Chapter 31: Community Office and Property Management!
Poor Zhou Yi originally thought his combat power was strong enough that he could leave Liu Xu's parents unable to take care of themselves just by talking to them, but as it turned out, there is always someone better than you!
He felt just like Fang Tangjing encountering Bao Longxing returning from the brothel, being verbally torn to shreds!
Especially that line in the other party's mouth, "How come everyone else is fine but you're so delicate," which really made one's blood pressure rise the moment they heard it.
It had the same effect as phrases like "it takes two to tango" and "with so many people here, why doesn't he hit anyone else but you."
If one didn't know the true situation and just looked at this scene, they would think that he, Zhou Yi, had done something wrong.
Especially since Xu Yufeng's family had already stepped out the door, seemingly feeling that they had the numbers on their side, so Xu Yufeng spoke even more vigorously!
"It's a tiny little thing, you think you're so special, you think you're the only one who stands out, and you can't sleep? Let me tell you, only narrow-minded people can't sleep. You, you deserve not to sleep!"
"I'm just puzzled, you lot, isn't it just a little bit of noise? Don't you make noise in your own home? You're purely sick!"
If Zhou Yi had been thinking about using various comparisons to deduce the conditions for the system to issue tasks before coming over, then in this situation, he no longer had any other thoughts.
He just wanted to go up and fight this woman to the death!
However, he still had some sanity left; he kept his phone out recording, and he really couldn't get into a shouting match at this moment, so he said directly: "Fine, I can't out-talk you, let's have someone who can talk come over!"
After saying this, Zhou Yi dialed the Property Management number directly: "Hello, I am the resident of Unit 1, 1602, Building 2. Ever since I moved in, there has been noise disturbance upstairs every night, and I can't even sleep well. Are you going to handle this or not?"
After all, it was night, and only a few people were on duty at Property Management, so they replied directly to such matters: "Regarding this, you should go to the Community Office for noise disturbance; we at Property Management can't handle these things."
Great, the first call he made hit a wall immediately. Zhou Yi reminded them: "Are you sure you can't handle it? I can tell you that I have already turned on call recording here."
"Record however you like, that's your business. I can also tell you, go find someone else; matters like yours are not under the jurisdiction of Property Management."
After saying that, they hung up the phone directly!
And just before hanging up, Zhou Yi seemed to hear the other party cursing, saying he was sick for calling in the middle of the night.
Damn it, it's not like you're the ones who can't sleep because of the noise at night!
While Zhou Yi was calling Property Management, Xu Yufeng on the other side shouted even more fiercely.
"Still calling Property Management? Go ahead and call, don't just call Property Management, just call the police. I've really never seen someone like you. If you're really that delicate, why live here? Go live in a villa; surely no one would disturb you there."
Zhou Yi forcibly held back and called the Community Office. This time, it was probably a coincidence; someone from the Community Office lived nearby and said they would arrive soon.
Hanging up the phone, Zhou Yi said: "The people from the Community Office will be here in a moment. We'll have someone judge who is right then. No matter how big a matter is, it can't be bigger than the truth!"
"Come on then, I'll tell you, go ahead!"
The Community Office staff arrived very quickly this time. It was an aunt who looked to be nearly forty years old, wearing a pair of glasses, and behind her was a young woman with delicate features.
"What's wrong now? Xu Yufeng, oh, Liu Nainai is here too. Why aren't you all staying put in the middle of the night? What are you arguing about again?"
Beside Zhou Yi, Liu Nainai introduced them to him: this was Tian Shuangfen, a member of the Community Office's residents' committee, and the one behind her was Xiao Li, Li Xiaoli, a grid worker who had just started working at the residents' committee.
Finally, someone who could talk had arrived. Zhou Yi stepped forward and said: "Auntie Tian, the situation is like this. I am a resident who just moved in downstairs a few days ago..."
Then Zhou Yi roughly explained the situation of the past two days; there was no need to exaggerate, because there was no need at all.
"So Auntie Tian, you tell me, I specifically posted a notice to tell their family, and as a result, they tore it down directly and even said I was the special one. Please judge this for me!"
Before Director Tian could speak, Xu Yufeng roared again: "What are you saying? Isn't it you who is special? No one has said anything about our family for so many years, but you moved in, you tell me, aren't you the special one?"
Her son, Zhao Xun, persuaded Xu Yufeng to stop, then looked at Zhou Yi and said: "No, I think I understand. You're saying my family's noise is too loud and makes you unable to sleep? Little brother, you have to have a conscience when you speak. Our family hasn't provoked you, has it? Is it really necessary?"
"Isn't it just my son playing at home? How did that make you unable to sleep? In this day and age, our country talks about governing by law. You can't just say whatever you want and expect us to accept it, right?"
Director Tian of the Community Office finally understood the situation and looked at Zhou Yi, saying: "Young man, so you see, what they said is also correct. You say they are disturbing the peace, but you must have some proof."
"You can't just say whatever you want."
Behind Director Tian, Li Xiaoli also looked at Zhou Yi with a curious expression. Although she hadn't been at the Community Office for long, she had already realized how tedious grassroots work was; it was truly tedious...
Xu Yufeng wore a look of mockery: "Exactly, if you have evidence, bring it out. People nowadays talk about evidence; empty words don't count!"
This was exactly what he was waiting for!
Zhou Yi opened his phone, found the video he had recorded earlier, and then said: "Auntie Tian, look, this is the video I recorded when I was disturbed earlier. You can check the time."
"What time was it then? Their family's noise was still so loud. You tell me, who could sleep with that!"
There really was evidence?
Director Tian originally hadn't held out much hope. To be honest, she had been in this community for so many years; who didn't know the situation with Xu Yufeng's family? As a result, she hadn't expected this young man to actually have evidence!
After taking the video and watching it, sure enough, it was past twelve o'clock at night, and the house was still so noisy. In the video, one could hear all kinds of violent sounds from upstairs.
"Xu Yufeng, what is going on? The noise in your house at night is indeed disturbing the peace!" Director Tian turned back and said.
Xu Yufeng was also stunned for a moment, not expecting the other party to actually have evidence, but she still said: "What's wrong, Director Tian? Is this against the law?"
"My grandson couldn't sleep at night, so he played for a while, and that becomes disturbing the peace? What's wrong, is your Community Office going to bully my family along with him?"
Facing such an unreasonable person, Director Tian also had a headache: "Xu Yufeng, no one wants to bully your family. Your family is indeed disturbing the peace, do you know that? Can you keep the noise down at night, please?"
After all, as the director of the residents' committee, Director Tian had spoken, and Xu Yufeng's son and daughter-in-law hurriedly helped to persuade her, finally managing to get her inside.
"Director Tian, don't worry, we definitely won't disturb the peace again."
Having received the promise, Director Tian then turned to Zhou Yi and said: "Alright, young man, there's nothing else now. You can go back and sleep in peace."
"Then what if they continue to disturb the peace?" Zhou Yi asked.
"Young man, we can only do so much. The Community Office doesn't have any law enforcement power. Alright, young man, we're leaving now."
After speaking, Director Tian left in a hurry.
Leaving behind a bewildered Zhou Yi. Was that it?
Why did it feel like he had been the one looking for trouble from beginning to end? It was clearly the other party who was wrong, but because she could shout, everyone was persuading her?
On the contrary, no one offered a word of comfort to him, the one who hadn't slept well for two days!
Only now did he have the mind to check his task; it was still in a blurred state and hadn't refreshed.
After thinking for a while, Zhou Yi turned around and went downstairs. Let's get a good night's sleep today.
Perhaps Director Tian's face really had some effect; there was no movement all night long.
However... just as Zhou Yi was sleeping soundly, suddenly, a series of alarm sounds rang out!
What is this again... Zhou Yi woke up in a daze, checked the time, it wasn't even five o'clock yet, and he didn't remember setting an alarm.
Wait, after listening carefully, this alarm was clearly coming from the kitchen.
Going to the kitchen to check again, there was no need to look; the ringing was coming from the drain, and one could tell immediately it was from the floor above.
Zhou Yi felt he was now completely unable to suppress his anger; this family really had something wrong with them, it was definitely on purpose!
