Show me your extreme measures.

  "What's given is what's given." Upon hearing this, Cai Daqiang was taken aback.

  "Yes." Chen Chen looked at the other party with a playful expression: "The country's current relocation policy has always taken care of relocated households, and strictly prohibits forced demolition. I'm outside, these are very clear, Director Cai."

  "Yes, Director Cai, there are some things I didn't want to say explicitly." Chen Xi also chimed in, "The compensation you announced is indeed a bit harsh, this isn't giving those households with difficulties a way out."

  "Are you saying that the government owes you something?" The words were straightforward, and Cai Daqiang's face turned extremely ugly. He immediately pulled down: "This is in response to the national economic development strategy. It's not a matter of money now, but you're refusing to cooperate with the demolition and relocation, and you're trying to extort us by joining forces!"

  "Director Cai, don't be so quick to judge others. In today's information age, who are you trying to fool? Chen Chen sneered and looked at the other person with disdain: "The people living in the family quarters are all old comrades from that era, they are simple and honest, how could they extort money? They just want fair and reasonable compensation. If your compensation is reasonable, why wouldn't they cooperate?"

  "You mean I'm not being compensated reasonably?" Cai Daqiang jumped up like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, pointing at the two of them with an evil glare: "Do you want to confront the government?"

  "Director Cai, I also studied abroad for a few years and some things are very clear to me." Chen Chen showed no fear, looking at the other party with a cold eye: "The demolition compensation should be how much, I can calculate it too, do you want me to tell you?"

  "I'm the director, don't I know? Do you need to calculate it?" Upon hearing this, Cai Daqiang's eyes flashed with a hint of panic, and he immediately changed the subject: "I'll tell you, I came here today to deliver the final ultimatum to each household. If you don't cooperate with my work, I can only take extreme measures."

  "Alright!" Chen Chen casually spread out his hands, looking at the other party with a skeptical glance: "Otherwise, I'll go call the reporters over and let them witness Director Cai's extreme measures. How about that?"

  "How dare you!" Cai shouted loudly and sternly, causing He Miao to also come out of the kitchen.

  "Hmph!" Seemingly aware that he was somewhat in the wrong, Cai Daqiang quickly composed himself and restrained his temper: "Anyway, I've already said what I needed to say. If you don't cooperate with my work, there's nothing I can do about it."

  As he spoke, he walked forward on his own and opened the door, ready to leave.

  "Don't come back!" Chen Chen hummed: "Hope you don't come again in the future."

  Cai Daqiang heard this, his body trembled again, the muscles on his face were all tense together, but soon thought of something, a hint of sinister smile floated at the corner of his mouth, then he left without looking back.

  "Hmph, with a deadbeat like that pretending to be a hunter." Chen Chen sneered and coldly laughed, then walked forward to close the door and sat back down on the sofa: "Dad, tell me what's going on. This Cai Daqiang isn't some kind of thug, how did he become the director of the demolition office?"

  "You haven't been back for a year, and some things are unknown, which is normal." Chen Xi sighed softly and began to tell the story: "This Cai Daqiang is indeed a rascal, but he's lucky. He has a beautiful sister, and by chance, the county magistrate met her and was enchanted. They ended up living together, and later he divorced his original wife and married that fox spirit. This little guy changed from a rascal to the county magistrate's brother-in-law overnight."

  "This is what they mean by 'one man gets the Tao and his chickens and dogs ascend to heaven.' Chen Chen understood, following Chen Xue's train of thought: "Sister got the Tao, naturally wants to blow some wind in the county magistrate's ear, let her own brother also ascend to heaven, coincidentally encountered this demolition, thinking he has some connections here, so let him be the director of the demolition office, come to do some work for each family."

  "It's not just that." Chen Xi casually picked up a notice and handed it to Chen Chen: "You're also someone who has seen the world outside, take a look at his compensation plan."

  Chen Chen looked at the announcement and suddenly flashed anger in his eyes: "This is really going to be a deduction, just compensating for so little money, isn't it not letting others live?"

  "How can he be corrupt if he doesn't take kickbacks? The more kickbacks he takes, the more he gets. It's normal for someone like him who loves money to do something like this." Chen Xi coldly smiled and shook his head: "Actually, our family isn't that struggling, my mom and I don't care about it, but Liu Lao and a few other families in need have come to me several times to talk about this issue. We've lived together in the same compound for so many years, at a time like this we should be united and help them get more."

  "Now I completely understand." Chen Chen gently patted his father's shoulder: "Dad, you did the right thing, I support you!"

  "But look at Cai Daqiang's ferocious appearance." At this time, He Miao, who had been silent all along, spoke with a worried tone: "This kind of person can do anything, I'm just afraid..."

  "Mom, don't be afraid, I'm here." Chen Chen interrupted his mother with a carefree attitude and replied confidently: "Since I've come back, I'll help you guys figure this out. In a society ruled by law, how can these scoundrels act so recklessly?"

  "Who? What can you do?" He Miao glanced at Chen Chen, her eyes full of worry: "You'd better not interfere randomly, with so many neighbors uniting together, he shouldn't dare to act recklessly either."

  "Alright, alright, let's not talk about this for now. You should go cook instead, I'm starving." Chen Chen smiled and comforted his mother, then shifted the unpleasant topic: "Dad, hand me the newspaper."

  "What are you looking at?" Chen Xi was slightly stunned, and handed a stack of newspapers to Chen Chen: "I don't remember you having the habit of reading newspapers, aren't you used to browsing news online?"

  "I don't read the news." Chen Chen took over the newspaper and flipped through it, throwing away any news articles, only stopping to look at real estate ads: "I just take a look at the ads to see if there are any good apartments for sale."

  "An apartment building?" Chen Xi was stunned again: "You want to buy a house?"

  "Buy a house?" Hearing this, He Miao rushed out of the kitchen again, still holding a gleaming knife: "Xiao Chen, you want to buy a house?"

  "Put the knife down first, it's scary to look at!" Chen Chen couldn't help but roll his eyes and casually explained: "Anyway, we're going to be relocated, buying a house is an inevitable thing, and I just made some money, so I might as well buy one early. You've worked hard for a lifetime, and you should improve your living conditions."

  "It's not easy for you to make money on your own, don't waste it when you have some." Upon hearing this, He Miao quickly dissuaded: "Buying a house is not urgent either, wait until the demolition compensation comes down, I'll use that money with your dad to buy one, won't spend your money."

  "Hey, am I your son now? You're calculating with me like this?" Chen Chen put on a dissatisfied look: "What's the meaning of not spending my money? A son taking some money to spend for his parents is only right!"
