Halfway through the journey, Wu An was half asleep when he heard his cell phone ringing repeatedly. He was so sleepy that he didn't even want to open his eyes, but he was so angry that he wanted to curse.
I opened my eyes to see who was calling but hadn't answered, and then I reached into my pocket.
It's his cell phone.
He cursed inwardly who had disturbed his peaceful sleep, but when he took out his phone, he saw that it was Yu Kailang calling.
Connected.
"Where is Ah An?"
"On the bus, heading back from the county to the town."
"Oh, is that so? I have something to tell you."
"you say."
"Um... um... I need to apologize to you first."
"Uh... don't apologize yet, tell me what's going on." Wu An's heart skipped a beat. He really didn't want to hear this. Yu Kailang's hesitant words were definitely not good news.
On the other end of the phone, Yu Kailang gritted his teeth and stamped his foot, saying, "It's like this, I called the Chen family today, and they said they have no money for compensation..."
“I was the one who advised you to accept the settlement, and now it’s turned out like this. I feel really bad about it.”
"I will also try to find a way to get them to pay the compensation as soon as possible."
"If all else fails, you can file a lawsuit."
Wu An was in a bind. After Yu Kailang finished explaining the situation, he kept apologizing. It was clear that he felt quite guilty, but guilt can't put food on the table.
He thought for a moment and said, "Brother Yu, I understand."
"If the Chen family is being inhuman, then you don't need to apologize."
"I'll figure out a way to solve this."
Yu Kailang continued to apologize, and Wu An had no choice but to verbally agree to let Yu Kailang treat him to a meal. Yu Kailang readily agreed, and only then did he stop apologizing repeatedly.
Ah Qing had been listening intently. After Wu An hung up the phone, he laughed and said, "Officer Yu is quite honest; he apologized at least a dozen times."
Compared to Yu Kailang, the Chen family is truly shameless.
Putting aside his scheming against Chen Long, did he only ask the Chen family for a little over 40,000 yuan in compensation?
Not at all!
If we include compensation for emotional distress, and ask the Chen family to pay a six-figure sum, Wu An would feel at ease.
Seeing that Wu An remained silent, A Qing's expression turned fierce. She said, "Brother, why don't we borrow a few men from Boss Gao and give Chen a good beating?"
"Give them a little hint and the Chen family will definitely hand over the money obediently."
Wu An's eyes flashed.
He had just learned of the change and his mind was a bit blank. He couldn't think of any good solutions yet, but he had to rule out Aqing's method first.
Ah Qing continued, "Brother, this feels so good!"
"Just listen to me."
"Let me tell you, Boss Gao's men are all professionals, I've met them..."
Upon hearing this, Wu An's expression turned serious: "Aqing, there's a red line you absolutely must never cross when you're with me!"
Do you understand?
Aqing was taken aback. He knew what the red thread Wu An was talking about was, and he had told him about it more than once. Seeing Wu An's expression, he quickly nodded and said, "I understand."
"I will absolutely not touch it."
Wu An's expression relaxed slightly, and he said, "There's no need to trouble Brother Qiang. There's a very simple and easy solution to this."
"I can use someone else to do the dirty work and have Boss Tan go to the Chen family to ask for money."
"They are the most professional."
"Moreover, even if something goes wrong, it will be Lao Tan who will handle it. It won't involve us, let alone implicate our friends."
"It's all about getting the money. Lao Tan and I will split the profits according to the agreed-upon ratio."
"But this is a last resort, and should only be used as a last resort."
It's not that I'm worried about the money.
He kept his distance from Lao Tan.
Not to mention the potential for trouble in the future if there are any financial dealings involved.
Aqing suddenly realized.
It turns out that the reason my brother didn't speak was because he already had a plan in mind. Since there's a worst-case scenario, there must also be a better one and a better one. He wouldn't come up with any bad ideas that would only cause trouble.
Wu An didn't have any good or bad strategies, but one thing was certain: he would definitely receive the compensation money from the Chen family.
Not paying?
Then I'll make you not only lose money, but also lose face.
They lost even more, and the losses were even more devastating!
Wu An was so angry that he lost his sleepiness.
Arrived at the market.
Thanks to Gao Qiangqi's connections, there are parking spaces available in the market, and market managers help keep an eye on things, so generally no one dares to steal the car.
After greeting the market administrator, Wu Angang got on his bike and was about to leave when his phone rang. He took it out and saw that it was President Qin calling. After answering, President Qin said that he had accidentally discovered something and that someone was plotting against him.
Wu An narrowed his eyes: "President Qin, is it true? Who wants to scheme against me?"
President Qin kept everyone in suspense: "This is not something that can be discussed over the phone. How about we meet and talk about it?"
Wu An thought for a moment and asked, "Is that so? Are you at a restaurant tonight?"
President Qin replied, "Yes."
"Mr. Qin, it's like this, I'm a little busy right now. I'm having a big dinner with my family tonight to celebrate buying a fishing boat, so I'll book a table. We'll talk about it later."
President Qin agreed with a smile.
Ah Qing scratched his head, unable to understand Wu An's move. Since President Qin said it couldn't be explained over the phone, why not just go and meet him in person?
The prices at Qin Zong Restaurant are quite high; it can cost a lot of money.
Is it really necessary to go out for a meal?
He couldn't keep things to himself, so he asked directly, "Brother, why don't we just celebrate at home? Why go to President Qin's restaurant? I think the food there is just so-so, and the dishes are ridiculously expensive."
Wu An smiled and said, "Why do you think Mr. Qin is being so mysterious?"
Didn't he say it wasn't convenient to talk about it on the phone?
"Nonsense, we're not special personnel, why would we have any confidential information that's inconvenient to say over the phone?"
"So he... oh, I see, he wants benefits, that's why you arranged the banquet so that President Qin could make money, which is equivalent to giving him benefits."
"Not necessarily... President Qin's vision shouldn't be that narrow. He might want me to owe him a favor, but I don't want to owe him one."
"But what if the information President Qin provides is useless?"
"Well, at least I treated my family to a good meal."
Ah Qing's scalp was a little itchy, and she felt like her brain was growing. After a while, she asked again, "Brother, could it be that you're overthinking it?"
"What good are your favors?"
"..."
Wu An didn't really want to talk to him. He filled up his motorcycle at the gas station and headed straight home. He dropped A Qing off first. Li Juan saw that A Qing had bought a lot of bags and said with a smile that she was wasting money.
Wu An greeted her and said he would go to a restaurant in town for dinner that night. He didn't let A Qing tell her; he would only formally invite her if he came himself. When Li Juan learned that he had bought a fishing boat to celebrate, she naturally agreed immediately.
This definitely deserves a good celebration.
Buying a fishing boat is a big deal for them, almost like buying a house. Wu An felt that since it was a second-hand fishing boat, there was no need to make a big fuss; a meal with his family would suffice.
Back home, he took down the clothes and shoes he had bought. Mei Yueqin said the same thing as Li Juan: her sister-in-law had such a strong "motherly" feel to her, which made Wu An very happy.
Mei Yueqin didn't know what he was laughing at. Seeing several outfits and skirts, she was also happy. She said that he was wasting money and that she had too many clothes at home to wear, so there was no need to buy new ones. But in fact, she went back to her room to change into a new outfit a little while later. And to her surprise, it fit her quite well.
Wu An didn't bother to choose; he bought only one-size-fits-all clothes.
Actually, my sister-in-law is quite thin, so she won't have the embarrassing situation of buying clothes that she can't wear.
Wu An didn't stay at home. He moved the water pump to the car, prepared all the equipment, and immediately went out to pick up A Qing. The two of them headed straight to town.
Putting everything else aside, I at least have to earn enough money for dinner tonight.
It's not good to invite someone to dinner but then not pay for it.
