Chapter 42: Chapter 40 We Have No Surrender Halfway Here



Everyone watched as Mr. Hou brought Mr. Ye over to the property management side, and they immediately began.

"Alright, I\'ll start then. Our property management initially signed an early-stage property service contract with the developer. Since we didn\'t have a residents\' committee for a long time, a lot of matters were actually managed by the property management on a proxy basis, and we have contracts for that."

"Now that our community finally has a residents\' committee, according to the regulations, we need to transfer all public proceeds and financial records to the residents\' committee. We\'ve been preparing for this since everything, especially the accounts, is very complicated."

"However, that\'s not a problem. Today we can start..."

Mr. Hou spoke with such sincerity; it seemed as though he was the most law-abiding person there.

Finally, after Mr. Hou had finished speaking, Mr. Ye next to him spoke up, "None of you know me, but that doesn\'t matter. You\'ll all get to know me with time."

"Some of our neighbors have had conflicts with the property management, which is normal, very normal. Even a couple can have arguments, right? Not to mention that our property management has served for so long."

"Of course, the property company has indeed had some shortcomings in their work, which I have investigated."

"So, the company\'s board of directors has specifically entrusted me to come and say this to everyone: as of today, Mr. Hou will no longer serve as the general manager of the property management company. Before a new general manager is chosen, I will lead the property management company in serving everyone."

After speaking, Mr. Ye looked around at everyone and then continued:

"I know you all have feelings about Mr. Hou, but he truly didn\'t have it easy..."

However, his words were interrupted.

"We don\'t have any hard feelings, ah, none at all!"

Who was this? Mr. Ye immediately looked over and saw it was a young man sitting at the front.

"Oh, Director Tang, I\'ve heard a lot about you. Your words just now were quite emotional, I have to say. I didn\'t come here today to argue. We don\'t have any personal animosity, right? It\'s just that the property management has, after all, served for such a long time. Of course, if the owners\' meeting wants to dismiss us, we have no objections!"

Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what to say, as it seemed like the property management had given in too quickly.

Before, they wouldn\'t give anything, and now they were even prepared to talk about dismissal.

Everyone looked at Tang Fangjing but found that the Director said nothing, just taking out his phone to check it before speaking: "Well, in that case, let\'s get on with it quickly. Hand over the community\'s financial records of the past years to the residents\' committee first. Sister Zhao, take your colleagues and go receive them now."

"And do it a little quickly, I have other matters to attend to."

So urgent?

Although he didn\'t know why the other party was in such a hurry, Mr. Hou still spoke up: "That\'s no problem. Old Dan, take the committee members to transfer the financial records."

Things were moving fast. Normally, such matters would be negotiated first and then gradually transferred. But it seemed like little Tang wanted to take control right away.

Even though he wasn\'t sure what was happening, Secretary Tian spoke: "If we\'re going to transfer today, then the community should be involved too. I\'ll have someone follow along."

It was a form of supervision to prevent any mess.

After speaking, Secretary Tian was about to take a sip of water, but then his phone rang.

"Hello, yes, this is me. What? Ah... I\'m here, at the property management meeting room. Okay, I\'ll come out right away."

He hung up the phone and forcibly calmed himself down before saying, "I\'ve got something to deal with. You all talk amongst yourselves for a while."

The others, not knowing the situation, all stood up to see off Secretary Tian.

Mr. Hou was now completely relaxed. He felt that after conceding so much, how could the other party still be dissatisfied?

It wasn\'t quite about surrendering and losing half, President Hou and President Ye had a long talk, and he felt that this person named Tang was still after money, many established by the property management committees were like that.

The public profits are especially lucrative, so they previously didn\'t agree because the benefits offered by their property management weren\'t appealing enough.

They have quite the appetite!

Since that\'s the case, fine, our property management will back out; that should satisfy you, right? Isn\'t this what you wanted? We\'ll agree outright.

Although the reaction from the other party was strange, Tang Fangjing had always been talking about "being in a hurry," so it didn\'t seem like anything was off.

After working for so many years, it was time to enjoy life. That college student had always been hesitant, but now that he had time, he was certain… he\'d win her over…

Of course, President Hou didn\'t know that Secretary Tian was just about to enter the property management office with the comrades from the economic investigation unit.

"Is that Ye Ping\'an there too? How convenient, both caught together," Old Fang said with a chuckle.

Although Secretary Tian was also smiling, his eyes were still dazed. It was common for the police to make arrests in the community with the support from the local comrades.

It just hadn\'t occurred to him that President Hou would run into trouble!

Wait, Tang Fangjing had been hurrying them to submit the ledger for public profits earlier; did he somehow know beforehand that President Hou was going to get into trouble?

Not understanding, Secretary Tian planned to ask later. This Tang Fangjing really was a treasure.

President Hou\'s relaxed mood didn\'t last long, because Director Tang had another question.

"So my question is very simple, what about the past public profits, over the last decade or so? The maintenance fund is almost depleted, where is the money?"

President Hou looked at President Ye before responding, "I can answer that. Our public profits are actually not substantial. Most times, they can\'t even cover the regular maintenance, meaning it\'s a negative profit... "

While speaking, President Hou earnestly looked at Tang Fangjing, "Director Tang, I know you have issues with me. But we, the property management, merely act as custodians of the public profits, and don\'t have the right to meddle, right...?"

"Enough, President Hou, no need to explain to me anymore. No matter how much you say, it\'s useless. Our property management committee has previously obtained authorization from the homeowners\' assembly to audit the public profits of the past decade. It doesn\'t matter what you say, or what I say."

President Hou felt a surge of anger rushing from his heart to his head. He had conceded so much, handing over the public profit and stepping down as general manager, all with the thought of everyone taking a step back.

"Tang Fangjing, what do you mean by that? Are you implying that I embezzled the money? Dammit, I\'m not even the general manager anymore and you still want more! What more do you want, there\'s no end to this, right? Did I burn down your ancestral grave or fuck your mother? You still want an audit?

Go ahead and audit then, I want to see how you\'re going to audit it, I want to see who can audit!"

"So this is your play, right? I think you need to check your brain, see if it\'s... "

President Hou suddenly exploded, something nobody expected; some homeowners were looking at Tang Fangjing, unsure about what he was after. The property management had already said it would withdraw, so why not just replace it with a new one?

However, no sooner had President Hou finished speaking than Tang Fangjing casually pulled out two medical certificates.

"Stop talking, I\'ve just been to the doctor a few days ago, and the diagnosis confirmed that I indeed have a mental illness, so what can I do, I\'m already in the late stages of cancer, I don\'t want to go mad..."

Gulp! President Hou stared at the two medical certificates in front of him and swallowed. These must be fake, right? Tell me these are fake?

The room was deathly silent, and the homeowners stopped talking.

Just then, the door to the conference room burst open, and several police officers filed in.

"Hou Xiangyuan, right? We are from the Economic Investigation Division of the Guangming Police Station. You are suspected of embezzlement of funds and are now summoned for criminal questioning. Let\'s go."

President Hou was stunned. They were just about to start the audit, and now even the Economic Investigation Division had arrived!

He quickly turned to President Ye. President Ye hesitated before speaking, "Uh, comrades, I am Ye Ping\'an, the vice president of Shengming Real Estate..."

"Oh, so you are Ye Ping\'an. Good. Your ID number... that\'s you, right? Alright, you are also being summoned for questioning. Here\'s your summons.

Let\'s go, no need to stand around."

President Hou was stunned again, President Ye had a vacant look in his eyes…
