A hundred flavors of life

Chapter 1340 Manager Bai is scared to death! (Please subscribe!)

Hua Shier took Fan Shengmei to another, more upscale Japanese restaurant. The price was 2888 yuan per person, and the table was laden with Wagyu beef, tuna sashimi, caviar sushi, tempura, sea urchin, and other delicacies.

Watching Hua Shier skillfully order food, seemingly intimately familiar with Japanese cuisine, Fan Shengmei couldn't help but ask curiously:
"You seem to know a lot about this. Do you eat Japanese food often?"

Hua Shier looked disgusted:
"What's so good about this stuff? It's just that people used to invite me to eat it all the time. At first, I wouldn't go, but then they'd ask me to go to a fancy restaurant!"

"Just one woman, with all sorts of dishes and stuff displayed on her back."

Fan Shengmei exclaimed in surprise:

"I've heard of this, it's disgusting, don't tell me you went there!"

Hua Shier sighed:
"I did go. The woman was a rising star in Japan at the time, a singer, her name was something like Ayumi. She said she would serve me and asked me what I wanted to eat. When I said I wanted hot pot, she refused!"

Seeing him sighing and looking regretful, Fan Shengmei giggled:

"You're such a braggart, Wang Baichuan. I've realized you just love to talk nonsense. You're nothing like you were when you were in school!"

Hua Twelve continued:
"Speaking of which, that woman later became very famous in Japan. Sometimes I think, if we had changed the date to barbecue, maybe she would have agreed. Oh well, what a missed opportunity!"

Fan Shengmei laughed until her stomach hurt: "Alright, alright, you're getting cocky now that I'm saying you're fat!"

Hua Shier sighed helplessly: "These days, nobody believes you when you tell the truth!"

He was referring to his time as chairman of Sanwa in Japan during the last century. An entertainment company executive wanted to curry favor with him and invited him to dinner, so he arranged this project.

Hua Shier went with Akina at the time.

The new actress was initially quite enthusiastic when she heard she would be serving the chairman of Sanhe, but she was so frightened by the fact that Hua Shier wanted to eat hot pot that she burst into tears.

The other party's boss even threatened and bribed the actress, forcing her to agree, otherwise he would blacklist her and make her parents pay off the exorbitant loan.

In the end, Akina, being kind-hearted, stepped in to smooth things over, saying that Hua Shier was joking, which led to the actress being sent back.

Fan Shengmei enjoyed her meal to the fullest. On the way back, Hua Shier was focused on driving, and she turned her head to look at Hua Shier's perfect profile. Suddenly, she felt a flutter in her heart.

She longed to say "Wang Baichuan, I promise you" right then and there.

But soon, Fan Shengmei came to her senses and kept reminding herself that what good is being handsome or witty? It all depends on whether you have the financial means.

Is love without gold still love? It's just suffering. She rented a house before she found a man, and she still rents a house after she found a man. Isn't that a waste of time finding a man?

Fan Shengmei decided to rein in her impulsiveness and continue to assess Wang Baichuan's financial strength before making a decision, especially now that there was the added issue of his 'mental illness'.

Back in Ode to Joy, as soon as the car entered the residential area, Fan Shengmei pointed to the green space beside the road:

"Hey, look, isn't that Qu Xiaoxiao? And there's a really handsome guy next to her!"

Upon hearing her words, Hua Shier subconsciously slowed down and looked in the direction she was pointing.

Not far away, Qu Xiaoxiao was feeding stray cats with a handsome man.

The two were chatting and laughing, their faces beaming with smiles, looking like a couple in love, very intimate.

Meanwhile, around Qu Xiaoxiao and the handsome guy, seven or eight stray cats had gathered, all vying for the food the two of them were feeding them.

Fan Shengmei rolled down the car window, smiled, and waved:
"Xiao Qu, is this your boyfriend?"

Qu Xiaoxiao turned her head and saw Hua Shier and Fan Shengmei. Now, when she looked at Hua Shier, it was as if they were enemies meeting and their eyes were filled with hatred.

She immediately said to Fan Shengmei:
"Yes, this is my boyfriend, Dr. Zhao Qiping. Sister Fan, how did you end up in this scumbag's car? Be careful he doesn't swindle you out of everything!"

Hua Shier hadn't originally intended to pay any attention to Qu Xiaoxiao, but after hearing what she said, he pulled the car over to the side of the road and then smiled as he looked out the car window at Qu Xiaoxiao, asking:

"You vixen, where's your Manager Bai? How come you changed boyfriends so quickly?!"

Qu Xiaoxiao was about to explode when she saw Hua Shier trying to sow discord between her and Dr. Zhao.

But before she could speak, Zhao Qiping said:

"You've all misunderstood. I'm the doctor who treated Ms. Qu, not her boyfriend. I came here today because Ms. Qu invited me to feed the stray cats together. I thought it was a meaningful thing to do, so I didn't refuse!"

Hua Shier kindly reminded:

"Having a kind heart is a good thing, but feeding stray cats, although it may seem like a good deed, has a lot of drawbacks. It will attract more stray cats into the community, affecting the cleanliness of the community and the safety of the residents."

Zhao Qiping was taken aback, then nodded with a wry smile:

"You're right. I'm a surgeon, and I've seen many cases of people being scratched by stray cats. We really should be careful!"

Qu Xiaoxiao interrupted the two of them:
"Hey, Wang Baichuan, you just can't stand to see me doing well, can you? You have to nitpick, don't you? These stray cats are so pitiful. If you don't have a kind heart, then don't stop others from doing good deeds!"

Hua Twelve chuckled:
"You're so kind, why don't you take these stray cats home and raise them? You not only have a house here, but your parents also have a big villa, right? Using the neighborhood to raise stray cats, you're so kind!"

"Besides, Dr. Zhao already said he's not your boyfriend. What's it to you if we chat for a bit?"

Qu Xiaoxiao pouted: "He's not my boyfriend now, but he will be sooner or later!"

After she finished speaking, she said to Zhao Qiping beside her:

"Don't listen to this scumbag's nonsense! He has a grudge against me and is trying to poison my mind. My relationship with that Manager Bai he's talking about is completely innocent!"

Hua Twelve laughed heartily:
"That's completely innocent. When we were all eating together, Qu Xiaoxiao was rubbing her toes against Manager Bai's calf under the table. Oh, and Dr. Zhao, I even have photos. Do you want to see them?"

"Ahhh"

Qu Xiaoxiao screamed and rushed forward, but Hua Shier laughed and stepped on the gas, leaving the crazy woman behind.

Looking in the rearview mirror, you can see that after the car drove away, Qu Xiaoxiao tried to explain something to Zhao Qiping, but the latter's expression turned cold, and he started walking out of the community.

Hua Twelve clicked his tongue twice:
"Actually, I greeted her because I thought it was better to resolve conflicts than to let them fester, and I wanted to ease the tension. I didn't expect it to only make things worse. It's really fate!"

"I believe you ghost!"

Fan Shengmei was both amused and exasperated.
"How can you be so good at causing trouble? You just got into a fight with Andy's friend and ended up at the police station, and now you've driven Qu Xiaoxiao's Dr. Zhao away. How many people have you offended?!"

Hua Twelve smiled and said:
"Don't you even look at the times I started trouble? Andy's friend called me a petty person, how could I not fight him? Qu Xiaoxiao just called me scum, how could I not talk back?"

"In this situation, if I don't make them unhappy, then I'll be the one who's unhappy!"

"By the way, I saw a news report yesterday about a colleague who has a 'certificate' for mental illness. He had just finished treatment and went home to kill his neighbor. Compared to that, I've been very low-key, even though I also have a certificate!"

Fan Shengmei covered her forehead: "Stay away from me from now on, I'm afraid you'll suddenly chop me up!"

"Are you coming to the Dragon and Phoenix Pavilion for a big meal tomorrow?!"

"go with!"

Fan Shengmei felt that saying even one more word would be disrespectful to the Peace Hotel and Chinese cuisine.

Hua Shier smiled and shrugged: "Look at some people, they just can't believe what they say."

He invited Fan Shengmei to dinner not because he was interested in her, but mainly because he felt good having someone to chat with during the meal, so he wanted to find a dining companion.

If things fall apart with Fan Shengmei, I can just find another meal buddy.

After parking the car in the underground garage, the two had just gotten out when Hua Shier took out his phone and made a call right in front of Fan Shengmei:
"Hello, is this Manager Zhao from the property management? This is Wang Baichuan. I'd like to report a situation. Recently, some residents have been feeding stray cats in the community, which poses a safety hazard."

He explained the various risks of feeding stray cats, and Manager Zhao immediately promised to post a notice the next day explaining the pros and cons and prohibiting residents from feeding stray cats.

After he finished the call, he saw Fan Shengmei looking at him speechlessly.

Hua Shier chuckled: "There's nothing I can do, I'm just that upright!"

Fan Shengmei rolled her eyes: "Regarding what happened between you and Andy's friend today, you were arrested even without a certificate, and you call yourself upright?"

After going upstairs without saying anything, Hua Shier returned home and asked T1000 to help him look up information about Wei Wei.

A few minutes later, all the information that Wei Wei could find on the internet appeared on Hua Twelve's mobile phone.

Wei Wei's net worth exceeds one billion yuan. His businesses mainly consist of two parts: financial investment and foreign trade, both of which are quite large in scale.

Hua Shier felt that targeting the other party in the financial market would cause too much of a stir. He thought that he could consider targeting the foreign trade business instead. He believed that once he found a suitable opportunity, he could cripple the other party and make them pay the price.

He's not vindictive, as if he'd kill someone just because they insulted him. That's not the case at all. It's just that he's petty.

It's also the system's fault; isn't it frustrating to refuse a task?

In fact, Hua Shier himself is very magnanimous. People who offended him in the past are still alive and well, just like the living people!
The next morning, the doorbell rang.

When Hua Shier opened the door, Andy, dressed in a crisp white business suit, was standing outside.

Andy was holding a tray and spoke with some nervousness:
"I... I've come to apologize to you. I shouldn't have talked about you behind your back. I'm sorry, please forgive me!"

“I’m not very good at interpersonal relationships and I don’t have many friends. Wei Wei is my online friend. I told him about your relationship with Qu Xiaoxiao when we were chatting online.”

"I don't know how to apologize to you and get your forgiveness. This is a cake I baked myself, as a gift to make amends. Can you forgive me?"

Hua Shier took the cake: "Okay, I forgive you!"

After saying that, he casually slammed the door shut with a bang.

Andy blinked, looking somewhat aggrieved.

Yesterday, when she got home, she felt more and more that it was her fault. Talking about people behind their backs is wrong, especially when it involves a patient.

Andy felt that her actions must have hurt Wang Baichuan, and she felt extremely guilty, unable to sleep well all night.

When Andy woke up in the morning, he personally made a cheesecake to apologize.

She had considered that the other party might not forgive her, or even insult and ridicule her, but Andy felt that she could accept it.

But she didn't expect Hua Shier to forgive her so easily and accept her apology so readily.

This should have been a good thing, but Andy felt her guilt hadn't improved; in fact, it had made her feel even worse. She hesitated for a moment, then rang the doorbell again.

A moment later, the door opened again, and Andy saw Hua Shier holding a piece of cake she had made. The cake had already been bitten into, and she was eating it with gusto.

For some reason, Andy's mood instantly brightened, and she asked with a smile:

"Is it good? My cooking skills aren't very good."

Hua Shier was speechless: "You're knocking on the door again, not just to conduct a satisfaction survey, are you? How boring are you!"

Andy quickly explained:
"No, I wanted to tell you that I've already spoken with Wei Wei, and we're letting yesterday's matter go. He won't bother you anymore!"

Hua Shier really wanted to ask her, "Aren't you mistaken? I should be the one causing trouble for him," but he still nodded.
"Thank you so much!"

He slammed the door shut with a loud bang, nearly hitting Andy's nose this time. However, Andy left in a much better mood than before, and his steps were lighter.

After eating the cake, Hua Shier drove to work. When he left the community, he saw that the property management had posted a notice on the community's green space prohibiting the feeding of stray cats.

Shortly after the R8 drove past, a Mini drove out of the underground garage and stopped in front of the notice.

Qu Xiaoxiao looked at the contents of the announcement and grimaced:
"It must have been that bastard's doing! Feeding cats isn't illegal, I don't believe you can control me!" With that, he stepped on the gas and sped away.

At dinner time, Hua Shier and Fan Shengmei went to Longfeng Pavilion for Chinese food.

During dinner, Fan Shengmei told Hua Shier that Qiu Yingying had moved out of 2202 and started living with Manager Bai.

She also lamented how silly Xiao Qiu was, knowing full well that Manager Bai was no good, yet still actively going to him.

Hua Shier deliberately said, "If Qiu Yingying moves out, won't you lose a tenant and an income?"

Fan Shengmei's expression froze. She remembered bragging about buying a house. Who would have thought that right after she finished bragging, Hua Shier would become her neighbor?

She smiled awkwardly:
"It's okay. There are so many people renting now, and even if we can't rent it out, it's fine for Guan Guan and me to live together!"

Hua Shier smiled. The reason he gave Fan Shengmei a boost was simply because he loved watching the drama unfold.

Now, he'll add fuel to the fire and wait for the latter's lies to be exposed, then he'll see how embarrassed the other party will be.

Yeah, he thinks that's how people should be kind. When someone is bragging, you should flatter them too. Sooner or later, that bragging bastard, cough cough.
That day, Hua Shier originally wanted to go to a newly opened Fujian restaurant to eat Buddha Jumps Over the Wall. He called Fan Shengmei to ask if she wanted to come along, but the moment the call connected, he heard a girl crying on the other end.

Then came Fan Shengmei's voice:
"Bai Chuan, come back here first, Little Earthworm is back!"

Hua Shier knew it was time to watch the show, so he quickly drove home.

Upon entering room 2202, one immediately hears Qiu Yingying's sobbing:

"He won't let me look at his computer or his phone, and he's having an affair with a rich woman. I even saw them kissing."

Fan Shengmei gave a scathing critique of their breakup, then turned to Hua Shier and said irritably:

"And this little earthworm calls you his idol? All you do is watch the show, you don't even say a word!"

Hua Shier looked completely innocent: "No, this has nothing to do with me!"

"There are relationships!"

Qiu Yingying said while crying:
"Idol, I've been living with Manager Bai for a week, and he's been cursing you for seven days straight, saying you're a terrible person, and that you're taking pictures under the table, definitely trying to sneak up girls' skirts!"

"Damn it, this bastard framed me!"

Hua Shier never expected to get caught up in the drama himself: "Then what are we waiting for? Take me there, I'm going to beat him up!"

Fan Shengmei also said, "Perfect timing, Little Earthworm, take all your things back and break up with him for good!"

Hua Shier drove his R8 by himself, while the three girls hailed a taxi and went directly to Manager Bai's rented room.

In a room that is seven or eight square meters, once a bed is placed in it, there is not much room to move around.

With Supervisor Bai absent, Hua Shier's plan to commit the crime with a warrant thwarted.

Qiu Yingying packed up all her belongings and took them with her. Before leaving, Fan Shengmei stood up for her sister and messed up Manager Bai's clothes and things. Then she poured water from the thermos onto the bed.

Bai's neighbor heard the noise and came out to check, just in time to see this scene.

Fan Shengmei even took photos of the scene as a memento. Hua Shier smiled and shook his head, letting her go first. Then he stayed behind and asked the dumbfounded neighbor:
"Brother, you're quite a handsome man, what do you do for a living?"

On the way back, Guan Guan was a little worried, afraid that Fan Shengmei might break someone's things and that Manager Bai wouldn't let it go easily, but Fan Shengmei didn't seem to care at all:
"What are you afraid of? This time we're going to teach him a lesson and let him know that we girls aren't so easy to bully. Let's go back to Joyful Song and go sing and drink with Wang Baichuan!"

As it turns out, Guan Guan's concerns were justified.

After Manager Bai returned, he called the police. Uncle Hat came to Ode to Joy and not only took Fan Shengmei away, but also took Hua Shier into the police car.

When they arrived at the police station, Hua Twelve found it somewhat amusing:

"Uncle Hat, I just went to watch the fun. Are you sure this has anything to do with me?"

Uncle Hat scolded:
"Be honest, they said Miss Fan smashed their iPad, and you smashed their computer!"

Hua Shier turned his head and saw that in the same room, Manager Bai was looking over. Their eyes met, and the latter's smugness was evident.

Fan Shengmei explained to Uncle Hat:

"I did the whole thing myself. All I did was throw some old clothes around, stomp on them a few times, and pour some water on his bed. There was no computer or iPad involved!"

She got angrier and angrier, got up and argued with Manager Bai, then remembered that she had taken photos, so she showed them to Uncle Hat:
"Look, this is a photo I took after I smashed it. I didn't touch anything else on his things!"

Manager Bai sneered, "You took these photos first, and then you smashed my valuables. This can't be used as evidence. My demands aren't high; you two just need to pay compensation!"

Hua Shier asked Manager Bai, "Are you sure it was the two of us who smashed it? Let me tell you, we didn't lay a hand on it!"

Manager Bai sneered, "My roommate was there the whole time and saw you smash my computer. My roommate is outside right now and can testify against you at any time!"

Hua Twelve did not argue:
"You want to lose money, huh? Fine, I'm not going to argue with you anymore. Just name your price!"

Fan Shengmei immediately became agitated: "Why should we pay him? We didn't even touch his computer!"

Manager Bai ignored Fan Shengmei and said, "The computer costs 20,000, and the iPad costs 3,500!"

Hua Shier immediately took out his phone: "Here, I'll scan you!"

Fan Shengmei tried to grab his phone, but Hua Shier easily pulled it behind her back with one hand and then scanned 23,500 yuan for Manager Bai!

After finishing the sweeping, Manager Bai said with a smile:
"Alright, I won't pursue this matter this time. Just remember this lesson in the future, and don't damage other people's property. It's only because I'm kind-hearted that you're here; otherwise, you would all be in jail!"

Actually, Manager Bai knew that Hua Shier had nothing to do with this, but he heard from his roommate that a man had also come along. After asking about his appearance, he guessed that it was Hua Shier.

Remembering how he had suffered a great loss at Hua Shier's hands during their last meal together, Manager Bai deliberately dragged Hua Shier into the mess as revenge.

Now that he had made over 20,000 yuan for free, Manager Bai was in a great mood and said some things that sounded like he had gotten a good deal but was actually being smug, which made Fan Shengmei so angry that her face turned white.

After showing off, Manager Bai said to Uncle Hat with a hypocritical expression:

"Thanks to you all so much! I'll have to send you a banner of appreciation later. Um, can I go back now?"

Then it was Hua Shier's turn to laugh: "Which way back?"

After saying that, he delivered a groin kick, turning Manager Bai into a shrimp-like figure, causing him to roll around on the ground.

His kick was much harder than the one he gave Wei Wei; the swelling wouldn't go down for at least a month, and he even had difficulty going to the toilet!
When the men in hats saw that Hua Twelve was about to commit violence in front of them, they immediately tried to take measures against him.

Hua Shier remained calm under pressure; "I have my credentials!"

Uncle Hat was taken aback, thinking he had encountered a fellow professional. But when Hua Shier took out his recently replaced documents and showed them to him, it was a completely different story.

It says "Disability Certificate" on it, and below it is noted "Mental Disability", and there is also the seal of the Disabled Persons' Association.

Uncle Hua the Twelve Dynasty Hat said:

“I’m calling the police. This person just swindled me out of 23,500 yuan, which triggered my illness and caused a sudden mental breakdown, so I assaulted him. According to the law, I am not responsible. I am now suing him for fraud. Please arrest him immediately!”

Uncle Hat asked cautiously:
"So, are you experiencing an attack now, or not?"

Hua Shier said very seriously, "He was having an attack when I hit him, but he suddenly got better after I hit him. It's just that amazing!"

He took out his phone and made a call. The company's legal counsel arrived at the police station as quickly as possible to follow up on Manager Bai's case on behalf of Hua Shier.

The roommate, who originally came to testify on behalf of Manager Bai, suddenly turned against him, pointing out that Manager Bai had instigated him to commit perjury to frame Hua Shier and Fan Shengmei, and produced a video he had secretly recorded on his phone of Manager Bai instigating him.

Hua Shier spread his hands: "The matter is already very clear, right? I heard that fraud exceeding 3000 yuan can lead to criminal charges. Attorney Huang, this guy surnamed Bai defrauded me of 23000 yuan. How many years can he usually be sentenced to?"

Attorney Huang, who was also his company's legal counsel, immediately provided an answer upon hearing this:

"The amount of 23,000 yuan has reached the standard of 'relatively large amount' for the crime of fraud. According to the law, he should be sentenced to imprisonment for up to three years and fined."

Hua Shier smiled slightly and showed his identification to Attorney Huang:

"What if we add this?"

Attorney Huang was so shocked by the documents that he kept swallowing hard; his boss was too ruthless.
"This situation targets vulnerable groups, and the case has escalated to a serious offense, warranting a sentence of 3 to 10 years. In addition, considering the false accusation, the court will likely impose the maximum penalty!"

The officers in charge of the case were dumbfounded. They had never seen such a ruthless person as Hua Shier. Right in front of them, he could turn the world upside down with a flick of his wrist and make the man surnamed Bai enjoy a ten-year long vacation in an instant!
Hua Shier walked over to Bai's roommate and patted him on the shoulder:

"I admire people who are as upright and honest as I am. You seem to be that kind of person. I happen to need a driver. The monthly salary is 15,000. Would you like to do it?"

The roommate nodded happily and immediately called him "boss"!

The others realized by then that their roommate had recorded the conversation beforehand and betrayed them at the crucial moment.

Now, with this job paying 15,000 yuan a month, it's clear that what happened today was a trap set for Manager Bai, and one that has no way to be escaped.

At this moment, Manager Bai was in pain and terrified, so much so that he wet himself.

Thanks to 08a and Little Tiger of the Demon Realm for their donations, and thanks to the brothers who voted with monthly tickets and recommendation tickets. Thank you very much.
