Chapter 70: What Real Ruthlessness Is! 4/10 (Seeking First Subscription)

~8 min read 1,576 words

Zhou Yi drove straight to the north side of Jingzhou City; according to Fang Dazhuang, the company that produces this type of high-end Smart Charging Parking Stake has a sales outlet there.

And it just so happened that Fang Dazhuang knew the phone number for this place.

Zhou Yi had already contacted the other party beforehand; at the very beginning, the people at the sales outlet clearly didn't quite believe him, because this type of parking stake is basically purchased in bulk by companies.

Private individuals rarely buy these...

Moreover, business really wasn't good, because compared to other parking stakes, its functionality wasn't all that impressive, yet the selling price was quite a bit higher...

However, a sale is a sale regardless of size; since someone had come to their door, you couldn't exactly refuse.

Upon arriving at the location, a saleswoman received Zhou Yi, led him to an office to sit down, and immediately asked, "Mr. Zhou, since you've come for that product, let me give you a quote first."

"No need, the price and such aren't important. I know about these; I just want to ask you now, can this parking stake be installed densely?"

The saleswoman was stunned.

"Densely... installed?"

These four words were fine in other contexts, but they felt wrong when applied to this parking stake. Why would one need dense installation? Isn't one per parking space enough?

Or was he worried that his parking space would be stolen?

"Yes, that's right, dense installation. Can you see if that's doable?"

The saleswoman hesitated and said, "As long as there is space, it should be possible... Do you have specific requirements?"

Zhou Yi directly pulled out the photo he had taken earlier of the one-click car moving preparation and said, "Look at this."

The saleswoman took the phone; in the photo was a parking space with a car parked in it.

"I intend to install your parking stakes all around this parking space. Use these things to surround the car inside. Can you manage that?"

The saleswoman's expression became increasingly blank, and she subconsciously said, "But to prevent someone from occupying the parking space, just one is enough..."

"Just tell me if you can do it or not!"

The saleswoman finally couldn't hold it together, stood up, and said, "Sir, please sit for a moment, I'll go ask the Manager."

Soon, the Manager came over with a smile and said, "Sir, I heard you intend to use our new model of Smart Charging Parking Stake to surround this parking space, right?"

"I just took a rough look; technically it should be doable, but it can only be decided after specific measurements."

Zhou Yi nodded with satisfaction: "Then that's no problem. Because I can't connect the power for the time being, there's no need to turn on functions like charging or lifting. Any issues with that?"

"No... no problem."

"That's fine then. How much is it? Where do I swipe my card? Let's sign the contract!"

Ten minutes later, watching Zhou Yi's departing back, the saleswoman endured it for a long time before finally blurting out, "Manager, is this person a bit dim-witted?"

The Manager glanced at the saleswoman and said, "Why do you care? Even if the client wanted to use our parking stakes to arrange a heart shape for a marriage proposal, that's their business. We are only responsible for installing them well!"

"How are you working in sales? The client's needs are our goal. Who stipulated that parking stakes can only be installed one per space? Open up your thinking!"

After the lecture, the Manager returned to his office feeling refreshed; he felt he also needed to open up his own thinking...

With the parking stake matter settled, Zhou Yi went to buy a Camera and found someone to install it directly above his parking space.

Everything was set, and Zhou Yi then went home to wait for the company to come and install the parking stakes.

Perhaps because they really wanted to clear out their inventory, after waiting for just over an hour, the technician from over there called to say they were on their way.

Outside vehicles can enter the Small Residential District, but as mentioned before, it requires paying a fee.

Soon, a truckload of parking stakes was brought to the underground garage. Several installation technicians looked at the parking space and felt a bit numb; they had never installed them like this before...

"Gentlemen, have a smoke. I need to confirm: apart from your company's installers, others won't be able to dismantle these parking stakes, right?"

This was also a very important point. Although he had asked the Manager before, he still had to confirm it with these frontline installation workers.

Otherwise, if someone could just take a screwdriver and dismantle them, then installing this stuff would be no different than not installing it at all.

The oldest technician smiled upon hearing this: "You can rest assured about that. This thing of ours is the latest release, and yours is considered semi-permanent; it's very sturdy, no one can dismantle it directly."

After a pause, the old technician added, "You see, when we install it, we need to dig up a portion of the concrete floor. If you really want to dismantle it in the future, you'll have to dig up everything underneath..."

That was no problem. He let the technicians get straight to work; he didn't intend to dismantle them anyway.

He reserved the wiring in advance so that when the power is connected later, they can be raised and lowered freely without affecting parking. Besides, he had another parking space anyway.

Installation was quite time-consuming. Four technicians plus three apprentices worked together until evening before they finally finished.

The main thing was that there was still a car parked inside, so they had to be extra careful during installation not to scratch the car.

Once installed, after confirming there were no issues, the technicians left with a feeling of "city folks sure know how to play."

They had been installing ground locks, parking stakes, and such for so many years, and this was truly the first time they had seen someone play it like this...

The cost of these parking stakes added together could buy another car!

Zhou Yi felt even more refreshed looking at the scene before him. After confirming the Camera was connected to his phone, he went straight home.

If the other party wants to park, he can't be blamed.

If there is a book, it is long; if there is no book, it is short.

On the other side, after organizing the evidence, Fang Dazhuang came straight to the Guangming District Court.

It was the familiar window and the familiar people; in fact, many receptionists here knew Fang.

That face of his was simply too familiar.

"Teacher Fang, you've come again. What kind of case is it this time?" The receptionist girl looked at Fang Xujing curiously.

The last lawsuit regarding disturbing the peace was already about to be turned into a classic case, but unfortunately, there were some issues with the execution later on.

"This time? This time there are three cases. Take a look."

"Parking space occupied? You are also going to file a Lawsuit against the Property Management to demand a refund of the parking management fees? Eh, Teacher Fang, that's not right, why are there only demands for monetary compensation in here, and no demand for the other party to stop the Tort?" The receptionist girl was confused again.

People had filed a Lawsuit for occupied parking spaces before, but according to common sense, there was basically only one demand: to stop the Tort, plus a public apology.

Demands for damages were rare, because it often happened that after going through the trouble of a Lawsuit for a long time, the judgment result only required the other party to pay a few dozen yuan.

It was a case of truly not being worth the effort...

As it turned out, Fang Xujing's case was something else; he only wanted money, he didn't need them to stop the Tort.

"Ah, my client is a bit special; he just wants the other party to pay money, so please review it, and if the documents are all complete, then proceed with the Case Filing."

It was already evening, and after being busy all day, Xiao Xu drove back to the Small Residential District, very familiarly driving to Zhou Yi's parking space, only to realize after pulling up that there was no longer any place for her here...

That big brother looked so impressive during the day, but in the end, didn't he still fail to solve it?

Just as she was about to drive away, she glanced over and discovered that there seemed to be something unusual next to that big brother's other parking space, with a circle of something or other surrounding it.

Driven by a bit of curiosity, Xiao Xu got out of the car to take a look and was instantly stunned!

Because around that parking space, a square row of large iron stakes had completely surrounded the entire space!

It was truly packed tight; if one wanted to get out, it was estimated that only calling a crane would work.

But this is an underground garage!

What it means to be a ruthless person, Xiao Xu felt she had truly witnessed it now...
