Chapter 68 The Nature of Men
Around 4 o'clock, all the tenants in Mao Xiaoyu's place were booked, so Mao Xiaoyu prepared to leave.
For the past three or four days, Mao Xiaoyu's schedule has been very regular.
Since buying a computer last time, and with broadband now installed, Mao Xiaoyu plays on the computer every morning after waking up.
Around 10 o'clock, we would arrive at the hospital, first to check on the tenants, and then have lunch with Liu, Guan, and Zhang at a fast food restaurant. After lunch, since it was still early, we would go and greet the tenants.
Around 1 p.m., because of the hot weather and the hospital being closed for the day, Mao Xiaoyu would take a one-hour break.
At 2:30, she would call the tenants again, and this would continue until around 4:00. Usually, after all the tenants had been found, they could leave. At this point, Mao Xiaoyu would go directly to the real estate agency to inquire about matters related to the agency.
Mao Xiaoyu usually stays at the agency until five or six o'clock, then finds a place to eat before going home.
Then I chatted with Yang Ying on QQ, playing on the computer while chatting, until around 10 o'clock before going to sleep. I slept until 7 or 8 o'clock the next morning before getting up to play on the computer again.
If you look at Mao Xiaoyu's daily routine in this way, her time seems to be arranged quite tightly, but it is more out of helplessness, because there are only these things to do every day, and there is nothing else to do.
So, after finishing up with the rental business around 4 PM today, Mao Xiaoyu rode his electric scooter to the real estate agency to learn more about it.
They said they were looking into the agency, but really they were just checking to see if anyone would break the contract and get their deposit back.
After all, Mao Xiaoyu was out of money and was now just waiting for these homeowners to break the contract, cancel the contract, return the deposit, and pay the penalty for breach of contract.
Mao Xiaoyu had already calculated that if the homeowners did not return the deposit and pay the penalty within twenty days, she would prepare to apply for a loan to buy the house. After all, according to the contract, she had to complete the transfer of ownership and give the remaining money to the other party within two months.
If the homeowner doesn't breach the contract, then she can only accept the house and then ask Li Mingyue for a loan to pay the homeowner. In Mao Xiaoyu's view, at worst, she can keep the house for three years until the demolition in 2008.
I sold all these houses to the owner of the demolition company. Although I will lose a little money during these three years, I will make more money in the end.
Therefore, although it seems that she needs to pay more than 1000 million yuan for the 66 properties she has acquired this time, Mao Xiaoyu is not in a hurry at all. Whether the other party breaches the contract or she takes out a loan, it will be in her best interest.
Mao Xiaoyu leisurely rode her electric bike through about ten streets, and was finally almost at the real estate agency.
But before we even reached the real estate agency, about 10 minutes away, we could already see that there seemed to be a lot more people on the street than usual.
And everyone was talking about it, as if something big had happened. This puzzled Mao Xiaoyu. Did everyone have nothing better to do than stay home and gossip?
The thought of gossip made Mao Xiaoyu, a curious Chinese person, want to hear some gossip as well. So she rode her bike slowly and stopped whenever she reached a crowded place to see what gossip people were talking about.
After listening to two or three gossip groups in a row, Mao Xiaoyu finally understood that the demolition notice had been issued and everyone was discussing the demolition.
What? The demolition notice has arrived.
Upon hearing this message, Mao Xiaoyu's heart pounded. After all, this was related to the demolition of her house. She wondered how this demolition notice was different from the one in her previous life.
🇧🇷
If the demolition site is different, although I can't say that Mao Xiaoyu will be completely ruined, she will definitely face trouble next.
Therefore, Mao Xiaoyu listened attentively and then asked gossip-like questions. Finally, she confirmed that the demolition location was exactly the same as the location in her previous life. She finally breathed a sigh of relief, but she was still a little scared because she hadn't seen the demolition notice.
Then she chatted with these gossipers about where the demolition notice was posted. After confirming the location of the notice, she hurriedly rode her electric scooter there. Finally, Mao Xiaoyu saw the demolition notice and read it word by word. Only after confirming that it was correct did she feel relieved.
Thank God, thank Buddha, thank the Taoist, thank Pangu, and thank Grandma for her size!
Our Mao family has finally struck it rich this time!
Upon seeing the demolition notice and confirming that it was the same as in her previous life, Mao Xiaoyu was overjoyed. At this moment, she was beyond words to describe the overwhelming emotions she felt.
What to do? What to do? Mao Xiaoyu was too excited to even ride her bike.
At that moment, Mao Xiaoyu had no intention of daring to ride a bicycle!
I ran into the store, trembling, bought a bottle of Coca-Cola, and took a sip right away.
"Cough, cough, ————."
""
She choked as soon as she put the cola in her mouth and coughed a few times. "Oh, I feel much better now." At this point, Mao Xiaoyu only dared to sip the cola slowly, one small sip at a time, to calm herself down.
After drinking for a full 10 minutes, Mao Xiaoyu finally prepared to leave the store.
"Friend, you haven't paid your three yuan yet."
The shop owner had been watching Mao Xiaoyu the whole time, and now that he saw her trying to leave without paying, he shouted.
Hearing the shopkeeper's shout, Mao Xiaoyu snapped out of her daze and turned back sheepishly, saying:
'
"I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry, I forgot, I forgot."
As he said this, he quickly took money out of his pocket.
"It's okay. Is your area also within the demolition notice zone? Don't be afraid to speak up. Several people are like this today, so excited they're shaking and can't even speak coherently," the shop owner joked.
"Yes, it's my house's turn to be demolished. You don't know, I'm 18 years old now, and I'm still living with my parents in a small house of about 20 square meters. We don't even have a toilet. Life is so tiring. Now we finally see the demolition. At least our house will be much bigger than ours now." Mao Xiaoyu knew that her mentality was suspicious, so she just made up stories.
Of course, Mao Xiaoyu had already placed three yuan on the table while she was speaking.
"Who doesn't live like that? — Don't be fooled by my shop, my own house is only 60 or 70 square meters — five or six people live there — it's tiny — if my house were demolished too, that would be great — but I didn't get to order any extra dishes this time — I wonder when it will be my turn to have my house demolished." The shop owner complained as he collected money.
"It'll be soon. Since our area has been demolished, this area will definitely be included in the plans as well. It will take at most one or two years. If things go wrong, our area might be demolished this year, and yours next year."
Mao Xiaoyu casually flattered him, saying that although she knew the streets here would never be demolished, even by 2025...
Year after year, it's still the same. After all, this street is actually quite good, much bigger than the street that Mao Xiaoyu demolished, so there's no need to demolish it.
"Haha, thank you for your kind words. I'm also looking forward to the demolition next year. If that's the case, then I'll be all set." The shop owner laughed heartily.
"Okay, goodbye boss, let's talk again next time." Mao Xiaoyu said politely, then walked out of the store, got on her electric scooter, took a sip of cola, started the scooter, and headed towards the real estate agency.
Just as Mao Xiaoyu was focused on getting to the real estate agency, she suddenly realized that she had bought so many houses through the agency, and now that the demolition notice had been issued, she wondered what the employees would think of her when she arrived.
Thinking of this, Mao Xiaoyu's electric scooter slowly slowed down and finally stopped on the side of the road.
Why don't we skip today?
Let's wait a couple of days and let things settle down.
After all, this incident brought such a huge surprise to everyone that even he himself was a little overwhelmed, let alone those who helped him buy the house.
Thinking about this, Mao Xiaoyu felt that she had considered things quite thoroughly. She decided to buy some groceries and wine and go back to her own house to celebrate.
As for inviting the store staff to celebrate later, I'll wait until I receive the demolition compensation before celebrating!
After all, there's still a long way to go before receiving the demolition compensation. There's still negotiation to go, and the final amount will depend on that.
Having figured everything out, Mao Xiaoyu turned her electric scooter around and went to the market, where she bought some cooked food and a case of beer before riding home.
After getting home, I turned on the air conditioner first, and then took a shower, since it had been so hot all day and I was covered in sweat.
After taking a shower, Mao Xiaoyu washed her clothes first, and then came out wearing only her underwear. After all, no one was home, and Mao Xiaoyu didn't intend to dress properly.
Because the air conditioner was turned on early, the room had cooled down after such a long time. Mao Xiaoyu first turned on the TV, then laid out the cooked dishes one by one, opened her wine, grabbed a pair of disposable chopsticks, and began to enjoy the food while watching TV.
At this moment, Mao Xiaoyu had no interest in watching TV!
He sometimes even spaces out while eating or drinking.
After all, if things go well this time, I could earn at least 1000 million.
Although Mao Xiaoyu's family had more than 1000 million yuan in her previous life, and even more than that, all that money was tied up in houses; the houses were still the most valuable thing.
The only cash he could actually come up with was a few hundred thousand yuan, and that was from his parents' savings account. As far as Mao Xiaoyu was concerned, ever since he was cheated by his girlfriend in his previous life, he usually only had three to five thousand yuan of pocket money a month, and he never had more than 1 yuan in his pocket.
In his past life, Mao Xiaoyu seemed to be living a carefree life, indulging in eating, drinking, and having fun, and chasing girls whenever he had nothing to do.
But everyone's money is pooled together and used by everyone. Today I treat you, tomorrow you treat us, the day after tomorrow he treats everyone, and so on. By the end of the month, we're all broke.
To put it nicely, she lived a carefree life; to put it bluntly, Mao Xiaoyu, in her forties in her previous life, was just a parasite in her family.
When I'm in a good mood, I'll work at my parents' hair salon for half a month to earn three or four thousand yuan. Then I'll ask my parents for another two or three thousand yuan, go out and have fun for half a month, and when I run out of money, I'll come back and work half a day at my parents' shop. I live like this over and over again.
At that time, his parents were getting old and couldn't do anything about their son. They thought that as long as their son stopped messing around outside, that would be fine. They would wait until he settled down before getting married.
Sigh, I'm over 40 and still can't settle down. In the end, I don't even know how I ended up back in 2005!
Mao Xiaoyu didn't know how to describe his past life. After all, he was deceived by his girlfriend in his past life, and he felt that life was bleak. He had no goals to strive for and just started to live a life of getting by.
This life is different. This time, Mao Xiaoyu has found her goal: to make money quickly. As for how much money? She'll talk about that later.
After all, Mao Xiaoyu herself couldn't guarantee how much money she could make. Therefore, as long as there was a way to make money and it wasn't illegal, Mao Xiaoyu didn't want to let it go.
At worst, I can earn too much money in the future and establish my own charitable foundation to do some charitable work and be of some use to society.
Therefore, Mao Xiaoyu thought of making money through demolition compensation, even though she knew that this approach was somewhat unethical and might plunge a poor family into poverty for life, depriving them of their only hope of turning their lives around.
But Mao Xiaoyu continued to do it, and her methods became increasingly dirty. She wanted to squeeze every last penny out of these people, hoping to extract every last drop of profit from them.
Mao Xiaoyu sometimes asks herself why she does things this way.
Why did I become this kind of person?
The final answer was: it's a man's nature.
No matter which man it is, no matter how weak he is, when he is young, he has a dream: to surpass others and become the most powerful man.
When awake, he wields power over the world; when drunk, he rests on the lap of a beautiful woman.
Which man doesn't think like this?
However, after leaving school, being influenced by society, being taught lessons by society, and being oppressed by class, the man's true nature is eventually destroyed, and he becomes an ordinary person among millions of people.
When you reach your forties and can no longer see the future, you'll become lethargic and live day by day.
When you get old, you'll wonder how things turned out this way.
Seeing others' success and then looking at oneself, one can only helplessly accept reality.
That's how Mao Xiaoyu was in her previous life, which is why she lived a muddled life in her forties.
But in this life, Mao Xiaoyu has a new future, and she can control that future.
This amplifies a man's true nature.
You might not be able to tell normally, but deep down it's always different.
A seed called ambition had already sprouted in my heart.
And it thrives even in places unseen.
Once a certain economic foundation is achieved, the seed of this ambition will grow into a towering tree.
