Director Li deliberately didn't want to listen to his son, but thinking of his son's warning, he hesitated for a while.
Just when he was hesitating, his wife, Aunt Cai, spoke up: "Old man, you can't lose your position as director. And you've been dismissed. How can we gain a foothold in the community in the future? Without being laughed at to death?"
Director Li said helplessly: "My son has said so. He is a big shot that our son cannot afford to offend. What if we confront him and he retaliates against our son?"
Aunt Cai said: "It's true that he is a big shot, but my son is too cautious. Our family didn't know this Chen Feng before, and we have no grievances. Although he agrees to remove you this time, I think he will suffer the consequences of Mrs. Zhao and Xiao
Panpan, that little charlatan, is bewitched. In addition, it may also have something to do with your proposal to upgrade the security access control system this time. So, you just need to take the initiative to go to this person's door to ask for his opinion. If he really objects to your proposal.
You should withdraw this proposal immediately. If there is no objection, of course it would be better. You can also take the opportunity to have a good relationship with him, and maybe it will be of some help to our son's future in the future."
Director Li seemed to make sense when he heard it, but he still hesitated and said: "If he has a good relationship with Mrs. Zhao or Xiao Panpan, wouldn't I be asking for trouble by sending him to his door?"
"Anyway, it's not wrong to give it a try. Since he is a big shot, as the director of the property committee, you should take the initiative to visit him. It's best if you can make friends. If not, you can take the initiative to show your kindness.
, he will not deliberately target you. If you can be thicker-skinned, having a good relationship with him will only do us good and no harm."
Aunt Cai's words still sound reasonable.
But Director Li still felt a bit embarrassed and said with an embarrassed look on his face: "I heard that Chen Feng is only in his thirties. I am so old and still go to visit him with all my face. Where can I put my old face?"
When Aunt Cai heard this, she immediately said angrily: "In order to be promoted to a small section chief, you gave gifts to flatter me, so you had to kneel down and call me daddy for Manager Li. Manager Li was several years younger than you at the time. What did you do at that time?
Don’t you feel ashamed?”
When Director Li heard that his wife had revealed his past, he immediately became unhappy and defended himself: "Can it be the same back then as now? I was only in my forties back then, in the prime of life, and now I'm retired."
Aunt Cai revealed ruthlessly: "I think you are used to being flattered by others in the past two years, and you turn around to please others. You can't lose your face all of a sudden. Don't think about your old face. It's really ugly."
Is it valuable?”
Upon hearing this, Director Li retorted angrily: "Isn't my face valuable?"
Aunt Cai persuaded in a gentle tone: "You are so old, you should understand that the most valuable thing in the world is face, and the least valuable thing is face. For ordinary people, or people with the same status as you, your
Face is valuable, but to a big shot like Chen Feng, your face is worthless. Besides, you are not asked to go to your home and kneel down to beg for mercy. Instead, you are asked to do a home visit as the director of the community owners committee, and you don’t even have to
To give a gift, just go over and knock on the door with empty hands. In this way, you won't lose any face."
Director Li actually listened to what Aunt Cai said. After being silent for a while, he said, "What if I go there and they don't see me at all?"
When Aunt Cai heard this, she became very angry and said loudly: "You didn't even go, how do you know that people don't see you? What can you accomplish with your hesitation like this? They will hold a meeting with the owners at noon tomorrow.
The general meeting is here, you just wait to be dismissed by them then. Where will you put your old face then?"
Director Li was still a bit of a henpeck, and his momentum immediately weakened when he heard this, but he still defended himself: "We can use the connections of several people in the business committee now to persuade everyone not to vote in favor of the recall motion.
We have a total of six people in the owners' committee, which accounts for more than one-eighth of all owners. As long as half of the people do not vote in favor, they will not be able to remove us. I can give them a
I’ll call them all, I’m sure they won’t disrespect me.”
Aunt Cai said angrily: "Are you confused? Our son has told you several times not to offend this Chen Feng. Now that he is deposing you, Chen Feng is the leader. Everyone knows this,
They all turned to Mrs. Zhao and Xiao Panpan. If you deliberately seek votes now, it would be like slapping Chen Feng in the face. You will confront him directly. What if he retaliates against our son? "
Director Li couldn't help but frown when he heard this. This is not possible, and that is not possible. It seems that the only option left is to come to visit the dock.
"Don't give me any hesitation. Go and clean up now and visit his house right away. It's not far anyway. Hurry up and change into a more energetic set of clothes."
Director Li had no choice but to go upstairs to change clothes, then deliberately and slowly went to the bathroom to get dressed. After he was done, he stood in front of the mirror to do his hair, comb it and apply mousse.
After Aunt Cai urged her loudly, he reluctantly came out of the bathroom and went downstairs.
"How about I visit again tomorrow morning. It's already past eight o'clock now, which is a bit late."
Before leaving the house, Director Li hesitated again.
Aunt Cai immediately glared and pushed him out the door without saying anything nonsense.
Director Li had no choice but to sigh and walk towards the 25th villa on Chen Feng's side.
The villa where their family is located is the ninth one, which is relatively close to the gate of the community. The location in the community is not very good, while Chen Feng's 25th villa is in the middle of the community. The location is of course better.
It can even be said to be the best, which can be directly seen from the housing prices.
Villas located in the middle of the community are more expensive.
The distance between the two families was actually less than 200 meters, but Director Li had to walk for more than ten minutes to get there.
Standing in front of the gate of Villa No. 25, Director Li did some mental preparation before he stepped forward and rang the doorbell.
At this time, Chen Feng and Sun Xiaorui were still watching TV in the living room on the first floor.
Not long after Chen Feng answered Xiao Panpan's call, the two of them suddenly heard the doorbell. They couldn't help but look at each other, wondering who was going to ring the doorbell so late.
Chen Feng stood up and walked over to look at the video doorbell screen and saw Director Li.
Chen Feng didn't know him, but after thinking about it, Chen Feng still asked the video doorbell: "Who are you looking for?"
Director Li, who was standing at the door facing the camera, immediately put on a smile and said: "Hello, Mr. Chen, my name is Li Quanyou, and I am the director of our community property committee. I have taken the liberty to come over and interrupt you. I would like to interview you.
Some suggestions or opinions on the work of our community property committee."
When Chen Feng heard what he said, he immediately understood.
Obviously Director Li already knew that he was about to be dismissed and also knew his identity, so he came to look for him overnight.
After Chen Feng thought for a moment, he said: "I have no suggestions for your business committee."
Anyway, the recall motion will be voted on tomorrow, and he really has no suggestions or opinions at this time.
Director Li became a little anxious when he heard what he said, and immediately said: "Mr. Chen, I heard that you have objections to me and the Owners Committee, that's why you support the removal and dissolution of the Owners Committee. I came here specifically to express my gratitude to you."
You apologize and want to ask for your specific opinions and suggestions. If we have done something wrong, just point it out and we will work hard to correct it."
Director Li directly explained the purpose of his visit this time.
Seeing this, Chen Feng said: "I heard that your property owners committee puts forward many proposals every year that require the owners to pay. For example, this time to upgrade the security system, each household will be given 100,000 yuan. I don't think it is necessary.
The security in our community is very good now. Even if there are any deficiencies, the property management company can definitely pay for it. We owners have already paid property fees, so it makes no sense to have to spend so much extra money. Even if our owners here have
Money can’t be given out from time to time like this.”
When Li Quanyou heard that Chen Feng was indeed dissatisfied with the proposal he made to upgrade the security system, he immediately said: "After listening to what you said, I suddenly realized that this proposal is indeed a bit hasty, and I immediately rejected it.
I will make an announcement in the owner group later. I promise you that in the future, I will try my best not to do any project that requires the owners to spend money. Even if I want to do it, all the owners must agree."
Chen Feng said directly: "Director Li, you must also know that someone is organizing to remove you and the property owners committee, and has won the support of most of the community owners. Therefore, I personally suggest that you resign voluntarily, so that everyone can live with it.
"
When Li Quanyou heard this, his heart suddenly went cold. Resigning voluntarily would indeed look better on his face than stepping down after the recall motion was passed.
But he still wants to be the director, otherwise why would he come to visit this time?
"Mr. Chen, you may have some misunderstandings about me. The proposals I made before were also to make our community better and make us safer and happier living here..."
"Okay, Director Li, I have said everything I need to say. I have never been involved in things in the community. I like to live my own life quietly. It was you who caused this this time
After spending money to propose, I decided to support everyone in removing you and the owners committee. I think it is not appropriate for you to serve as the director of the owners committee again, so you should step down first."
Chen Feng's words were clear enough, but Li Quanyou was still unwilling to give in. He immediately said: "Mr. Chen, as long as you don't attend the owners' meeting tomorrow and don't support the recall motion, let me continue to be the director. I will listen to you in the future."
your."
Chen Feng was speechless for a while, thinking to himself, what's the use of asking you to listen to me? You're already so old, but for the sake of being the director of a property committee, you have to bow your head to a "young man" like him and say this.
Like words of allegiance?
Chen Feng said helplessly: "Don't be like this, you are so old, save yourself some face."
Li Quanyou shamelessly continued: "Mr. Chen, I know it was Xiao Panpan and Aunt Zhao who said a lot of bad things about me to you, giving you a preconceived bad impression of me. But in fact, I am a decent person.
Dezhi has served as the director of the community's property committee for more than two years. I would not say that he has always been conscientious, but he has also tried his best to do his job perfectly.
The money-spending proposals I made before were really for the good of our community. I tried to make the accounts as clear as possible every time and sent them to the owner group for everyone to check and supervise. I really did not benefit myself from those projects.
, God can testify..."
Chen Feng patiently listened to him for a while, but eventually became impatient and interrupted him again: "Okay, Director Li, it's useless for you to tell me this. I'm just an ordinary owner and I can't influence other owners.
idea.”
Li Quanyou smiled bitterly and said: "Mr. Chen, please stop joking. A big shot like you can directly influence other people's votes with just one statement. If you don't go to the meeting tomorrow, or express your support for me in the owner group,
I can continue to serve as the director of the property owners committee, and the recall motion will not be passed."
Chen Feng said directly: "I'm sorry, Xiao Panpan called me ten minutes ago. I have promised her to attend the owners' meeting tomorrow. I can't go back on my word. Let's put it this way."
After Chen Feng finished speaking, he hung up the call on the video doorbell.
Li Quanyou outside the gate was stunned for a while before he realized what he was doing. He wanted to ring the doorbell again, but finally gave up.
Chen Feng has made his words very clear, and as he just said, Chen Feng already has a bad impression of him. Moreover, it seems that Xiao Panpan has known Chen Feng for a long time, and should have some relationship.
So, how could he compare with Xiao Panpan?
If it were anyone else, he could just use the identity of his daughter and son to pressure others and force them to agree.
But when encountering a powerful figure like Chen Feng with a notorious reputation, if he revealed the identity of his daughter and son, he would probably bring disaster upon them.
Li Quanyou stood outside the gate for a long time, and finally he could only sigh, turn around and walk back.
…
In the living room.
Chen Feng returned to the sofa and sat down again. Sun Xiaorui asked curiously about Director Li. She had just heard some, but not very clearly.
Chen Feng briefly told her, and after hearing this, Sun Xiaorui couldn't help complaining: "Director Li has been the director for more than two years, and he still refuses to leave and wants to continue to be the director. This person is also too addicted to officialdom.
That’s right. The director of the industry committee is not an official yet.”
Chen Feng smiled, shook his head and said: "He is mainly used to being flattered by people in the community. After all, he has two promising children. If he is dismissed this time, his face will be greatly lost. In the future, people in the community will
People will no longer flatter him as much as before."
Sun Xiaorui said: "Your reputation outside seems to be greater than that of his daughter and son, and you are more intimidating. Otherwise, Director Li would not come here to show your kindness and seek support."
Chen Feng said slightly proudly: "Probably, but my reputation outside is not a good one, it is a bad reputation. People fear me more than they respect me."
Sun Xiaorui smiled and said: "A bad name is not bad, it is better than no name at all."
Chen Feng also smiled, nodded and said, "That's true. If you have a bad reputation, you can avoid a lot of trouble."
