Five System II

As for the city building and decorating, Kerun who is in charge of construction system was instructed by Xiang Monji. He will be meeting Xiang Monji in the office today.

{City lord's Mansion, Personal office}

Kerun who is assigned by the City lord to manage and supervise the infrastructure went inside, where Xiang Monji is working with a 2 feet long piled of papers on the table from left and right.

"Greetings to you young lord" bow 45 degrees with reverence, right palm is on the chest.

"You may take your seat"

He take a sit in the guest chair, as what the young lord have tell him.

By now Xiang Monji get off from his main chair and goes to sit on the guest chair, facing across Kerun where at the center of the guest chair is a small wooden brown miniature table.

"Thank you for coming despite with your hectic schedule"

/Take a sip, whilst brimming with assertiveness and majestic aura./

(Handmaid came in and the tea is automatically serve, whenever a guest is coming.)

"Likewise, how can I be bother when our young lord is also busy"

He also took a sip from the tea that is being served.

( End of greetings and formality )

"Let's start without further ado,"

"Currently on my hand is a blueprint, see and look for yourself,and also judge whatever you want to say without a single ounce of hesitation of criticism, but surely base on facts."

" I want an honest opinion from an expert, not from a regular person. And know that I won't accept any sugar coating to please me."

/stoic and remain a neutral expression./

"I Understand" he had a serious look like he's talking to a fellow adult.

Kerun look at it prudently, and eventually evaluate the feasibility of the blueprint and come up with his opinion and critcism.

While looking at it, Xiang Monji ask kerun, how was the *clearing progressively?

(*Referring to demolishing buildings, houses, business establishments and etc.)

"Uhmmm,"

/Touch his chin/

"Around 1/8 the sum of the total area estimated"

"Were there an obstruction?"

/Sip his tea/

"Well, we had some hindrances, but when we were about to brought up your name everyone stay meek and distraught. "

["Make sense, humans harbor contempt when something is taken from them to a varying degree" ]

"However, it is not an expression of willingness out of free will. Somehow their is a feeling of heavily upset mixed with being subdued and fear in their eyes, when I said, it was a mandate from the city lord himself."

/Elaborate further, and made multiple hand gestures/

["common, I'm not a kid for you to simplify things, as if your talking to a baby"]

"Primarily on the onset, the residents cave in, morever knewing my temparent, they knew that I woudn't do something irrational without a cause."

[Do I have to know about your behaviour, the next thing you have to say would be probably your personality, virtue and characteristic.]

"They made a ruckus, and trying to persuade me thinking that I would change my mind, and so I brought forth your name. Indicating that I'm absolutely following the orders from *above."

(*higher ups)

["Oi! oi! .... this is the third time you mentioned about the the city lord brought up whatever or my name, is my name or title really that intimidating?"]

/ Indeferrent to the rapport without ceasing to listen to Kerun./

(Fast forward...)

"And so that's what happen."

" Regardless to their unsettling expression, I made a compramise."

" I told them that the demolition is part of reconstruction, replacement, remodeling and renovation. Therefore no one would be rob or deprive from their property, such as their business, housing and land ownership."

" Alas, these are things out of consideration and to relieve them from stress"

"Currently the status que were serene and everyone concure without resisting. As of now they are staying at a tent for the meantime, as for the rest of the operation, we will be halting the demolition and focus on constructing before continueing the obliteration of the *old establishments."

(Old houses, relating to buildings,any damage property that requires renovation and etc.)

"Also we will be slowly, but surely make it beautiful and grandeous in accordance to the blueprint given to you by me."

"This is the over all end of my report, young lord"

["Wheew! Glad it's over, this is my first time listening to a chatter box, if this wasn't a relevant report I would have end it politely"]

Xiang Monji made his remark,

"To summarize 'all is well', but we are just trying to positively show them the good sides of our part, unbeknowst to them that some of their property will be 'legally taken'."

(* Legally taken, for instance a property or land own will be buy/bought by a goverment for a purpose of public utilization like building national road, Pier, public park and so on and so forth.

Note: this is just a "fictional story", so I'm not sure if there are existing laws like this.)

"You made the right thing Kerun, compramising the people with a white lie was the best way to persuade those local residents"

"But...!"

\Kerun was dumbfounded,\

"I'm not yet done, don't cut me off while your superior is speaking, understand?

\He wasn't joking when he said these

words.\

"Kerun, my dear Kerun. You and I are stranger, but after appointing you to a position, you are no longer a stranger, but a subordinate to me, regardless of you don't know me, I don't know you."

"Morever, compramising them was the best solution to settle the issue. There isn't a lie to what you've said,although you just lied a little bit to an extend that it is coated with a hoax."

"The blame to you, is a blame to me, pointing a finger to you, is pointing at me."

"Remember that you use my title, you have taken aboared under my name and now where on the same boat."
