บท 18: The Power Struggles among An Tao, Aunt Wang and the Owners
Following the release of the first message by Property Manager An Tao in the group, the owners raised objections one after another, thinking the prices were too high.
"The owner of Room 1003, Building 6, said to Property Manager An Tao, Can't you attach a few photos? We need to know what's in those packages."
"The owner of Room 3006, Building 3, said to Manager An Tao, Manager An, it's not that we don't trust you. It's just that the vegetables we usually buy only cost a dozen or so yuan. You should list the items in the package so that everyone has an idea and will definitely be willing to buy."
"The owner of Room 2003, Building 6, questioned Manager An Tao, Aren't you robbing us? Even if there are imported vegetables, they can't be that expensive. Is your property management trying to make a fortune out of this disaster?"
...
Most of the voices in the group were of accusations. Although An Tao was usually domineering and people didn't dare to provoke him, in this special situation, quite a few people dared to stand up and question him.
An Tao lived in Huahai Yudi Community. At this time, he was lying comfortably at home. Four high-power air conditioners were blowing hot air, and he didn't feel cold at all.
Looking at the messages in the group, An Tao snorted with disdain, his face full of contempt.
Then, he turned off his phone and threw it aside casually, as if those accusing voices were just insignificant noise to him.
Hmph, who knows when this snow disaster will end, but it seems that it will last at least ten days to half a month.
By then, let's see if you idiots will buy. When you're running out of supplies, I'll sell them for 10,000 yuan per package, and you'll still have to scramble to buy and beg to buy.
Thinking of this, An Tao grinned, showing a smug look, as if he had already seen the scene of himself making a fortune.
...
At this time, Community Administrator Aunt Wang started to "make a fuss" in the group again.
The more people were in a state of panic, the more Aunt Wang wanted to show her identity as a community administrator and strengthen her position and influence in the community.
"Dear owners, as required by the superior! Don't go out casually unless necessary. Don't panic, and don't rush to buy supplies or drive up prices. If anyone doesn't listen to the dissuasion, goes out maliciously, or hoards supplies, our community administrators will definitely report to the authorities."
"Also, our community administrators will actively help everyone to get through this snow disaster together. But if anyone doesn't listen to the community administrator, that is to oppose the authorities. For such people, the authorities will definitely hold them accountable after the disaster. Please pay attention!"
Aunt Wang wore reading glasses and spent a lot of effort handwriting this passage. Every character was written neatly, as if announcing her authority to the world.
After sending it out, Aunt Wang smiled smugly, her face full of cunning and anticipation.
"This is an opportunity. If I can cooperate well with An Tao and the others, I'll definitely make a lot of money this time."
Aunt Wang thought, as if she had already seen the scene of herself counting money. The banknotes were flying in front of her eyes, making her overjoyed.
Aunt Wang was so happy that she quickly called An Tao.
An Tao was sleeping soundly and was woken up by a sudden urgent phone ring.
"Damn it!"
An Tao licked his dry lips and cursed, his tone full of anger and dissatisfaction.
He picked up his phone and saw that it was Aunt Wang calling.
An Tao understood what Aunt Wang meant: "Hello, Aunt Wang. What can I do for you?"
"Well, Manager An, I saw the supply sign-up you posted in the group. I think we should still cooperate as before. I can coerce and bribe to make everyone buy your supplies."
"It's easy for us community administrators to deal with these wage earners. Just scare them a little bit in the name of the authorities, and they'll obediently send their money into our pockets."
"Let's still follow the old rule. You get 80% and I get 20%. What do you think?"
Aunt Wang said happily on the phone, her tone full of anticipation and greed.
Aunt Wang and An Tao had often colluded to cheat the owners in the past.
Usually, An Tao played the bad guy, and Aunt Wang came out as the good guy, and then they tricked the owners.
Over the years, by relying on this method, Aunt Wang's life had become better and better, and her wallet had become fatter and fatter.
And An Tao also kept a young and beautiful female live-streamer in the community and lived a comfortable life.
An Tao snorted with disdain. This old hag is really insatiably greedy.
This time she even wants to set her sights on me.
These supplies were all purchased by the property management. What does it have to do with her, Aunt Wang?
She still wants to get a share and make money from it?
Dream on!
But An Tao still agreed with a smile. A snow disaster of this scale won't pass in a day or two.
He's not afraid that no one will buy his things.
As for Aunt Wang, she is indeed still useful to him. He won't break with her for now.
When she has the nerve to ask him for money, he'll let this old woman know how cruel people can be...
An Tao thought to himself, but there was a false smile on his face.
And Aunt Wang was satisfied and started to send messages in the group again.
"Dear neighbors, I have seen the food of the property management. The quality is guaranteed. They are indeed fresh supplies purchased from the Cai Lanzi Base. You can buy with confidence."
"Also, I would like to emphasize again that everyone must obey the unified management of the community administrator and the property management. Because the authorities don't have enough manpower to manage a specific community at present. Only by relying on the management of the community administrator and the property management can our community avoid chaos and ensure everyone's normal life."
Aunt Wang's words caused quite a stir in the group. Some owners agreed, while some were skeptical.
Anyway, Aunt Wang's words strengthened her position and influence in the community.
It was already six o'clock in the afternoon, and the temperature outside had dropped to minus 60 degrees Celsius.
Even in the north, this was already a very serious disaster.
Not to mention Huahai City. At this time, everyone felt that the air conditioner was no longer effective.
Some families directly turned on the gas stove, and the whole family huddled around a flame to keep warm.
At this time, the power system and energy system in Huahai City were gradually starting to have problems.
Due to the sharp increase in electricity consumption today, many communities had already started to trip.
In some communities, the lights were flickering, and the air conditioner could hardly work and needed to be restarted continuously. And the temperature in the room also started to drop, making people feel a chill.
This made the already panicked people even more frightened.
What humans fear most is still the endless and long night.
Ruby.Lee was no exception.
He looked at the time. Due to the sun entering a weak period, the length of the night had started to increase.
It was only a little after six o'clock, but it was already pitch black outside.
The time has come...
Ruby.Lee put on an extra layer of clothes and took out a thick cotton-padded coat from the cabinet to wrap Little Black in.
Little Black was his pet and his only companion in this cold world.
He gently stroked Little Black's head, as if comforting it not to be afraid.
Then, he opened the door and walked towards Sheng Tian Square.
As soon as the door opened, the biting cold air instantly rushed into the room.
Ruby.Lee could even see white cold air gushing out 争先恐后地,and a thick layer of white frost immediately formed at the door.
It seemed that the whole world was covered with ice and snow.
Fortunately, Ruby.Lee was wearing a high-tech thermal suit. Otherwise, with just this one blast of cold air, he would have been frozen into an icicle.
Little Black also sensed the cold air and the abnormality of the world.
It huddled in Ruby.Lee's arms and barked a few times, with a trace of fear and uneasiness in its voice.
Ruby.Lee gently patted Little Black's back and comforted it, "Don't be afraid. I'm here."
Then, he didn't dare to take the elevator for fear of getting trapped in it if the power went out halfway.
He had to bite the bullet and take the stairs.
Fortunately, his body had been strengthened by the system now, and he was very fast. In less than five minutes, Ruby.Lee reached the fifth floor.
He glanced at the snow outside the window, took a deep breath, and then smashed the glass of the corridor with one punch.
The glass fragments flew everywhere and landed on the snow, making a crisp sound.
Ruby.Lee took out two pairs of skis from the cabinet, put them on his feet, and then jumped and landed steadily in the snow.
Ruby.Lee was an excellent skier. On this kind of soft snow that was three or four meters thick, he walked as if on flat ground.
