"Thank you!" Mei Ru Xue expressed her sincere gratitude.
Xu Chunliang said, "No need to thank me; anyone else would have done the same."
Mei Ru Xue glanced at the ruins and said, "Secretary Kong wants to initiate a town-wide illegal construction cleanup because of this incident, and your hospital is likely to be a key target."
Xu Chunliang, having reclaimed more than half of the overdue rent, didn't mind if they demolished the place. However, he was still grateful for Mei Ru Xue's reminder.
The explosion at Yu Shuqing Restaurant caused a dramatic shift in many people's perspectives. Kong Xiangsheng, who used to turn a blind eye to illegal constructions, became an ardent advocate for their removal.
Previously, Xu Chunliang had used the threat of demolition to intimidate tenants. Now that he had collected the rent, he was somewhat reluctant to see it demolished, as no one wants to part with money.
