Jinjiang Huating residential community, due to poorly maintained elevators and absent property management services, had its residents angrily dismiss the original property management and initiate resident self-governance. Gao Hao was full of ambition, wanting to lower property management fees, increase revenue by revitalizing the community's public resources, and win the support of the residents. However, during the advancement of self-governance, he blindly pursued cost-cutting and profits while ignoring equipment hazards and safety risks. Zhao Jianguo, the director of the homeowners' association, was anxious to prove the feasibility of self-governance and made multiple compromises and concessions. As the commercial parking project landed, conflicts continuously accumulated, and a massive rainstorm triggered a garage flooding accident, causing heavy vehicle damage. Having experienced painful lessons, the residents shed their blind pursuit of low prices and prudently re-selected and recruited property management.
