Super Rich by Doing as You Please

Chapter 73: Chapter 73: Manager Jiang, How About You Consider Me Too?

「At the police station.」

Seeing that Zhao Xianhong couldn’t produce any evidence, the police officer said, ”Alright, Lawyer Liu, we have a basic understanding of the situation. Thank you for your cooperation. You’re free to go.”

”Of course.”

”Wait, officer! You can’t just close the case like this,” Zhao Xianhong said, unconvinced.

The officer turned to him and said, ”Mr. Zhao, you heard her. Things aren’t as you imagine. Everything requires evidence, which you can’t provide.”

On the other hand, everything they said was perfectly reasonable. You should stop making a scene here; we’re very busy.”

”This matter is closed. If you’re still not satisfied, you can hire your own lawyer and sue him in court.”

Zhao Xianhong: ”...”

Xu Yun had been sitting on the side the whole time, letting Liu Limin handle everything as if it had nothing to do with him.

He hadn’t said a single word.

It was as if the whole affair was completely unrelated to him.

’Damn, this is the world of the rich.’

It was the first time he had truly experienced how awesome it was to have his own legal counsel.

Xu Yun suddenly stood up and asked, ”Lawyer Liu, if I wanted to sue him right now for intentional slander and demand compensation for my damages, could I?”

”Of course you can.”

Liu Limin replied professionally, ”His baseless accusations have caused you tangible mental distress, which could potentially lead to insomnia. You are well within your rights to file a lawsuit.”

”Mr. Xu, if you’re willing, I can start preparing the materials and file a suit with the court as soon as I get back.”

Zhao Xianhong: ”...”

The police officer looked at him with a hint of pity. Now the tables had turned, and he was about to become the defendant.

”Alright, I understand.”

Xu Yun walked up to Zhao Xianhong and said with a smile, ”Ex-husband, I’ll give you one chance. Apologize to me now, and maybe I won’t sue you.”

”Sue me then! You think I’m afraid of you?”

”Good. Cocky enough!”

Xu Yun laughed. ”You’re the second person I’ve met who’s this cocky, after my ex-girlfriend. I hope you don’t regret it.”

Zhao Xianhong: ”...”

...

After they left the police station, Liu Limin finally said, ”Mr. Xu, to be honest, it would be very difficult to get a result if you actually sue him over this.”

”It’s fine.”

Xu Yun said casually, ”I’m not expecting any particular outcome. I just want to screw with him.”

”When you get back, just mention this to Lawyer Luo and let him handle it however he sees fit. If there are any extra fees, just let me know.”

”Yes, Mr. Xu.”

Liu Limin understood the nature of these wealthy individuals. Sometimes it wasn’t about the money at all, but about pride.

She nodded. ”If there’s nothing else, I’ll be heading back now.”

”Right. Thanks for your hard work.”

After the delay at the police station, Xu Yun rushed over to the anniversary celebration for Jiang Peiyao’s store. By the time he arrived, a crowd had already formed around the stage.

His timing was just right.

Song Xiaowei, the event’s host, had arrived a while ago and was already prepared.

Seeing Xu Yun arrive, Jiang Peiyao checked the time and announced the official start of the anniversary celebration.

Although Song Xiaowei had hosted shows and live events at school before, this was her first hosting gig since graduating.

She took a deep breath, script in hand, and began her opening speech on stage.

Xu Yun and Jiang Peiyao watched from the side.

Song Xiaowei could be a bit proud and difficult, but today, dressed in an evening gown and adorned with jewelry provided by Chow Taifook, she was truly, breathtakingly beautiful.

If Xu Yun had to use one word to describe her, he felt she was like a canary.

A woman like that, despite her difficult and proud personality, would certainly be easy on the eyes if you could keep her around.

Jiang Peiyao couldn’t help but smile and ask, ”Xu Yun, where did you find such a beautiful host?”

”The company found her.”

Xu Yun replied, ”You guys got lucky. Regardless of her skills, just having her stand there is enough to draw a crowd.”

”That’s very true.”

Jiang Peiyao glanced at the many men gathering around and teased with a smile, ”What about you? Not tempted? It’s a golden opportunity, being so close.”

”No matter how beautiful she is, she’s not as good as Manager Jiang.”

Xu Yun smiled back. ”Manager Jiang, why don’t you consider me instead?”

”Oh, stop joking with me.”

Hearing this, Jiang Peiyao’s heart skipped a beat for some reason. She gave a slightly awkward smile. ”You’re not lacking for women like me. That Miss Li we met from the sales department last time is much better than I am.”

”Everyone is different, just like every flower is different. You can’t compare them like that. Each has its own beauty.”

Xu Yun replied, ”Manager Jiang, you shouldn’t underestimate your own charm.”

Jiang Peiyao: ”...”

The event was running smoothly at first, but halfway through, something unexpected happened.

Faced with the unforeseen event, the novice host Song Xiaowei immediately panicked, unsure of how to handle it.

Seeing this, Xu Yun quickly got a microphone from someone and went up to save the situation.

Watching Xu Yun gradually take control of the stage, Jiang Peiyao breathed a sigh of relief, feeling even more astonished inside.

He was rich and so capable. A feeling of admiration couldn’t help but rise in her heart once more.

As for Song Xiaowei, the one at the center of the mishap, she watched Xu Yun save the day and re-engage the crowd, and she too felt a small shock of amazement.

After the morning’s activities concluded, Song Xiaowei took the initiative to approach Xu Yun for the first time. ”Thank you for what you did just now,” she said. ”Otherwise, I would have ruined the event.”

”It’s nothing. Just host more events like this, and you’ll get the experience.”

At noon, everyone had lunch together.

Xu Yun received a call from the 4S dealership. The person from the insurance company said that the damage assessment for the car was complete, and they needed him to come take a look and sign off on it if he had no objections.

So, while Xu Yun was in the restroom, Jiang Peiyao asked Song Xiaowei with some confusion, ”Did Xu Yun’s car get into an accident when you were heading back yesterday?”

”Ah, I don’t know.”

Song Xiaowei replied, ”I went back by myself yesterday.”

”Oh. I wonder how bad the damage is. A car like his must be expensive to fix.”

”His car?”

Song Xiaowei picked up on the key phrase and asked, ”Manager Jiang, are you saying that sports car from yesterday was Xu Yun’s own car?”

”Yes,” Jiang Peiyao replied. ”If it wasn’t his, whose would it be?”

Song Xiaowei: ”...”

’Isn’t that Manager Su’s car?’

When Xu Yun returned, Song Xiaowei’s mind was filled with doubt.

She rode with him to the dealership’s service department and saw the red sports car she had been in just yesterday.

The crash had been really bad.

According to the insurance agent’s damage assessment, the repairs for the other car, plus his own, would total around 520,000 yuan.

Hearing such a high repair cost, Song Xiaowei was secretly astounded.

That was enough money to buy a whole new luxury car.

After all, in the eyes of most ordinary people, any car that cost more than 500,000 yuan was considered a luxury car!
