Qingmei received the news that only registration would be done today and no formalities would be handled.
She quickly realized that someone must be taking advantage of the situation.
She took the contract from the refugee, registered it for him, and said, "Come back in ten days to sign and get the keys."
"Ten days? Didn't they say I could get the key if I paid today?"
Qingmei said expressionlessly, "The Grand Housekeeper has ordered that every apartment and every contract be reviewed. We have no other options. But don't worry, our boss will urge the Grand Housekeeper to review it as soon as possible. Maybe everyone will get the keys in seven or eight days, not ten."
The hall was buzzing with people talking.
"It's fine to get the keys in seven or eight days, and I can earn a few more days' wages. After I get the house, I can also buy two more chairs."
"That's right. Seven or eight days is enough."
"The money is ready, but you can't get the key today. Are you kidding me?"
"Didn't those people who handled the formalities before get the keys?"
Of course not.
Although the accountants are working very hard, they are unable to cope with the many problems posed by the migrant workers who are buying houses. They don't understand and their efficiency is slow.
In addition, Bai Zhong and his team quickly discovered the problem, so when Deng Cunli gave the order, no home buyer had received the key yet.
In the evening, the hustle and bustle of the day ends.
The agreement has been signed, and everyone who has registered to buy a house is beaming with joy.
However, in the east courtyard of Prince Ning's Mansion, the atmosphere was somewhat solemn.
Deng Cunli and others rushed back to the palace overnight to report the situation to Gu Jiu.
Gu Jiu was flipping through the account book with an unclear expression.
The situation was very good on the first day of opening.
Twelve hundred apartments and eight to nine thousand houses were registered.
This is several thousand more houses than the original sales plan.
The original plan was to sell four to five thousand houses on the first day, which would be considered exceeding the target.
Sales were booming, but Gu Jiu wasn't happy. Deng Cunli and the others weren't happy either.
If Gu Jiu is just a profit-driven developer, then there is no problem.
It’s all about selling houses, it doesn’t matter who you sell it to.
Others are rich, and they can buy not only four or five hundred houses at once, but even the entire market as long as the price is right.
However, Gu Jiu is not an ordinary developer, and it is not in her interest to have the business monopolized by others.
If all the houses in the first phase of the project are bought up by wealthy people, how will the subsequent relocation plan for the refugees be carried out?
When there are refugees who have tasted the sweetness of buying houses through agents, who will still honestly follow Gu Jiu's instructions to move? Who will still follow the rules set by Gu Jiu?
Those who take advantage of the situation may seem to just hire someone to buy a house and become a landlord, so the problem does not seem too serious.
In fact, the problem is extremely serious.
First of all, it will affect Gu Jiu's control over tens of thousands of refugees, which is equivalent to someone challenging the boss's authority.
Secondly, this action will definitely delay the relocation plan for the second batch of refugees.
You know, Gu Jiu’s daily expenses are astronomical now.
Every day the relocation of refugees is delayed costs her a lot.
The bastard behind the scenes not only used the ultra-low prices offered to refugees to speculate on real estate, but also delayed her important plans. This indirectly caused her to lose money, which is simply unforgivable.
For example, if the house is launched today, the information of the original buyer is real and valid, and once the down payment is paid, he can get the key and move into the new house.
The first group of people who move into the new house will have their original shacks vacated.
There are actually many things to consider when recruiting workers.
It spreads from the shantytown in the west to the shantytown in the east.
In other words, the refugees in the western slum areas were the first to get jobs, earn money, and have relatively more savings.
As long as these refugees get the keys and move into their new houses, a large number of vacant shacks will be vacated in the western shack area.
The demolition work can then proceed naturally.
Gradually encroach and relocate from west to east. As long as enough land is demolished, the second phase of the project can begin.
The plan is good, but plans cannot keep up with changes.
Because someone took advantage of the situation and hired someone to buy a house, Gu Jiu's first relocation plan had to be postponed for ten days.
For ten days, the expenses were several thousand taels every day.
Delaying her for ten days was equivalent to causing her to lose tens of thousands of taels of silver.
As the saying goes, cutting off someone's financial resources is like killing their parents.
No matter who is behind this, she will fight to the end.
Bang!
Gu Jiu threw the account book on the table with a loud noise.
She gritted her teeth and was very irritable because of her pregnancy.
"Investigate, this matter must be thoroughly investigated."
Qian Fu bowed and asked, "Excuse me, Madam, how do you want to check?"
Gu Jiu's eyes were red. "The investigation will be divided into two steps. The first is to investigate the refugees. Anyone who is hired to buy a house will be fired from the construction site and re-employed.
These people must be taught a lesson. They ate my food, drank my drinks, and then turned their backs on me at the critical moment. Do they really think I'm doing charity?
If anyone dares to cause trouble, notify the Embroidered Uniform Guards directly and have them arrest them. I'll give them a heads-up."
Hey, when did Madam become so close to the Embroidered Uniform Guards?
Deng Cunli's focus seems to have shifted.
He didn't know that in the kidnapping case last year, Liu Zhao tricked Xu Xianzhi of the Embroidered Uniform Guard into investigating the case together, which made the Embroidered Uniform Guard surpass the Jinwu Guard.
From then on, the Embroidered Uniform Guard and the Ning Prince's Mansion had a good relationship.
In addition, Gu Jiu persuaded the Xiuyiwei to invest in the South City Gate project. Now that the project has problems, the Xiuyiwei has no choice but to contribute.
Gu Jiu continued, "Collect all the clues and make sure to find the employer who hired someone to buy the house. Even if the other party is a powerful person and dares to cause trouble on my territory, I will make him spit out everything he has eaten."
Qian Fu pondered and asked, "Madam, what you mean is that even if the other party is a royal relative or a prominent family, there is no need to be polite."
"Why should I be polite?" Gu Jiu asked Qian Fu, "Why should I be polite to someone who ruined my plan and caused me to lose money? No need to be polite. Not only should I not be polite, but I should also collect as much negative information as possible about the other party. Even if I go to court before the emperor, I must have evidence to support my case."
Qian Fu bowed slightly and said, "I know what to do. I'll do it right away."
"Hurry up and find out the truth as soon as possible, and solve the problem as soon as possible."
Qian Fu took the order and left.
Gu Jiu looked at Deng Cunli and Bai Zhong.
She rubbed her brows. "Your preliminary investigation work wasn't done well enough, which gave them the opportunity to exploit loopholes. I've said it before, the first phase of the project is to resettle the refugees. The tens of thousands of refugees in the shantytown area will all be moved into the first phase of the project."
As a result, refugees were hired to falsely buy houses. Old Deng, you have an unshirkable responsibility. Let me ask you, if 1,000 of the 2,800 houses were sold, how will I accommodate the remaining refugees?
The second phase of the project is primarily aimed at the common people of the capital. Do you think the common people of the capital would be happy to live in the same market town with refugees? If this issue can't be resolved, the second phase of the project will be completely aborted, and all subsequent plans will be impossible to carry out."
Deng Cunli was also ashamed. "I underestimated the courage of those people. Madam, rest assured. I promise that such a situation will not happen again in the future."
Gu Jiu nodded. "Use your methods. Don't sympathize with those who betray you. Give them a good beating. Then they will know that the boss is not just doing charity. The boss is also a fierce and angry King Kong."
"I understand."
Gu Jiu waved his hand and Deng Cunli bowed and retreated.
Bai Zhong was the only one left in the small study.
Bai Zhong was a little nervous.
Gu Jiu pondered for a moment and said, "You are young and inexperienced. Helping Old Deng this time is a great opportunity to gain experience. If one day you can develop the vision and insight of Qian Fu, you will be considered a successful apprentice."
Bai Zhong looked embarrassed. "Eunuch Qian is truly too powerful. He can tell who has problems with him with just a glance. I can never compare to him."
Gu Jiu suddenly said earnestly, "Don't underestimate yourselves. Study hard. How much you can learn depends on your luck. You, Huang Zhuo, and Rong Xin, the three of you are young, and you are the first batch. I have high hopes for you."
After all, Eunuch Deng is old. When he can no longer do the work, you will have to take on the responsibility. You and Huang Zhuorongxin should communicate more frequently. The three of you must strive to do your best and do not let me down.
Bai Zhong was very excited, and at this moment he felt like he was injected with chicken blood.
"I will listen to my wife and study hard."
Gu Jiu nodded, "You can get busy."
"As you command."
Liu Zhao came in only after she finished her work.
"Why get so angry? Be careful with the kids."
He brought a bowl of Tremella soup and placed it in front of Gu Jiu.
Gu Jiu had no appetite at this time and was still angry.
"Someone cut off my financial resources, how could I not be furious? Let me find out who is behind this, and I will settle this score with them. Even if I have to sue them before the emperor, I won't be afraid."
Liu Zhao massaged her shoulders and asked, "Do you really want to get to the bottom of this?"
"What else can I do? If others come to my door and use some shady means, and I don't fight back, don't let them treat me as a soft persimmon that can be taken advantage of at will."
Liu Zhao smiled softly upon hearing this, "Of course you're not a pushover. Is there anything I can do for you?"
Gu Jiu immediately took advantage of the situation and said, "Lend me your people. You don't have any important tasks recently, so it's a good opportunity to make full use of them."
Liu Zhao's mouth twitched. "Are you sure my people are all free?"
"Aren't you free?" Gu Jiu asked innocently.
Liu Zhao smiled but said nothing.
His people are so busy every day that they never have time to rest.
"Use the people from the palace. My people are all busy with their missions and cannot spare any time."
Gu Jiu wrinkled his nose. "My wife is in trouble, and my husband doesn't help. When we make money, you won't get any."
"My dear wife, your husband will apologize to you."
"It's too late! This lady doesn't want it."
In the end, Liu Zhao still lent four people to Gu Jiu, all of whom were capable of standing on their own.
…
Xu Youfu straightened his clothes and asked his wife, "What do you think of me?"
"Excellent."
Xu Youfu used to be the Ning King's clerk, so naturally he was good-looking.
A jerk like you is not qualified to serve the prince.
If he hadn't secretly slept with the maid in Bixi Pavilion, who is now his wife, he would not have been kicked out of the palace.
For so many years, I have been making a living by doing odd jobs and running small businesses.
Although it seems that the family has no worries about food and drink, they are actually very uneasy deep down in their hearts and want to go back to the palace to work.
It’s like in modern times, even if someone earns tens of thousands of yuan a month, they still envy the civil servants who have a stable job.
Especially when people are over 40, with elderly parents and young children to support, the advantages of civil servants are too obvious. They are definitely not comparable to those of private company employees.
Xu Youfu has this kind of mentality.
Even if he could make a living by running a small business, he still wanted to return to the palace to work. Even if he couldn't return to the prince, he was satisfied to be noticed and promoted by the eldest lady.
Today was his first time working outside the South City Gate. As the above said, as long as he did a good job, he would be kept.
If they don't do their job well, they will be kicked out.
He also heard that this group of people, who were selected from the idle staff of the palace, were originally planned to follow Chen Erzhuang to the countryside and mountains.
Because the South City Gate project had a temporary problem and had to change the plan, they were able to escape the Down to the Countryside Movement and were able to work outside the South City Gate.
It’s great outside the South City Gate!
That's where he shines.
"It's getting late. I need to get to work. If I'm late, I'll leave a bad impression on my manager."
His wife didn't dare to delay his mission, "Then go quickly, and don't delay the mission arranged by the lady."
"Okay, I know."
Xu Youfu gathered at the entrance of the alley behind the palace.
There were sixty people in their group.
It is said that there were originally eighty people, twenty of whom failed the background check and were rejected.
The sixty people gathered, boarded a covered car, and headed to the south city gate.
It was just dawn at this time and the sun had not yet risen.
Smoothly left the city.
Outside the city gate, Song Zheng and a hundred or so brothers had been waiting for a long time.
He nodded to Bai Zhong and said, "Let's go. Eunuch Deng is not waiting for us."
Of the hundreds of brothers under Song Zheng, only ten were palace guards. The rest were all guards he recruited under Gu Jiu's orders.
After a year of training, these guards may not be able to fight on the battlefield, but they will have no problem handling ordinary emergencies.
Qian Fu also brought dozens of people with him, all of whom were selected from Liu Zhao's personal soldiers.
A centurion of the Embroidered Uniform Guard also rushed over with his men.
They are responsible for holding the scene today and arresting people when necessary.
A group of people came to the refugee slum area in a mighty procession.
Everyone found their own seat and quickly divided the food.
Boom boom boom…
The bronze bell was rung, signaling the assembly.
Upon hearing this signal, all the people working under the boss must gather under the big locust tree within a quarter of an hour, and the captains of each team must count the number of people.
The originally empty Dahuaishu Square was gradually filled with a large crowd of people.
At first glance, there is no end in sight.
This was Song Zheng's first time witnessing such a scene. He asked quietly, "How many people are there here?"
Bai Zhong whispered, "There are a total of 8,000 people registered, involving more than 5,000 families."
Wang Jiangen was a little nervous.
Ever since he bought the house, the atmosphere in the shantytown had been a little strange, and his intuition told him that perhaps there was something wrong with the house.
Li Shun stood in the crowd, very inconspicuous.
He looked around, speculating in his mind.
He is the team leader of the construction site and is better informed than others.
He guessed from the occasional words the steward uttered that someone had probably committed a crime, and it was quite serious.
Boom!
A gong and drum sounded, and everyone fell silent.
Deng Cunli stood on the earthen platform with a tin trumpet in his hand.
His voice was not loud, but it was full of momentum.
"Does anyone know why we've gathered here? Because someone is betraying us!"
He suddenly raised his voice, and the hearts of more than 8,000 people in the audience, including the family members surrounding the periphery, were shocked.
Deng Cunli waved his arms, pointing at everyone: "Think about it yourselves. Three or four months ago, what kind of life did you lead? You lived a life worse than pigs and dogs. You were forgotten, bullied, and trampled upon by everyone. You were just corpses waiting to die.
Compare that to what you're living now. What kind of life are you living? You're living a human life now. Whose credit is it for all this? It's the credit of the boss.
With such a huge capital, do you really think you can't recruit people and have to force you refugees to work? No! As long as we post a job announcement, countless ordinary people in the capital will apply.
They are stronger than you, work harder than you, and eat less than you. The employer does not need to give them four steamed buns every day so that they can take them home for dinner for the whole family.
Your employer hired you to offer you a way out. Ask yourself: Who do you rely on to live with dignity, to keep your family well fed and clothed, and to have money to improve their diet? It's your employer.
The Dong family not only feeds you eight thousand people, but also feeds your families. In other words, all the refugees here are supported by the Dong family. However, what is disheartening is that some people eat the Dong family's food, but they are betraying their own people and colluding with outsiders to murder the Dong family.
boom!
The crowd is in chaos!
Is this true?
Is it true that someone colluded with outsiders to murder the boss?
who?
Catch him out!
