Chapter 42: Coffee Spilled
A cup of piping hot coffee seemed to be steaming white smoke and was coming at her face.
In an emergency, Lu Mingqiao realized that she couldn't escape, she tilted her head, avoiding the danger of her face being disfigured, but her body did not escape the catastrophe.
The coffee ran down her neck and down her shirt, and when it was splashed on her body, she didn't even feel the heat, at first it felt like a pinprick and then it felt hot in the heart.
"Are you sick?" Lu Mingqiao saw that the person who poured the coffee turned out to be Ji Xiao's little girlfriend, and there was a girl next to her, who was actually Xiaoxiao.
No wonder Xiaoxiao didn't like her when she saw her for the first time, it turned out that she was friends with Ji Xiao's little girlfriend!
It's a coincidence that no book is written.
Although Lu Mingqiao was splashed with coffee and her clothes were stained with large coffee stains, she didn't panic too much, and quickly stabilized her position and looked at these two people coldly.
The little girlfriend seems to be splashing people for the first time, and after splashing, she saw a lot of people around to see the excitement, and she was a little weak-hearted, but she still forcibly supported her and said, "Please don't pester Uncle Ji anymore!" ”
"That's it, you're all divided, you can't seduce someone else's boyfriend!" Xiaoxiao also supports her best friend.
"What's your name?" Lu Mingqiao asked.
This question stunned the little girlfriend, she reacted and said, "What's the matter with you?" ”
"I ask you what's your name!" Lu Mingqiao asked sharply.
With this roar, the little girlfriend coaxed a little and said, "Jia Tian." ”
"Jia Tian, right? I'll take you to see if it's your Uncle Ji pestering me, or I'm pestering your Uncle Ji! After Lu Mingqiao finished speaking, he directly stepped forward and grabbed his little girlfriend and took her to the security room.
"What are you doing!" Jia Tian didn't want to go with Lu Mingqiao.
"It's like, what do you want to do in broad daylight?" Xiaoxiao grabbed Jia Tian.
Lu Mingqiao sneered and said, "You guys can splash people in broad daylight, can't I take you to see the surveillance?" Take a good look at how Uncle Ji came to harass me? ”
Lu Mingqiao couldn't help but say, grabbed Jia Tian and pushed the crowd away, and then went straight to the security room.
explained her intention to the security guard, Lu Mingqiao said the date, and found the video of Ji Xiao coming to the company to block her before the Chinese New Year, and it can be clearly seen in the video that Ji Xiao stopped Lu Mingqiao and didn't let her go, and was finally kicked by her.
"Take a good look! Take care of your dog man, don't let him out and bite people, you won't be ashamed to show up when it's over, and you will run out to rely on others! Lu Mingqiao said.
Jia Tian and Xiaoxiao stared at the surveillance video, still a little unconvinced, and shouted: "Then it must be that you didn't tell him clearly, otherwise how could he look for you?" ”
"Unreasonable, huh? If it's unreasonable, let's deal with the problem in a different way. Lu Mingqiao asked.
Jia Tian opened her mouth, why did she feel so scared in her heart? Lu Mingqiao didn't hit her or scold her, but she couldn't answer now.
"How can we be unreasonable? As the saying goes, flies don't bite eggs, if you refuse firmly enough, how can he keep pestering you? It must be that you want to get away with it, like a green tea, and you are reluctant to break up with him. ”
"It's boring to be quick to speak, wait for me to patrol and arrest, I hope you can be good at arguing when you are the defendant, sister." Lu Mingqiao was lazy to quarrel with them like a primary school student.
She asked the security guard for the video of being splashed with coffee, and then reported it to the patrol.
Seeing Lu Mingqiao's patrol report, Jia Tian was a little scared, after all, no matter how she said it, she was also the one who splashed it.
"I don't have time to spend with you, let's go." Jia Tian pulled Xiaoxiao and wanted to leave.
"What? Think you'll be right back in your dorm room? Aren't you afraid that I'll take the patrol to the school to find you? Lu Mingqiao asked.
"You...... Don't deceive people too much! Jia Tian said indignantly.
"Scared? If we're afraid, we'll be private. ”
"What's wrong?" Jia Tian asked weakly.
"A silk shirt is 3,500 pieces, the skirt is not expensive, more than nine hundred, count you nine hundred, my bag is stained with coffee stains, I need to clean and maintain it, give 1,000, if you can't wash it, pay 20,000." I was troubled with 2100 for lost work, and I haven't gone to the hospital to check the injury and get medicine, you give 3000, and I think I was frightened, and the mental damage fee is 5000, not counting the money for the new package, a total of 15,000. "I'm afraid I'm in a hurry when I count the new bag.
"Fifteen thousand? Why don't you go and grab money! You're a slander! Xiaoxiao heard this and retorted.
"What nonsense are you talking about? Just your humble shirt costs 3500? Who are you fooling? Jia Tian didn't expect that Lu Mingqiao would ask her for so much money, how much is a cup of coffee? After using up the coupon for less than ten yuan, but asking her to compensate 15,000?
"It's fifteen thousand five, don't wipe it out without permission." Lu Mingqiao corrected.
"Impossible! Report the patrol arrest, who is afraid of whom! Jia Tian felt that Lu Mingqiao was blackmailing money, and she fantasized that maybe the patrol would come, so she wouldn't have to pay so much.
She's just a student, she hasn't worked yet, where does she get so much money?
After the patrol came, Jia Tian and Xiaoxiao hurried up and said, as if the person who said first could get some benefits.
"Uncle patrol, I didn't mean it, I was just too angry, I was carried away by love and lost my mind, but this matter can't be slapped in the face, if she refuses to my boyfriend completely, I think my boyfriend and I will not have problems, so the root of the problem is in her, I just came to ask for an explanation, she actually blackmailed money, I am still studying, where do I have money, my living expenses are given by my family every month, I have no ability to make money." Jia Tian said, and cried.
"Yes, Uncle Patrol, even if my friend splashed her, it's not right, then she can't open her mouth and ask for fifteen thousand?" Xiaoxiao said.
After listening to the two girls, the patrol asked Lu Mingqiao again: "The patrol you reported?" Tell me what's going on? ”
"The boyfriend in her mouth is my ex-boyfriend, it has long been divided, there is no relationship, whether the matter between them can be solved well, but it does not depend on outsiders, as for whether it is fraudulent money, you go to my company's personnel department to ask me about my salary, I didn't ask her for more than a point for lost work expenses, there is a mark on the shirt, go check how much is the shirt of this brand, and see if I have any nonsense? As for the medical expenses and mental damages, she splashed me with very hot coffee, and she needed to check the injury. I think it's almost a second-degree burn. Lu Mingqiao talked about things and did not exaggerate.
A female patrol officer privately looked at Lu Mingqiao's scalded area and said, "Please go to the hospital with the two of you, you really need to have an injury." ”
I went to the designated hospital to have a look, because there was no blistering, it was diagnosed as a first-degree burn, and the doctor prescribed some medicine.
After taking the medicine, the group came to the patrol bureau.
Even though the clothes on Lu Mingqiao's body were splashed with a large map-like pattern, she was not embarrassed at all, she still walked with the wind, and even the smile at the corners of her eyebrows and eyes was wanton and open.
Jia Tian felt that he was in front of Lu Mingqiao, and his sense of existence was weak.
"The thing is that Jia Tian, a sophomore at XXX University, splashed Ms. Lu with hot coffee because of a personal grudge, causing a burn ......." The patrol stated the incident this morning according to the time, place, person, cause, and result.
"It's because she didn't completely reject my boyfriend........" Before Jia Tian's words were finished, the patrol officer interrupted: "That's just your motive for committing the crime, and it's a fact that you deliberately splashed people." ”
"What's going on with you? Do you want to go private, or go through the procedure? The patrol asked.
"I said it privately, but they disagreed, saying that they had an opinion on the amount of compensation I proposed, so I litigated." Lu Mingqiao said.
"What about you?" The patrol looked at Jia Tian and Xiaoxiao.
"Comrade Patrol, we are still students, where did we get so much money? Isn't that bullying? ”
"You are students, but you are adults and have the obligation and responsibility to bear the consequences of your actions." The patrol said.
"But fifteen thousand is too much."
"This is the injury appraisal in the hospital just now, Ms. Lu's work unit and salary slip, we have also checked, the lost work pay is really not much for you, as for the clothes and bags, you can check the brand, the specific amount you can negotiate again."
Jia Tian looked at Lu Mingqiao pitifully.
"I refused to negotiate, and I didn't ask her to pay a new package, which is already my kindness, just fifteen thousand and five, not a single cent, either give money or sue for it."
"What should I do?" Jia Tian looked at Xiaoxiao.
Xiaoxiao hasn't encountered this kind of thing, don't the rivals on TV all pour coffee and throw cakes, and I haven't seen anyone sue because of this?
"I don't know." Xiaoxiao muttered quietly.
"It's all your fault, you gave me a bad idea!" Jia Tian complained.
"How do you blame me? I asked you to splash, can you not splash? Haven't you splashed yet? Xiaoxiao shot back.
"Then you have to give me half of this money, you are the idea."
"Damn, why should I?" Xiaoxiao stared, what is half of fifteen? Seven thousand five, where did she get so much money?
"But I don't have any money, what should I do?" Jia Tian cried and said.
"You call your Uncle Ji." Xiaoxiao's moves.
"I don't have time to spend it with you, transfer the money to me within three days, otherwise I will sue, and it will be enforced at that time, I don't know if it will affect your studies?" Lu Mingqiao threw down such a sentence and went out of the patrol and arrest bureau.
Back at the office, there was a spare set of clothes in the office, which she took out to change into.
When I changed clothes, I saw that my neck and chest were still hot and red, and I couldn't get angry.
Although I know that if I rub some medicine, I will definitely be fine in a few days, but is it just so white?
Taking a step back, what if you didn't dodge it and splashed your face?
When I think about it this way, I must not let go of these willful and reckless acts. Spirits.
Lu Mingqiao found the video of the broken coffee saved on her mobile phone, and she never played a certain sound, registered an account, and sent the video out, with text.
One hundred yuan can be hot for six hours, she directly rushed a thousand, and hung it for her sister for a week! On the popular bar work. Essence.
"Sister Qiao, are you okay?" Assistant Xu Huihui came in.
"It's fine." Lu Mingqiao is now neatly dressed, glamorous, without any signs of decadence, she has already focused on her work, as if the events of the morning meeting have nothing to do with her.
Xu Huihui nodded, her worries were a little redundant, after all, who could bargain with Lu Mingqiao? The crystal was so arrogant before, and it wasn't that Sister Qiao took it away with a trick.
"Sister, are you going to just let them lose some money? These girls have nothing to do every day, they can't study well, they don't talk about love, and they specialize in moths. Xu Huihui said.
"I'll let her know that society is sinister." Lu Mingqiao said lightly.
**
Jiang Chen sorted out the report of the intelligent garbage sorting robot in detail at home, and at four or five o'clock in the afternoon, Qin Wenzhi came to see him.
"How did you get the legs?" Qin Wenzhi was very surprised to see that Jiang Chen was injured.
"It doesn't matter, I accidentally bumped into it." Jiang Chen said lightly, and then admonished: "Professor, please don't tell him." ”
Qin Wenzhi nodded, he didn't want to get too involved in the Jiang family's affairs.
"About work, did you ask about home?"
"Yes, it's really my father who is obstructing it."
"And what are your plans?"
"Professor, I want to do something on my own." Jiang Chen said.
"What is it about?"
"I'll show you something, I need your help."
Jiang Chen took out the drawings and the computer, and told Professor Qin about the working principle of the robot, as well as the different research and development for different fields in the future.
Professor Qin watched and listened, nodding his head incessantly.
After listening to what Jiang Chen said, he said: "You, you should have done this a long time ago, now some companies are also interested in research and development, it depends on who does it more exquisitely, I have heard a lot of people mention, but so far, it is still just a concept, Xiaochen, I can help you, make this project happen." ”
"Professor, I need you to introduce investors to me." Jiang Chen said.
"No problem, when your leg is better, I'll form a game and let's talk together." Qin Wen has a wide range of contacts, investors, executives of major companies, there are people he knows, Jiang Chen's project is operable, if it is done well, it will be another big step forward in the artificial intelligence industry.
"Professor, don't tell me about my family, I'm afraid they'll stop me again." Jiang Chen couldn't help but be a little worried.
"Don't worry, this time I will cover in my name, and I will definitely not let them stir up the yellow." Qin Wenzhi cherishes his talents, and he still has high hopes for Jiang Chen.
"Thank you, Professor."
"You hurry up and get the report ready, I'll find someone, and I'll tell you when I'm arranged."
"There's Professor Law."
"However, why did you suddenly want to open it now, not just to live in a bigger house, right?" Professor Qin asked.
"I want to take more initiative and live the life I love with the people I like."
"Got a girlfriend?"
"Hmm." Jiang Chen nodded.
"Yes, good love inspires people to forge ahead, and the feelings that can make you want to go up are all good feelings."
Although Professor Qin had never met Lu Mingqiao and didn't know what kind of person she was, he felt that she should still be a good person.
After Professor Qin left, Jiang Chen looked at the time, it was already past seven o'clock, and he felt that Lu Mingqiao should be about to get off work.
I was about to talk to her by voice, but I didn't expect Shen Yunfei's call to come first.
"Dude, the flood has washed the Qiantang River."
"Speak human words." Jiang Chen listened inexplicably.
"I'll send you a video for you to see."
Then Shen Yunfei sent the video of the popular sound breaking coffee.
It has to be said that in this era, the speed of information is particularly fast.
When he swiped this video, what he noticed was not that Lu Mingqiao was splashed, but that his girlfriend Xiaoxiao was actually good friends with the girl who spilled coffee.......
What is this?
Didn't Xiaoxiao eat with Lu Damei last time? Why did you get into trouble? What hatred and what grudge?
What is the logical relationship between this? He's a straight man, and he really can't figure it out.
Shen Yunfei, who was full of curiosity and shameless to ask, also made a phone call to Xiaoxiao and asked if the person in the video was her.
Xiaoxiao's best friend and good classmate Jia Tian in the same dormitory has a boyfriend named Ji Xiao, and Ji Xiao's ex-girlfriend is Lu Mingqiao.
According to Xiaoxiao, Ji Xiao has been breaking up with Jia Tian since last year, saying that he wants to marry Lu Mingqiao, and Jia Tian thinks that Lu Mingqiao is robbing Ji Xiao.
Then as soon as the two of them combined, they made a stupid move and poured coffee.......
Jiang Chen saw this video, he didn't care about Jia Tianxiao, he saw Lu Mingqiao being splashed!
A call came to Lu Mingqiao's mobile phone.
"Brother, we really have a heart, I was just about to call you."
Lu Mingqiao's voice came from the other end of the phone, and it always sounded high-spirited and crisp.
"Are you off work?" Jiang Chen asked.
"I'm off work, I'm in the subway, I'm going to go today, you should be strong and take care of yourself." She didn't mention spilling coffee.
"Didn't you encounter anything today?"
"It's okay, everything is fine."
She didn't say anything, she never told him about things herself.
He knew that she didn't want him to worry, but in fact, another meaning was that she hadn't relied on him yet.
Or, before he made her feel bullied, he could go to him for justice.
Going deeper, it's his ability that hasn't reached the point where she feels he can protect her.
Jiang Chen got on a motorcycle and rushed to where Lu Mingqiao lived.
Lu Mingqiao got home, threw the bag on the sofa, and then sat down, feeling like a pinprick in his chest, so annoying.
She was about to unbutton and apply some medicine when the doorbell rang.
Lu Mingqiao got up, wondering who was coming at this time, and as soon as he opened the door, he saw Jiang Chen standing outside.
"Why are you here? How did you get here? Can your legs move? ”
Jiang Chen's eyes stayed on Lu Mingqiao's neck, and he could already see a hot redness, and his hand reached over to see what it looked like he had been injured.
"You....... Why? Lu Mingqiao grabbed the collar of his shirt and slapped his hand, which was a bit too sudden, and she couldn't deal with it for a while.
"You're still hiding from me when you're hurt like this?"
He pulled Lu Mingqiao's hand away and unbuttoned his shirt.
