Chapter 73: Inconsistent with Our Values? 7/10 (Seeking First Subscription)

There are many small problems in life, and when encountering problems, many people just think about solving them; accordingly, public opinion is considered a relatively good channel for resolution.

Many people will display a kind appearance when facing a camera.

Therefore, some problems that were originally unsolvable can be resolved very quickly once reported by so-called media.

So now, when disputes arise, some people's first choice is the media!

It's just that it is very difficult, extremely difficult, to get official media to pay attention to a matter; thus, in today's highly developed internet era, all kinds of self-media have emerged as the times require.

Ling Jie knows this well, so she is very willing to invest in hardware facilities.

Cameras, microphones, and even specialized audio recording equipment—anyway, it looks quite professional.

After all, when you do self-media, carrying a camera versus holding a mobile phone to film are two completely different concepts.

Coupled with a press card of unknown authenticity, and Ling Jie's always vague words, many people even think she is an official media reporter!

So, when reporting on some matters before, they could be resolved very quickly.

Of course, Ling Jie charges money regardless of anything else; as for which side is "just" and which side is "unjust," she might pay attention at the beginning, but later on, it depends on the situation.

Anyway, what she wants is exposure and traffic, so naturally, she does whatever attracts people.

Zhou Yi has been living quite freely these past two days, but heaven knows why, that girl Xiao Xu who once occupied his parking space keeps calling him.

She asks about the progress of the previous parking space occupation; looking at that posture, she clearly treats him as the protagonist of a long-running serial story.

It's just a pity that Zhou Yi is too lazy to talk; are the dances of the young ladies not good to watch, or are the games not fun to play?

Since last time, there has been no word from the Company, and these two days are the days for the First Instance hearing; Zhou Yi is hesitating whether to go or not.

At this moment, at the entrance of the Small Residential District, Ling Jie has already started a live stream with professional equipment.

Such matters usually involve starting a live stream and then earning some gift money.

"In the Small Residential District nowadays, disputes often arise because of parking spaces, and today, someone told Ling Jie that a dispute has occurred in this Small Residential District."

"It's just that this dispute is a bit strange; the car owner says his car was even completely locked, and the other party refuses to accept mediation at all. Now, everyone follow my camera to see what exactly is going on."

For the owners of Yuefu Small Residential District, such matters are very lively; after all, it looks very professional, just like those TV stations, so everyone is curiously watching.

And in the live stream room, all kinds of bullet comments have already started flooding the screen.

"Go Ling Jie, this world needs people like Ling Jie!"

"For those who don't follow the rules in life, we must expose them!"

"Hurry up, hurry up!"

Arriving at the underground garage, Ling Jie said to the camera again: "We have arrived. Hey, everyone can see, right? Wow, it is really surrounded; the car inside has been completely trapped by these iron piles and cannot move at all."

"Ling Jie is also very curious, what kind of deep hatred is this that makes the other party do this? Now let's listen to the car owner's side of the story."

"Hello car owner, can you tell us what is going on with this matter?"

Song Xiaofei stepped forward, putting on an honest expression on his face.

"Hello, actually I don't know why either. This parking space has always been empty before, and no car had parked there for a long time, so I thought I would park here for a few days."

"But I didn't expect someone to suddenly pop up and say this parking space is his, and immediately told me to move the car. I just had something to attend to at the time, and when I came back, it had become like this."

"I have to go to work every day now, but this car is trapped here and can't move at all. I have to take taxis, and when I pick up my child, I let the child get rained on. I really don't know what to do; he even blocked my phone number."

Hearing this, Ling Jie made a thoughtful gesture and said: "So, in fact, it is confirmed that this parking space belongs to the other party?"

"Let's ask the Property Management first. Hey, hello, I would like to ask, does your Property Management know whose this parking space is? Is it the person who locked the car?"

The Property Management staff said: "Hello, we can confirm that the parking space indeed belongs to the other party."

"It's just that because the other party didn't have a car temporarily after buying the parking space, it has been empty. In fact, we don't know why it turned into this."

"Then do you know who the owner of this parking space is?"

The Property Management staff thought for a moment and said: "We know, this is also an owner in our Small Residential District, surnamed Zhou."

Ling Jie turned to the camera and said: "Now it is basically confirmed; the other party is doing this because they are resentful that this car owner occupied their parking space."

"Occupying a parking space is certainly not good, but since they are all neighbors, Ling Jie thinks there is no need to make such a big fuss. If you talk it out, then there is no problem."

"And since the other party has already blocked this car owner's phone number, Ling Jie is now prepared to contact the owner of the parking space."

Taking out her mobile phone, Ling Jie dialed the number according to Song Xiaofei's account, and then turned on the speakerphone.

"Hello, hello, may I ask if this is Mr. Zhou?"

In the room, Zhou Yi, who was dazed and had just woken up, said: "It's me, who are you?"

"Hello Mr. Zhou, I am Ling Jie, the host of the Urban Life segment. Now, regarding the parking space dispute between you and your neighbor, there are some things I would like to ask you. Do you have time?"

"By the way, we are currently live streaming."

Urban Life? Does Jingzhou have such a TV program?

Zhou Yi had no idea; even dogs don't watch Jingzhou's TV station...

But since someone had called, Zhou Yi could only reluctantly say: "Ask whatever you have to ask."

"Mr. Zhou, it's like this: we already know that you bought the parking space, but you didn't have a car before, right?" Ling Jie smiled at the camera.

"Right, I didn't have a car before, but..."

It's just a pity that his "but" didn't get out before he was interrupted.

"So Mr. Zhou, since you didn't have a car before, your neighbor parked in your space for a few days; I think this doesn't count as a big deal, and he also agreed to move the car soon."

"But because of some important matters, he was delayed, and as a result, you blocked his car. I want to ask you why you did this; is such behavior a bit inconsistent with our values?"

Following Ling Jie's words, the bullet comments in the live stream room started flooding the screen directly.

The core point was only one: doing this is indeed a bit excessive; even if he occupied your parking space, you shouldn't have trapped his car directly...

Huh? Zhou Yi on the other end of the phone was stunned.

I blocked his car, and while you ask me why I did it, you also defined me directly? My behavior is inconsistent with values?

"No, this host, do you not understand the situation? The parking space is mine. He didn't just park there for a few days before; he parked there for over a year! Over a year, do you know that!"

"And it wasn't some small matter that delayed him later; it was that he refused to move the car himself, and even told me, 'Whoever moves the car is a grandson!'"

Perhaps Zhou Yi's voice was a bit too loud, as Ling Jie on the other end interrupted him once again.

"Mr. Zhou, Mr. Zhou, please don't get agitated. Just listen to me first, okay? Since we are all neighbors, we have an old saying: a close neighbor is better than a distant relative. There is another saying: where one can forgive, one should forgive."

"There is no need to truly fall out and make things so absolute. Even if he was wrong, he only occupied your parking space for a period of time. Besides, you didn't even own a car before, did you?"

"As far as you are concerned, this matter hasn't caused any loss."

"Think carefully about what I said; isn't that the logic of it?"

*Hoo... * Zhou Yi forced a deep breath to suppress his rising blood pressure, then said: "This host, I feel like you don't understand the situation at all."

"He is the one who occupied my parking space, and he is the one who refuses to move his car!"

"Mr. Zhou, you should calm down first. Occupying a parking space is wrong, but what you are doing now has an element of spite. Alright, calm down first, and then we can talk."

The call hung up. Zhou Yi stared at his phone, stunned for three seconds. Where the hell did this media outlet pop out from?

Opening and closing her mouth to stand on the moral high ground, talking about "where one can forgive, one should forgive"—I'll forgive his grandmother's leg!

And calling it "spite"—so what if I am being spiteful? No, I absolutely cannot tolerate this!

Acting as if only she can livestream, Zhou Yi opened Bilibili directly and posted a sentence on his feed.

"Going live in a bit."
