Chapter 321 Historical Legacy
Datai County.
The petition reception hall was bustling with activity as 21 people gathered there.
Dong Ling stood not far away, watching.
Ever since she learned that she had a chance to be promoted to deputy section chief, that big-breasted woman had been handling things very well. At this moment, standing in front of a group of people, she was shouting to comfort them.
"I am aware of your requests, and I have addressed them before. Therefore, I will again carefully record your requests and then forward them to the leadership! However, you must remain quiet, do not cause any disturbance, and especially do not make a scene!"
The scene is still chaotic!
Lu Jun stood beside me, his face grim: "This group is making a scene even more loudly than before."
"There's someone behind this. It's just a petition issue that was never going to be resolved anyway. The purpose of this visit isn't to petition, it's to cause trouble."
"What can we do? We can't go on like this every day, can we?"
"Evil people need to be dealt with by other evil people; leave it to me."
Half an hour later, a person covered in rashes appeared in the lobby.
"infectious disease!"
Someone shouted, and the bustling reception hall fell silent instantly as everyone focused on the person covered in rashes.
Soon, the troublemakers gradually disappeared.
At the entrance of the Petition Bureau.
A group of people appears quickly and disperses quickly.
Leaving a certain alley.
"Brother, is it okay for us to make such a scene?"
"Anyway, it's the government that owes us. As long as our problems aren't resolved, it's legal for us to cause trouble."
Suddenly, a minivan stopped in front of the two of them.
The door opened, and three or four people got out.
"Get in the car."
Who are you?
Xiao Qi immediately slapped him. They were all honest, simple people, and anyone would be afraid of this kind of problem.
After being beaten, the two became very obedient.
"What's your name?"
"Wang Hao".
"Wang Qiang."
Xiaoqi checked the information on her phone and found the two people.
"Four years ago, the city-level rainwater and sewage separation project caused your house to crack and the foundation to subside. Your demands were for 150,000 yuan in compensation and for the house to be repaired to its perfect condition. There were 21 people in the same group who were affected at the same time, including you."
Wang Hao nodded: "Yes."
"You've already repaired the house yourselves, right?"
"Yes, what else can we do? People live there."
"According to the municipal government's approval document, the construction procedures were in accordance with regulations, and the verification documents were also qualified. The house later cracked because of the heavy rain, which is related to the house's age and disrepair, right?"
"I don't care. So many of our pipes have cracked. It can't all be because they've been neglected for years. What a coincidence that the sewer pipes all cracked after the repairs were done."
"How much bribe money was received for this petition?"
Xiao Qi suddenly asked.
"What? I don't understand."
Xiao Qi, holding his phone, said to the group, "You brothers are tight-lipped, but the others aren't so loyal. If you don't tell the truth, the others will get the benefits, but you won't."
"Those people at the petition office have used this trick too many times."
"This time it's different. You don't believe me? Try making a call."
Wang Hao refused to believe it and made a phone call, but no one answered. He made another call, but still no one answered. Finally, he sent a WeChat message, and someone replied.
The truth has been revealed.
Holding his phone, Wang Hao was speechless.
"Your group has committed a crime by taking money to file petitions. Now I'm giving you a chance to discuss and resolve your compensation issue in one go. What do you say?"
"15, nothing much to say."
Xiao Qi kicked him: "The data shows that every time you appeal to higher authorities, you receive around 2000 yuan in compensation. Over the years, that's quite a sum. If you want to resolve this, let's talk it over properly."
"We spent over 2 yuan to renovate the house."
"You're still thinking about recouping your investment? How much can repairing a house cost? Do you have an invoice? Is the price fair? Can it withstand scrutiny? Do you think government money is so easy to swindle?"
Wang Qiang was terrified of being kicked around. Whether it was out of temporary forbearance or some other reason, he said, "As long as you give me money, I won't petition anymore."
On the other end.
He was holding his phone; the WeChat message he had just edited was his reply.
"I guarantee you'll get 1 more money than others, but if word gets out about what happened today, no matter who says it, you won't get a single penny, and they won't lose a single penny."
The person in front of the glasses nodded obediently.
Unity often crumbles from within.
Datai County, XX Municipal Company.
We brought Xiaoqi and a group of people here. This is the company that did the construction four years ago; they're considered a local small Brahman.
A Maybach and a minivan drove straight into the yard.
Anyone with eyes could see what was going on and immediately called their supervisor.
"Hello, who are you all?"
Xiao Qi smiled and said, "Hello, I'm looking for Manager Lu Feng."
Lu Feng was the project manager for the project at the time.
"He's not here today. If you need anything, I'll call him, and you can come another day."
"If Lu Feng isn't here, we'll look for your boss, Lu Xinshuang. If Lu Xinshuang isn't here either, we'll go to the Municipal Development and Reform Commission to find Lu Zhenguo."
Lu Xinshuang is the boss, Lu Zhenguo is the director of the Municipal Development and Reform Commission, and the foundation upon which the Lu family built their fortune.
That one sentence hit the nail on the head.
If I were a passerby, I would call the police if Xiaoqi said that.
But I drove my Maybach here.
The other party was very quick-witted and immediately invited us to the reception room for tea with a smile.
"Please wait a moment, I'll call the boss."
Less than ten minutes.
A man in a suit and tie, in his forties, walked in.
Despite her neat and tidy appearance, she frequently visits construction sites, making her easily recognizable.
"Hello, I'm Lu Feng. What can I do for you all?"
"Let's discuss the municipal-level sewage treatment project from four years ago."
Lu Feng's expression changed: "Sorry, there's nothing to say about this."
"I already said this when I first arrived: if you don't talk, I'll go to Lu Xinshuang; if Lu Xinshuang doesn't talk, I'll go to the Municipal Development and Reform Commission to talk to Lu Zhenguo."
"What arrogance!"
Lu Feng didn't say anything. A woman with her hair up entered the room. Even before she arrived, the scent of perfume wafted over, giving off a high-end feel without being overpowering. This woman was also wearing a suit. Coincidentally, the watch on her wrist was the same brand as mine. Hers was worth 90 yuan, while mine was worth 220 million yuan.
"This is our boss, Mr. Lu."
Lu Xinshuang gave us a rude once-over: "I've already called the police."
I glanced at my watch and said, "Then we only have 30 minutes to talk business."
When they saw the watch on my wrist,
Lu Xinshuang had already frowned.
Only those who have bought this watch know the true extent of our strength.
"You haven't even introduced yourself yet, and you're already acting so aggressively. Isn't that a bit inappropriate?"
"Sorry, it's a habit. My surname is Shen, I'm from the Southern Province, we're in the same industry."
"Oh? Since you're in the same industry, you shouldn't be picking on me."
"My distant cousins, the Wang brothers, you know about the cracks in their house, right?"
"The warranty period has expired, and the government's inspection found no problems with our construction."
