Chapter 1254: I Can’t Handle Matters of That Courtyard Anymore
Very soon, this group arrived at the district government office and directly asked to meet Yun Geming.
The government office didn’t have anyone guarding the entrance, so anyone could walk in. When the people at the petition office saw over twenty people rushing into the Government Building, they thought it was a group petitioning, and quickly came out: "What issue are you here to report? Send in two representatives to speak."
The tall man saw someone was receiving them and said: "We’re from Qinghua Street, we’re looking for Yun Geming."
The person from the petition office nodded: "Director Yun isn’t here. You can tell me what’s going on. Come, let’s sit in our office first." With that, he led them into the petition office and had the secretary serve tea.
After sitting down and drinking tea, the elderly lady who spoke to Mengyu earlier was puzzled: "We’re looking for Yun Geming, can you represent him?"
The tall man also said: "Yeah, we’re looking for Yun Geming for a personal matter."
The person from the petition office finally understood: "Oh, you’re looking for Director Yun for a personal matter? What’s your relation to him?"
"We’re his neighbors."
Upon hearing they were neighbors, the person from the petition office confirmed this wasn’t something he could handle. He cursed silently; if he’d known it was a personal matter for Yun Geming, he wouldn’t have invited them into the petition office.
Reluctantly, he said: "Okay, I’ll help you find Director Yun."
The person from the petition office picked up the phone: "Director Yun, could you come to the petition office? There are people here looking for you. Um, they said it’s a personal matter."
On the other end, Yun Geming frowned slightly: when people say they have personal matters, nine times out of ten, they’re asking him for something. And when they ask, they usually bring gifts. He cursed silently; these people, they don’t even know how to give a gift appropriately, coming to the office like this. Don’t they know to come to his home after work?
But he quickly guessed the person must be visiting for the first time, so they didn’t know where he lived.
He said into the phone: "Okay, I’ll be right over."
Pushing the task at hand to the secretary, he headed towards the petition office.
Yun Geming stepped into the petition office and when he saw that everyone inside were elderly people in their fifties and sixties, and they were his former neighbors, he wanted to turn around and leave.
The director of the petition office had already stopped him: "Director Yun, you’re here. These people say they’re your neighbors and have a personal matter to discuss with you."
The petition office emphasized the words "personal matter," reminding him that this was his own business and not something they could deal with, which is why he was called.
Yun Geming really wanted to yell at the director of the petition office, for not making it clear who the visitors were.
These people were all his former neighbors, and he had instructed Scar Fifth to set fire to the courtyard he used to live in last night.
Why would they need to say anything? It was obvious why they had come to see him.
What he thought was going to be a gift-receiving matter had turned into a troublesome one; how could he be happy?
"What is it, go ahead," he said bluntly.
The leader of the neighbors, a tall man, stood up. Among the older neighbors, he appeared relatively young, only around forty.
He directly said to Yun Geming: "Director Yun, your courtyard was burned to the ground last night, did you know?"
Yun Geming barely noticeably furrowed his brow, then looked astonished: "What, the courtyard burned down?" But soon, he leaned back and said: "Zhou Dasha, I moved out of that courtyard a week ago, so I can’t handle matters of that courtyard anymore.
You came to find me, did you want me to speak to the government to get some aid for you?"
