Under pressure from his wife, Lao Ding finally didn't dare to drink too much. After all, he had just promised his wife today, and breaking the appointment in the evening would only make himself uncomfortable.
Lao Du, Lao Ding and Xiao Li were drinking and chatting, while Du Chen was reading his book on the side. He was lazy again and didn't go to the cram school today, but he went there just to make up the numbers. The cram school had nothing to do with him at all.
…
The next morning, Liu Ermao's wife went to the police station again.
"Director Ding, I'm coming!"
Old Ding frowned as he looked at Liu Ermao's wife.
"Have you figured out how to solve it?"
Old Ding asked impatiently.
"I've made up my mind, Director Ding."
"Okay, I'll call the other party!"
"Wait, Director Ding..."
Liu Ermao's wife quickly stopped Lao Ding from making a phone call.
"What's wrong again! What do you want to do?!"
"Director Ding, I'm sorry to bother you with Liu Ermao's matter! These are to thank you..."
Seeing that there was no one in Lao Ding's office, Liu Ermao's wife quickly put an envelope on Lao Ding's desk.
Old Ding sneered in his heart when he saw the behavior of Liu Ermao's wife. He had guessed that the other party would do this.
"Don't try to play tricks on me, just tell me what you want to do!"
Old Ding's face darkened, his eyes gloomy as he looked at the other person. He didn't believe the other person would give him money out of kindness. Instead, he was worried that the other person was setting a trap for him, waiting for him to fall into it.
"Director Ding, you see, they're asking for too much! I'd rather give it to you than to them. They're bullying me!"
Liu Ermao's wife said indignantly.
"Oh, then tell me how much you can give to the other party, and I'll see if I can persuade him!"
Old Ding suddenly thought of what Du Chen said to him after dinner last night. He didn't expect that Du Chen actually guessed what Liu Ermao and the others wanted to do.
"Well, how about ten thousand yuan?"
Liu Ermao's wife glanced at Lao Ding and asked cautiously.
"Impossible! They want 20,000, and you just cut it down to 10,000! Who would be happy with that? Just take the money! I can't help you with that!"
When Lao Ding heard the price, he rejected the other party without thinking. After all, he knew Comrade Lao Du's bottom line.
"Director Ding, don't worry, I'll give you some more, please help me!"
Liu Ermao's wife said quickly.
"Impossible, that's impossible! I can't even negotiate your price. It's too low!"
Old Ding shook his head repeatedly. He wanted to see what price the other party would quote in the end.
"Director Ding, how much do you think is appropriate?"
Liu Ermao's wife asked Lao Ding directly.
"At least sixteen or seventeen thousand!"
Lao Ding pretended to think about it, then named a price.
When Liu Ermao's wife heard the price, her face turned a little dark. Sixteen or seventeen thousand, plus the two thousand yuan in the envelope just now, it wasn't much cheaper.
"Director Ding, could you please contact him and see if he can lower the price a little bit?"
When you are under someone's roof, you have to bow your head. Liu Ermao's wife asked Lao Ding again cautiously.
"Okay, okay, let me ask for you! Although I have a good relationship with Lao Du, I can't guarantee it!"
I have to say that Lao Ding's acting is pretty good. Lao Ding also said frankly that he has a good relationship with Comrade Lao Du, because anyone who is willing to find out about this matter can find out.
Moreover, his wife and Lao Du's wife also set up a cram school together, which could not be hidden from anyone with ulterior motives.
"Hey, is Lao Du here?"
Lao Ding first called the repair shop, and Comrade Lao Du was still there.
"Hey, Lao Du, I have something to tell you. Liu Ermao's wife is here! Their family really can't afford that much money right now. Can you offer less?"
"What's going on? Didn't I tell you the bottom price yesterday?"
Comrade Lao Du is a little confused.
"What? Just 20,000? Any lower, no deal? If that doesn't work, then we can go through the government?"
Comrade Lao Du understood what Lao Ding meant as soon as he heard his irrelevant talk.
"Old Du, listen to me, this is too much trouble for you to go through the official business. Not only is it a waste of time and experience, but you're not sure how much money you'll get in the end, right?"
"Listen to me, everyone just make concessions and get this resolved quickly!"
Comrade Lao Du held back his laughter as he listened to Lao Ding performing a one-man show.
"Oh, oh, I get it!"
"Okay, I'll tell her. The minimum is fifteen thousand, right? Okay, I'll tell her!"
"Then I'll talk to her first. If there's no problem, I'll call you. Can you come over later?"
"Hey, hey. Okay, no trouble, that's my job! Okay, let's get in touch later!"
Comrade Lao Du tried to hold back his laughter the whole time until Lao Ding hung up the phone.
…
"Director Ding, how is it?"
Liu Ermao's wife asked cautiously.
"They said the lowest price is 15,000. If that doesn't work, we'll go through a government agency! I have no other choice but to negotiate this low for you!"
Old Ding said to Liu Ermao's wife with an expression that said I have tried my best.
"Also, make a decision quickly. How many days has Liu Ermao been detained here? If you agree to settle privately, I'll contact them. If not, take the money back and I'll contact the detention center to go through the formalities!"
Seeing that Liu Ermao's wife was still hesitant, Lao Ding directly gave her an ultimatum. This was the only time, and Lao Ding didn't want to argue with her anymore.
"Director Ding, can you..."
As soon as Liu Ermao's wife opened her mouth, Lao Ding heard what she wanted to say and threw the envelope back to her without hesitation.
