Chapter 97: Yesterday, he was the one being difficult! (Seeking monthly votes)

At the Guangming District Tax Bureau reporting center, the clerk Xiao Chen was reviewing reported information with his colleagues.

In fact, in this day and age, due to the development of the internet, there are many ways to report tax issues.

One can come directly to the reporting center to report, call, write a letter, report online, etc.; likewise, there is real-name reporting and anonymous reporting.

The state naturally encourages real-name reporting, but relatively speaking, many people prefer anonymous reporting.

Just then, Xiao Chen heard some movement, looked up, and saw a young man walking in.

"Hello, may I ask what you need?"

The young man who entered was naturally Zhou Yi; he did not come to report directly, but rather to supplement some materials according to what Lawyer Fang had said.

For example, the name of the reported party—which is the company name of their residential property management—the address, and most importantly, the evidence of illegal facts!

The evidence of illegal facts that Zhou Yi had in his hand that could prove the case were the six receipts from Liu Nainai, as well as the three receipts and one invoice in the hands of Old Man Qi.

How should one put it? These elderly people all seem to have the habit of organizing things; Old Man Qi is the same, and these little scraps of paper from several years ago were each preserved very well.

"Hello, I would like to ask, if I want to report someone—oh, no, a company—for tax evasion, how do I go about it?" Zhou Yi asked.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Chen immediately smiled: "Reporting a company for tax evasion? Please sit down first, and then you can fill this out."

Nowadays, most people are more keen on reporting online, and very few people run here to report.

After all, compared to making a trip like this, it seems simpler to just write something online at home.

Zhou Yi took it and looked it over; it was roughly some information and data about the reported party.

"By the way, how do you intend to report, real-name reporting or anonymous reporting?" Xiao Chen asked again.

While filling it out, Zhou Yi said: "Is there any difference?"

"Of course there is a difference; by comparison, real-name reporting carries more weight."

"Moreover, for a real-name reporter, if the Tax Department verifies later that the reported party indeed has committed tax evasion, they will also give the reporter a certain degree of reward based on the amount of tax collected and deposited into the treasury..."

Ah? Upon hearing this, a look of joy suddenly appeared on Zhou Yi's face; he had made up his mind to come this time, and after all, without a system task, it could be said that he was relying entirely on himself.

But he didn't expect there to be a reward?

A pleasant surprise...

He hurriedly took out his ID card: "Comrade, I choose real-name reporting!"

The name of the Yuefu Small Residential District property management company should be Jingzhou Hengtian Property Co., Ltd. Yuefu Branch.

It is an old tradition; this developer in Jingzhou City has several residential districts, all of which are managed by its own property management company.

Xiao Chen began to carefully examine the evidence brought, asking as he looked: "So, actually, you discovered that the other party wouldn't give you an invoice after you paid the property fee, right? And then you went to ask the old residents in the residential district and found that the property management never gives invoices."

"Yes, comrade, I pay the property fee, and they don't mention a word about the invoice; then there are my two neighbors, they are both old residents of the residential district."

"One of them has moved in since the residential district was built; those six receipts are hers, and in six years, the property management has never issued her a single invoice."

"There is another one who once asked the property management for an invoice three years ago, but the property management delayed it in every possible way. In the end, there was really no other way, and it took over three months before they gave it to him."

"So I think there is a problem here."

Xiao Chen was noncommittal, only saying: "Alright, I have seen your evidence and have a general understanding, but we still have to wait for us to conduct an investigation, because there is another possibility."

"That is, your residential district property management didn't issue an invoice, but they did declare the full amount, so you have to go back first and wait for news."

"That's no problem, comrade. I'm actually quite free; I'm here for any investigation that requires my cooperation."

The reporting was completed; in reality, it didn't seem to take much time, but this is the true situation.

He didn't know how long the Tax Department would need to investigate, but according to normal circumstances, this time shouldn't be short, which is also normal. So, what needs to be done next is to have Lawyer Fang file a lawsuit.

In fact, the Tax Department has to screen all these materials for reporting; it's impossible for them to file a case just because you hand over anything, as everyone knows that's impossible.

In short, for a report to reach the end, it has to go through many complex procedures in between.

Therefore, after Zhou Yi finished reporting and received the receipt, he stopped worrying about it and headed straight back to the residential district.

As expected, he was stopped at the entrance of the residential district again.

And today, what stopped him wasn't a security guard, but the access control barrier; these things are replaced very quickly.

In the past, when he drove into the residential district, the access control showed it was a fixed vehicle for the residential district, but today it had changed to a temporary vehicle.

It was obvious that the property management had directly cleared his car from the backend, so it couldn't be automatically identified.

After honking the horn a few times, the security guard in the guard booth finally walked out.

"External vehicles are prohibited from entering the residential district!" the security guard shouted, looking at Zhou Yi.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yi took out a sports camera and placed it on his chest, turned it on, and then smiled: "Ah, I am from this residential district. I have a parking space in the residential district; I could still enter yesterday, I don't know what's going on today."

The security guard shook his head upon hearing this: "You have a parking space in the residential district? But your license plate number is not in this system. Why don't you go to the property management to check, but you can't come in right now."

"By the way, please move aside first, don't block the cars behind you."

There were indeed cars behind starting to honk; this residential district has four gates, but on weekdays, everyone uses this east gate more often because there is a main street of Guangming District outside, making travel very convenient.

"You take a look at this first; this is the contract for my purchase of two parking spaces. Although I don't know why I'm not allowed in now, I think you should at least recognize this contract."

As he spoke, Zhou Yi took out the parking space sales contract from in front of the passenger seat.

The security guard was stunned; this person actually carried a contract in the car?

But he still said: "This doesn't prove anything; your license plate number is not in our backend..."

Before he could finish speaking, he saw Zhou Yi, who had just been smiling, suddenly interrupt him: "Then may I ask what you mean? A contract for buying a parking space can't even prove that I have a parking space?"

"Fine, then you go ahead and block it."

After saying that, Zhou Yi got out of the car directly and stood to the side, ignoring the cars that were getting more and more backed up behind him, and even more ignoring those piercing honking sounds.

The security guard said a bit anxiously: "What are you doing? Didn't you hear me tell you to move the car? I told you to go ask the property management yourself. You're dressed so well, why are you so lacking in quality?"

Zhou Yi still held the contract and said: "I spent real money to buy the parking space. Everything was fine when I went out, but now I can't go back, and you say this and that, and then you tell me to go check it myself?"

"No, I just want to ask one thing: on what grounds?"

Because the car was blocking the entrance of the residential district and he was arguing with the security guard, quite a few owners entering and leaving the residential district stopped to watch, and some even pointed at them.

The security guard was speechless for a moment, and at this time, the driver behind had already rushed out of the car in a hurry and charged over, cursing: "Who the hell is this, blocking the entrance and not letting people in? Are you sick or what!"

"Hurry up, I have things to do, you... eh, Mr. Zhou, what a coincidence!"

Zhou Yi turned his head upon hearing this and saw that it was none other than the tattooed tough guy, Song Xiaofei.

Last time in the group chat, he had inexplicably jumped out to bash that Xia Shuqin, and what he said was exactly what Zhou Yi himself had wanted to say; he had felt it was strange at the time.

Now he felt even more awkward; was this guy being so polite now?

Song Xiaofei, however, didn't care about that; in his eyes, Zhou Yi was the devil among devils!

It could be said that only those who had truly experienced it would know what kind of experience it was to have someone with money and time specifically looking for trouble with you.

Especially when all of the other party's actions were legal...

That feeling from that day, like being trapped in a net, was something Song Xiaofei never wanted to experience again in his life.

As it happened, that day in the group chat, Song Xiaofei had recognized at a glance from the Photo that it was Zhou Yi's parking space.

Because in the entire Small Residential District, only that parking space had a ring of parking bollards around it...

Therefore, he had started berating them directly, and Brother Fei wanted to clarify one thing: this was absolutely not because of what Zhou Yi had done before; he just simply couldn't stand that woman...

He hadn't expected to run into Zhou Yi again today, and Song Xiaofei let out a sigh of relief; he had almost started cursing just now.

"Oh, it's you."

"Eh, yes, yes, yes, Mr. Zhou, what's wrong? Why can't you get in?" Song Xiaofei asked with a hurried smile.

Zhou Yi pointed to the security guard in front and said, "They said my license plate number is not in the system right now, so it can't be automatically identified, and I can't get in."

"What is wrong with you? Mr. Zhou's car can't get in? Mr. Zhou has two parking spaces in this Small Residential District, why can't he get in? Open the gate quickly; he has to get in to go to Property Management anyway!"

The surrounding residents who were pointing and discussing stopped talking when they heard this; it seemed that was indeed the case, and this matter should be handled by you at Property Management; he should have parking spaces.

Facing Song Xiaofei's barrage of criticism, the security guard felt a bit intimidated, but still said, "How can you be sure he has two parking spaces? Can you prove it?"

Song Xiaofei roared upon hearing this: "You want me to prove it? My car has been parked in Mr. Zhou's parking space for over a year; you're asking me how I can prove it?"

Huh? This... the security guard was momentarily stunned; there was a lot of implication in those words.

As more and more people gathered, many residents who had gotten to know Zhou Yi because of the Fire Department incident started speaking up for him.

"Just let him in. Yesterday there was a fire inside, and that barrier arm was broken by that young man!"

"Exactly, if you still don't let him in, be careful that he breaks your barrier arm again..."

Listening to the men and women, old and young, Zhou Yi couldn't help but want to look up at the sky; those who knew would understand they were speaking up for him, but those who didn't might think they were being sarcastic...

Just then, another young woman got out of a car behind and walked over, saying, "I can also prove it; I've been parking in the other space for over a year..."

He took a look, well, Miss Xiao Xu had come too.

The security guard panicked; mainly because he didn't know what was going on—a tattooed tough guy was shouting that he had been parking in the other party's space for over a year, and another young woman was saying the same thing.

Proving the other party had parking spaces in this way?

To be honest, it was the security guard's first time seeing this, so he quickly said, "I'll call my supervisor and ask..."

After making a call nearby and asking for a while, he finally returned, saying it was a mistake by the staff who deleted the license plate number, and he was truly sorry.

To think there's such a thing as an accidental deletion... it's as absurd as the "temporary worker" excuse or a broken Camera.

Zhou Yi drove directly into the underground garage, and just as he finished parking, he saw a small Mercedes-Benz appear in front of him.

The door opened, and the youthful and beautiful Miss Xiao Xu got out, looked at Zhou Yi, and said with a full face of smiles, "Big Brother, I want to ask you a question, I don't know if it's appropriate."

Zhou Yi was a bit puzzled, but he also got out and said, "What question? Just ask."

Miss Xiao Xu smiled and said, "Big Brother, I just want to know, how long can your phone call last at once?"

How long can my phone call last at once? Why ask this... wait!

Damn it, I finally remembered that thing I forgot yesterday!

"I went to eat yesterday and just forgot about you; I was wondering why I felt like I had something to do today," Zhou Yi realized with a start.

Miss Xiao Xu's face was even more bewildered; you stood me up for a whole day, and now you suddenly realize you forgot, and now you remember?

"Big Brother, don't you think your behavior is a bit, a bit excessive?"

Hmm... Zhou Yi pondered for a moment and nodded, "Now that you mention it, it does feel a bit excessive, but don't worry, I won't be apologizing or anything, rest assured."

"Ah?" You're not even apologizing for this?

"If an apology were useful, then what would be the point of gifts? Isn't that what you said?"

Miss Xiao Xu: "..." I'm leaving now, thanks.

Huh, this young woman is a bit strange.

Back home, he started making the video.

This was Zhou Yi's plan; ever since Ling Jie was caught and withdrew from the internet, the audience had grown larger and larger, and there were more and more people urging him to update.

Yuan Jie even called him every so often to ask if he still wanted to buy a house, if he still wanted to get married; everything costs money, how could he earn money if he didn't update like this!

That said, his previous few videos had gained popularity following the recent buzz around Ling Jie, and the revenue they provided seemed quite good.

As it happened, he now had suitable material, and Zhou Yi prepared to make it into a series.

The title would be "My Affairs with Property Management".

After browsing through all the various materials on his computer, Zhou Yi decided to start from that Elevator Card.

"Hello everyone, audience members. This time, I plan to make a series of videos about the affairs between me and Property Management. After the neighbor's noise disturbance and the parking space occupation, as you have all seen, the Small Residential District's Property Management indeed has some issues with inaction."

"It would be one thing if the service quality couldn't keep up, but I didn't expect that the problems with this Property Management weren't just about service quality..."

"Just yesterday, a fire broke out in the Small Residential District, but what was unexpected was that the Fire Engine wanted to enter, but was actually blocked at the gate by the security guard..."

"Next, we have invited Lawyer Fang again to chat with us about how to legally defend our rights. Note, everything is premised on being legal!"

Updated late, sorry, sorry.
