“I don’t know. They just bypassed the real estate company and came to us…” The secretary whispered, gritting her teeth.
“Come on, let’s go downstairs to check it out.” Jimmy was still confused.
In front of Billion Trees Real Estate’s headquarters building. More and more people gathered here and had unfurled banners. Many people were watching.
“Bro, what’s going on? Are you a tenant of Beauty Lake Town?” A middle-aged man asked in the crowd of onlookers.
“Yes! You too? Don’t you know construction has been on pause for a long time?”
“They have already delayed delivering our units, which is considered a breach of contract. Without workers, when can they deliver it?
“Billion Trees Real Estate’s going to run with our money!” The young man, who was chanting just now, said to the middle-aged man.
“What?” The middle-aged man froze and soon joined the crowd condemning Billion Trees Real Estate.
As the crowd of onlookers grew larger, reporters from various media outlets rushed to cover the event. Things went from bad to worse.
“Be quiet! Be quiet!”
“Mr. Lidell, the chairman of Billion Trees Real Estate, is here! You can ask him whatever you want!”
Just then, Jimmy stepped out with a group of people. Alder also brought nearly ten bodyguards, just in case.
“Why did you stop working on the units we bought?”
“It’s been delayed for a long time, and now there’s nobody on the site.”
“Is it true that you’re going to run away with our money, leaving the building unfinished?”
Countless people spoke, and Jimmy’s scalp tingled.
“What on earth are you talking about?” Jimmy asked with a frown, confused.
“He’s still playing dumb!” A young man swore loudly and poured half a bottle of mineral water onto Jimmy’s head.
“You!”
Jimmy was about to lose his temper, but countless bottles of mineral water hit him the next second. There were even a couple of slippers.
Countless things fell on Jimmy’s and the rest’s heads. The place was a mess.
They dared not do anything in front of the media cameras, so they could only retreat. Alder retreated into the office, closed the glass door, and hid for the time being.
“What on earth is going on?!” Jimmy asked as he grabbed a company senior executive.
“Mr. Lidell, I just found out… Our three buildings have stopped construction for several days, and there’s no one on the site… Then someone led the owners here to make a scene…” The senior executive was frightened as he explained quickly.
“What?! Stopped for days?” Jimmy was even more confused.
Billion Trees Real Estate had no shortage of funds these days, so they should not stop!
Doubtful, Jimmy took out his phone and called the person in charge of the buildings.
Ten minutes later, Jimmy’s face was as dark as ink.
Smash!
Alder smashed the expensive phone into pieces. Alder finally knew what was going on.
“Ishac! Ishac has been on us for days!” Jimmy gritted his teeth.
Words could not describe how much he hated Ishac. At the same time, he was shocked.
Ishac had targeted Billion Trees Real Estate even before he joined the auction. Alder actually had made a series of moves behind the scenes. And Jimmy did not notice them.
The problems popped up today. How could he handle them?
“Mr. Lidell, what do we do? They’re not going anywhere. The government’s still on the way.”
“This will have a bad effect!” The senior executives nearby panicked when they saw the reporters outside.
“These reporters work for whoever pays them! F*ck!” Jimmy cursed through gritted teeth.
However, there was no use saying anything at this point. They still needed to resolve things.
If they did not get rid of the people in front of them, Billion Trees Real Estate’s reputation would suffer greatly. Jimmy had no choice but to walk out the door again.
“Listen to me! It’s normal for construction sites to rest! Today is the last day. Workers will be coming in soon,” Jimmy turned to the crowd and explained aloud.
“Bullsh*t! We all heard that you’re behind with your wages, so they’re not working for you anymore!”
“Yes! If we had only shut down for a few days, would we be rioting?”
“You have no workers at all! Our units are going to rot there!”
There were so many people there but nobody believed Jimmy’s explanation.
“Those are rumors. I’ll call the workers to come in right now,” Jimmy waved his hand and took the phone from Weston.
The rioting owners also stopped when they saw that. After all, their purpose was not to cause trouble but get their units faster.
If Jimmy wanted to fix it, they would wait for him to fix it. However, he did not make the call after getting the phone.
“F*ck! Alder pulled a fast one on me!” Jimmy clenched his phone while gritting his teeth.
Alder had just realized something. The construction teams that had contracts with them terminated their contracts this morning.
Who could he call now? How many workers could he get?
Jimmy understood that everything was closely linked.
What Ishac did in the morning was nothing. It was to pave the way for this!
The unit owners surrounded the entrance as they waited for Jimmy to get the workers. As a result, Jimmy had no workers available.
How were they going to solve the problem?
“Go ahead! Do it!”
“Why aren’t you moving? Can’t keep it up?!”
When Jimmy did not move, the crowd kicked up a fuss again.
“How about this? I promise you there will be workers on site tomorrow… Please believe me!” Jimmy faced the camera as he promised.
However, someone in the crowd deliberately heckled him, so they refused to hear Jimmy’s explanation. Countless bottles of mineral water came crashing down again.
Jimmy had to retreat into the company office and let the legal and public relations departments deal with.
“B*stard! Alder ruined my business by terminating my contracts and ruined my reputation with such a spectacle!”
“Anderson, you’re ruthless!” Jimmy was shaking with anger inside the office.
However, Ishac got him by the short hairs, and there was nothing he could do about it.
