Chapter 577: Five hundred seventy-two, directly give up

Gu Chen had not expected such a large group of people to gather against him.

These people had all come charging over in an organized manner.

Then, standing in front of the reporters,

they pointed at Gu Chen and said, "You’re not qualified to contract our project!"

"The project should be given to capable enterprises!"

"Stop talking nonsense. A chef building houses? How can we feel secure about this in the future!"

"We will resolutely defend our rights and will never let him contract the project!"

These people leveled their accusations with sound reasoning.

They each took their turn speaking with confidence and form.

Those unaware of the situation might have thought Gu Chen had mistreated them somehow.

"He’s a chef, what qualifications does he have to build buildings? Isn’t this playing with our lives!"

"Exactly, our family of three, we don’t want to put our lives in the hands of a chef."

"In any case, we firmly disagree and demand a change of contractor."

In the midst of endless denunciations,

Gu Chen simply looked on indifferently.

Old Zhang appeared somewhat anxious by his side.

Nobody had expected such a surge of so-called opposition to suddenly arise.

It was a bit difficult for anyone to accept all at once.

"In any case, our stance is also very simple, either change the contractor, or don’t even think about starting the project."

"That’s right! As long as we’re here, you can forget about it!"

"We absolutely cannot joke with our lives!"

Gu Chen looked at the group in front of him, and for a moment, he didn’t know what to say.

It seemed like his Ping’an Real Estate hadn’t done anything to this point, yet they disliked him so much.

He found it very strange, as if there had been previous contact or something.

The key was that Ping’an Real Estate hadn’t yet shown its capabilities, and they were already facing so much opposition.

"Everyone! Please calm down a moment!" Old Zhang appealed to them at this time.

"Our Ping’an Real Estate currently possesses the qualifications for construction. In front of so many people, we will of course take every project seriously and responsibly!"

Old Zhang came down from the platform and approached them to say this.

"What qualifications do you have? Aren’t you just a decorator? Do you know how much concrete, rebar, and cement a building needs? You don’t know jack, so what are you talking about qualifications!" an elderly lady pointed at Old Zhang’s nose at that moment and scolded him like this.

Upon hearing this, Old Zhang’s face instantly darkened, but being in front of so many people, he could only swallow his anger.

Even Gu Chen felt slightly uncomfortable upon hearing this remark.

"Madam, let’s discuss the issue at hand without any personal attacks. His position is not important; what’s important is that he does not owe you anything."

Gu Chen backed Old Zhang in front of everyone with a direct retort.

The old lady became immediately displeased upon hearing this.

"What’s wrong? Did I say something incorrect? You’re just a chef too!" she said indignantly.

"Exactly, what did she say wrong? You’re afraid of people talking now?"

"If you had any sense of shame, you wouldn’t interfere with our Metalware District project."

"A lousy chef, have you even touched a brick before?"

The people by her side also echoed the old lady’s comments.

Upon hearing this, Gu Chen’s expression grew even more somber.

He didn’t understand why this was happening, but at that moment, he really didn’t want to bother with the Metalware District matter anymore.

"Fine, if that’s the case, I propose we remove the Metalware District from our project list and hand it over to another company."

Gu Chen made a decisive decision on the spot, stating this right in front of the reporters.

Old Zhang turned his head to look at Gu Chen after hearing his words.

Because he had long known that if the project started, the first one would definitely be in the Hardware District.

So they had already made thorough preparations.

They even knew every corner of the Hardware District like the back of their hand.

But he had not expected Gu Chen to give up on the Hardware District at this moment.

Wei Tianfu turned his head and looked at Gu Chen, "Are you sure?"

"Is it possible?" Gu Chen retorted.

As long as it was possible, he could indeed discard it.

After all, one more or one less didn’t matter.

Demolishing and rebuilding the Hardware District would take who knows how long.

And if you spoke the truth, the money that could be made was limited anyway.

"It’s possible, so let’s outsource it," Wei Tianfu also respected Gu Chen’s decision at this time.

The residents of the Hardware District, upon hearing Gu Chen give up on the district so casually, were still a bit stunned.

At the same time, facing the cameras, Gu Chen then said, "Aside from the Hardware District.

For the upcoming renovation projects that don’t require Ping’an Real Estate, a representative can approach us, and we respect your decision and won’t insist on contracting the project."

At this moment, Gu Chen spoke not only of the Hardware District.

He also addressed all the other districts facing all the cameras.

The reporters kept flashing their cameras.

And at that moment, Old Zhang also stood by Gu Chen’s side again.

He didn’t know what Gu Chen was thinking, but he didn’t ask questions now and simply stood there honestly.

He knew that under these circumstances, he just had to follow Gu Chen’s arrangements.

"Recently, there has been a lot of slander against our company, Ping’an Real Estate, and against me, as well as other employees of Ping’an Real Estate by many in the media and the public.

Regarding this matter, we will entrust all of Chuan City’s law firms to sue each of them and hold them accountable.

Anyone who oversteps the law will be punished.

Although Ping’an Real Estate is a business, it’s not a trashcan, and we won’t accept just anyone’s venting."

At that moment, he also spoke about the recent hot topic.

His attitude was very firm as he said this.

After his words, the room instantly erupted into murmurs.

"Director Gu, are you opposing all ordinary people? Aren’t you worried that your projects won’t be able to proceed in the future?"

A reporter asked Gu Chen from below.

Arguing with ordinary people often brought no benefits.

And it could easily spark public outrage, resulting in losses outweighing gains.

That’s why many businesses chose to ignore such issues as their solution.

But Gu Chen did just the opposite, even choosing to file lawsuits.

Facing the cameras, Gu Chen confidently said, "We are only developers, our goal is to create safe, beautiful, and comfortable buildings.

Even if we can only build one building in Chuan City, I will make that building a landmark of Chuan City."

Gu Chen said this very confidently.

After he finished speaking, the room was filled with skeptical looks.

A landmark building could represent an entire city.

Most developers did not have the confidence to make such a statement.

First, the difficulty is too high; second, the cost is too high.

Such a thing was more ornamental than practical and wasn’t quite suited for Chuan City yet.
