"I am the person in charge here." Lin Chuan stepped out.

"You?" The man stared at Lin Chuan, somewhat incredulous, frowning. Lin Chuan's attire didn't look like that of a rich person at all. This is such a large property, and the prices are so high, with so many buyers, theoretically, it should be someone very wealthy and ostentatious. However, Lin Chuan's clothing; you'd probably lose him in a crowd.

"That's right!" Lin Chuan nodded, saying, "Go ahead, how much deposit did you pay?"

"Fifty thousand." The man said, "Give me back the fifty thousand, and I won't make things difficult for you."

Lin Chuan turned to look at the sales lady, and she nodded, saying, "Yes, he indeed paid fifty thousand."

"Refund him." Lin Chuan glanced at her, saying, "Return it to him in full."

"Huh?!" The sales lady was taken aback, saying, "Chairman Lin, this... isn't appropriate, is it? There's no such rule in the industry. Deposits are non-refundable."

"Rules are dead, but people are alive." Lin Chuan laughed, saying, "I think he just felt that the price of thirteen thousand was too expensive, which is why he's causing a fuss to get a refund. So let's give the money back to him. We have the best properties in Jiangbei City, the most beautiful environments. Since he doesn't want it, naturally someone with taste will. Refund the money to him, and put his house back on sale."

"Yes!" The sales lady heard and had no choice but to nod in agreement. Since the boss agreed, she, as a sales person, didn't have the authority to disagree.

Soon, the finance department counted out fifty thousand. They had the other party write a receipt, sign it, and put a fingerprint on it.

The man left, satisfied with the fifty thousand, and as he was leaving, he said with a smile, "You should never be afraid to make a fuss, because in this world, the crying baby gets the milk. Understand?"

A group of people looked at him speechlessly.

"Chairman Lin." The manager of the sales department hurried over.

"It's fine now." Lin Chuan shook his head, saying, "In such situations, you should decisively refund the money."

"Why?" The manager asked curiously, "In such cases, the money shouldn't be refunded. Even if we went to court, he wouldn't win."

"This enhances our image." Lin Chuan laughed, "So many people are watching. If you stubbornly refuse to refund the money, it leaves a terrible impression, as if you're telling them your properties aren't selling. If you swiftly refund him, people will think the developer is very capable, not worried at all about selling properties. It's an intangible image that stimulates the desire to buy. Understand?"

"Yes, yes!" The manager quickly wiped his sweat, saying, "Wow, listening to your words is better than studying for ten years."

"Haha!" Lin Chuan laughed heartily, "You're exaggerating."

After the commotion at the sales office, Lin Chuan returned to the construction site.

The construction site was still busy. The concrete road at the entrance was full of potholes. The potholes were filled with a lot of yellow muddy water. When a car passed by, it splashed the water.

Splush...

As he was crossing the road, a van sped by. A splash of yellow muddy water hit Lin Chuan.

"Holy crap." Lin Chuan cursed out loud, "In a hurry to be reincarnated, huh."

His clothes were dirty and soaked, fortunately, the weather had warmed up. If it were colder, it would have been tough.

He entered the construction site, and everyone was curiously looking at Lin Chuan.

"Brother Chuan, what happened to you?" Everyone curiously asked.

"Isn't it because of the slope at the entrance?" Lin Chuan took off his clothes and wrung them dry, cursing, "Hurry up and get someone to fix the road at the entrance. It's a mess."

"Haha..." Everyone laughed out loud, saying, "Someone falls for it every day."

Lin Chuan, shirtless, exposed his firm muscles.

"Wow, Brother Chuan, your muscles are so firm." Everyone looked at Lin Chuan with envy.

"It's nothing!" Lin Chuan smiled.

The muscles he showed were just the tip of the iceberg. The real muscles were hidden within his body. Because he trained active muscles, they only showed during explosive moments. This type of muscle is fundamentally different from the static muscles of gym trainers. Moreover, many gym muscles are built through protein powders, which are far inferior to Lin Chuan's muscles, accumulated through years of effort.

"If only we could have muscles like that." Everyone said enviously.

"Work hard and keep exercising, and you can achieve it." Lin Chuan smiled.

At this time, Zhou Rui drove in from outside. She curiously looked at Lin Chuan, asking, "Why are you shirtless?"

"It's because of that road at the entrance." Lin Chuan replied grumpily.

Splush...

"You got caught too?" Zhou Rui burst out laughing.

"Yeah!" Lin Chuan nodded and said, "That road is ours, you better find someone to fix it quickly. Those big trucks run over it every day, something's going to happen sooner or later."

"That road is managed by the road authority, not us." Zhou Rui pursed her lips and said, "We pay taxes to the government, they should fix that road. Why should we be the ones to repair it?"

"You're expecting the road authority to fix it for you?" Lin Chuan looked at Zhou Rui and said with displeasure, "I think you should save your breath. It's already good enough they haven't impounded your transport trucks."

"We are taxpayers!" Zhou Rui protested.

"Yes, you are taxpayers." Lin Chuan nodded and then said, "But so what if you're taxpayers? Who's guaranteeing your interests?"

"I..." Zhou Rui was at a loss for words.

"That road is only about a kilometer or two." Lin Chuan said, "To repair it to international standards, it would cost at most a few hundred thousand, at most a million. If we can handle it ourselves, let's not trouble the government."

"Oh!" Zhou Rui nodded and said, "After all, it's your money, if you want to spend it, then spend it!"

"Let me emphasize again, the money isn't mine," Lin Chuan laughed, "This money belongs to everyone, it's not just for me, Lin Chuan."

"Well..." Zhou Rui squinted and laughed, "But you're the one calling the shots."

"On the big picture, yes." Lin Chuan laughed, "Actually, your power is a lot greater than mine."

"Oh, please." Zhou Rui snorted and said, "No matter how much authority I have, I'm just someone else's employee. Unlike you, you're the boss of the Sichuan University Group, the sole shareholder."

"Ha ha..." Lin Chuan laughed heartily.

"By the way," Zhou Rui leaned in and said, "How's your development in Japan, Lin Chuan?"

"Pretty good." Lin Chuan nodded.

"Recently, it seems Zhou Kai and the others have started setting up casinos in Japan," Zhou Rui said anxiously, "Is this... is this stable? Don't let anything happen."

"Don't worry," Lin Chuan laughed, "Foreign casinos are legal, as long as we don't break the law, it's okay. Wherever we go, we'll always follow local laws. Of course, we'll also make sure to understand some of the unspoken rules."

"That's good!" Zhou Rui nodded and said, "I really didn't expect that in just half a month abroad, over a hundred million has already been transferred into the Sichuan University Group's account. How did you do it?"

"We wiped out the Hundred Rivers Association and drove away the Triad," Lin Chuan laughed, "Once they left the country, Zhou Kai and the others seemed like fish returning to the sea. That's their world."

"Lin Chuan, it's like I can see the day when Jvyi Gang shines in this world," Zhou Rui couldn't help laughing and said, "You have to remember, I had a part in your success. You can't forget me."

"Of course not," Lin Chuan laughed, "You're a great contributor to the Sichuan University Group, I plan to give you ten percent of the shares when we go public."

"Wow!" Zhou Rui was taken aback when she heard this.

Given the current market valuation of Sichuan University Group, a conservative estimate would be at least a billion. Ten percent of the shares would be a hundred million. No wonder Zhou Rui was dumbfounded, speechless. To instantly have a hundred million, that's just...

"Xiao Rui, I know you've done a lot for the Sichuan University Group," Lin Chuan was actually quite moved internally. Zhou Rui hadn't taken a dime of salary from the Sichuan University Group since taking office, trying to save money for the group. Her million-dollar annual salary was basically just a slogan. All her expenses were from her overseas savings. To save money, she often ate at the company's canteen and rarely went out for social engagements.

"This is nothing," Zhou Rui smiled faintly and said, "Compared to the brothers fighting for the market overseas, even risking their lives, my hardships are nothing."

The Sichuan University Group's current liquidity, aside from pre-sale housing, had a very important source of funds from the wealth Lin Chuan and the others seized in Japan.

They entered the office.

Zhou Rui made a pot of tea for Lin Chuan.

Since returning to Jiangbei City, Lin Chuan had appeared quite leisurely. To those not in the know, it seemed like Lin Chuan was idle. In fact, Lin Chuan had been waiting for Tang Yumeng's return ever since she went to Beijing and hadn't come back since.

"When do you plan to go to Japan?" Zhou Rui asked.

"In a while," Lin Chuan laughed, "However, I might not go to Japan."

"Why?" Zhou Rui asked.

"The situation in Japan is too complicated," Lin Chuan sighed and said, "With legal Japanese gangs, the power dynamics are intricate, I don't want Zhou Kai and the others to get too deep. So as long as we can establish a foothold in Fukuoka, I don't plan to wade too deeply, after all, we're after wealth, not power."

Zhou Rui was momentarily stunned, but she quickly understood.

With legal gangs in Japan, many politicians are connected to gangs. To expand a gang in Japan, you have to work hard to establish good relations with the Japanese government. Otherwise, you'll never be able to compete with your opponents.
