"Driver, Xingfu Community."
After leaving the Longxiang Hotel, Xiao Chen randomly hailed a taxi, got in, and told the driver his destination. After saying that, he closed his eyes and began to plan for the night. The driver saw that Xiao Chen had closed his eyes and didn't say anything, and drove off.
If Xiao Chen remembered correctly, it started raining heavily all over the world at exactly midnight tonight. At first, it cooled down the hot weather in Hangzhou quite a bit, and people were very happy. However, the amount of rainfall was unusually large.
Six hours later, the water on the street was about a meter high, and the rainfall had decreased a little, but it was still about 100 milliliters per hour.
At this time, experts quickly appeared on television and said that this was only a short-term rainfall that would stop within 24 hours. In addition, the government also issued a statement saying that the rainfall was only temporary and would stop soon, and that citizens should not worry.
This reassured many citizens, who then refrained from purchasing essential supplies, ultimately leading to a cannibalistic spectacle. However, this scenario is unlikely to have anything to do with Xiao Chen in this lifetime.
Having experienced the wickedness of human nature, Xiao Chen had no intention of helping them. In other words, it was already a good thing that Xiao Chen didn't rob their supplies.
Half an hour later, the taxi arrived at Xingfu Community without incident. After paying the fare to the driver, Xiao Chen strode into the community.
Xiao Chen didn't know why he felt that their gazes towards him seemed a little strange, but he didn't think much of it.
They soon arrived at Building 5. Before entering the apartment, Xiao Chen felt a gaze directed at him from behind. He turned around abruptly and saw a middle-aged man staring at him.
"Huang Fugui?"
Xiao Chen quickly recognized the other person as the resident of the same building on the eighth floor. It seemed that the family owned a small company, but he didn't have any grudges against the other person.
Thinking of this, Xiao Chen ignored the other party and quickly walked towards the elevator, unaware that Huang Fugui's fingers were frantically tapping on the phone screen.
Meanwhile, on the 22nd floor, because the foreman had said they would only work for two days, Tang Xiaohu and his family returned to the Happiness Community today.
With a series of dings, Zhao Xiaohua, who was busy at home, habitually looked at her phone. After discovering that it was a message in a group chat, she opened her phone without hesitation and saw that it was a message sent by Huang Fugui.
"Xiao Chen is back, get ready!"
Upon receiving the message, Zhao Xiaohua immediately sneered.
"You little bastard, I've been waiting for you for so long, you're finally back."
After saying that, Zhao Xiaohua looked at her son Tang Jian and gave him instructions.
"Son, go press the elevator button and find something to block the elevator."
Tang Jian, who was playing with Transformers, heard his mother's words and obediently took a stool outside the house and pressed the elevator button.
At that moment, Xiao Chen arrived at the elevator and saw that it was just about to go up. Since it wouldn't make a difference if he waited a little longer, he stood at the elevator door and waited.
Soon the elevator arrived at the 22nd floor. When Xiao Chen saw the elevator stop on the 22nd floor, a bad feeling flashed through his mind.
On the 22nd floor, after Tang Jian saw the elevator doors open, he placed a stool at the elevator door. The elevator doors, sensing an obstacle, did not close and the elevator stopped.
"Mom, it's done!"
After seeing that the elevator was stuck, Tang Jian returned home and reported to Zhao Xiaohua. Upon hearing the news, Zhao Xiaohua felt a sense of relief.
"You little bastard, just you wait. I'll be waiting for you to kneel down and beg for mercy."
After saying that, Zhao Xiaohua looked at the group chat on her phone and saw that the group chat was called "Targeting Xiao Chen Group".
It turns out that after Xiao Chen angrily confronted all the owners of Building 5 that day, some owners took the initiative to approach Tang Xiaohu and his wife, suggesting that Xiao Chen should be made to suffer a lot and preferably be forced to leave Happiness Community.
This suggestion was quickly accepted by Zhao Xiaohua. Overnight, Zhao Xiaohua added more than seventy homeowners, excluding Xiao Chen, to the group. Huang Fugui's family owns a small company, so Huang Fugui would definitely not miss this opportunity to curry favor with Tang Xiaohu.
So when Huang Fugui saw Xiao Chen return, he quickly informed the group chat.
On the other side, Xiao Chen quickly realized after seeing the elevator stop on the 22nd floor for a full five minutes without moving that everyone was probably ganging up on him.
"But have you forgotten that your renovation shop owner is still upstairs?"
Xiao Chen was speechless at their lack of intelligence. If a handover was to take place, the owner of the renovation shop would definitely be present. Even if the owner of the renovation shop wasn't there, the construction team would still be on site.
Xiao Chen quickly found the decoration shop owner on WeChat and started a voice chat.
"Yes, very good. Mr. Xiao should be very satisfied."
In room 2301, the renovation shop owner looked at Xiao Chen's newly renovated house with confidence, certain that Xiao Chen would be very satisfied. Just then, his phone rang. Looking down, he saw it was Xiao Chen calling, so he answered the phone with a smile.
"Mr. Xiao, I'm currently in your house. I was wondering if you could come over now to take over the work?"
"Mr. Lu, I'd love to have this handover with you, but it seems the elevator is broken. I'm not in good health and can't climb stairs. Could you please take a look and see what's wrong with the elevator?"
Xiao Chen got straight to the point and hung up the phone after he finished speaking.
As a businessman, Boss Lu naturally sensed something was off about Xiao Chen's tone, so he turned to a worker and said, "Ye Gui, go check if there's anything wrong with the elevator?"
Upon hearing the boss's voice, a dark-skinned man quickly went out and returned shortly afterward.
"I don't know which idiot got the stool stuck in the elevator door, I've already moved it away."
Ye Gui waved the stool in his hand and said nonchalantly, while Boss Lu finally realized that someone was targeting Mr. Xiao.
However, since they were business partners, and this might be their last collaboration, Boss Lu didn't meddle.
On the other side, Xiao Chen pressed the elevator button after seeing that the elevator was working smoothly and went to the 23rd floor.
