Maybe it’s because he received Zhang Jingdong’s forgiveness, or maybe it’s because there wasn’t a trace of anger on his face, that He Jieyu immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
"Don’t worry, I’ll definitely pay you back for the car repairs this time!"
Zhang Jingdong shook his head with a smile: "Even though we’re business partners, we’re at least friends. You should know how I treat my friends. This bit of money can just be a treat for coffee!"
If He Jieyu was here alone, he definitely wouldn’t have said that, but since there was a beauty named Lin Qingci next to her, with a composite score over 90, he naturally had to act more generous.
Upon hearing this, Lin Qingci’s eyes indeed lit up.
She had heard He Jieyu talk about this young guy who bought his own Bugatti Veyron at a young age.
But what she didn’t expect was that Zhang Jingdong didn’t just look young, he was also very handsome, and he was magnanimous and free-spirited in his actions. She found herself growing more curious about him.
"Host successfully triggered the target’s curiosity, reward: 50,000 yuan!"
Seeing Lin Qingci’s different look at him, Zhang Jingdong deliberately didn’t look at her and instead went directly to the traffic police officers.
"Gentlemen, have you figured out the responsibility for the accident?"
One of the traffic cops replied: "According to the accounts from both drivers, both are responsible, but since there are no cameras at this intersection, it’s hard to delineate specific responsibilities."
"So it’s best for you to discuss the matter with the other party directly."
Zhang Jingdong immediately understood, realizing this was like the scenarios in Hong Kong movies: If the problem can’t be solved, then fight it out yourselves, and we’ll handle the aftermath.
Zhang Jingdong nodded, then turned and walked up to the man and woman nearby.
He noticed the license plate on the other car and planned to negotiate with the other party, considering calling Xu Zhong if necessary.
He wasn’t afraid of owing Xu Zhong a favor because he could repay it, and he knew that favors which could be repaid should be utilized more to build a closer relationship.
Unexpectedly, the man suddenly said, "You’re... Zhang Jingdong?"
Hearing the tone of surprise and friendliness, Zhang Jingdong nodded: "That’s right, I am. And you are?"
The man’s stern expression changed to humility and respect: "I’m Chen Liang, from the Wilderness Survival Club. I saw you during the training last time."
Zhang Jingdong suddenly realized: "Oh... so that’s how it is, what a coincidence!"
"This is a case of dragons flooding the temple! How about this: I’ll fix my car, and you fix yours. Is that alright?"
Just as the man was about to nod in agreement, his girlfriend suddenly said, "What are you saying? Why should it be? Our car is brand new..."
Zhang Jingdong’s gaze instantly sharpened.
Before arriving, he heard a female voice scolding He Jieyu over the phone. He had intended to let it slide for Chen Liang’s sake, but seeing her arrogance, he instantly abandoned that thought.
Chen Liang, noticing Zhang Jingdong’s displeasure, quickly yelled at his girlfriend, "Wang Yue, shut up and get back in the car!"
Wang Yue was clearly shocked that Chen Liang would yell at her because of Zhang Jingdong, leaving her momentarily stunned.
However, she had insulted He Jieyu, claiming she was kept by someone, while she herself was Chen Liang’s mistress since Chen Liang had a fiancée.
Chen Liang had arranged a job for her and given her 20,000 yuan each month, so she dared not offend him.
She hesitated, then, both ashamed and humiliated, turned to get back in the car.
Right then, Zhang Jingdong suddenly said, "Wait a minute!"
"Mr. Chen, I have to ask, before I arrived, did she insult my friend?"
Feeling Zhang Jingdong’s anger and not daring to offend him, Chen Liang considered his response. Tʜe sourcᴇ of thɪs content ɪs novel·fiɾe·net
On one hand, he knew of Zhang Jingdong’s close connections with Liang Feng and Shu Ran.
On the other hand, during the training, Zhang Jingdong had even fought Liu Yi and came out unscathed.
And compared to Liu Yi, he felt insignificant.
Most importantly, he knew Zhang Jingdong was currently someone Xu Zhong valued highly.
Should Zhang Jingdong call Xu Zhong, Xu would likely be willing to cause trouble for him in exchange for a favor owed.
After a quick thought, he said, "Yes... I’m sorry, Mr. Zhang, I..."
Zhang Jingdong replied coldly, "No need to apologize to me; you should apologize to my friend!"
Chen Liang immediately understood Zhang Jingdong’s intent.
Though knowing it would damage his pride, he realized he had no other options.
He pulled Wang Yue over and approached He Jieyu and others.
"Ladies, we’re sorry for our earlier rude words, and we wholeheartedly apologize to you both!"
He nudged Wang Yue after speaking.
Reluctantly, but understanding Zhang Jingdong’s importance to Chen Liang, she followed: "I’m... I’m sorry, I... I was wrong, I shouldn’t have spoken to you that way, sorry!"
This incident astounded everyone present, and all eyes turned to Zhang Jingdong.
They understood that Zhang Jingdong’s impressive background had subdued the previously arrogant couple!
Lin Qingci, already curious about Zhang Jingdong, found herself utterly intrigued by how he handled the situation in under two minutes!
He Jieyu, once more, was amazed by Zhang Jingdong’s capabilities!
She’d thought he was simply wealthy, but now realized he had connections as well.
Not one to hold grudges, especially since she now benefited from Zhang Jingdong’s support, she calmly said, "It’s alright, I was wrong too today."
Zhang Jingdong observed and replied, "Mr. Chen, let’s settle this matter now."
He walked over to the two traffic cops, and Chen Liang quickly joined him.
Having reached an agreement, the cops expedited the matter, resolving it right there.
After speaking briefly with Chen Liang, Zhang Jingdong approached He Jieyu.
"For now, you can drive the Ferrari."
About to refuse, He Jieyu was interrupted by Lin Qingci: "Boss Zhang, after tonight’s incident, Jieyu probably shouldn’t drive."
"It’s my birthday today, and we’re about to cut the cake. Since you’re already out, why not join us for a bit? We can properly thank you."
Seeing Lin Qingci as a witty individual and considering it was her birthday, and since she extended the invitation so openly, Zhang Jingdong stopped consulting He Jieyu and simply nodded: "Being your birthday, alright, I’ll join you to spread some joy."
