Chapter 72: Are You Sick? 6/10 (Seeking First Subscription)

~8 min read 1,561 words

Song Xiaofei rubbed his eyes vigorously, feeling a bit incredulous.

Because in front of him, his car had been completely surrounded by a circle of large iron posts that looked full of high-tech flair.

It was truly surrounded so tightly that not even a breeze could get through; let alone driving it out, even if he wanted to get inside, there was no space!

Those large iron posts were almost pressed right against the car, yet not touching it completely, leaving not even enough room to open the car door.

Not only was Song Xiaofei stunned, but the friends beside him also had looks as if they had seen a ghost, saying, "Brother Song, this... it seems like you can't drive this car out."

No kidding, the car wouldn't fly.

Song Xiaofei quickly thought of that kid from yesterday; at the time, he had made harsh threats, and the other party had left without saying anything, so he thought he had scared him off, but he hadn't expected him to pull this stunt!

"Wait, let me make a call and ask."

Pulling out his phone, Song Xiaofei vaguely remembered that the other party had called him before, and he had later blocked him.

Searching through the blacklist, he quickly found him based on the time.

He removed him from the blacklist and then began to dial.

It rang twice, and the call connected.

"Hey, what are you doing? What do you mean by surrounding my car? Didn't I say I'd come move the car in a few days when I'm busy? Are you sick or something!"

On the other end, Zhou Yi's very innocent voice sounded: "Huh? What car of yours? I just installed parking posts in my parking space. As for why your car is in my space, you'd have to ask yourself; I wouldn't know."

Hearing this, Song Xiaofei immediately blew up: "F*ck, you're doing this on purpose, aren't you? I'm telling you, this is against the law, do you know that? You m..."

Before he could finish, the other side said they were busy, and the call was hung up.

Song Xiaofei hurriedly called back, but it was already "busy," and it was clear he had been blocked.

The whole process was exactly the same as when Zhou Yi had contacted him earlier...

A few friends looked at Song Xiaofei, and someone asked, "Brother Song, what do we do now?"

"You guys go back first. I'm going to find my brother. My brother is the Property Manager here. He wants to play hardball with me, huh? Let's see how long he can keep it up!"

At home, Zhou Yi blocked the other party with practiced ease and tossed his phone aside.

Since he was so good at talking, opening and closing his mouth just to spew insults, then he could just keep talking.

To these people, the law seemed to be something that served them; they didn't take it seriously when they broke it, but they started labeling others before they even knew if they had broken any laws.

At the Property Management Office, Manager Xue looked at the photo in front of him and asked with some confusion: "So, that Zhou Yi actually installed parking posts all around it? Is he sick?"

"Who knows, brother. He installed these privately without your permission. Hurry up and call someone to tear them down. I was planning to go out this afternoon, and now I can't even use the car."

Manager Xue thought for a moment and said: "Let me call and ask first."

Soon the call went through, and Manager Xue had already put on a smiling face.

"Hey, is this Mr. Zhou? Eh, I still wanted to talk about that parking space. The car owner was just in a rush yesterday, which is why he said that. Why did you go and block his car?"

"Manager Xue, you can't put it that way, right? Oh, so because he was in a rush and said he wouldn't move it, I can't be in a rush to install posts in my own parking space?"

Manager Xue laughed and said: "Mr. Zhou, parking space modifications require the consent of Property Management first. Not to mention whether you've gone through the procedures, blocking someone else's car like that is illegal..."

"Wait, Manager Xue, that's not right, is it? That parking space is mine; do I need your Property Management's consent just to install a parking post? Does that mean if I buy a cabinet for my home, I need your Property Management's consent too?"

"Is the Property Management that the residents of the Small Residential District pay for there to serve the residents, or to manage them? So, I can't even install a parking post to keep others from occupying my space without your permission?"

Hearing this, Manager Xue hurriedly said: "Property Management is of course here to serve the residents, but Mr. Zhou, you didn't just install one parking post; you installed at least twenty or thirty of them!"

There was a hint of surprise in Zhou Yi's words: "Manager Xue, which law in the country stipulates that a parking space can only have one ground lock? I don't recall there being one."

"Law without prohibition is permitted, Manager Xue. As a Property Manager, you don't even know this? Really?"

"Mr. Zhou, you're being a bit unreasonable saying it like that..."

Hearing this, Zhou Yi was once again amused to the point of laughter: "Manager Xue, the fact that I can still talk to you on the phone now shows that I am already being very reasonable."

"He was the one who parked in my spot, and he was the one who said he wouldn't move his car. I installed parking posts in my own space, and he's still dissatisfied. I just don't understand, what does me doing things in my own parking space have to do with him!"

"And Manager Xue, this matter should have been handled by you, Property Management, in the first place. But did he move his car yesterday? Did you say anything when he said he wouldn't move it?"

Manager Xue on this end was also getting a bit heated: "Mr. Zhou, I am talking to you nicely. If this is going to be your attitude, then I don't think we can talk."

*Snap! * The call was hung up. Zhou Yi showed with his actual actions that he had no intention of saying anything at all.

"Brother, I told you we should just go tear them down! No need to waste words!"

Hearing this, Manager Xue glared at him and said: "What nonsense are you spouting? We can only tear them down if there's absolutely no other way."

"You do this: I'll give you a number. Go find this person. This is an internet celebrity in Jingzhou who does Self-Media. Give them some money and have them come over."

Hearing this, Song Xiaofei immediately perked up: "Eh, this is a good idea. Let's have the media report on it; they'll definitely speak for us anyway."

"Alright, let's not talk about this for now. Hurry up and contact them. That internet celebrity doesn't charge little, and they have a lot of people."

Song Xiaofei hurriedly went out to make contact. Just as Manager Xue said, that internet celebrity "Big V" was quite popular and was always known for "speaking up for justice."

On normal days, they were even more "warm-hearted" and would help anyone who had a problem.

Meanwhile, in a shop in Guangming District, the somewhat famous internet celebrity "Ling Jie" was filming an episode of a shop-review video.

"My little darlings, look at this soup. Let me tell you, you have to drink the soup when eating lamb. Look at this soup, it's so white; nothing else can compare to it."

"This shop is authentic. We locals in Jingzhou love this taste!"

After finishing her lines to the camera, someone immediately stepped up to turn off the camera. Ling Jie, who had been putting on an act just a moment ago, quickly relaxed and poured the soup in her bowl directly down the drain.

Ling Jie was in her thirties and could only be described as having a bit of charm. She had become famous by relying on all sorts of pretentious videos, but she did have one thing: she had a silver tongue.

She could talk the dead into living.

She had been to this shop once before. That time, the owner hadn't paid her, so Ling Jie had gone on a tirade, calling the lamb soup in this shop worthless.

Saying things like this wasn't the kind of soup that locals in Jingzhou drank at all.

Then her fans directly flooded the shop with negative reviews on delivery and review apps. In the end, the owner had no choice but to pay her to come back and do another episode.

"Tell the owner it's done. Right, next program, any interesting things?" Ling Jie asked.

The little assistant beside her stepped up and said: "Ling Jie, someone just called us saying that at Yuefu Residential Quarter, their car was trapped by large iron posts for no reason, and they want to ask for our help."

Eh, Ling Jie became interested upon hearing this. An internet celebrity like her loved these kinds of explosive stories!
