Seeing Chu Ge laughing and joking, completely ignoring him, Bao Zhanhai couldn't help but tightly clench his large fists, then he pulled up Director Lu, who was kneeling on the ground in a daze.
Director Lu of the Operation Management Department slightly regained his senses, feeling a dull ache from his knees, which was an awful sensation, almost making him kneel down again.
However, compared to the discomfort in his knees, his mood was obviously even worse.
"Mr. Chu, have you ever heard the saying, 'Leave a way out for oneself, so you can meet again in the future'?"
Bao Zhanhai's voice grew colder.
"Sorry, I didn't study much, so I haven't heard of it." Chu Ge turned to look at Bao Zhanhai with a face full of apology and puzzlement, shrugged his shoulders, "Is this Liu Yixian very famous? What does it matter if you date her or not, how is that related to meeting her?"
Sensing the coldness in Bao Zhanhai's words, Li Nan, who originally felt a bit nervous, couldn't help but burst into laughter when she heard Chu Ge say this. Today she realized that Chu Ge's mouth could be this sharp.
"You!" Bao Zhanhai raised his right hand swiftly, pointing at Chu Ge's nose, "So you're determined to be at odds with Master Chen San?"
"Who is Master Chen San? Never heard of him, I'm here to solve problems, why so much nonsense?" Chu Ge curled his lips and said impatiently, his eyebrows suddenly furrowing slightly, "Also, don't you think it's impolite to point at me while speaking?"
"Polite? You've said so much crap already, and you still dare to talk to me about politeness?"
Bao Zhanhai wanted very much to jab Chu Ge's forehead with his finger to ask him this question.
But in reality, he lowered his right hand pointing at Chu Ge, because no matter how angry he was, he wasn't foolish enough to think his combat strength could beat Chu Ge.
He was well aware that what he was facing at this moment was a monster who could single-handedly take down Long Kun's eight major generals without a scratch, and defeat the South Korean master Park Sungjin with one move.
Getting confrontational with Chu Ge now would only bring bad luck to him, so it was definitely not a wise choice.
"Mr. Chu, I know your sister was bullied, and you're upset, which I can understand. Here's my suggestion, we each take a step back. I'll bring all those people to you, where you can deal with them as you wish, and I'll pay five thousand for the clothes. How about we leave it at that, and if necessary, I'll help you carry the anti-theft door upstairs and install it for you?"
With a heart full of annoyance and frustration, Bao Zhanhai made his biggest concession.
"Those are the only three conditions, nothing else to discuss. As for whether you agree or not, that's up to you."
Chu Ge didn't buy it at all, letting out a cold laugh, "However, I'll only give you one day. If I don't get an answer by five in the afternoon, well..."
"Young man, don't be too arrogant, Master Chen San is..."
"That guy just said the same thing, and from the looks of it, you want to kneel too?" Before Bao Zhanhai could finish speaking, Chu Ge stood up from the sofa, looked at Director Lu, who was in pain rubbing his knees, and then at Bao Zhanhai.
Bao Zhanhai immediately fell silent, knowing that his group of followers was still outside, and he couldn't afford to lose face.
"Li Nan, Ye Li, let's go."
Since Bao Zhanhai didn't speak up, Chu Ge naturally had no interest in staying there. He beckoned to the two girls on either side and then got up from the sofa, stepping out of the Operation Management Department office.
Chu Ge didn't leave Bao Zhanhai his contact information, but this wasn't really to make things difficult. If Bao Zhanhai couldn't even get his phone number, that would indeed be strange, and he might as well find a place to knock himself out.
This was merely an attitude, a kind of "I look down on you, what can you do about it?" attitude.
Outside the door were several people from the property management, along with the hoodlums brought by Bao Zhanhai. As soon as they saw the three coming out, they immediately made way for them, watching them leave arrogantly, then looking at each other in confusion after the three walked a little further away.
Although they were all curious and wanted to know what had just happened inside, when Bao Zhanhai walked out of the property management office, no one dared to say anything.
Unless you're blind, anyone could see from his gloomy face how displeased he was, naturally, nobody dared to go touch that bad luck.
Having left Baihao Garden's Hongxin Property, Bao Zhanhai dismissed the followers who came with him and called his boss, Master Chen San.
Master Chen San's real name is Chen Jue. Despite having a nickname with "San" (meaning "three" but implying seniority and respect), he wasn't actually old, only around thirty-six or thirty-seven, being in the prime of his life.
When he received Bao Zhanhai's call, Chen Jue was fishing. After listening to what Bao Zhanhai said, he furrowed his brows and was slightly stunned. After a good five or six seconds, he suddenly chuckled lightly and refocused his attention on the fishing rod.
"Come find me, and we can talk about it in detail face-to-face."
This time, it was Bao Zhanhai's turn to be stunned. Listening to the tone of Chen Sanye, it seemed like he wasn't angry at all; instead, he was rather pleased?
Damn! What's going on here?
As Bao Zhanhai rushed over to Chen Sanye with a heart full of confusion, Chu Ge was driving towards the house that Ye Li rented.
After all, Li Nan and Ye Li still had shoe prints on them, so they needed to change clothes first.
Ye Li sat in the passenger seat, looking worried, while Li Nan in the back seat was watching Chu Ge's profile from the driver's seat with eyes glowing with excitement, his face flushed with excitement.
"Brother Chu, you were so handsome today! Do you know, Brother Bao is really well-known here in Lidu, even Brother Li has to show him respect, and it's said that he has a really bad temper. I never expected he'd be so obedient like a dog in front of you. It was satisfying, so satisfying!"
Chu Ge smiled faintly, neither confirming nor denying anything; he didn't think it was such a big deal at all.
In fact, he hadn't intended to take things so far initially, but as the ugly face of Hongxin Property gradually revealed itself to him, he was truly taken aback!
No wonder, back in the Tianjiao Film and Television Administration Department office, his colleagues always seemed filled with resentment whenever they brought up property management. Now he could finally understand them, feeling a visceral sense of empathy.
A group that couldn't see the interests of the owners at all, continuously plotting how to benefit themselves; how could they not be criticized and resented?
Chu Ge remembered a colleague living on the top floor once complaining about how their house would leak whenever it rained, turning the place into a waterfall cave. No exaggeration, just the rainwater from the leakage could almost support fish in the house.
Chu Ge was puzzled back then, asking, "Isn't there anyone to address this?" That colleague explained with a pained expression.
Technically, you should go to the property management, but when she approached them, they acted like it wasn't their responsibility, making up all sorts of excuses, telling her to find the developer. When she contacted the developer, she was tossed right back to the property management with just a few casual words.
After several back-and-forths, Chu Ge's colleague eventually realized she had to slip some cash to the evasive director at the property management. Sure enough, someone came to fix the leak that very day.
When Chu Ge heard this story, he shook his head in a mixture of anger and amusement. What nonsense was this?
If it's the responsibility of the property management, isn't it only natural for them to address the owner's issues? But no, if you don't give them some incentive, they simply won't deal with it. What can you do about it?
While his colleague felt wronged at the time, she was quite happy in the end. Since the leaking issue was resolved, she could finally renovate the place properly, laying the floor, applying plaster.
He thought this would be the end of it, but to Chu Ge's surprise, a few days later, when it rained again, his colleague's house began to leak once more. The freshly plastered walls turned all mottled, and the flooring got warped by the water.
When his colleague went back to the property management, they opened and shut their mouths self-righteously, saying, "Didn't I fix it for you last time? This time it's a new problem, you can't blame me. Anyway, the so-called millennia-lasting project in a certain gorge also failed the flood, didn't it?"
Upon hearing this, his colleague immediately burst into tears. Despite feeling extremely aggrieved, she ended up slipping them more money, and only then did the property management send someone to handle it again.
Still, they didn't fix it properly; it could barely hold during light rains but leaks during heavy rains hadn't changed much, just not as badly as before.
Until Chu Ge later left Tianjiao Film and Television, it seemed like the issue hadn't been fully resolved.
Such things were not rare to Chu Ge. He had heard of paying for a gas pipeline that hadn't been connected for over a decade and mountains of uncollected garbage.
Originally, Chu Ge was somewhat skeptical about these things, but now he personally witnessed it.
If it were just these issues, Chu Ge would certainly be displeased but wouldn't have blown up. The key problem was that the people at Hongxin Property not only engaged in these devious practices but also turned a blind eye to Li Nan and Ye Li getting beaten and even colluded with hooligans to cause him trouble. The actions of these people were simply "rogues with work badges."
To put it more bluntly, if he hadn't gone today, someone else trying to reason with them would likely have been either placated without resolution or beaten up by the thugs led by that so-called Brother Bao after the matter escalated.
Since things had developed to this point, it truly became a situation of "what's unbearable cannot be tolerated." How could Chu Ge continue to put up with their terrible behavior?
After all, this time going to Jinkai Villa with Mu Lingshan had escalated into such a big deal; Chu Ge no longer cared. Since these scumbags wanted to play, he would play along with them!
Yes, play until everyone is satisfied!
