In the evening, the emergency room of Old City Community Hospital was busy with people coming in and out.
"... No, officer, how can I be solely responsible for this? I was driving normally, and he hit me from behind. He rear-ended me!"
"...Road surveillance video? I didn't turn on the turn signal? There must be some misunderstanding here, really...Officer, please have a cigarette, let's talk, and we'll talk..."
On the bench in the outer corridor, Tang Chao raised his left hand that had been processed and wrapped in thick gauze into a fat bear's paw, moved his body to a more comfortable sitting position, opened his mouth and yawned in boredom, beside him was a medical record sheet.
And some plastic bags for medicines.
In a corner not far away, the middle-aged driver who caused the accident was negotiating urgently with two traffic policemen. Sometimes he clasped his hands, sometimes nodded and bowed, and kept raising his hands to wipe his forehead while talking. Although he looked embarrassed, he was quite sincere.
But about a quarter of an hour ago, this person's attitude was not like this. He was sarcastic and chattering, and he didn't take it seriously even if he was found to be fully responsible. He had a heroic attitude as if he had to pay for the motorcycle.
After Tang Chao had taken care of his injury, he silently took out his mobile phone and called up the customs declaration form and other photos and documents that Zhong Wanqing had given him as a gift to the imported Harley-Davidson before. He handed it to the traffic policeman, who looked at it and handed it to him with a slightly complicated expression.
In the latter case, the situation has evolved into what it is now...
At this moment, "Xiao Tang!"
"Huh?" Tang Chao was startled when he heard the sound. He turned around subconsciously and saw a familiar figure appearing at the end of the corridor. He couldn't help but be stunned. He came to his senses and quickly stood up to respond, "Auntie, I'm here."
The visitor is Xie Wei, and her appearance here is of course the result of a phone call. But Tang Chao originally thought that the other party would ask Xie Jianping, or send someone else to come and visit. After all, the other party is really troubled with things now.
I was very busy, but I never thought that the other party would actually come here in person. Looking at the formal professional attire, it was obvious that he rushed from the company as soon as he received the call!
For a moment, while being moved, Tang Chao couldn't help but feel a little uneasy in his heart. Afterwards, he secretly thought about whether his sudden idea this time was a little bit wild.
Xie Wei, who was approaching quickly, naturally didn't know someone's complicated thoughts. When she came to the front, she looked up and down several times to make sure that no parts were missing from the whole beard and tail. She breathed a slight sigh of relief, and then her eyes fell on Tang
There was a white bear paw on Chao's left arm, and he frowned: "How do you feel? Is the injury serious? What did the doctor say?"
"Well, it's not serious. It's not a big deal, it's been taken care of."
...How should I put it? In order to achieve an ulterior purpose, someone had the idea of pretending to exaggerate the hurt. But now, looking at the concerned eyes in front of him, which can clearly see the meaning of fatigue, he is a little bit
Too weak...
But even after saying this, Xie Wei still stretched out her hand: "Has the film been taken? Here is the medical record. Let me take a look."
"It's really nothing, just some soft tissue contusion, slight joint dislocation, and a few minor abrasions... Okay, here you go."
After taking the medical record and the examination report, Xie Wei took out her cell phone and took a few photos without knowing who to send them to. After a few minutes, her cell phone rang. She walked away and answered the call: "
Hello, Director Zhang, I'm sorry to trouble you so late at night..."
Okay, don’t listen, they must be confirming the condition and treatment plan. There is nothing wrong with it, but it takes a chief physician to treat a minor injury remotely... Well, this is very Xie Wei!
After answering the phone, it can be seen that Xie Wei's expression was obviously much more relaxed, "There is generally no problem. It is best to rest for one to three weeks and be careful not to touch the water. There is also dislocation of the elbow joint. I know an old Chinese medicine practitioner in this field.
We'll go over and check again later..."
"It's really not necessary. The doctor here has already restored my position. If you don't believe it, look at it." The white bear's paw was lifted up, put down, lifted up again, and put down again, just like a lucky cat.
The soft tissue contusions and abrasions on the medical record are minor problems, not even problems. The only thing that can be called a trouble may be elbow joint dislocation, also commonly known as dislocation.
This injury is actually not serious. There is nothing we can do. Tang Chao wanted to make it more serious and realistic, such as a broken bone or something, and the effect would be very good. But isn't it better to be afraid of going too far? Just think about it...
...It's a good thing we didn't do that, otherwise someone would have to wave their hands to prove that they were fine.
"Okay, I believe it, don't move." Xie Wei nodded when she saw this and did not insist anymore.
Seeing that the time was ripe, Tang Chao took advantage of it and shook his head pretending to be relaxed: "It's really unfortunate that this happened, and it's my fault too. Auntie, please refund my ticket after you go back. I'll take this trip."
Come or go..."
Hearing this, Xie Wei looked at someone's plump bear paw again, frowned, and then shook her head slightly: "Let's not talk about this for now. I didn't ask clearly on the phone before, what is going on? And the person who hit you.
Woolen cloth……"
Before he finished speaking, "You are the elder of this boy, right? You came just in time!"
It was the middle-aged driver, striding over, with an angry demeanor, but quite a bit of momentum. He came up and scolded him forcefully, "How do you usually teach him? At such a young age, what is not good for him to learn? Just like others riding.
Motorcycle? Still on the road? Isn’t this irresponsible for one’s own life and the lives of others? Look, something has happened now..."
Xie Wei kept her expression calm after hearing this. She calmly turned her head to look at the middle-aged driver, and then noticed the two traffic policemen not far away. Tang Chao didn't need any further introduction, and she immediately understood the identity of this person. Without saying anything, she turned directly to the traffic police station to ask about the specific situation.
.
On the side, looking at the middle-aged driver who was stunned on the spot, Tang Chao couldn't help but raise his hand to his forehead.
In fact, it is not difficult to understand the words and deeds of this scapegoat. It is nothing more than poor communication with the traffic police. Seeing that the full responsibility cannot be escaped, he simply chose to preemptively control the situation and scare people, so as to gain privacy later.
When you get the program, you have more room for bargaining... It's really embarrassing, but on the other hand, it's also quite interesting. It's filled with the shrewd calculation knowledge of small citizens.
I have to say that the other party had a really good idea, but they obviously chose the wrong person to show off their power. How could Xie Wei... how could he fall for this trick?
On the contrary, what does seeking death mean? This is a typical case!
To be honest, if the other party's attitude could be better, Tang Chao would not be able to make the other party lose less. This is not because he feels guilty. Although there was an element of his deliberate cooperation in this accident, the other party's awareness of traffic laws and dangers
It is not an exaggeration to say that you are to blame for your driving habits.
It's just that Tang Chao doesn't have time to pay attention to these trivial matters now. He only wants an escape result, so as long as the other party can correct his attitude, this matter will most likely be over. However, as long as the other party can't die, he will do it and plot against him.
Now Xie Wei is also involved in the scheme. How can it end well like this?
Sure enough, subsequent developments confirmed Tang Chao's speculation. After learning the cause and effect of the accident from the traffic police, Xie Wei's expression remained unchanged, but Tang Chao, who was familiar with the latter's temperament, could tell that she was a little angry. He left his business card and said on the spot
I contacted a lawyer to handle the matter on my behalf, followed the procedures, and then took Tang Chao away without saying a word to the middle-aged driver.
…
It was Xie Wei who drove the car back home. This was an emergency and the full-time driver, Brother Liang, had already left work.
There was no words all the way, but when approaching Jiang Yue Mansion, Xie Wei suddenly asked: "I heard from Tangdou that the piano store is doing well now, and sometimes you also deliver goods to customers' doors?"
Tang Chao was slightly startled when he heard this. He couldn't understand the intention of the question for a moment, so he replied casually: "Yes, but this is rare. I usually buy it in the store."
Oh, Xie Wei nodded thoughtfully, and then wrote lightly: "Since there is such a need, let's equip the piano store with a truck. I happen to have a few idle ones. Come over and drive away after you recover, so that you can do more work in the future.
"
"..."
If you provide a car to a piano store, doesn't that mean you provide a car to me? Why don't you just say give me a car...
Oh, it's not that simple. I should have considered my psychology, self-esteem, etc., so I chose to talk about the piano store. This is justifiable. After all, the other party is also the major shareholder of the piano store in name...
Going in a big circle, you must have good intentions!
Instantly pondering the meaning inside, Tang Chao couldn't help but feel a different emotion in his heart. It has to be said that this kind of caring feeling from his elders is really a bit strange and a bit warm to him who has been orphaned for two generations and has no relatives.
.
He blinked, seemed to think about it seriously, and then shook his head and calculated the small amount: "Let's forget it, it's too troublesome, and driving consumes fuel and requires maintenance. It may not be cost-effective to have intra-city express delivery."
After finishing speaking, Xie Wei turned around to look at her, pursed her lips, and wanted to say something, but in the end she didn't speak and looked away.
The topic ended here, and the car fell into silence again.
Soon, the car drove into Jiangyue Mansion and arrived at the downstairs of the apartment.
After explaining some precautions such as not touching the wound with water, Xie Wei thought of something and said: "As for Tangdou, I'll call her first tomorrow morning, and then you guys can talk."
"Okay, I understand." Because of the time difference, Tang Chao had only contacted Xie Wei before, and had not had time to inform the little girl in Los Angeles. But this must be passed, and Xie Wei would come to comfort him first.
The little girl won't be too nervous after learning about the situation.
"That's it, you go to bed early and tell me if you need anything."
"Yeah, so are you, auntie. Drive slower on the way back."
Under the street lights, he watched Xie Wei drive away until he turned the corner and disappeared. Tang Chao looked away, shook his head, and slowly calmed down the strange feeling in his heart.
Okay, now that the travel problem is solved, you can consider this errand trip to Australia...
I hope it will be interesting to put in so much effort...
