Chapter 1129: The Government Has Our Back!

Around ten o'clock on Wednesday morning, the property owners of Jinyu Tianxia received notification and arrived at the sales office.

As the owners' representative, Lao Wang was surrounded by the many owners in the center.

"Lao Wang, is this news about Hongcheng acquiring Shunteng reliable?"

"I checked Hongcheng's background online; it is a listed company with its headquarters in Qiongjin, has state-owned enterprise backing, and possesses strong capabilities—it is definitely much stronger than Shunteng Development Company," Lao Wang said confidently.

"Is it true that Jinyu Tianxia will still build the phase two project?" someone else asked.

"I'm not sure either. The Government leaders will explain the relevant situation to us in a moment; let's listen to what they have to say!"

No sooner had Lao Wang finished speaking,

than several sedans pulled up at the entrance of the sales office.

Tang Ye stepped out from the back seat of a sedan and walked into the sales office lobby side-by-side with a middle-aged man.

Following behind them was a group of people, including Government personnel and corporate executives.

Everyone had a relaxed and pleasant smile on their face.

The nervous mood of the owners was also influenced, improving slightly.

Tang Ye walked to the center of the platform that had been set up beforehand and took the microphone from a staff member.

"Dear owners, we meet again.

Surely some of you don't remember me.

I will introduce myself to everyone once more.

My name is Tang Ye, and I am the County Magistrate of the Yechuan County People's Government.

A few days ago, I promised the owners' representative, Lao Wang, that regarding the Jinyu Tianxia project, the Government would certainly resolve the problems for everyone.

Otherwise, I would take off my hat as County Magistrate.

Fortunately, I did not fail the mission.

After this period of effort, we have finally found a new developer—Hongcheng Group.

Moving forward, this developer will handle the issues you are most concerned about, treating every question you have raised according to national standards, ensuring the houses reach delivery standards, and then proceeding with the handover.

Next, I would like to invite Mr. Cao Xiang, General Manager of the Xiyang Branch of Hongcheng Group, to say a few words to everyone.

Please give him a round of applause."

Cao Xiang took the microphone from Tang Ye and walked to the front of the crowd.

"Dear owners, I am a representative of Hongcheng Group.

In order to secure this project, our company has invested a great deal of heart and effort.

The Government is very concerned about Jinyu Tianxia, so we will spare no cost to do a good job with our services.

Furthermore, we will push for the investment and construction of the phase two project.

Therefore, we care about the reputation of the phase one project; only by building a beautiful and happy home for everyone and creating an industry benchmark can we attract clients for the phase two project.

Moreover, once the phase two project is successful, it will also benefit phase one. Everyone not only needs a good living environment but also hopes that their assets will appreciate in value.

Moving forward, you are welcome to supervise us at any time and offer more suggestions."

Cao Xiang's voice trailed off.

Thunderous applause erupted in the venue.

Tang Ye thought to himself that this Cao Xiang was quite articulate.

Tang Ye took the microphone back from Cao Xiang,

"Everyone is reassured now, right!

By the way, Manager Cao just forgot a very important point.

Because the houses had quality issues, they required rectification and repairs, and therefore were not delivered within the time stipulated in the contract.

Consequently, the liquidated damages for the delayed delivery will also be paid to everyone as promised.

You all have two options: the first is in the form of property fee credits, and the second is cash."

No sooner had Tang Ye finished speaking,

than an owner below shouted excitedly, "County Magistrate Tang, we listen to you."

"Rest assured, Jinyu Tianxia is our own home; we will definitely cooperate well with the new developer from here on out."

Seeing the excitement and joy on everyone's faces, Tang Ye felt deeply moved.

To put it bluntly, these owners appeared very aggressive and maintained hostility toward the developer and the Government.

But in the final analysis, they were just trying to hide their inner vulnerability.

They had placed the efforts of several generations into these concrete and cement pigeonholes,

and when they encountered unscrupulous developers, they had no choice but to unite to defend their rights, using this seemingly radical method to attract outside attention.

They were, without a doubt, a vulnerable group.

Tian Xiaomeng instructed the cameraman to record this important moment at the scene.

She already had the footage for the news report in her mind.

This news could be edited together with the previous news about the incident to create a powerful impact.

Recently, the station had been emphasizing that the program team must pay attention to political orientation when producing content, and not blindly pursue ratings while forgetting to maintain the Government's image; they needed to increase the proportion of positive publicity.

The owners' representative, Lao Wang, prepared to leave.

Tian Xiaomeng had noticed him long ago, and holding the microphone, she walked toward him.

"Mr. Wang, hello, we meet again. May I interview you?"

Lao Wang glanced at the camera; was he going to be on TV again?

He had been on TV last time, too.

However, it was only a few seconds of footage.

He hurriedly controlled his facial expression, "Ye, yes, I can!"

Tian Xiaomeng saw that he was a bit nervous and said with a smile, "The camera isn't on yet. We'll just ask a few simple questions; you can answer however you like, and we'll edit it later."

Mr. Wang smiled and said, "Alright, go ahead and ask!"

Tian Xiaomeng said softly, "May I ask if you are satisfied with the Government's handling of this matter?"

Mr. Wang said with high spirits, "Very satisfied. After learning that the original developer's boss had been arrested, we were actually very uneasy. We were afraid we wouldn't get our houses. The Government stepped forward at a critical moment to help us cover the bottom and saved us from a desperate situation."

Tian Xiaomeng paused and continued to ask, "Do you have any other demands for the Government and the developer?"

Mr. Wang was silent for a few seconds, then said with a serious expression, "Our demands for the Government and the developer are not high; we only hope to get our houses as soon as possible. We have no other requests. I want to especially thank County Magistrate Tang; he keeps his word and is a good cadre who truly does things for the common people."

Tian Xiaomeng nodded and said, "Thank you for accepting the interview. If you have any other needs, you can contact me at any time. News Girl will continue to follow up on this."

After Mr. Wang left, Tian Xiaomeng prepared to interview Tang Ye.

She discovered that the protagonist was already no longer at the scene.

Tian Xiaomeng hurriedly dialed the phone, "County Magistrate Tang, this is Tian Xiaomeng. I would like to interview you separately."

Tang Ye said with a smile, "I have to rush to the county for a meeting and cannot accept your interview. Why don't you interview the new developer? He needs your television station's publicity more. Additionally, Hongcheng Group will have an advertising plan coming up; seize the opportunity well."

Tian Xiaomeng said with some disappointment, "Without your interview footage, the news won't be complete. However, knowing you are a very busy person, I won't force you."

Tang Ye said, "We will have other opportunities to meet. Next time, I will definitely make time to accept your exclusive interview."

After hanging up Tang Ye's call, Tian Xiaomeng subsequently interviewed the developer.

After returning to the television station, she raced against time to edit the news.

The Producer of the program team was very satisfied after seeing the news!

They requested that this news segment be placed as the first item on the program.
