“Why… Why?” Jimmy quickly asked, his eyes wide.
“You really don’t know? Do you want me to tell you why?” Mr. Evans asked with a slight frown after glancing at Jimmy.
Swoosh!
Jimmy’s face went pale instantly.
He knew how Billion Trees Real Estate earned its fortune over the years. Shoddy construction and cutting corners were nothing. He knew very well the quality of the buildings favonovel.com built.
Everything was fine if the higher-ups did not look into it. However, once they started, they would find out everything.
There were many ways to make the construction quality look up to standard. Jimmy did not see any big problem with it. He had spent a lot of money to clear the dirt on Billion Trees Real Estate over the years. He could not think of any reason for them to shut down their building.
He rubbed his nose and suddenly remembered something.
Mr. Evans seemed to be on good terms with Ray. Ray and Sean were close friends.
With that in mind, Jimmy instantly understood Sean had hired them to go after Billion Trees Real Estate!
“Hahaha!” Jimmy sneered and figured it out.
“Billion Trees Real Estate’s various construction projects follow strict rules. And Mr. Zackman approved it himself.”
“What’s the problem now?” Jimmy asked, slowly looking up at Mr. Evans.
Hearing Jimmy mention Mr. Zackman, Mr. Evans and the rest frowned slightly. Of course, they knew who was Mr. Zackman, whom Jimmy mentioned.
In Joules Town’s government, favonovel.com was a big shot with real power. His status was much higher than Mr. Evans and the rest. He was also said to be on good terms with Billion Trees Real Estate.
If it were not for this, Billion Trees Real Estate would not have developed so fast.
“Jimmy, that’s enough. We have to act impartially and temporarily close down your company.”
“You have to come with us for investigation. I hope you can cooperate and not embarrass yourself,” Mr. Evans frowned slightly and said to Jimmy.
“I can cooperate. But what is it about Billion Trees Real Estate that is not up to standard?” Jimmy continued to talk tough.
Thud!
Mr. Evans opened the folder in his hand wordlessly.
“According to the law, if the building has more than 12 stories, you have to build two elevators. How many elevators have Billion Trees Real Estate built to save costs?”
Mr. Evans struck Jimmy speechless with his first question.
“Your building in the south has over 33 floors. The law states that a helipad must be built for buildings over 33 stories high. Did you build one?” Mr. Evans asked again, and Jimmy gritted his teeth in silence.
“Don’t you deserve punishment?” Director Bradshaw also asked with a frown.
Jimmy went quiet.
Those projects were from earlier years. He violated many rules to save costs.
In the last two years, Billion Trees Real Estate was no longer short of money, so it no longer broke rules. However, Jimmy did not expect Mr. Evans and the rest to find out about Billion Trees Real Estate’s skeletons in the closet from years ago.
He had nothing to say.
“Clear the crowd. Shut it down in 20 minutes!” Mr. Evans turned around and walked out without a word.
Jimmy’s face was dark.
“Mr. Lidell, what should we do?” Weston asked softly after clearing his throat twice.
However, how could Jimmy know what to do at this point?
The deliveries of three of their buildings were already long overdue. The unit owners came to cause a scene when they saw that the construction had been stopped for a long time. It would have been easy to fix if Jimmy had just let the workers in.
However, the construction site was shut down, and favonovel.com could not get the workers in even if favonovel.com found them. As a result, the owners would continue to cause a scene, and Billion Trees Real Estate would always be in a downward spiral.
Sean struck thrice today, and each one caught Jimmy off guard.
He would have been able to deal with all three problems individually. However, all three together were pressing down on Billion Trees Real Estate like Mount Everest.
Jimmy did not have any solutions!
“We can only find Mr. Zackman!” Jimmy was silent for a moment before speaking through gritted teeth.
Mr. Zackman was Billion Trees Real Estate’s backer. He had real power in Joules Town’s government. This Mr. Evans and others were nothing in front of Mr. Zackman.
However, big shots like that would not strike randomly, so Jimmy dared not disturb him.
The crisis Billion Trees Real Estate faced today was difficult to deal with. He could only turn to Mr. Zackman for help.
***
Afternoon.
Many people in Joules Town’s business circle had changed their attitude.
Many people thought Sean was biting off more than favonovel.com could chew by going against Jimmy. However, Sean put Billion Trees Real Estate in crisis by striking thrice, and the others were amazed.
Many people could tell Sean’s three strikes today were not planned overnight. He must have made preparations for it some time ago. He was only waiting until the right moment to take on Billion Trees Real Estate.
With that in mind, many company owners could not help but shudder.
Billion Trees Real Estate was not a small company, but Sean had already arranged their downfall without their knowledge. And, they were all closely linked to each other. It left Billion Trees Real Estate helpless as soon as they struck.
How horrifying were his tricks? How scheming could favonovel.com be?
No one could sleep at night if enemies like that were after them!
Facing a man like that, there were only two choices. Kill them and leave no chances. Or they could only choose to surrender and approach the other party.
Many people knew they could not destroy Lennon Real Estate, so their only option left was to submit to Lennon Real Estate.
Many companies had taken the initiative to express their intention to cooperate with Lennon Real Estate this afternoon.
