"Mr. Chen, how can I help you? Do you have any after-sales questions?"
Chen Ya said directly:
"My watch got caught in the table, and now the hour hand isn't moving. What do you think it would take to get it repaired?"
"Please take a video and show it to me."
Chen Ya placed the phone under the camera lens. The store manager looked at it for a while and said, "Turn it over so I can take a look."
After the inspection, the store manager said:
"This is probably because the watch was squeezed by a huge force, and the outer shell was deformed, which stuck the parts inside."
"Can it be repaired?"
"This requires a detailed inspection. If only the internal parts are loose, then the exterior can be restored. If the internal deformation is severe, it may need to be sent back to Switzerland for repair."
"So troublesome?"
The store manager said, "As you know, this watch is a Grande Complication watch, and its internal structure is extremely complex. Every part is as precise as an instrument, ensuring accurate timekeeping. With our skills, repairing and restoring it is somewhat difficult."
"How do you calculate the repair costs?" Chen Ya asked.
"If the damage is not serious, it will only cost about 20,000 to 50,000 yuan. If it needs to be sent back to Switzerland, the cost of repairs and air transportation may range from 200,000 to 400,000 yuan."
After saying this, he added:
"Don't worry about that. When you bought this watch, it included insurance with a maximum limit of 500,000 yuan. I think the repair cost should not exceed the claim amount."
Chen Ya said: "I didn't break the watch, a stranger did."
The store manager frowned and said:
"Then you need to negotiate properly with the other party. Since the amount involved is large, it is recommended that you call the police."
Chen Ya nodded and said, "I understand. By the way, if we send it to Switzerland for repair, how long will it take?"
The store manager thought for a moment and said, "It will definitely take time. Depending on the damage to the watch, plus the shipping back and forth, it will take at least two months if we don't rush it."
Chen Ya said: "If that happens, we will miss the old man's birthday."
"We deeply apologize for this situation, but watches are complex crafts and cannot be rushed."
"I know. What I mean is, if you come back to your store with a watch of this level or better, let me know and I'll buy a new one."
The store manager bowed repeatedly, and Chen Ya hung up the phone and returned to the classroom.
There was some noise in the classroom. The students had already started arguing while he was making the call.
"We were just here, and you were sitting here, right? Your watch was here, and then you pushed me, and my hand was not steady, so I pressed it. If you hadn't pushed it, it definitely wouldn't have been broken."
"But if you hadn't walked this way, you definitely wouldn't have been crushed. I think you must be responsible too, right?"
"That's the only way. If not this way, where else can we go? And you left your watch lying around. Even if we didn't break it, it must have been broken somewhere else."
"Yes, and I just saw that she put the watch on the corner of the table. It felt like she did it on purpose."
"You are slandering me!"
Cha Xiaoming sat in front of Lu Qianzi and whispered angrily:
"I never thought Zhao Anqi was such a person. It was clearly her own fault, but she tried to put the blame on others."
The other students also looked unhappy. After what happened just now, everyone saw what kind of person Zhao Anqi was.
Lu Qian just smiled.
When Zhao Anqi was speaking out just now, no one spoke up for her.
She had long lost interest in these classmates.
Suddenly, she thought of something.
He secretly took out his cell phone, turned on the camera, and pointed it at Zhao Anqi.
…On the other side, Zhao Xinlei was overwhelmed by the noise and stood aside helplessly with his arms folded.
He was a little regretful that he had gotten involved in this matter.
Chen Ya came over from that side. He looked at Chen Ya and asked:
"How much will the repairs cost?"
Chen Ya glanced at him, then at Zhao Anqi, and said:
"It's just an estimate. The exact amount of compensation requires further investigation. Come with me then."
Zhao Anqi was arguing fiercely with someone just now, and now she twisted her neck and said:
"I'm not going. It's not my responsibility alone. Why should I go alone?"
Chen Ya looked at her and narrowed his eyes slightly: "So, are you refusing to pay the claim?"
"I didn't, I just said that I don't want to go alone." Zhao Anqi turned her face away.
Qin Jinna came over and said to Zhao Anqi:
"Student Zhao Anqi, if you are afraid to go alone, you can call your parents, or I can go with you.
"But regarding the compensation issue, we've just reviewed it. This is entirely your fault. There's no reason for you to ask someone else to settle the claim for you."
Zhao Anqi was anxious and said in a crying voice:
"Why am I solely responsible? It was clearly Cha Xiaoming who wanted to wear it, so I borrowed it for him. And wasn't it Lu Qianzi who wanted to show it off? If she hadn't taken it out, why would I have it in my hands?"
Upon hearing this, Cha Xiaoming and other classmates became anxious.
"Are you rewriting the history books here? You were the one who forced Akane to take it out, and you were the one who insisted on finding out what Xiaoming was wearing!"
"Just get it. Everyone was here and saw what happened. You dare to lie to my face? Aren't you afraid of getting your tongue rotten?"
Everyone was arguing. Zhao Anqi covered her ears with her hands and screamed in a piercing voice:
