"Sister Wu, I didn't expect something like this to happen. I'm sorry to have implicated you, but don't worry. I'll explain the camera issue to the group and compensate for any losses."
Wu Shuang was surprised and touched, but she really didn't dare to be careless this time. After all, even if she sold all her belongings, she probably couldn't afford a new camera.
She was so distressed that tears welled up in her eyes:
"Sister Jingque, this camera is incredibly expensive. I heard from Xiao Wang that it was imported from Country R. It costs over a thousand yuan, not counting the foreign exchange coupons. How are you going to compensate me?"

Listening to Wu Shuang sobbing and worrying, Shao Jingque forced a smile on his face and patted his chest to assure:
"Don't worry, money is not a problem. Problems that can be solved with money are not a problem at all!"
