The specific thing was that the government had bought this area and was preparing to develop it into a scenic spot. The location of his restaurant was excellent and the decoration was wooden. Therefore, Master Li had discussed with the government whether they could not demolish it. After all, a scenic spot needed a restaurant.
After a series of official assessments, if he kept it, he would pay less of the demolition fee, but at the same time, he would charge less rent. This was because after the construction was completed, he would be able to earn a lot of money every year by renting it out.
The two sides argued endlessly, and in the end, the officials agreed to give him a chance, but he had to show his own value.
