“How about I go for a night run with you tomorrow?” I tried to suggest, trying to appease her sudden mood.
Lin Xiaoyu seemed not to have heard, and continued her complaint: "I haven't exercised all day today! I haven't burned off any calories. I will definitely gain weight if I continue like this. Once I get fat, I won't be able to wear all the beautiful clothes in my closet, and I bought them all for nothing!"
< br/> I was a little confused by this series of complaints, and I really couldn't figure out what she wanted, so I had no choice but to ask: "Then what do you think we should do now?"
Lin Xiaoyu stood at the door, silent for a moment, and finally sighed with a sense of hatred that iron is not made of steel.
Then, she reached out, grabbed the doorknob, and closed the door from the inside.
It was only then that I realized belatedly that she had gone around in such a big circle and lost her temper for no reason, and it turned out that she was waiting for me here.
Lin Xiaoyu's unusual initiative this night finally made me react slowly.
These days are her special days every month, which is her ovulation period.
Before we broke up, at this stage, she was always very clingy and needed my company all the time.
In total, it has been more than two months since we broke up.
I thought that after last night, Lin Xiaoyu's attitude had softened, and maybe he was willing to reconsider our relationship.
But the next morning, when she left my room, her face returned to that cold look.
As if nothing happened last night, I looked at her straight back, and in the end I just silently withdrew my gaze, being very sensible and not mentioning another word.
In the next few days, several new faces arrived on the site, all of them college students who could not find suitable jobs.
The team of riders suddenly expanded to fifteen people, and the originally deserted site suddenly became a lot more lively.
What I didn’t expect was that He Shiyu, who had only been in the industry for a few months, had become the backbone.
She is familiar with routes, knows the access control and shortcuts of each community, and has her own way of handling timeouts and customer complaints.
When those young college riders encounter trouble, they always subconsciously call Sister He first.
He Shiyu is also straightforward and unambiguous in sharing her experience, and she naturally exudes a convincing aura.
Watching her explain the precautions to the newcomers neatly, she really looked like a big sister.
That day, Lawyer Ding called: "Mr. Chen, the Northwest Wind Restaurant has relented and expressed its willingness to reconcile. What is your opinion?"
I sneered in my heart, and naturally I knew why Manager Jia suddenly gave in.
This is not a conscience discovery, but their restaurant is about to be unable to survive and is not far from closure.
I am not idle these days. Whenever I have free time, I take turns calling the fire protection, health, market supervision and even taxation departments, and "enthusiastic citizens" report real-name problems at the Northwest Wind Restaurant.
One set of punches is enough for them to drink a pot.
I responded to the phone: "Tell them that you can talk if you want, and be sincere. They made things difficult for us in the first place, and now they have to pay it back twice as hard."
Want to get through easily? Not that easy. Play with me and see who kills him first.
Lawyer Ding was very efficient. He contacted the other party shortly after hanging up the phone and got a reply soon.
The two parties made an appointment to meet in a quiet coffee shop to discuss in detail.
On the day of the appointment, I specially asked Zhang Wei to come with me.
She was a witness to the whole thing from beginning to end, and was also a direct victim. She should be present both emotionally and rationally.
When we arrived, Lawyer Ding was already there, and the other party was still Manager Jia.
It's just that at this moment, his face has long lost the original arrogance, and his whole person looks a little depressed.
There is also a man wearing a suit who looks like a legal consultant sitting next to him.
When he saw us coming in, especially when he saw Zhang Wei next to me, Manager Jia’s face became obviously ugly, and he subconsciously avoided his eyes.
The terms of reconciliation were negotiated quite smoothly. Naturally, they must pay full compensation for the cost of repairing the car.
As for my new car that became an accident car, I asked for an extra 20,000 yuan for the depreciation loss, lost wages, etc.
Manager Jia obviously consulted the legal consultant next to me before coming here. After hearing my request, although his face was livid, he did not get too entangled.
Just gritted his molar teeth and nodded: "Okay, we accept the money. However, you must completely delete those previous videos, and promise not to publish any content that damages the reputation of our restaurant."
I raised my hand to interrupt him: "It's my business, that's it. But "My colleague,"
"I was surrounded and threatened by the people you called for no reason that day, and I was quite frightened. Fifty thousand in mental damages is not excessive, right?"
Manager Jia immediately screamed: "Her? Isn't she sitting here properly? What kind of mental damages do you want! You are blackmailing!"
My eyes turned cold: "Manager Jia, do you really need me to repeat what happened that day in front of the lawyer and this legal gentleman in detail?"
The first time I called someone, it was to smash the car. The second time I called someone, I wanted to hit them, but I didn't succeed. Instead, I took care of them.
This second time, there was a tacit understanding and no one mentioned it again, but I didn’t plan to let it go.
Lawyer Ding gave me a questioning look because I did not mention the second undisclosed conflict to her.
At least Zhang Wei listens to me now, but when she heard me ask for 50,000 yuan for mental damages, she nervously held on to my arm.
Manager Jia’s face looked very ugly.
I know very well that since the scandal about prepared dishes came out, the reputation of their entire brand has plummeted.
It is reported every day in the news that all their chain stores are experiencing staggering daily losses.
He can't afford it, and the restaurant can't afford it either. Every extra day you delay is throwing money into a bottomless pit.
Manager Jia squeezed out three words through his teeth: "...I agree."
Then, Lawyer Ding and the other party's legal staff began to draft a settlement agreement item by item.
· Clearly write down the compensation amount, payment method, deletion of the video, and no further publication of content that damages reputation in the document.
When it came time to discuss how to pay the compensation, I said directly: "Cash. I want cash."
Manager Jia seemed to want to refute, but after meeting my gaze, he swallowed his words.
The legal advisor next to him was not surprised at all. He just nodded and said that he could arrange it.
I want cash but I am also afraid that this person named Jia will turn over old accounts in the future.
Soon, the other party sent someone to fetch a black plastic bag. Only then did I sign the settlement agreement.
Manager Jia almost grabbed the copy of the agreement that belonged to them, and hurriedly left without wanting to stay for a moment longer.
