The final location was chosen to be neither remote nor outside of bustling city streets. It was situated in a triangular area, and most importantly, it wouldn't require too many people to relocate.
Because this place is a dead lake.
The western part of Hunan is mostly inhabited by wealthy families, while the eastern part is inhabited by ordinary families. The people living in the east are not particularly poor; most of them have some family wealth and are educated, but they are not considered very rich.
Not far from the lake, on the other side, lived some poor families. There weren't many, but there were some. These people weren't ordinary either; even though they weren't wealthy, they didn't think about leaving. They were all scholars.
For some reason, no one was managing the lake, and it wasn't very clean. So Zhu Tao thought of filling the lake in, since there was enough space, to build a bookstore.

Therefore, Zhu Tao said very firmly, "The location is definitely not a problem."
Yun Qingbian said, "This is not difficult to handle. Since some people think it is unlucky, then let's make it lucky. There's a saying that goes, 'Man proposes, God disposes.'"
