214: Chapter 214: Official Whitewashing Team 214: Chapter 214: Official Whitewashing Team “Excuse , excuse ,” just then, more vehicles rushed to the scene.
A group of people carrying professional equipnt erged, accompanied by so who were clearly not ordinary people.
“Everyone, please step aside, we are here to provide an explanation.”
Liao Feng had thought that more journalists were arriving.
Unexpectedly, although many journalists did co, they brought along so very familiar faces.
Wasn’t that the local leader, and that person, wasn’t he the legal advisor from the bureau?
Seeing these familiar faces, Liao Feng realized that he probably could no longer control the situation.
“Hmph, I’d like to see how they’re going to explain this now that they’ve stirred up so many people,” Qian Duo said with ill intentions.
“Shut up, what happens next is none of our business anymore, we just need to keep order,” the youngster, inexperienced, wondered if that young man was going to be unlucky.
Moreover, everything about this incident seed odd, as if soone was targeting Zhao Guang.
Qian Duo was influenced by her subjective impressions, affecting her judgnt, but she would understand later, no explanation needed.
The local leader stepped forward and gave a slight bow to everyone: “This ti, our work was not up to par, which led to public doubts.
I hereby offer my deepest apologies.
Next, I will give everyone a response.”
A person pulled out a docunt and said, “This is a notice from our higher-ups, along with so records of etings.
Last month, after our discussions, it was decided to establish a new University City.”
“We selected a few places, but finally, after unanimous discussion, we decided on this location.
The notice had just been issued and had not yet reached the localities; ostensibly, this matter should not have been known to the public.”
With that statent from the leader, everyone was led astray.
Indeed, how could a matter that should be unknown be known everywhere?
They were under the impression that soone had accidentally spoken about it and it had been spread around and turned into a rumor.
The leader showed the docunt to everyone, who could clearly see the dates recorded on it.
“Afterward, we will make these docunts public online for everyone to inspect themselves.”
With official records, everyone believed it.
At that mont, people from the law firm also ca over, showing so relevant docunts to the journalists.
“Look over here, these are stubs of our sales contracts, clearly recording the ti the hoowners sold their houses.
As you can see, the earliest sale took place more than two months ago.”
The old lady also ca forward, slightly embarrassed, “I had no other choice.
They all ca to demanding answers, so I had to bring them here.” She was a bit ashad.
Many people around looked at the old lady with disapproving glances.
Well, it looks like these neighbors could no longer be relied upon.
Luckily, she had earned a sizable commission from selling the houses earlier, so she thought about starting anew sowhere else.
Yet, she was reluctant to leave this area close to the university.
Although she had sold her house, her own ho was not far from here and was still within the range of University City.
The man continued, “Look, these contracts all have dates on them.
Our employer bought the houses in full, with no disputes or unclear elents during the period.
The most recent transaction was over a month ago.”
“Right, people bought houses more than a month ago, while discussions about University City started only after that,” he said.
“I think so too, it must be that they got the information beforehand, probably foreseen,” soone added.
Seeing people starting to stray off topic, those hoowners beca anxious.
“Nonsense, discussions on such matters can’t be that short.
There must have been records much earlier; they surely colluded,” a fat man loudly voiced his suspicion.
At that mont, a person stepped forward: “Guo Liu, the hoowner’s nephew.
Since he’s uneducated and unemployed, he’s been unable to marry because his family is penniless.”
“How, how did you know that?” the fat man blanched, embarrassed to have such private matters disclosed publicly.
“You incited your uncle to create trouble here and even brought others with you, claiming all the promised compensation would be shared with you.
You also arranged for people to cause trouble here at night, right?”
“That’s absurd; I would never do such a thing, you’re slandering .”
“The people you hired have already been caught, and everything will be clear after they are interrogated.
Don’t think they will keep secrets for you,” the other man said confidently, making the fat man waver.
“You, you’re all in this together; I have sothing else to do, I need to leave,” the fat man turned and ran.
But no one chased after him; where could he really run to, after all?
Just then, a ticulously dressed middle-aged man ca forward: “Hello everyone, let analyze this situation for you.
This case is essentially an economic one, but we can analyze it from other angles as well.”
“Who are you, and what are you talking here?” soone asked.
“A professor of economics at the provincial university.
Originally, the school asked to inspect the campus.
Even though it has split, we’re still one family,” he explained.
The crowd was puzzled; the school had been split up, so how could it still be one family?
“Professor, when you say analyzing from other aspects, how exactly should we view this?” At that mont, their own accompanying journalists started to assist, while the earlier ones dared not breathe too hard.
These journalists knew who these people were, all damn higher-ups from their own ranks; they wouldn’t dare to speak out of turn.
The professor confidently stated, “First, let analyze this—if the information had been leaked early, then he shouldn’t have bought the nearby hos but should have directly purchased that land.”
“After acquiring the land, simply building sothing on it, and when it’s ti to build University City, he would receive a lot more in compensation, and thus earn much more, right?” he explained.
“That’s true.
And what if he wanted a long-term revenue-generating project?” soone queried.
The professor and journalists continued interacting: “If it were a long-term project, he wouldn’t just buy this neighbourhood, but many surrounding ones too; the more he bought, the greater his returns would be.”
“Besides, buying a residential area isn’t the best investnt; the best investnt is to buy the surrounding vacant land.
There’s plenty of wasteland here.
As long as it’s bought up, whether converted to housing or comrcial streets, the returns would be continuous,” he concluded.
