It was already November, yet the Autumn Tiger was still fierce.
For the residents of Yuefu Residential Complex, the past few months had been too lively.
However, no one really knew what the benefits of establishing the hoowners' association were, they had only heard that there would be so.
Auntie Ge yawned as she went downstairs to dump the trash, only to be greeted by a foul sll before she even got close.
Upon closer inspection, she discovered that the several large garbage bins downstairs had been piled high, and not only that, there was also a significant amount of garbage outside the bins.
"What's going on here? The garbage bins are so full, why has nobody taken them out?" Auntie Ge complained dissatisfiedly.
She imdiately took photos to share in the chat group, but once she entered the group, she saw that many neighbors were already discussing the issue.
"I say, what's the situation here, what happened to the garbage bins? Doesn't anyone care to manage this?"
"Yeah, what's going on? I live on the first floor, and the sll of the garbage is even coming into my ho!"
The chat was filled with various voices, and at that mont, a reply appeared.
"I just went to the property managent to ask, and they said that now that you've established a hoowners' association, all community matters have to be decided by the association, and they can't handle it."
As soon as these words ca out, the whole group erupted.
It wasn't long before a hoowner nad Lv Xueli spoke up, "Just look at this ss for yourselves. I said from the start that forming this hoowners' association was nonsense, and now it's even worse than when the property managent was in charge!"
He just couldn't stand that Tang fellow, and he had to speak up whenever he noticed issues like these.
As expected, the chat erupted into argunt.
Those who understood the situation felt that cleaning up the trash was the property managent's responsibility, and establishing a hoowners' association had nothing to do with it, since they collected property managent fees.
But so people simply wouldn't listen.
"Don't talk about all this irrelevant stuff. What did those people say when they established the hoowners' association, huh? They said the association was for the benefit of everyone. Look at the result now, 'Wang Xia'er's New Year's celebration is worse every year,' isn't that so? So why do we even need them, this hoowners' association!"
"Exactly, let's find them. Who's the chairperson of the hoowners' association again, Tang Fangjing?"
"No, it's soone nad Liu Jianjun, let's go, let's all go together!"
On the other side, at the property managent front desk, a few mbers of the hoowners' association stood with bitter expressions on their faces.
Poor hoowners' association, only established for a few days and with nothing to show for it, had encountered such an issue, and so mbers were even considering disbanding.
Old Liu was wondering whether to explain the situation to everyone... Of course, he knew what was going on, given he was Director Hou's "own man."
At that mont, Tang Fangjing's voice rang out: "What are you all standing around for?"
Seeing Lawyer Tang, the group looked as if they had seen a savior. Zhao Ruixia hurriedly said, "Lawyer Tang, what's going on here? This is our third ti coming, and the property managent says Director Hou is not here, and as for when he'll be back, they don't know."
"I also went to the district office and the property managent departnt about the garbage issue. They said that since a hoowners' association had been established, it should temporarily be resolved through the association's own communication. How did this happen, does the establishnt of the hoowners' association an no one will take charge?"
Tang Fangjing gestured to stop talking further. One of the drawbacks of establishing a hoowners' association was that relevant departnts would step back halfway, and many issues would be pushed onto the hoowners' association.
If the property managent does not provide services, then you, the hoowners' association, can dismiss them, right—that's your reason.
Of course, their stepping back halfway only ant they didn't want to deal with troubleso matters; when it ca to interests, even the general eting of hoowners could pause their actions within minutes…
Upon arriving at the property managent front desk, Tang Fangjing directly asked, "In accordance with the authorization of the general eting of hoowners, the hoowners' association requests the property managent provide the public inco ledger. We have already sent a demand letter. What's with the delay?"
"Also, why hasn't the garbage in the complex been collected today?"
The man standing at the front desk, a middle-aged male, now spoke, "I'm not very clear on this matter myself; we have to wait for our General Manager Hou to return."
"Then is there anyone who can reach him? Do you even have soone in charge here?"
The man, Manager Shan, shook his head again, "I really don't know about that; maybe you could ask around yourself..."
Old Liu looked around and then said, "You see? That's exactly the answer we got after asking for a while. This is just playing dumb!"
Playing dumb seems like an old trick, but sotis it's very effective.
The hoowners' committee had just been established with nothing to its na, and property managent was uncooperative, resulting in all kinds of trouble and confusion.
Tang Fangjing spoke up, "Everyone, please don't panic. Let's take things one step at a ti. Sister Zhao, you go to the bank with our docunts and open a public account for the hoowners' committee, yes, get it done today, and quickly."
"Then, Uncle Qian, since the residents are upset about not having a place to dump their trash, let's address that issue. Contact the garbage removal personnel and take care of the current garbage problem—I'll front the money..."
The other mbers of the hoowners' committee were all surprised. Uncle Qian hesitated, "Young Tang, fronting the money... isn't such a good idea. If things don't work out, we can take our ti, no need to rush and put up the money..."
The main issue was that if he fronted the money, what would the rest of them do?
The committee didn't even have operating funds now. Everyone was willing to volunteer, but fronting money was a bit too much, wasn't it? Why the need to exert oneself to this extent...
"Right, Lawyer Tang, we could also put up so money, but that won't solve the problem. If we can't find anyone and they keep stalling like this, are we going to front the money every day?" Zhao Ruixia also spoke up.
Tang Fangjing quickly said, "We can't drag this out, and there's no need for everyone to put up money. Besides, rest assured, we will definitely find General Manager Hou. If we can't, the police surely can."
What? Upon hearing this, everyone was slightly taken aback, wondering what was going on.
"But Old Tang, when we talked before, didn't we agree to sue the property managent company to reclaim the public revenues from the past ten-plus years? Why are you bringing up the police now?" Old Liu asked urgently.
The committee had tried to find General Manager Hou several tis, and each ti he "proactively" tipped them off, so they had started to gain his trust a little.
"Old Liu, to sue the property managent company and reclaim money, we first have to audit the books, right? Whether it's a judicial appraisal or entrusting an accounting firm for auditing, it requires money, doesn't it? Tell , where will the money co from?"
"From crowdfunding among the hoowners? Believe it or not, if this news gets out today, tomorrow we'll be reported and removed from our posts."
Suddenly, no one spoke, as by now everyone clearly understood the hoowners' thoughts. Just the issue of garbage disposal had already caused such a commotion; if they dared to ntion collecting more money...
"Moreover, if we start auditing the accounts, will the property managent cooperate? Of course not. They will do everything possible to delay."
And ti is the biggest cost, for others as well as for Tang Fangjing himself.
As ti passes, people lose interest. If it gets dragged to the term of the next hoowners' committee, conflicts over legal rights between the two terms will arise, resulting in a complete ss.
Don't find it strange; in reality, many hoowners' committees that have tried to defend their rights end up without a resolution because they are dragged on like this, as they can't unify within the hoowners' group.
A hoowners' committee that really manages to perform well is one that's exceptionally united.
"So, either do nothing, or do it thoroughly!"
Still playing hide-and-seek as if this is child's play, but for Tang Fangjing, this is a fight to the death!
The others stood there, staring blankly at Tang Fangjing in front of them, now realizing that this young person was crazier than they had imagined.
Seeing that no one had anything to say, Old Tang chuckled, "You don't have to worry about anything else. I'll make a video later to explain that I did all this alone. Anyway, I went to the hospital for a check-up recently, and the doctor told to do whatever I want, to keep my spirits up."
Getting soone sent to jail... I feel very happy just thinking about it...
