Great, It's the Pervy Neighbor. We're Doomed

Chapter 406: Li Chong: Sorry, There's Nothing

Although Huo Yun seemed quite sunny and positive, his self-introduction was just those two sentences.Among the three new residents, two had already finished their self-introductions.

Next up was the third, and also the last one.

"Hello everyone, my name is Shangguan Fei."

Compared to the previous two people, perhaps because Shangguan Fei stayed at home all year writing web novels without going out and rarely interacting with outsiders, it wasn't clear.

But as a result, he appeared rather quiet and reserved.

After finishing his self-introduction, he plopped down and sat.

After Shangguan Fei finished his self-introduction.

Manager Li Chong cleared his throat.

He said, "These are our three new residents. We'll all be neighbors from now on. I hope everyone can get along peacefully and help each other. After all, a near neighbor is better than a distant relative!"

After saying this, Li Chong deliberately paused for a few seconds before solemnly announcing:

"And now that the three new residents have also finished their self-introductions, I hereby declare this welcome party concluded. Everyone, you may disperse!"

After Manager Li Chong said this, only a few people in the entire room moved, standing up and preparing to leave.

But seeing everyone else remaining completely motionless, these few people obediently sat back down in their original seats.

Sitting in the front rows were quite a few old residents.

One old resident among them was completely stunned for a full two and a half minutes.

After these two and a half minutes passed, he spoke up and asked Manager Li Chong:

"New manager, you're saying the welcome party ends here? Are you joking?"

Manager Li Chong looked down at that old resident and said, "Joking? Do I look like someone who enjoys joking?"

That old resident said, "Heh, fine. Then let me ask you, where's the food? Where are the drinks?"

Another old resident also spoke up, saying, "Yeah! Even if there's no barbecue or deep-fried skewers, what about the cake?! Don't tell me there isn't even one?!"

Manager Li Chong raised his chin and said, "You guessed right. There really isn't any. However, I do have free boiled water to quench your thirst. Do you want some?"

After these words, the entire activity room fell silent again.

After the silence settled.

It was still the first old resident who had spoken who sneered and said, "New manager, you're not following the rules, are you? Don't you know there's always a feast after every welcome party?"

"And Jiang Ran, this newcomer might not know, but you're the assistant manager. You've worked with Xiao Zhang for so long. Don't you know either?"

Seeing the conflict suddenly shift onto himself, Jiang Ran quickly explained, "I told him, but Supervisor Li wouldn't listen!"

Jiang Ran looked utterly aggrieved on the surface, but inwardly he was secretly delighted.

Li Chong, you're about to be in trouble. Get ready to face the wrath!

Manager Li Chong wasn't someone easily intimidated either.

Especially since, earlier, after his self-introduction, not a single person applauded. With you idiots wanting to freeload food and drinks?

If he let you freeload food and drinks, he wouldn't be worthy of sharing the surname Li with Emperor Taizong of Tang!

"Heh, rules? What rules? That so-called feast after the welcome party was all Manager Xiao Zhang's own initiative. Now he's no longer working here. Since I've taken over, that rule no longer exists."

Manager Li Chong retaliated with an equally cold sneer.

That old resident said, "Fine. Next time's welcome party can be without a feast, but this one must have one."

"Many of us didn't eat dinner tonight, waiting specifically for this meal. You have to get us something to eat."

That old resident compromised.

Seeing the other party compromise, Manager Li Chong became even more arrogant and high-handed:

"Sorry, no. Not even a single packet of instant noodles."

"People shouldn't be so keen on taking advantage of others."

After saying this.

Manager Li Chong swaggered away triumphantly.

He wasn't unaware of the numerous hostile gazes fixed on his back from behind.

But he showed no fear at all, completely unafraid.

He was the manager, the king managing this entire apartment building.

Jiang Ran watched as Manager Li Chong just left like that.

He immediately walked to the front and said, "I'm very sorry, everyone. I told Supervisor Li earlier that we needed to prepare a feast, but he just ignored me. If you don't mind, I can order some takeout later and have it delivered? We can make do?"

The first old resident who spoke lifted himself off the chair: "No need. This matter isn't your fault. No need for you to spend money. I'll go back and eat instant noodles."

The second old resident who had spoken earlier also stood up and called out:

"I'm going back to eat instant noodles too! The kind with foot-trodden pickled mustard greens!"

"Ah, just thinking about those bastards selling us fellow countrymen foot-trodden pickled greens while selling jar-packed ones abroad makes me want to grab a knife and kill them."

As the leading dissenter took the lead and left.

The crowd began to loosen up, gradually leaving.

Jiang Ran kept bowing to these departing people.

Bent waist, mouth unable to suppress laughter.

After seeing all these people off.

He could no longer hold back and laughed out loud.

He felt that Li Chong wouldn't last long as manager. With this move, he had basically offended all these old residents.

Speaking of which, after Li Chong can't handle it and gets fired, would he inherit the manager position?

Or would another new one come?

Live stream room.

Domineering Female CEO: [The manager changed? Does this mean Xiao Zhang is already dead?]

Middle-aged Uncle: [Probably. Otherwise, under normal circumstances, they wouldn't change people, right?!]

Fairy Sister: [My poor Xiao Zhang. After being manager for so long, he ultimately fell into Jiang Ran's hands.]

I am the Hero: [This new manager, Li Chong, doesn't seem very smart.]

[With this move, he's offended a large group of old residents. Isn't this already a path to death?]

I'm Actually a Girl: [I have a feeling this Li Chong might not live for many more days.]

Little Aunt: [He's offended too many people, and they're all psychopaths here... Hey, I haven't seen you comment in a while!]

I'm Actually a Girl: [Been busy with a relationship recently. Just got dumped, so I came back to watch the stream, hehe...]

...

The next day.

29th round, day 2.

Jiang Ran woke up a little after six in the morning.

After washing up, he stood on the balcony for a while looking at the scenery outside.

The view was nothing more than another apartment building under construction, almost finished.

Once completed, it would be time for renovation. After renovation, another large batch of residents would move in.

After gazing for a while, he went to the kitchen, pulled open the upper cabinet, which contained many different brands and flavors of instant noodles.

He originally picked the pickled mustard greens flavor, but suddenly remembered what that old resident said last night.

He switched to the braised beef flavor.

Reportedly, the cows used for this brand's braised beef flavor noodles haven't died to this day.

Not sure if it's true or false.

After eating the instant noodles.

Jiang Ran did some cleaning, then lay on the sofa playing with his phone.

He happened to scroll to news about a male celebrity who fell to his death.

"Tsk, I've watched his 'Three Lives Three Worlds'... Leaving this world so early, what a pity."

He continued scrolling through his phone.

Around a little past seven, he left home, ready to go to the first-floor management office to start work.

Taking the elevator to the first floor.

Just as he stepped out of the elevator door, he heard a burst of chattering voices.

Looking closely, there were about a dozen people, both residents and security team members, gathered outside the apartment building discussing something.

When he walked out of the apartment building and followed the direction of these people's discussion to see the scene.

His entire body was struck as if by lightning, standing there frozen in place.
