now seemed to want to devour him alive, and he trembled with rage.

"You...you..."

"You bunch of unruly people! A bunch of greedy, unruly people!"

Jiang Chen looked at the dramatic scene before him and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

He waved his hand lightly, as if shooing away a fly.

"Big Gou."

"see a visitor out."

"We won't use a forklift this time; it's too rough and will have a bad influence."

Jiang Chen paused, a mischievous smile playing on his lips.

"Just use a water truck."

"Give our young master Zhao, who has come from afar, a good wake-up call."

"Okay!"

Wang Dagou responded excitedly.

Soon, the village's water truck, which was used specifically for watering roadside flowers and plants, rumbled over.

The high-pressure water gun was aimed at Zhao Tai and his several well-dressed entourage.

"Sizzle—!"

Accompanied by the cheerful music of "Wishing You Peace," two thick jets of water, like two white dragons, roared and sprayed accurately.

"what!"

Zhao Tai and his group of so-called elites were instantly soaked to the bone.

The expensive Armani suit clung tightly to his body, outlining his disheveled figure.

Her once slicked-back hair had now fallen flat, dripping water in strands.

Amidst the laughter of the villagers and artificial rain, they scrambled and stumbled their way back to their Maybach in a sorry state.

He looked a hundred times more miserable than last time.
