Chapter 435: Refund Everyone

This Ye Lao Er is so capable that even the Village Chief coming is of no use.

Tch, all Chen Jinhai knows is how to play the Chen family's game; if it weren't for the Chen family having many people, it'd be strange for him to get elected.

Someone who hogs the toilet but doesn't defecate is just a piece of trash.

Look at Ye Cheng: he knows not only the township leaders but also the big leaders in the city, and he can make money—comparing people makes one angry.

Several people were talking without avoiding Chen Jinhai, and Chen Jinhai got so angry his face turned black.

When I was young, I was also beloved by the villagers; now how did I end up like this?

Chen Houda also came, took a look at Chen Jinhai, and also snorted in dissatisfaction.

Holy shit!

You're still not satisfied.

Chen Jinhai was a bit speechless: "Old man, I've done so much for the Chen family over the years—no merit but hard work. Now that I'm old, you all are starting to despise me one by one."

If it really doesn't work out, I'll quit being Village Chief; working more just brings no money and only gets me covered in shit.

Everyone had waited only a few minutes when they saw Ye Cheng arrive on a motorcycle.

Here he comes!

Ye Lao Er is here; now we can speak, right?

Everyone stood up, put out their cigarettes, craned their necks to look at Ye Cheng.

Ye Cheng parked the motorcycle, then Xiao Wang walked over.

Ye Cheng, everyone's been waiting for you.

Huh? Wait for me? Ye Cheng thought they had already started.

The Bureau Chief said, let you read the document.

Ye Cheng pursed his lips, damn it, Zhou Zu Hai just wants to give me some empty formalities; can't he give something practical?

Alright, let's go to the Ceremonial Hall; standing outside is all noisy and chaotic.

Ye Cheng turned around and said to Xiao Hu,

Xiao Hu, shout one line: "Assemble at the Ceremonial Hall."

Xiao Hu clasped his hands and shouted loudly,

My brother said, everyone get your ass to the Ceremonial Hall.

Holy shit!

Ye Cheng staggered, you're really an idiot.

Ye Cheng brought Xiao Wang, while another policeman followed carrying a safe.

Hearing they were going to the Ceremonial Hall, some troublemakers had already run over, turned on the lights, then moved two tables onto the Chairman's Platform and prepared a microphone.

Only a dozen or so people were involved in the case, but a crowd of over a hundred surged over, just idle folks coming to watch the fun, adults and kids laughing, treating it like a movie.

Ye Cheng led the way onto the Chairman's Platform, then two policemen followed up; the three sat down, and the villagers below found random seats to sit.

Ye Cheng, this is the situation report for this case; Bureau Chief Zhou said to let you read it to the villagers.

Ye Cheng took it and saw it was a red-headed document stamped with a big red seal.

Alright, I'll read it.

Ye Cheng cleared his throat, then took the microphone.

Folks, please quiet down!

The crowd instantly fell silent, everyone looking at Ye Cheng.

Although they weren't speaking loudly, there were still whispers.

This Ye Cheng sitting up there isn't at all nervous.

If it were me, facing so many people, I'd surely be unable to speak.

So you can't be a leader; just look at Ye Cheng—he's clearly leader material.

On the stage, Ye Cheng continued speaking,

Folks, everyone knows why we're here today; now I'll read the City Police Bureau's document for you, listen up.

Regarding the situation of the Pai Si MLM Organization. Recently, with the help of enthusiastic citizen Ye Cheng.

Suddenly seeing his own name in the text, Ye Cheng felt a bit speechless.

This is damn intentional, they had to put his name in there, afraid people wouldn't know.

But the people below don't seem interested in his name; everyone's just waiting for the money matter.

Ah, that, let's continue.

In the middle there was some meaningless nonsense; even if read, no one listened, so Ye Cheng skipped straight to the part about money.

After research, it was decided: the specific refund plan is as follows—unrecorded funds are directly returned to the purchaser; recorded funds, based on the total recovered assets, are refunded at 80%.

As soon as his words fell, the crowd below immediately became noisy.

80%? That means 800 bucks are gone.

That's if you bought one unit; if you bought ten, 8000 would be gone, 8000.

No, what does 'recorded' mean?

I don't know; the document is written in overly formal language, I can't understand it.

Down below, someone couldn't wait any longer, stood up and shouted,

What does 'recorded' mean? Can you explain it plainly?

Exactly, we don't get it; explain it more clearly.

Ye Cheng moved the microphone aside, confirmed with Xiao Wang next to him, then continued speaking.

I just asked: the unrecorded money is what you paid but hasn't been turned over to Pai Si Company; the recorded money is what you paid that has already entered Pai Si Company's accounts.

Just by thinking that, everyone somewhat understood a bit.

So who exactly is it? You read it out.

Right, if you read it out, everyone will know.

There was a list; Ye Cheng took it over, glanced at it, then began to read.

Unaccounted: Chen Jinfa, Chen Qiu feng, Liu Hui, Deng Xingwen; accounted: Chen Jinhai, Chen Jinli, Chen Houda...

Ye Cheng read out a dozen or so names; only four were unaccounted for, all those who had bought things at the Ceremonial Hall that day; the others had simply bought directly.

"Ah, great, my money isn't lost." A few excited voices rose from the crowd.

But most people still had dark faces, blaming themselves for buying too early.

Alright, the list has been read; next, everyone line up to come forward and collect your money.

Ye Cheng finished speaking, then glanced at Chen Jinhai,

"Village Chief, the municipal bureau said you need to be present when the money is distributed, so come up as well."

Chen Jinhai's face darkened; "Damn," he thought, when the document was read earlier they didn't call him up, but now that money's being handed out they summon him and even treat him as the Village Chief.

Nevertheless he also had to collect his money, so he grudgingly walked up, found a stool and sat down beside.

This position, Ye Cheng is the C-position; he has become a subordinate, which displeases him.

Meanwhile, Xiao Wang had already opened the safe, stacking bundles of cash on the table, and also set up a bill counter.

Chen Jinfa, Chen Qiu feng, Liu Hui, Deng Xingwen, you four come up first.

Chen Jinfa had been waiting below; upon hearing his name called he immediately rushed to the front.

Xiao Wang looked at him and asked,

"Are you Chen Jinfa?"

"Yes, I am, comrade police."

"You bought a total of 40,000 yuan, right?"

"Yes, comrade, I really did spend exactly 40,000 yuan."

"Alright, count the money, then look at this pledge and sign it." Xiao Wang produced a pledge.
