Chapter 22: Waiting for you until nine o'clock in the evening
From a cautious attempt to a strong hug, Gu Qingshan only took three seconds. Before Shi Jia reacted, he retreated into the elevator compartment and pressed the door close button.
The elevator door closed again, and Shi Jia watched the numbers on the monitor count down until he finally stopped on the first floor.
She didn't understand what had just happened for a short time, and her usual bold and rational style was wiped out by Gu Qingshan's behavior. When she woke up, she suddenly understood that Gu Qingshan had hugged her just now.
But why hug?
Etiquette?
Shi Jia frowned and didn't understand, or maybe he didn't want to understand.
Hurriedly turned around and prepared to go back to the house, Shi An hid behind the security door, his clear eyes flashed with happiness, he must have seen the scene just now.
"Teacher Gu, he's thanking me for keeping him to eat." Shi Jia explained.
Shi An pouted, his black eyes turned smartly, "Then why didn't Teacher Gu thank me and Aunt Xue'e?" ”
"You're not here."
Shi An nodded suddenly in realization, came out from behind the door and took Shi Jia's hand and walked into the house, "The next time Teacher Gu comes to the house for dinner, I will also send him downstairs." ”
Shi Jia knew that Shi An'an matured early, compared to children of the same age, this child knew how to take care of the feelings of adults, and the words he occasionally said made Shi Jia feel that he was already a little adult.
Squatting down to maintain an eye-level angle with Shi An, Shi Jia said softly: "Xiao An, Teacher Gu is very busy, and he won't come to the house often for dinner." ”
"Can we invite him?"
Shi Jia smiled gently: "Teacher Gu is a polite person, he will not easily refuse others, but we can't do things that make him embarrassed because he is easy to speak." ”
"Oh." Shi An sighed deeply.
Shi Jia held the child's delicate arm and pinched it gently dotingly, "Go back and get ready for sleep." ”
Xu caused a second injury to the old injury yesterday, Shi Jia woke up the next morning and found that her foot was more swollen, and under the persuasion of Shi An and Mo Xue'e, she finally decided to rest at home for two days, and then go to the company when the foot injury was better.
She didn't expect that in just two days, the company was facing an unexpected predicament.
Yu Ran sat in the office decadently with a pair of panda eyes, and when she saw Shi Jia coming back, she was busy pretending to be normal, "Why don't you take two more days off?" ”
Shi Jia understands Yu Ran, this look looks like something is wrong, "My feet are almost good, and I am bored when I am idle at home, so I decided to go back to work." What happened to you? ”
"Nothing." Yu Ran turned her head to fix her hair.
Shi Jia comforted, "Tell me the truth"
Yu Ran glanced at Shi Jia, and was silent for a long time before saying, "Jiajia, something happened to the company." ”
"What's wrong?"
"At the event yesterday afternoon, because our stage was not stable, the support frame of the roof suddenly fell during the event, and it just hit the female model performing on the stage, and she is still lying in the hospital."
Shi Jia anxiously asked: "Is the guest's life in danger?" ”
"There was no danger to her life, her thigh was cut by the iron sheet on the bracket, she had dozens of stitches, and there were several bruises on her body." Yu Ran gritted her teeth and added: "I have already apologized to the guest, and she also accepts my apology." However, the cost of treatment and lost time of the guests are borne by our company. The victim asked us to pay for the medical expenses and skin repair costs, and also compensate her for 800,000 yuan in lost work expenses. ”
Shi Jia's heart instantly sank to the bottom, "Did you go to the scene to verify?" ”
"I've verified, it's really our negligence."
"Is the guest's injury serious?"
"I asked the doctor, and he said that the injury was very deep, and it was very unlikely that there would be no scar."
The sudden change caught Shi Jia off guard, and she slumped in the sofa chair, holding her forehead with one hand and feeling anxious.
The company has never had an accident since its opening, and every time she and Yu Ran set up the stage, she and Yu Ran have repeatedly asked the staff to ensure the safety of each link, even if it is a screw, it must be tightened to the tightest round, and each contract clearly states that 'Party B shall be fully responsible for the accident caused by Party B's negligence during the performance'.
The scale of the company is already small, and the start-up fund was also put together by her and Yu Ran's life savings, so it is better to have more trouble in daily work than to eliminate any risks.
Once faced with a problem, they are simply unable to compensate.
Although 800,000 yuan for lost work is not a small amount, two people can still get it by selling the car. Restoring the wound to an intact state is a probabilistic event as she has also been injured and scarred.
If the guest is scarring, the possibility is almost zero.
Yu Ran walked to the chair on the other side and sat down, seeing that Shi Jia was anxious, he couldn't bear to continue to add, but he wanted to say it sooner or later, so he simply finished it at once.
"I'll also tell you - this guest claims to know Xu Zhiheng, yes, the same Xu Zhiheng you know. She said that if we didn't do what she said, she would sue us, and in addition to compensation, she would have to revoke our business licenses and make it impossible for the two of us to stay in Qingyuan. ”
Shi Jia slowly lowered his hand and looked at Yu Ran with tired eyes, "What?" ”
At this moment, she would rather suspect that she had misheard, or that Yu Ran had said the wrong name.
Yu Ran said: "You heard it right, this woman named Qin Rourou is Xu Zhiheng's lover in Qingyuan. ”
After getting Yu Ran's reconfirmation, Shi Jia felt that the strength in his body had been drained.
……
Shi Jia bought flowers and fruit baskets to visit the injured guests in the hospital in person, and Qin Rourou was lying on the bed in the ward, with a white bandage tied to the thigh of her left leg.
Knowing Shi Jia's intentions, Qin Rourou repeated her claim to Shi Jia again straight to the point, and added at the end: "I am a professional model, and every inch of skin on my body is piled up with money, and I think Miss Shi can understand how much impact this situation has on my career." My requirements are not high, in addition to bearing all the treatment costs, you can not miss the additional 800,000 lost work expenses, if you leave a scar, you are still responsible for paying for repairs, as long as these three points are met, I and the organizer will not hold you accountable, otherwise you will wait to be sued. ”
Under normal circumstances, the safety of the guests should be the responsibility of the organizer, and if something happens, Qin Rourou's claim should be the organizer, and the organizer will be held responsible. The reason why Qin Rourou went directly to Shi Jia was mainly because she didn't want to offend the organizer, so as not to take over the job in the future.
Knowing that he was in the wrong, Shi Jia didn't say anything anymore, and left the ward after apologizing, Yu Ran hurriedly walked over and asked, "How is it?" ”
"Let's consult a lawyer first to see if it's private or go through the normal legal process."
"I'll call the lawyer right away."
Yu Ran immediately took out his mobile phone and called Lawyer Tang, who was in charge of the case between himself and Jiang Lin, Shi Jia found a place to sit down, and waited for Yu Ran's reply.
It is reasonable for this kind of thing to happen, and they are all mainly responsible, if Qin Rourou insists repeatedly, she is also ready to compensate.
A familiar figure suddenly ushered in the corridor of the hospital, and Shi Jiading saw that it was Xu Zhiheng's assistant Qin Dongming, and there was another man in formal clothes besides him.
Shi Jia felt that Qin Dongming was looking for him.
Sure enough, Qin Dongming walked up to Shi Jia and directly introduced the man next to him, "Hello Miss Shi, this is Miss Qin Rourou's lawyer, and he is responsible for dealing with you about Miss Qin Rourou's compensation." ”
The moment he saw Qin Dongming, Shi Jia knew that the whole thing was out of his control, and he was terrified in his heart, but he had to pretend to be calm and stand up and face all this, "Mr. Qin might as well say it directly. ”
Qin Dong clearly gestured to the lawyer, and the lawyer said righteously: "Ms. Qin Rourou and our company, that is, Yanwu Group, have signed a labor contract, Ms. Qin Rourou's image, reputation and safety are protected by us, we attach great importance to the seriousness of this incident, in view of the particularity of Ms. Qin Rourou's profession, we have decided to increase the compensation claim." ”
The six words 'raising the compensation requirements' made Shi Jia's heart cold, and his scalp tingled, "How do you want to improve?" ”
The lawyer said: "First of all, we will directly go through the legal process and deal with it in a fair, open and just manner, and the compensation will be changed from 800,000 yuan to 1.6 million yuan demanded by Ms. Qin Rourou." ”
Shi Jia felt that the blood in her body was flowing backwards, and her eyes were black for a while, she was ready to ask for the other party's sky-high price, but she didn't expect that it would be directly doubled on the original basis.
This is the biggest blow she has suffered since she started her business, if it weren't for the fact that her mind has become mature and calm because of these years of training, otherwise she would not have been able to bear such a high amount of compensation.
Shi Jia tried to stay awake, swallowed his tight throat, and said after a few seconds of silence: "We can ask the best aesthetic doctor to do scar repair surgery for the person concerned and bear all the costs, but I don't think the compensation of 1.6 million yuan is unreasonable." ”
"If Miss Shi doesn't accept it, you can find a lawyer, and the above is our attitude." After the lawyer finished speaking without a smile, he told Qin Dongming: "I'll go in and see the client." ”
Qin Dongming nodded.
After the lawyer left, Qin Dongming took out an envelope from his briefcase and handed it to Shi Jia with both hands, "Miss Shi don't have to be frustrated, we Mr. Xu said that he will wait for you until nine o'clock tonight, but it's only nine o'clock, not a minute late." ”
Shi Jiazhui put his hand at his side and clenched it into a fist, and looked coldly at the envelope handed by Qin Dongming, "What do you mean?" ”
"Miss Shi is a smart person, and she will naturally understand after reading it."
Shi Jia hesitated for a moment and took the envelope.
"Miss Shi, I hope we won't have a day when we will go to court." Qin Dongming finished speaking and entered the ward.
Shi Jia opened the envelope and took out the contents of it, which was a card.
A key card for the Haiyatt Hotel with the room number on it.
Nothing else.
Shi Jia pulled the room card into the palm of his hand, the edges and corners of the card pierced into the skin, and the sharp pain spread from the palm to the depths of his heart-
Shi Jia couldn't figure out why......
said that the person who cut off contact was Xu Zhiheng, and the person who took the initiative to hold an umbrella for himself in the rain was Xu Zhiheng, and now the person who wants to push himself into a desperate situation is still Xu Zhiheng-
Xu Zhiheng, what do you want?
