Leo lit a cigarette and looked at me. Seeing his indifference, I leaned over and told him about the upcoming land acquisition in the village.
After hearing it, he couldn't stop patting his chest and gasping, exclaiming, "That was close!"
According to my memories from the last life, the village would undergo a land acquisition in three months.
The village was next to a rare redwood forest. Developers and the relevant authorities had already planned to turn this area into an eco-friendly resort.
To prevent leaks and villagers from rushing to build, they planned a surprise land acquisition, securing the village with the lowest budget and shortest time possible.
These few acres of barren land that Leo had were quickly targeted by insiders in the last life. He thought it was better to cash out the unused land and get back to his old business, so he hastily sold it to an outsider for just a few hundred thousand dollars.
He said, "That was close" because someone had indeed come yesterday to offer a price for his land, and he was considering selling it.
Since I had worked in the city before, he thought I got the insider information through my connections.
