Chapter 1572 The Way Home, Strange People and Strange Things
Because he had already decided that he would not live in the United States for a long time, Fei Lun did not change his previous residence and move himself into a mansion. He still lives in his 300-square-meter apartment, living a peaceful life just like before.
There's nothing wrong with him here. Although there are a little more residents, they are basically elites with high quality. Coupled with sound security and a quiet environment, he didn't think it was any worse than a mansion.
Of course, he still wants to live in the mansion. But not here, but in China. He has longed for a classical-style residence named Suzhou Gardens for a long time, and now he sends his wife and children to China first. Apart from ensuring that he has no worries, the main reason is to hope that his wife can Find yourself a satisfying garden house there.
If you have money, how can you be worthy of yourself if you are not self-willed? While humming a ditty, Fei Lun drove the car into the underground garage of the apartment. Because there are many celebrities living in this luxurious apartment, the property has already arranged a tight security check starting from the underground garage. Although this is a bit troublesome, neither the stars nor Fei Lun himself has any objection to this point.
In this democratic country where the right to privacy is very important, they have already formed the habit of protecting their privacy. For people like them, they would rather go through one more extra procedure in their daily life, and definitely don't want to be watched by a group of paparazzi all the time.
Of course, the security measures arranged by the property are not troublesome. One-click face recognition to open the door, coupled with the real-life comparison of security personnel, on the premise that all security guards know every resident, the whole process only takes two minutes.
With such tight security, Fei Lun can be said to be very at ease about his own safety. He hardly noticed the abnormality of the surrounding environment, and he walked towards the elevator cheerfully.
He lives on the 18th floor, so he can't take the elevator because of his brain problems. But the problem is that the elevator that he has been working on for five or six years and has never had a problem broke down at this time. Moreover, it was not one elevator that was broken, but a whole row of three elevators that were all malfunctioning.
Such a low-probability event caused Fei Lun, who was engaged in a special industry and had already become suspicious, to curse secretly and nod his back. After a busy day, what he wants to do most is to take a hot bath and then have a good night's sleep. Who would have thought that such a thing would happen near the door of the house.
If ordinary people encountered such a situation, they would probably have no choice but to scold their mothers and work hard on themselves to climb the height of these dozens of floors. However, Fei Lun is more or less a person of status now, and he doesn't intend to let himself suffer from this dumbness. Besides, his daily property fees are not for nothing. Under such circumstances, the property owner, who claims to provide residents with the best environment, must solve this problem for him.
If they dare to evade trouble, he really doesn't mind a lawyer's letter to take them to court.
With full confidence, he doesn't care if it's appropriate for him to do so. So after looking around, he immediately found the property's helpline, and then directly called the security room of the apartment.
Treating these elites as properties provided by God is of course working 24 hours a day. Therefore, it didn't take long for his call to be answered by the staff on duty.
In order to make it easier to confirm which households they serve, the telephones installed here are all closed-circuit telephones with cameras. So when he answered the phone, the staff had already confirmed Fei Lun's identity.
After all, Fei Lun is a well-known host of the show, even if he has changed jobs now, he is still very famous. This makes the way the staff speak very politely.
"Good evening, Mr. Phelan. Is there anything I can do to help you?"
"Mr. Security, don't you know that the elevator is broken? Or do you want to watch your residents climb a dozen floors with their feet before you can really return to your home?"
Of course it was impossible for Fei Lun, who was full of anger, to speak politely, but in the face of his anger, the staff who felt wronged of course laughed carefully.
"Sorry, sir, we don't know about this situation. Please wait a moment, I'll check it out!"
The salary of high-end apartment property staff is not considered low, and now that the US economy is not tight, there are a lot of people who have been laid off. He obviously doesn't want this kind of thing to happen to him. So naturally, after hearing about Faerun's situation, he immediately acted hastily.
This attitude can more or less satisfy Phelan. So he just hummed, lit a cigarette, and waited silently on the spot. It didn't take long for him to board, when a staff member in security uniform came over.
When he saw Fei Lun, he took a few steps quickly and then stopped suddenly at a distance from Fei Lun. This made him stand in the shadow of a stone pillar, and Faerun could only vaguely see his appearance. And in this abnormal position no matter how you look at it, the security guard has already opened his mouth to Fei Lun.
"Mr. Phelan, you said the elevator is broken?"
"Is it broken or not? You don't have your eyes open, so you can't see it?" Still with that kind of impolite attitude, Fei Lun couldn't help but look at the weird guy in front of him while talking like this. The property's closed-circuit calls are two-way. If the other party can see him, he can naturally see the other party. And what he can be sure of is that the security guard in front of him is definitely not the same guy as the guy who called him just now. This made him wake up almost immediately.
"Who are you, the guy I was on the phone with just now is not you!"
"That's Will. He didn't have time to rush over from the security room. I happened to be here, so he asked me to take over the shift. Sir, do you want to deal with the malfunction, or do you want to investigate my identity first?"
The security guard's answer was not polite, but this kind of rude answer gave people a feeling of confidence. Even Fei Lun felt that his vigilance was unnecessary, so he just laughed at himself in his heart, and said to the security guard with a sullen face.
"Okay then, Mr. Security. Can you please fix the problem for me as soon as possible? Or can you just stand there and fix the elevator for me?"
"The elevator problem can be caused by the renovation of the aging wiring in the apartment recently. This can only be solved after the electrician comes to work tomorrow. Mr. Phelan, if you don't mind, please go to the staff passage with me. Elevators are still available.”
"Whatever, please as soon as possible, I'm rushing home!" Fei Lun, who was in a hurry to go home, didn't care about the problem of the staff passage, he just frowned and nodded, giving such an answer. As for his reply, the security guard just shrugged his shoulders and led him to a remote corner that he had never been to before.
"Please come with me, Mr. Phelan. The staff passage is here. Please pay attention to your steps. The lights here are broken, so don't trip over your feet."
The two of them walked all the way, and quickly pushed to a door, and walked into a dark corridor. Because there was no light, Fei Lun could only follow a few steps in a hurry, so that he could see the road in front of him clearly with the flashlight in the security guard's hand. You know, although this apartment is a high-end apartment, it is really old. The employee passageway is used for maintenance and sanitation cleaning, so the environment and smell inside are naturally not very pleasant.
This made Fei Lun feel unlucky. He had already made up his mind and threw away his suit after returning home. Because he accidentally touched many places, he was sure that his body was already dirty. If you have the time to take your clothes to dry cleaning, you might as well just buy a new one. Anyway, with his current net worth, he wouldn't care about the cost of an extra piece of clothing.
The more he thought about it, the more eager he was to go home. And it was precisely because of this that he began to urge the security guard in front of him impatiently.
"Haven't it arrived yet? Where did you install the elevator?"
"Here it is, Mr. Phelan. Please come in!" He stopped in front of a dark wall. The security guard pressed the button on the wall and responded to Phelan like this. And soon, there was a creaking sound like that of an old-fashioned elevator behind the wall. And when there was a bang, the wall, which was originally blurred in the darkness, opened to both sides with a ding, revealing the pull-bar elevator inside.
Because of the lack of ventilation, the smell here is even worse than outside. And they have already come here, Fei Lun can only hold his nose and walk in. Of course, he couldn't help complaining when he did this.
"It's terrible, can't your boss spend a little more money to install a better elevator? This elevator must have a history of more than ten years!"
"Twenty-three years, sir. This elevator has existed since it was a hospital."
After closing the door, the security guard responded to Fei Lun while pressing the button on his own. And this is how he explained it.
"It will be fine soon, Mr. Phelan. The elevators above the fifth floor can be used normally. I don't think you would be willing to go up to the eighteenth floor with this."
"I don't want to stay in this place for a second. Hurry up, sir. I don't know how you can stand the smell."
Fei Lun complained, and kept urging the security guards to act as soon as possible. As for his urging, the security guard just closed the door unhurriedly, and then smiled at him.
"If you work here for decades, you will get used to it, Mr. Phelan!"
