The time soon came to 11:50 and the New Year’s bell was about to ring.
Su Keke deliberately paused the Spring Festival Gala video at the time of the New Year's Eve countdown. Now it was almost that time, and the two people who had eaten and drunk their fill quickly stood up from the sofa in the living room.
After the two arrived at the restaurant, Su Keke turned on the pause button, and Grandma Qiao poured Coke into the two people's cups.
As the people on TV counted down to ten seconds, "Meow... Meow... Meow..." Tangyuan ran from the living room to the dining room, biting the five-spice fish fillet that Su Keke gave it.
As the countdown ended on TV, 3, 2, 1, Su Keke picked up Tang Yuan and clinked glasses with Grandma Qiao, saying "Happy New Year!" together.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
The TV video switched to colorful fireworks, and the sound of fireworks could be heard everywhere.
"I will never forget this night... I will never forget this night..." A soprano voice sang passionately from the TV, and everyone on and off the stage sang along.
"So this song was the finale of the Spring Festival Gala so early?"
Su Keke was so excited that she seemed to have discovered a new world!
"Of course, it must be held every year!" Grandma Qiao was very excited. She held Su Keke's hand and hummed along with the TV.
Tangyuan A cat squatted in a corner of the table, staring at the people on TV without blinking, "meow meow meow".
This year's New Year's Eve, Su Keke lived many times better than in her previous life.
It may be because of the capsule house in this life that Su Keke and Grandma Qiao live better than most people, especially now, they are probably the only ones who can still countdown to the Spring Festival Gala!
…
The time after the New Year passed particularly quickly, and before Su Keke and Grandma Qiao knew it was February yet, they were still in the villa.
The temperature has now slowly risen to around 10 degrees. After the snow has faded, Du Huairen organized another owners' meeting.
This time everyone can drive out, so basically everyone is here, mainly to discuss how much materials should be submitted as property fees every month.
"I think paying 10 kilograms of rice a month is about right!"
"We have a lot of flour in stock, so we'll hand in 10 kilograms of flour!"
"Our supplies are running out, and we're afraid we won't even have enough to eat. Now it's the end of the world and there's a natural disaster. Why are we still paying property fees? Why don't you, the Du family, go and grab some!"
The one who dared to speak so confidently was Huang Shufen.
"Stop talking. Do you think I'm still the minister who controls Lingcheng's finances? Money is just like waste paper now. Do you think Du Huairen still needs to give me face?"
Finance Minister Jin Aiguo glared at his wife who was so talkative and said.
"What are you afraid of? We bought this villa with real money. So what if we don't pay the property management fee? Can Du Huairen kick us out?"
"Look outside now, which community still pays property fees?"
Huang Shufen was used to shouting at home, and now she spoke loudly in front of so many people in the conference room without any reservation.
"I think what Sister Huang said is right! Which community still pays property fees now?"
"Yes, yes! I think so too. You, the Du family, can't take advantage of us. It's too ugly to be greedy like this!"
Following Huang Shufen's lead, many residents in the villa area said they would not pay the property management fee.
"Who do you think is being rude? In the beginning, which one of you didn't beg to buy the villa here?"
"Don't you know how many disasters our Lanshan Villa District has saved you? If you weren't the owner of this place, you would have reported to the King of Hell long ago!"
Du Yichen was so angry that these people slandered the Du family that he retorted.
"How can you talk like that? You are the one who will go to see the King of Hell! Your whole family will go to see the King of Hell!"
Because of Du Yichen's words, other owners were so excited that they started cursing in the street. It seems that the quality of rich people is not that good either!
Su Keke and Grandma Qiao hid in a corner, eating melon seeds and watching the show. Anyway, handing in some supplies every month was not a problem for Su Keke at all.
After all, the Du family needs a lot of supplies to support a security team of dozens of people. And the daily responsibility of this security team is to be responsible for the safety of the community.
If this security team is disbanded, the Lanshan Villa District will be very dangerous. This place has long been a popular destination in the eyes of many evil forces.
It is only a matter of time before these property owners are robbed.
Su Keke and Qin Xiu both saw this very clearly, and soon Qin Xiu joined Su Keke and Grandma Qiao's small team who were eating melon seeds and watching the show.
"Stop making noise!" Mr. Du shouted, and everyone in the conference room fell silent.
"If anyone doesn't want to hand it over, just stand up. We in the Du family will never force them!"
Du Huairen looked at everyone and said coldly.
"No... I say, old man, why are you so easy to talk to? How much supplies will our family lose if they do this?"
Du Yifan couldn't sit still anymore. Although he was usually careless, the matter of delivering supplies was related to whether he could still have a good life in the future.
I wonder if the old man will cut their food supply by then.
Swish, swish, swish! Swish, swish, swish! In the conference room, except for the Du family and Su Keke's small group, almost everyone else stood up and said they would not hand over the supplies.
Chen Lian and Su Lingyue did not need to come this time because they were only staying temporarily, and of course the Du family did not have to pay property fees for their own villa.
"Okay! I just checked and besides our Du family, only the residents of Villa 5 and Villa 6 did not stand up. From now on, our Du family's security team will only patrol within the range of Villas 1 to 6. Our Du family will not be responsible for the personal and property safety of others. Please do as you please. The meeting is adjourned!"
Du Huairen finished his speech in a particularly domineering manner, without even glancing at the residents who stood up, and left the meeting room with several bodyguards.
"What does Mr. Du mean by this?"
"Yeah! The security patrols don't come to our place anymore?
"What's the big deal? Are you afraid that someone will come and rob us? Who has the guts to do that? The Du family has guns. Those people don't know that we are not protected by the security team!"
These words from Sun Yucheng, the owner of Villa No. 10 and the prince of Changfeng Group, made everyone feel reassured and at ease instantly.
Just like that, all the other owners left the meeting room with peace of mind.
"Let's go too!"
Su Keke threw the melon seed shells in her hand into the trash can at the door, and she and Qin Xiuqiao's grandmother were about to go out to drive.
"Everyone! Our old man wants to see you!"
When the three of them arrived at the property parking lot, they were suddenly stopped by Du Huairen's men. Su Keke seemed to remember that this man was called Xiao Zhang.
"Mr. Du is looking for us?" Su Keke and Qin Xiu asked at the same time.
"Yes! Please come with me to the old man's office here."
Xiao Zhang spoke to Su Keke in a very respectful tone, perhaps this was something that Grandpa Du had specifically instructed him to do.
Su Keke and Qin Xiu looked at each other, not knowing what Grandpa Du was up to. Was he going to ask them to hand over the supplies now?
