Capítulo 1478: Chapter 1477: The Unpredictability of Human Nature
At the end of the second quarter, which also marks the end of the first half, Jin University was trailing by seven points, but the main players of the visiting team were playing like their lives depended on it.
No matter how good one is at playing basketball, it still boils down to stamina. Otherwise, once exhausted, they won’t be able to keep up.
Even now in the first half, the visiting team already consud so much stamina for just a seven-point lead. That’s not a big deal.
Of course, if the visiting team subs in their bench players, those players might not be exhausted, but their skills definitely can’t compare to those of the main players.
“Advisor, is this what you call a player with CBA potential?”
“Isn’t it? Even Coach Li said so.”
“But if these guys go to the CBA, they’d only be bench players, not even guaranteed court ti,” Ye Qiu said.
Song Ying shot Ye Qiu a glance, while Li Yiping called the main players over to the locker room to ask about their condition, only to find they were just sweating and didn’t feel tired!
This puzzled Coach Li as well, but being seven points behind, he still felt a bit worried. If they fell behind by a few more, they might have to rely on Ye Qiu getting on the court.
The halfti break ended, and the third quarter started. The visiting team swapped out two main players with two bench players, who soon realized they couldn’t keep up with the pace. They wondered if Jin University’s main players had taken stimulants as they seed perfectly fine.
As Jin University was quickly overtaking when Ye Qiu’s phone rang, it was a call from Ling Fei. Ye Qiu asked, “Ling Fei, what’s up?”
“Ye Qiu, sothing happened at my ho,” Ling Fei said anxiously.
Sothing happened?
What happened?
With the basketball arena being so noisy, Ye Qiu didn’t stay and headed outside. As Song Ying and Coach Li cast their gazes his way, Ye Qiu had already left the spectator area.
Once outside, Ye Qiu asked, “What happened at your place?”
“It’s just that the old house at ho is being torn down. My dad found so workers to do it yesterday, but unexpectedly, this morning so city officials ca to stop it. They claid without relevant certificates from the Land Bureau, Urban Managent Bureau, it couldn’t be torn down, and it would affect the disappearance of neighboring houses. Those workers almost fought with the officials. My dad, who works at the printing factory, hurried back after receiving a call.”
Ye Qiu didn’t expect this kind of interference; it seed like soone from the neighboring house reported it!
“Was it the neighbors who purposely reported it?” Ye Qiu asked.
“It’s possible. According to my dad, he discussed with the neighbors that night, and they might have had issues,” Ling Fei said.
In many places, neighbors can be pretty selfish. It’s broad daylight, not night, how could it possibly affect their normal lives?
Obviously, they were jealous Ling Fei’s family was building a new house.
Given that, Ye Qiu decided to escalate the situation.
These small-minded people, he didn’t really regard them.
“Ling Fei, where are you right now?”
“I’m at school, haven’t gone back. I just received my dad’s call, so I called you.”
“Go to the school gate, I’ll drive over to pick you up,” Ye Qiu said.
Ye Qiu headed towards the boys’ dormitory, and his phone rang again. It was Song Ying asking, “Ye Qiu, the ga hasn’t ended yet? Where are you going?”
“Sothing happened at Ling Fei’s house, I have to deal with it. Don’t worry about the basketball ga, Jin University will surpass the visiting team in the second half, by at least twenty points.”
“You bastard, leaving before finishing one thing, dreaming of getting your reward, forget it,” Song Ying said angrily.
Hearing Ye Qiu was going to find Ling Fei, naturally, Song Ying was displeased.
Ye Qiu couldn’t be bothered to say more.
He ended the call, reached the boys’ dormitory, got in the car and drove to the Teachers’ College gate.
Arriving there, he saw Ling Fei looking around. When she saw Ye Qiu’s car pull over, Ling Fei quickly got in.
“My dad secured another place nearby to stay on Friday night, moved so important stuff there, leaving the rest behind. Over the weekend, we moved the stuff, and as the house demolition started this morning, a bunch of city officials showed up to stop it,” Ling Fei said.
“Almost got into a fight?”
“My dad said the hired workers nearly fought with the officials. They just started working, and these officials ca to stop them. Naturally, they were upset.”
“Let’s go over first,” Ye Qiu drove towards the urban village where Ling Fei lived.
Arriving near the sports field, they parked the car, got out, and headed into the urban village.
The alleys here are only a ter wide, so cars can’t get in, not even couriers. Mainly the residents on both sides are selfish, not willing to give up two ters of road, so now big vehicles and excavators can’t get in either.
Now wanting to demolish the old house, it can only be done manually.
The workers might use drills and sledgehamrs for the demolition, which would definitely be noisy, but it’s only a few days at most. After all, it’s just an eighty-square-ter two-story old house, it won’t take long to dismantle.
Unexpectedly, so people reported and opposed it, causing deliberate trouble.
Ye Qiu and Ling Fei went inside, and saw a few city officials leaving. Ye Qiu ignored them, continued inside, and saw a few laborer-looking n standing there smoking, alongside the return of Ling Zhengwei, who also didn’t expect this to happen.
Now everything had to be halted.
Upon seeing Ye Qiu and Ling Fei approaching, Ling Zhengwei finally let out a sigh of relief and said, “Just now a dozen city officials ca to stop us, saying without approval from the Urban Managent Bureau, Land Bureau, Housing Bureau, and the village, we couldn’t demolish the old house privately.”
Ye Qiu recalled that ti when he just opened the Imperial Cuisine Restaurant, and there was interference by these city officials as well. Later, Ye Qiu told Li Qianqian and her father these things were no big deal.
“Uncle Ling, I just want to ask if it was the neighbors who deliberately reported it?”
“It should be. This area isn’t within a demolition zone, nor a red zone, usually no city officials co here. Now just starting the demolition, there’s so many city officials showing up.”
“Then who do you think it was?” Ye Qiu asked.
“It’s hard to say, human nature is unpredictable. Those neighbors around, I can’t quite understand what they’re thinking. I already inford them earlier there might be so noise, but in broad daylight, it wouldn’t affect their normal rest.”
Now the old house had already been partially hamred, it couldn’t just be left like that.
Of course, Ye Qiu certainly wasn’t going to leave it at that.
“Uncle Ling, notify the heads of the neighboring houses to co for a eting this afternoon. If they don’t co, they’ll face the consequences,”
“Dr. Ye, what do you plan to do?” Ling Zhengwei asked.
“I’m certainly not joking with them. Since they don’t respect you, I won’t give them any face either. When they don’t dare to co, they’ll know the consequences,”
