Chapter 193: Chapter 193: Brother-in-law is the Ex 93_1

On the day of the housing inspection, the residential community was indeed bustling with activity. Everyone set aside their tasks to collect their houses in the community.

The community was busy with all sorts of things, with decoration companies, furniture and appliance salespeople, and bathroom product salespeople making their pitches. In short, from the moment you entered the community, you could see a lot of brands advertising.

Huang Jing tried to avoid them, but she still ended up with quite a few brochures in her hands.

Compared to her avoidance, many others were interested and listened to the presentations. After all, it was always good to gather more information.

Navigating through the crowd, Huang Jing, with a supervisor, went to get the keys from the community property manager. Then they went upstairs to inspect the house.

The property manager had initially thought Huang Jing was coming with family to inspect the house and didn’t give it much thought, silently wondering about the briefcase she was carrying.

It was indeed quite surprising to see someone bringing such a formal briefcase on the day of housing inspection.

However, the truth quickly slapped him in the face. As soon as they entered the house, she opened the briefcase and began her inspection.

Seeing the contents of the open briefcase, the property manager knew trouble was brewing. This time, the client had brought a professional.

He immediately grew nervous, hoping the house would be signed off without issues.

The other party didn’t care what the property manager felt. He brought out his professional skills and efficiently inspected the house.

In no time, he found issues in over thirty places.

The supervisor wasn’t shocked by the numerous issues with the house. Having worked as a supervisor for so long, he had seen many cases with problems more severe than this one.

"How is the condition of the house?" Xia Ke and his group arrived with the property manager to inspect this apartment.

They had just learned that Huang Jing had made a significant move without saying a word by hiring a supervisor to help with the inspection.

This revelation dumbfounded them. They were left wondering if it was really necessary to spend all that money.

Now, seeing the supervisor had completed the inspection, they asked about the condition of the house, even more anxiously than Huang Jing, the owner herself.

The supervisor glanced at Xia Ke and his group, knowing they had a good relationship with Huang Jing, and simply explained the conditions of Huang Jing’s apartment.

Listening to the supervisor listing the problems one by one, Xia Ke and his company all grew anxious, knowing that it was impossible for the house to be without issues.

But they hadn’t expected the problems to be so serious, so numerous.

Xia Ke was astonished. "Is this house even sound?"

They hoped they hadn’t paid so much money only to end up with a hazardous dwelling, and though they knew the likelihood was low, such thoughts still made them uncomfortable.

At that moment, the property manager truly just wanted to pass out. She had not expected to discover so many issues, and now the owner was questioning the safety of the house.

The property manager desperately wanted to assure them that the house was fine, that the company had really been diligent in building it.

But she couldn’t bring herself to utter those words, not knowing what to say.

Even the assurances of her or the property manager or the developer’s manager couldn’t help now.

It was clear that they were taking the supervisor’s word for it. This really wasn’t a situation a small fry like her could handle.

So she decided to let the leaders take care of it. When she hung up the call and returned to the room, she found that the other four also wanted the supervisor to check the house.

The property manager didn’t dare to look at her colleague’s face; all she could think was that the situation had escalated.

You have to understand that all those inspecting their houses today were colleagues from the same company; if one got wind of issues, it would quickly spread to everyone, causing an uproar.

The property manager was so frustrated she wanted to curse. The owners had spent so much on the houses; why couldn’t they be more careful and build qualitative homes?

If only they had been more conscientious in construction, there wouldn’t be such problems. But no, such issues were for the leaders to face, not for a minion like her to resolve.

The property manager knew it was going to be a busy day and had prepared accordingly, but he never expected that it would turn into such a big issue.

The property manager felt like he was about to collapse, as if the heavens were conspiring against him.

But with no other choice, he had to attend to the matter; otherwise, if the situation escalated further, many would have to take the fall.

Even though it was deep winter, the property manager ran to the site with a head full of sweat. Huang Jing glanced at him, noticing the nameplate on his uniform.

"Hello, I’ve found many issues with the house during today’s inspection," she said.

"Every place marked with a label has a problem. As for the detailed report, that won’t be available until tomorrow."

Huang Jing indicated to the property manager to take a good look at the places marked with labels, "If you think you can explain them, you can go ahead and discuss it with the supervisor."

"If you’re not knowledgeable about it, you can invite someone who is to discuss it."

"I trust the property inspection report anyway." Huang Jing was quite straightforward, placing her trust in the data.

Xia Ke now didn’t think Huang Jing’s expenditure was a waste, but rather considered it a necessary and rightful expense.

They could spot some issues themselves, but many problems went completely unnoticed by them.

After all, this was to be their matrimonial house, and they did not want to encounter issues once settled.

Shen Lan also expressed a need to hire the supervisor for an inspection, much to the supervisor’s delight.

He had thought he was only getting one job, but now he had three more unexpectedly.

In foreign countries, owners bring supervisors along for house inspections, but in China, few do so, viewing it as a waste of money.

Today was inspection day, and many people entered the building to check their homes. Some, too impatient to wait for the elevator, took the stairs and thus noticed the commotion at Huang Jing’s place.

Seeing the crowd around Huang Jing’s apartment, their curiosity was piqued, and they gathered around. Learning that Huang Jing had hired a supervisor for the inspection,

and that real issues were identified, including some serious ones, left many people stunned.

Everyone entered Huang Jing’s apartment to inspect the problems identified by the supervisor themselves. After seeing what was found, nobody thought the money Huang Jing spent was wasted.

Instead, they all felt it was money well spent and started scheduling their own inspections.

Seeing everyone approaching the supervisor to discuss inspections, someone shared this news in the work group chat, shocking many who were also inspecting their homes.

They were high earners and busy with work, wanting to complete their inspections quickly, but that didn’t mean they would lower their standards.

As more people came over to see Huang Jing’s apartment, they also wished to discuss inspection matters with the supervisor.

The property manager and the property manager’s assistant, witnessing the growing crowd, had only one thought: this problem was beyond their capacity to resolve.

The company’s welfare housing having quality issues, particularly not just one but several apartments, was a significant matter. How could the staff not react?

Upon learning of the situation, the company’s leadership knew they had to tackle the problem; otherwise, the employees would lose focus on their work. They quickly set up a task force to liaise with the real estate company to handle the matter.
