Chapter 277 - 277 194 Car Clothes_3
?Chapter 277: Chapter 194 Car Clothes_3 Chapter 277: Chapter 194 Car Clothes_3 This investment wasn’t just throwing money away, but was converted into an equivalent share of stock.
Of course, all of this would have to wait until he did his research and confirmed there were no issues before proceeding.
…
The key turned, “clack—” the door was gently opened.
Immediately after, Xu Qing’s head peeked inside, and upon confirming that her bestie wasn’t in the living room, she tiptoed in.
Entering the bedroom, she closed the door, patted her chest, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
It was a good thing that Yanyan hadn’t discovered her, otherwise she would have interrogated her to no end at the sight of her outfit.
She wanted to wait until the investment was confirmed to give her a huge surprise.
“Qingqing,” suddenly, a familiar voice came from the side.
“Ah!” Xu Qing let out a startled yell, her hair practically standing on end.
Shen Yuyan, who was sitting in front of the computer, turned around, watching her with a scrutinizing gaze.
Pouting, Xu Qing said, “Why are you in my room, you scared me!”
The sound of wheels turning filled the air as Shen Yuyan rose from the computer chair.
She walked over gracefully, snatched the Dior gift bag from her hand, and gave it a quick look.
A Dior chain handbag, LV perfume, Chanel scarf, lipstick.
After that, Shen Yuyan leaned in to smell her breath and frowned, “You’re dressed so seductively, drank so much with a client, and now you’re holding luxury goods worth nearly 30,000 yuan!”
“That expensive!?” Xu Qing exclaimed, quickly taking the gift bag back from her bestie and clutching it to her chest, nervously saying, “This is mine! All mine! I’m definitely not sharing this with you this time!”
Shen Yuyan pinched her on the butt and said in an annoyed voice, “Qingqing, you haven’t been out selling yourself, have you?”
“Sell… selling myself?” Xu Qing’s eyes widened suddenly, her cheeks burning red, “How could that be! Scheming Yanyan, what are you talking about!”
“So, what’s all this about then, silly Qing?”
“That’s such an awful nickname!”
The two embraced and tussled for a while, and Shen Yuyan pinned the slightly tipsy Xu Qing on the bed, pinching her cheek, “Spill it, what’s really going on?”
She knew her bestie very well and of course didn’t believe she would go out and do something like selling herself.
However, she could also tell from Xu Qing’s actions and demeanor that she was hiding something from her.
“Hmph!” Xu Qing snorted through her nose, yawning and said in a slurred speech, “I’ll tell you, I’ve got a lead on the investment for your company. Send me the business plan later, he said, as long as there’s nothing wrong with your company, he’ll invest in the project!”
Shen Yuyan lowered her head and touched foreheads with her, “You’re a bit hot, are you feverish? Or is it from the drinking?”
Seeing her bestie’s disbelief, Xu Qing “hummed and hawed” for a while, then slowly closed her eyes, “Anyway, you have to send it to me, it wasn’t easy for me to get this opportunity.”
She had indeed drunk a bit too much tonight, and now that she was back home, plus the tussling with Shen Yuyan, she felt dizzy and her eyelids were incredibly heavy.
“Alright, I’ll send it when I have time.”
“Send it now!” Xu Qing stretched her hand inside her pajamas.
Shen Yuyan’s face turned red in an instant, “Alright, alright, I’ll send it to your email right away! Let go of me!”
“Mm, so sleepy, I’ll sleep for a bit.” Xu Qing yawned and completely closed her eyes.
Shen Yuyan helplessly ruffled her hair.
She began to help her change into pajamas and wipe her face.
Looking at Xu Qing’s flushed face.
Shen Yuyan felt a sense of loss as if her immature little sister had grown up.
Hiding dates with boys from her, dressing up in school uniforms, receiving gifts, and drinking so much.
Maybe in a while, she’d start dating, talk about marriage and settling down.
Ever since they became desk mates in the first grade, 13 years of friendship never waned, as they had already grown used to each other.
Thinking that someday they would each have their own families and live separately, Shen Yuyan felt a touch of melancholy.
…
June 2, 2023, Friday, clear turning to cloudy, 17~29°C.
10 A.M.
“Ring ring ring—” “Ring ring ring—”
The piercing sound of the phone ringing was relentless.
Zhou Dongbing patted him on the back, “Wenning, your phone is ringing.”
Liu Wenning rolled over, blinking blearily, and picked up his phone from the nightstand.
He yawned and answered the call, his voice tired, “Hello, who’s this?”
After leaving the restaurant last night, Cheng Qiuyu went to sleep next door, while Liu Wenning and two friends continued drinking at home until after two in the morning, and he was still feeling hungover.
Soon, a serious voice came through the receiver.
Liu Wenning’s eyes widened, and he instantly sobered up, saying somewhat nervously, “Yes, I’m Liu Wenning, Zhou Dongbing is right beside me, may I ask what you need from us?”
“We were indeed at Yinyue Banquet until late last night, but I’m not exactly sure what time we left.”
“Kicking the car? Oh, it seems that did happen, mainly because we were drunk at the time, not thinking clearly, plus we were happily chatting with friends, so we just lightly scuffed off the mud on our shoes, it wasn’t intentional.”
“Apologize in person? Compensate 500 yuan? We can pay the money, we just need proof that the scratch on his car cover is worth that much. Apologizing in person, I’m afraid that’s not possible, we’re all very busy with work.”
After hanging up the phone, Liu Wenning’s face became quite embarrassed.
Zhou Dongbing had also sobered up, frowning, he asked, “Was that the car owner from yesterday?”
Liu Wenning nodded, “He said we scratched his car cover and that if we apologize in person, 500 yuan would be enough to settle it.”
Zhou Dongbing cursed, “Fuck! Is it really necessary? Was it just a few scuffs of mud? This guy is such a jerk! He wants us to apologize in person? I’m not indulging his nonsense!”
“Yeah, I’m definitely not going to do that, at worst it’ll just be a lawsuit and a fine. Let’s go, I’m starving, let’s call up Moli and eat downstairs.”
Liu Wenning shrugged, not taking it to heart.
Not apologizing isn’t illegal, after all, he didn’t say he wouldn’t pay the money.
It was just a scratch on a car cover, the damage amount was minor, and would not involve any administrative penalties.
Thinking about Tang Song’s angry expression brought a touch of schadenfreude to his heart.
…
30th floor of Cloud Stream Building.
Inside the K1 live stream studio which was being renovated.
Under the guidance of the construction manager, Wang Dongliang, Tang Song took a careful look around.
The overall style was beginning to take shape.
It had the feel of a luxurious five-star hotel dressing room.
The overall color scheme was a refined, off-white complemented by noble gold, with walls covered in high-grade silk wallpaper that felt delicate and had a gentle sheen.
The floor was laid with dark solid wood, giving a sense of quality, and making the entire studio look more serene and comfortable.
Overall, the atmosphere was rich, very fitting for their target audience.
Tang Song nodded approvingly, smiling, “Good, keep up with this style for the K2 and K3 studios too.”
Wang Dongliang quickly replied, “Alright President Tang! No problem!”
As soon as he had spoken, his phone began to ring.
Tang Song gestured towards him and answered the call, stepping out, “Hello, yes.”
“Hello, is this Tang Song? This is the *** police station in West Bridge District. We’ve communicated with the two individuals who kicked the car…, please check if that is acceptable, otherwise, we can continue to coordinate.”
“Not accepting an apology in person?” Tang Song shook his head, politely replying, “Alright, thank you for your efforts, I’ll just proceed through the normal legal channels for accountability and compensation.”
He hung up the phone.
Tang Song wasn’t particularly concerned about the incident.
The Mercedes-Benz S450L was registered under a company’s name, there was no need for him to be personally troubled with such minor issues.
He then made a direct call to Zhao Xingzhi at QJ Law Firm, briefly explained the situation.
He also sent over the car cover’s invoice and store information.
After getting home last night, he had found the car cover’s details in a safe.
A V-KOOL custom model, invoiced at 60,000 yuan.
Its puncture resistance and tensile strength were top-notch.
Normally, such scratches could be fully repaired with a heat gun.
However, he could also negotiate with the store for a brand-new car cover replacement.
Even if only the rear section was replaced, the cost would definitely exceed 10,000 yuan.
This case involved intentional property damage, reaching the standards for criminal prosecution, and he was confident that once the other party recognized the situation, they would surely take the initiative to offer an apology.
