Chou Company Building.

At 10:00 a.m., the workaholic Chou Tzuyu heard a knock on the door.

"Come in." Tzuyu casually responded.

Ryujin pushed the door and entered the room. He approached Tzuyu's desk and quietly waited until Tzuyu finished signing the document in front of him.

"Boss, I've found the person you asked me to check last night." Ryujin handed him the investigation report.

"One of these two people is Kim Nahyun, the youngest daughter of S City's Vice-Mayor. The other is Lee Hyebin, daughter of the Wood Stone Properties owner.

"Wood Stone Properties?" Tzuyu frowned. "What's Wood Stone?"

"Wood Stone Properties is a company established int he past two years. It was only a construction team before. Actually Lee Hyebin wasn't really qualified to attend the Star River Charity Banquet, but she was good at flattering, and she happened to be a college classmate of Kim Nahyun. She must have heard that Kim Nahyun was going to attend and asked Kim Nahyun to take her along." Ryujin explained.
  
Tzuyu knocked his desk with his fingers, his eyes on the report in front of him. He looked at the two girls' pictures back and forth, then asked: "How is Wood Stone Properties doing?"

"The company was just established, so their operations and management aren't quite there yet." Ryujin said. "The Boss of Wood Stone Properties was a contractor before. He caught up with the real estate boom that happened in recent years and suddenly shot up in wealth. He made a lot of money, but he often deducted the wages of his migrant workers, so his reputation isn't very good."
  
Tzuyu frowned, and a trace of disgust flashed in his eyes. "What's their current project?"

"They bought a piece of land by getting a bank loan a year ago. They're planning to develop it into commercial housing."

"Let's talk with the relevant departments. Make sure they carefully monitor this Wood Stone Properties project." Tzuyu said.

"Understood." Ryujin nodded his head and smiled.

"I'll be sure to tell them to carefully check if Wood Stone Properties is fully conforming to regulation. If they intend to deforest one square meter of greenery, we must make sure they cut down 1.1 meters."

If this commercial housing project really was following the standards set by the state, then several house suites will be lost as a certain percent of greenery had to preserved in the land. A loss of a single suite would cost millions according to the current house prices in S City, let alone several suites. The building materials also needed to be carefully inspected to make sure no corners were being cut.

Due to this strict review, the construction time was bound to get extended. That's money spent every day. Moreover, Wood Stone Properties was a small and newly established company. They would definitely cry over their bank loan interest alone. If the construction time was lengthened and the houses ended up not selling well, then Wood Stone Properties' chain of funds would be broken in minutes. Ryujin felt that his Boss was a bit too ruthless.

Lee Hyebin, this little girl, probably would've never have imagined that after one casual remark about Sana Minatozaki, she would end up making her entire family suffer such a great loss.

"The Vice-Mayor's daughter...." Tzuyu pondered for a moment, then said: "Is the Vice-Mayor looking at S City's change of term next year?"

"Yes, Vice-Mayor Kim is a popular candidate for the next mayor." Fang Yu replied.

"Does Kim Nahyun like wearing fur?" Tzuyu remembered Kim Nahyun wearing fur in the banquet last night.

"Yes, but it's all said to be artificial fur." Ryujin replied.
