Shen Yan, leader of the relocation negotiation team of the District Urban Renewal Office, has signed countless signatures in six years and never fails. Zhou Mu, the third generation manager of "Guangnian Photo Studio" in Huaiyinli, is the last person on the street who does not sign a contract.
The first time she came to the door, she waited at the door for more than two hours. The second time, he proposed a deal: talk for thirty minutes in exchange for him taking a photo of her.
