They went into the community director’s office and Qiao Mei made a call to Xia Wen. The moment the call went through, Qiao Mei heard a lot of commotion on Xia Wen’s end. There was a cacophony of voices in the background and it seemed that there was also a woman crying.
Qiao Mei quickly hung up the phone. There were too many staff members around at the moment. She would call Xia Wen after she returned to the hotel.
“Miss Qiao, if there’s anything you need us to do, just let us know. We’ll do our best to help you,” the community director said with a wide grin.
“There’s nothing much to do. It’s just that I’m not very good at arithmetic. As you can see, I’ve pasted a notice outside the house about the benefits they can get if they move out. Just help me give the money to them based on the contents,” Qiao Mei said.
“No problem! Leave this small matter to us!” the community director said enthusiastically.
Qiao Mei used her walkie-talkie to call the bodyguards who were outside the community office and asked them to bring up two big bags of money and a bag of gifts for the staff.
Qiao Mei had bought all these things from the imported goods store. There were chocolates and a lot of candy from overseas. One could not even buy these things even if one had money. To get these, one must have foreign exchange coupons.
It was very difficult to get these foreign exchange coupons. The recipient must have made contributions to the country and must have earned foreign currency previously.
These chocolates and candies were a symbol of status. The staff in the community office were all very grateful to Qiao Mei. They all felt that Qiao Mei was a very nice and sincere person, so they were even more willing to help her.
That afternoon, the community office staff moved a few tables and chairs to the courtyard of the Gao family’s house. They sat there and watched those people move out. Once the move was complete, the person could immediately come to the table to sign off and receive the money.
When everyone saw that Qiao Mei had asked the community office staff to come and help out, they were more convinced that the rewards written on the notice were for real. All of them started to pack faster. Many women asked their children to go and get their husbands to come home so that they could finish packing and leave together.
A man rushed down from the upper level and asked Qiao Mei, “Will you really give me money? My family is done with our packing!’
“Of course! As long as you move your things out of this house, I’ll give you money now,” Qiao Mei said.
This man’s family of six was squeezed inside a small room. They had long wanted to move to another house and had been planning it for a while. This benefits scheme was an unexpected bonus for them and they were overjoyed. They had been hesitant about signing the rental agreement for the new house but they went to sign it immediately after hearing of the scheme.
The man’s family members carried all their bags downstairs and went up to the community office staff to collect their money. Qiao Mei even gave them an extra 100 dollars.
“This amount of 100 dollars is your familys reward for being the first family to move out,” Qiao Mei said.
“Thank you! Thank you so much!” The man took the money and immediately asked his family to leave. If they did it any later and someone else left before them, they would not be able to get this 100 dollars!
When the other families saw that the man had received the money and even a reward, they could not sit still anymore and went out to look for a new house to move out immediately. They did not even want to spend the night here anymore. In one night, 13 families moved out!
Within two days, almost everyone in the entire building had moved out. There were only a few families who had not managed to find a suitable house. Still, after three days, most of them had moved away, except the two old women who insisted on not moving.
“Auntie, do you want us to help you move, or do you want to hire your own people to do it for you?” Qiao Mei asked with a smile.
“Don’t even think about making me leave this place! I’m going to look for my son! We’ll talk about it when my son gets here! Do you know who my son is!” the old woman shouted arrogantly as she sat in the courtyard.
The old woman’s son worked in government services and was just a small team leader who did not have much authority. However, the old woman felt that her son was some big shot. She looked down on everyone and often used her son’s job title to threaten others.
“What does your son’s identity have to do with me?” Qiao Mei said nonchalantly.
“Just you wait! When my son comes back and sees you bullying me like this! He’ll definitely skin you alive!” the old woman said fiercely as she looked at Qiao Mei.
Qiao Mei pretended to look surprised and said, “Goodness! Then I want to take a good look and see how he wants to skin me alive..”
