1392: Chapter 677: Boss Zeng Local Specialty Beef Steak 1392: Chapter 677: Boss Zeng Local Specialty Beef Steak Cars being slightly dented or scratched isn’t actually a big deal in itself; the main issue is people’s attitudes.
Sotis, when two cars accidentally bump into each other, the people inside co out calmly, apologize, and chat.
As they talk, they might even beco friends.
But then there are those who think they are pretty aweso.
They get out of their cars all high and mighty and more often than not, it ends up in a fight.
Zeng Zhaokun was undoubtedly one of those who thought he was pretty aweso.
As for his son getting into a fight and being taken to the police station, Zeng just scolded him a couple of tis after paying the fine and picking him up.
Regarding the damaged car, he only thought of making a phone call when he heard that the damaged car was quite expensive.
To Zeng, making a phone call was a sincere gesture.
For Yan Fei, it was quite normal to feel dissatisfied upon hearing Boss Zeng’s words.
Anyone would feel the sa.
The person involved was your own son.
The implication and tone of your words seed as if you hadn’t even grasped the cause of the incident.
Was that supposed to be funny?
Besides, was that supposed to be an unpleasant incident?
If you want to apologize, do it sincerely.
If you could talk nicely, considering it was your son involved, and you as a parent standing up now, putting both parties on equal footing and having a proper talk, that would just be kids ssing around, and everything would be easily settled—after all, Yan Fei is known as a boss, and Zeng, you also run a family business.
Now if both parties had a direct phone conversation, a few words would clarify everything.
I’m not saying you need to sound extrely sincere, but at least having an equal conversation isn’t that hard, right?
With your high-and-mighty attitude, who are you trying to impress?
If you had real intent to solve the problem, you shouldn’t have waited so long to make a call, not to ntion your haughty deanor; that’s hardly a problem-solving attitude!
Even though it was clearly Zeng’s son who was the troublemaker, listening to Zeng Zhaokun speak made it sound like so minor squabble between two primary school kids, where one of their parents ca over and said, “So-and-so, I heard you had a little dispute with my son?”
No one would be pleased to hear that.
Especially since Boss Yan is now quite a renowned entrepreneur in the city and your son, what even is he?
Is this supposed to be insulting?
Despite Yan Fei expressing his dissatisfaction, Boss Zeng on the other side seemingly didn’t notice at all and kept speaking his mind, “Damaged?
Ha, you’re joking, Boss Yan.
It’s not that serious, right?
Just a bit of paint off?
Tell you what, I own a repair shop.
Bring your car over in the afternoon, and I’ll have it fixed for you.
How does that sound?”
“Not very good,” Yan Fei casually replied.
“My car needs to go to Provincial City for repairs.
I’ll let you know how much it costs afterward.
That’s all; I have other things to do.
Hanging up now.”
After hanging up, Yan Fei still felt annoyed and said to Chairman Dong, who looked puzzled, “That was Zeng Zhaokun’s call.
He said his son had a dispute with and asked to send my car to his repair shop.
I refused.”
Chairman Dong didn’t say a word, but Director Liu nearby chuckled, “That’s not bad.
Boss Zeng probably felt that making a call to you was giving you quite an honor.
He does indeed own a repair shop, but that repair shop…”
Old Liu paused before continuing, “Let’s put it this way; my car belongs to the office, and I don’t have to spend my own money on repairs, but I wouldn’t dare take it to his shop.
For one, I’m fearful that putting it on the reimbursent forms might lead people to accuse of corruption.
Secondly, I’m also worried I might be able to drive there but won’t be able to drive back.”
That was quite a harsh statent, so Old Liu spoke softly.
However, Chairman Dong and the two others beside him understood and started to laugh.
This gave Yan Fei a bit of an insight—it seems that Boss Zeng might not be running a legitimate business!
Yan Fei’s guesses were not wrong.
During lunch, Old Liu told him more about why Boss Zeng was quite famous, although Yan Fei had never t him.
Children without mothers tend to have long stories, and telling the story of Boss Zeng would take quite a while.
However, since everyone had to attend to things in the afternoon, and they couldn’t drink much at noon, Old Liu shared a bit more detail with Boss Yan.
Boss Zeng’s grandfather’s generation had made so notable contributions, but his father’s generation had not done so well.
By the ti it ca to his and his brother’s generation—Boss Zeng’s generation—they were doing fairly well.
Boss Zeng’s elder brother currently holds a modest position in Provincial City.
Boss Zeng himself dabbles in everything, mainly engaged in the entertainnt service industry, handling everything from dance halls, disco clubs, karaoke rooms, to even construction materials—mostly operating sand fields.
With the economy booming in recent years, Boss Zeng’s value had rapidly increased, and his ‘business range’ had expanded even further.
But the kind of things he was involved in, well, those who know, know; those who don’t, just don’t.
After all, in the nurous tea parties, big and small, that Yan Fei had attended in the city, he had never seen Boss Zeng.
Lastly, because Yan Fei had ntioned that his phone conversation with Boss Zeng had been unpleasant, Old Liu kindly reminded him to be cautious, among other things.
After finishing their al, the group continued their judging duties.
Chairman Dong and other officials sent from the city were very cheerful—the event was well into its second day, and the Yellow Cattle Festival’s venue was bustling with people, with no sign of decreasing attendance.
The fact that there were plenty of people was not surprising, considering the multitude of entertainnt programs available and the farrs not being too busy around that ti.
However, having several business deals in the works was indeed a true and visible achievent that everyone could recognize.
