Ding-dong.
Meanwhile, in the Happiness Residential Area, Tang Xiaohu's phone lit up. Upon seeing this, Zhao Xiaohua hurriedly urged, "Quickly check if that little bastard replied."
Tang Xiaohu quickly turned on his phone, but his expression immediately darkened after seeing the message.
"What's wrong?"
Realizing something was wrong, Zhao Xiaohua quickly asked what was going on. Tang Xiaohu didn't say anything, but just showed Zhao Xiaohua the messages in the group chat.
After seeing the above message, Zhao Xiaohua felt extremely humiliated. Her husband was the director of the regulatory bureau, a person who was treated with utmost respect wherever he went, yet he was insulted by this brat Xiao Chen.
In the group chat, Xiao Chen not only refused Tang Xiaohu's request, but also told him to go and discuss it with the construction team himself.
"No, I won't be able to sleep if it keeps making this noise. I need to go upstairs and talk to the construction team."
As a piercing sound rang out, Tang Xiaohu's heart became restless. He immediately pushed open the door and rushed towards Xiao Chen's house upstairs.
Actually, it's just that Tang Xiaohu's house is directly below Xiao Chen's house, so the renovation noise is much louder. There aren't many people in Xiao Chen's neighborhood, which is why Xiao Chen isn't worried. It seems that only his house on his floor has been bought, while the other houses haven't been auctioned off.
Tang Xiaohu quickly arrived at Xiao Chen's house, only to find that the front door had been removed. After all, in pursuit of top-level security, Xiao Chen would not keep the previous door. Naturally, he adopted a security door of the same level as a bank vault. Tests abroad have shown that even a bomb can only leave a black mark on it.
However, the price wasn't exactly cheap, reaching 150,000. Tang Xiaohu wasn't there for that. When he entered Xiao Chen's house, he only saw a dozen burly men working overtime.
After all, Xiao Chen needed them to finish the work in just two days, so this group of people were divided into day shifts and night shifts.
The moment Tang Xiaohu entered, he quickly attracted the attention of the dozen or so naked men present.
"Huh? Who are you? What are you doing here?"
A foreman looked at Tang Xiaohu and said with ill intent.
It's the height of summer now, and Hangzhou hasn't seen rain for almost a month. To stay cool, the workers simply took off their clothes and started working, since there were no women around anyway.
Tang Xiaohu was also momentarily stunned by the workers in front of him, but he quickly realized that he was the director of the regulatory bureau, so what was there to be afraid of?
Thinking of this, Tang Xiaohu put his hands on his hips and said confidently, "My name is Tang Xiaohu, and I am the director of the Hangzhou Municipal Bureau of Market Supervision. Your behavior of continuing to renovate in the middle of the night is considered a disturbance to the public. I hereby order you to stop all work!"
Upon hearing Tang Xiaohu's words, the foreman's face immediately darkened.
Although this job only involves two days of work, the income is as high as three thousand yuan per person. If anyone asks them to stop working, the foreman will not give them any face.
Even the head of the regulatory bureau.
"I'm sorry, we're rushing to finish this project, and we've already kept the noise level at 15 decibels. If you're still not satisfied, you can call the police!"
The foreman spoke expressionlessly, an attitude that infuriated Tang Xiaohu. He was the director of the regulatory bureau, a top figure even in Hangzhou.
But now even a small foreman dares to go against me? This is outrageous! This whole city of Hangzhou is going to rebel!
"I'm the director of the regulatory bureau. How dare you disrespect me? Which unit do you belong to?"
Tang Xiaohu immediately threatened the workers, hoping they would stop work.
"Hmph, threatening me? I'm with Brother Dao, what can you do about it?"
The foreman didn't buy into the workers' nonsense, and Tang Xiaohu's heart skipped a beat after hearing his words, his tone softening slightly.
Which Brother Dao are you talking about?
"What do you think? In Hangzhou, who else dares to call themselves Brother Dao?"
The foreman had a half-smile on his face. This wasn't just him bragging; the owner of the renovation shop had already considered all possible scenarios beforehand, which is why he hired Dao Ge's workers to carry out the work.
Upon hearing the foreman's words, Tang Xiaohu's face darkened. If there was anyone in Hangzhou he wouldn't dare to mess with, it would definitely be Brother Dao.
You can tell from his name that Brother Dao is involved in organized crime, but what's different is that Brother Dao has powerful backers at the provincial level. It wouldn't be difficult for them to take down Tang Xiaohu.
Upon hearing that the other party was one of Brother Dao's men, Tang Xiaohu felt a sense of retreat and took a deep breath to ask, "How much longer will your construction take?"
"Completed in two days!"
The foreman didn't hesitate and spoke up directly.
"Okay, it's only two days, I'll endure it!"
Tang Xiaohu left with a stern face. He couldn't afford to mess with Brother Dao, but Xiao Chen was just a nobody, and he could easily kill him.
Tang Xiaohu returned to the room quickly, and Zhao Xiaohua rushed over to ask, "Honey, how are you? Have they stopped working?"
But he quickly noticed the angry expression on Tang Xiaohu's face.
"No, the other party is backed by Brother Dao. We need to think this through."
Tang Xiaohu said with a grim expression, and Zhao Xiaohua, who also knew of Brother Dao's reputation, felt a chill in her heart after hearing that the construction team members were Brother Dao.
"So what do we do? Are we just supposed to stay awake all the time?"
Zhao Xiaohua also said somewhat disdainfully that if her husband were just a little bit more capable, then she wouldn't be afraid of this so-called Brother Dao, and she wouldn't be bullied.
"Don't worry, if I can't handle Brother Dao, surely I can handle Xiao Chen? As far as I know, Xiao Chen is the store manager of Meiyijia here. I'll give Xiao Chen a call and have him stop the construction team. Otherwise, with my connections, getting them to fire Xiao Chen will be a piece of cake."
"I've thought of something," Tang Xiaohu said confidently.
"Then why don't you hurry up and do it?"
Zhao Xiaohua urged, and Tang Xiaohu quickly took out his phone to call Xiao Chen. However, to Tang Xiaohu's surprise, he heard Xiao Chen's phone was switched off on the other end.
When Tang Xiaohu tagged him earlier, he knew that someone would definitely call him later, so Xiao Chen turned off his phone in advance.
Meanwhile, Tang Xiaohu, who had not been able to contact Xiao Chen, looked extremely grim. He finally decided to take his wife and son to stay in a hotel for two nights, since it would only take two days of construction anyway.
However, this incident created a grudge between Tang Xiaohu's family and Xiao Chen.
