The crowd glanced at each other, not in a hurry to speak. However, they could not help but wonder. It was pointless to continue making a scene.
They would be pleased if Milos delivered his promise, finished construction in a month, and delivered their units in two months. But, they did not believe Milos could do it.
“Is what you say true? If you can do that, we’ll put an end to it, of course! But what if you can’t?” A unit owner in their fifties asked with a frown as they looked at Milos.
“I can do it if I said I can. I only wanna know if you believe me!”
“If you tell me you don’t believe me, I’ll leave now. We don’t need to waste each other’s time. If you believe me, let’s keep on talking,” Milos said indifferently, looking at the crowd with his hands behind his back.
“You!”
Everyone was more dumbfounded when they heard Milos.
They knew the chairman of Billion Trees Real Estate, Jimmy had been thrown into prison. Billion Trees Real Estate could be said to be leaderless now. Milos was the only person to stand out and explain to the public these past few days.
If they said they did not believe it, and Milos left in a fit of anger, would no one bother with Billion Trees Real Estate?
Would their unit delivery date not be delayed further?
After the crowd thought it through, they were more scared of saying that they did not believe him.
“Okay! We believe you!”
“But you can’t ask us to believe you just because you said so, can you?”
“Yes! Your construction has been suspended for half a month. You don’t even have a single worker. How can we believe you?”
“Are the buildings going to build themselves?”
The unit owners expressed their willingness to believe Milos before raising their doubts.
Many billionaires and big shots watching this scene froze. They did not even know when Milos had changed the unit owners’ minds.
The unit owners were so agitated that they seemed intent on bringing down the Billion Trees Real Estate building at first. However, after Milos talked to them, the atmosphere and the people’s attitudes changed imperceptibly.
They were so shocked by Milos that they were scared to say they did not believe Milos.
“We can also say the same things he said. But why do I think he sounds more persuasive than us?”
Many people could not help having such doubts. They did not understand, of course. It was because they had no idea of the remarkable achievements this young man only in his twenties had.
Albert alone had commanded a million soldiers.
How could he intimidate millions of soldiers without a powerful aura and strong abilities?
Aura was illusory, but it was real. The same sentence would bring different feelings and effects if it were from another person.
If it were Jimmy repeating exactly what Milos had said on stage, it would not have the same effect.
“Mr. Lennon, right?”
“Honestly, we don’t want to waste time making a scene. We have our things to do too. But we only want to claim our legal rights.”
“If you can give us something to assure it, we’ll stop making a scene,” Suddenly, another unit owner stepped forward and spoke earnestly to Milos.
Clap, clap, clap!
As soon as the unit owners said that, the other unit owners clapped and nodded in approval.
Marsha standing behind Milos could barely contain his laughter after getting a good look at the unit owner. Albert did not expect Jeffrey to hide in the crowd and be Milos’s wingman.
Milos must have set this up.
Seeing Jeffrey’s earnest face, Marsha could not help smiling and lowered his head to hide it. On the other hand, Milos looked nonchalant.
“You’re right. So I will start construction as soon as possible. I promise you’ll get the keys within a month,” Milos said to the crowd, nodding slightly.
“How are you going to start construction? What about the workers? There are no workers on the site,” Another unit owner asked, frowning.
“Aren’t the workers here?” Milos said, slowly turning his head to the workers on the other side.
Most of these migrant workers were from the countryside, so they looked simple and honest. They were a little uncomfortable seeing so many eyes focused on them.
“Them? They’re here to collect their debt! How dare you make them work when you owe them their wages?”
“Do you think the migrant workers are stupid?” Jeffrey shouted with a cold snort.
“Yes! That’s right!”
The other unit owners nodded.
The migrant workers had also realized it. They were here to collect their debt.
Why should they be ashamed?
Therefore, everyone looked up and waited for Milos’s answer.
“I’ve checked the bill. Billion Trees Real Estate owes many people their wages. Again, anything that can be solved with money isn’t a problem. I will make up their wages and pay their future wages on time.”
“Besides that…” Milos paused for a moment.
“What else?”
Many migrant workers were happy to hear Milos’s promise. Their hearts sank at hearing Milos’s change of tone.
“Besides that, I’m sorry for any inconvenience caused by the late payment. Everyone will receive an extra two months pay during payout,” Milos said casually, looking at the migrant workers.
“What? What do you mean?”
The crowd was dumbfounded for a moment.
