The old house had three main houses, and a row of four sheds were built behind as livestock circles, toilets, firewood sheds and kitchens, and a blue brick courtyard wall was built outside.

The blue brick courtyard wall was not demolished and rebuilt, but a rain-hide parking shed was built outside the south wall of Linhetang. The colored steel tiles were naturally bad, but were erected with tempered glass and stainless steel beams and columns, which looked simple and modern.

When you push the door open, it is no longer an empty farmhouse yard, but a private garden with pebbles, terrazzo, anti-corrosion wood paving, and dense shade. There is a grape vine shelf built with pine wood on the left. Under the shelf is a small path made of anti-corrosion wood. When you go inside, you will find a glass sunroom built in front of the west floor. There is a shallow pool built on the corner of the wall on the inner side, and there are two pots of aquatic plants that cannot be called famous under the water surface.

The door of the main hall has been completely changed, and it has been changed to an antique wooden lattice glass door.

There was no light on in the house. The soft light of the courtyard light shone in through the wooden lattice glass and fell on the ground of the terrazzo in the main hall, which was divided into pieces of light and shadow.

When building a house in rural areas, you always aim to be big and high, but it does not need to be like this in actual life.

The three main houses were converted into living rooms, the east and west houses were converted into ensuites with bathrooms. Because the houses before were too high, the main beam was three meters, four or five meters high, and it seemed too empty to live inside. Therefore, a layer of purlin beams was added under the purlin beams, which also maintained the traditional Chinese architectural tradition, but the style was more delicate and stylish.

The back shed is closed as a equipment room, one as a storage room for miscellaneous items, one as a kitchen and a dining room, and one is renovated. Between the guest bedroom and the main house, another is set up as a study or entertainment room.

Chen Huai walked around and thought to himself that he would finish the work carefully, and it would take a few months to finish it. He couldn't help but ask worriedly: "Is 400,000 enough for you to toss?"

"It's okay. Some things have to be placed with overseas manufacturers, and I'm afraid they will take three or four months to send them to China. I don't have much patience and can only make up for domestic things, so I saved a lot; another one hundred thousand is enough, right?" Sun Yalin asked Zhu Li uncertainly.

"If there is no major change, it's almost enough." Zhu Li echoed.

He has a wide range of knowledge and Donghua is not rich, but there are no rich people with a net worth of tens of millions. He has several families who spend more than one million to build private houses. Speaking of which, these families are rich, but they always have a nouveau riche face. In terms of style, they are not as good as this house.

It is said that "it was only a family that had been established for three generations." Zhu Li still didn't know what kind of family background of Sun Yalin and Chen Huai was, but from their strict requirements for renovating this house, Zhu Li could also know the level of the family or family behind Chen Huai and Sun Yalin.

Sun Yalin is so harsh and picky about the renovation of the old house. If it were someone else, he might have lost his patience. Zhu Li has a good temper and is very patient. With a designer and a construction manager, he can't continue to do it here, so he changes someone else. Sun Yalin finds him personally and he also throws other things away first.

Chen Huai spread his hands and expressed his silence.

Nowadays, a small building in the countryside is enough, 70,000 or 80,000 is enough. Sun Yalin invested nearly ten times the amount of money in the old house for renovation. In the eyes of ordinary people, it is naturally extremely luxurious, but compared to the Sun family's life overseas, this is nothing.

However, in this way, Chen Huai felt that he could not move in at all, otherwise he would not know how many people would point at the back and scold him if he heard it.

Chen Huai suspected that Sun Yalin's intention was this: she wanted to occupy the old house by herself.

Chen Huai did not intend to expose Sun Yalin's ambitions. He asked her to do a lot these days and had to let her take advantage of it. However, thinking about such a beautiful house, he couldn't move in, which was a pity.

Sun Yalin looked at her watch. It was dark just now. She didn't understand why Chen Huai came over to join in the fun at this time and asked, "Why are you here?"

"Just just came back from the district and there was no place to go, so come and have a look." Chen Huai said.

Sun Yalin knew that Chen Huai didn't like to go to the district, and He Qingshe also asked some meetings to attend. He usually had to deal with the district on some important matters and asked: "Is it a matter of equity restructuring or administrative area adjustment?"

"Pan Shihua asked me to talk about the reform." Apart from Zhu Li, there was no one else, and Chen Huai said directly.

"How is it? Have you agreed?" Sun Yalin also cared about this matter the most during this period.

Although the Sun family and Changqing Group behind her have great influence, as the fourth generation of the Sun family, her voice in the family is actually very limited. She will invest one million US dollars in Meixi Steel Factory in the form of foreign investment, which is also a major breakthrough in her personal career, and she has no choice but to worry about it.

"The negotiation has not been completed yet, but the city has clearly delegated the decision to the district," Chen Huai didn't mind letting Zhu Li know some news, but he would not let him know the details of the negotiations with Pan Shihua and Zhou Yu. He just said to Sun Yalin in a big way, "In this way, we can have some initiative..."

Zhu Li knew about some equity reform and some things he could not know too much. He took the excuse to talk to the construction manager about some details of the renovation and walked away.

"If the Song family and Sun family also learned about your methods, I wonder if those arrogant guys will continue to regard you as unworthy children?" Sun Yalin stared at Chen Huai's face and sighed, "Your methods will also be used on the Song family and Sun family, right?"

"..." Chen Huai squatted down, looked at the aquatic plants in the shallow pond, which looked like a reduced version of lotus leaves. Without answering Sun Yalin's question, he asked, "What is this called?"

"Called Alisma, it won't bloom until June. The thin white flowers are very beautiful," Sun Yalin put on a look of "It turns out there are things you don't know", but she didn't want to let Chen Huai go, and continued to ask: "Is this worth it for you?"

Sun Yalin knew that Chen Huai did not hesitate to turn against Xiong Wenbin, just to delegate the decision-making power of equity reform to the district.

The equity restructuring of Meixi Iron and Steel Plant requires approval from the Municipal Planning Commission in terms of procedural terms.

In addition to Chen Huai's disengagement with Chen Huai, in addition to Chen Huai's concealment of some things from him, he also mainly worried that Chen Huai would bring him unpredictable political risks. Chen Huai was worried that Tan Qiping would take the initiative to ask him to give up his equity reform for this consideration.

Chen Huai did not hesitate to make a fuss with Xiong Wenbin, in fact, to avoid having a dispute with Tan Qiping directly on this matter. Even if Tan Qiping takes care of him as a child of the Song family, if he says something, he will definitely maintain his authority as the secretary of the municipal party committee. If so, Chen Huai and Tan Qiping will have no room for maneuver, and Chen Huai has no possibility of directly fighting against Tan Qiping's authority in Donghua at this time.

Chen Huai and Xiong Wenbin had a showdown, and in front of Zhou Yu, Zhou Zhibai and Xiong Wenbin, the plan to build a 500,000 tons of production capacity in three years was to avoid giving Tan Qiping the opportunity to speak.

Now Tan Qiping remains silent on the equity restructuring of Meixi Iron and Steel Plant, and Gao Tianhe maintains a compromise attitude and delegates the decision to the reform to the district. It can be said that Chen Huai's purpose has been achieved.

The decision-making power in the district is nothing more than transactions, bribery or threats. Shen Huai can take the initiative as much as possible.

Of course, this incident also brought some serious consequences. Chen Huai took the initiative to isolated him from Tan Qiping's circle. Not only did Su Kaiwen openly make a fuss, there was no possibility of repairing the cracks with Xiong Wenbin. Moreover, Chen Huai deliberately misled Tan Qiping that the restructuring of Meixi Iron and Steel Plant was supported by the Sun Family and Changqing Group, and the paper could not be kept in the fire. Even if Tan Qiping knew the truth in the future, he would not support him any more.

When Chen Huai chose one path, he aggressively blocked the other path. Even if Sun Yalin, who was also arrogant, was not the best choice.

"...What is worth it, what is not worth it?" Chen Huai smiled and asked ambiguously, "I am just the secretary of the small town party committee. Even if I want to compromise, who will I compromise with? In this world where the strong prey on the weak, if a small person wants to trample on or swallow it, he can only sing his teeth and claws."

"So it's like this that villain can explain the success of his life?" Sun Yalin couldn't help but argue with Chen Huai. She looked at Chen Huai for two or three seconds. She had to admit that she supported Chen Huai from the bottom of her heart and asked, "How is the conversation in that district?"

"Pan Shihua wants four million yuan in dry shares."

Sun Yalin just whistled at Pan Shihua's lion.

"Don't act like a female hooligan, stand with you and get angry." Chen Huai looked at Sun Yalin with disdain.

"Did you scold me on the spot?" Sun Yalin didn't retort unexpectedly.

"Can I be as naive as you?" Chen Huai said, "The Zhou family still has a cooperative attitude, but I don't know how much impact the Zhou family has on Yang Yuquan, so I can only delay Pan Shihua's side..."

"Pan Shihua can isolate you, but you will not turn against you in public. Even if you don't support it, you will not publicly oppose the reform - are you afraid of him?" Sun Yalin couldn't help but want to encourage Chen Huai to be tougher against Pan Shihua.
