Chapter 167: Electricity Bill (2/2)



Li Boyang nodded and thanked Li Xiuyuan again before coming out of Li Xiuyuan's office.

The next day, Sunday afternoon, the General Affairs Department was bustling with activity, but Wang Zhitao was not very happy. When it was almost time to get off work, Li Xiuyuan came over. A group of people gathered around Li Xiuyuan and chatted, but Wang Zhitao was silent.

In the evening, they still went to Xiaokang Restaurant, but this time Wu Yiyi came. However, unlike usual when she sat next to Li Xiuyuan, this time Wu Yiyi sat between Mrs. Yang and Sister Zhang.

When the dinner started and the seating was arranged, Li Boyang originally wanted Li Xiuyuan to sit in the main seat, but Li Xiuyuan firmly declined. It didn't matter where he sat, and being a little humble would not affect his authority in comprehensive science.

Sitting next to Li Xiuyuan was Wang Zhitao. Throughout the dinner, Wang Zhitao seemed a little down, with no smile on his face. Li Xiuyuan really wanted to ask him, why didn't he smile? Was he born not to smile?

Even though the rain is wide, it cannot moisten the grass without roots; even though the Dharma is vast, it cannot save those who have no affinity with it. This depends on whether you can do it and are willing to think about it.

After the first dinner ended, everyone else left. In the end, only Li Xiuyuan, Li Boyang, and Wang Zhitao went to the second dinner to eat some barbecue and chat about some private topics.

However, Li Boyang rode a new electric scooter. When going to the barbecue restaurant, Li Boyang asked Li Xiuyuan and Wang Zhitao to take a taxi while he rode his bike there.

After drinking at the barbecue restaurant, Wang Zhitao looked a little drunk, and Li Boyang directly handed the electric car key to Li Xiuyuan.

"Xiuyuan, I'll take Zhitao home. Your home isn't far away, you can ride your bike back."

"Brother Li, what do you mean? You became the new section chief and got a new car." Li Xiuyuan asked while playing with the electric car key.

"No, a few days ago, I was passing by an electric bike store and saw this bike on sale. I bought it on impulse, and later regretted it but couldn't return it. I thought you didn't have an electric bike yet, so I'd ride it for a while. Otherwise, the battery would run out of power if I left it at home. So just consider it a favor and pay for the electricity bill, and I won't give it to you."

Li Boyang supported Wang Zhitao and looked at Li Xiuyuan with a smile. Wang Zhitao had been a little drunk earlier, but he was sobering up. "Fuck, I want to pay for the electricity too. Can you let me ride for a while?" But since he had some emotional intelligence, he didn't dare interrupt.

How could Li Xiuyuan believe Li Boyang's nonsense? He knew exactly what Li Boyang meant.

But Li Boyang's excuse was very convincing. It wasn't a gift, it was just a loan, and he had already bought it.

Should I accept it or not? If I didn't accept it, it would hurt Li Boyang's face. Finally, Li Xiuyuan smiled and said, "Brother Li, if you say so, then I will ride it for two days. I am also planning to buy an electric bike this weekend. You can accompany me to consult with me when the time comes..."

"No, why are you buying an electric bike? This is a new one, just ride it, don't be polite..." Li Boyang was a little anxious, this electric bike was bought specially for Li Xiuyuan.

"Then how about I buy this car?"

Seeing that Li Xiuyuan insisted, Li Boyang had no choice but to quote a price. Of course, it was definitely not the original price, but only a 70% discount.

"One thousand yuan." Li Boyang said.

Li Xiuyuan glared at Li Boyang. "Are you kidding me?" A thousand yuan. There were electric bikes for a thousand yuan back then, but those were the most basic, budget-friendly models, like the Continental Pigeon electric bike. This one was clearly a high-end model, at least around three thousand yuan.

"As for that one thousand yuan, Xiuyuan, I've already told you that I bought this electric car at a discount, and it's second-hand when I sell it to you. If you give me more, I'll smash it now..." Li Boyang had been drinking, and he had to give this gift to you that night.

Li Xiuyuan had a headache, but finally nodded and said, "Okay, then it's one thousand. I'll treat you to a meal later."
