Chapter 337 - 182: People Are Different—Have You Understood This Principle? (Part 4)
Zhang Quan’s father is named Zhang Tiancang, and he is the deputy director of Hai City Museum, as well as a somewhat famous calligrapher.
Zhang Quan’s mother, Liu Xiuling, runs a company that trades calligraphy paintings and other artworks. Besides trading antique art pieces, they also manage art auctions.
Zhang Quan has inherited his parents’ artistic talents to some extent and has leveraged their social connections to smoothly become a professor at Hai City Academy of Fine Arts at 27.
Zhang Quan thought that if Yang Chen and Xue Yinong were friends, then they could settle the 168,000 yuan vase for just 5,000 yuan. So why couldn’t he use his parents’ social connections to negotiate a lower compensation from the restaurant?
When Zhang Tiancang heard his son say that he had broken a vase at Xue Lihong’s, he immediately became furious.
But as a deputy director, he had no relation to the Xue Family and couldn’t help his son.
So, he told his son to call his mom.
His mother’s company was currently collaborating with Xue Yinong.
Zhang Quan quickly gave his mother a call.
When his mother heard that he had broken a vase at Xue Yinong’s restaurant, she immediately commanded, "Pay the full price immediately, don’t delay at all! Do you hear me clearly?"
Zhang Quan was bewildered and then complained, "Mom, I’m calling you to help me, not to order me to compensate!"
Liu Xiuling immediately replied, "Mom just received four paintings from Miss Xue, which are about to go on auction. If you mess this up now, it’ll be a huge loss for mom. The money mom earns is all for you, isn’t it? This means you would lose a lot of money yourself!"
Hey hey, these words make perfect sense.
Besides, Xue Yinong could replace the company managing the auction for those four paintings, and offending her at this time wouldn’t end well.
Zhang Quan responded with an "oh" and hung up the phone.
Then, reluctantly but helplessly, he said to Manager Zhou Haibo, "Manager Zhou, sorry, I spoke loudly just now. I apologize to you, and I am willing to compensate at full price. I deeply regret affecting everyone’s meal, and I apologize to everyone."
The other diners couldn’t help but laugh.
Brother, are you okay?
Others make calls to solve problems, but your call was to order yourself to apologize and compensate?
Brother, if you don’t have the capability, don’t pretend. That call made it seem like you’re really something.
In comparison, that rideshare driver brother is really something. If he hadn’t voluntarily offered compensation, the manager wouldn’t dare to ask.
It can only be said that people are different, brother, have you understood this truth?
It’s the first time diners showed such respect to a rideshare driver, all casting admiring glances.
Liu Yanzi felt embarrassed and pulled out her membership card, saying, "Swipe the card for the bill, I’ll split it with him."
Manager Zhou Haibo nodded and quickly swiped half.
Liu Yanzi took the card and left directly.
Zhang Quan wanted to chase after her, but Manager Zhou Haibo quickly held him back, saying, "Mr. Zhang, Miss Liu said you would split the bill, she paid half, but you haven’t paid your half or the compensation for the vase yet."
With a look of resignation, Manager Zhou obediently handed over the bank card to settle the bill.
Yuan Xiaozao: "Hehe... Brother Chen, you’re really amazing. If you hadn’t offered to compensate, they wouldn’t dare ask. Look at him, hehe... full price compensation, and he even got his girlfriend mad enough to leave."
Yang Chen: "I was just lucky to be friends with the owner of this place. Anyway, let’s eat."
The Yuan Xiaozao family happily urged Yang Chen to eat more.
Seeing Yang Chen, Zhang Jieying thought he looked increasingly pleasant, thinking, "Oh my, if only he could be my son-in-law. Xiaozao, be smart and do whatever it takes to win him over."
Zhang Quan settled the bill and was about to leave when two familiar beautiful figures walked in...
