Chapter 321: Why Does Everyone Want to Hit Me for No Reason?

"So, you're saying that because you wanted to get to work early, you instructed your child to place a small stool at the elevator entrance to block it, right?" Lao Li looked at Mr. Lou in front of him and said.

Mr. Lou's face turned pale, and he hurriedly explained, "Officer, it's not like that, I just... I really don't know how this happened."

"If you don't know how it happened, how come your kid said it like that? If you didn't tell him, would he know to say that?" the neighbor who was late yesterday said indignantly.

"Enough!" Lao Li shook his head, looked at Zhou Yi, and his expression became even more serious.

Lao Li had actually seen such situations before; generally, the local Police Station didn't have many good options, so they mainly relied on criticism and education.

As for any alleged criminal activity, that would be a joke; in any case, after clarifying the situation just now, Lao Li already knew what Zhou Yi was thinking.

Giving someone a scare is actually nothing; after all, many people won't learn their lesson from simple criticism and education alone.

But now, with this incident, adding criticism and education to it would have a very good effect.

So Lao Li didn't explain right then and there whether it was correct or not, but stepped forward and said, "Hmm, this matter is a bit troublesome. Mr. Lou, right? I need to take you back now to understand the situation. Please cooperate!"

Lao Li had worked at the grassroots level for so many years and knew many local situations like the back of his hand, except for when he first met Zhou Yi, which had truly left him stunned for a long time.

For a family like this, it was absolutely necessary to give them a good bit of criticism and education, so taking them back was truly beyond reproach; after all, it's a local Police Station, they have to manage everything.

Moreover, generally speaking, if two people have a conflict and are arguing incessantly, the first step is to take them back to let them calm down.

You don't say, the effect is really good; outside, it seems like they are arguing to the point of wanting each other dead, but as soon as they are brought back to the station, most people's anger instantly subsides, and they take the initiative to reconcile.

Lao Li had handled many similar situations.

As a result, when these words came out, the older woman almost fainted, Mr. Lou couldn't stand steady all of a sudden, and then he grabbed the child and started beating him; he really used a heavy hand.

Lao Li hurriedly stopped him, "What do you mean by beating the child in front of me now? Why didn't you educate him when he made mistakes before? That's enough, come back with me!"

Lao Li's expression was very serious, and his voice was loud; the others in the room, including Mr. Lou's wife and others, also walked out, and their faces turned pale after learning the situation.

How could the man of the house be taken away just like that, out of the blue?

And all because of such a small matter.

Originally, they were afraid, but deep down they didn't quite believe it, as they felt it really wasn't a big deal, but now, Lao Li's demeanor made them think he was going to be locked up!

For a time, all kinds of pleas for mercy emerged one after another.

"Officer, Officer, please let him go. He really doesn't know anything; the child was just talking nonsense. It couldn't possibly be like that!"

Mr. Lou's wife stepped forward and kept saying.

Lao Li had a dark face: "Come back with me first to accept the investigation. We will not wrong a good person, nor will we let a bad person go. Please rest assured!"

Rest assured? Who could rest assured after hearing that...

This acting, this performance, made Zhou Yi sigh; it's still most comfortable with an old teammate. Look at Lao Li, he doesn't undermine his own side.

Mr. Lou's wife's pleas were fruitless, and the little brat next to them opened his arms and ran over, presumably wanting his own mother to hold him.

After all, she is his own mother; both his grandmother and father had beaten him.

As a result, he was kicked away by his mother, who then followed up with several heavy slaps on his bottom. Behind them, the grandfather also had a look of "hating that iron won't turn into steel," and raised his cane to give his bottom a few more whacks.

This whole sequence of events left the little brat completely stunned; he stood there, his tears held back, and began to feel depressed.

Usually, no matter what he did, no one in the family would touch a hair on his head, but now it was the opposite; father, mother, grandfather, grandmother, everyone wanted to beat him...

Zhou Mouren was happy to the point of exploding; what is called satisfaction, this is what is called satisfaction!

Just at this moment, his phone rang. He picked it up and saw that Chu Lan was calling from downstairs again. She had been waiting downstairs for a long time with no movement, and then she saw the police arrive, so she called to ask what was going on.

"It's nothing, nothing. Little Chu, wait for me a little longer, I'll be down immediately!"

He used to complain about others always watching the excitement and liking gossip, but it turned out he was the same; what a sin, what a sin...

Downstairs, Chu Lan looked at her phone, stunned. Little Chu?

Zhou Mouren hurried home to wash up; the remaining matters were for Property Management Manager He and Lao Li and the others. He believed they would definitely be able to ensure this family received an education.

As for the elevator, it really had to be handled by professionals; it seemed to be some kind of safety mechanism. In any case, this money would definitely have to be paid by Mr. Lou's family.

After washing up and going downstairs, looking at Chu Lan, Zhou Mouren said quite embarrassedly, "Sorry, sorry, they had a conflict upstairs, there was a brat, and well, watching the excitement delayed me a bit."

Liking to watch the excitement isn't a major fault. On this point, Zhou Yi was very repulsed by those who would constantly talk about how the countrymen are this or that, always spouting off about the bad habits of the countrymen.

And then how foreign countries are this or that... damn it, except for our country, all other countries are foreign countries. When you constantly say foreign countries are good here or there, which foreign country are you talking about?

Chu Lan on the other side just nodded without speaking. Little Chu, it became Little Chu so quickly.

Driving in silence, they arrived at Guangming Peak Residential Quarter on Gude Road in Guangming District. This was a key project of Jingzhou City's Guangming District, and this residential quarter was just one part of it. The entire Guangming Peak project had a huge investment, and the surrounding environment was also top-tier.

It could even be said that the office building currently rented by their Tengda Company also belonged to the Guangming Peak project. Rumor has it that there were even some conflicts when the land for this project was being requisitioned.

They soon found Guangming Peak Residential Quarter, and the agent Manager from Kangtian was already waiting at the entrance.

"Hello, Manager Zhang. This is our General Manager Zhou; he is the one who wants to buy this house," Chu Lan stepped forward to introduce.

Manager Zhang on the other side was a bit chubby; upon hearing this, he hurriedly smiled and said, "Hello, General Manager Zhou. Your eye for property is truly excellent. The entire Guangming Peak project is now steadily advancing, and this residential quarter has huge potential for appreciation in the future!"

Zhou Yi nodded and said, "Manager Zhang, I am a person who is always straightforward. Previously, it was Little Chu who went to see it with another agent, but the price wasn't settled, and I haven't seen the house yet, so I need to see the house first before we talk."

Manager Zhang immediately said, "No problem, General Manager Zhou. I will take you to see it now."

Building 23 of Guangming Peak Residential Quarter only had seven floors and was specifically designed for these large flat-floor units, one household per floor, and the area was very large. At the very least, Zhou Yi was very satisfied after seeing the interior of this house.

Whether it was the renovation or other aspects, this house was just too satisfying!

Two hundred and thirteen square meters; of course, the shared area was about twelve percent. According to the current housing prices in Jingzhou, buying this house would cost about seven or eight million.

Fortunately, he had earned quite a bit by "fleecing the system" during the previous Internet Violence case, and with this special fund, he could still scrape together this money if he gritted his teeth.

After seeing it, it was time to talk about the price and various services.

"So, Manager Zhang, you also know that the agent I first found wasn't you, but another firm. However, firstly, their service wasn't done well, and secondly, they couldn't reach my expected price."

Actually, price is also a part of service, but they can be discussed separately.

Manager Zhang nodded; he wouldn't say much, but he was very clear in his heart.

In the current agency market, one can't say it's chaotic, but it's certainly quite messy.

With the good and the bad mixed together, the first lesson for many agents, which is the pre-job training, actually cannot be called training at all; it's just brainwashing.

They just tell you that if a client makes an appointment with you first, that is your client, and if they find someone else, it is Skipping the Agent.

Furthermore, the situation of "eating the seller then eating the buyer" is not uncommon; sometimes when a seller sells a house, they provide an estimated price, then sign an agreement allowing the agent to sell it, and the excess portion naturally belongs to the agent.

Note that this portion of money is not included in the agency fee; the percentage points for the agency fee must be paid separately.

Coupled with the fact that the agency fee itself is pegged to the housing price, some agents play tricks; they say they are helping you, but it is fundamentally impossible for them to lower the price.

You might say, "Otherwise, I will negotiate the price directly with the landlord opposite, and I will pay whatever percentage of your agency fee is due," but they refuse, citing the concern that you and the landlord will contact each other privately and skip the agent.

If this deal were to be concluded, then he himself would be a vested interest party, so Manager Zhang would not say anything reckless, but quickly stated his own price.

After hearing this, Chu Lan pulled Zhou Yi to one side and said, "It is indeed much lower than the first agency."

It is quite a bit lower, by some tens of thousands; although it is very little compared to the total price of seven or eight million, the first agency had explicitly stated that not a single cent could be negotiated down.

Although it is unknown how this second agency managed to negotiate it down, it is obvious that the homebuyer does not care how you do it, only whether there is a bargain.

After confirming the various follow-up services with this Manager Zhang, Zhou Yi sent the contract to Lawyer Fang; it is always better to let Lawyer Fang take a look.

Moreover, in this kind of matter, as long as you do not pay the money, you actually hold the initiative.

Soon, Lawyer Fang sent the contract back with a few clauses modified; Manager Zhang had no objections, so that basically settled it.

"So, President Zhou, you are paying in full, right?"

"Yes, full payment. As long as you have finished running all the procedures, I can pay very quickly. At that time, just give me the keys and I will move in."

This makes it even less of a problem; it is a full payment, so there is no need to consider the situation if a loan cannot be approved.

Having settled the matter of the house, Zhou Yi returned to Yuefu Residential Quarter and began to prepare for moving.

Although he had lived there for less than a year, the amount of stuff was unexpectedly large.

Why do many people find moving strenuous? Because they do not realize how much stuff they have; all of this needs to be sorted out starting a few days in advance.

If you call this person or that person to help pull things, they are not responsible for moving your stuff, because they are not a moving company.

Of course, if you insist on having them move it, it is not impossible; pay more money. As long as you pay more, everything can be solved.

As for that family that just moved in upstairs, if I offended them, then I offended them; it doesn't matter, I am moving anyway.

As it turned out, just as he was packing vigorously, he suddenly heard what sounded like an argument starting downstairs, and it was very intense. *Sigh*... I am actually a person who does not like to watch the excitement, but these legs sometimes do not listen to the brain.

Only after going down did he realize that these neighbors had arrived faster than him, and Liu Nainai was also there, currently trying to persuade them incessantly.

"Xiao Wang, it's not worth it, really not worth it. How long have you two been married? You only got married a month before Xiao Zhou moved in, right? Why is it that you absolutely must get a divorce now?"

Looking at Xia Ziyan and Wang Wucheng in front, Zhou Yi was not surprised; this pair both had major problems with each other.

Xia Ziyan was crying there and saying, "Liu Nainai, I don't even know how I provoked him. He came back today and insisted on divorcing me. I apologized to him, I almost knelt down for him, but he won't say a word, he just wants a divorce."

So what exactly is the situation? Zhou Yi looked at the neighbor next to him and asked.

The neighbor shook his head and whispered, "I don't know too clearly either. I just heard it was because of what happened this morning. Xia said Xiao Wang isn't a man, that he should have been like you and gone up to help when the other party was berating her yesterday."

This actually has something to do with me... Zhou Mouren was a bit speechless.

Yesterday, he was the one who forced this Xia Ziyan to apologize; this plot, I dare not imagine it.

"At first, Xiao Wang didn't say a word. Later, it seems Xia said something like, 'Since we can't go on living like this, let's get a divorce.' Then Xiao Wang said, 'Fine, let's divorce,' and immediately wanted to divorce. No one could stop him. It's obvious this anger has been held in his heart for a long time. It seems Xia also often talked about divorce before..."

Zhou Yi looked at the neighbor curiously. You know quite a lot, don't you? You speak as if you were peeking from the side when the young couple was arguing. And you call this "not knowing too clearly"?

Then what would a "very clear" situation look like!

However, there is really nothing to say about this situation. Wang Wucheng is obviously a "muffled gourd," not good at expressing himself, and everything at home is decided by Xia Ziyan.

And before marriage, he was definitely the type to be completely submissive.

After marriage, Xia Ziyan never gave her man any face, not knowing that for a man, face is really important.

You can do whatever you want at home; you are a young couple, that is called having affection.

But outside, you must give your man enough face, because outside you and your spouse are one, and his face is your face.

It is a pity that this Miss Xia does not understand at all. From what Zhou Yi saw before, she would order Wang Wucheng around in front of outsiders, scolding him whenever she wanted.

At this moment, facing Liu Nainai's persuasion, Wang Wucheng finally spoke, but his voice was very calm, carrying a sense of exhaustion.

"Liu Nainai, don't persuade me anymore. I have already thought it through. She never treated me as family at all, so why should I still try to stick around? Since we got married, she has mentioned divorce countless times. Since she doesn't want to live this life so much, let's divorce. While the entanglement is not yet deep, it is better for everyone."

"But I was just saying it! I just felt that you didn't value me after we got married, you started yelling at me, you didn't listen to me..." Xia Ziyan said while crying.

"No need, these are no longer important. Since you think I am not as good as other men, then there is no need to live with me. Let's just separate."

"By the way, let's calculate the previous Bride Price and such properly."

As soon as these words were spoken, Xia Ziyan, who was still crying just a moment ago, suddenly flew into a rage: "You are just doing this because of this little bit of money, right? You are just doing this because I wanted a Bride Price, right? Then my parents raised me for so many years, shouldn't I give them some compensation?"

"But that is my parents' retirement money!"

In the crowd, Zhou Yi shrank his neck. This is marriage, huh? It's a good thing Lawyer Fang let him choose Zhou Xinran. What a joke; Zhou Cainiao knows the law, alright?

Today is a good day, so I should add a chapter, but because of the company dinner on Friday, it is late. However, there is still more. Tonight is nothing more than sleeping at two o'clock again. Everyone who wants to stay up late can stay up and wait; if you don't want to, wait until tomorrow to read it. Thanks to Zhushugu, Wenchidage, Feimaowuyu, Zhuiyi Geiwo, Xingqushiran de Shenchougou, Youyige Xinshou, wfei, Leifa Weiwang, and thanks to the brothers for the tips, thank you.
