Chapter 521: Could it be that the young man did it?

If one were to say that the initial million-yuan top-up was purely for traffic, then by now, Zhou Yi makes videos more so that everyone can realize that the law seems very far from us.

Yet it also seems very close to us.

Just like the recent incident that appeared online: a conflict occurred between children in a kindergarten, and the parents chose to go to the other party's home, physically assaulting the child and the elderly person, resulting in their criminal detention.

One can only say, there were a multitude of ways, yet he chose the worst possible method...

He, Zhou Mouren, doesn't care; in any case, every video offends someone, so it doesn't matter.

Publicity campaigns must, of course, coordinate with special operations, so the time set by the Publicity Department was after the special operations had finished their sweep.

At that time, the Public Security Bureau will issue a notification, and the joint law enforcement by the Housing Management Bureau and the Market Supervision Department will also conduct publicity; that will be the most appropriate time.

Let everyone know that, at the very least, as of now, the decoration deposit in Jingzhou does not need to be paid, and if a property management company engages in such coercive behavior, one can choose to call the police!

"A variety of materials will be sent to you over the recent period; make a good video out of it!" Lao Yang laughed over the phone.

Up until now, the cooperation between the Jingzhou Publicity Department and Zhou Yi has been quite good.

Because they have not seen any signs of collapse in Zhou Yi, unlike those other internet celebrities who get cocky once they become popular, leading to all sorts of scandals.

But this person Zhou Yi, even though he is already this popular now, still maintains a life of "three points and one line," which is truly extremely rare.

After hanging up the phone, materials were sent to Zhou Yi's mailbox one after another; he used the old method, forwarding them directly to the company's Self-Media Studio.

The special operations and joint law enforcement in Jingzhou City had already begun, and many residential small district property management companies were wailing in despair.

Some real estate companies themselves were not very legitimate, so their property management was naturally not legitimate either, and the pretexts for charging fees were simply too numerous.

Just like the pass that Liu Daneng had previously handled; in some places, they even had to collect a deposit for this thing!

Then there were the access cards for entering and exiting the small district, elevator cards, and so on; there were all sorts of ways to charge fees.

Needless to say, although this joint law enforcement was mainly to investigate decoration deposits, it did not mean that other things would not be investigated.

Within just a few short days, no fewer than ten property management personnel were arrested!

They all used their status as property management personnel to engage in forced transactions.

As for the small districts ordered by the Housing Management Bureau to make corrections and pay fines, that goes without saying.

On Zhou Yi's side, the video editing work was finally completed.

To say nothing else, those arrested property management personnel all looked full of regret in the footage, crying so sorrowfully.

But Zhou Mouren did not have the slightest bit of sympathy; to reach this point, one can imagine how they acted in the beginning.

Just that Manager Wang; in any case, Zhou Yi was angered when he communicated with him at the time.

Zhou Yi began recording the audio at his home in the Guangming Peak Residential Quarter.

"Hello, my dear audience lords, hello everyone. I am your old friend A Yi. It's been a while; has everyone missed me?"

"This time, to tell you the truth, I didn't intend to make such a big deal out of it. Who could have imagined that this matter started simply because someone wanted to deliver decoration materials into the small district..."

"The matter is like this: there is a security guard at Tengda who bought a house and wanted to renovate..."

Zhou Yi began to introduce it while accompanying the video. The video material this time was too rich; even though everyone in the Self-Media Studio had been working hard to edit it, the final cut was still over twenty minutes long.

Although some of the content here was something he had experienced himself, such as the phone call with that Manager Wang of the property management.

But looking at it now, he still feels a bit uncomfortable. Really, the moment the other party opens their mouth, it makes you feel like you can't suppress your anger.

After the other party was arrested, he also confessed, saying that his thought after knowing Liu Daneng bought materials from his brother-in-law was, 'Why didn't you do it earlier?', and he even said he was very 'principled'...

Heh. This damn guy sets a rule himself, then follows his own rule, and calls that being 'principled'?

If that's the case, then those who commit theft, those who collect usurious loans, and those who engage in internet violence can all say they are 'principled' people.

"Originally, I thought the matter ended here, but no one expected that the Public Security Bureau discovered from this case that the amount of money involved in this type of behavior is quite large."

For that Manager Wang's case, there is no need to calculate the amount; it is definitely a three-year starting point, and he can be sentenced to a maximum of seven years of fixed-term imprisonment!

The situation he was involved in was too serious.

"So the Public Security Bureau pondered it and prepared to crack down severely on this aspect. As it turned out, the comrades from the Housing Management Bureau were also there when they made the arrests that day. They discovered that this matter was causing quite a stir, and since they also happened to be doing legal education, they decided to organize a joint law enforcement..."

"Yes, so now basically all the property management in the whole of Jingzhou has been checked one by one. Up to now, ten suspects suspected of crimes have been placed under criminal detention."

"The Housing Management Bureau has also issued administrative penalties to thirty-five small district property management companies, including orders for rectification and fines..."

"The matter is a bit big, but this really has nothing to do with me!"

After the recording was finished, he reviewed it himself. Once there were no problems, he sent it to Lao Yang for review, and according to the requirements, he modified some of the more extreme language in the video.

After all, publicity work is especially important; one still cannot be too extreme in this kind of video.

After the modifications and the second review, it was finally acceptable this time, so he clicked upload.

Everyone on the internet has been eating melons recently; you have to say, there are really too many melons now, and one can't even keep up with eating them.

Celebrities using their own influence to run companies, suspected of pyramid schemes; those promotional videos make people feel dumbfounded just looking at them.

Things like 'live yeast' specially brought from abroad, or 'we are not doing this to make money, but purely for everyone's sake'...

Honestly, just looking at these promotions, you might even think they are the Leshan Giant Buddha.

But, these melons don't taste that satisfying; there are too many stumbles and bumps in the middle.

Under such circumstances, Zhou Yi's audience saw that this Pigeon Spirit finally updated!

"Wugou Feijian" looked at the video title at home with a bewildered expression.

"'Large-scale Special Operation and Joint Law Enforcement? This really isn't my fault!'" This brother read the entire video title word by word, and immediately became interested.

This guy A Yi hasn't updated for a while; he's pulled off a big one this time!

He hurriedly clicked in to start watching. At this moment, the bullet comments were already starting to increase, and everyone was routinely urging for more updates.

When he saw the face of that property manager, Brother Feijian was already starting to get angry!

He had indeed never encountered this kind of forced buying and selling behavior, but he had encountered property management companies forcing people to handle elevator cards.

You had to do it, and the fee wasn't cheap either!

Honestly, no one likes this kind of mandatory fee; it has nothing to do with whether you have money or not.

Especially since property management companies should be serving the owners, but now they act as the masters of the owners every day, which makes people very angry.

Then, as he watched, he reached the part where Zhou Yi called Fang Dazhuang, and upon hearing Fang Dazhuang's voice, he immediately felt reassured.

The barrage comments in the video at this moment were also uniformly saying "reassured."

Fang Dazhuang was just that reliable, to the point that just hearing the other party's voice made one feel that A Yi's opponent would likely be in for a "criminal" time.

Sure enough, without any surprises, collecting and securing evidence, then reporting to the police—a complete, one-stop process.

The only thing that Brother Feijian didn't expect was that there would actually be an unexpected harvest!

Because they saw the video state that there is no law stipulating that a Decoration Deposit can be collected.

"Yuan Jie": Holy crap, so it turns out there's no legal basis for this? I just checked the regulations here, and it turns out it's not allowed either, I'm stunned!

Yuan Jie is in Guang City; generally, regarding these kinds of regulations—and this isn't about regional discrimination or anything—places with developed economies indeed tend to go a bit further and have more standardized management.

"Road to the West": Is this for real? I genuinely didn't know; I've been paying this money for so many years and it turns out there's no legal provision for it, I'm speechless.

Similar comments were everywhere, and after watching, everyone started communicating with friends and family, only to discover that not many people actually knew about this matter.

After all, in daily life, very few people read through the entire Criminal Law, which concerns our personal safety, let alone regulatory things like the Property Management Regulations.

Plus, with the various regulations issued by different localities... even fewer people would actually read them through.

But to be fair, these things are truly closely related to our lives.

Although the Civil Code is already a code, it still cannot cover every single detail.

Then everyone enjoyed a good show: first, the staff from the Housing Management Bureau arrived, and just as that Manager was refuting everything, the police arrived.

He immediately shut his mouth.

And that Property Management staff member, really, not a single one was missed.

But by now, the matter was almost finished being told, so why hadn't the content mentioned in the title appeared yet?

Just as he was wondering, finally, the content of the title appeared.

After finishing it, Brother Feijian was left stunned in front of his phone.

Then he rapidly typed out a sentence: "You dare to say this has nothing to do with you? This is all because of you, okay!"

Looking at the comment section again, everyone was there discussing it heatedly.

Someone directly questioned: "Could this be fake? I'm in Jingzhou right now, but I haven't seen anything like this."

As soon as the questioning voice was posted, some busybody pasted the link to the official notice from the Jingzhou City Public Security Bureau and the joint enforcement situation report from the Housing Management and other departments.

Basically, these were posted online right around the same time as Zhou Yi's video.

"See for yourself, the Public Security Bureau themselves said it, and you're still saying it's fake?"

The questioning voice vanished; that brother who questioned it deleted his account overnight and ran off.

As expected of A Yi, with his own strength, he directly rectified the property management in Jingzhou...

A busybody commented directly: "I'm very curious, if those property management companies in Jingzhou see this video, will they want to do something to A Yi?"

Inside the Yazheng Group company, Tian Zong was on the phone; he had been feeling overwhelmed lately.

A manager of a subordinate Property Management Company was suddenly arrested, along with two staff members, and they were now under criminal detention.

Here, under normal circumstances, once a decision for criminal detention is made, there usually isn't any other situation.

That wasn't even the end of it; the Housing Management, Price Bureau, and Market Supervision departments were all acting like they had gone crazy, actually targeting that so-called Decoration Deposit!

Over these years, Property Management Companies had become accustomed to collecting this money, so after the initial regulations were issued, many Property Management Companies didn't take it seriously.

Just collect it anyway; as long as the owners don't complain, and if they do complain, once there's an order from above, just refund it, right?

This is the reason why illegal fee collection by many Property Management Companies is repeatedly banned but never stopped.

Some money, when spread out among everyone, isn't actually much—ten or twenty yuan—and only a few people are serious about it; the others at most curse a few times.

Then the company makes a profit.

But as it turns out, they started conducting joint enforcement.

But why is this? How did they suddenly start doing this? There must be some reason.

Now, those Property Management Companies in the city that were fined and arrested are all cursing.

Some bosses have even sworn that if they find out the reason, they must do something about it.

Tian Zong was naturally cursing there as well.

But he called people to ask and didn't get any results; just at this moment, the Secretary entered.

"Tian Zong, there's a video online; why don't you take a look? It's a video related to Manager Wang from the property management side."

Tian Zong hesitated for a moment but still opened the link, preparing to watch this video.

As a result, once he started watching, he couldn't stop; he watched the entire video and was completely bewildered.

Damn it, so this special operation and joint enforcement were all because of my company?

That damn guy surnamed Wang, his family actually had the nerve to come to the company and ask the company to step in and help!

Thinking of this, Tian Zong dialed a number and immediately said: "Notify everyone: that guy surnamed Wang has been fired; he has nothing to do with the company now."

What money can be earned and what money cannot be earned—if you don't even understand that, what are you doing out here in the world!

When you meet someone easy to talk to, earn their money; when you meet someone difficult, just let them be early on.

Sigh, but who could have thought that this matter would actually involve that A Yi from Jingzhou.

Just as he was thinking, his phone rang; it was the boss of another real estate company.

"Hey Old Tian, any news? I heard here that it seems like because a Property Management Company was collecting fees randomly, they started joint enforcement. Damn it, if I find out who it is, I'll kill him!"

"Old Tian? Old Tian, why aren't you saying anything?"

…………

At the entrance of the Detention House, Wang Fuxing walked out, and by his side was his brother-in-law Han Guoxing; their families had exhausted all their efforts and hired a well-known Lawyer, finally managing to secure Bail Pending Trial.

As for Pan Yanyan, she did not plead guilty, so there was no talk of repentance; generally, for such suspects, the Public Security Bureau would certainly not grant Bail Pending Trial.

"Fuxing, are you okay? Let me see!" Wang Fuxing's wife stepped forward and said, tears still hanging on her face.

For her, this matter was truly a bolt from the blue; within a single day, both her younger brother and her husband had been arrested.

"Right, the situation is probably clear now. Do you know A Yi? The young man who went to your Company before and claimed to be a relative of that Liu Daneng—that is A Yi. He has already filmed the entire matter and posted it online," Wang Fuxing's wife continued.

What? Both Wang Fuxing and his brother-in-law were stunned, especially Wang Fuxing, who immediately thought of the young man who had called him.

The other party even seemed to have specifically had someone tell him to bear the consequences himself...

The first update is here, don't go away, there is still one more chapter. Thanks to another newcomer brother, Wenchidage, Feimaowuyu, thanks to the brothers for the tips, thank you.
