Chapter 136: 0136 Demolition_1 Chapter 136: 0136 Demolition_1 The news broke, and indeed, it caused a huge uproar online.

Not many netizens pay attention to the lives of celebrities, and before the official announcement, there were only some minor rumors.

But they couldn’t withstand being constantly influenced by the trend.

Several famous actresses had already been rumored to be vying for the female lead role, but the language used by the marketing accounts suggested mere possibility.

Only in Lucy Wood’s case did the marketing accounts decisively claim it was her.

Wasn’t this tantamount to roasting Lucy Wood over an open flame?

Firstly, regardless of whether she was qualified, just those few actresses considered likely would probably have their eyes on her.

Seeing the news, Lucy Wood was somewhat panicked as she quickly asked Felicia Frost, “How did this information get leaked?”

She had just been confirmed by Wanton, and now the news had blown up; she couldn’t help but worry it might make the producers think she was a troublemaker.

Felicia Frost had already received several calls from the media, both openly and subtly inquiring about the truth of the matter. Sitting beside her, she was extremely busy and frazzled when she heard the question, “You don’t need to panic. I’m looking into it. There’s no way we would release the news ourselves. The problem didn’t originate from our end.”

Seeing Felicia Frost on the phone, Lucy Wood also became anxious.

While the two of them were anxious, Ellen Young leisurely returned to the countryside.

Lucy Wood wasn’t due until next month, so Ellen had time this month to take care of her own affairs.

Upon her return to the countryside, the village chief approached her with a beaming smile, “Ellen, there’s great news.”

Seeing the village chief so happy, Ellen smiled and asked, “What great news?”

The village chief’s smile was so wide it seemed his eyes might disappear, “The country has designated several hundred miles around us, including Seamount Village, as a redevelopment area. I hear that several villages nearby will be relocated here to build those large-scale communities that can house tens of thousands of people. Our village is going to develop!”

Ellen: “…”

Indeed, Haran Village had little prospect for development, but it was a different matter entirely with the country’s direct intervention.

If Wanton were to exert some effort later on, it was not unlikely for Haran Village to evolve into a smaller county town.

After all, the roads had already been connected.

Considering the many places worthy of redevelopment, it was no wonder why Haran Village was chosen. Ellen’s eyes curved like crescent moons, “This is great news, Grandpa Chief.”

“Of course it is! Who would have thought that our shabby place would see a day of redevelopment? I had a relative who got a house for each member of their family when they were redeveloped. I was so envious. And now, the good fortune has come to us too. I hear that they’re planning to start work in the second half of the year. The current information I have is that they’re compensating 300,000 yuan per person and for houses, they’ll provide a new one based on the size you currently have. Your grandfather’s old house, including the courtyard, measures at least 200 square meters. Although our place is not that great, this compensation is pretty good. Ellen, you’re going to be rich!”

Ellen: “…”

She followed the village chief’s lead with a laugh, her smile very sincere, “Yes, I’m going to be rich.”

Thinking it over, the village chief smacked his lips with a hint of regret, “It’s a pity that you’re the only one in your family, so the compensation won’t be much. That’s too much of a loss. I heard that getting married before the second half of the year counts as an additional person. Why don’t you get married quickly and include your husband too? 300,000 yuan per person, I’ve never seen so much money in my life!”

Ellen: “…”

The village chief was really breaking his heart over her redevelopment.
