Wang Tie Niu leaned back on the sofa, stroking his chin. The two sisters' intentions were to get him to reduce or even waive the repair costs. If he had no ulterior motives, it wouldn't be a big deal to not ask them to pay. But he would likely be labeled a "fool with money."
Did he have no ulterior motives? How could that be! He was practically drooling. "Might as well play the villain, hehe." Wang Tie Niu struck his fist against his palm, deciding on a course of action. He then opened his search engine and checked information on Bihu.
After a while, a sudden phone call interrupted Wang Tie Niu's thoughts. "Mr. Wang, we're here."
"Alright, meet you at the hotel entrance." Wang Tie Niu walked out of his courtyard towards the hotel entrance. He saw two beautiful figures from afar.
"They're so beautiful." As Wang Tie Niu approached, he couldn't help but take a deep breath. He pursed his lips, feeling a bit dry, and swallowed involuntarily.
Reaching the beautiful women, Wang Tie Niu couldn't resist looking them up and down. Qin Xian Yun's 1.78-meter height combined with 8-centimeter high heels was simply too impactful. Her stunningly beautiful face captivated Wang Tie Niu, leaving him mesmerized.
"A beauty, truly a beauty. The system shows she's a new model. I can't miss this opportunity, or I'll regret it for the rest of my life."
From a distance, Qin Xian Yun saw an ordinary young man approaching them. Even though her sister had described him beforehand, this young man seemed nothing like the owner of a multi-million dollar supercar. Especially as he walked closer, he just stared at her up and down without greeting them, his gaze bold and lacking any semblance of proper upbringing.
Qin Xian Yun, a girl born and raised in Shanghai, instantly categorized Wang Tie Niu as a nouveau riche from the countryside, not a "tycoon" but a "country bumpkin."
"Hi, beautiful ladies, good evening." After getting his fill of staring, Wang Tie Niu casually greeted them and extended his hand towards Qin Xian Yun. Qin Xian Yun's lips twitched subtly, she hesitated for a second before reaching out her hand.
"Nice to meet you, Mr. Wang." Thankfully, Wang Tie Niu only shook her hand lightly before releasing it, putting Qin Xian Yun at ease. She was truly afraid he would use every opportunity to grope her.
"Come on, let's not stand at the door. This way, please. Go have dinner. Both of you must be hungry." Wang Tie Niu enthusiastically led the way. Qin Xian Yun exchanged a glance with her sister and followed slowly behind.
"I wonder if the two beauties can handle spicy food. I checked, this place has a La Zhu restaurant specializing in Gan cuisine and Chaoshun cuisine. There's also an ARVA restaurant specializing in Italian cuisine. I haven't tried either, what do you two think?"
"Let's go to the ARVA restaurant then. We both can't handle spicy food." Qin Xian Yun considered for a moment before answering. "Alright, let's go this way."
"Mr. Wang, about this afternoon's..." Seeing Qin Xian Yun proactively bring up the topic, Wang Tie Niu's expression turned serious. "We'll discuss this matter slowly once we're seated," he said. Qin Xian Yun's heart sank slightly, and she remained silent.
The three entered the ARVA restaurant in silence. Wang Tie Niu was very hospitable, urging the sisters to order whatever they wanted, but Qin Xian Yun and her sister had no appetite, so they casually picked two dishes. Wang Tie Niu, however, was very enthusiastic and ordered a lot of dishes, seemingly planning on having a grand feast.
"Miss Qin, do you know roughly how much the repair cost is?" Wang Tie Niu initiated the conversation.
"Yes, it's about 3 million to 4 million." Qin Xian Yun nodded slightly. "How about this, I won't ask for the remainder, just the whole numbers. You can decide. If it's over 2 million, we'll count it as 2 million, if it's over 3 million, we'll count it as 3 million. What do you say?"
"Mr. Wang, I'm grateful for your generosity here. But we don't have that much money right now. Xian Chen just started her second year of college and doesn't have any income. I wonder if you could give us a little more time, or perhaps... reduce it some more?" Qin Xian Yun's aura wasn't as strong anymore.
After all, they were the ones at fault and were asking for a favor. It wasn't ungenerous of Wang Tie Niu to waive the remainder, but it was still far from what they hoped for.
"Miss Qin, do you think my money came from the wind?" Wang Tie Niu leaned back in his chair, tapping his fingers on the table, his eyes sharp as he asked.
"Aren't you just a rich second-generation? This money wasn't earned by you. What difference does it make if it came from the wind?" This was the shared thought of the Qin sisters, but they wouldn't dare say it out loud.
"Of course not. Mr. Wang is a young and successful man, clearly a business elite." Qin Xian Yun said with a lie.
"Earning this amount of money might be a piece of cake for you, but for my sister and me, it could take years. Our parents both passed away from illnesses a few years ago, and we've lost contact with relatives and friends. Even if we wanted to borrow, we'd be powerless." Qin Xian Yun's eyes were slightly red as she spoke.
"I'm an orphan. I haven't had parents since I was born." Wang Tie Niu said calmly.
Qin Xian Yun swore she had imagined countless responses from Wang Tie Niu, but she couldn't have dreamed he would say that. There were too many loopholes, and she was speechless, not knowing how to reply.
"He's not a rich second-generation? Could it be that he earned all this money himself?" Qin Xian Chen's thoughts wandered in another direction.
"Debts must be repaid, it's only natural. My money is also earned through hard work. Are the two Miss Qins not planning to pay?" Wang Tie Niu cut to the chase, bluntly.
"Of course not!" The Qin sisters shook their heads together. Their faces weren't thick enough to admit to not paying. They couldn't possibly do that in person.
"Good. I'll expedite contacting the Bugatti people tomorrow. Whether we ship it back for repairs or send engineers for damage assessment, I'll tell you the final figure as soon as possible. You can prepare the money in the next few days." Wang Tie Niu said impassively.
"I checked with the insurance company. Qin Xian Chen is the car owner. If you don't pay, I'll file a civil lawsuit directly. I'll send the summons straight to your school. I'll make sure Miss Qin gets a taste of fame at school." Wang Tie Niu went all out, directly threatening them.
Qin Xian Yun, after all, was a middle-level manager of a listed company. Hearing this, she was simply furious. Qin Xian Chen, however, felt like a bolt of lightning had struck her, her delicate face turned pale, with no trace of blood. Her ice-cold hands tightly gripped her sister's clothes under the table. If it really escalated to the point where they went to her school, she wouldn't have the face to show her face there anymore.
Sensing her sister's panic, Qin Xian Yun was also filled with anger. Her tone turned cold. "Mr. Wang, why would you scare my sister? It's just a few million. Don't you think I, Qin Xian Yun, can't afford to pay?"
"If you can afford it, that's good. I look forward to it arriving soon." Wang Tie Niu shrugged.
"You! Hmph!" Qin Xian Yun grabbed her sister and attempted to stand up and leave directly. "Since you're already here, don't leave without eating. It's not good for your health. If you get a stomach ache, you're the one who'll suffer." It just so happened that dish after dish was being brought out. Wang Tie Niu urged them to stay.
The commotion might have been a little too loud, and other customers in the restaurant were glancing over. Qin Xian Yun looked around, gritted her teeth, and sat back down.
For the rest of the time, neither side spoke. Qin Xian Yun and her sister naturally found the food tasteless, while Wang Tie Niu was enjoying himself immensely.
After paying, the Qin sisters controlled their anger and bid farewell to Wang Tie Niu, even without waiting for his reply, they stormed out. The sound of their high heels clicking heavily on the floor gradually faded away. Wang Tie Niu let out a meaningful smile.
"Sis, he was scaring me, right?" Qin Xian Chen asked quietly, after being silent for a while on the way home.
"He was definitely scaring you. Sis will take care of this. You just focus on your studies." Qin Xian Yun stretched out her right hand and stroked her sister's head.
"What if he really did that?" Qin Xian Chen buried her head in her knees.
"Don't worry, with Sis's connections, raising this amount of money won't be a problem. Tomorrow, go out and relax with your classmates. Just wait for Sis's good news." Qin Xian Yun gave her sister a gentle smile.
"Okay, thank you, sis." Qin Xian Chen held her sister's hand to her cheek and rubbed against it gently. Back home, there was no further conversation.
