Hong Kong Film: Jimmy? Please call me Councillor Li

Chapter 20: Queuing to Pay Property Management Fees
Behind the tree, Li Jiayuan covered his ears, feeling like his eardrums were about to pierce.

So he walked out and slapped the woman, but only on the head, not hard.

When she saw it was a human, the woman's fear finally dissipated, but at the same time she felt ashamed and angry. She had just said so much, and it was all heard by this person.

"How dare you eavesdrop on people's conversations?"

As the woman spoke, tears seemed about to fall again.

Li Jiayuan: “.”

"Who eavesdropped on you? I was here first, and you disturbed my sleep."

The woman blinked her beautiful eyes, not knowing what she was thinking.

"Here. Sleep?"

It was then that Li Jiayuan discovered that the woman in front of him actually had short hair and slightly red and swollen eyes that were bright and beautiful. Her eyes were very special.

They were the most beautiful pair of eyes Li Jiayuan had ever seen. Her facial features were very recognizable, a very special kind of beauty, probably because she had short hair.

The woman wanted to retort, but a strange voice outside interrupted them.

"Brother Yuan"

It was Long Wu. Because Li Jiayuan had been in the mountains for too long, he was worried about an accident, so he brought his bodyguards to find him.

When the woman saw the man in a suit and tie who looked like a bodyguard, she looked at Li Jiayuan in shock.

"Well, let's go."

Li Jiayuan didn't go down the mountain and didn't say another word to the woman.

However, Long Wu looked at the woman deeply before leaving.

Soon, the woman was the only one left on the mountain, and it took him a long time to come to his senses.

"strange."

It's obvious that this guy is not a serious person. Who normally goes out with so many bodyguards? Does he think he is the boss of a gang in the movie?

Bowring Street

Five days have passed since the merchants signed the contract, and after the last contract, this matter seemed to have never existed.

Many merchants feel as if they have been cheated, and there is no protection at all.

Fang Datong was one of the people who signed the contract. He ran a fruit shop and thugs often came here to get things for free and collect protection money. If they didn't pay them, they would make trouble.

As things went on, he could no longer tolerate it and signed a contract with Jiayuan Property.

But since the contract was signed, there has been no actual effect. After all, there are no gangsters causing trouble for the time being.

But because of this incident, several of his business friends laughed at him, saying that he had too much money to burn and was cheated.

Although he was very unhappy, he did have this feeling over the past few days. But when he thought about it, the young boss that day didn't look like a liar, and there really was a property management company on their street.

It’s right at the end of Bowring Street, and the company has opened one, so it can’t be fake, right?
Just as Fang Datong was thinking, he suddenly heard a noise nearby.

"Hey, hey, hey, you paid the protection fee, and you always have to tell me. Have you ever been beaten?"

“Your hands are full of delicious braised food.”

The owner of the clothing store next door was trembling and fawning as he took out his money, looking as humble as he could be.

This area is He Liansheng's territory. They have been scared and used to being beaten. If they don't pay, there will be the same fate.

Boss Zhao took out two hundred yuan and looked at Fang Datong next to him with a gloating look. Although he was unlucky, someone would be even more unlucky soon.

Not only did he lose a thousand yuan, he still had to pay the protection fee, otherwise these thugs would not let him go. They really thought that the people from Liansheng were easy to mess with.

At this time, Fang Datong was also struggling in his mind, wondering whether they should give the protection fee to those thugs or not.

If we don't give them money, they will probably still cause trouble. This business has to go on and we can't offend these people.

Well, in the end, Fang Datong decided to use money to settle the matter. As for the property management company, just consider it as being cheated and don't give it next time.

Fang Datong had already taken out the Hong Kong dollars and was ready to hand them over, but he saw that group of gangsters actually walked past his shop.

That's right, they flew past. The leader looked at his house number, then took his little brothers and passed by quietly.

I had no intention of going in at all.

At this moment, Fang Datong felt as if he had been hit by a huge attack from ten thousand tons of force in his heart, and he was unable to react for a while.

Those little thugs don’t even come to collect protection fees?

What the hell happened today?
The owner of the shop next door who was waiting to see Fang Datong get into trouble was also dumbfounded. No, what are you doing?

According to the procedures, shouldn't he be the neighbor? Why don't you collect protection fees from him? Are you blind?

"Boss, he hasn't paid the protection fee yet."

Fang Datong wanted to kill someone and wanted to rush up and punch that guy twice. He was so disgusting among the neighbors.

A few thugs sneered and ignored the shop owner, but looked at Fang Datong.

"You paid the property management fee to Jiayuan Property, right?"

Fang Datong nodded woodenly.

"Yes."

After the gangsters finished speaking, they turned around and left without saying anything else.

But before leaving, a few thugs were still shouting.

"Boss, that home property is nothing. If it were you, I'd still rob him."

Before he could finish his words, he was beaten.

"Don't make trouble, I'm warning you, we can't mess with Homestead."

It was not until the gangsters ran away that Fang Datong and the shop owner were struck by lightning.

I still don’t understand why they didn’t charge protection fees. It turns out it was because of the home property management.

The owner of the shop next door was completely devastated. Only then did he realize that he seemed to have missed something.

That Jiayuan Property Management is really that powerful, those thugs from Liansheng don’t dare to touch them. As long as they pay protection money, they won’t be harassed!!!
The shop owner was so heartbroken. Just because of his cleverness, he lost two hundred yuan today.

"Ah, Lao Zhang, why aren't you smiling? Don't you like to laugh?"

Fang Datong came over excitedly and gloated, feeling extremely glad for his decision. It was a wise choice for him to pay the property management fee. Now these gangsters didn't dare to come and collect protection fees.

That young boss really does what he says, he is so amazing.

At this moment, Fang Datong felt infinite respect for Li Jiayuan.

They are businessmen who have been bullied for years. Now there is finally someone who can stand up to protect them, and he is not asking for benefits by helping them.

But how can they not be grateful to the people who actually solved their problems? After all, even the government cannot solve these problems.

This scene is not an isolated case, but is happening on a large scale on Bowring Street.

Some stores were bullied by thugs from other gangs, but in less than a minute, they were caught and beaten to death by people from Jiayuan Property Management.

"Don't worry, since you've paid the property management fee, we at Homeland Property will definitely take care of it. If they come again, you can go to the company to find us."

“good good”

Those merchants who had witnessed the actions of Jiayuan Property and had not paid the property fees all regretted it. After arranging staff to look after the stores, they all rushed to the stores on Bowring Street to sign contracts.

There were so many people that it was impossible to squeeze in.
