Chapter 175: Nothing



President Gao called the boss and told him that the disappearance of Sun and Yang that morning was related to the previously empty but now full houses of the city branch.

What he didn't expect was that after hearing this, the boss was not surprised at all. Instead, he told him on the phone that Sun and Yang came here to investigate the complaints filed by retired people and had no other mission.

As for the sudden appearance of the empty house, it was probably someone who reported it to them after they came here.

When President Gao heard this, his heart suddenly skipped a beat. He thought that if this was true, then the incident could only have happened last night after Sun and Yang returned to the room.

Director Ji and his people are indeed useless, President Gao said in his heart.

"Lao Gao, are you still listening?"

"I'm listening, listen, go ahead."

"Lao Gao, I've already contacted their supervisor, and he's agreed not to pursue the matter. However, since the matter has come to light, we must take it seriously. I mean, we have to save face for everyone."

Having said that, the boss will not continue.

This is the art of leadership: don't be rigid; let subordinates understand for themselves. If a subordinate does something right, it means they understand the leader's intention. Conversely, if a subordinate does something wrong, it means they didn't understand the leader's instructions, and they will bear the blame.

President Gao had also worked his way up from an ordinary staff member to where he is today, so how could he not understand the intricacies of this situation? So, after the boss finished speaking, President Gao said, "I'll handle Director Sun and Director Yang's work. As for those houses, can you think of a way to remedy them? After all, those people can report this matter to Director Sun and Director Yang, or to the relevant departments."

President Gao said this to tell the boss that there are some things he can do and some things he can't. It's obvious that the issue with the empty house is a bomb that might explode at any time.

President Gao could silence Sun and Yang, but he couldn't silence the person who reported the incident. If they reported the matter to the relevant authorities, things would definitely get very complicated.

Although Sun and Yang were disciplinary inspectors, they were bank employees after all, and ultimately, family members. The relevant departments were different; if they got serious, someone might end up getting paid for something.

There was still silence on the other end of the line. President Gao's hand, gripping the phone, was already sweating. After a long while, the boss finally said, "Tell Director Pi to clear out all those empty houses—no, houses occupied by outsiders—in one week..."

President Gao hung up the phone, thinking, "Why didn't you say so earlier?" President Gao shouted toward the door, and Director Pi, who had been waiting outside, pushed it open and came in.

"Director Pi, we've got one week to restore those places to their original state, which means clearing them all out..."

Director Pi almost fainted when he heard this. He thought that even in a month, not to mention a week, no, even a year, he probably wouldn't be able to clear that place out.

As far as he knew, some of the houses in those places had changed hands several times, and it was unclear who the original tenants were.

Director Pi thought that within a week, he could just take back the houses he had rented out privately. At worst, he could just refund the rent to those people, or even give them a little more.

As for the rest of the houses, he was not sure. At first, Director Pi thought they were just borrowing them for a while, so he gave them some houses at random.

Now he couldn't remember who borrowed several sets or which sets they borrowed.

Should we go door to door and ask? It seems that this is the only way.

Seeing that Director Pi didn't express his opinion for a while, President Gao said angrily, "Old Pi, Director Pi, give me a definite answer. Can you do it?"

Director Pi tried hard for a while, but still said helplessly: "President Gao, the time is too tight, it's difficult to do it!"

President Gao roared, "We have to do it even if it's difficult. Otherwise, this matter will become even more troublesome later."

How could Director Pi not know that there would be more trouble in the future? But he was going to retire in a few years, and although he had known that those houses would be in trouble, he was too lazy to worry about it.

So, even though he knew there would be trouble in the future, he pretended not to know.

Now that this matter has suddenly come up, it seems that this trouble cannot be avoided.

So, he gritted his teeth and said, "President Gao, I'll do my best."

President Gao left. He already knew the cause of the incident, so he could sleep peacefully tonight.

He was innocent of the empty house incident. As for dealing with Sun and Yang, it wasn't difficult either. They had revealed the incident to give the city branch a chance to put out the fire.

If they really wanted to pursue the matter, they wouldn't have said it.

After President Gao left, Director Pi was in a dilemma. He was still thinking about what he had been doing for a week, but after thinking it over and over again, he still couldn't come up with a good solution.

Director Pi sighed, then left the room and walked to the lobby on the first floor. As a result, he ran into Principal Han, whom he didn't want to see at all.

Director Pi didn't want to pay any attention to this person. He didn't even say hello and walked towards the door with his head raised.

Principal Han, however, stepped in front of him and said with a smile, "Director Pi, why didn't you even say hello when we met?"

Director Pi didn't want to argue with him, so he said, "Oh, it's President Han? I didn't see you just now."

Han Da Yazi was not angry either. He stepped aside and said, "Director Pi, please take care. Come back often when you have time!"

Director Pi snorted and walked out. After coming out, Director Pi looked at the street lights in the distance, then at the cars parked here in a mess, and thought it was not appropriate to go to the boss and ask him to give him some time.

Thinking about his past unbreakable relationship with the boss, and thinking about how he just refused to answer his call, Director Pi was actually a little sad.

He refused to answer the phone for such a trivial matter, which showed that he was nothing in his eyes. Director Pi cursed while looking for his special car.

It was probably because Director Pi's driver fell asleep after waiting in the car for too long. Director Pi walked to the car and knocked on the window glass, and he suddenly woke up.

This man is a relative of Director Pi, and Director Pi used his power to get him to drive for him.

Director Pi opened the car door and got in the back seat. The driver started the car and drove off. After driving for a while, the driver saw in the rearview mirror that Director Pi seemed very depressed, so he said something to make conversation, "Uncle, I saw Li Chengcheng from the branch."

Director Pi didn't say anything, and the driver continued, "He drove a Santana and also went to the Tea House..."
