Chapter 114 The Ordeal of the Cyber Doctor
"Senior, I really didn't break it, why do you need to pay for it?" Chen Sui whispered to Wang Zhi.
"I know, I believe you," Wang Zhi said softly, trying to comfort him. "But the issue now isn't whether you broke it or not, but how to clean this up."
Fortunately, the school's science and technology association already had a reserve fund for purchasing equipment, materials, and consumables.
There have been cases in the past where students accidentally broke things, but in order to encourage everyone and not be afraid of breaking things, this money can cover any damage as long as it is not intentional.
"I can compensate you. How much do you want?" Wang Zhi didn't mince words and asked directly.
Upon hearing Wang Zhi's straightforward offer, the bespectacled man was first taken aback, then suppressed the smug expression on his face and directly demanded an exorbitant amount: "One thousand yuan."
"Robbery?" Wang Zhi laughed in anger upon hearing this: "A thousand yuan? Why don't you just rob a bank? It's just a broken corner clip, everything else is fine, and you have the nerve to ask us for a thousand yuan in compensation?"
"Would it be worth a thousand yuan if I sold it directly as a secondhand item?"
Although there is money to cover the losses, it doesn't mean that any amount of money can cover them. You still need to write materials explaining the reasons and circumstances, and then apply for a report.
The bespectacled man sneered, "So what? This computer has watched me grow up. I have a deep bond with this old buddy. Things have a price, but friendship is priceless. Is a thousand dollars a lot?"
"A thousand yuan isn't much? Are you trying to rip us off?" Wang Zhi retorted directly, not one to tolerate such behavior.
"Oh, you think you're right for breaking someone else's things? If you're too scared to admit it and don't want to pay, just say so." The bespectacled man retorted sharply.
If she really broke it herself, Chen Sui wouldn't shirk responsibility, but she knew very well that it had nothing to do with her.
She already felt aggrieved that Wang Zhi told her not to take it to heart, so of course she was unhappy that he was trying to pin the blame on her.
The saying goes, "Jade can be broken but its whiteness cannot be changed; bamboo can be burned but its integrity cannot be destroyed." Chen Sui couldn't take it anymore and retorted loudly, "I said I didn't break it! Can you provide evidence to prove that it was fine before you brought it here? At worst, we'll call the police and let Uncle Hat handle it."
Generally, when Uncle Hat handles these kinds of muddled disputes, if there is no solid evidence to prove that one party is at fault, they will basically both be equally blamed.
Seeing Chen Sui's resolute attitude and intense emotions, and with many of the surrounding classmates casting questioning glances, the bespectacled boy didn't dare to speak too harshly, since Chen Sui had helped them a lot.
If things really escalated to the point of calling the police, it would have a terrible impact on the school. So he finally relented and started bargaining with Wang Zhi.
After some back and forth, the bespectacled man lowered his price to 500, but Wang Zhi still felt that the number was too high and refused to agree.
The bespectacled man got anxious and pointed at the two of them, shouting threats, "If you're so insincere, what's the point of paying compensation? Forget about paying, what are your names? I'm going to report you to the Youth League Committee and the school's Science and Technology Association."
Now it was Wang Zhi's turn to be annoyed. Although the Youth League Committee and the Science and Technology Association would not punish them based on their one-sided statements, the dispute would still have a negative impact on both of them and the Science and Technology Association.
Wang Zhi turned his head again and saw that Chen Sui hadn't said anything, but her eyes were already red and she had started sniffling.
Chen Sui didn't know how to handle the current situation. What should she do?
But whenever she encounters a problem, she subconsciously wants to call Chen Che, as if there is no problem in the world that he cannot solve.
…………
Right now, Chen Che is visiting a channel distributor with Xu Zhen. This is someone Xu Zhen had a hard time getting an appointment with. It is said that the distributor is difficult to talk to, and Xu Zhen was afraid that she could not handle it by herself, so she asked Chen Che to come along so that they could meet and get to know each other first.
Chen Che glanced at the incoming call; it was from Chen Sui, so he answered it immediately.
"Hey, what's up, class monitor?" Chen Che asked.
"Hmm... what are you doing?" Chen Sui asked softly, trying her best to cover up her slight sob, but Chen Che still caught it keenly.
"I'm visiting clients with my senior and the class monitor. Next time, tell me what you need me for so I know if I'm free," Chen Che said in a half-serious, half-joking tone.
"Oh, it's nothing, you're busy. Um... I just wanted to ask if the incubator needs to be locked." Chen Sui sniffed a few times, trying to make her tone sound relaxed.
Chen Che naturally understood what was going on, and just as he was about to ask what was happening, Chen Sui hung up the phone without saying a word, which made things even stranger.
"Hey, junior, why is Chen Sui checking up on you? You'd better watch out, dealing with a woman with such a strong desire to control can be a real hassle, you'll suffer a lot~" Xu Zhen was right next to Chen Che, and he happened to overhear Chen Sui's phone call.
Chen Che glanced at him: "What, senior, have you been in this kind of relationship before? You seem quite experienced?"
"No, you can figure it out just by thinking about it," Xu Zhen shrugged, looking completely matter-of-fact, as if she had already seen through all women.
Chen Che smiled, then couldn't help asking again, "Senior, have you ever had a girlfriend?"
"What? What do you mean by suddenly launching a personal attack?" Xu Zhen glared at him.
"Sigh, I'm not going up," Chen Che said to Xu Zhen with a sigh, ignoring the previous conversation. "I'm going back to school first. You can continue chatting with them."
Xu Zhen was taken aback: "What do you mean, junior? We're almost at their office door and we're going back like this? We finally managed to get a time with them."
As Chen Che turned and walked towards the bread cart, he explained, "I know her personality better than anyone. She always tries to solve problems herself first and won't bother others unless absolutely necessary."
"I knew something was wrong from her tone just now; it sounded like she was crying. I'd like to see who can make her cry now."
Xu Zhen originally wanted to try to persuade him again, but starting a business is difficult these days. He finally managed to make an appointment with someone, only to have them stand him up. He had only asked Chen Che to come along because he was worried that he wouldn't be able to negotiate well, but now he had to do it all by himself.
"It's okay, senior. Even if the deal falls through, it's alright. Our project has progressed this far; it won't fall apart just because he's gone."
"On the contrary, you'd better be more confident; we're the ones giving him this opportunity to cooperate."
Chen Che gave a brief and concise analysis of the angle of this meeting, which opened up new ideas for Xu Zhen.
Xu Zhen replied "Okay," and then saw Chen Che sitting in the driver's seat, starting the car and speeding away.
"Damn, driving that fast in the city, are those 12 points enough to get you deducted?"
