"Marion, are you crazy? How could that piece of sewage area be worth billions?"


    Even if they used it tounder money, it wouldn''t be worth ten billion dors.


    Randy gestured as if to pat Marion''s forehead, but Marion swatted his hand aside. The municipality has issued a document."


    "What kind?" Randy scratched his head, clueless.Content held by N?velDrama.Org.


    Debra exined, "For urban environmental protection and greening, the municipality will fund the redevelopment of all sewage areas. So, this ce will soon be a greenbelt, and I won''t need to spend a dime." "For real?" Randy was skeptical.


    "Additionally, I''ll receive a two-billion-dor subsidy for corporate development," Debra said.


    "What?" Randy stood up from his chair.


    Marion calmly added, "Moreover, the surroundingnd was owned by the real estate tycoon, Mr. Stephen. For this conversion, he has started a new project to transform the area into high-end residential andmercial developments." "Are we talking about a major redevelopment here?" Randy blurted out.


    "Furthermore, Debra ns to develop arge-scalemercial district on part of thisnd," Marion chimed in.


    "How did you know?" Debra asked, intrigued.


    Marion remained silent, but Debra understood. With Marion''s intelligence, this was undoubtedly the best n he could think of, and indeed, it was her optimal strategy.


    Randy hesitated for a moment. "But building a newmercial street will be costly."


    "With the subsidy, plus Mr. Stephen''s upscale developments nearby, attracting investors will be a breeze. The financial issue is solved."


    Debra had already nned this step.


    Randy gave her a thumbs-up. "Impressive!"


    "Thanks," Debra smiled.


    "But still don''t get it. The approval was just issued today, and none of us had any prior hints. How did you foresee that the city''s greening initiative would include thisnd?" Randy eyed Debra suspiciously.


    It wasn''t something one could simply guess. Such decisions were usually kept confidential, and if they. the insiders, hadn''t heard about It, it meant the municipal decision-making was under tight wraps this time. Debra had never been involved in real estate development before, so predicting this was too far-fetched,


    Marion''s gaze flicked to Debra. A sly smile yed on her lips as she dered, "That''s a secret for now.


    Randy''s hopeful expression vanished. "Pfft!"


    Marion''s gaze remained on Debra. She turned around and seemed to detect a smile in his eyes.


    Her heart skipped a beat, and she quickly averted her gaze, thinking she was imagining things. ''Someone like Marion couldn''t possibly be interested in a married woman like me. Marion spoke up, "We still have time. I''ll ride you


    back.


    ncing at the time, Debra didn''t rush to respond. "When did you find out about this new policy?"


    "This morning," Randy answered. "Why do you ask?"


    "If you''ve seen it, others probably have too," Debra replied.
