Chapter 1013 Unreasonable Request
Because of this, He Ziyuan and the others stayed behind, busily arranging everything for everyone. After confirming that there was no danger in the community, they even personally escorted each household home.
It is true that the exterior walls of the buildings in the residential area were blackened. After all, the mutated old banyan tree was quite large and burned for a long time. Even if it didn't set the building on fire, the smoke alone was enough to blacken the entire building.
This neighborhood was old and dilapidated to begin with, and now it's just gotten even worse.
They survived, and their families are all safe and sound. Compared to those who lost their lives in a daze, they are quite lucky.
Thinking about this, most people feel fortunate. Looking at their own situation, they can only sigh at most, without complaining.
Some people, however, thought differently. He Ziyuan and others did their best to do everything perfectly. When the outer wall of the community turned black, they specially sent someone to help repaint it, and it looked even newer than before.
They also did their best to help the residents whose balconies were burned, and even installed new security grilles for them.
Coincidentally, the person who posted this message was one of the unlucky ones whose balcony was burned down. After returning home and finding his balcony burned, he had a fight with He Ziyuan and others.
He Ziyuan and the others remembered the people who had argued with Ye Wanxi before. Although they were a little unhappy to see this person causing trouble, they still followed the procedure and helped him restore his house.
Unexpectedly, seeing how easily they gave in, this person started to have ulterior motives.
After restoring the balcony and exterior walls, we then asked them to renovate the interior as well.
The residential buildings in the community have been built for thirty or forty years. In such a long time, the owners may have changed several times, and many residents have renovated their houses. The exterior walls look old, but the interiors are new.
This family's house was not like that. It was passed down from his grandfather's generation. His father was incompetent, and he was even less so. They didn't have any spare money to renovate. Therefore, the hard and soft furnishings in the house were still in the style of thirty or forty years ago, and many parts of the walls were yellowed.
After hearing the other party's request and seeing the situation of his house, He Ziyuan understood immediately that this guy was planning to take advantage of their misfortune and make them pay for his free house renovation.
Having endured this for a long time, He Ziyuan and the others naturally could not agree to his unreasonable demands. They refused him and left his house cleanly and decisively, ignoring his unreasonable tantrums and tantrums.
Because of this, the other party was unhappy and thought of using public opinion to force He Ziyuan and others to submit, which led to today's incident.
The newly released video from the official account shows the conversation between the staff who went to help and the poster regarding the housing issue.
For privacy reasons, the video did not show the faces of either party, but even so, it still aroused the anger of many people.
"Beep~ Sir, we've tidied up the balcony for you, and installed new security bars. Is there anything else we can help you with?"
"Yes, of course, come in with me."
The scene shifts, and the group enters the inner hall.
"This wall, and the wall in my bedroom, have all been turned into this."
The camera followed the direction the other person pointed and turned to show a crack in the old wall. The crack stretched from the ceiling to the corner of the wall, slightly open but quite large.
Whether it's people watching the video or staff members who were on site at the time, they could tell at a glance that the crack must have been there for years, and it couldn't have just appeared recently.
If an ordinary person can see through it at a glance, how could the staff who came to help, most of whom work in construction-related fields, not see it?
He immediately replied, "Beep~ Mr., your wall didn't crack because of this attack, did it? This isn't our responsibility."
Seeing his lie exposed, the homeowner became agitated: "How is it not your responsibility? This wall cracked because of this incident, you must take responsibility. What did you say before you came? You said you would do your best to restore the house to its original condition. Now we're just asking you for a favor, and you're making excuses. You're all talk and no action."
The room fell silent instantly. Even though the faces of the people inside couldn't be seen clearly, everyone could imagine through the screen how dark the faces of the staff responsible for the cleanup must have been and how awkward the atmosphere must have been.
Some people who were originally just looking for a spectacle have already had their faces darken upon seeing this.
Those watching were a little angry, let alone the people involved, but perhaps considering that they had just gone through a calamity, they didn't want to cause any unnecessary conflict with the residents.
After a long silence, one of the staff members tentatively asked, "Can we fill in these cracks in the wall for you?"
To outsiders, this solution was quite good, but the homeowner clearly didn't think so.
After the staff relented, he made another request: "No, I want you to tear down this wall and build me a new one, and the same goes for the bedroom. The style has to be consistent; it can't be different in every place, or it will look ugly."
Everyone almost thought they had misheard, but after thinking it over carefully, they finally understood the homeowner's purpose.
Take this opportunity to tear down the wall and rebuild it, while also making a quick buck from the new renovation.
Why insist on a consistent style? Isn't it just a way to get someone to renovate the whole house for free? Otherwise, with his walls already yellowed and grayed out, if he really had to tear down two walls to achieve a unified style, wouldn't he have to redo all the other walls and ceilings?
I've seen shameless people before, but I've never seen anyone this shameless. This is a classic case of getting something for nothing.
The staff present were clearly stunned by his shamelessness, and after a few seconds of silence, they said, "Sorry, your request is unreasonable and we cannot agree to it."
"Unreasonable?" The homeowner's tone suddenly rose, and even through the thick mosaic, viewers could imagine the sudden change in his expression upon hearing this.
"How is it unreasonable? Where is it unreasonable? We did nothing, and such a huge monster appeared in our neighborhood. We almost lost our lives and were so frightened. Our house is now in this terrible state. Shouldn't you take responsibility?"
"All I'm asking is for you to fix my house, which isn't a particularly difficult thing for you, but you're telling me it's unreasonable and refusing to agree. You keep saying you're serving the people and trying your best to satisfy us, but you're really saying one thing and doing another. I'm putting this out there today: if you can't give me a satisfactory answer, I'm going to file a complaint against you!"
