The antique city was still being renovated, and Zhou Zichen only took a look occasionally. Anyway, everything was under plan, so he couldn't help much. He had to wait until it was officially opened.
But there was a call from Tong Mengya. She had already asked for leave. She was coming over today and asked Zhou Zichen to pick it up.
Zhou Zichen drove his newly repaired car and headed straight to the airport at the best possible time.
However, Zhou Zichen waited at the exit for more than ten minutes. Everyone had left and Tong Mengya was not seen coming out.
Zhou Zichen made several calls but couldn't get through, so he had to ask the airport staff. In the end, the staff helped to investigate and found out that Tong Mengya had some friction with someone on the plane. The two parties went to the airport office to discuss and resolve the issue.
A solution has been found, and there are people at the airport helping to adjust it.
When Zhou Zichen rushed to the office, he saw a woman wearing a mink coat and a big diamond ring on her finger. She said angrily: "I won't finish this matter until I give you a satisfactory explanation. I will always say that this woman is everywhere."
It doesn’t make sense. If you can’t afford the compensation, just say it and I can ask you to pay less. If you don’t admit it, why don’t you want to refuse the compensation?”
Tong Mengya was almost in tears when she was told that, but she still raised her head stubbornly: "You knocked over the coffee yourself. If it was really me who accidentally spilled it, I will pay you any amount."
Zhou Zichen walked over. The airport staff was about to come over and ask Zhou Zichen to go out. Zhou Zichen pointed at Tong Mengya: "I am her friend."
"Sorry!" the airport staff apologized and moved out of the way.
When Tong Mengya saw Zhou Zichen coming in, she walked over aggrievedly and hugged Zhou Zichen's wrist: "Zi Chen!"
"What's wrong?" Zhou Zichen asked, patting Tong Mengya's back gently.
Tong Mengya couldn't help but shed tears: "On the plane, I asked the stewardess to bring me a glass of orange juice, and the eldest sister accidentally bumped the glass, and all the orange juice spilled on her hand. She insisted that I spilled it.
"
The luxuriously dressed woman was immediately dissatisfied: "Hey... you think you can just say whatever you want if you find a pretty boy to support you? Let me tell you, you spilled it yourself. I have to find someone to wash my clothes and my watch."
You know how it is, but it’s not certain whether it can be repaired. Besides, if some things are repaired, they will definitely not work. You have to compensate me according to the original price, and I won’t take advantage of you. I can sell this old watch to you.”
Zhou Zichen hugged Tong Mengya and said to the woman: "Madam, do you know what to call me?"
Zhou Zichen's attitude in speaking was still very good, which gave the woman a certain degree of vanity satisfaction: "My surname is Zhu, and my last name is Hui. I think you are relatively smart. You have two hundred clothes, so I will take care of it."
Okay, the watch is from Longines. The original price is 39,000. You can check it on the official website and just pay me. If you don’t pay, it won’t end.”
Zhou Zichen smiled and nodded: "Ms. Zhu, if it is our responsibility, we will certainly have to pay compensation. Can you show me your watch?"
Zhu Hui's face immediately dropped: "What do you mean?"
Zhou Zichen said: "It's not easy for us to make money here. If you have money, it might be easy to buy a watch worth 30,000 to 40,000 yuan. It's several months' salary for us!"
Zhu Hui looked at Tong Mengya: "If you don't have money, you still wear Gucci. The way you dress depends on your income."
The clothes Tong Mengya was wearing were bought by Zhou Zichen, and she usually wore very ordinary clothes. But this time when she came to see Zhou Zichen, she specially found these clothes. When she heard what Zhu Hui said, she immediately wanted to fight back, but was stopped by Zhou Zichen.
Stopped: "It's okay, it's okay, I'll handle it!"
Tong Mengya hugged Zhou Zichen's arm aggrievedly, but did not speak again.
Seeing Zhou Zichen stop Tong Mengya's counterattack, Zhu Hui also took off the watch on her wrist and handed it to Zhou Zichen: "You can check it yourself, you can also check it. It is definitely a genuine Longines."
After Zhou Zichen took it, he looked at it a few times and said, "It is indeed genuine, but this watch was not damaged by us, and we cannot compensate for it."
Zhou Zichen said and handed the watch to Zhu Hui.
Zhu Hui took the watch and her face became gloomy. She originally thought that Zhou Zichen would happily pay for it after seeing it: "What do you mean? You don't want to pay for it, right? Let me tell you, if you don't pay for it today, I will
Just call the police.”
Zhou Zichen's face gradually darkened. If it was really Tong Mengya who accidentally damaged it, Zhou Zichen could compensate and apologize. But if it was not caused by Tong Mengya, it would be impossible to compensate: "You can call the police and try.
There is no compensation, so now you apologize to her, or else I will sue you for blackmail, do you believe it or not?"
The airport staff originally thought that the matter could be resolved, but Zhou Zichen's expression suddenly changed after looking at his watch, and he quickly came out to persuade: "Both of you, don't get angry, our main purpose is to resolve the matter.
right?"
Zhu Hui sneered and said: "This is my attitude, and thirty or forty thousand is not much. If they say a few nice words, maybe I won't let them compensate. But look, what is their attitude? That's how they are.
, I didn’t call the police now, just because you have a good attitude at the airport.”
The airport staff said to Zhou Zichen: "Sir, you see, this matter is not easy for us to handle. If we really can't solve it, why not call the police and let the police handle it? What do you think?"
Zhou Zichen nodded: "Okay, now this matter is not about compensation, but about making him apologize. If he doesn't apologize, I will sue him for blackmail."
Zhu Hui was also angry: "I'm blackmailing? You should provide evidence."
"Okay, look at that watch of yours!" Zhou Zichen pointed to the watch and continued: "This watch is waterproof, with a waterproof depth of three bars..."
Before Zhou Zichen could finish speaking, Zhu Hui retorted: "A waterproof watch will definitely not be able to get water in? Besides, the official said that this is not a professional waterproof watch."
In fact, what Zhu Hui said was not unreasonable, and Zhou Zichen nodded and admitted: "You are right, but you are a little impolite in your words and like to interrupt others. This upbringing is not worthy of your clothes."
"You... if you have the guts, tell me again. I have a hundred ways to kill you. Do you believe it or not?" Zhu Hui was unconvinced when Zhou Zichen told her.
The airport staff quickly stopped Zhu Hui: "Ms. Zhu, please calm down and listen to what this gentleman said first."
After finally persuading Zhu Hui, Zhou Zichen continued: "Also, today is the 21st, the plane takes off at nine-twenty, and arrives in Jiangdong City at ten-forty, but the date shown on your watch is ten.
Number nine, five thirty-six."
"I just want to know, your watch stopped running at 5:36 on the 19th. Can you blame us today?"
Zhou Zichen has just seen through his eyesight that the waterproof performance of this watch is still there, and there is no juice inside at all. Secondly, the watch has not been cleaned for a long time, and foreign matter has entered. As long as it is cleaned and refueled, it can be solved.
The airport staff looked at the watch in Zhu Hui's hand. It was indeed as Zhou Zichen said. Everyone immediately understood that Zhu Hui was blackmailing Tong Mengya.
Zhou Zichen glared at Zhu Hui and said calmly: "Apologise to my friend, or we will continue to call the police."
Zhu Hui's aura immediately disappeared, and her face turned green and red. After being exposed by Zhou Zichen in front of so many people, Zhu Hui's face was still a little confused: "I didn't even know that the watch didn't move."
Zhou Zichen yelled: "Fart, I didn't know it for so many days, but I just happened to know it today? I saw it so many times, and I didn't know the time was wrong? Don't apologize. If you don't apologize, call the police immediately."
Seeing that Zhou Zichen was angry, Tong Mengya pulled Zhou Zichen gently: "How about forget it, we haven't lost anything anyway?"
Zhou Zichen looked down at Tong Mengya's still red eyes: "But you cried, and just asking her to apologize is already giving in."
The airport staff looked at Zhu Hui with a different look. They thought Zhu Hui was the victim before. Although they didn't say it directly, they tended to favor Zhu Hui when they spoke.
Now there is such a reversal, which makes the airport staff feel their faces burning.
"Ms. Zhu, just apologize! You did misunderstand Miss Tong just now. If you call the police, you will be detained for a few days even though there is no big problem."
When Zhu Hui heard this, she was so angry that she turned blue, but she had no other choice. She glared at Zhou Zichen fiercely, and then said to Tong Mengya: "I'm sorry!"
Tong Mengya was afraid that Zhou Zichen would still cause trouble for Zhu Hui, so she quickly said: "It's okay."
Tong Mengya said to Zhou Zichen again: "Let's go!"
Seeing that Tong Mengya didn't want to cause any more trouble to Zhu Hui, Zhou Zichen said to Zhu Hui, "You have to thank Mengya for her kindness."
Zhu Hui was not afraid of Zhou Zichen either. Remembering the insult she had just received, she said in a low voice: "You wait."
Zhou Zichen heard these three words from Zhu Hui, but didn't take them to heart. He turned around and left with Tong Mengya.
Zhu Hui also followed out of the office, took out her phone and dialed: "Husband, I was bullied."
"Who? Didn't you say someone broke your watch?"
"Huh, don't worry. Those two people have gone to the parking lot now. Are you still in the parking lot?"
"Here, waiting for you!"
"Wait, when I come out, help me stop them. I want them to admit their mistake to me and pay compensation!"
"OK, no problem!"
Zhu Hui hung up the phone and followed Zhou Zichen and the others towards the parking lot.
In fact, Zhu Hui was not far away from the two of them, and her voice was so loud that both Zhou Zichen and Tong Mengya could hear her. This was Zhu Hui deliberately showing off her "strength" to them.
Tong Mengya nervously held Zhou Zichen's hand: "Zichen, why don't we go another way?"
Zhou Zichen gently scratched Tong Mengya's nose: "Don't worry, I'm here. We already have a reason, why should we be afraid of them, right?"
Tong Mengya was still a little worried: "But... I'm afraid!"
Zhou Zichen smiled confidently: "Don't be afraid, I'm here. As long as I'm here from now on, no one can bully you!"
Zhou Zichen's words made Tong Mengya feel warm in her heart. She nodded lightly and said softly but firmly "Yeah". She believed that Zhou Zichen would be able to protect her. Zhou Zichen had never let her down.
