Chapter 73 Gerald's Distress
In the chapel of La Ciotat, a young man was sitting there praying.
After praying, he looked up at the statue of Jesus hanging there and sighed deeply. He really wanted to ask God what he had done wrong. How could God play such a trick on him?
If he could choose again, he would never become a civil servant again! He would never decide to go into politics!
His name is Gerard, and he works for the Marseille Housing Renovation and Construction Administration. Some time ago, a huge opportunity fell on his head: he was assigned to the La Ciotat Villa district to take charge of community work there!
This is definitely a lucrative job!
Gerard is a man who is determined to go into politics, and the people living in the La Ciotat villa area are all rich and powerful. If he can establish good relations with the people here, his future will definitely be much easier!
He knew that the people living here were not easy to mess with, so he carefully tried his best to get along with everyone. Fortunately, except for Pascal Cousteau, who built a high wall around himself and was a weirdo and difficult to get along with, everyone else in the community was okay.
To be honest, it is indeed much easier to deal with rich people than with poor people - the poorer you are, the more problems you have!
Life in La Ciotat was like a paradise for Gerrard.
But he couldn't understand why a small matter like not being able to dry clothes on the roof turned out like this?
He hadn't slept well for several days. As soon as he closed his eyes, a strange voice would come into his mind. Closing the doors and blocking the windows was useless. The penetrating power of this voice was so terrifying that it was deeply imprinted in his soul!
Now the security guards in the community are afraid to go out for patrol at night. They say that every time they go out for patrol, they always feel like the devil is singing in their ears.
That Chinese guy named Xiao Peng is truly despicable! A weirdo's friends are also weirdos! Isn't it just a 500 yuan fine? This is clearly stipulated in the system, and I'm following the rules and regulations. Do you have to retaliate like this?
If I had known that day would happen, I should have told that Lyon native Lambert to stop his son from playing the violin! With your son's level, he won't be able to become a violinist even if he practices for a thousand years! I feel sick just listening to the sound of that violin!
But now I would rather listen to his son's violin than Xiao Peng's suona! That sound can kill people!
Gerrard had contacted Xiao Peng before, and Xiao Peng made it very clear: he did everything in accordance with the community regulations!
Isn't that according to the community rules? Every morning, it starts at 8:05 AM and ends at 9:55 PM. It's even more accurate than the reveille or lights-out call! He plays it a couple of times a day whenever he's in a good mood. It would be fine if you played upbeat tunes, but the ones you play are so daring they make people want to cry. Who the hell could stand that?
Gerard had thought about banning the playing of the suona in the community, but Xiao Peng got anxious when he heard about it, and wanted to contact lawyers and reporters. It was only then that he learned that Xiao Peng was the one who saved dozens of people in the port of Marseille by "Dancing with Sharks".
If it were any other time, he would have been eager to tell the whole world: "Dancing with Sharks is here!" After all, if the media came and the community got attention, he could also benefit from it.
But now he doesn't want anyone to know that Xiao Peng is here with him, and he can't let others know that such a thing happened!
Otherwise, if Xiao Peng insisted that changing the rules for him alone was an act of racial discrimination, his career would come to an end forever.
How to solve this problem? Gerrard is also worried!
Xiao Peng is really arguing with Lambert. You said he never goes out and just stays at home reading all day! Are you really that free?
He doesn't play the suona when the Lamberts are not at home, but as soon as Lambert comes home, the suona will definitely sound "wow wow wow".
We can't just kick the Lambert family out, right?
Worry and worry, worry will turn your hair white...
Gerard was still worried when his cell phone rang. He quickly picked up the phone: This is a church and we can't disturb others praying!
Gerald walked out of the church quickly and asked, "What happened?"
The person who called was the security captain of the La Ciotat Villa area. It must be bad news if he called me!
Sure enough, the security captain said in an urgent voice: "Boss, please come back quickly, something big is going to happen!"
Gerard's heart skipped a beat: "What happened?"
"The Lyon man named Lambert took people to the Chinese man's house to cause trouble!" said the security captain.
Gerrard was shocked when he heard this. "Is Lambert crazy? How dare you bring people to cause trouble while Xiao Peng is at home? Do you want to get shot?"
If I illegally break into someone's house and get shot, it's all for nothing! If a dispute breaks out and a murder occurs in the upscale community I'm in charge of, I, as the community leader, will definitely be held responsible!
Thinking of this, his eyes went dark and he almost fainted! He quickly got in the car and rushed to Xiao Peng's house!
When he arrived, there was a group of people blocking Xiao Peng's door.
Upon closer inspection, they all turned out to be residents in the community who had been poisoned by Xiao Peng, and everyone was very emotional!
"You're going too far! You blow it every day, every day. Don't you give me a break?"
"Yesterday, my wife and I were being intimate at home, and suddenly a suona sound frightened me so much that I almost fainted! Are you responsible for any problems I get from being frightened?"
"You must give us an explanation today! Otherwise, this matter will not end!"
"We need to find the media to expose him! We need to call the police!"
Gerrard was horrified when he heard that they were going to contact the media. This matter couldn't be made a big deal! He quickly squeezed in: "Make way!"
After he finally squeezed in, he saw that Lambert and a few strong men were standing in the front. They also found a car to block Xiao Peng's gate tightly. Xiao Peng was sitting in the yard, reading a book with an e-reader in his hand, and he didn't pay any attention to the people outside the door.
"Gerald!" Residents saw Gerald and shouted, "Hurry up and fix this! This guy is seriously affecting our lives!"
"Right, right, right! If you don't solve this, I'll report this to the media!"
Gerard smiled wryly and motioned for everyone to be quiet. He moved to the front and greeted through the fence, "Mr. Xiao? Mr. Xiao?"
As a result, Xiao Peng didn't react. Upon closer inspection, he saw that he was wearing earphones!
Everyone saw Gerard go around to the other side of the fence, dancing and shouting to attract Xiao Peng's attention. He didn't dare throw a stone at Xiao Peng, because that would be illegal!
His efforts were not in vain, as Xiao Peng finally saw him out of the corner of his eye.
"Gerald, what are you doing? Performing pantomime?" Xiao Peng took off his headphones and greeted Gerald.
Jerad smiled bitterly and said, “Mr. Xiao, why don’t you take a look at your surroundings!”
Xiao Peng looked around at the people around him: "What? Are you here to listen to the music? I didn't expect you to be so enthusiastic! OK! I'll play a song to fulfill everyone's wishes!"
