"After the first incident, the matter was dropped. But when she saw that we were willing to compromise and that there was a chance to change things, she caused a scene when we went back the second time, and it involved a house."
"After she asked for a house, we didn't dare agree, fearing she would tell the neighbors who had already moved away. Sure enough, none of us agreed, and the neighbors all found out. Wasn't that what happened the other day with the large-scale gathering?"
They had indeed heard about this, after all, it was such a big incident in the local area, and it had been on the news for several days.
“We called the police at the time, and thankfully the matter was resolved. But we are worried that if this apartment is given away, she might say something else…”
If they've already sold off this area, then it's none of their business, and that's fine. But what if Boyuan hasn't taken it over yet—
Everyone has to take responsibility when something goes wrong.
"She's in her forties, and her child is probably a teenager. If this gets out of hand at her child's school, who knows who will be embarrassed? Wouldn't her child then try to persuade her mother?"
Director Ling gasped. The people from Boyuan were too ruthless in their methods. How could they have involved someone's child?
Sure enough, Wang Ying was criticized by Lin Wei the next moment.
"It's not you... who taught you to do things this way? You even caused trouble for someone else's child. If you were in that situation, wouldn't you be worried that someone would cause trouble for your child?"
Wang Ying said matter-of-factly, "I wouldn't do something so shameless, and I wouldn't worry about my child getting into trouble because of this."
But Wang Ying understood what Lin Wei meant: "I was just saying, what if we try all the methods you suggested?"
Lin Wei glanced at Director Ling and decided not to take on this hot potato.
"Let's wait and see who can wait longer."
After saying that, Lin Wei left with Wang Ying.
On the way back, Wang Ying asked, "Weren't you going there to ask for a solution? Why did you leave?"
“If I don’t leave, am I just going to fall into a pit? Director Ling is obviously trying to pass this hot potato to me. If I take on this, I should pay for the extra apartment. It’s a small matter, it’s just an apartment after all.”
"If Director Ling wants the other party to leave, then the demolition office on Director Ling's side should pay for the house. Who pays for the house is not the point, but the final meaning is completely different. In short, I can help, but I will not be a sucker. With Director Ling's look, it's hard to deny it."
"What can we do if Director Ke Ling is just waiting? We have to start work eventually, even if we don't start now, we have to start later."
Lin Wei chuckled, "Then let's start. We'll avoid this building and start construction everywhere else, leaving this one building standing. She doesn't want to move, does she? Then let her stay there forever."
Wang Ying's eyes widened. At first, she didn't quite understand, but then she realized what was going on.
“No, this… can it really be like this? If she absolutely refuses to move, then this building will remain standing here, but it will affect the appearance of this area,” Wang Ying said.
"So what if it causes an impact? It's not that I don't want it to cause an impact, it's that the other person absolutely refuses to move." Lin Wei said, "Let's measure the land and plan this area separately. If this person moves away later, we can turn this area into a small park, or build a farmers' market. How can such a large community not have a place to buy groceries?"
“If she doesn’t move, I’ll leave it standing there alone. I’m capable of doing that. There’s always a new way to deal with holdouts like this. We also need to let them know that they can’t have everything they want.”
-
One week later.
Director Ling found them and told them that things weren't going well, and wanted them to work with her to solve the problem.
Lin Wei refused.
One month later.
Director Ling came to them again, asking them to handle the matter together, but Lin Wei still refused.
With the start date fast approaching, the problems at the demolition office remained unresolved, causing Director Ling to become increasingly anxious and frustrated.
“President Lin, this… our matter hasn’t been resolved yet, why are you starting construction here? I know this project has a long construction period, but who knows when this matter will be resolved? If it can’t be resolved…”
"If we can't solve it, we'll just leave it like this." Lin Wei took out the blueprints. "Director Ling, do you have any suggestions? Should we build a small park or a vegetable market on this vacant area?"
The original drawings were definitely not designed this way, but the drawing software had already been released.
Editing photos online is easy, and within a few days, I redrawn the picture according to her idea.
Director Ling stared at her in shock for several moments. "This... this is acceptable?"
“Whether it works or not, the project has to start. There are tasks from above. I’ll do my job, and she’ll continue to be serious about it. We won’t interfere with each other. If she’s smart enough to take the money and leave, she can leave the property. If she doesn’t leave, then this old building will just sit there. But if she still doesn’t leave after the project is completed, then how much money she gets will not be up to her.”
"However, if we fail to complete the mission, we may have to trouble Director Ling to stay in this area with us."
Director Ling really didn't care. "What's the big deal? It's all for work."
But at that time, she was truly impressed by Boyuan. Such thoughts and such courage were rare in this era.
-
When the demolition began around the building where the middle-aged woman lived, she immediately started making a scene.
"What are you doing? The people haven't even moved yet, why are you tearing things down?"
The demolition workers took it for granted, saying, "We're demolishing other buildings, not yours, so it's none of your business."
The middle-aged woman choked, "Let me tell you, I didn't agree to the demolition, I didn't move out, you can't demolish this place, where is Director Ling?"
"Here it is." With a solution in hand, Director Ling became more confident. "Ms. Wang, that's all the terms we've offered. This is already a much higher price than others. If you agree, we can sign anytime. If you don't want to sign, that's fine too. You can live in this building, and we can't do anything to you. But you can't interfere with the workers' work. Otherwise, we have the right to arrest you and detain you for a few days. Whether this building will still be there when you come out is another matter."
With the threat in hand, the enraged Ms. Wang indeed stopped her tantrum.
"You are threatening me. I'm calling the police."
Ms. Wang reported it immediately, and the police arrived shortly afterward.
But the police are well aware of the numerous troubles they've caused in this area.
Furthermore, they are doing their own work, and they haven't affected the building she lives in, so she has no right to interfere.
“If you don’t move out, people can’t work. You can’t make people work if they’ve already moved out. They’ve already promised not to touch your building. But if you leave, no one will be able to stop the building. Any subsequent protests will be completely futile.”
