Chapter 194 Car Cover
Chapter 194 Car Cover
On the streets at night in early June.
Cheng Qiuqiu looked at the two friends approaching, then looked at the silver car over there.
A puzzled look appeared on his face. "Wen Ning, Dong Bing, what were you doing over there just now? I seemed to see you kicking the car."
Liu Wen Ning said with a sparse look in his eyes, "That car owner is really stupid. He parked his car randomly near our neighborhood and even shone his headlights at me."
Zhou Dongbing shrugged and said loudly, "Hey, I just happened to step into a mud pit on the road, and the soles of my shoes were very dirty, so I rubbed my shoes against the mud, which was also a way to help Wen Ning vent his anger."
Hearing this, Cheng Qiuqiu pursed her lips and frowned slightly, saying, "Isn't this a bad idea? And there are cameras around."
"Let's not talk about whether the idiot car owner can find it. We just rubbed it and kicked it twice." Zhou Dongbing said nonchalantly: "The rear fender of the Mercedes-Benz is made of iron. It won't deform at all. It can be cleaned with a simple wipe. Even if the paint is scratched a little, it's hard to determine the damage. Is he going to go to the trouble of calling the police and checking the surveillance?"
The female keyboard player next to her patted Qiuqiu on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Okay QQ, it's not a big deal, why are you entangled in this?"
Cheng Qiuqiu said "hmm" and stopped talking.
Liu Wen Ning looked at the empty streets and the starry sky ahead, facing the cool evening breeze, and suddenly shouted "Wow~".
He took the guitar off his shoulder, plucked the strings casually, and sang as he walked.
「BGM: Goodbye my love I wanna say goodbye
Goodbye my past I want a new life
Goodbye my tears of falling and failure..."
Zhou Dongbing and Jasmine clapped their hands, kept the beat, and sang along.
Cheng Qiuqiu also smiled, clapped her hands gently, and looked at her three friends.
Liu Wen Ning looked at Cheng Qiuqiu's delicate and three-dimensional face. The singing became louder and louder, echoing in the tree-lined avenue.
The song is "My Sky" by Nanzhengbeizhan, which can well express his current mood.
Downstairs at night, two people hugging each other, a silver Mercedes-Benz, gorgeous meteor shower headlights, and myself like a clown.
Since that day, this scene has appeared in my mind from time to time.
For him, it was a difficult hurdle to overcome and also a humiliating past.
But now he has completely given up on Gao Mengting.
If you lose your horse, you will know no blessings.
He liked Gao Mengting because he liked the literary and artistic atmosphere and idealism that she exuded, liked watching her reading in the sunshine, and liked watching her sparkling eyes when she talked about Tolstoy, Goethe, and contradictions.
But all these filters disappeared after that night.
In comparison, Cheng Qiuqiu wants to better satisfy her fantasy of her other half.
She also loves reading. She is an art student, has a high level of painting skills, can play bass and dance.
They all like music and love art.
Moreover, Cheng Qiuqiu had just entered society and still had the ignorance of a girl in an ivory tower.
Especially when she played and sang folk songs, the concentration and appreciation in her eyes fascinated and addicted him like cigarettes.
He also believes that as long as the two of them spend more time in contact, feelings will develop naturally.
The singing gradually stopped.
Liu Wen Ning put away his guitar and smiled at Cheng Qiuqiu, "Your performance tonight was great! Your mentality was very stable, and your bass was even better than during rehearsal. I feel that you have the conditions to try your hand in the entertainment industry."
Jasmine hugged her arm and said, "Yeah, QQ, your face, figure, and singing skills are no worse than those idols. You can try out for a talent show."
Cheng Qiuqiu calmly shook her head and said, "I just like music, just like I like painting. If you really want me to be a singer, I definitely can't do it."
She is self-aware and does have some musical talent, but it is not outstanding enough.
Now she just wants to excel in her job. The band and performances are more like added easter eggs in her life.
Today I was able to muster up the courage to join this makeshift band's performance because I really wanted to sing Su Yu's songs.
The university graduation ceremony is on June 6th, and Su Yu’s concert is on June 19th.
I have to say it was fate. I wish I could see her in person! But unfortunately she couldn't get a ticket.
She has been a fan of Su Yu since junior high school. At that time, she was the lead dancer of the girl group Echo and had excellent singing skills.
Because she is too outstanding and beautiful, she is ostracized and backstabbed by her teammates.
She witnessed her fall to the bottom, and then her rise to become a superstar in the country and the most famous female singer today.
My feelings towards Su Yu also evolved from liking her at first, to admiration, to being unable to extricate myself from her.
The power of role models is great. Perhaps if you like a star for a long time, you will really become more and more like him or her.
Many of her friends said that they saw the shadow of Su Yu in her.
For her, this is the most gratifying compliment.
……
"Who is so wicked! The car was parked in a proper parking space and it didn't bother him!" Xu Qing, who was standing nearby, took a closer look and said angrily and distressedly, "Such a new car, how abominable! He definitely did it on purpose, stepped on the mud and rubbed it on it, what a bitch!"
She had completely regarded Tang Song as her own, and seemed to be more anxious than the car owner himself.
The designated driver looked at Tang Song, "Boss, do you want to call the police? It's not like he kicked it hard. There's no dent. Because it's covered with a car cover, the paint isn't damaged. It's hard to determine who's responsible."
He was just a designated driver, so naturally he wanted to finish this order as quickly as possible and try not to delay his work.
Tang Song walked forward and took a closer look at the location of the footprints. There was indeed no depression, but the car cover must have been scratched by mud and sand, and one of the scratches was quite deep.
He had seen all the information about the car in the safe before. The car cover was a custom-made one from V-KOOL and was very expensive.
Even if it is just the latter part, it is completely possible to determine the responsibility.
The money doesn't matter, what's important is that this deliberate act of kicking the car really makes him uncomfortable.
This is the first car I inherited from the game, and I take good care of it.
Tang Song stood up and said, "Call the police. It doesn't matter if you pay compensation or not, but at least make the other party apologize in person."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Qing had already dialed the phone and began to vividly describe the "crime scene".
Tang Song looked at the designated driver next to him and said with a smile, "Master, please wait a moment. I will pay you an extra hundred yuan for the designated driver's fee."
The designated driver smiled instantly, "Okay, boss, I'm not in a hurry."
Since it was in the main urban area, the police arrived at the scene in less than 5 minutes.
Take photos, register information, and understand the demands.
After going through the process, the police officer said: "We have a clear understanding of the situation. The next step is to retrieve the surveillance footage and collect evidence. We will contact you after we find the person."
"OK, thanks."
...
The silver Mercedes-Benz started slowly and merged into the night of Yancheng.
Xu Qing's face in the car was flushed, and her bright big eyes rolled around in the dark, occasionally glancing at Tang Song's profile.
I couldn't help but imagine the corresponding novel plot in my mind, and felt a little secretly happy.
When Tang Song turned his head, his eyes met hers.
Xu Qing was startled and said stiffly: "Well... with this graphics card, do you want to rebuild a computer?"
"Yeah." Tang Song patted the 4090 under his feet and said with a smile, "I have always used a laptop and have never used a desktop computer. I plan to buy a full set of ROG family buckets when I have time. I will occasionally play 3A masterpieces or something. I can't let Qingqing down."
Hearing him address her in such an intimate way, Xu Qing shyly didn't know where to look.
He lowered his head and stammered, "That's... great... haha. By the way, I have a friend in Shenzhen who works in the digital industry and can get computer parts at a great discount. If you need it, I can buy it for you."
Tang Song hesitated for a moment and said, "Okay, I'll make a list and send it to you later, and you can ask your friend to give you a quote."
"Yeah, no problem." Xu Qing nodded. Maybe it was the aftereffects of the alcohol that made her feel dizzy.
Silence returned to the carriage.
Xu Qing leaned gently on the back seat of the car, secretly opening her eyes a little.
The night outside the window quickly passed by her eyes.
Surrounded by the elegant and exquisite interior, Tang Song sat there quietly, with a beautiful smile on his lips, an upright posture and deep eyes.
Confident, calm and collected.
Xu Qing's heart seemed to be touched, and she felt that Tang Song was particularly charming at this moment.
He was more charming than the one I had met before, and more charming than the one I had imagined in novels.
...
The car stopped at the south gate of Beicheng Garden.
Xu Qing opened the car door and walked down, waving goodbye to Tang Song: "Bye, good night."
She was slightly tipsy and her tone was very sweet and naive.
"Wait a moment." Tang Song walked to the rear of the car and opened the trunk.
He picked out some items and came to her carrying a white gift bag.
"A gift for you."
"I have a gift too!?" Xu Qing widened her eyes in surprise. Her JK miniskirt bounced up and down, and she looked very excited.
Tang Song raised the corner of his mouth, picked up the gift bag and shook it gently, "Well, take it."
Looking at the golden "DIOR" LOGO on it, Xu Qing licked her lips, feeling a little embarrassed.
She gave such an expensive gift of 4090 mainly for her best friend's career.
If this hadn't happened, she would definitely not have taken the initiative to send a gift.
In comparison, Tang Song's performance made her feel a little ashamed.
The first time we had dinner together, he treated us and gave us a bracelet.
This time he agreed to invest and also gave me luxury goods.
After taking the heavy gift bag, Xu Qing glanced down and was shocked.
There is not only a bag in it, but also a lot of cosmetics, which look very expensive.
Although she didn't know much about luxury goods, she knew that it was probably more expensive than her own 4090.
"Thank you for your gift, I like it very much." After thinking for a while, she gritted her teeth and said, "How about your desktop computer? I will help you buy accessories, and you don't have to pay me."
She still has nearly 5 yuan in savings, so at most she can spend another yuan to buy him a monitor, a computer case, etc.
Tang Song looked at her in surprise, "Are you sure?"
Xu Qing was stunned for a moment, and said weakly: "Um... Excuse me, how much does the ROG family bucket cost?" "The whole set is about more than 5."
"Sorry to bother you." Xu Qing placed her hands in front of her and bowed respectfully.
The JK uniform on her body and her long black hair fluttered in the wind.
Then she turned around stiffly, and her footsteps became faster and faster, twisting her little butt and disappearing at the gate.
Tang Song shook his head and smiled, feeling it was very interesting.
The playful and lively Xu Qing and the confident and generous school beauty Shen have two completely different personalities. I don’t know how they became best friends.
Agreeing to invest in Youjie Housekeeping was not an impulsive act, nor was it purely for Shen Yuyan and Xu Qing.
After obtaining the "Slover Trust", he originally wanted to experience the feeling of operating capital for investment.
According to what was stated at the roadshow, Youjie Housekeeping's operations are still very stable.
This investment is not just throwing money away, but exchanging it for shares of equal value.
Of course, all this has to wait until he has done research and confirmed that there are no problems before proceeding.
……
The key turned, and with a "click", the door was gently opened.
Immediately afterwards, Xu Qing stuck her head in, and after confirming that her best friend was not in the living room, she tiptoed in.
I walked into the bedroom, closed the door, patted my chest, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, Yanyan didn't find out, otherwise she would have asked me questions after seeing what I was wearing.
I want to wait until the investment is confirmed so that I can give her a big surprise.
"Qingqing." Suddenly, a familiar voice came from the side.
"Ah!" Xu Qing screamed, her hair almost standing on end.
Shen Yuyan, who was sitting in front of the computer chair, turned around and looked at her with a serious and scrutinizing gaze.
Xu Qing pouted and said, "Why are you in my room? You scared me!"
The sound of wheels rolling was heard, and Shen Yuyan stood up from the computer chair.
He walked up to her, snatched the Dior gift bag from her hand and took a look through it.
Dior chain handbag, LV perfume, Chanel scarf and lipstick.
Then, Shen Yuyan leaned over to her mouth and sniffed it, frowning and saying, "You are wearing such sexy clothes, drinking so much wine with your clients, and holding luxury goods worth nearly 3!"
"So expensive!?" Xu Qing exclaimed, and quickly snatched the gift bag from her best friend's hand, hugged it tightly to her chest, and said nervously: "This is mine! It's all mine! I will definitely not give it to you this time!"
Shen Yuyan said unhappily, "Who wants to snatch it from you, Qingqing, you are not going out to have paid dating behind my back, are you?"
"Ah?" Xu Qing's eyes suddenly widened, her face flushed and hot, "How is that possible! Xinjiyan, what nonsense are you talking about!"
"Then what's going on? Dasha Qing."
"Damn it, what an ugly name!"
The two of them hugged each other and played around for a while. Shen Yuyan pressed the tipsy Xu Qing down on the bed, pinched her cheek and said, "Tell me, what happened?"
She knew her best friend very well and of course didn't believe that she would go out and mess around. She was just joking.
However, it can be seen from her actions and expressions that Xu Qing is hiding something from him.
"Hmph!" Xu Qing snorted, yawned, and said in a vague tone: "Let me tell you, I already have a way to invest in your company. Send me the business plan later. He said that as long as there are no problems with your company, he will invest in this project!"
Shen Yuyan lowered his head and touched her forehead. "It's a little hot. Do you have a fever? Or are you drunk?"
Seeing that her best friend didn't believe it, Xu Qing hummed for a while and closed her eyes slightly, "Anyway, you have to send it to me. This is an opportunity I finally got."
She did drink a little too much tonight. Now that she was home, and after playing around with Shen Yuyan for a while, she felt dizzy and her eyelids were particularly heavy.
"Okay, I'll send it to you when I have time."
"Send it now!" Xu Qing pinched her best friend.
Shen Yuyan's face instantly turned red. "Okay, okay, I'll send it to your email right away! Let me go!"
"Yeah, I'm so sleepy. I'll take a nap for a while." Xu Qing yawned and closed her eyes completely.
Shen Yuyan rubbed her hair helplessly.
Started helping her change into pajamas and wipe her face.
Looking at Xu Qing’s red face.
Shen Yuyan felt a sense of loss as if her ignorant sister had grown up.
She dated a boy without telling me, wore JK, accepted gifts, and drank so much alcohol.
Maybe in a while you'll have a boyfriend and get married.
We have been deskmates since the first year of junior high school. We have been together for 13 years and have never been apart. We have long been familiar with each other.
Thinking about the fact that they would each have their own families and live separately in the future, Shen Yuyan felt a little lost.
……
June 2023, 6, Friday, sunny to cloudy, 2~17℃.
10 o'clock in the morning.
“Ding-ling-ling——” “Ding-ling-ling——”
The shrill ringing of the cell phone continued.
Zhou Dongbing beside him patted him on the shoulder and said, "Wen Ning, your phone is ringing."
Liu Wen Ning turned over, his eyes dazed, and picked up his cell phone from the bedside table.
He answered the phone yawning and said tiredly, "Hello, who is this?"
After they left the restaurant last night, Cheng Qiuqiu went back to sleep next door, while Liu Wen Ning and two friends drank at home until after two in the morning and are still hungover.
Soon, a serious voice came from the receiver.
Liu Wen Ning's eyes widened, and he came to his senses instantly. He said nervously, "Yes, I am Liu Wen Ning, and Zhou Dongbing is right next to me. What can I do for you?"
"We did stay at the Music and Joy Feast until the evening last night, but we are not sure what time we left."
"Kicked the car? Well, it seems that happened. It was mainly because we were drunk at the time and our minds were a little unclear. Plus, we were happily chatting with friends, so we just gently rubbed the muddy water off our feet. It was not intentional."
"Apologize in person? Compensate 500 yuan? We can pay the money, but we just need him to prove that the scratch on his car cover is worth that much money. I'm afraid we can't apologize in person, we're all very busy at work."
After hanging up the phone, Liu Wen Ning's face became embarrassed.
Zhou Dongbing also woke up and frowned and asked, "Is it the owner of the car from yesterday?"
Liu Wen Ning nodded and said, "He said that his car cover was scratched. As long as we apologize in person, we only need to pay 500 yuan."
Zhou Dongbing cursed, "Fuck! Is it that serious? It's just a few rubs. This guy is such a fucking jerk! He even asked us to apologize in person? I won't tolerate his bad habits!"
"Well, I definitely won't do that. The worst that can happen is that I'll be sued and fined. Let's go. I'm hungry. Call Jasmine and we'll go downstairs to eat."
Liu Wen Ning shrugged and didn't take it to heart.
It's not illegal not to apologize, and I didn't say I wouldn't compensate you anyway.
It's just a scratch on the car cover, the loss is not large, and it will not involve public security management punishment at all.
Thinking of Tang Song’s angry look, I felt secretly happy.
……
30th floor, Yunxi Building.
The K1 live broadcast room is being renovated.
Accompanied by the construction manager Wang Dongliang, Tang Song took a careful tour.
The overall style has begun to take shape.
It feels like a cloakroom in a luxury five-star hotel.
The overall color tone is mainly elegant beige and noble gold. The walls are covered with high-grade silk wallpaper, which has a delicate touch and soft luster.
The floor is paved with dark solid wood flooring, which is very textured and makes the entire live broadcast room look more peaceful and comfortable.
Overall, it looks full of atmosphere and is very suitable for their user group.
Tang Song nodded and said with a satisfied smile: "Okay, let's continue to decorate the K2 and K3 live broadcast rooms according to this style."
Wang Dongliang quickly responded: "Okay, Mr. Tang! No problem!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the cell phone rang.
Tang Song gestured to him, answered the phone and walked out, "Hello."
"Hello, this is Tang Song, right? This is the Qiaoxi District Police Station. We have communicated with the two people who kicked the car... Take a look. If you don't accept it, we can continue to coordinate."
"You don't want to accept an in-person apology?" Tang Song shook his head and said politely, "Okay, thank you for your hard work. I will then take the normal legal route and pursue responsibility and compensation."
hang up the phone.
Tang Song didn't take this matter to heart.
This Mercedes-Benz S450L is registered under the name of a company, so you don’t have to worry about such small matters yourself.
Afterwards, he directly called Zhao Xingzhi of Quanjing Law Firm and briefly recounted the incident.
I also sent the invoice, store information and other information of the car cover.
After returning home last night, he also found the information about the car cover in the safe.
The invoice price for the fixed model is 6 yuan.
The puncture resistance and tensile strength are both very good.
Normally, scratches of this magnitude can be completely repaired with just a baking gun.
However, he can also negotiate with the store and request a new car cover.
In that case, even if you only replace the back piece, it will definitely cost more than 1 yuan.
This involves intentional damage to property and has reached the standard for criminal prosecution. I believe that after the other party recognizes the reality, he or she will definitely take the initiative to apologize.
