However, he had already given up hope and remained unmoved. Lin An looked down at the three people at his feet and said coldly, "Not enough!"
The three looked at each other, wondering what wasn't enough. Weren't their apologies sincere enough?
At this moment, Xu Mo stepped forward and said, "President Lin, the ten heavy excavators I mobilized have arrived."
Lin An looked at the villa in front of him and shouted, "Everyone evacuate! In ten minutes, raze this place to the ground!"
Some painful memories can't be forgotten, so he'll destroy them. He's going to rebuild his home on the land his grandfather bought.
After saying that, he turned and walked out of the villa's courtyard gate.
Upon hearing this, Lin Haoran went berserk and roared at Lin An's retreating figure:
"What are you trying to do? This is my life's work, my home. You're not letting me live here, and now you're going to destroy it? Are you crazy? I'm going to report you to the Housing and Construction Bureau."
The lawyer smiled slightly: "Mr. Lin, this villa doesn't belong to you. You're not even a neighbor. What right do you have to report it?"
"Moreover, residents have the right to repair their own houses within the height and building restrictions."
Lin Haoran's eyes were bloodshot as he roared, "Didn't you hear what he said? What repair? He said he wanted to demolish my house."
The lawyer, still with that same smiling expression, instructed the foreman, "When you're leveling it, remember to leave one pillar standing."
As long as one pillar remains, the project will be repaired on its original site.
After saying that, the lawyer and Xu Mo left the villa with their respective groups.
Lin Haoran collapsed to the ground, staring at the villa where he had lived for many years, and wept bitterly. Even if Lin Zhe became successful in the future, he would never be able to redeem it.
At this point, Lin Rou was too lazy to pretend anymore. She had known since she was a child that the Lin family was not her home. If it was gone, it was gone. She would get married sooner or later.
She stood up, ignored her parents, and walked to the street to hail a taxi.
Zhang Wanru was still in a daze. She had sincerely admitted her mistake, so why wouldn't Lin An forgive her? Was being stupid a mistake?
By this time, excavators had already surrounded the Lin family villa.
Several workers roughly stepped forward, grabbed Zhang Wanru and Lin Haoran, and threw them out, cursing, "Are you looking for death? Don't you know that safety comes first?"
The couple collapsed on the side of the street.
Excavators roared in, tearing the Lin family villa apart from all sides, ripping it up and leveling it, leaving only ruins.
Lin Haoran was filled with utter despair.
Those specially customized floor tiles and carved pillars were his hard work; watching them be destroyed was like torture to him.
Standing a meter away from him, Lin An adopted an appreciative posture. As the house collapsed with a crash, those dark days seemed to vanish into thin air.
That's all in the past. Now he's strong, and no one can bully him anymore.
Lin Haoran stared with bloodshot eyes, secretly vowing that he would make Lin An repay the humiliation he had suffered a thousandfold.
Lin An sensed an unfriendly gaze beside him, turned his head, and met Lin Haoran's bloodshot eyes, which frightened Lin Haoran so much that he quickly lowered his head.
Lin An smiled, a rare occurrence for him. He took a couple of steps, squatted down, and patted Lin Haoran on the shoulder.
"Don't rush, this is just the beginning."
Lin Haoran's heart tightened suddenly. What do you mean "just the beginning"? His company is gone, his house is gone, he's already bankrupt. Isn't that enough?
After finishing his sentence, Lin An glanced at the ruins in front of him again, then got into the Rolls-Royce with satisfaction.
Xu Mo got into the car with him; he had some things to discuss with Lin An.
Xu Mo didn't quite understand his behavior and said:
"Why do you have to tear down the Lin family's house? Just to vent your anger?"
Lin An laughed and said, "To increase GDP."
Xu Mo smiled. This demolition and construction did indeed increase GDP significantly. Maybe that's just how men are; they always have some inexplicable dreams.
Actually, Lin An just wanted to live a more carefree life, just to vent his frustrations. Why does everyone want financial freedom? Because when people are wealthy enough, they can be free. They don't need to consider cost-effectiveness or return on investment; they can do whatever they want and be happy.
He was quite pleased to see Lin Haoran looking so heartbroken and desperate.
Xu Mo stopped laughing: "We've acquired Lin's company's premises and all its employees. What are your plans? Will you continue to expand your live-streaming business?"
"No, let's start a new business and make new energy vehicles."
Xu Mo was taken aback: "The car business is no ordinary business. The investment must be huge, right? I estimate that we'll burn through a lot of money in the early stages. I'm afraid we'll have to throw all the money we earn from the live streaming into it."
Lin An thought Xu Mo was too honest; who only uses their own money in business? He said:
"Don't worry about money. Just do your job properly with the live-streaming e-commerce. As for the new energy vehicles, I'll go out and raise funds."
Xu Mo had never done such a big business before, and asked worriedly, "Can it be done?"
Lin An was optimistic. After all, his godmother was Tong Jiaojiao, and with the Tong family behind him, he wasn't afraid of not being able to attract investment in the market. Maybe the Tong family would take a liking to him and invest money directly.
He patted Xu Mo on the shoulder: "Don't worry, leave the money to me."
"However, this business is currently relatively untapped in the market, and it is quite difficult to develop. It cannot be accomplished overnight, and we may not see results for some time. We must be prepared for a long-term struggle."
Xu Mo nodded: "Okay, I'll organize some people to conduct some market research first."
"Oh, right, there's one more thing. When you had your exam this afternoon, Miss Zhou Ya asked me if you had any plans after the exam. It seems she prepared something for you. If you have time, you can contact her."
"I'm busy, I have to attend the senior year graduation party."
A hint of disdain flashed across Xu Mo's face. Could this be more important than seeing Miss Zhou? He asked, "Is it fun playing with those kids?"
"There's no other way. For the sake of the company's business development, I have to make do. Tonight, I'm going to win over the school beauty and get her to sign with our company as a live streamer."
"A school beauty?" Xu Mo thought for a moment. There really wasn't a livestreaming company with that kind of persona, so it was worth a try.
