Chapter 329
After breakfast, Kenneth changed into a formal suit. “I need to go to the Sinclair Group later.”
“Okay.” Both of them had things to take care of over the next couple of days.
Ophelia picked out a tie for him, standing in front of him like a doting newlywed wife, expertly tying it for him.
He was the one who taught her.
“Off you go, Mr. Secretary Kenneth,” said Ophelia.
Kenneth leaned down for a kiss, gently ruffling her hair.
Watching Kenneth leave the Rosewood Manor, Ophelia picked up her phone and made a call. “Mr. Thompson, make sure to update me on what Kenneth does at the Sinclair Group today.”
Mark Thompson, on the other end, wiped his brow nervously. “Huh? Miss… I mean, Mrs. Sinclair. Isn’t this asking for a bit much?”
It was asking him to go against his boss.
He was not someone who would do that.
He was Mr. Sinclair’s guy, after all.
“Do you want to change your car? I’ve already ordered the one you posted last time…”
“Mrs. Sinclair, you’re putting me in a difficult position.”
He couldn’t do something like that just for a car.
“How about I introduce you to a girlfriend, too?”
“Mrs. Sinclair, the whole Sinclair Group is yours. Whatever you say, I’ll do it. Talking about cars is too formal. Rest assured Mrs. Sinclair, I’ll give you a full report on Mr. Sinclair’s activities, even if he just goes to the restroom.”
He changed his position.
Ophelia was speechless.
He wouldn’t change his position because of a girlfriend. Mark looked decent. As the chief aide of the Sinclair Group, it was unlikely he couldn’t find a girlfriend.
Mark felt troubled too. With his position in the company and being close to Mr. Sinclair, no one dared to approach him.
Besides, the way he worked wasn’t like this usually, and with such a busy schedule, finding a girlfriend felt as hard as going to
the moon.
After the call ended, Ophelia changed into formal clothes, picked up her files, and drove to the Urban Development Bureau.
Recently, because her real estate development company landed two major government projects, La Reverie Real Estate quickly became one of the top five developers in Dellanex.
She often had to deal with people from the Urban Development Bureau.
Previously, Trent mentioned that a feasibility report was needed for slum development, along with seawater test data. She already had both prepared.

Besides that, she also secured the development rights for the area, much faster than she had anticipated.
Trent flipped through the documents, occasionally glancing up at Ophelia sitting across from him.
His eyebrows alternately furrowed and relaxed.
He still found it hard to believe that this young girl had accomplished it.
Though he knew from the beginning what she planned to do, and knew the reasons why she secured two political projects, he was a bit surprised when seeing all the feasibility reports and test data laid out in front of him.
He couldn’t help but regard Ophelia with new–found respect.
“We need to have a meeting to go over this,” said Trent.
Even if it was a set decision, a meeting was still needed to provide the people of Dellanex with a proper explanation.
“Alright, let’s schedule it now,” Ophelia urged.
She knew this wasn’t simple–even if the President approved, they still needed to discuss it, and putting it into action would probably face some obstacles.
She had anticipated this a long time ago and was fully prepared.
Trent glanced at her sideways. “You’re in such a rush. This isn’t a small matter. I’ll arrange it as soon as possible. Once the time is set, I’ll contact you. Remember to bring the experts.”
Trent’s tone was relaxed.
She didn’t like dealing with politicians; it felt like playing a never–ending game. Things just dragged on, as if they would never get done.
“I can bring the experts now,” Ophelia said, her tone firm yet polite. “Could you please arrange a meeting this afternoon?”
..“Trent sighed. It wasn’t the first time he dealt with Ophelia, and she always gave him a headache.
“Each department has its workload to handle. You can’t expect them to drop everything just for your issue, can you?” added
Trent.
“Do I need to have Kenneth invite them himself?” Ophelia cut to the chase, mentioning Kenneth directly.
Trent furrowed his brow and rubbed his temples. If so, Kenneth would invite them using his gun.
He didn’t want to see a bloody scene.
He sighed in resignation, “No need to trouble Mr. Sinclair. I’ll have someone contact them; it might just take a little longer.” “As long as it’s finalized today, I don’t care how late it gets,” said Ophelia.
In Heloria, the name Kenneth still carried weight.
Two hours later, in the spacious conference room, two sparse rows of people sat. Ophelia had also brought Cody and others to attend the meeting.
Are you kidding me? Developing the slums? With the President’s permission? Impossible, absolutely impossible.”
“Slums are special places? They are off–limits in Dellanex. They are not allowed for development.
There was a series of voices of opposition.

Faced with these opposing voices, Cody glanced at Ophelia who was calm beside him. “Ophelia, are you seriously planning to develop the slums?”
“Yes,” Ophelia responded calmly.
