True Love Waits

The protesters were asking for fifty million dollars as compensation for every two-story house. When the manager of Trend Company who was in charge of the relocation project didn't compromise, they ganged up on him one day after work and beat him up.

Now, they had become these so-called "nail households"-families who didn't accept the compensation and refused to leave their home. The result was that, over time, they became more anxious and they started to cause more trouble than they did before when they saw that the other houses around them were already torn down.

Under everyone's expectant gaze, Evelyn spoke on the microphone. "The amount of monetary compensation for housing demolition is mainly determined by two factors. One is the assessment price of the legal house property, and the second is the compensation for house decoration according to the market price. We have hired professionals to assess the price of each house property of the West Village and calculate the compensation price for decoration. After the calculation process, we've estimated that the fair compensation for each household involved in this relocation project to be 1.2 million. However, in light of the problems, our company has agreed to increase that amount to 1.5 million. We are willing to help, but don't you think asking for 50 million dollars is being highly unreasonable?"

This produced such an uproar that the reporters stared at each other in awe. "Fifty million? That doesn't sound right?"

"How can they come here and make such unfair demands?"

"Yeah, they have gone too far this time! I support ZL Group and Trend Company!"

The reporters' discussions made the ten-odd troublemakers blush with shame.

One of them, however, wasn't convinced. "We've lived in West Village for decades. What we've asked you to compensate is not the market value of our houses, but our love for our homes! Fifty million is nothing to ZL Group. Why can't we ask for this amount as compensation?"

"Right! Do you think we don't know how much you sell each of those apartments for after the reconstruction? Tens of thousands of dollars per square meter, perhaps? Don't try to hide the fact that you will make a lot of money from this. If you ask me, you guys are the ones who are greedy and heartless!"

Once Evelyn realized that these people were making a fuss out of nothing, she stopped feeling afraid. "Who is greedy and who isn't, is a question I would like to leave for the lawyers of ZL Group. I'm sure they will be glad to provide you with the answers later. As for the assault on myself, I won't be so forgiving on the attackers. Please expect to hear from my personal lawyers about that too!" Then she turned to face the reporters and said, "I'm sorry to have taken up so much of your time. I hope you accept my sincerest apologies. This matter is now officially closed. Please focus your attention on the launching of the new product. Thank you!"

Evelyn walked down the stage and left gracefully.

Under the stage, some of the troublemakers who felt guilty wanted to leave, but they were stopped by the bodyguards, who asked them to wait for the legal team.

More reporters started to come to Trend Company after hearing the news, but they didn't have an invitation, so they could only wait at the entrance. Some nosy residents of the West Village also came and waited outside the company to watch the drama. Thus, the company gates were swarming with people.
