Chapter 145 Check-out incident

"What happened?" Chen Guilan followed in and asked.

"They say it's haunted!" Chen Xiaohong, who had just returned from Century Garden, was sweating profusely. "We're renting a room and it's hard to cancel. Now many people are clamoring to check out, saying some have actually seen ghosts!"

"Nonsense, there's no ghost!" Su Jiaojiao rubbed her eyes and sat up from the bed, "It must be a misunderstanding."

Wait, she remembered that there was indeed a house call-out incident when Century Jiayuan was first launched, and it was quite serious.

She didn't buy a house at the time, so she didn't pay much attention to it.

As for how the problem was resolved later, she was not very clear.

"It's true!" Chen Xiaohong saw that Su Jiaojiao didn't believe her and urged, "Hurry up and wash up and change your clothes. Let's go to Century Garden now. A lot of people are making a fuss there!"

When the two arrived at Century Garden, there were already a lot of people gathered at the door, clamoring to check out, saying that the community was too remote and haunted, and was not as good as they had advertised.

Liang Kun was also there, raising his arms and shouting louder than anyone else in the crowd: "Check out, check out, we want a full refund of our deposit!"

"That's right, we don't live in a haunted neighborhood."

"You must give us an explanation!"

"The deposit must be returned!"

"Did you see it?" Chen Xiaohong whispered, "I heard that at night you could hear a woman crying, otherwise they wouldn't react so strongly."

"Let me find out first." Su Jiaojiao walked up to Liang Kun and patted him: "Cousin, you don't go to work!"

"Jingjiao, you're here too." Seeing it was Su Jingjiao, Liang Kun hurriedly pulled her and led her out of the crowd. "This neighborhood is really haunted. I came here with a few other owners last night and heard it all with my own ears. Would you like to consider joining us?"

"How to join?" Su Jiaojiao asked calmly.

"They just use their free time to make trouble here every day..." Liang Kun said, lowering his voice, "They want the developer to return the deposit. If they don't, they want them to lower the house price. Anyway, they can't just let it go like this."

"What did Jiahe Group say?" Su Jiaojiao asked again.

"Assistant Wang just came out and said that the deposit is non-refundable. Not paying the down payment is equivalent to giving up. If you want to cause trouble, they will resolve it through legal means." Liang Kun scratched his head and said, "Think about it, we spent so much money. If it really is haunted, everyone else will withdraw their money, and we will be the only ones left. We won't dare to live here, don't you think?"

"I don't believe in ghosts." Su Jiaojiao knew that Liang Kun was also a hot-blooded young man who was instigated by others. She advised him, "Cousin, buying a house is a big deal. Before the matter is investigated, don't make trouble with them. Believe me, the housing prices here will go up in the future."

"My dad said the same thing. Don't worry, even if I have to check out, I'll be the last one to do so." Liang Kun wasn't stupid either. "I just got worried when I heard they said this place is haunted. You saw it too, the developer doesn't care about us at all."

As the two were talking, the closed door of the sales office opened.

A staff member posted a price list at the door of the sales office. People crowded over to look at it. Someone read out: "The first and fifth floors are 850 yuan per square meter, the second, third and fourth floors are 900 yuan per square meter, and the sixth floor with a loft is 700 yuan per square meter."

"Oh my god, the price has increased by 50 yuan per square meter!"

"It's crazy that they're raising the price at this point!"

"Exactly. The haunting hasn't been resolved yet, and they're raising the price!!"

"Everyone, please be quiet. We just received the price increase notice. You all paid deposits, so your prices are the pre-increase prices. We hope you all cherish the houses you've reserved." Wang Hua motioned for silence and cleared his throat. "Recently, there have been rumors that our community is haunted and that there are feng shui issues. We assure you that these rumors are absolutely false. We've thoroughly investigated and surveyed the site from site selection to construction, and there are absolutely no such issues. We hope everyone will consider this from a scientific perspective and not blindly follow others."

"There's clearly a ghost, and you're still saying there's no problem?" someone in the crowd complained. "Give us our money back, we won't live in a neighborhood like this."

"That's right, this place was a cemetery before, so there's no point in saying anything."

"If it's a cemetery, why did you buy it in the first place?" Wang Hua asked the man who mentioned the cemetery.

"How would I know it was really haunted?" the man shouted. "Only neighborhoods with bad feng shui are haunted. Who are you trying to fool? Return your deposit!"

Some even threw stones at the sales office: "You unscrupulous real estate developers are cheating us ordinary people out of our money. We are going to sue you!"

"Refund the deposit, refund the deposit!"

"Everyone, please be quiet. I'm going to say a few words." Su Jiaojiao stepped out of the crowd and calmly spoke to the passionate crowd. "First of all, I'm also an owner here. I've also paid a deposit. I've heard the rumors about the haunting, and like everyone else, I'm worried. But I believe our original intention is the same: to move into our new house as soon as possible and live a stable and happy life. So, right now, we need to solve problems, not create them. I hope everyone can calm down and give the developer a week to let them find out the truth and give us an explanation. What do you all say?"

As she spoke, her eyes fell on Liang Kun and she gave him a secret look. Liang Kun understood and said loudly: "Okay, then we will give them a week. If they can't solve it within a week, we will come back to refund the deposit."

"We promise everyone that we'll give you an explanation in a week. If we can't find the truth after a week, we'll discuss refunding the deposit." Wang Hua was deeply moved to see Su Jiaojiao speak up for him, and hurriedly said, "Please trust us. We are a legitimate company and will continue to build Century Jiayuan Phase II and Phase III in Jiao County. We will definitely not fool you."

"Okay, then we'll come back in a week!" Liang Kun was the first to respond, turning to the crowd and saying, "Everyone, remember, if they don't give us a satisfactory answer in a week, we'll come back to get our deposit back!"

Others look at me and I look at you.

After a while of whispering, they all said to Wang Hua, "If you can't find the reason after seven days, we will come to refund the deposit, even if you don't want to!"

After everyone had dispersed, Wang Hua walked up to Su Jiaojiao and said gratefully, "Thank you, Su. Without you, this situation would have been difficult to handle today."

The girls that leaders like are just different.

A few words calmed the situation.

"Assistant Wang, you're too polite!" Su Jiaojiao said calmly, "They still believe in Jiahe Group. They're just a little emotional. It won't really get out of control. I just said what they wanted to say on their behalf."

All along, it was Lu Jingyou who did this and that for her.

She suddenly felt that she should do something to help him, so she stepped forward without thinking too much.

"Student Su, let's go to the office and chat!" Wang Hua saw Chen Xiaohong was there and invited her warmly, "Let's all go inside and have some tea."

"I won't go." Chen Xiaohong smiled ambiguously and gave Su Jiaojiao a meaningful look. "Assistant Wang, remember to send our Jiaojiao back."

"Sister Xiaohong, you're also an owner, so we should stay together and figure it out!" Su Jiaojiao refused to let her go and said to Wang Hua, "Assistant Wang, take us to where they saw the ghost."

"Okay, follow me." Wang Hua asked someone to bring safety helmets and took them into the unfinished Century Jiayuan community.
