Chapter 523: Delivery of Phase 1 of Happy Garden Residential Community

Hu Qingwan let Chen Yang continue living in the villa that originally belonged to him and Lin Wei, but Chen Yang politely declined.

On one hand, it's inconvenient for a grown man to live in the same courtyard with three women. Moreover, he is now divorced from Lin Wei.

On the other hand, Hu Qingwan came to Xingcheng solely to monitor him for Lin Wei. Although he would also be willing to remarry, he doesn't like being constantly watched.

Chen Yang does not lack a place to live. When Shen Anna bought two adjacent villas on Jiangmen Dao under the company's name together with Zhao Feiyang, she and Yexin shared one, leaving the other vacant. After moving out of his own villa, Chen Yang had already arranged for Zhao Xiaoli to stay in that vacant villa at the renovation company.

Moreover, the East Jiang Business Alliance Villa where he is temporarily staying is very close to Hu Qingwan's residence; he can go over quickly if needed, so there's no need to go through the trouble of moving again.

After Chen Yang refused her, Hu Qingwan didn't get angry. Every time the family had a meal, she would still call and ask Chen Yang to come over for a free meal.

Chen Yang also sent over his fishing catch as a return gift.

At the end of December, Liu Shijie suddenly came to Jiangmen Dao to find Chen Yang, saying that the Phase 1 project of the Happy Garden Residential Community invested by Xinghui Financial Investment Company in the southern district of Qingshui City had been completed. He asked Chen Yang to arrange personnel to return to Qingshui for acceptance inspection and, by the way, discuss matters concerning cooperation on Phase 2.

The Happy Garden Residential Community project had always been overseen by Yao Xia. But Yao Xia temporarily went to Xinan City, and Huang Bai ming now had to take charge of the renovation project for the old city of East Jiang Second Bridge. After careful consideration, Chen Yang decided to return to Qingshui City himself.

After arriving in Qingshui City, Chen Yang rushed nonstop to the Happy Garden Residential Community to meet Chu Ruowei, the temporary person in charge of Xinghui Financial Investment Company in Qingshui City.

Chu Ruowei is a classmate of Yao Xia and was originally the financial manager of Xinghui Financial Investment Company. After Chen Yang divorced Lin Wei, Yao Xia temporarily assigned her to Qingshui City to serve as the person in charge.

Of course, Yao Xia sent her over this time mainly to handle the financial matters with Sunshine Real Estate.

After the completion of Phase 1 of the Happy Garden Residential Community, Phase 2 was originally intended for Wu's Real Estate, but because Zhao Feiyang shifted his business focus to Xinan City, the projects in Qingshui City were all changed to cooperate with Qi Yunxiang's Sunshine Real Estate.

Accompanied by Chu Ruowei and the project manager of Sunshine Real Estate in Qingshui City, Chen Yang inspected the Phase 1 construction of the Happy Garden Residential Community. It consisted of six eighteen-story elevator buildings, the layout was very reasonable, the community's green belts were sufficient, and overall it was still quite livable.

Thus, he had Chu Ruowei stay behind to handle follow-up work with the Sunshine Real Estate project manager, while he himself drove to Old Hundred Meat Industry Co., Ltd.

"Boss, you're back?" Chun Ye from the reception room saw Chen Yang's car from afar, smiled, and ran out to greet him.

Chen Yang also smiled and greeted him: "Chun Ye, how have you been lately?"

"Very good, thank you for your concern, Boss!" Chun Ye laughed happily, but had no intention of opening the main gate.

Seeing this, Chen Yang instinctively asked: "Chun Ye, has anything else happened at the company?"

"The company is fine; there have been no recent accidents." Chun Ye smiled, then lowered his voice and asked Chen Yang: "Boss, I heard that the topping-out of Phase 1 of the Happy Garden Residential Community has been completed. Is your earlier promise to give company employees a half-price housing quota still valid?"

Seeing that he was concerned about this, Chen Yang smiled and said: "I came back this time precisely to handle this matter. I will soon have Manager Song post an announcement on the publicity board explaining it; you can also go take a look."

Chun Ye waved his hand and said: "Boss, I'm still on duty. Let's look later?"

Chen Yang smiled and asked: "Then can I go in now?"

"Sure! Sure!" Chun Ye quickly opened the company's main gate.

Chen Yang drove to the office building of Old Hundred Meat Industry Co., Ltd. and then directly found the company's overall person in charge, Song Yajun.

"Old Song, the Phase 1 construction of the Happy Garden Residential Community has been topped out. According to my earlier promise, employees with over ten years of seniority can enjoy a 50% discount. New employees with over five years also enjoy the same treatment. Later, you compile a list and see who needs it."

Song Yajun had been pressed by the company's executives and veteran employees about housing these past days, feeling annoyed and restless, almost getting angry. Seeing Chen Yang return and immediately handle this matter, he felt deeply moved.

After all, although Chen Yang doesn't manage daily operations, he truly treats the employees well. Salaries increase every year, benefits are better than those of other enterprises in Qingshui City, and now he is also solving the most important housing problem in people's lives for everyone.

"Boss, should we gather everyone together for a meeting?"

Chen Yang originally intended to hold a general staff meeting, but after entering the company he changed his mind.

Soon it will be New Year's Day again, and the e-commerce platform and physical stores of Old Hundred Agricultural Products Trading Company are urgently stocking up. If production is delayed at this time, it will invite many unnecessary troubles.

He said to Song Yajun: "Old Song, later you post a notice on the company's publicity board, letting eligible employees fill out an application form. For those who don't know how, you find someone to teach them."

Song Yajun again asked Chen Yang: "Boss, how exactly is the price of the Happy Garden Residential Community housing calculated?"

Chen Yang said: "The sales department starts external sales at a base price of 3,000 yuan per square meter. Our company uniformly calculates at 1,500 yuan per square meter. Everyone draws lots together; whoever draws a high floor buys a high floor, whoever draws a low floor buys a low floor."

Song Yajun hesitated a bit and said: "Boss, our company's ordinary employees earn only 1,500 yuan per month. A 100-square-meter apartment, even without eating or drinking, would take over eight years to save up for. Isn't that a bit high?"

Chen Yang told him: "For an ordinary person to be able to buy a house in eight years is already fortunate. You think housing is expensive now, but you will find that it will only become more expensive in the future."

Song Yajun did not doubt Chen Yang's words, because this boss's forward-looking foresight is invincible; he basically can accurately grasp market changes.

Since Chen Yang believes that future housing prices in Qingshui City will rise, they certainly will!

"Boss, I'll go make the arrangements right away!"

"Wait!" Chen Yang suddenly thought of something, immediately called out to Song Yajun, and added: "For those who have been assigned dormitory buildings in the company, when exchanging for a new house they can offset their old residence for 50,000 yuan in cash."

Upon hearing this, Song Yajun immediately became excited. Because veteran employees basically all have dormitory buildings. They can offset their old houses for cash, so they only need to pay 100,000 yuan for the new house. If a couple both work, they only need three years to pay off the house price.

In this way, everyone's housing purchase pressure instantly drops.

"Boss, you're truly a good person; I thank you on behalf of all the company's employees!"
