Cheng Su was completely unaware that Zhang Jisheng had his eyes on her procurement position. Given that there was an expansion plan, she decided to inquire about the ownership of the land behind Joy Soon Loy.
It was quite a coincidence; the land belonged to a Chinese immigrant from Taiwan. The entire family had emigrated there years ago, and after the owner passed away last year, the family returned the land to the government, receiving a small compensation for it.
Since the land was not very large, only about forty square meters, it hadn’t been sold or traded yet, and was only registered with housing management.
Cheng Suxin was delighted and went to the Ying family, carrying bags of gifts. She expressed her intention to Ying Jian that she wanted to buy the land.
Ying Jian, upon hearing that she had already bought the house from Joy Soon Loy and now wanted this additional piece of land to connect and rebuild, realized it wasn’t a difficult task for him. Especially since she was a close friend of his daughter, who affectionately called him uncle in private.
So, he made a call, gave a few instructions, and told Cheng Su who to contact in which department the next day to handle it.
The next day, Cheng Su followed Ying Jian’s instructions to find the relevant people. Somehow, maybe because of Ying Jian’s prior notice, the price of the land turned out to be surprisingly low, only ten thousand yuan.
To buy land for ten thousand in this era was not bad at all. Ten thousand equaled one hundred thousand in value, and this land would be hers. Combined with Joy Soon Loy, it amounted to over a hundred square meters, enough to build a new restaurant.
Nevertheless, Cheng Su wrapped an additional hundred yuan as a red envelope for the person assisting the transaction and another five hundred yuan for Ying Jian.
She was generous and knew how to maintain relationships. Those helping the process were glad to assist and wrapped up all related paperwork in just three days. The land at the back of the house officially belonged to Cheng Su.
