Chapter 189 They don't even want the huge compensation? They're really asking for trouble!
On the airport expressway.
Inside a speeding taxi.
Hearing Han Changyu's humble words, Zhang Xiaoxue frowned slightly.
"Let's not talk about apologies yet. First, tell me, where did you get my number?"
Han Changyu truthfully replied, "When you bought the car and registered it, didn't you leave your phone number at the vehicle management office? So I asked a friend to check it out."
"However, I didn't mean anything by it. I just wanted to contact you as soon as possible to apologize for my brother's impulsive and reckless behavior."
Zhang Xiaoxue smiled coldly.
Is your brother a minor?
"No."
Han Changyu answered crisply and decisively.
Knowing that Zhang Xiaoxue had powerful connections, her cousin Han Changfeng's background information must have been thoroughly investigated long ago.
How can you lie through your teeth and say that your younger brother is still a minor?
Is it okay for a kid to ride a road racing motorcycle at night and cause a ruckus in the streets?
Zhang Xiaoxue sneered, "Since he's not a minor, why are you apologizing on his behalf? He's an adult and should take responsibility for his actions!"
Han Changyu quickly said, "You're right. He's not a three-year-old anymore, yet he's still so immature. He should take responsibility for his mistakes."
"However, as his family, we failed to discipline him properly, so we also bear an unshirkable responsibility for what happened last night, and we should apologize to you both morally and logically."
Now that he is asking for forgiveness, Han Changyu naturally adopts a very humble attitude.
But how could he know?
Zhang Xiaoxue just wanted to get to the airport and fly to Dongjingzhou, Wuhan to see Zhao Ruilong.
So no matter how good Han Changyu's attitude was, she had no interest in talking any more.
With her intelligence, she certainly knew that Han Changyu had managed to find her phone number.
Therefore, the so-called apology would inevitably involve spending a large sum of money in an attempt to avoid further trouble.
"I understand your intentions."
"As for your brother... let the Jiangcheng police handle it according to the laws and regulations!"
Hearing this, Han Changyu became anxious.
Handle according to law...
My cousin is definitely going to jail.
"Miss Zhang, it is said that it is better to resolve conflicts than to let them fester. You are a magnanimous person. What do you think about how we can settle what happened last night privately?"
“I know you’re from Northeast China, and it must have been tough for you to come all the way to Linjiang to study and work. You must be upset that my brother offended you.”
"Therefore, to ask for your understanding, we have not only prepared a brand-new Passat sedan for you, but also a generous gift, you..."
"A generous gift? How generous?"
Zhang Xiaoxue asked with a smile, quite intrigued.
Han Changyu mistakenly believed that Zhang Xiaoxue had fallen for him.
After all, she was only twenty-eight years old, in the prime of her life, and quite highly educated.
If it weren't for fame, fortune, and future prospects, why would she become the mistress of a much older and powerful figure?
Moreover, the Han family not only had to compensate her with a new car worth a considerable sum, but also a generous gift.
How many women in the world could resist being moved?
Besides, by accepting this generous gift, she would no longer have to disregard her dignity and shame to become a mistress for a powerful figure.
“We know you were frightened last night and were quite angry with my brother’s impulsive and reckless behavior.”
"Therefore, in order to demonstrate our sincerity in seeking reconciliation to the greatest extent possible, we hope to gain your understanding."
"The generous gift we've prepared for you is a trunk full of cash!"
Zhang Xiaoxue was stunned.
She guessed that the Han family would spend money to avoid trouble in order to keep the peace.
They also anticipated that the other party had certain connections. Even if they couldn't find out their background, they could guess that since Director Luo had been alarmed, it certainly wasn't something that could be resolved with just a little money.
however……
She underestimated the power of the Han family.
"Even if the trunk has a capacity of 400 liters, you're carrying old banknotes and cash."
"So, roughly speaking, you've prepared around twenty or thirty million, right?"
Han Changyu heard Zhang Xiaoxue ask this question.
I felt much more at ease.
Since ancient times, wealth has been a powerful motivator!
Besides, she's just a young woman!
As long as you are willing to understand, you can get so much money all at once.
Tell me, how many people in the world could remain unmoved?
"I'm not sure about the exact amount, but it was packed full. I roughly estimate it to be around 30 million."
Zhang Xiaoxue gave an awkward smile.
"thirty million!"
"My monthly salary plus bonus is less than three thousand yuan."
"I would have to work for three thousand years without eating or drinking to earn this much!"
"Yet your Han family can so easily come up with such a large sum of money to apologize..."
Han Changyu quickly said, "Isn't this to appease you and make you understand? We've emptied our savings and borrowed from all our relatives and friends."
Zhang Xiaoxue sneered.
"Then your Han family must be quite wealthy."
"For an ordinary family, let alone raising 30 million in one night."
"Even three million or three hundred thousand might not be enough to raise!"
Han Changyu said, "Miss Zhang, we have no intention of showing off. Our family has been in business for more than ten years and has accumulated some savings. Our relatives, friends and business partners are also willing to help us."
"Please, considering our sincerity, let my cousin off the hook, okay? If you still feel it's not enough, you can have him detained for a few days, but please, please don't file a criminal case, okay?"
Zhang Xiaoxue asked curiously, "Why is your version different from what your cousin said?"
"Last night, in front of me and my friends, he boasted that his father is the deputy director of the Wangjiang District Transportation Bureau!"
"How come when it comes to you, you say your family has been in business for over ten years?"
Han Changyu immediately explained:
“It’s my family that runs the business; my uncle doesn’t.”
“My dad and his family had three brothers, and they separated their households many years ago.”
"My uncle went into politics and is now the deputy director of the Wangjiang District Transportation Bureau."
“My dad and my third uncle didn’t do well in school, so they started doing business very early.”
Zhang Xiaoxue understood.
This is a typical small family that combines official and business connections.
When one person has power, the whole family gets rich!
As Han Changfeng's father rose through the ranks, their family's business also flourished.
It is extremely difficult for ordinary people to make money, but for them, engaging in power-money transactions makes money easily and effortlessly.
The whole family depends on Han Changfeng's father and relies on his power to make money.
Therefore, Han Changfeng was naturally spoiled and became arrogant and domineering, looking down on everyone.
Now that Han Changfeng has caused a major disaster, his whole family is naturally contributing money and effort to try and resolve the situation as quickly as possible.
but……
The logic makes sense now.
But the 30 million yuan apology not only failed to arouse Zhang Xiaoxue's interest, but instead aroused her disgust.
How could such a large sum of money have been earned legally?
I wonder how many construction projects have been built with shoddy workmanship and inferior materials to make so much ill-gotten money.
No wonder that in Wangjiang District, many roads were built, but they became potholed and damaged not long after they were opened, and had to be smashed and rebuilt again.
How could I possibly accept such heartless money?
Moreover, the fact that they spent so much money clearly indicates that it wasn't just for an apology.
They might also want to take this opportunity to win me over and further expand our relationship.
In order to build a stronger network of connections, they can secure more projects and make more ill-gotten gains in the future.
How could Zhang Xiaoxue not understand this kind of tactic?
Zhang Xiaoxue is making money through business.
But she doesn't want to earn just any kind of easy money.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have realized the various drawbacks of the education and training industry and decided to withdraw her investment.
If it were simply about making money, she could have delayed and waited longer.
It's not too late to withdraw your shares once the company is truly being rectified.
"Hello, Ms. Zhang, what's your decision?"
"If it's convenient, just point to any place now, and I'll drive the car there for you!"
"The purchase contract and invoice receipt have been prepared for you. I will leave the car keys in the car."
"You can just have someone drive the car away later, you don't even need to show up, it's both convenient and safe, what do you think?"
Han Changyu believed he had been sincere enough and had considered things very thoroughly.
however……
Zhang Xiaoxue smiled faintly.
"What happened last night is not worth you spending so much money to apologize. I'll say it again, handle it however you need to handle it."
"I believe the Jiangcheng police will handle this matter according to the law and regulations, and please believe that too! That's all, and please don't call or message me again!"
After saying that, Zhang Xiaoxue hung up the phone.
Looking out the window, the terminal building of Jiangcheng International Airport is getting closer and closer.
And the other side.
Han Changyu, who had already prepared to leave, was stunned.
He stood there stunned for several seconds before asking in astonishment:
"What's going on? What's going on?"
"Is this woman crazy, or is she sick?"
"A brand new Passat sedan, plus twenty or thirty million!"
"Damn it, I apologized to her so sincerely, and she still won't accept it?"
Han Changyu quickly got out of bed and hurriedly went out the door.
"Xiaoyu! Come and have breakfast!"
Han Dongli shouted.
"Uncle, I just called Zhang Xiaoxue, and she actually refused to accept our apology."
“I made it clear to her that we were going to give her a new car with the trunk full of cash.”
Han Changyu strode forward, his face flushed with anger, and said...
"what?"
Han Dongli suddenly stood up, looking astonished.
"We'll buy her a new car and give her so much money, why wouldn't she take it?"
"Does she look down on our little bit of money because she's so rich?"
Han Changyu stated firmly:
"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"
"The car she drove last night was just a very ordinary Citroën sedan."
"And it's an older manual transmission model that's several years old. It'd only fetch around 30,000 to 40,000 yuan as a secondhand item."
No sooner had she finished speaking than Liao Caixia suddenly rushed out of the kitchen.
"Just who is that woman?"
"She doesn't want twenty or thirty million, so does she want one or two hundred million?"
"Xiao Feng only smashed two of her car windows; he didn't hurt her."
Han Changyu said urgently, "Judging from her tone, it doesn't sound like she wants more money."
She said that what happened last night wasn't worth us paying so much money, and that we should trust the Jiangcheng police to handle it according to the law!
A loud bang.
Liao Caixia slammed the spatula she was holding onto the table.
"Bullshit!"
"What do you mean by handling it according to law and regulations?"
"If it were really handled according to the law and regulations, with points deducted, fines, and some compensation, Xiao Feng should have been released long ago."
"But now, not only have they not released him, they seem to be trying to pin many charges on Xiao Feng!"
Han Dongli extended his right hand.
"Give me your phone, I'll call her myself."
Han Changyu shook his head repeatedly.
"She said not to call or text her anymore."
"what?"
Han Dongli glared angrily.
"Damn it, they really don't know what's good for them!"
"I was trying to apologize to her out of kindness, and she's acting all high and mighty, huh?"
Liao Caixia untied her apron and asked menacingly:
"Have you found out where she lives? Tell me, I'm going to find her right now!"
Han Changyu shook his head again.
"She lives in Jiangcheng and is registered under the collective household registration of Linjiang University, so we couldn't find her detailed address."
"However, since Linjiang Radio and Television Station is paying her social security, she should be working at the station!"
Liao Caixia snorted coldly:
"Fine! Since she works at a TV station, I'm even more determined to confront her!"
"I want all her colleagues and superiors to know how unreasonable she is!"
"It's such a trivial matter, is it really necessary to treat my son like this? Do you really think we're easy to bully?"
"Besides, she was in the wrong first. If she hadn't changed lanes recklessly and almost hit Xiao Feng, would Xiao Feng have been so angry that he smashed her car?"
A burnt smell wafted over.
Han Changyu rushed into the kitchen and turned off the gas stove.
When he came out of the kitchen, he saw Liao Caixia and her husband already changing their shoes in the entrance hall.
Are you both going?
"I'll take her there, but I won't show my face."
"But it's Saturday today, she might not be at work!"
Han Changyu took two steps forward, and after getting closer, he said:
"Moreover, she said she trusts the Jiangcheng police and will handle the matter in accordance with the law and regulations."
"We can't really call her unreasonable because of what she said!"
Desperate to save her son, Liao Caixia threw down her leather shoes.
"Then what do you think we should do?"
Han Changyu looked at his uncle.
"Since she works at a TV station, let's find the relevant department leaders."
"I refuse to believe that she would dare to be so shameless over such a trivial matter, especially after the leader intervened to mediate!"
