Rebirth of the Best Businesswoman at School

Chapter 552: The City Planning Bureau Enters South City

Jian Ai slowly opened her eyes. There was a faint starlight in them, and there was a thin layer of sweat on her nose.

Then she raised her hand slightly, and the water in the cup on the table rose with it. It swept up in the air and formed a long and thin water pillar.

This differed from the basic control Jian Ai had previously grasped because she could only control solids but not liquids.

At the same time, she also realized that controlling liquids consumed much more genuine energy than controlling solid objects. By then, she felt she had reached her limit just by controlling a glass of water.

What made Jian Ai embarrassed was that she didn’t know how to get the water back into the glass!

After over ten seconds, she had exhausted the genuine energy in her body. Jian Ai relaxed, and the water pillar floating in the air fell and wet the table.

She shook her head secretly. Although there was obvious progress compared to before, it was still far from enough for Jian Ai.

However, Si Yue had once told her she should not be anxious for results in her cultivation techniques. Even if she was anxious, it was useless. She had to take it slowly, step by step.

…

Three days later, the South City demolition plan was put on the agenda. Many staff from the City Planning Bureau and professionals from the developers entered the South City District early in the morning and measured the area before the demolition.

The Jian Group, the leader of Baiyun City’s real estate industry, was in charge of the South City demolition project. Therefore, not only did the leader of the City Planning Bureau come to the South City District today, but many of the Jian Group’s senior management also went along.

Jian Ai applied for leave from the martial arts school that day and had rushed home early in the morning.

Wang Yunmei had already moved back the day after resolving the demolition issue with the Wang family.

As soon as she entered South City, the word ‘demolition’ could be seen everywhere. Jian Ai watched as she entered her house.

In the living room, Wang Yunzhi’s family and Uncle Wu were also present. They had moved out of South City recently, but they specially rushed back because the City Planning Bureau was going to measure the land today.

Jian Ai greeted everyone politely and sat down on the sofa.

A few adults were talking about the demolition when Wang Yunzhi asked, “There are so many courtyards. Will it take a while for them to finish measuring?”

South City was enormous. Although the target area for the demolition and reconstruction plan was the entire South City District, it was impossible to demolish it all at once. The first batch to be included in the demolition range was only in the area near the edge of the city.

Coincidentally, their families were all included.

However, they knew little about real estate, so they couldn’t answer Wang Yunzhi’s question.

Jian Ai explained, “If the other party has more people, they can measure the area quickly.”

“Especially in South City, where the courtyards of every family are connected square by square. There are no residential buildings, so as long as we measure the length and width of the courtyards, we can directly multiply them to get the actual area of the land.”

Many people thought that the demolition was very complicated, but it was not. The complicated ones were mostly the houses that were unwilling to move away.

At this moment, the surveyor of the City Planning Bureau was facing a house owner who refused to accept demolition.

In a clean yard, there was a faint commotion. Many neighbors were around the yard, watching the commotion.

“I won’t demolish my house.. If you dare to touch a fence in my house, you’ll have to crush it over my body!”
