Stepmother Reborn: Dad, my mom hasn't hit me for three days

Jidong did not go home directly, but went to take a look at the convenience store he invested in.

The clerk here was an old man who knew Jidong. When Jidong asked for the account book, he gave it to him.

Jidong looked through the accounts of the past two years and visited the other two companies. He had a rough idea of ​​what was going on.

He called his partners to the rental house and proposed to break up the partnership.

Brother Lin was a little surprised at his decision, "Why so fast?"

"I want to focus all my energy on work and don't have the energy to manage the store. You guys should do it together." Jidong smiled.

Seeing this, the two stopped trying to persuade him. They sold Jidong his shares according to his previous share. He received 46,000 yuan. 24,000 yuan was the share he had earned in the past two years, and the remaining 22,000 yuan was one-third of his shares, which he sold to them.

Everyone had a farewell dinner at the barbecue restaurant next door and then went their separate ways.

Youcai finished his work and came to find Jidong, "I heard that you have found a job? Congratulations!"

Jidong drank yogurt, which can help sober up. He smiled and said, "I have broken up with Brother Lin and the others. You don't have to take care of them when you buy things in the future."

Youcai runs a barbecue restaurant, and all the drinks and alcohol in his restaurant are from Jidong's partner's store. The price is no cheaper than other stores.

Youcai sensed something was up when he heard his tone and was puzzled, "What happened? Did they break up?"

Jidong sighed, "Perhaps human hearts are the most vulnerable to tests."

He knocked on the table and said, "In the two years since I left, the business in the store is still the same as it was two years ago."

Youcai blurted out, "How is this possible! I could only sell one carload of goods a month before, but now I can sell two. Your store has all the goods, how can it be the same as before?"

Not to mention the convenience store, just take his father-in-law's restaurant for example, its turnover has increased by 50%.

Jidong shook his head. "I looked it up and found that the purchase price of pens is 10% higher. That's why I said that people's hearts cannot stand the test. Let's part ways in peace before we have a falling out."

Youcai understood. He had noticed something was wrong, but he didn't expose them. Instead, he played along. He didn't quite understand Jidong's behavior. "You are too stupid, aren't you?! You should have just exposed them and see how they have the nerve to bully others!"

Jidong didn't want to do that. "After all, they are classmates, and I might need them in the future. When I really need them, I can use them as a bargaining chip. If we find out the truth and break up, I will only get an extra 20,000 yuan at most. This little money is not worth breaking up with me!"

Youcai looked at him for a long while and clicked his tongue. "Aren't you tired of calculating everything? It's not good for your health to keep holding it in."

"It's not like I'm feeling depressed." Jidong patted his shoulder. "I'm just using them as a stepping stone, so how can I feel depressed? Without them, I wouldn't have been able to open this small shop in those days. With them, I make a little money, and I'm already very satisfied."

Youcai thought about it and it made sense. In those days, it was impossible to open a small shop without power. He smiled and said, "It will be better in the future! Many cities in China have opened up now. Ergou opened a brewery, you know? Business is booming!"

Jidong also heard about it, "He really has a good sense of the market!"

"You sold your shares and have a lot of money on hand. Do you want to invest in Ergou?" Youcai suggested.

"Forget it! We can break up as friends! Breaking up as brothers will make it difficult for my aunt." Jidong didn't want to get involved in a relationship of interest with someone close to him. If he plotted against the other person, he was afraid that his aunt would be sad. It would be better not to get involved from the beginning.

Youcai just mentioned it casually, and seeing that he was not happy, he didn't say anything, "So what are you going to do? Buy a house?"

Jidong hadn't figured it out yet, "Now the housing prices have gone up again."

The price of a three-story courtyard house was more than 40,000 yuan before, but now it has risen to more than 80,000 yuan. The money he has on hand is not enough.

Youcai hadn’t bought a house yet, so he didn’t know much about it, so he said, “I think it’s better to buy a building, as it’s more convenient to use water. The courtyard house my dad bought for me is in a good location, but it’s very difficult to decorate, and I have to do it all by myself.”

There were no decoration companies at that time. The contractor he found was only responsible for doing the work, not finding materials, so he had to find someone to get the materials himself, which wasted a lot of time.

Jidong doesn't like high-rise buildings. "If there are more than a dozen families living in one building, the quarrels upstairs can be heard loudly downstairs. If there are children running around, there will be no peace and quiet at home."

He still prefers a single-family house with a separate yard in the countryside where no one will disturb him.

Thinking about the house, Jidong suddenly thought about what he could do with the little money he had.

In a blink of an eye, Zhang Xiuhua arrived in the capital. Jidong had already found a house for her. He introduced all three courtyard houses and said, "The houses are very old and need to be renovated."

Zhang Xiuhua followed Jidong and the real estate agent to look at houses. Why were the houses so old? Some of them didn't even have doors.

Jidong asked Zhang Xiuhua to buy it, "I'll find someone to help you fix it up. I promise it'll be the same as other stores!"

Zhang Xiuhua was slightly surprised, "Don't you have to go to work? Do you have so much time?"

"I don't. I set up a demolition company. They have nothing to do anyway, so they can help you run errands, which can be considered as exercise." Jidong smiled warmly.

Zhang Xiuhua was terrified when she heard this. "Demolition company? Violent demolition?"

"Of course not." Jidong smiled, "The government required the demolition, and the conditions were very generous. The house they were allocated was very large, and they were scrambling to demolish it. This is a lucrative job. If I didn't have connections, I wouldn't have gotten this good deal."

Jidong found the two partners, one of whom had connections in his family, and he implicitly asked them to compensate him.

Seeing that Jidong knew everything but did not expose them, and even agreed to their wishes by withdrawing from the store, the other party did him a favor and helped him get a small project.

The reason why he didn't do it himself was because demolition was too hard and tiring! The store made money quickly! And it was also stable!

When Jidong got the project, he looked for people nearby. He had been in the capital for so many years and knew all kinds of people.

He particularly appreciated young people who were good at speaking and marketing, so he offered them high salaries and asked each of them to serve as lobbyists at the doorsteps of the indigenous people to persuade them to agree to the demolition.

Compared with other demolition teams that used violence and intimidation, they could get the indigenous people to move away obediently just by talking. The higher-ups thought he was reliable and assigned him several more demolition tasks.

In just half a month, he earned more than 30,000 yuan.

The capital is currently undergoing construction, especially in various factories where there are not enough welfare housing, but there is not enough land, so they want to move the original inhabitants away so that they can build welfare housing. There are still many such projects.

Zhang Xiuhua heard something else in his words, "Do you want to do something else?"

Demolition is demolition, why did he help her repair the house? One demolition and one construction, they are completely two projects.

Jidong smiled and said, "You really can't hide anything from me. I was thinking that since we've already demolished it, we'll have to rebuild it. I'll set up a construction team and make some extra money!"

Zhang Xiuhua twitched her lips. She had used the same relationship twice, really, to the extreme. She nodded, "Okay! I'll buy it, and you help me fix it."

"Aunt, these houses are large and have plenty of space for activities. I found them according to your requirements." Jidong asked her which one she liked.

"It's quite big. But the house price has gone up so much, I can't afford it, so I'll just buy the small one." Zhang Xiuhua was upset. The price of the courtyard house has gone up so much that the price of this courtyard house has actually risen to 100,000. This house has used up all her private money.

She hoped that nothing serious would happen next, otherwise she really wouldn't be able to come up with the money.

Jidong nodded, "Then let's go with this four-entry apartment. I'll find someone to install the lights, appliances, and toilet. It will be easier to rent out then."

"Okay!" Zhang Xiuhua handed everything to him. "I trust you to do the job." She was a little worried. "Will it delay your work?"

"It's okay! I'll arrange for my subordinates to do it. I've found a partner and given him 20% of the shares." Jidong told her not to worry.

"so much?"

"If you want the horse to run, you have to let it eat grass. Giving it shares will give it more motivation." Jidong really didn't have that much energy, so he could only find a trustworthy person to help him.

"All right!"
