The reason I’m asking He Jinxuan how to handle this is to see his attitude.
But I’m quite satisfied with his way of handling it.
I haven’t even met her, yet she dares to make up stories about me. I don’t intend to take this lying down, so since Geng Lihua loves to stir things up, let’s fulfill her wish.
He Jinxuan walked a little further and then stopped: "Yanyan, wait for me here for a bit, I’ll go inside to file a report."
Xinyan got out of the car: "Go ahead."
He Jinxuan came out shortly, accompanied by two police officers from the station, but they went ahead toward the transport company’s residential area.
He Jinxuan, on the other hand, took Xinyan and turned into another alley, stopping in front of a family’s gate: "We’re here, it’s not far from the residential area, they’ll deliver it to the house when it’s ready."
He Jinxuan locked the car and gently knocked on the door: "Uncle Zhong, are you home?"
A strong voice came from the yard: "Yes, I’m here, come in."
They entered the yard and saw someone coming over from the back. As soon as that person saw He Jinxuan, he knew they were there to check on the furniture’s progress: "You’re here?"
He Jinxuan nodded at the person: "Yes, my partner happened to come today, I brought her in to check on the custom-made furniture."
The person smiled and said: "Come with me, then. They’re almost done, some are being varnished, and at most they’ll all be finished in five or six days."
Master Zhong, seeing it was He Jinxuan, said with a smile: "Mr. He, the finished cabinets are inside, you can go and see if you’re satisfied."
He Jinxuan looked at Xinyan: "Let’s go in and have a look."
After they went inside, they saw someone varnishing. Xinyan looked around. Her drawings weren’t very standard, but Master Zhong’s craftsmanship was indeed impressive.
Seeing their expressions, Master Zhong knew that the customers were satisfied.
Rubbing his hands, he hesitated a bit: "Mr. He, I want to discuss something with you."
He Jinxuan asked in confusion: "Master Zhong, go ahead."
After seeing the furniture and noticing Master Zhong’s expression, Xinyan instantly understood his idea.
A bit embarrassed, Master Zhong said: "Mr. He, you’ve seen the furniture, the designs are really novel, not only beautiful but also practical. I was thinking, if you could sell me these blueprints, I’ll make your furniture for free and give you an extra three hundred yuan in cash, what do you think?"
As soon as he said this, He Jinxuan looked at Xinyan.
Xinyan didn’t expect such a good deal, but Master Zhong was indeed clever. There were exactly five blueprints, so besides getting a set of furniture, each blueprint also brought sixty yuan.
Xinyan wasn’t pretentious either, since they offered, why not take the money? Even if you refuse, they could still imitate them, so she didn’t speak up, just gave He Jinxuan a gentle nod.
Seeing her agree, He Jinxuan smiled at Master Zhong: "Since it caught Master Zhong’s eye, let’s go with what you said."
Master Zhong’s face lit up with a smile upon hearing they agreed. These five designs were praised by everyone who saw them, and several people already wanted to place orders in just these few days, but he was a principled man and didn’t want to leave any problems for the future.
Getting three hundred yuan plus this set of furniture was not a loss for him at all.
Master Zhong was quite formal, went inside to draft an agreement, called two men from neighboring families as witnesses, and both parties signed it, paying immediately.
They agreed to deliver the furniture to the residential area in six days.
