Chapter 375: BMW Female Driver Apologizes_2
Chen Feng and Han Shipei didn't know what was going on with this couple across from them. When they saw Qi Hong, the once extremely arrogant female BMW driver, actually apologize to Han Shipei, they were even more shocked.
What's going on here?
They certainly didn't believe this couple was exceptionally cultivated, moral models. They were absolutely certain of this. Because in real life, there's no such thing as these moral saints.
The sudden humility after arrogance wasn't a case of sudden conscience or a moral issue, there were other factors at play.
However, having said that, Ding Baichuan, Qi Hong's husband, seemed to have been very cultured and polite from the first time they met.
Could it be that Ding Baichuan was really a moral model?
His wife's newly bought BMW worth over a million was crashed due to Han Shipei's mistake, and then emotionally charged, she slapped Han Shipei. Yet, just because of this, he sternly criticized his wife and even forced her to apologize to Han Shipei.
On the surface, it seems right. After all, hitting people is wrong.
But from the perspective of normal human relations and the relationship between close and distant people, this matter seems odd and awkward.
Simply put, if it were someone else's husband, they certainly wouldn't handle it this way.
"This... I accept your apology. There's no need to hit back. But, can you reduce the compensation amount?" Han Shipei recovered from the shock. Although she didn't understand the reason, she immediately sought to maximize her interest.
Ding Baichuan smiled slightly and said, "I just said. We want to offer an apology for the previous incident. My wife already apologized, and next comes the compensation. We plan to cover the car damage ourselves this time, which means the 30% of the vehicle repair costs that you were originally supposed to pay, you don't have to anymore. We'll cover it ourselves. What do you think?"
"Ah! That's... of course, not a problem. Great! Thank you! Thank you both! You two are really good people, and good people will be rewarded."
Ding Baichuan didn't expect Han Shipei to give him a 'good person card', and couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth, but he quickly concealed it.
"Haha, since Miss Han is satisfied, then there's no problem."
Ding Baichuan smiled warmly and then looked at Chen Feng, "Mr. Chen, do you think handling it like this is okay?"
Chen Feng of course saw through some clues at this time. He guessed the reason the other party was being so generous was probably because of him. It's possible that Ding Baichuan had known him from before, even though he didn't know the other party.
"Boss Ding, you seem quite familiar. Have we met before?" Chen Feng asked with a half-smile.
Ding Baichuan was slightly taken aback, then smiled and said, "It's possible we've met. Because Mr. Chen also seems familiar to me, as if I've seen you somewhere, but I can't recall at the moment."
As he said this, he skillfully took out a gold-edged business card from his purse and handed it to Chen Feng with both hands, "This is my business card, please kindly advise."
Seeing his etiquettes, Chen Feng did not neglect and accepted the business card with both hands, first having a look: Chairman and President of Feilida Property, Ding Baichuan.
When Chen Feng saw that he was the owner of a property company, and upon seeing Feilida Property, he suddenly realized that their Red Villa Bay's property company was Feilida, which could be seen on the monthly property bill.
Chen Feng then knew why Ding Baichuan was so deferential and cultured.
Needless to say, Ding must have recognized him right away, since the most expensive and luxurious villa—No. 8 Villa in the large villa area of Red Villa Bay—is owned by none other than him.
As the manager of the Red Villa Bay's property company, Ding doesn't need to know every homeowner's details, but he definitely knows about the ones who stand out, like the owner of No. 8 Villa.
It's much like class teachers in middle and primary schools, who certainly know and have information about the leaders' children at the start of the school year.
Of course, this is human nature. Chen Feng didn't reveal it, and instead, nonchalantly put away the card, then casually took a card out from his clothing pocket, handing it over with both hands.
His business card's title was Chairman of Fengmang Film and Television Company, and these cards were custom made by Wu Mengting for him. Although it wasn't a fancy gold-edged business card, each one cost five bucks.
Ding Baichuan quickly and happily accepted it with both hands as well, pretending to look at it, and then said with a smile, "Pleasure to meet Mr. Chen. One can tell at a glance you're not an ordinary character, and I feel I have quite a connection with you, Mr. Chen. How about we have a meal together? I know a private restaurant not far from here. Their squirrel fish is a specialty, and it's extremely delicious."
Chen Feng wasn't interested in forming deeper connections with him, and besides, it wasn't mealtime, so why have a meal? He shook his head directly and said, "Sorry. Thank you for the kind offer, but I have something to attend to later. Let's save it for another time."
"Haha, okay then. Let's have a good meal together sometime when there's a chance. I've set this friendship with you."
Ding Baichuan appeared very lively, especially standing up and extending his hand for a handshake with Chen Feng.
Since the other party was cordial first, Chen Feng rose to his feet to shake hands with him.
"Mr. Chen, I happen to know a few real estate company bosses who are quite interested in investing in film and television. And since Mr. Chen runs a film and television company, if there's a need for funding, feel free to contact me. I can help form connections."
"Thank you, if needed, I will contact you."
"Haha, good. I'm really glad to meet Mr. Chen today. It's unfortunate that we can't have a few drinks together."
"There'll be time for that later."
"Yes, indeed, there'll be time. I believe I will see Mr. Chen again in the future."
"Alright. Let's leave it at that for now. See you when there's an opportunity."
Chen Feng, not wanting to be falsely friendly with this veteran, quickly mentioned leaving.
"Good good, see you when there's a chance." Ding Baichuan waved goodbye to Chen Feng with a smile.
Chen Feng gave him a final nod, then pulled along the somewhat dazed Han Shipei and turned to leave.
After Chen Feng and Han Shipei walked out of the 4S store, Ding Baichuan slowly retracted the smile hanging on his face.
"Really, is this person worth you being so submissive?" Qi Hong said with resentment.
Ding Baichuan gave her a look, his face slightly stern as he said, "You almost messed up my business just now."
Qi Hong said angrily, "It was clearly that little brat's fault. Us apologizing to them felt a bit pathetic."
Ding Baichuan rolled his eyes at her and said, "We are in business. You should understand, sometimes our face is very valuable, but sometimes it's worth nothing. For example, when facing someone like Mr. Chen, our face is not worth mentioning, because he has more connections and background than us. In the face of such big figures, we're at most a speck. What's face worthwhile for?"
