Chapter 67: That's the Other Party's Personal Behavior! 1/10 (Seeking First Subscriptions!)

Originally, a beautiful day was supposed to start with a bowl of Old Altar Pickled Cabbage Beef Noodles plus a Shuanghui ham sausage.

However, after watching the news, Zhou Yi decisively threw away all the noodles and sausages in his house.

He cooked some dried noodles to eat, then went on Bilibili to watch young ladies dancing in a random but enthusiastic way, feeling time fly by; before long, it was almost eleven o'clock.

He seemed to have told Manager Xue yesterday that it would be before twelve, right? Was there still no movement?

Just as he was thinking about whether to call and ask, the phone rang at that very moment.

Picking it up to look, it was Xu Linna, the young woman who had rented the parking space yesterday.

"Hello, Miss Xu, what's the matter?"

Xu Linna on the other end of the line said quite helplessly: "Big Brother, didn't you say you'd go to the Property Management today to ask about the situation? It's almost noon now."

"I was planning to ask, and I haven't received a call yet either. Forget it, I'll head over now. Where are you?"

"Oh, I'm right at the entrance of the Property Management office."

Zhou Yi: "..."

"Then why didn't you go in and ask? Did you have to wait for me to get there?"

"I... I'm a bit afraid to go in alone..."

"Wait there!"

Zhou Yi tidied up, still fully armed, bringing everything he needed, and arrived at the entrance of the Property Management office, where the young woman Xiao Xu in a short skirt was already waiting.

With a casual wave, Zhou Yi walked straight into the Property Management office, his demeanor leaving Xiao Xu behind him stunned.

"Hey, is your Manager in?"

As soon as he entered the Property Management office, Zhou Yi shouted directly at the staff at the front desk.

"Who is it? Don't you know how to knock when you come in? The Manager is no... ah, so it's Mr. Zhou!"

Ma Lili's expression changed extremely quickly; the moment she looked up and saw it was Zhou Yi, she swallowed the words "the Manager is not in" right back into her stomach.

The young woman Xiao Xu behind him looked on in a daze; this Big Brother looked so impressive, was this really the Property Management of our Small Residential District?

She knew for a fact that the Property Management of this Small Residential District was notoriously bad, and they usually ignored people who came to get things done. Looking at it now, could it be that she remembered wrong?

"It's me. Your Manager isn't in? I had an agreed-upon time with him yesterday!" Zhou Yi said, looking at Ma Lili.

Ma Lili hurriedly said: "He's in, the Manager is right in his office, he should be waiting for you. Come, I'll take you in."

"And who is this..."

"Oh, she's with me, she has something to discuss with the Manager."

Ma Lili gave a hum and didn't ask further; as long as she brought the people in, that was enough. As for how the Manager would handle it, that was the Manager's business; people are different from one another.

Bang, bang, bang!

"Manager Xue, Mr. Zhou is here to see you. He says it was agreed upon with you yesterday."

Inside the office, Manager Xue looked up abruptly, his face wearing a trace of dullness, as if he were surprised why Ma Lili had actually brought the person in...

But he reacted quickly after all, hurriedly smiling: "Mr. Zhou is here, please sit anywhere. Look, I was just about to call you."

Zhou Yi expressed that such words didn't even enter his ears; these people were all like this—if you didn't go find them, they could drag things out until next year.

But the moment you came to find them, they would say some bullshit like "Oh, I was just about to call you" or "I was just looking for you, and you happened to arrive."

"And this young lady is..."

"Her? She is involved with my other parking space. Let's not talk about her for now; let's talk about my matter. Manager Xue, where is the person? Wasn't it agreed that the car would be moved?" Zhou Yi raised his head and stared at Manager Xue.

Manager Xue hesitated for a moment, then said: "Mr. Zhou, don't be anxious, listen to my explanation. That... the other car owner has something urgent come up temporarily and might be delayed for a while. Why don't you wait here for a bit?"

"Something urgent came up just at this time?" Zhou Yi looked at Manager Xue with a face full of suspicion: "How about this, Manager Xue, why don't you give them a call right now?"

Seeing Manager Xue look displeased, Zhou Yi explained: "We have to ask clearly how long 'a while' is. We can't all be wasting time here because of this matter."

"What, their business is business, but our business doesn't count?"

Upon hearing this, Manager Xue managed a stiff smile and said: "Since you put it that way, I'll ask again..."

Just as the mobile phone was taken out, Zhou Yi said: "Oh right, remember to put it on speaker."

Manager Xue's forced smile vanished instantly...

At this very moment, in a mahjong parlor outside the Small Residential District, a slightly chubby man was playing in the heat of the action.

"White Dragon!"

"You dare play a White Dragon at a time like this? Hu! Lao Song, you've dealt the winning tile again!"

The slightly chubby Song Xiaofei had red eyes and said: "It's just three rounds of dealing the winning tile in a row, what of it? It's just a little pocket money. Come, continue, continue! Don't even think about running away if you've won!"

Just then, his phone rang. Picking it up to look, Song Xiaofei's expression became a bit impatient.

"Hello, Brother, what is it again? Can't you tell them to wait? I've been stuck in three rounds in a row, I can't leave!"

Inside the Manager's office, Zhou Yi and the young woman Xiao Xu exchanged a look, then looked at Manager Xue.

"Brother? Stuck in three rounds? Can't leave?"

Song Xiaofei on the other end of the line was busy with the battle and said upon hearing this: "Brother, who is talking? It's nothing, I'm hanging up first. I'll go back after I finish playing."

Manager Xue's complexion had turned visibly dark.

"Who is your brother? What are you shouting about? Let me tell you, I'll give you twenty minutes, get back here quickly, otherwise I'll call a tow truck to have your car towed away!"

Having said that, he didn't even wait for the other party to speak and hung up directly.

Zhou Yi and the young woman Xiao Xu looked at Manager Xue with full suspicion. Manager Xue squeezed out another smile and said: "Mr. Zhou, he will definitely arrive within twenty minutes..."

"Oh right, what is this young lady's matter?"

Zhou Yi curled his lips; that was a clumsy subject change...

"Her? Her situation is like this: I originally bought two parking spaces, but the house was being renovated for a year and I didn't move in, nor did I buy a car. Then, my parking space was inexplicably rented out to her by the Property Management. Manager Xue, what do you have to say about this?"

Manager Xue's face had gone completely numb: "What? Your other parking space was rented to her? That's impossible, the Property Management didn't rent this parking space out..."

"Mr. Zhou, we are a legitimate Property Management Company. It is impossible to rent out parking spaces that have already been sold. You must believe us."

Zhou Yi shook his head: "I believe you, but the evidence doesn't; your staff member really did rent out a parking space to someone and even collected money for it."

Beside them, Xiao Xu had already cooperatively taken out her phone to show Manager Xue the chat history and transfer records.

"Xu Ziqiang?"

Manager Xue was silent for a moment, but still looked at Xiao Xu and said: "Miss, I am not too sure about this matter, but I can call Manager Xu over for you; he is the manager in charge of property security."

"However, this matter should have nothing to do with Property Management, because you see, these transfers were all made directly to his personal account; there is no receipt from Property Management, let alone a contract from Property Management, so this belongs to the other party's personal behavior..."

Huh? Upon hearing this, Xiao Xu was instantly stunned; she truly lacked knowledge in this area, and after hearing what Manager Xue said, it felt like what the other party said made quite a lot of sense...

Zhou Yi shook his head and said: "Manager Xue, that is not the right way to put it; that Manager Xu is, after all, your staff member, and he rented out the parking space in the name of Property Management."

"Now you say it has nothing to do with Property Management, that doesn't seem quite right either..."

Manager Xue shook his head: "Mr. Zhou, that is just your opinion; I insist that Property Management has nothing to do with this matter, because from beginning to end, I knew nothing about it."

Just kidding, he definitely could not admit to this; if he admitted to it, how would the "work" of Property Management be carried out in the future?

Zhou Yi smiled; if things were fine just because you didn't admit to them, then what would be the point of the law, and what would be the point of Lawyer Fang?

"So Manager Xue, why don't you just call that Manager Xu over to ask him first? Truth becomes clearer with debate; let everyone speak openly and see if he did it personally or if Property Management told him to do so."

Manager Xue was a bit hesitant; he did not know about this specific incident, but he understood the matter in his heart!

They would operate this way with some parking spaces that had been sold but had not been parked in for a long time; if the owner discovered it, they would just brush it off, stall, and only pay money back if there was truly no other way.

During the process of stalling like this, many owners would give up on causing trouble for various reasons; after all, there is that old saying, what is past is past, and in reality, they did not seem to have lost anything.

But there was no help for it; after the call was made, that Manager Xu soon walked in.
