"Hmm." Lin Chuan nodded, his eyes darting around.

"Lin Chuan, what's wrong?" Song Xiaojia frowned and said, "Do you have something on your mind?"

"Yes, a bit." Lin Chuan nodded.

"What's on your mind?" Song Xiaojia widened her eyes. How could this straightforward guy Lin Chuan keep things to himself? This made Song Xiaojia a bit curious.

"I was thinking, what should I do if you're pregnant?" Lin Chuan chuckled, "In that case, wouldn't I be becoming a dad?"

"You!" Song Xiaojia almost jumped up in anger.

"Don't be angry, what if it affects the baby?" Lin Chuan quickly consoled her.

"You bastard!" Song Xiaojia grabbed the folder in her hand and flung it at Lin Chuan. Lin Chuan quickly dodged the attack and said, "Xiao Jia, don't move around recklessly, in case..."

"In case your head, I'm not pregnant." Song Xiaojia said angrily, "Even if I were, I'd have an abortion."

"What?!" Lin Chuan was shocked, "That's too irresponsible, isn't it?"

At this moment, Zhang Wenhui pushed the door open and entered.

Bam...

The pen holder that Song Xiaojia casually flung hit Zhang Wenhui's forehead head-on.

"Ouch..." Zhang Wenhui immediately cried out in pain.

"Team Leader Zhang, are you... are you okay?" Song Xiaojia rushed over.

Zhang Wenhui rubbed his swollen forehead and said, "You two... what are you two doing here? Having a world war?"

"This guy infuriated me." Song Xiaojia glared at Lin Chuan angrily.

"I didn't say anything much, I just said..."

"Shut up!" Before Lin Chuan could finish, Song Xiaojia decisively interrupted him and shouted angrily, "Just go, continue having your people investigate. Don't get in the way of me and Team Leader Zhang discussing the case!"

"Alright, alright, I'm going, okay?" Lin Chuan said helplessly.

Women really don't acknowledge anything afterwards, huh? So charming and seductive in bed, all a lie. Now bursting out like a tigress. As if afraid others wouldn't know.

Leaving the police station, Lin Chuan hurried back to the transport market.

The transport market was bustling, the spring was warm with a pleasant climate. Very comfortable, with wildflowers swaying in the wind everywhere. The branches were already budding, some trees had even grown leaves, looking very beautiful.

After a short chill, the transport market quickly started booming again.

Transport trucks coming in and out took away large amounts of cement and sand, especially the building materials needed for the Changlin Community. Besides the Feixiang Transport Company continuously supporting behind the scenes, many transport fleets were hired from outside to help with the transport. As a result, the sand from the quarry was in high demand. You know, Changlin Community is a big project, with dozens of buildings and thousands of apartments, this is a big project indeed.

Lin Chuan was very satisfied with the current situation; seeing the hustle and bustle of these fleets, it seemed like he was seeing the company's smooth operation, and even more like he was seeing the future development prospects of the company.

"Lin Chuan!" At this moment, an Audi car sped over.

Lin Chuan turned his head and saw an Audi A5 stop in front of him, Zhou Rui stuck her head out and said, "Get in the car!"

"When did you buy a car?" Lin Chuan asked curiously.

"Why? Can't I?" Zhou Rui glanced at Lin Chuan and said, "Get in the car, I have something to discuss with you today."

"What's the matter?" Lin Chuan asked.

"The presale qualification for the houses has been approved." Zhou Rui showed a smile and said, "I feel relieved, I was still worrying about what to do because we are facing enormous financial pressure now. If we don't resolve the funding issue quickly, we will be suffocated by it sooner or later."

"Not enough funds?" Lin Chuan was taken aback and asked, "Haven't the five billion from President Song come through yet?"

"Don't mention it." Zhou Rui said dismissively, "That five billion is probably out of reach."

"Why?" Lin Chuan asked.

"Now the country has issued restrictive policies." Zhou Rui sighed and said, "The nation requires limiting housing prices, so the mortgage interest rates have risen, and the down payment ratio for the first home has also increased to fifty percent, while the second home has gone up to seventy percent."

"Aren't we in trouble then?" Lin Chuan was greatly shocked and said, "The country wants to control housing prices, and we are currently hyping up real estate."

"Don't worry." Zhou Rui laughed, "The more the country wants to control, but housing prices can definitely not be controlled. So, I am very confident about our community. Furthermore, our community is the largest in the Chengdong area and aims to develop into the most high-end one. I believe there are no issues."

"What price are you planning to set?" Lin Chuan asked.

"Let's talk about it on site." Zhou Rui chuckled.

"On site?" Lin Chuan looked a bit surprised.

"Yes, today is our first presale." Zhou Rui confidently looked at Lin Chuan and said, "Now, the presale hall is already packed with people, and potential buyers are queuing up, waiting for us to announce the prices."

Lin Chuan was slightly shocked inside, realizing that everything was under Zhou Rui's control. That made everything much easier. Lin Chuan felt very confident, and a mysterious smile appeared on his lips.

Zhou Rui drove towards the presale site.

Today is the first time Sichuan University Real Estate is hosting a house presale. After the advertisements in the early stages, at the presale site, a grand, ceremonious ribbon-cutting ceremony was being held, with prominent figures from Jiangbei City making appearances. Not only governmental officials but also big names in the business world were present. Sichuan University Group was really busy today.

Upon arriving at the site, Lin Chuan saw that a very impressive sales office had been erected at the east gate of Changlin Factory, with a huge stage at the entrance where performances were being held. The host, a big star invited from Hong Kong, attracted quite a crowd on site. Additionally, there were small gifts being handed out. Everyone gathered merrily to watch.

"How lively." Lin Chuan laughed.

"Isn't it?" Zhou Rui laughed, "This is the kind of sensational effect we want. It won't take long before everyone in Jiangbei City comes rushing here. With stars gathering on site, there's an even more heavyweight role making an entrance. Just wait."

After parking the car, a security guard promptly opened the door for Zhou Rui.

"Mr. Zhou." the security guard greeted respectfully.

"Hmm!" Zhou Rui replied with a distinguished aura.

The two of them slowly walked into the sales office. By now, there were already quite a few people at the site looking at the houses.

"You should tell me, how much per square meter is this house?" A man was getting anxious with sweat on his forehead, "I'm interested in this particular one now, I want to buy, I want to pay cash, I want to pay it in full!"

"Sir, I'm really sorry, I don't know the price either." A saleswoman at the sales office smiled apologetically and said, "The price hasn't been announced yet, and nobody knows exactly how much it will be. So, I can't give you an answer!"

"Oh my, how are you selling houses if you don't even know the price?" The man was fuming in frustration.

Scenes like this were happening not just in one place; some people were even getting into fights, afraid the property they had their eye on would be bought by someone else. These people were interested in the Changlin Community houses mainly because of the location, plus they had seen the environment at the construction site. The contractor spent a huge amount to preserve the green trees inside, which they were very satisfied with, having never seen any real estate developer willing to spend millions to retain those trees that were decades or even centuries old. This shows that the developer values environmental protection, meaning the environment there would undoubtedly be good.

"Mr. Zhou, what should we do?" The person in charge of the sales office urgently came over.

The person in charge of the sales office was a beautiful girl with a tall figure and good demeanor. All the girls selling houses here are beautiful, at least 1.6 meters in height, with pretty faces and good demeanor. Their eloquence goes without saying.

"How about this?" Zhou Rui glanced at her and said, "Inform all sales office staff, for any customer who is interested in a house, ask them to pay a deposit of ten thousand yuan. Once the price is announced, if they want it, the deal is closed immediately, if not, the deposit will be refunded. Is that alright?"

"Really?" The person in charge's eyes lit up hearing this. She had been besieged by people all day, just over the house issue; customers fearing their chosen property would be taken by someone else, hence their anxious demeanor.

"Yes!" Zhou Rui nodded.

"Great, I'll go inform them right away." The person in charge nodded quickly.

The entire sales office had more than thirty sales ladies, and the sales hall was over 500 square meters, bustling with over a hundred people looking at houses. To notify each sales lady immediately, the person in charge decisively used a broadcasting method. A broadcast system had been installed in the hall.

Soon, the broadcast came on, a sweet female voice said, "All Sichuan University Real Estate colleagues on-site, please pay attention, attention! Here's a notice..."

After learning the news, a group of people rapidly headed towards the financial office. The queue from the finance office stretched all the way to the front desk, a twenty-meter distance packed with thirty to forty people. These were all potential buyers. Whether they're investing or buying a residence, just the sight of this scene shows how hot the real estate is. The more the country tries to control housing prices, the harder it is to keep them down.

"This exaggerated?" Lin Chuan was stunned by the scene before him.

"Didn't expect it, did you?" Zhou Rui laughed.

"Really didn't!" Lin Chuan shook his head.

"Actually, I didn't expect it either." Zhou Rui's face was flushed with excitement and said, "Hopefully, we can recover two billion in funds this time."
