Chapter 14: Chapter 14 Happy Owners
Liang Yu knew that Wang Yong was telling the truth; he still had a trump card he wasn't planning to use yet, and for now, just annoying them was enough. However, in the group chat, he said:
Building 6, 1011 Liang Yu: "@Property Manager Wang Yong, is this how you handle things? You've truly opened my eyes."
"It's not impossible for me to forgive her."
"Have her send random red packets in the group chat, with a total amount of 10,000. Consider this compensation for all of us owners."
"This is my only demand. If Manager Wang doesn't agree or has anything else to say, then there's no need to discuss it further."
As soon as these words appeared, many owners behind their screens were amused. This money was for them; everyone could grab red packets. As for whether they could grab any, and how much, that depended on their own skill.
Liang Yu's move led many owners to feel more favorably towards him, and at the same time, it blocked Li Dama's retreat.
After all, the beneficiaries were so many people; this compensation wasn't solely for Liang Yu. It could be said that Liang Yu had fought for the collective owners.
Even though the other owners weren't speaking at this time, they were all silently observing the chat.
Wang Yong also knew about this. He had originally planned to pay a small sum to settle the matter, but he didn't expect Liang Yu to pull such a move. Helpless, he could only call Li Caihua again.
Meanwhile, at home, Li Caihua was cursing Liang Yu's ancestors after seeing his demand. Unexpectedly, her phone rang. Seeing it was a call from Wang Yong, she answered.
Before Wang Yong could say anything, she immediately started crying and complaining, which left Wang Yong somewhat speechless.
Wang Yong: "Li Caihua, I don't care what your reasons are, but the fact that you caused this incident is your problem. Most importantly, an owner took a screenshot and posted it in the main group chat."
"I am now ordering you to resolve this matter according to the owner's demands immediately. Otherwise, if he really calls the police, this matter won't be much, but if other things are investigated, I won't be able to protect you."
"You figure it out yourself; don't force me to handle it personally."
After speaking, an angry Wang Yong hung up the call with Li Caihua and rushed to the main group chat to appease the owners.
Because Li Caihua had her phone on speaker when she answered, her husband and son both heard Wang Yong's words.
Wu Chusheng was so angry that he directly smashed the water cup in his hand. The four younger brothers who had followed him all said they would go deal with Liang Yu.
Ultimately, Li Caihua stopped them.
"Son, we'll take the loss on this one. There will be plenty of time in the future for us to slowly settle the score with him."
"Here's the key to 1702. Arrange for them to stay there first. The people inside went abroad and haven't returned yet."
After the four younger brothers took the key and went to the 17th floor, Li Dama asked Wu Chusheng.
"Son, why did you bring them back? Including them, that's eight people in total. Our food probably won't last more than a few days."
Wu Chusheng patted his chest, indicating it was no problem.
"Mom, don't worry. Tomorrow, a few of us will go out to find food. You don't know what it's like out there now."
"The water level in the city is already one and a half meters deep. All the livestock and animals have floated away with the water, and so have people."
"And those drowned people floating on the water, there are so many of them..."
"Ugh!"
Li Caihua interrupted him.
"Stop talking."
It was then that Wu Chusheng finally revealed why he brought people back.
"Sigh, looking at the current situation, it's probably going to be chaotic for a while. At least before the officials take over, Mom, how do you expect me to go out and find food without them?"
At this point, Li Caihua hardened her heart.
"Are your few younger brothers reliable? Let's find a time to deal with that little beast."
"Anyway, so many people have already died; one more won't make a difference."
Wu Chusheng didn't immediately agree to this, only saying he needed to think about it.
If Li Caihua had asked him to cripple Liang Yu's arms or legs, he would have gone to find Liang Yu without a second thought.
But this time, Li Caihua's request required careful consideration. After all, killing someone was a difficult hurdle for both him and his younger brothers to cross right now.
Time quickly passed, and it was one o'clock in the afternoon. The dark clouds in the sky began to gather again, and the sky, just like last time, looked as if night had fallen. The continuous lightning and thunder reminded them of the impending downpour.
Before the heavy rain arrived, an inflatable pool full of supplies and three people finally returned to the community.
As soon as they returned to the second-floor balcony, the three of them, without resting, gasped for breath and quickly moved all the supplies onto the walkway. Finally, the three of them took everything to room 402.
At this moment, someone spoke in the main group chat.
901 Chen Qing: "I just saw someone bringing food back when I was looking at the clouds outside the window. I'll pay double the price; please spare some for me, brother."
Seeing that someone mentioned food being brought back, and with someone taking the lead, others also clamored about insufficient supplies and wanting to buy some.
But after waiting for a long time, no one responded.
They didn't know that the three people in Ye Yuan's room had also seen the message in the group chat and immediately felt uneasy.
This time, they had gone out with four people but lost one, only managing to bring back this much food. Ye Yuan, Xu Wenhua, and Chen Bailun weren't foolish; it was impossible for them to sell all of it.
Chen Bailun: "Let's divide the items into four portions and take one portion to his family."
Ye Yuan and Xu Wenhua remained silent, indicating neither agreement nor denial of Chen Bailun's point of view.
After a long stalemate, Ye Yuan finally spoke.
Ye Yuan: "Alright, this was originally exchanged for his life, and it was agreed at the time that it would go to his family."
"However, I have one condition: we must go at night, and we cannot let them know who sent it."
"Look at the situation in the group chat; if they find out, how much of this food will we be able to keep?"
The other two couldn't help but nod upon hearing Ye Yuan's words.
They also understood clearly, and the heavy rain that had started again made them feel somewhat disappointed.
Many owners in the group chat and building asked for a long time but never found the person who brought back the food, and the matter was left unresolved.
Time flew by, and it was five o'clock in the afternoon. At this time, Li Caihua @ everyone in the main group chat.
Property Li Caihua: "Good afternoon, everyone. On behalf of the property management, I'd like to give everyone a small welfare."
Immediately after, red packets with an amount of 200 were continuously sent in the group chat.
At this moment, as soon as Li Caihua finished sending one, her husband, who was next to her, was about to grab it when it had already been claimed by the owners.
Thus, Li Caihua continuously sent random red packets, while her husband continuously tried to grab them. Even after this round of red packet rain, he didn't manage to grab much.
The owners in the group, however, were happy. Those with fast hands, good internet speed, and good devices were all posting screenshots. Some only grabbed one but got over 150.
Some grabbed more than ten, adding up to several hundred. And some idle owners, bored, even registered each one.
