Wu Rui couldn’t sit still anymore. First, she instructed her subordinates to cooperate with the tax and business departnts where necessary, and then she communicated with the lawyer, hoping to buy so ti.
All this was manageable, as long as the root cause was resolved, they wouldn’t bother them anymore.
When she reached the vice-president’s office at Jingfu, Wu Rui carefully explained the situation to Yu Jifeng, then earnestly pleaded, "Mr. Yu, how about this? I will refund three tis the money to Miss Shi and the others, and also offer them a lifeti free mbership card. Can we leave it at that?"
Seeing that Yu Jifeng remained indifferent, Wu Rui leaned forward slightly, "I hope you won’t find this amusing. I’m 35 and have divorced my husband, with both elderly and young to care for, my entire family depends on alone..."
"Stop, stop."
Yu Jifeng waved his hand, "I have no idea about this Miss Shi or whatever, I think you might have co to the wrong person."
"Mr. Yu, I haven’t brought a recording device, and my phone isn’t recording either, you can rest assured. We’re just small business owners, how could we dare to even think about such things."
Wu Rui took out her phone, unlocked the screen, and laid it on the table, sincerely stating, "Mr. Yu, I really know I was wrong, please, don’t hold a grudge against soone insignificant like , forgive this ti."
"The one who tied the knot should untie it, coming to is useless in this case."
"Mr. Yu, are you implying...."
Wu Rui considered for a mont and then suddenly realized, "I understand, Mr. Yu, I’ll go apologize to Miss Shi and the others in person now, and you..."
"I will consult with my superiors," Yu Jifeng replied indifferently.
"There are superiors above?!"
Wu Rui gaped.
Yu Jifeng didn’t answer, but she understood that she had initially thought she had offended Mr. Yu, but there was an even higher authority involved.
I’m so stupid! Why bully those three female college students for a bit of small profit?
If they don’t agree to give a way out, then it’s all over.
"Well, Mr. Yu, let go apologize to Miss Shi and the others first."
Wu Rui dared not linger, fearing she wouldn’t sleep if the matter wasn’t resolved today.
She humbly found Shi Zhixuan and the others at the International campus, directly transferring five tis the money to Shi Zhixuan’s account.
She intended to transfer three tis, but given the situation, she feared even five tis might not quell the issue.
If they were still unsatisfied, she was prepared to add more money anyti.
Losing money is a minor issue, keeping one’s life intact is what’s important!
"Miss Shi, Miss Peng, Miss Aisha, I’m very sorry. I truly regret my actions and apologize for the harm I caused you in this matter. I’m sorry."
Wu Rui gave a solemn bow.
The three hadn’t yet grasped the situation. They looked at each other, trying to find reasons in one another’s eyes.
The contrast was stark... This morning, she was too proud to cooperate, and now she’s bowing and transferring five tis the money.
When Shi Zhixuan received the lawyer’s call, they thought such disputes wouldn’t be resolved quickly, so they prepared for the long haul. Unexpectedly, before evening, Wu Rui ca to apologize on her own accord.
Seeing no reaction from the three, Wu Rui added, "You can practice dancing whenever you want, I’ll definitely arrange everything for you, even from 7 to 9 PM is fine. I can arrange any studio for you."
Peang Yayun sneered, "Where would we dare to go now?"
"You can go if you want, I won’t force you if you don’t."
Wu Rui humbly continued, "Also, I’ll grant you lifeti free mbership cards, you can co whenever you want without any other implications. I just hope for your forgiveness. I will definitely change."
"I’m not afraid of your laughter. I’m 35, divorced, and have elderly and young to support... the entire family relies on alone..."
"Stop there."
Shi Zhixuan wasn’t buying it. She pulled Aisha and Peang Yayun aside and discussed in a deliberative tone, "It’s likely that Shen Yuan pressured her. Should we forgive her?"
Peang Yayun angrily replied, "Forgive her for what, people like her deserve to see their business collapsing!"
"Aisha, what do you think?" Shi Zhixuan looked at Aisha.
Aisha, with her cute little face, pondered a bit, "She refunded us five tis the money, which is enough for a month of practice."
Peang Yayun reluctantly looked at her, "She refunded us this ti because of Shen Yuan. See if she would refund anyone else."
"But, if we are too harsh, wouldn’t it be bad?" Aisha muttered, her face downcast.
Shi Zhixuan nodded, "I also think one should leave so leeway in doing things. What if she shuts down her business and seeks revenge? Who knows what soone without limits will do."
Peang Yayun sighed, "Fine, both of you voted not to pursue it, there’s no point in arguing further."
"The senior... seems a bit more impressive than I imagined," Aisha blinked her clear eyes and comnted.
Peang Yayun proudly puffed her chest, "Of course, otherwise, why are we working so hard at dancing? Just wait, good days are ahead."
Shi Zhixuan silently nodded. She suddenly realized that opening a dance studio might be a very easy task for Shen Yuan, with resources and energy far beyond their imagination.
Shi Zhixuan shared the decision with Wu Rui, who was moved to tears upon hearing it, as if a heavy burden were lifted off her, thanking repeatedly, and even inviting the three for dinner.
However, Shi Zhixuan and the others were eager to distance themselves from such a person, so there’s no way they would go for dinner with her.
As Wu Rui prepared to leave, the most timid Aisha suddenly mustered the courage to say, "If you do this again in the future, we won’t let it slide."
Wu Rui was montarily stunned, then nodded, "Rest assured, I will change."
Shi Zhixuan affectionately ruffled Aisha’s head, while Peang Yayun, after Wu Rui went far, crossed her arms and comnted, "A leopard never changes its spots, soone like her might change for a while, but never for good. Think about it, not everyone has soone to back them like us, if she encounters ordinary people, she’d certainly continue to exploit them."
Shi Zhixuan opened her mouth, but had nothing to say.
Humans are selfish, once their own matters are resolved, who cares about others?
....
Shen Yuan was swimming when he got a call from Yu Jifeng. He erged from the pool bare-bodied, letting the water drip onto the floor, casually wiping himself with a towel, and said:
"As long as Shi Zhixuan and the others are satisfied, it’s fine. I wasn’t planning on driving her to the brink. Even a cornered dog will jump over a wall; the main thing is for that woman to learn a lesson."
"Mr. Shen, you’re wise."
Yu Jifeng praised.
Shen Yuan chuckled, "Enough with the flattery, go get busy."
"Got it."
Not long after he hung up on Old Yu, Shen Yuan was about to wipe his wet hair when Shi Zhixuan called.
"Shen Yuan, thank you, that owner refunded us five tis the money and apologized with a bow."
"Are you still upset?"
"No, her attitude was quite sincere. We mainly called to thank you."
Sincerity in her voice, Shi Zhixuan thanked him, Shen Yuan responded with a laugh, "Verbal thanks are too thin, show it with so action. I’ve heard you guys are rehearsing a dance, you can co perform for when you have ti."
On the other end, Shi Zhixuan paused and then covered the receiver, turning to her two friends in the dance group, "Shen Yuan said he wants to see us dance."
"Well, why are you hesitating? Hurry up and say yes!"
Peang Yayun urged, after all, they practice dancing daily intending to have frequent interactions with Shen Yuan.
Aisha recalled the scene at Green Bamboo Lake that night, her cheeks reddened, thinking about whether the senior would take liberties again this ti.
"But we’re not ready yet, we need more practice." Shi Zhixuan voiced concern, being a perfectionist wanting everything to be the best before showing it.
Fearing the opportunity might slip away, Peang Yayun promptly suggested, "Then just agree first and say we need two more days to practice before going over."
Shi Zhixuan took a deep breath, released the receiver, and said, "Sure, but our dancing isn’t perfect yet, so can we practice for two more days before coming over?"
"No problem, coincidentally, I’m busy tonight as well, so we can check back in a few days."
Shen Yuan added suddenly, "By the way, you guys aren’t having your periods these days, are you?"
"Huh?"
Shi Zhixuan didn’t expect such a sudden question.
"Tell her I’m not,"
Peang Yayun smirked, Shen Yuan never asked aningless questions, making his intention clear.
She showed no signs of fear, especially since she had already half acquiesced to Shen Yuan at the startup base office last ti.
But Shi Zhixuan and Aisha were still naive chicks, pondering what interesting things might happen this ti.
