Chapter 308 I Have Someone Behind Me
"It seems that Miss Tan is not only a bad person, but also has poor hearing." Cheng Shuyan chuckled, then said slowly and deliberately, "I said, our company is unwilling. If I had known that your Tan Group's management was so lax, even condoning its employees to embezzle the property fees and electricity bills paid by the owners, I would have switched to a different property management company long ago. But it's good that it's been exposed now, at least it allows me to stop the losses in time."
Yunzhi rarely saw Cheng Shuyan so sharp-tongued. She smiled and almost burst out laughing. On the other end of the phone, she heard Miss Tan breathing heavily, clearly very angry with Cheng Shuyan.
However, she wasn't entirely stupid. Even if she knew that the people under her command weren't clean, and even turned a blind eye to them, she would never admit it, especially not over the phone. Who knew if Cheng Shuyan had recorded it?
"Cheng Shuyan, what nonsense are you talking about? How could I possibly condone my subordinates doing such a thing? Our company is also a victim, we..." Ms. Tan was indignant, trying to put herself in the position of the victim, but before she could finish speaking, Cheng Shuyan impatiently interrupted her.
"Victim? Whether you know about it or not, your company is poorly managed. We will hold those responsible accountable for the Jinshang Tiancheng incident as soon as possible. We hope that your claim of ignorance can quell public anger. Also, if you intend to use public opinion to incite the homeowners, I advise you to give up now."
Cheng Shuyan paused here, then his voice suddenly turned cold.
"The issue of your Tan's Property Management charging fees arbitrarily and lining your own pockets has been reported to us by more than just one community's homeowner representatives. You have angered Fan Zhongyan. I wonder if President Tan will be able to accept the fact that your Tan Group has fallen from a leading position to a third-rate one after he recovers."
Cheng Shuyan originally intended to give the Tan family face out of consideration for President Tan and their long-standing cooperation, and not to pursue the series of breaches of contract that Tan's Property had committed during the contract period. However, even though he had already decided not to pursue the matter, some people still insisted on coming forward, so he would not be polite.
Ms. Tan on the other end of the phone, her previous arrogance completely gone, turned pale. Her grip on the phone tightened, and she gritted her teeth, repeating, "In this matter, Tan's is also a victim. Even if President Cheng wants to hold someone accountable, he should hold the culprit accountable, not Tan's."
Although Miss Tan is not too stupid, she is definitely not smart either. A smart person would not do something so full of flaws. Before she finished speaking, Yunzhi, who was standing next to her, curled her lips. President Tan must love his daughter very much, which is why he raised her to be so naive and even a little stupid.
"Ms. Tan, you should save those words for the judge. Also, if you have time, Ms. Tan, take a look at the contract we signed. If you had, you wouldn't have said such a ridiculous thing." Cheng Shuyan said, and then hung up the phone.
Ms. Tan listened to the busy tone on the other end of the phone. After a moment of confusion, she was filled with fear. As if grasping at the last straw, she desperately dialed a number, but no one answered the phone, and even after the phone was turned off, no one answered her calls.
An overwhelming sense of unease nearly overwhelmed her. The reason she was so reckless was because she had someone backing her up. Even if she and Cheng Shuyan really broke up in the end, the Tan family wouldn't suffer too much loss. Who knew that person would even stop answering her calls?
"Liar!" Ms. Tan broke down and swept the things off her desk onto the floor, making a loud clattering sound. Soon, the once tidy office was a mess.
At this moment, a man rushed in looking flustered. "Mr. Tan, something terrible has happened! Look online! Everyone's criticizing Tan's Property Management. Pengcheng Real Estate is even blaming our property management for the power outage at Jinshang Tiancheng."
Although it is indeed because their property management company was in a position of power but failed to fulfill its responsibilities.
Pengcheng Real Estate is a real estate company under Cheng Shuyan's company.
Miss Tan didn't expect Cheng Shuyan's counterattack to come so quickly. Her expression changed, and she quickly opened her phone, only to find that the online public opinion had completely reversed. Her Tan's Property had become a stepping stone for Pengcheng Real Estate to reach new heights. The bigger the momentum they created this morning, the fiercer their counterattack is now.
If the Tan family could provide evidence to prove that Pengcheng Real Estate was just making things up, that would be fine, but the Tan family simply cannot provide any evidence.
[So we're being treated like fools? No wonder I found it a bit strange when I first saw this trending topic. Why would someone blame the real estate company for a power outage in a residential complex? Shouldn't it be the property management company's problem? Now I realize it's because Pengcheng Real Estate wants to change property management companies, and someone's desperate.]
[This isn't the first time Tan's Property Management has run into trouble. I've truly experienced the meaning of "big companies bullying their customers." My family used to live in Red Coral, and the security guards at the gate were incredibly arrogant, acting like Red Coral was their private property. Because my new car's photos hadn't been entered into the community's computer system yet, it took me a whole hour to get them to raise the barrier when I drove out of the community at noon. I ended up having to give everyone a pack of cigarettes before they would leave. That same day, I listed my Red Coral apartment for sale on the platform.]
[And another thing, Tan's Property Management collected property management fees for the next five years this year, saying that they would only require payment every five years thereafter. However, I feel like they're planning to run away and make a quick buck. They didn't make my family pay, and now it seems they really are preparing to abscond.]
As more and more people expose the issue online, the stock price of the Tan Group has been declining, which has caused dissatisfaction among many shareholders, who are demanding that Ms. Tan resolve the problem as soon as possible, or they will vote to replace the chairman.
In her desperation, Ms. Tan made a foolish decision online, claiming that Tan's Property Management was unaware of the actions taken by its employees and that they were also victims. Her constant attempts to elicit sympathy, without offering any solutions or apologies, only fueled the consumer's anger.
[This isn't the first or second time that your Tan's Property Management has run into problems. I even reported it to your head office, but they kept brushing us off and now they're telling us you knew nothing about it. Do you think we're fools?]
[Do you believe Tan's Property Management was unaware, or do you believe I am Qin Shi Huang?]
[For such a large company to have such a major blunder, and not just one person, this is clearly part of their corporate culture—everyone copying each other, and they still claim ignorance? I just laugh.]
