"I, I am."
Wu Rui's face was pale and she looked at a loss.
She only now realized that she had offended some powerful person, otherwise why would the industrial and commercial bureau, fire department, and tax bureau come to her house at the same time, and even a lawyer be dispatched?
"This is the lawyer's letter that Miss Shi entrusted us to send to you."
The lawyer, dressed in a suit, handed over a document. "According to Article 469 of the Civil Code, oral contracts are valid, and there are transfer records to prove their existence. If you refuse to fulfill your obligations now, you may be sued for compensation. We're here to discuss the details with you."
Wu Rui opened her mouth in disbelief: "Wait a minute. Who are you talking about?"
"Ms. Shi Zhixuan." said the lawyer.
"Yes, it's her?"
Wu Rui's breath was choked, and her legs became weak again. She hurriedly called the girl at the front desk: "Xiao He, help me sit inside for a while."
"etc."
The industrial and commercial and taxation staff stopped her and said, "Please cooperate with us to complete the investigation and evidence collection."
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry."
Wu Rui quickly apologized and said, "Can you give me a few minutes, just a few minutes?"
"Then as soon as possible."
"well."
After being helped into her office, Wu Rui sat down on her chair. She felt her throat was dry and took a few big gulps of water.
She checked Douyin a few more times and was flooded with negative news about the dance studio, including unpaid wages, induced consumption, refund disputes, and breach of contract.
Wu Rui couldn't understand how a few ordinary female college students could have such a background?
Besides, it’s just two or three thousand yuan, is it really necessary to make such a big fuss?
If you had told me earlier that you had this kind of relationship, I would have returned the money to you immediately!
Isn't this just using an anti-aircraft gun to kill a mosquito?
Wu Rui broke out in a cold sweat. Not to mention the tax, industry and commerce departments finding fault, and the intervention of lawyers, the negative news on the Internet alone was enough to make her face the dilemma of having no business for three months and go bankrupt.
"I've lost my mind. How could I even think of bullying them?"
The girl at the front desk stood aside timidly. She now had only one thought: the dance studio was going to close. Would I be able to get paid?
"Boss, do you have any connections I can contact?"
The girl at the front desk asked cautiously.
"I don't have any backing!"
Wu Rui was furious: "If I had a strong backer, would I have ended up like this? Only opening a dance studio this small?"
That's it. The girl at the front desk felt a chill in her heart. Now that the dance studio has closed down, she's afraid that all her work this month will be in vain.
Although she had only been working for two years, she could also realize what the pomp and circumstance just now meant. The tax, industrial and commercial, fire protection, and even the lady boss of the law firm had offended some big shots.
It is impossible to tell that those female college students have such background.
Wu Rui took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down. First, she had to figure out which big Buddha was behind the trouble, and then see if there was any room for maneuver.
"Let me make a few calls first."
Wu Rui was about to make a phone call when the girl at the front desk's phone rang a few times. She glanced at it quietly, her eyes suddenly widened, and then she looked at Wu Rui again and subconsciously took two steps back.
"What's wrong?" Wu Rui frowned.
"Nothing, nothing." The girl at the front desk quickly shook her head.
"Tell me, don't you forget who pays you every month!" Wu Rui said in a commanding tone.
The girl at the front desk lowered her head and said, "Someone said you have HIV and genital warts."
"What?!"
Wu Rui only felt a pain in her chest, as if her mammary glands were blocked.
"These damn people are really good at spreading rumors!"
Wu Rui was so angry that she gritted her teeth, but the most urgent thing was to solve the source, so she called several colleagues, but either no one answered, or they said they were busy and hung up in a hurry.
"These bitches! I treated them to dinner last month, and now they won't even answer my phone calls when something happens!"
Wu Rui continued to make the call while cursing. She had been working in this industry for more than ten years and had some connections. Finally, someone with whom she had a good relationship told her the truth.
"Wu Rui, let me make it clear in advance that you should not tell anyone else that I told you about this. I only told you this because of our friendship." The person on the other end of the phone said.
"Don't worry, I definitely won't say it was you who said it."
Wu Rui was polite, but she was cursing in her heart. If I hadn't lent you 50,000 yuan last year, would you be so kind to tell me? And you even put it as a nice gesture of friendship!
After hearing the description, Wu Rui frowned. She didn't expect that it was Mr. Yu from Jingfu Health.
Last month, she went to Jingfu to visit Yu Jifeng, hoping to discuss business cooperation, but Yu Jifeng looked down on her small temple and refused to even give her a chance to have a meal.
Since being acquired a few months ago, Jingfu has begun to expand its business, from gyms to yoga studios, to dance studios. In addition, its online traffic diversion effect is particularly good, and it has become the largest chain health institution in Lu District.
If you compare Jingfu Health with her Ruofeng Studio, it's like a Tsinghua PhD versus an elementary school student. There's no comparison at all.
Is there something wrong with those three women? You have such a close relationship with Mr. Yu from Jingfu Health, you can just go to their dance studio to practice dancing. Why do you have to rent a space in a small dance studio like mine?
After hanging up the phone, Wu Rui was overwhelmed. With Jingfu's size, it would be as easy as crushing an ant to her.
"I'll go find Mr. Yu and see if there's any room for maneuver. After all, it's just a few thousand dollars. There's no need to make it like this."
Wu Rui could no longer sit still. She first asked her subordinates to cooperate with the tax, industrial and commercial departments in the necessary investigations, and then communicated with the lawyer, hoping that he would give her some time.
These are easy to solve. As long as the source problem is solved, they will not cause trouble again.
Arriving at Jingfu's vice president's office, Wu Rui faced Yu Jifeng and carefully recounted the entire incident. Then, she earnestly pleaded, "Mr. Yu, how about this? I'll refund three times the amount of money to Miss Shi and the other two, and then give them three free lifetime membership cards. Is this all right?"
Seeing that Yu Jifeng was still indifferent, Wu Rui sat forward and said, "I'm not afraid of you laughing at me. I'm 35 years old. My husband is an alcoholic, violent and gambling addict. I'm divorced. I have elderly parents and young children to support. I'm the only one who can support the whole family."
"Stop, stop."
Yu Jifeng waved his hand: "I'm not very clear about those Miss Shi and others you mentioned. I'm afraid you have found the wrong person."
"Mr. Yu, I don't have any recording equipment with me, and my phone isn't recording, so you can rest assured. As a small business owner like us, we wouldn't dare to think that way."
Wu Rui took out her phone, unlocked the screen, and placed it on the table. She said sincerely, "Mr. Yu, I really know I was wrong. Please forgive me this time."
"It takes the person who tied the bell to untie it. It's no use blaming me for this."
"Mr. Yu, what do you mean?"
Wu Rui thought about it for a moment, then suddenly realized: "I understand, Mr. Yu. I will go and apologize to Miss Shi in person right now. As for you..."
"I'll ask my superiors for instructions." Yu Jifeng said lightly.
"Go up, there are people up there?!"
Wu Rui opened her mouth blankly.
Yu Jifeng didn't answer, but she already understood. She thought she had offended President Yu, but she didn't expect there was a boss at a higher level.
I am so stupid! Why did I bully those three female college students for a little profit?
If the other party refuses to show leniency, then it's completely over.
"Then, Mr. Yu, I'll go and apologize to Miss Shi and the others first."
Wu Rui didn't dare to stay any longer. If she didn't solve this problem today, she wouldn't be able to sleep.
She humbly found Shi Zhixuan and the other two in the Foreign Affairs Department, and directly took out her mobile phone to transfer five times the amount of money to Shi Zhixuan.
She originally wanted to transfer it 3 times, but now that the situation has come to this, she is afraid that even 5 times will not be enough to resolve the situation.
If the other party is still dissatisfied, she is always ready to pay more.
Losing money is a small matter, save your life first!
"Ms. Shi, Ms. Peng, Ms. Aisha, I'm so sorry. I deeply regret my actions and I'm sorry for causing you any harm in this matter. I'm sorry."
Wu Rui bowed solemnly.
The three of them hadn't figured out the situation yet. They looked at each other, trying to find the reason in each other's eyes.
The contrast between before and after is quite big. In the morning he was arrogant and refused to coordinate, but now he just bowed down and even transferred 5 times the money for compensation.
When the lawyer called Shi Zhixuan, they thought that this kind of dispute would not be resolved so quickly, so they were prepared for a protracted battle. Unexpectedly, Wu Rui took the initiative to come to their house to apologize before even the evening.
Seeing that the three of them didn't respond, Wu Rui continued, "You can go to dance practice whenever you want. I will definitely help you coordinate it. 7-9 o'clock is no problem. I can arrange any dance studio."
Peng Yayun said disdainfully, "How dare we go to your place?"
"If you want to go, go. If you don't want to go, I won't force you."
Wu Rui humbly said, "In addition, I will give you a lifetime free membership card. You can come anytime you want. I don't mean anything else, I just hope you can forgive me. I will definitely change."
"I'm not afraid of you laughing at me. I'm 35 years old this year. My husband is an alcoholic, violent and gambling addict. I've divorced him. I have elderly parents and young children to support, and I'm the only one who supports the whole family."
"Stop it first."
Shi Zhixuan didn't believe this at all. She pulled Aisha and Peng Yayun aside and said in a negotiating tone, "I guess Shen Yuan put pressure on her. Do you think you should forgive her?"
Peng Yayun said angrily, "What's there to forgive? People like her should have their store closed down!"
"Elsa, what do you think?" Shi Zhixuan looked at Elsa.
Aisha's cute little face paused for a moment, "She's already refunded five times the money, which is enough for us to practice for more than a month."
Peng Yayun looked at her unhappily: "She is willing to give it back to us this time because of Shen Yuan. If she meets someone else, do you think she will give it back?"
"But wouldn't it be bad if we were too extreme?" Elsa said with a drooping face.
Shi Zhixuan nodded and said, "I also think we should leave a way out when doing things. What if her store really closes down and she seeks revenge on us? Who knows what such a person with no bottom line will do."
Peng Yayun sighed and said, "Forget it. You both voted not to pursue the matter. It's useless for me to say more."
"Senior, it seems you are even more powerful than I thought." Aisha said with her clear eyes blinking.
Peng Yayun puffed out her chest proudly: "Of course, otherwise why would we practice dancing so hard? Just wait, good things are yet to come."
Shi Zhixuan nodded silently. She suddenly realized that opening a dance studio might be a very simple thing for Shen Yuan. The resources and energy behind him were far beyond their imagination.
Shi Zhixuan told Wu Rui the result of the discussion. After hearing it, she burst into tears, as if a heavy burden had been lifted from her shoulders. She thanked him repeatedly and invited the three of them to dinner.
However, Shi Zhixuan and the others wanted to stay away from such a person, so they would never go out to eat with her.
When Wu Rui was about to turn around, the timid Aisha suddenly mustered up the courage to say, "If you do something like this again, we won't let you go."
Wu Rui was stunned at first, then nodded: "Don't worry, I will change it."
Shi Zhixuan rubbed Aisha's head lovingly, and after Wu Rui left, Peng Yayun crossed her arms and said, "A dog will always eat shit. People like this can change for a while, but not forever. Think about it, not everyone has people backing them up like we do. If she met an ordinary person, she would definitely cheat them."
Shi Zhixuan opened her mouth, wanting to say something but stopping herself.
People are selfish. As long as their own problems are solved, who would care about others?
Shen Yuan was swimming when he received Yu Jifeng's call. He walked out of the pool naked, letting the water stains on his body fall to the ground. He wiped his body casually with a towel and said:
"As long as Shi Zhixuan and the others have no objections, it's fine. I don't want to kill them all. Even a cornered dog will jump over the wall. The main thing is to teach that woman a lesson."
"Mr. Shen is wise."
Yu Jifeng praised.
Shen Yuan sneered: "Stop flattering me. Alright, get busy."
"Okay."
Not long after hanging up the phone with Lao Yu, Shen Yuan was about to wipe his wet hair when he unexpectedly received another call from Shi Zhixuan.
"Shen Yuan, thank you. The boss has already refunded us five times the money and even bowed to us to apologize."
"Are you still breathing?"
"No, she was quite sincere. We called mainly to thank you."
Shi Zhixuan's tone was sincere, and Shen Yuan laughed after hearing it: "Thanking you with words is too weak, let's show some gratitude through actions. I heard that you are rehearsing a dance recently, so you can come and perform for me when you are free."
On the other end of the phone, Shi Zhixuan paused, covered the receiver, and looked at the two friends in the dance troupe: "Shen Yuan said he wanted to see us dance."
"Then what are you still standing there for? Hurry up and agree."
Peng Yayun said hurriedly, aren't they practicing dancing every day just to have frequent contact with Chen Yuan?
Elsa thought of the scene at Qingzhu Lake that night, and her face turned red. She wondered if her senior would take advantage of her again this time.
"But we haven't practiced enough, we need to practice more."
Shi Zhixuan said worriedly that she was a perfectionist and wanted to do everything to the best of her ability before showing it off.
Peng Yayun was afraid that this plan would fail, so she quickly said, "Then you should agree first and say we will practice for two days before going over."
Shi Zhixuan took a deep breath, released the receiver, and said, "Sure, but we haven't practiced very well yet, so is it okay if we practice for two more days?"
"It's okay. I happen to be busy tonight. I'll test you again in a couple of days."
At this point, Shen Yuan suddenly thought of something: “By the way, you haven’t had your menstrual period these two days, right?”
"ah?"
Shi Zhixuan didn't expect to be asked this suddenly.
"Tell her I didn't."
Peng Yayun smiled. Shen Yuan never asked unnecessary questions, and his meaning was already very clear.
She didn't show any fear at all. Anyway, she had already given it to Shen Yuan reluctantly last time in the entrepreneurship base office.
Shi Zhixuan and Aisha are still two little chicks. Who knows what interesting things will happen this time. (End of this chapter)
