Chapter 23: No Choice

Yu Ran came back after the phone call and saw Shi Jia sitting in a chair in a daze, walked over and told Shi Jia's lawyer that he suggested that he negotiate privately with the client.

Shi Jia raised his tired eyes and looked at Yu Ran, "We have no choice. ”

"Why ......"

"Qin Rourou's lawyer just found me and informed me that they would go directly to the legal process and increase the compensation to 1.6 million."

"One...... 1,600,000 ...... That's too much, right? Even if it's a lost time pay, it's not so high, it's clearly taking advantage of the fire! Yu Ran was so angry.

"It's not Qin Rourou who wants it, it's Xu Zhiheng." Shi Jia retracted his gaze and said weakly: "Just now, the lawyer asked for 1.6 million, but before I left the ward, Qin Rourou still insisted on 800,000, indicating that Qin Rourou had not met with the lawyer before this, and she didn't know that there would be a lawyer to stand up for herself." So the person who really wants us to come up with this money is not Qin Rourou, but the person behind the lawyer - Xu Zhiheng. ”

"Xu Zhiheng is a big boss, why do you want to do this? Is Qin Rourou really so important to him? Does he have a girlfriend and still outside? ”

Shi Jia smiled bitterly, she couldn't answer any of Yu Ran's questions.

Shi Jia and Yu Ran returned to the company and consulted Lawyer Tang again, and when Lawyer Tang heard that Qin Rourou's lawyer was Yanwu's lawyer team, he refused politely without hesitation.

"One million yuan, plus a series of expenses such as scar cosmetology, is at least close to two million, and even if we sell a car and a house, we may not be able to make up so much money so quickly! And I have to pay rent and pay wages soon! Yu Ran was about to cry as she spoke.

Shi Jia covered his face with his hands, "The salary can't be delayed, if it really doesn't work, go to the bank for a loan." ”

The market value of her house is not high, Yu Ran's house is still paying off the monthly payment, and if she sells the car of the two, she can only make up more than one million in a short time.

Instead of being so troublesome, it is better to take a direct loan, which is the fastest method at present.

Shi Jia's mobile phone suddenly rang at this time, it was Gu Qingshan calling.

"I've heard about your company." Gu Qingshan comforted softly on the phone, "Don't worry too much, I can help you get through this difficulty." ”

Shi Jia's sad face finally showed a hint of a smile.

"I'll be waiting for you at the Cantonese restaurant on the left corner of the gate of your community, and you can come with Yu Ran." Gu Qingshan said.

Ending the call, Shi Jia hurriedly told Yu Ran, "Teacher Gu said that he has a way. ”

Yu Ran let out a long sigh, "Then what are you waiting for, let's go see Teacher Gu right away." ”

"Okay."

Thinking of Qin Dongmin's reminder before leaving, Shi Jia went to the bathroom first with his bag.

Locking the toilet door, she took out her room card from her bag in a quiet and enclosed space.

The room card of the presidential suite of the five-star hotel is very exquisitely made, the front and back are embossed technology, and the logo is also inlaid with a fine crystal stone.

It is also a door card, which is used to open the door.

But this card is different from ordinary door cards, it opens a door to a world of luxury and beauty.

The past is telling her that away from that world and away from Xu Zhiheng, she can forget the past, live in the present, and move towards a bright future.

As for the future, it was never out of her control, she just stubbornly insisted on a selfish idea - not to get close to people and things related to the past.

Wrapping the room card in a tissue and throwing it into the trash, Shi Jia went to the washing station to tidy up his clothes, and drove Yu Ran to see Gu Qingshan.

Gu Qingshan's so-called help has only one way, to lend money to Shi Jia to pay compensation.

In this way, they can settle the accident as soon as possible, they don't have to sell their cars and houses, let alone borrow money from the bank to pay the high interest, and the company can still operate normally.

This is undoubtedly the most worry-free way to deal with it at present.

However, Shi Jia and Yu Ran did not immediately finalize Gu Qingshan's proposal.

"You go back and think about it, if you need this money, you can tell me at any time, and I will call you as soon as possible." Gu Qingshan was very plain when he said these words, as if one or two million were sand in his eyes.

Shi Jia was very grateful to Gu Qingshan for being willing to help, but some people were not in a last resort, and neither she nor Yu Ran wanted to owe it.

When they were separated, Shi Jia specially asked Gu Qingshan, "Are your injuries better?" ”

"It's okay already, don't worry." Gu Qingshan seemed to be a little anxious, "I still have something to do, so I won't send it to you." ”

"Be careful when driving on the road." Shi Jia advised.

Gu Qingshan answered, drove away on the road, and Shi Jia sent Yu Ran back again, and finally returned to his home.

Walking downstairs in the community, Shi Jia felt upset and didn't want to bring negative emotions home, so he simply walked in the community to relieve the pressure in his heart.

Walking aimlessly on the side of the road, she was still thinking about whether to borrow money from Gu Qingshan.

"Miss Shi." Someone behind her was calling her.

She turned around and saw Qin Dongmin again, "Is there something wrong with Assistant Qin?" ”

"It's almost nine o'clock." Qin Dongmin reminded.

Shi Jia smiled suddenly, "You also saw it, I was going home, and I didn't plan to go." ”

Qin Dongmin shook his head helplessly, "I can only say that if you don't go tonight, you will definitely regret it in the future." ”

Shi Jia's heart sank, and he said indifferently: "Thank you Assistant Qin for your kind reminder, but I have already decided not to go." ”

She turned to go home.

"If you accept Gu Fei's proposal, the next predicament Gu Fei will face will be more difficult than yours."

Shi Jia's pace abruptly stopped, she looked back at Qin Dongmin, and asked coldly, "What are you going to do?" ”

"I don't know what Mr. Xu is going to do, but I know that several other shareholders of Shangyuan Company are looking for Gu Fei."

"The people from Shangyuan Company have already looked for him before."

Qin Dongmin laughed in a low voice: "Miss Shi, to say something that you don't like, I don't think Gu Fei is a person worthy of your trust in private. That's all I have to say, consider for yourself. ”

Whether Gu Qingshan was good or bad in the eyes of others, Shi Jia didn't care. She only knew that Gu Qingshan was a good teacher, who was gentle and sincere to herself.

If Gu Qingshan is involved in her own troubles and brings danger to him, she will not be able to escape the blame.

Looking at Qin Dongmin's distant back, Shi Jia lowered his head and took a deep breath, "I'll go with you." ”

Coming to the Haiyue Hotel again, Shi Jia couldn't tell the feeling in his heart.

Looking at the rising numbers on the monitor, Shi Jia's heart also rose as the elevator rose, and the moment the elevator door opened, his heart had already risen to his throat.

"Let's go." Qin Dongmin led the way in front.

Shi Jia followed.

The scarlet cashmere carpet fabric is smooth and dense, with clear and smooth patterns. The furnishings on both sides of the walkway are extraordinary, all of which exude a luxurious atmosphere.

Qin Dongmin stood at the door of a room, knocked on the door, and the door opened automatically after a while.

"Miss Shi, I'll go first."

Seeing Qin Dongmin leave, Shi Jia hesitated for a few seconds, then mustered up the courage to push open the door and walked in.

The air conditioning in the room was turned on very low, and the high heels stepped on the thick soft carpet, and there was a sense of weightlessness hanging in the air.

The Presidential Suite at the Haiyue Hotel is comparable to the palaces of royalty and aristocrats in ancient Europe, and the decoration is extremely extravagant, from small candlesticks to large ceiling lights, each of which is worth a lot of money. A light fragrance permeates the room, adding a touch of romance and tenderness to this luxury.

On the coffee table in the living room was a half-open bottle of red wine, a jar of ice cubes, and a goblet.

Apparently the host was not ready to receive guests.

It was quiet in the house.

After so many years of wandering outside, Shi Jia felt unprecedented confusion and nervousness for the first time, and even wanted to turn around and leave immediately.

She felt that she should not come, and a figure appeared in her field of vision.

Xu Zhiheng had just taken a shower, wearing a dark blue silk bathrobe, his belt hung loosely on his waist and knotted at random, and his neckline was half open, and the outline of his chest muscles could be seen. The slender leg muscles are smooth and clear, and they are full of a strong sense of strength.

He looked up at the European clock hanging on the fireplace, and the time was eight fifty-five in the evening.

Wearing slippers, he walked to the wine rack and took down a Cabernet Sauvignon cup, walked around the coffee table to the center of the sofa and sat down, poured two glasses of red wine, and put a piece of ice in each of them.

The slender hand hooked the glass and brought the red wine to his lips and took a sip, the Adam's apple rolling up and down as he swallowed the red wine.

After drinking, he handed the cup to Shi Jia, meaning to invite.

Shi Jia stood still and didn't move, she didn't want to disturb Xu Zhiheng's interest in drinking, "I'm sorry to bother you late at night, I came here to talk to you about Qin Rourou's compensation." ”

"I said that I should show sincerity before talking about things, Miss Shi stood in front of me with this anti-thief posture, what do you think I will want to talk to you about?" Xu Zhiheng had an inexplicable smile on the corner of his mouth.

Shi Jia condensed, his eyes fell on the glass of red wine in front of Xu Zhiheng, hesitated for a moment, walked over and drank the red wine with his glass.

Xu Zhiheng raised his eyebrows slightly, "Red wine should be tasted carefully, like Miss Shi, no matter how good the red wine is, it will be a waste in your mouth." ”

"I'm a rough person, I really don't understand the mood of poetry and hop tea, and I don't deserve Mr. Xu's red wine." Shi Jia swallowed the aftertaste of red wine left in his mouth, "Mr. Xu, can we talk about business now?" ”

Xu Zhiheng stared at Shi Jia with his eyes and stretched out his hand, "Of course you can, but before we talk about business, please Miss Shi return what I gave you first." ”

Shi Jia avoided Xu Zhiheng's profound gaze, "Room card...... Lost. ”

Xu Zhiheng asked, "Is it lost or thrown away?" ”

Shi Jia knew that he was at a loss and fell silent.

Xu Zhiheng hooked his lips and sneered, leaning back on the European-style sofa, with a lazy posture, "The room card is customized by the hotel, and it takes thousands to reissue one, so Miss Shi just threw it away?" ”

"I'll get it back."

"Look for it now, and talk to me when you find it."

Shi Jia couldn't ask for it.

"Then I'll find the room card and bother Mr. Xu again." She turned and walked to the door, if it was just a thought to escape, she had to implement it now!

Surprisingly, no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't pull the doorknob.
