Chapter 106: Is this meeting a living Buddha?

Lin Jiang drove to Yuehai City.

This is also a high-end residential area of ​​China Overseas. Although its grade is not as high as that of Triumph of the Last Century, it is also a well-known wealthy area that is beyond the reach of ordinary people.

After finding a parking space outside and parking the car, the two went to Room 1702 in Building F.

The area of ​​the house is about 200 square meters, and the decoration style is simple and fashionable. With a decoration budget of more than 400 million, the effect of the house is more than 600 million.

I have to say that Liang Shuhe's level is very good.

[The Vanguard Officer appears, please be on guard]

Ok?
The sudden appearance of the game prompt made Lin Jiang stop and his expression became cautious.

In the game, characters like Vanguard Officers are similar to elite monsters, but their functionality is different.

His appearance indicates that a new Boss will also appear.

The two of them entered the house one after another.

The atmosphere in the living room was a bit depressing. A middle-aged man with wrinkles around his eyes stood awkwardly in the living room.

There were broken pieces of porcelain on the floor. A man in a short-sleeved shirt and jeans was sitting on the sofa. He had a calm expression and was flipping through his cell phone.

Lin Jiang looked around.

There were only two strangers in the room.

One is the installer from Daoyi Design, and the other is the homeowner.

On the way here, Liang Shuhe introduced the basic situation of this family.

The man in front of him is called Liu Hongquan. He has been the liaison between him and Liang Shuhe for a long time.

Judging from the way he's dressed, he doesn't look like someone who can afford a mansion worth tens of millions.

But don't judge a book by its cover. Judging a person from this perspective would be one-sided.

Instinctively, Lin Jiang thought that the so-called pioneer officer should have nothing to do with the installation master. After all, he was now a member of his group.

The only possibility is this person named Liu Hongquan.

[Vanguard Officer: Liu Hongquan]

[Killing conditions: Defeat it in a confrontation state]

[Kill reward: 50 million cash]

This killing condition...

In this situation, a fight seems unlikely.

Then the way to defeat him may be unconventional.

But no matter what, I have to take him down today.

"Director Liang."

The installation master walked over quickly. At this time, the only one who could help him was Liang Shuhe.

"Don't worry, let me understand the situation first."

After saying a word of comfort, Liang Shuhe walked up to Liu Hongquan and looked at the broken porcelain on the ground.

"Mr. Liu, is this the broken porcelain?"

Liu Hongquan put down his phone and nodded:
"This is a blue and white porcelain vase in my collection. I spent 36 yuan on it. Your workers broke it before I even put it on display. Take a look at it. Do you have to give me an explanation?"

"This bottle is so expensive?" Liang Shuhe was secretly surprised.

"This is a bottle from the Qing Dynasty. It cost 36 yuan when I bought it. It's worth at least 50 yuan now."

As he spoke, Liu Hongquan stood up, went into the bedroom, and took out a small red box.

"This is the purchase certificate and the identification certificate. Take a look."

Liang Shuhe took the thing from Liu Hongquan and looked at it carefully.

It is indeed a blue and white porcelain vase worth 36 yuan, which can be considered an antique.

"If I ask you to pay 50 yuan, it would seem that I am being unkind. Just pay the original price."

Faced with this situation, Liang Shuhe was also in a difficult position.

If it's something worth tens of thousands of dollars, I can deduct some of his salary and pay a little more myself, and the matter will be over.

But something worth more than 30 yuan is not a small amount of money. Even the electrician cannot afford to pay for it, and the company is unlikely to pay for it.

Things are more difficult than you imagined.

"Master Zhang, how did you do it? Tell me what happened." Liang Shuhe asked.

"I was installing a switch in the living room. When I turned around, Mr. Liu happened to pass by me with the bottle in his hand. I accidentally bumped into him and the bottle fell to the ground and broke."

While speaking, the electrician kept gesturing, trying to recreate the actions at that time.

Liang Shuhe also tried to recreate the scene in his mind.

"Director Liang, I really didn't mean it. I didn't expect him to appear behind me."

The installation master looked at Liang Shuhe aggrievedly, hoping that she could help him out.

Lin Jiang could understand his feelings. Such an expensive item was definitely not something a working-class person like him could afford.

"Master Zhang, please don't speak yet."

Liang Shuhe frowned slightly, trying to find a solution.

According to his description, Liu Hongquan appeared behind him, and the two of them bumped into each other without knowing it.

From this perspective, Liu Hongquan should also bear some responsibility.

But that may only be part of the reason, the main responsibility still lies with Master Zhang.

Even if it was 37% liability, he would have to pay more than 20 yuan, which was more than he could afford.

"Mr. Liu, I understand what happened, and I admit that the main responsibility lies with Master Zhang, but he didn't do it on purpose. He didn't know you were behind him at the time, so..."

Liang Shuhe paused and smiled:

"Look at the responsibility aspect, can't we blame him entirely?"

Liang Shuhe tried to shirk responsibility and strive to minimize the compensation.

"You can't blame him entirely? Can you blame me?" Liu Hongquan said with a bad face:

"I warned you when I passed by. He was not serious about his work and bumped into me when he turned around. What does it have to do with me?"

Liang Shuhe looked at the installation master.

"Master Zhang, did you hear the reminder at that time?"

The installation master had a sad face.

"I did hear it, but at that time, he was still some distance away from me, so I didn't take it seriously. Unexpectedly, as soon as I turned around, he came over."

"This……"

Liang Shuhe was a little confused. The more they talked about this matter, the more confusing it became. The husband said he was right, and the wife said she was right.

"Mr. Liu, how about this?"

Liang Shuhe readjusted his tone and state.

"It's too embarrassing for me to ask you to let it go for such a valuable item. Otherwise, call the police and let them handle it. If that doesn't work, sue them and go through the legal process. We are a professional design company, and we will definitely give you an explanation if something like this happens."

In Liang Shuhe's opinion, this is the only way to solve the problem, letting the police determine the responsibility, otherwise it will be difficult to find a reasonable solution.

"Director Liang, you can't call the police. See if we can settle this matter privately. There's no need to go through legal procedures," the installation master advised.

Ordinary people have awe for the police and the law.

No one is willing to go to this step unless it is absolutely necessary.

He was also very clear that the police would not care so much when handling this matter, and might even put all the blame on him.

It would be better to try now and possibly lose less.

"The property is worth more than 30 yuan. How can this matter be settled privately? Are we not asking the owner to pursue responsibility?" Liang Shuhe said:
"And there must be a clear division of responsibilities between the two sides, otherwise the stalemate will continue and we won't have to do anything."

"This……"

The installation master's expression was devastated. Three hundred thousand was an astronomical figure for him, enough to overwhelm him.

He himself understood this principle. What he broke was porcelain, not someone else's car scratched, and he could just pay a few hundred dollars as compensation.

Such an expensive item cannot be settled privately. "Director Liang, calm down first. We have known each other for a long time. I don't want to ruin our relationship because of such a small matter." Liu Hongquan said:
"If you want to settle it privately, that's fine. I won't bother you too much. 30 yuan is enough to avoid disaster."

Hearing the number 30, Liang Shuhe's brows furrowed even deeper.

"I know the situation of Master Zhang's family. They are not from here. They came to Zhonghai to work. Even if it is 30, he can't afford to pay."

Liang Shuhe said sincerely, "Besides, I don't think that this matter can be blamed entirely on Master Zhang. Can you just be kind and take care of us and pay less?"

Liu Hongquan looked embarrassed and sighed helplessly.

"Okay, we've known each other for such a long time, and since you asked, I have to give you this little bit of face. 20, I'll consider myself unlucky."

Liang Shuhe was delighted when he heard the number 20.

Although it is not a small amount, it is a relatively ideal compensation amount, which is a 70% split of liability. Even if you call the police and sue, the best result may be this.

"Director Liang..."

The installation master hesitated to speak. For him, 20 was not a small amount of money.

"The main responsibility lies with us, and this is good enough."

There are some things Liang Shuhe didn't say now.

Daoyi Design is a professional design company that has signed formal contracts with every worker.

When something like this happens, both the company and himself have to bear part of the responsibility, so this way, he won't have to pay so much.

And there is only so much I can do.

"Or call the police."

"Call the police?"

Lin Jiang's words attracted Liang Shuhe's attention.

I found him squatting on the ground, holding a piece of porcelain fragment in his hand, looking at it over and over again.

"You suggest I call the police?"

Lin Jiang nodded, "I think it's better to take legal action for this kind of thing. Signing a responsibility determination letter will be good for everyone."

"This……"

Liang Shuhe didn't want to call the police. She was afraid that after the responsibility was determined, she would have to bear more responsibility, which would be counterproductive.

Liang Shuhe quietly pulled Lin Jiang aside and whispered:
"Why call the police? Do you think we are less responsible?"

"Well, I'll take care of anything. Just do as I say."

Lin Jiang nodded, still holding the broken porcelain piece in his hand, and looking at it carefully.

"No matter what, it's not your turn to take responsibility for this."

Liang Shuhe gathered her hair and looked at Liu Hongquan.

"Mr. Liu, why don't you call the police? With such a large sum of money, it's better to let the authorities intervene."

Liu Hongquan glanced at Lin Jiang with an unfriendly expression.

"It's not necessary to call the police for such a small matter. My time is limited. I have to catch a flight soon and I don't have the energy to deal with these things. If it really doesn't work, just 55% responsibility and pay me half. 18 will be enough."

Liang Shuhe was happy to see Liu Hongquan take another step back, as this way he would have to pay less.

Even the installation master thought that this figure was acceptable. Although it was a lot of money, he had to admit his mistake.

Liang Shuhe looked at Lin Jiang out of habit.

I found that he was still looking at the broken porcelain pieces and shaking his head.

"Listen to me and call the police."

This time, Liang Shuhe noticed the change in Lin Jiang's tone, which seemed to be more determined than before.

"Director Liang, who is this person and why is he talking nonsense here?" Liu Hongquan said impatiently.

Liang Shuhe gathered his hair and explained, "He is my friend, and he came to help me with this matter."

"Since he has nothing to do with this matter, don't let him get involved. If you really can't help it, ask him to go out and wait for a while. I'm a little annoyed with him."

It was not until this time that Lin Jiang slowly put down the broken porcelain pieces in his hand.

"Are you sure you want compensation? There's nothing left?"

"Are you kidding me? You broke my antique porcelain vase and you want me to let you off the hook?"

Liu Hongquan pointed at Lin Jiang's nose and said:

"This matter has nothing to do with you, stop talking nonsense here, this is my home, get out now, I don't want to see you."

"Calm down, don't get excited."

Lin Jiang looked at Liu Hongquan and said, "I just want to ask, is it okay not to pay?"

"Are you kidding? I've already taken half of the responsibility, and you actually say you don't want to pay? Aren't you asking for too much?" Liu Hongquan raised his voice and pointed at Lin Jiang and said:
"I'm telling you, this is none of your business. Don't get involved. Get out of here!"

"That is to say, you must have this money." Lin Jiang was not angry and said slowly.

"Boy, stop making trouble here, or I'll beat you up."

"I told you not to get excited. You just want compensation. I'll pay for it."

Liang Shuhe and the installation master were both very surprised. No one expected Lin Jiang to come forward and pay the money.

This matter has nothing to do with him.

Liu Hongquan's attitude changed, and the look in his eyes when he looked at Lin Jiang became much softer, and he kept looking at him.

"If you can pay me, give me the money now."

"Okay, 18, right? I'll transfer it to you later."

Lin Jiang looked at Liang Shuhe, "There should be paper and pen in the bag, go write a receipt, and after paying the money, have him and Master Zhang sign it."

Liang Shuhe knew this process, and it could be used as proof of compensation to prevent Liu Hongquan from cheating.

But she couldn't understand why Lin Jiang did this.

"Just do as I say."

If someone else said this, Liang Shuhe might not listen, but since Lin Jiang spoke up, things were naturally different.

He really has this ability!
The installation master stood by in confusion. Did he meet a living Buddha today?
Taking out a pen and paper from his bag, Liang Shuhe wrote a compensation settlement agreement.

As she has been dealing with contracts for many years, it is not difficult for her to write such things. Even ink pad is something she always keeps in her bag.

The time, place, events, people involved and amount of compensation are all clearly written.

After finishing writing, Liang Shuhe showed it to Lin Jiang, who then gave it to Liu Hongquan.

"Take a look at it. If everything is ok, I will transfer the money to you. Then you sign and put your fingerprint on it."

Liu Hongquan read the compensation agreement carefully and found no problems. He said:

"no problem."

At this time, Liang Shuhe had finished writing the second copy.

This kind of thing is made in duplicate, and each party keeps its own copy afterwards. It is definitely not okay to just write one copy.

"Give me an account number and I'll transfer the money to you now."

Liu Hongquan found the photo of the bank card on his mobile phone, and Lin Jiang transferred 18 yuan to him according to the card number.

"Why didn't you tell me earlier that you could pay me back? I wouldn't have to waste my breath on them."

"Sign and put your fingerprints first."

Liu Hongquan took the pen, signed his name on it, and pressed his fingerprint.

Lin Jiang called out, "Master Zhang, come over here and sign and put your fingerprints on it."

"Thank you, young man. I still have some money at home. I'll ask my wife to transfer it to you later."

"There's no rush for this. Come over here and sign first."

"Good good."

The installation master took a pen, signed the compensation settlement agreement, and pressed his fingerprints.

Looking at the compensation settlement agreement, Lin Jiang said without raising his head:

"Call the police."
