Chapter 2470 - 1558: Green Land
It could be said that he dares to act and take responsibility.
"Explain what’s going on."
Lu Xu made an instant decision.
The difference between a smart person and a fool is knowing when to give up on wishful thinking.
"The cause of the issue is a person named Zhang Zhongquan. He purchased one of our small-sized apartments in the Greenfield Phase II because of a postponed delivery. He frequently caused disturbances at the sales office. Later, he even hired a lawyer from out of town with the intention of suing us through legal channels..."
Seeing that he couldn’t keep it under wraps, Lu Xu quickly provided a succinct explanation of the entire cause and effect. "In order to minimize impact and solve the problem at the lowest cost, I sent someone to negotiate with Zhang Zhongquan. We refunded his purchase money, he withdrew the lawsuit, and signed a confidentiality agreement. But unexpectedly, the lawyer he hired turned around and contacted other homeowners."
According to the procedure, what he did wasn’t wrong.
He was indeed responsible for the Greenfield Phase II project. But the halt wasn’t his personal decision; it was the will of the group.
As expected, Chairman Fan Wanli didn’t reprimand his actions, but instead bluntly asked: "Lawyers aren’t philanthropists, why would they be so kind."
Lu Xu hesitated but finally could only confess.
"I think it’s for revenge."
"Initially, I didn’t want to cut Zhang Zhongquan a deal, so I first made contact with the lawyer he hired. But it turned out that the other party was unyielding, and thus I had to settle for second best."
"Where’s the lawyer from?"
Fan Wanli, who in the spotlight appears righteous, outstanding, and amiable as an entrepreneur, asked, with each utterance being very short and precise.
As the head of Green Land, he is truly too busy and doesn’t have the energy to listen to redundant dragging stories.
"Seems like he’s from East Sea."
Generosity doesn’t manage wealth; kindness doesn’t manage armies.
A nice guy couldn’t possibly thrive in such a highly lucrative and competitive real estate industry.
Evidently, similar emergency solutions aren’t Lu Xu’s initiative but Green Land’s "usual template."
"No wonder."
Fan Wanli nodded indifferently, "Lawyers from East Sea have the confidence, unlike those here."
Lu Xu let out a quiet sigh of relief, realizing the first hurdle was probably just barely overcome.
With a boss, you need to be with someone who understands the matter.
He has always acted according to company regulations, always starting from the company’s interests, without mixing in his personal motives.
So.
What’s wrong with that?
Certainly.
Whatever the reason, he must bear the unavoidable responsibility for the mishap in the project he’s responsible for.
Attitude matters.
"Chairman, given that it’s gotten to this extent, it’s my negligence. I didn’t conduct a detailed background check, and didn’t know Zhang Zhongquan had such connections. He could not only call in a legal team from East Sea, but Fu Zili also got involved."
"Fu Zili? Who’s that?"
"A thug from Sha City. I sent someone to give that lawyer a ’meeting gift,’ but the person carrying it out was put into a mental hospital by Fu Zili under the pretext of drug detox."
Fu Zili also managed to reach the ears of Green Land’s chairman, but only that far.
What status does Green Land have in Sha City? They are playing a different game altogether. Fan Wanli heard it was a thug and didn’t take it to heart.
Wasn’t the person standing in Lu Xu’s office also a thug?
Standing cautiously for half a day, looking like someone with ankylosing spondylitis, never straightening their back.
The level gap is evident.
"As real estate headed downwards, it seems to have impacted us too. Many people seem to think that Green Land isn’t doing well."
Fan Wanli mumbled in a calm tone.
A rabbit cannot harm a lion, but when it leaps to bite you, it is already a huge insult to the lion.
Lu Xu sensed the chairman’s rage in his chest, lowered his head, and adjusted his glasses.
"A bunch of troublemakers thought having a lawyer made them start being cocky, believing they can break stone with an egg; it’s sheer folly."
Sitting in this position, this Lu Xu with certainly high educational background, rich workplace experience, adept at reading expressions and the boss’s mind, had undoubtedly made Fan Wanli quite pleased with his flattery.
"I’ve already given notice to the media, all news will be withdrawn."
Lu Xu raised his head.
"Chairman, how brilliant!"
"Less flattery, more action. The impact this time is truly malicious. Green Land has never encountered such a scandal since its establishment."
Lu Xu bowed his head again, submissively accepting the education.
"Based on your idea, how should we handle the aftermath?"
Fan Wanli asked.
"I believe we should strike hard!"
Lu Xu bowed his head; perhaps because of this, his voice was all the more firm.
"How to strike hard?"
"All those involved should pay a price. Only in this way can we warn others and defend Green Land’s status and reputation."
Status and reputation.
When intellectuals speak, it is profound, filled with meaning.
"Including that thug Fu Zili shall not be spared. Such societal scum and losers of Sha City should be sent to prison for labor reform. That is his best destination."
Not only hired gloves renting辉, the second time to vent, were all kidnapped, and thrown into the Moat, Lu Xu subconsciously noted this to Fu Zili.
No one’s death, just because of water quality issues, all caused skin problems and were sent to the hospital.
Was it a few henchmen?
It’s clearly a slap in the face of Green Land.
A small pipsqueak, how arrogant?
Unfortunately, if Fu Zili knew, he would definitely cry foul; someone just went to talk to him, without involving him.
"A small thug, there’s no rush; this kind of person can be dealt with at any time."
Fan Wanli said casually, "The immediate priority is those unrest-causing homeowners."
"... Chairman, it seems this lawsuit is unavoidable."
Lu Xu spoke cautiously.
Indeed.
Bribing one Zhang Zhongquan is easy, but simultaneously bribing so many homeowners is impractical and unprofitable.
Better to publically compensate and refund the house payment.
Still can earn some goodwill.
There were more than ten buildings in Greenfield Phase II, with homeowner numbers exceeding a thousand; like an infectious disease, curing one person then hundreds get infected, when treating a hundred, it spreads again.
This route no longer works.
The awakening of group will, to the developer, is a deeply detested plague!
"From the start, you were wrong."
Fan Wanli’s face remained expressionless, "If at the beginning, you handled that..."
"Zhang Zhongquan."
"If you solved this person, none of this would follow. The best way to prevent these troublemakers from causing unrest is to instill fear in them, heartfelt fear."
Lu Xu remained silent.
It seems.
He was indeed too soft-hearted.
The chairman’s intention is the true "kill one to warn a hundred," but what he initially considered was to resolve the issue within a "harmonious" scope, at the lowest cost, without thinking about causing death.
That is perhaps the gap between him and the chairman.
"Of course, doing these now, it’s already futile. It’s all stirred up; it can’t be calmed by sacrificing one or two lives."
Fan Wanli, calm and composed, fully demonstrated the great man’s poise who remains unfazed.
"Since they think the court can bring them what they want, satisfy them. Let them see if the court can indeed make their wish come true."
Fan Wanli’s eyes showed indifference, unhurriedly.
"By shattering their hope in what they consider a lifeline, that’s how they entirely behave and submit."
Lu Xu felt a chill in his heart, with deepening reverence.
Compared to the chairman’s skill, he still has quite a distance to go.
"I’ll immediately notify the legal department."
