Lin Yu paced back and forth in the conference room, his eyes frequently darting toward the silent telephone on his desk. For days, his mind had been consumed by the approval of the new proposal, and every single second of waiting felt excruciatingly long. Outside the window, the city traffic bustled by, but he had no heart to admire the view, his mind entirely filled with various details of the project and potential situations that might arise.
Ever since drafting the parallel proposal for heritage preservation and urban renewal in collaboration with the cultural heritage department, Lin Yu had led his team tirelessly into the work of refining and perfecting the plan. They worked overtime day and night, repeatedly checking every piece of data and every construction process, striving to make the proposal flawless. To make the proposal more convincing, Lin Yu specially invited renowned evaluation agencies in the industry to conduct a comprehensive assessment of the project's economic and social benefits.
On the day the proposal was submitted, Lin Yu personally delivered the beautifully bound document to the superior department. As he handed it over, his hands trembled slightly, filled with both tension and anticipation. He knew deeply that this proposal carried the hard work and expectations of so many people, relating not only to the success or failure of the project but also to the future of the entire team.
