Free Web NovelChapter 859: Chapter 315: The Tormented and Maddened Agent
Before.
Shuizhu Chou couldn’t withdraw because he was too greedy.
This time he decided to learn from his mistakes and stop while he was ahead.
"Son, I... don’t feel well..."
At that moment.
In the bedroom, an elderly man pushed himself out in a wheelchair.
His hair was grizzled, his complexion pale, without a trace of blood.
His brow was always furrowed.
As if...
He had been tormented by illness continuously.
"Didn’t the doctor prescribe medication? Can’t you just take more of it?"
Qin Xueyi was full of impatience.
Unable to succeed in withdrawing, his mood had not been good.
Now...
He directly vented his frustration on the elderly man.
But after venting.
He immediately realized his mistake, sighed.
Walked to the elderly man’s side.
Said softly, "Forget it, take more of this medication, it’s for pain relief, then go to sleep after taking them."
The elderly man had only him as a son.
Now he was diagnosed with cancer, medically there was no way to reverse the situation.
He could only take this opportunity...
To earn more money.
He believed his father would understand him.
...
Two days later.
Coastal City.
A certain upscale office building.
Qingyi Chou headquarters.
A notice from the senior civil affairs department demanding self-inspection shook the entire company.
"This... what’s going on? Were we reported?"
The first reaction of everyone.
Was that someone was targeting them.
Otherwise, it wouldn’t be possible for the senior civil affairs department to suddenly find them.
And demand they suspend business, directly self-inspect.
Moreover.
The reasons given...
Were simply varied, all sorts of things.
Almost blatantly targeting them, nitpicking everything.
All non-compliant aspects were being pulled out.
"It must be someone targeting our company, I’ve never seen any company with more than thirty violations during rectifications."
"Saying our audit is not strict? Ha, isn’t the whole industry like this now?"
"It’s disgusting, I’ve heard the leadership is holding an emergency meeting, I figure we’re going to have to work overtime again."
"Overtime is inevitable, but the amount of extra tasks they’ve given us is just too much."
"..."
All Qingyi Chou employees were discussing this self-inspection notice.
No one’s expression looked good.
Clearly.
This matter...
Wasn’t just a company affair, it also affected them.
For a long time to come, they would be reduced to miserable overtime workers.
Simultaneously.
In a certain large conference room.
A group of leaders gathered to discuss a response plan for this self-inspection and rectification.
"Everyone speak up, with this upcoming rectification for our company, which company do you think reported us?"
A major leader stood at the front, scanning the crowd.
Somber expression.
Several names of peer companies flashed through his mind.
Shuizhu Chou, Suibian Chou, Kaixin Chou...
These companies were in competition with them, most likely trying to trip them up, use tactics.
"President Wang, I think things aren’t that simple; I heard recently Shuizhu Chou also received a rectification notice."
"I heard about it too, their app has gone through several updates, became extremely streamlined, more compliant."
"Actually, it’s not difficult for us; we just need to copy their rectification plan."
"Do you think... might the higher-ups be starting an industry-wide rectification?"
"It’s possible, otherwise it wouldn’t consecutively hit several companies."
"..."
Everyone expressed their opinions.
Some believed it was other industry insiders’ reports; others thought it was the higher-ups fed up with industry chaos.
Then intervened for rectification.
Yet...
The content provided by the senior department for rectification really was dubious.
According to their legal department’s verification, these "issues" practically encompassed all existing problems on their platform!
Meaning...
An opponent meticulously researched their platform inside and out to extract all problems.
But...
These issues weren’t enough to close their platform.
At best, it was just rectification.
These issues, though violations, hadn’t caused severe consequences, nor affected social stability and the like.
The opponent doing this...
Was entirely just aiding them in rectification.
For a moment.
They couldn’t be sure competitors were behind it.
Competitors like adversaries.
No other platform would be so "kind," wouldn’t help them find faults.
This incident...
Actually left them all dumbfounded.
A meeting that lasted a full four hours.
Couldn’t reach any conclusion.
In the end.
The leadership could only decide, having all departments quickly emulate Shuizhu Chou, rectifying their app.
Patching all aspects of flaws quickly.
To prepare for the comprehensive review following this rectification.
Rectification wasn’t just about making changes; it requires post-compliance checks from the senior department to conduct business normally.
...
A certain small county. fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓
In the sales center of the latest real estate project.
A suited, smiling real estate agent was earnestly persuading Qin Xueyi.
"Mr. Qin, this real estate project is truly the best in our county."
"With a major developer backing it, what are you worried about?"
"If you miss this opportunity, there won’t be another. There’s a long queue waiting to buy."
"Besides, you’ve already paid a one hundred thousand yuan deposit. If you don’t make the down payment soon, the deposit won’t be refunded if it’s overdue."
He looked at Qin Xueyi.
After exhausting all his verbal skills.
He tried to convince the other party to quickly make the down payment.
Actually.
He had been watching this client for more than half a month.
The deposit had already been paid.
But...
For some reason, even though the client had a strong intention to buy, they still refused to sign the contract.
He called the other party countless times.
But he was never able to close the deal.
"I came today to sign the contract."
Qin Xueyi looked at the anxious agent and smiled slightly.
"Really?"
Upon hearing this, the agent was overjoyed and hurriedly said, "Mr. Qin, you have great vision. Buying this property is definitely a good decision. Let me tell you, all my distant relatives have already bought in this development..."
His excitement was not at all inferior to winning a five-million lottery.
God knows...
What he had been through since taking on Mr. Qin’s case.
"Let’s sign the agreement now."
Qin Xueyi nodded, feeling quite good himself.
The house he was buying...
Had great potential for appreciation, good lighting, a peaceful environment, and it was in a school district.
Most importantly...
He didn’t have to spend a penny of his own on the down payment!
It was entirely funded by donations from generous netizens!
It was almost like getting it for free.
Thinking about this.
He couldn’t help opening the fundraising app to see how much today’s donations had increased.
This afternoon, he planned to withdraw the money.
And then pay the down payment.
However...
As soon as he opened the fundraising app, he found his account had been suspended.
On his phone, big words were displayed: "Your account has been suspended due to failure to submit patient treatment proof in time. Please submit proof of treatment within 24 hours to unfreeze the account."
Looking at these words.
He was dumbfounded.
This familiar scene reminded him of what happened before on another fundraising platform.
The money was almost all raised.
And it was suddenly frozen again?
He was so angry his entire body shook, gripping the phone tightly, wishing he could smash it to pieces!
"What...what the heck is going on?"
His face turned ashen.
He murmured to himself.
Amidst his anger, he began pondering the peculiar aspects.
Clearly...
Everything was fine before he started the fundraising.
After the fundraising, everything changed.
Just when the money was almost collected, it was frozen, treating him like a fool.
Was it easy for him to raise money so painstakingly?
Moreover.
The money wasn’t raised by them; it was given by kind-hearted individuals. Why could they just freeze it at will?
"Mr. Qin...it’s time to sign."
Nearby.
The agent had already brought out the property purchase contract, and seeing his silence, couldn’t help but remind him.
"Sign for what!"
Qin Xueyi came to his senses, glared coldly at the agent.
His emotions were on the verge of exploding.
He had no money left, how could he buy a house?
"Mr. Qin, even though you’re the client, you can’t play with people like this either?"
The agent, after being yelled at like this, immediately lost his composure: "You’ve promised multiple times already that you’d sign the contract, only to back out every time. What do you mean?"
"If you don’t have the money, just be honest. There’s no need to treat me like a fool."
"My time is valuable too; you’re not my only client in the world!"
After being toyed with by Qin Xueyi multiple times.
The agent could no longer bear it and simply tore off the pretense.
And being so humiliated, Qin Xueyi’s face turned from blue to red.
Utterly ashamed.
Yet he had no idea how to retort at the moment.
He couldn’t possibly tell the agent...
The reason he couldn’t sign was that his donations had been frozen, could he?
That would be too embarrassing.
"Let me tell you, in a week, it’s the final deadline. If you still don’t sign the contract, you can forget about getting your deposit back!"
Finally.
The agent sternly threw down a remark and directly turned to leave.
Leaving Qin Xueyi standing alone in the real estate center’s lobby, his face cycling through a range of emotions.
After a long while.
He finally calmed down and left the real estate center.
Returned to his home.
First thing...
He called the fundraising platform’s customer service, using the most vicious and harsh words of his life to curse them out.
After the outburst.
He felt much more relieved.
But his money...
Seemed unlikely to be retrieved.
To unfreeze the account, he’d have to provide proof of treatment within 24 hours.
But his father...
Had been home for more than half a month, without ongoing treatment in the hospital.
There was simply no ongoing treatment proof to provide.
"If they don’t keep me here, someone else will provide a place!"
Clenching his teeth, he quickly found another app on the market.
Also a crowdfunding platform for serious illnesses, providing a platform for those willing to donate out of the kindness of their hearts.
Next.
He registered an account, uploaded medical records, proof of hospitalization, and diagnosis documents.
Then...
He initiated a new fundraiser!
This time, he decided to be ruthless and directly asked for one and a half million!
To his surprise...
This platform was particularly lenient, with not much audit limitation.
Before long.
His request was approved, and his fundraising information was pushed out to compassionate individuals from all walks of life.
However.
To be safe, he proactively called the customer service of this new platform, named "Easy Fundraising," to ensure they wouldn’t upgrade the app or add new rules.
"This time... I’ll withdraw once I raise one hundred thousand yuan!"
After doing all this.
He opened his phone and watched as the donation amount in the backend continued to grow, silently thinking.
