Chapter 624

Hearing the word "wasted" made Wang Yikun feel particularly harsh.

Shen Ci's implication was to mock the fact that Sun Yue and Wang Li were wasting their time by following Wang Yikun. She had indeed figured out Wang Yikun's character thoroughly. For someone like him, who had strong self-esteem, loved to save face, and liked to consider himself the center of the human world, there was no need for any vicious rhetoric; two simple words were enough to break his defenses.

Wang Yikun suppressed his anger and clenched his fists tightly. It wasn't until Shen Ci and the others left the lecture hall that he slammed his fist onto the table.

Then, remembering that he still owed Shen Ci seven yuan and nine mao, he got so angry that he punched it again. He didn't care about the intense pain coming from his knuckles.

As he was packing his things to leave, he paused when passing the podium. He turned his head to look at the paper with Shen Ci's perfect score that Teacher Zhuang had left there. A fire of jealousy burned in his eyes; he grabbed it, crumpled it into a ball, and threw it directly into the trash can.

On the way back to the dormitory, Shen Ci suddenly received a call from Uncle Yang.

Usually, if Uncle Yang had something to say, he would send a WeChat message. In this day and age, unless there was an emergency, people who were familiar with each other rarely contacted each other by phone.

Shen Ci swiped right to answer, interrupting the slightly urgent ringtone. "Uncle Yang."

"Ah Ci!"

Although they were separated by the phone, the moment Boss Yang spoke, Shen Ci felt his excitement and joy from his tone. Before Shen Ci could ask, she heard Boss Yang say, "Good news, good news."

Shen Ci stopped and sat down on a bench by the side of the road. "What good news?"

"The official approval for the key development and construction of the Yangming District has been announced!"

Shen Ci, who had just sat down, jumped up excitedly upon hearing this. "Really?"

"Of course it's true. I'll send it to you in a moment!" Uncle Yang said with emotion, "We really bet on the right horse. The unfinished building project we took on is right in the center of Yangming District. Housing prices are going to more than double in the future."

"Double?" Shen Ci was slightly surprised.

Although large-scale development and reconstruction directly affect land and housing prices, wouldn't doubling be too exaggerated?

Then she heard Boss Yang say happily, "What? You don't believe it? Let me tell you, Ah Ci, there are a few key points in this approval. The first is that the development and construction approval announces the construction of the 'Longcheng North Station' in Yangming District. This will be the fourth train station in Longcheng, and in the future, it will also be the largest train station in Longcheng, or even China."

"Secondly, the approval adds two new subway lines to the existing ones in Yangming District, totaling more than 35 stations. I won't list the other reconstruction projects one by one; you'll see for yourself when the time comes. Can you understand what this means for Yangming District?"

She could understand, because at this moment, the smile on her face could no longer be suppressed.

She hadn't taken the unfinished buildings Uncle Yang mentioned to heart, because her investment focus was on the acquired factory enterprises and a huge industrial park.

If Yangming District was about to see such major movements, then her land—not all of it, but at least more than half—would be acquired by the government at a high price.

Then she would be like a relocated household, and a relocated household plus!

Boss Yang on the phone continued: "This news is not small, and it came suddenly. I had thought before that Yangming District would move, but I didn't expect it to be so fast. This leadership team has been in office for less than half a year, and they've actually burned the 'three fires' of their new term so brightly. I estimate that many people won't be able to sit still. Yangming District is now a mine waiting to be excavated. Longcheng is going to be lively!"

Shen Ci just smiled faintly upon hearing this. She didn't care about other things, let alone manage them; she herself was already well-fed.

Evening, restaurant.

"Ah Ci, did it really appreciate in value?"

Pili looked at the official announcement document Shen Ci sent her and read it twice, still finding it hard to believe.

Because, under Shen Ci's recommendation, she had bought two properties in Yangming District with the money she earned, and later secretly added another one. There was no other reason; she knew that houses were real estate, and even if they didn't appreciate in the future, she wouldn't lose too much.

But she actually believed in Ah Ci in her heart, otherwise she wouldn't have bought in Yangming District, which was so far away that she had never even been there to live.

It was purely investing by following Ah Ci's vision.

As a result, it hadn't even been half a year, and Yangming District was really going to be developed and reconstructed?

Shen Ci drank some water and said with a smile, "In such matters, real estate companies and housing agencies are usually the fastest to react. If you don't believe me, open the app now and see if there are any changes in the housing prices of the communities you invested in."

Pili hurriedly picked up her phone upon hearing this. Lianxing, who was on the side, asked anxiously, "No, why didn't you take me with you?"

"Do you have money?" Shen Ci looked at Lianxing and asked directly.

Lianxing: "..."

She wasn't short of money; her pocket money in her card, ranging from tens to hundreds, had never stopped.

But Lianxing knew she was different from Ah Ci and Pili. Their money was earned by themselves.

And she had to ask her family for it!

Shen Ci said directly, "Yangming District is Longcheng, after all; housing prices won't be that low even when they are low. Can you ask your uncle and aunt for a few thousand yuan to invest?"

No matter how rich the Gu family was, they wouldn't take out thousands of yuan for their daughter to mess around with. At least in their eyes, they would feel that Lianxing was messing around.

Gu Lianxing curled her lips. "But if I say it's your idea, maybe they will agree. My dad approves of you very much."

Shen Ci shook her head. "Uncle Gu won't agree."

Shen Ci knew she had opened her "third eye," but in the eyes of others, no matter how excellent she was, she wouldn't become someone who was trusted unconditionally.

Gu Lianxing naturally knew this principle too. Thousands of yuan—even if her parents spoiled her, she couldn't get that much money all at once.

"Ah Ci, it really went up!"

Pili raised her head; it was rare to see her look so excited. "It went up, basically doubled or more. But the number of houses for sale has suddenly decreased. I filtered for Yangming District and after refreshing a few times, I reached the bottom."

"That's normal. With such a big movement, the instinctive reaction of both owners and real estate developers is to wait and see. Removing housing information is the first step. I estimate that when they are listed again, the increase won't be as simple as doubling."

This money was earned too easily. Pili looked at Shen Ci very gratefully and said, "Thank you, Ah Ci. If it weren't for your good vision and ability to see the potential of Yangming District, I would never have thought of investing in property in Yangming District in my life."

Shen Ci smiled slightly. That was just Pili; she hadn't mentioned a word to anyone else.

Some people had even been tricked by her once.

Not long after, the person who had been tricked arrived in a rage.

"Shen Ci! You're something else, hiding it from me so deeply, treating me like a fool, aren't you?"
