I Get A Random New Occupation Every Week

Chapter 3835: Chapter 3823: A Dead Pig Is Not Afraid of Boiling Water

"Stop, stop, stop..."

Lin Yi raised his voice.

"Everyone, I believe you all have cars at home. Do you think this can be resolved with just 500 bucks?"

"Why can’t it be solved? Our car was scratched before, it cost 30 bucks, bought some paint online, and fixed it in no time. Giving this much money is already more than generous. Dreaming of getting 200,000? Get real."

Zhou Li spoke nonstop like a machine gun, after confronting Lin Yi, she then turned her target towards Feng Zhengxiang.

"Feng Zhengxiang, if you have any difficulties, just say so. We’ll donate some money to you. We all live in the same community, why resort to these methods to get money? Aren’t you ashamed? How will you show your face in this community in the future? Aren’t you afraid of people talking behind your back?" Zhou Li shouted.

"How am I scamming for money? Your child scratched my friend’s car, ruined my wedding, and you still have the nerve to speak?"

"Isn’t that so? The child is so young, what do they know!" Zhou Li retorted:

"And my son is very obedient at home, hasn’t even broken a bowl. Maybe it was your people who said something to offend my son."

"I agree that’s possible. It must be your people who upset our Zihan." Another woman echoed.

"Stop, stop, stop, everyone, please calm down." Lin Yi called everyone to a halt, "I called you here to solve the problem, not to argue."

"Alright, you guys don’t interview anymore, we don’t have time to waste on you. We’ll pay 1,000 each, that’s our bottom line. If you want to extort more, that’s impossible!"

Lin Yi looked at Zhou Li, finding that she was indeed more assertive than the others.

"I think now is not the time to shirk responsibility. I have watched the surveillance video several times; everyone’s responsibility is about the same. Sharing the losses is reasonable, but 1,000 per person is too little, not even enough to fix one car."

"Are the cars made of gold? Do they need that much money? How much does it cost to buy a car?"

"Because two of the cars are worth over a million each, the repair cost for the same damage is higher. It’s a simple principle you should understand."

"Don’t talk to me about this; the most we can offer is 1,000. Take it or leave it."

Feng Zhengxiang looked troubled, "Journalist, what should we do now?"

"If they refuse negotiation, then the only option is to sue them."

"Don’t throw around lawsuits so easily, who are you trying to scare?" Zhou Li’s attitude was arrogant; she didn’t take Lin Yi seriously at all:

"I’m telling you, it’s 1,000 bucks, take it or leave it. If you have the guts, go ahead and sue us, don’t think I’ll be scared of you."

"Since you don’t agree, we’ll have to proceed with a lawsuit. Expect a call from the court soon."

"Go ahead, don’t think I’ll be afraid." Zhou Li sneered, "Let’s go."

Zhou Li led her people away, leaving Feng Zhengxiang looking distressed.

"Journalist, will a lawsuit really solve the problem? Will it take a lot of time?"

"You don’t have to worry about this, we’ll handle everything. We’ll call you when we need your cooperation, just wait for our news."

"That’s great, it’s already this late, you probably haven’t eaten yet. Come to my shop and have something to eat; it’s on me."

"There’s no need for that, we need to get back to work."

"Then I won’t delay your work any further."

After expressing his gratitude again, Feng Zhengxiang left.

Lin Yi and Zhao Yuhuan tidied up and also returned to their car.

"Lin Bro, didn’t you say a lawsuit might not work? What if they become deadbeats?"

"Simply suing them might not be enough, but using other methods can work better."

"Hmm? What methods?"

"The best way to deal with bad people is to be worse than them."

Lin Yi said with a chuckle:

"If they don’t pay 200,000, then we’ll make them pay 400,000, otherwise, they can wait to lose their jobs."

"Huh? 400,000? Is that even possible?"

"Just watch me."

...

After chatting with Lin Yi and the others, Zhou Li and the six didn’t go home right away but gathered together.

"Big Sis Li, you’re amazing, confronting those two reporters head-on, your speaking skills are incredible."

"It’s just a little thing," Zhou Li said:

"I’ve seen plenty of people like them; they work for whoever pays them. I bet they’ve taken money from Feng Zhengxiang."

"I think so too; how much does it cost to fix some paint, and they dare ask for 200,000? Why don’t they just go rob?" the others echoed.

"We need to stick together; I bet they’ll definitely call again later, but all of you listen to me. Don’t go out alone; even if we negotiate, we’ll do it together, don’t let anyone fall behind," Zhou Li said.

"But the journalist said if we don’t pay, they’ll sue. I’m a bit scared of that; what if they really sue us?"

"You lack experience," Zhou Li said:

"That’s their usual tactic, meant to scare people like you who haven’t seen the world. I work at an accounting firm and have dealt with such things. I can guarantee they’re just trying to scare you."

"But what if they really sue?"

"Then you should worry even less. They just want to extort money, and the court will see through their little tricks right away. If they sue, they might even expose themselves, and we might not have to pay as much," Zhou Li said. "Just keep a calm mind."

"I feel reassured hearing that from you."

"Alright, let’s disperse and head home."

Everyone left one after another, not putting much thought into it.

"How did it go?" Zhou Li’s husband asked when she got home.

"I handled it all," Zhou Li sat on the sofa, crossing her legs and picking up an apple to eat.

"I really can’t believe these people. Just a few scratches on the car, and they want so much money; why don’t they just go rob a bank?"

"When I came back today, I passed by Feng Zhengxiang’s shop, and there were hardly any people there. They’ve probably gone bankrupt and are trying to take this chance to scam us."

"I didn’t let them off easily. Even with journalists there, I wasn’t afraid, and directly told them we’d only pay 1,000, and that’s it."

"I think even 1,000 is too much."

"Can’t help it, when the journalists come, it’s like spending money to avoid disaster," Zhou Li grumbled, "Work has been stressful recently, and now this, it’s just getting worse."

"Did they agree?"

"Not yet, no matter what, that’s all the money there is, let it be."

"Alright."
