Chapter 65: I've Been Stepping on the Earth Beneath My Feet for Over Twenty Years!
In front of the parking space, Xu Linna was making a phone call.
"Sigh, Mom, wait a moment. I don't know who occupied my parking space. That's right, I just called him to come and move the car. People these days are becoming less and less civic-minded."
"Wait, Mom, I'm hanging up. It seems he has already come over."
Hanging up the phone, Xu Linna looked at the man walking over in front of her and said, "Are you the owner of this car? Hurry up and move it; I'm quite busy here."
For Xu Linna, the best kind of life was one without surprises; whether at work or off work, she liked the feeling of everything being orderly.
And incidents like this one, where a parking space was occupied, would make her feel frantic. Although it looked like a small matter, she didn't like such "surprises" at all.
Therefore, Xu Linna just wanted to get the other party to move the car away quickly.
Zhou Yi glanced at the young lady in front of him; her appearance was on point, her outfit was quite fashionable, and there was a small Mercedes parked nearby.
Of course, that wasn't the point. The point was, damn it, the other party could actually make a phone call!
Old Xie could make calls before too. Damn, what kind of piece-of-junk phone did he have...
"What are you looking at? Hurry up and move the car, big brother, I'm really in a rush here," Xu Linna said hurriedly.
Zhou Yi finally spoke: "You say this is your parking space?"
"That's right, this is my parking space. Does this even need to be proven to you?"
"Of course it needs proof!" Zhou Yi pointed to the Sports Camera on his chest and said, "It can't be that just because you say it's yours, it's yours. In this day and age, you have to speak with evidence!"
Xu Linna was speechless and said, "I've been parking here for a year; all the neighbors nearby know it."
"Parking for a year makes it your parking space?" Zhou Yi curled his lips: "Then I've been stepping on the Earth beneath my feet for nearly twenty years, and I haven't dared to say it's mine..."
"You... big brother, you're being unreasonable..."
"Who's being unreasonable? Look for yourself. I bought the parking space here before, but I just haven't parked here, and then you parked in it. And now you're actually asking me to move my car?"
"No, big brother, according to what you said, you can't just say this parking space is yours because you say so. You have to produce evidence, right?" Xu Linna retorted as well.
It can't be that whatever you say goes. I say it's mine, you ask me for evidence; you say it's yours, I have to ask you for evidence too!
"You want evidence, right? No problem."
After saying that, under Xu Linna's bewildered gaze, Zhou Yi took the sales contract directly out of his pocket. To be honest, according to common sense, a parking space like this with property rights that can be bought and sold should have a property certificate.
But he didn't have one, so he had to carry this sales contract wherever he went.
Huh? Xu Linna was stunned; this big brother actually carried a sales contract with him!
She hurriedly took the sales contract and looked at it carefully. Zone B, 031. That's right, it was this parking space.
So, the parking space she had been using for a year was actually someone else's?
And also, 032. The other party actually bought two parking spaces...
"Do you still want me to move my car now? Young lady, it's already nice of me not to ask you for a year's worth of parking fees, and you're still saying I'm being unreasonable?" Zhou Yi said, looking at Xu Linna in front of him.
Poor Xiao Xu didn't want to encounter any surprises in the first place, but today's surprise was a bit big!
Therefore, she hurriedly said, "Big brother, big brother, please don't label me. It's not like I just parked in this space randomly; I rented it from the Property Management!"
Huh? This time it was Zhou Yi's turn to look a bit puzzled: "You rented it from the Property Management? Do you have evidence? I bought this parking space from the Property Management. It makes no sense for them to rent out a parking space they've already sold..."
Is it possible for this kind of situation to happen? Yes, and some Property Management companies in the past have even gone so far as to rent out empty apartments belonging to owners to other people.
Zhou Yi also discovered when he was upstairs that the house and parking spaces arranged for him by the system were purchased more than a year ago.
And this point was also confirmed by Liu Nainai; the family downstairs had moved away more than a year ago, and after that family moved out, the house was renovated.
So, no one found it strange that no one had lived there since; after all, a newly renovated house needs to air out.
So, actually, although he only activated the system last month, the system had already arranged everything?
Thinking about it this way, it feels terrifying to contemplate...
But fortunately, anyway, after having the system, his life was much happier than before. It seemed that not only was he not losing out, he was actually profiting. This made Zhou Yi subconsciously think of that line spoken by the late Ng Man-tat in one of Stephen Chow's movies...
Damn! I am the master of the system!
Xu Linna had already taken out her phone and was scrolling through it constantly. Finally, she said, "Found it. Look, big brother, this is my chat history with the Property Management staff member, Xiao Xu."
"At that time, I had just bought a car and was planning to go to the Property Management to rent a parking space. Then that Xiao Xu told me that there happened to be a parking space that had just been rented out, but the other party decided not to rent it after all."
"If I wanted to rent it, he could give it to me for a cheaper price, only I couldn't sign a contract."
"At that time, I thought, anyway, it's all within the Small Residential District, and the Property Management can't run away, so we agreed. Look, this is the transfer record."
Zhou Yi took the phone and looked at it carefully; the monthly transfer records were very clear.
Returning the phone, Zhou Yi shook his head and said, "You must have been scammed. In this day and age, no matter what you do, having a record is better than having none. Renting a parking space without a contract, and he didn't even give you a receipt—were you really that brave?"
"I don't know if the Property Management is aware of this matter, but even if that Manager Xue isn't aware, his own Employee using the Company's name to scam people must be held responsible!"
Judging by the previous phone call with Manager Xue, the other party should not have known that this parking space was rented out privately.
Xiao Xu could only look up at the sky now.
"Then, big brother, now that your car is parked, how about I park outside for now?"
"That's a good idea!"
Xu Linna: "o((⊙﹏⊙))o"
"This still requires going to the Property Management. Look, we..."
"Big brother, I really have something to do later. How about we go tomorrow?" Xu Linna said hurriedly.
"That works too. It just so happens that the Manager from the Property Management has to contact me tomorrow. Do you see this parking space next to us? This is also mine, and it has also been occupied."
"Heh... hehe, big brother, you are really rich."
That young lady left in a hurry, leaving only Zhou Yi looking at the two parking spaces in front of him.
He didn't expect that this one had actually been rented out by the Property Management. This matter was becoming increasingly surreal.
And there was that guy who had occupied his parking space for a year. Originally, it would have been enough for him to just move the car, but looking at that guy's attitude, he would have to ask Lawyer Fang about this.
After making a phone call, half an hour later, at a familiar coffee shop, the two sat opposite each other.
"Speak, Zhou Yi, what is it this time!" Lawyer Fang sipped his spiked coffee and smiled: "Back when I was in Modu, no one could take care of my business like this."
It really is too considerate; every few days, it's either a consultation or a Lawsuit, and they are all such trivial matters. This makes Fang Dazhuang feel that this friend—oh no, this soulmate—Zhou Yi, he is determined to make!
"This time, it's a matter like this, related to parking spaces. The situation is roughly like this..."
Zhou Yi once again roughly explained the situation of the two parking spaces, then immediately stopped talking.
He knew that Fang Dazhuang definitely understood what he meant.
Fang Dazhuang sipped his coffee and began to think carefully, soon saying: "This matter is simple. Your parking space was occupied by that person for a little over a year, so let's count it as one year; just make him pay compensation according to the rent of your Small Residential District."
"Additionally, you can also initiate a Lawsuit against the Property Management. The Property Management collected parking space management fees, so they must be responsible, but they watched your parking space being occupied and remained indifferent; you can demand a refund of the parking space management fees."
"The second parking space is the same; ask the Property Management for the previous rent, plus compensation. Your evidence is very sufficient, so rest assured."
At the end, Fang Dazhuang said with a sense of lingering regret: "It's a pity, it's a pity that your car wasn't bought at that time..."
Zhou Yi: "..." Why does he feel that Fang Dazhuang is not interested in these matters that only involve paying a little money? It seems like he is just thinking about how to send the other party inside...
…………
At the Property Management, Manager Xue is on the phone.
"Xiaofei, come move your car tomorrow. Listen to me. No, that kid is especially serious, you know? Before, in order to make Xu Yufeng upstairs submit, he actually rented all the houses next door..."
After recounting Zhou Yi's "battle record," he concluded: "Just come and move it. I will find you another parking space later. Just soften your stance a little; don't be too arrogant, you know."
"Alright, alright, brother, I'll go over tomorrow, is that okay? This is giving you face. Otherwise, I'll just park there for ten days or half a month; can he still tow my car?"
"If you don't say anything, which tow truck can get in!"
"If he dares to play any dirty tricks, it's not like there is no Monitoring there; I'll call the police and have him arrested."
