Chapter 119: I Can Afford to Pay Millions!

Zhou Yi did not take Manager He's words to heart at all.

Perhaps Manager He, or even the previous Manager Xue, would wonder what he stood to gain from such an expensive and laborious lawsuit.

It should be that he wants the Small Residential District to be a little better.

But look at the people in the Small Residential District; you might want the Small Residential District to be better, but they certainly don't—on the contrary, they even think you are being meddlesome.

Regarding this, Zhou Yi's thinking is even simpler: I don't care what others think; I simply feel uncomfortable, and that is all.

It is just that what this Mr. Zhou said actually makes some sense.

Originally, Manager He had not thought about this aspect; in the Small Residential District where she worked before, basically everyone had a dog license, and they would wear dog tags when going out.

But thinking about the previous Property Management manager and the way things were before, Manager He felt that this might really be a path forward!

"Alright, Manager He, since others are paying me money, I'm going to go wash my clothes."

After saying this, Zhou Yi turned and left, though this time, he carefully avoided those very fierce dogs.

It is true that he is a person who takes things seriously, and it is even true that he is a person who has an edge.

But there are some things where taking them seriously is useless; if the dog didn't bite you, you can't even file a lawsuit.

One can only guess that, given the other party's previous behavior, it seemed like they didn't have a dog license.

Manager He pondered for a while, then immediately began to say: "Make an announcement: the Small Residential District will start checking dog licenses in the next few days; if you haven't obtained one, please go and do so as soon as possible!"

The sun set, the streetlights in the Small Residential District slowly lit up, and Zhang Li also brought the dog home.

"What's wrong? You're so angry the moment you get back; who provoked you again?"

Her husband, Sheng Xingyun, who was sitting on the sofa, asked curiously upon seeing Zhang Li's appearance.

"Don't even mention it. I met someone particularly troublesome this afternoon. Pipi just wanted to go play with him, but he insisted on saying it was going to bite him, and in the end, he even called the police!"

Hearing that the police were called, Sheng Xingyun was even more puzzled: "Why call the police? What exactly is the situation?"

"Who knows? Just a lunatic. What could the police say when they came? In the end, he said Pipi dirtied his pants and told me to pay him money!"

"A money-grubber..."

Sheng Xingyun said helplessly: "Alright, Lili, next time you go out, use a leash so you don't keep getting criticized by them."

"Also, Property Management notified in the group that they are starting to check dog licenses these two days. I remember Pipi hasn't gotten one yet; you should find some time to go get it done."

"Check dog licenses? What right does their Property Management have to check? I won't get one; could they possibly arrest Pipi?"

"Just raising a dog, it's so troublesome every single day; it's annoying to death!"

Seeing his wife's state, Sheng Xingyun could only sigh.

Of course, neither of them mentioned the Property Management matter again.

The reason is also very simple: who does Property Management think they are?

Two days passed in a flash, and Zhou Yi's life remained very regular.

Being in the owners' group, he naturally saw the message sent by Property Management.

In fact, there were quite a lot of owners who supported Property Management's plan to check dog licenses.

Even the most supportive ones were actually the owners who raised dogs!

In their words, it is those uncivilized dog owners who have ruined the reputation of all dog owners.

Clearly, there are still so many people who are raising dogs in a civilized manner.

Therefore, they support checking dog licenses; it would be best to let all dog-owning owners raise their dogs in a civilized way!

As for the owners who don't raise dogs, they either support it or don't care, and there are even more who support it.

Everyone doesn't want to be bitten by a dog in the Small Residential District for no reason and then not even be able to find the owner.

With such support, Manager He had already found the urban management department; they have personnel specifically for catching stray dogs.

Still the same point: Property Management does not have law enforcement power; it can make suggestions, but it cannot take action directly.

But the urban management department is different; according to regulations, they participate in assisting the Public Security Department in managing pets and eliminating the hazards of stray dogs!

Things went very smoothly; it just so happened that the municipal department was actually promoting civilized dog ownership during this period.

Because in some places, stray dogs had already become a disaster.

These stray dogs abandoned by their owners can form large packs.

If a person afraid of dogs passes through these areas and sees a pack of dogs, they might be too scared to pass.

The matter of raising dogs has caused huge conflicts, and in some Small Residential Districts, there have even been large-scale instances of isoniazid being spread, with dog owners and non-dog owners coming to blows directly.

Against this background, Jingzhou City naturally began to carry out a special rectification campaign for stray dogs and uncivilized dog ownership!

So it can only be said that Manager He was also lucky; she chose the right time.

To a certain extent, Manager He and Zhou Yi's thoughts are quite similar: this kind of rectification of uncivilized dog ownership must scare those uncivilized owners once and for all.

Therefore, the staff of the urban management department were already prepared this time: if they still found dogs without licenses, they would take the dogs away first, without exception!

If you want to get your dog back, fine; first go and get the dog vaccinated according to regulations, then apply for a dog license, and bring a dog tag.

Of course, this is also considering not being too excessive; otherwise, dogs not on a leash could also be taken away.

After a week of hard work, there were many people in the Small Residential District on Saturday.

Zhou Yi had naturally already discovered this special team; they would step forward to check whenever they found a dog owner in the Small Residential District.

Dog license, dog tag, dog leash; even for some medium and large dogs, they must wear a dog muzzle.

The staff member, Xiao Hua, explained very clearly: don't say that it's uncomfortable for a dog to wear a muzzle; this is not only to prevent them from biting people but also to prevent the dog from being harmed.

The reason is very simple: in those Small Residential Districts where isoniazid was spread, it was all wrapped inside ham sausages.

If they are wearing a muzzle, the dog naturally cannot eat these.

Xiao Hua explained it very clearly, and many dog owners listened very carefully.

Of course, what everyone asked most was whether spreading isoniazid is illegal and whether it counts as poisoning.

Is this poisoning? Actually, strictly speaking, it counts; after all, it is a drug, and it would still have some harm to small children.

It's just that in daily life, people don't really manage it much...

Xiao Hua looked at the old man in front of him and said, "Sir, don't even think about that problem; nowadays, some people don't even use isoniazid anymore, what do they use? They use chocolate!"

"That kind of very, very pure chocolate—if a dog of your small size eats it, it definitely won't make it."

Dogs will also be poisoned if they eat chocolate, surprising, right?

So, is throwing chocolate considered poisoning? Well, we still have to hear what the experts have to say.

The old man nodded, then walked his dog even more carefully; he really couldn't let this dog come out and eat things randomly.

Xiao Hua and his colleagues continued walking while chatting.

He had also only been working for a short time and was likewise a temporary worker.

Of course, truth be told, why is it that there are always temporary workers involved in critical issues? Because only temporary workers do these jobs...

As it turned out, just as they were walking, they heard bursts of dog barking from ahead, and at the same time, bursts of arguing.

"Control your dog! It scared my child!"

One could hear a middle-aged woman shouting at the top of her lungs there.

And on the opposite side, another voice said, "What's the matter? Pipi just wants to play with your child, what are you doing!"

Xiao Hua and the others hurried over.

There weren't many people watching the commotion at this moment; one could see a middle-aged woman holding a little girl and shouting, while on the other side was a middle-aged woman holding her own dog.

Zhou Yi was also here at this moment, and looking at the scene in front of him, he felt it looked a bit familiar—isn't that Zhang Li?

And the things being said now were all the same as before, about how her dog doesn't bite people, it just wants to play with people...

Perhaps what she said was indeed correct; that dog didn't look like it wanted to bite anyone.

But as someone who is quite afraid of dogs, seeing such a large dog make a lunging and biting motion, who would still think the other party is just playing...

And that's just dogs; for large felines like tigers, as well as lions, perhaps playing with their own owners could cost the owners their lives.

The reason is simple: this group of animals grows too fast, and they don't have a clue about their own bodies and strength yet...

It was just obvious that this Ms. Zhang was again not using a leash.

Her dog was still running around wildly.

"Play your ass!" The middle-aged woman opened her mouth, and her combat effectiveness was fierce to the extreme.

"You say it's playing, so it's playing? That was clearly wanting to bite my child! I find it strange, how can there be a person like you!"

"It's been said that you have to use a leash when walking a dog, why aren't you using one?"

The middle-aged woman on the opposite side was not Zhou Yi; her combat power was strong to the extreme.

Zhang Li also got angry: "I already told you this isn't a pet, this is my family member. Does your family tie a rope around a family member's neck?"

Holy crap, when rivals meet, it's a battle of wits!

Zhou Yi subconsciously turned on his Sports Camera.

Sure enough, this sentence enraged the middle-aged woman.

She stepped forward, wanting to kick the dog, but the dog dodged it, and Zhang Li on the other side had already started spewing all sorts of things.

As they kept spewing, there was no other way; despite the middle-aged woman being older than the other party, she stepped forward and gave her a shove.

This was like Mars colliding with Earth, and both sides directly started fighting.

It lasted about a minute before the two were pulled apart by the surrounding residents.

Xiao Hua and the others looked at each other; they were hesitating whether to go up and ask if the other party had a dog license.

This moment didn't seem like a good time...

The middle-aged woman had already called the police, and not long after, the local policeman Lao Li arrived again; his eye sockets were a bit dark, and one could tell he had stayed up late again last night.

Seeing it wasn't Zhou Yi, Lao Li breathed a sigh of relief, but he still started investigating and questioning.

It was just obvious that both of them were very angry.

"Let me tell you, there are many people who keep dogs in this Small Residential District, and someone as lacking in manners as you is truly rare. Others walk their dogs on a leash, why can't you?"

"So you're just special, huh!"

The middle-aged woman shouted there.

Zhang Li on the opposite side didn't show any weakness: "So what? I am special, so what? I have money! Do those poor ghosts know how expensive my dog is?"

"How expensive? Just wait until one day I put something in this Small Residential District and let your dog have a good meal!"

It was unknown which point of this sentence angered the other party; perhaps the dog really was her family member...

In short, after the middle-aged woman finished saying this sentence, Zhang Li on the opposite side flew into a rage!

"Damn you, you dare to touch my dog? If you dare to touch my dog, I dare to mess with your child!"

"The Jingzhou Cuisine incident was my doing, I did it to several places. I have plenty of money, I can afford to pay tens of millions!"

"I have money, I'm not afraid, I can afford to pay tens of millions. Do you know that your child's life isn't even as valuable as my dog's?"

Originally, everyone was just arguing, attacking each other's ancestors for eighteen generations and the like.

But such arguments are very common in life, so even if the cursing was fierce, it didn't matter much.

It was just unexpected that after the middle-aged woman said those words, Zhang Li started acting like a madwoman and began clamoring.

And this outburst of clamoring made even Lao Li feel a bit stunned.

Yes, although you have money, although you are some big boss, and you can afford to pay tens of millions, how could you actually say you would mess with someone else's child?

And especially that last sentence, that your child's life isn't as valuable as my dog's, which made the surrounding onlookers unable to even watch the drama properly.

Zhou Yi was even more dumbfounded there!

In the past, when he faced certain things, he relied on his cheat and had done things like crushing people with money.

But even if someone gave Zhou Mouren a thousand guts, he could never say such things.

If you have money, and your dog is more valuable than other people's children's lives, what would that become?

Most importantly, the fact that she could say such things under these circumstances shows that she usually relies on having money and seems to not take others seriously at all!

Zhou Yi had already thought of it; that day, this Ms. Zhang seemed to have not taken him seriously either.

The middle-aged woman was also a bit at a loss, and faced with such frantic clamoring, she didn't know what to say for a moment.

Lao Li's face was already very dark as he shouted, "What are you saying? Do you know what you are saying?"

"Everyone stop talking for now, follow me first!"

There were too many onlookers, and for this woman to say such things, the impact was very bad.

Just at this moment, for no known reason, the dog that had been playing by itself and only making some pouncing and biting motions suddenly jumped up and lunged at a child nearby!

"Watch out!"

Zhou Yi could only shout.

The dog was blocked by the child's father, but it still kept pouncing and biting there, with constant barking.

Xiao Hua had already squeezed through, preparing to go over and ask about things in a moment, but ended up seeing this scene.

Without time to hesitate, he swung the stick in his hand firmly, hitting the dog on the head.

After hitting the dog until it yelped, and worried that there might still be trouble later, Xiao Hua picked up a net, covered the dog that was acting like it had gone mad, and caught it.

The dog struggled constantly in the net, but Xiao Hua revealed a faint smile at this moment: "Wang Ge, that was close, luckily I was fast."

Wang Ge beside him also nodded, feeling very fortunate; if they were on the scene and someone still got bitten, then there would be nothing to say, just wait to be reprimanded.

On the other side, Zhang Li, seeing her dog get hit and then caught, rushed over and roared.

The cursing was truly incessant.

Xiao Hua was trying hard to explain, saying that the dog was about to bite that child.

"Bite what? My dog never bites people, you put it down for me!"

It was a mess again; Lao Li had already called for people earlier, and now a few colleagues arrived and started taking people away directly.

It wasn't that taking you back meant arresting you, but finding a place for you to talk properly.

Nowadays, many people easily lose their heads when they argue or fight, and once they lose their heads, they really don't care about anything, and even the police can't persuade them.

Well then, just take them back, let them sit there, that will guarantee they become very calm, and then they can start talking properly.

Under these circumstances, one of the neighbors, out of a desire to spread gossip, sent the video they had recorded earlier to a friend.

Clearly on holiday at home, yet wasting the day, it's really quite baffling. When at work, I can write a chapter even during the lunch break, why is it that when on holiday, people get lazy... I dare not ask for votes, my dear readers, please wait until I finish updating today and then give them as you see fit.
