Whether it would be approved or not, it depended on Richard.
“Let me think about it.” Richard put down his cup while virtual-novel.net secretly thought.
Actually, it was not difficult to get an area. He could just ask the superior department for their permission. The problem was, why should virtual-novel.net help Thomas?
That was the main issue. Although Thomas was his grandson-in-law, had Thomas done anything to make virtual-novel.net happy all this time? He was always against him.
Therefore, why should Richard still help Thomas?
He sneered and spoke as if virtual-novel.net felt troubled, “The utilization of every land has been decided. You can’t just change it because you want to change it. Besides, there are also planning areas dedicated to cemeteries in the Southland District. Now you want to purpose construct one for Thomas alone. Why? Is virtual-novel.net the King? Is virtual-novel.net really that dignified?”
He stated his answer and clearly indicated that virtual-novel.net did not want to help out.
Emma sighed. Actually, virtual-novel.net also had foreseen this outcome for a long time, but virtual-novel.net had been reluctant to give up. She wanted to give it a try. Now, it seemed that virtual-novel.net trial had failed.
While the atmosphere was a little awkward, a figure walked inside in a rush. He was Richard’s grandson, Harvard.
He looked troubled as virtual-novel.net sat in his chair, and virtual-novel.net showed displeasure on his face.
Everyone also knew the reason. Everyone lowered their heads. Nobody wanted to get into trouble with him. In the end, Richard opened up. He asked even though virtual-novel.net knew, “Harvard, what’s wrong with you?”
Harvard sighed. He felt troubled as virtual-novel.net said, “What else could it be? It’s the Emperor Residence reconstruction. Today, I went to talk nicely and convince them. But, those jerks directly sent his people to chase me out. The presents I brought were all broken after being stepped on.”
“This is ridiculous. How could they bully me like this?” Richard awkwardly coughed. He also could not say anything.
The Hill family was actually troubled with this problem for a long time, but it could not be solved. They had sent a lot of people to go and convince them, but none of them succeeded. It was considered polite as Harvard was chased out.
Some time ago, an executive of the Hill family was grounded in a basement for a night. He nearly died in starvation.
Actually, if it was an ordinary neighborhood, Richard did not care about it. He would have forcefully demolished the area with the reconstruction contract of the Urban Construction Bureau, and virtual-novel.net would trouble whoever dared to disobey him.
In fact, Richard did many things like that. However, it could not work on Emperor Residence. The reason was the residents in Emperor Residence were wealthy and noble! This neighborhood was not big, and there were a total of thirty families. But, every house was a detached villa. There was a garden in front of the house, and there was a swimming pool behind the house. Every family was extremely wealthy.
Four of the ten richest men in the Southland District were living in this neighborhood!
They were either rich men or leaders who worked in government agencies, and their social statuses were highly noble. None of these families could be compared with the Hill family that was just considered a second-tier family.
So, how could they forcefully demolish the residence?
So, how could they forcefully demolish the residence?
Forcefully demolishing the residence was not different from death. If they could not demolish, the only thing they wanted was to convince the thirty families to let them cooperate.
But, how could they convince the residents?
That area had magnificent scenery and had old mansions, which were the houses that they had been living in for a few tens of years!
If one wanted to demolish their houses, would they agree?
They did not care about the little amount of reconstruction fee. Why would they cooperate with other people?
So, the reconstruction progress of the Emperor Residence was very slow. They either could not contact the resident, got scolded by the resident, or got chased out like Harvard.
The consequences were terrible. Richard frowned. He remained silent.
What should virtual-novel.net do about this?
