Zhang Xiaoxian touched her face with her hands. Pain, sadness, embarrassment, grievance...all kinds of emotions surged into her heart, and her eyes were filled with tears.
From childhood to adulthood, although she was poor, she had never suffered such grievances!
"Miss Zhu, I'm sorry. I accidentally splashed soup on your clothes. It's my fault." She turned around and apologized with tears in her eyes.
She was the one who made the mistake first, so she can accept an apology.
"Hmph." Zhu Jinzhi looked down on her even more at her humble appearance. She snorted coldly and said arrogantly, "I'll let it go if you compensate me with an identical dress. Otherwise, this matter will not end."
"Ms. Zhu, please be merciful. This is Xiao Zhang's first day at work and she is not familiar with the situation. Please forgive her. Her family is very poor and her parents are sick. She really can't afford to compensate you for the dress." The foreman accompanied her and explained carefully, hoping that the high-ranking Zhu Jinzhi could calm down and let Zhang Xiaoxian go.
But Zhu Jinzhi sneered, "You Xinyue Restaurant are really mean. How much do we spend here every year? You actually let an intern who is on her first day of work come to serve us. Are you looking down on us? Ruining my limited edition clothes is a small matter. The key is how can I wear them out? I tell you, she can't afford to pay, so you, the restaurant, will have to pay. This is your responsibility. You must compensate for this set of clothes. Otherwise, next time I change clothes, you will ruin them again. How much money do I have to spend on this?"
The foreman was dumbfounded.
Today's matter has become a big deal. She has a sad face and secretly shouts that she is doomed.
Zhu Qixiong looked at his arrogant sister coldly and was about to step forward to mediate.
Sudden
Zhang Xiaoxian looked at Zhu Jinzhi and said calmly, "Miss Zhu, I was wrong in what happened today. I've already apologized to you, but you were wrong to hit me. I understand that you want an explanation for the damage to your clothes, but I also want an explanation for the damage you did to me."
"Oh, you did something wrong first, yet you still dare to ask me for an explanation so confidently. You are really capable. It seems that you will not bow your head unless I show you some power. I want to see what you want to ask me for an explanation. Let me tell you, this dress of mine was just custom-made in Paris. There is only one set in the world, and it costs 150,000. Can you afford the compensation, you country bumpkin?" Zhu Jinzhi was furious. She stared at Zhang Xiaoxian arrogantly, as if she wanted to eat her.
Zhang Xiaoxian looked at the glittering gold gems on her body and knew that she was in bad luck today, but she was also a student from a prestigious university, and her personality and self-esteem could not be trampled upon by others.
She pursed her lips, pulled out her phone, and said, "Let's go through what happened tonight one by one. I destroyed your clothes, so I apologize first. Now, you hit me, and I'm going to call the police. The Civil Code stipulates: Anyone who assaults or intentionally injures another person shall be detained for not less than five days but not more than ten days and fined not less than 200 yuan but not more than 500 yuan; for less serious circumstances, they shall be detained for not more than five days or fined not more than 500 yuan. As for compensation for the clothes, we'll just wait for the police to come and make a decision."
Zhang Xiaoxian finished speaking fluently and was about to call the police.
The foreman was horrified.
"Jinzhi, it's the little girl's first day at work. Why are you so harsh on her? Everyone has their first time." At this moment, Xu Xiangzhi immediately stood up, walked over to Zhang Xiaoxian, and scolded her daughter. Then, she smiled and said to Zhang Xiaoxian, "Xiao Zhang, it's all just a misunderstanding. There's no need to call the police. Let's discuss and solve it ourselves, okay?"
Zhang Xiaoxian put down her phone, her fingers trembling.
Originally, she hadn't thought about calling the police, but Zhu Jinzhi was unreasonable and forced her to pay for the clothes. If she really had to pay 150,000 yuan, it would be impossible for her to pay it back given her current situation, and it would also implicate her parents. She had to endure all the beatings she received because she was poor.
"Then may I ask, ma'am, how do you want to solve this problem?" Despite this, she still asked calmly.
"Let me make the decision. My daughter was wrong to hit you, so you don't have to pay for her clothes. Just let it go, okay? Harmony brings wealth." Xu Xiangzhi understood her thoughts and spoke slowly.
Tonight is the meeting between Zhu Qixiong and Wu Xueying, and she doesn't want things to get out of hand.
After hearing this, the foreman felt relieved.
Zhang Xiaoxian also secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Zhu Qixiong's eyes lit up over there. He didn't expect that such a difficult problem was solved by Zhang Xiaoxian herself. She was a country girl who came to the imperial capital for the first time. For a moment, he looked at Zhang Xiaoxian with admiration.
