Chapter 3858: Chapter 3846: The Ways of the World
"Then sorry to trouble you."
After that, Lin Yi went over the detailed situation in the complex again with Wang Qingyi.
While venting his anger, he also made the plan more thorough.
At the same time, Lin Yi asked for a walkie-talkie to make communication and contact easier.
Once everything was discussed, the group drove over to the residential complex.
Because there were no official markings sprayed on the car, those walking their dogs didn’t realize the Urban Management officers had arrived.
They played on their phones without even lifting their heads, only occasionally glancing up to check if their dogs were still there.
Parking the car in a suitable spot, the Urban Management staff grabbed their gear and got out.
They headed toward the dog that wasn’t on a leash.
"Woof woof woof!"
"Woof woof woof!"
The moment it was caught in the big net and lifted up, the dog started barking madly and kept struggling in the net.
Only then did the female owner react and realize her dog had been caught.
The other people walking dogs without leashes around them also finally noticed that someone was here to catch dogs.
And right at that moment, the other Urban Management officers netted all the remaining unleashed dogs in one go, snatching six dogs at once!
Seeing that Urban Management was actually serious, the others hurriedly picked up their own dogs.
Even those who had leashes on picked their dogs up as well.
"What are you doing! Why are you catching my dog!"
"Why are we catching your dog? The notice at the gate clearly says dogs must be leashed when walked. Didn’t you see it?" Wang Qingyi said sternly.
"Our dog is obedient, there’s absolutely no need for a leash!"
"There’s no freedom at all. Your rules are basically animal abuse."
"Hurry up and give my son back to me, or I won’t be able to live!"
A woman in her forties wearing glasses slapped her thigh in panic, then flopped straight down onto the ground.
"If you take my son away, I won’t live anymore. God, how am I supposed to go on?"
Seeing the middle-aged woman lying on the ground, the others lay down too, trying to use this tactic to make Urban Management release the dogs.
With so many people lying there listlessly, the Urban Management officers were stumped; this kind of scene was exactly what they’d expected.
They’d carried out many similar actions before, but every time it fizzled out because of this sort of thing.
"They’re all faking it, just ignore them. Take the dogs away; if anything happens I’ll take full responsibility."
Lin Yi’s clinical ability was exceptional, and with his incredible eyesight, even from a distance he could observe their condition clearly.
Not a single one of them was actually ill; they were all putting on a show.
Hearing Lin Yi’s words, the Urban Management officers relaxed and their attitude hardened.
"Lying down won’t help you. We’re just doing things by the rules. The notice has been posted for days. You can’t blame anyone else; if you want to blame someone, blame yourselves."
"We never saw any notice. Why should you catch our dogs?"
"Never saw it?"
One of the Urban Management officers pointed at a big tree nearby. "There’s a sign hanging right there. You’re saying you didn’t see it?"
"We just didn’t pay attention."
"That’s your problem, nothing to do with us. We’re acting according to law and regulations. If you think there’s an issue, go file a complaint. Don’t play the rascal here."
After warning the others again, the Urban Management officers put all the captured dogs into the cages on the truck.
"Let me remind you one more time: in future, not only must you leash your dogs, you also need to get a health certificate and dog license. Otherwise you’re not allowed to keep dogs."
With that, the Urban Management officers got back in the vehicle, ignored the people lying on the ground, and drove toward other areas of the complex.
But after what had just happened, all the dog owners hurriedly took their dogs home.
In just an instant, in this huge residential complex, not a single dog could be seen.
"Lin Bro, your plan worked. They all took their dogs home," Zhao Yuhuan said excitedly.
"This counts as killing the chicken to scare the monkeys. I bet this won’t happen again."
"You’re thinking too simply. This is just the beginning. Give it a bit of time; this kind of thing is bound to happen again."
"Then what do we do?"
"This is a long-term project, like cracking down on drunk driving. You have to come every so often; only then will people stop daring to do it."
"You’re right. If they only come once like this, these people definitely won’t learn their lesson."
The Urban Management team wandered around the complex for over an hour. Once they saw there were no more dogs, they regrouped with Lin Yi.
"Captain Wang, thanks for your hard work."
"It’s not hard; this is our job," Wang Qingyi said:
"We’ll stop here for today, but in a day or two these people will come out again. When they do, we’ll come back. We have to get them into the habit. If we don’t really enforce it, there’s no way to stamp this out."
"That’s exactly what I had in mind."
As he spoke, Lin Yi opened the trunk and hauled out a few cases of Maotai and several cartons of Huazi cigarettes.
"Captain Wang, I don’t have much else. Keep some of these, and share the rest with the guys under you."
Seeing what Lin Yi had taken out, Wang Qingyi froze for a moment.
He was actually hauling it out by the case?
All that together had to be around a hundred thousand yuan!
This really wasn’t your average Journalist.
"No, no, no, we’re just doing our duty. This really isn’t appropriate."
"This has nothing to do with work; it’s just between friends. Take it back and drink it—it tastes pretty good."
Lin Yi didn’t give Wang Qingyi a chance to decline. "You’ll have to come back later on as well; I’m counting on you."
"It’s all what we should do; you’re too polite."
After a few more polite exchanges, Lin Yi got back in the car and returned to the office with Zhao Yuhuan.
As soon as they got back, Lin Yi was called away by Zhao Jing.
"I’ve spoken with Director Sun. He said the News Center has a recruitment the day after tomorrow. You and Zhao Yuhuan can go over and run through the process. As for your accounts, you can keep them for now. If future programs overlap with the content of the accounts, you can keep using them."
"That doesn’t sound right. Technically they should stay with the department."
"I’m leaving; what are you keeping them here for? Just take them with you," Zhao Jing said:
"When you go back later, ask Zhao Yuhuan if she wants to leave. If she does, take her along."
"No wonder you’re such a competent leader."
"Don’t butter me up. Without you, whether this program could’ve taken off is still an open question."
"Come on, it all started because of me, so of course I have to see it through."
"Still, you really did great. I just saw Wang Minji earlier—he didn’t even say a word to me. I guess he’s furious. Haha."
"Their show only has Xu Qingqing, and she’s just a pretty face. The audience isn’t stupid; they know what to watch."
"Now that the most important things are settled, the rest will just fall into place. You can start preparing for the interview the day after tomorrow."
